Chapter 202 Warning
There are various life forms in the universe. The five main life forms that the Interstellar Alliance has discovered so far are carbon-based life, silicon-based life, metal life, cyborg life, and spiritual life. Carbon-based life is the basis of other life forms and is the most numerous life form. However, due to its limited talent, although there are occasionally some amazing people, the overall development is still weak. The more advanced the civilization, the smaller the proportion of carbon-based life. In the core planets of the Alliance, silicon-based life accounts for more than 80%, while carbon-based life accounts for less than 5%.
The Earth is a very primitive planet, basically all carbon-based life. Therefore, although it contains gene fragments of almost all races in the universe, after the virus is released, the vaccine extracted from the Earthlings does not mean that it is suitable for all races. The fact is that what is an antidote for some people is a deadly poison for others. In order to develop the vaccine into a specific drug that can really cure a certain race, Kayul Company needs to conduct a lot of research and clinical trials on this race. Recruiting volunteers for the experiment not only costs a lot of money, but also requires complying with a lot of detailed and cumbersome legal provisions according to the regulations of different planets and countries. Even so, if there are omissions, there may be prosecution, negative news and sky-high compensation.
Therefore, Kayul Company has very strict restrictions on public clinical trials. Basically, it is the personal behavior of researchers. If there is a problem, they will pay for it. When the company's new drug is in the experimental stage, their simplest and crudest approach is to release the virus and drugs to some primitive stars that are not under the supervision of the alliance, patiently wait for feedback, and when people show different symptoms, they will capture the experimental subjects for research, improve the drugs, and repeat the same process. During this period, it is inevitable to accidentally destroy one or two planets.
However, people usually don't have much empathy for the suffering of others. The destruction of a primitive star thousands of light years away is just a topic of conversation after dinner, but not as important as a small test the next day. Therefore, such news will soon be forgotten by most people, and it doesn't matter whether Kayul is the mastermind behind it. If it is made public that Kayul's actions are to save the people in the alliance who are enduring illness and suffering, because they are the vested interests, they will not be disgusted, but may praise this "heroic" behavior.
Only those who have experienced the pain themselves can understand why it hurts so much when others are hurt.
This is the content disclosed in the email.
Kayul is a pharmaceutical company that dominates the alliance, and this situation is abnormal. They are not without enemies. There were senior figures in the alliance who wanted to support a company that could compete with Kayul. There were also high-level planets that banned Kayul from entering and selling all medicines because they disliked Kayul's practices. There were also some wild companies that made breakthroughs under the leadership of some geniuses, but rejected Kayul's acquisition requests without knowing when to retreat.
Those who refused Kayul's friendship or threatened his position soon discovered that there was something seriously wrong with their products. A broken stool could be fixed, but a problem with a life-saving drug could easily kill many people.
The planets that were hostile to Kayul would soon find that a large-scale infectious epidemic had broken out in their area, with people dying in the thousands. In order to save their people, the rulers had to put aside their pride and anger and humbly ask Kayul for help.
When the alliance wanted to split up or target Kaiyuer, Kaiyuer did not mind using some means to remind them of its importance, and eventually all accusations and dissatisfaction would come to nothing.
——I can save you, or I can kill you. It all depends on your choice.
Kayul Corporation silently conveyed this threat. They had viruses and bacteria in one hand and drugs and vaccines in the other. It could be said that they had kidnapped people from all over the galaxy. As long as people still cared about people and things, they had to tolerate its continued existence.
However, this feeling was best understood by those who had tried to make enemies with Kayul. Some people in the alliance's top brass also had a vague sense of it, but either they had been fed by Kayul, or it was more important to protect themselves, or they did not dare to act rashly because they had no evidence in their hands. In short, they all kept silent and allowed Kayul to become the largest company in the galaxy.
Ordinary people are completely unaware of these things, and many people regard Kayul as their life's aspiration. Perhaps their relatives died in a random experiment or virus demonstration by Kayul, but when Kayul claimed that it had developed a vaccine, the ignorant people still gratefully accepted the salvation and willingly put Kayul on the altar.
However, an email that was quickly spread and forwarded on the Star Network and clicked over a billion times in just half an hour completely shattered its halo.
…
"Is what the email said true? Was the Mayflower plague deliberately spread by the Kayul Company?"
"Kayul Corporation already has a vaccine for the Kama PN77I virus, but it has been delayed for three months before announcing its successful development. Is the real purpose to wipe out the Lulu Autonomous Region that opposes Kayul Corporation?"
"How does Kayul explain the secret research on biomorphs? You know this is against the Interstellar Humanitarian Law, right?"
"Does Kayul admit that he once used the intelligent life on the primitive star as experimental subjects and conducted large-scale experimental research unilaterally without the other party's knowledge?"
Sharp questions came one after another. A Kayul company manager who was rushing to an emergency meeting was blocked by reporters on the way. Thumb-sized camera bees were about to fly into his nostrils. The manager was questioned and sweating profusely. At first, he could barely answer a few sentences, but soon he became incoherent and kept wiping the sweat beads on his forehead. The reporters around him were staring at him like lightning. His every move was recorded quickly, and even the slightest flick of his fingers was interpreted with countless meanings.

Leila sat on the ground with her knees bent. A plate was broken into pieces and her palms were stabbed in several places. Her eyes were dull, as if she didn't feel any pain at all.
She still remembered the despair she felt when her child stopped breathing in her arms - his small body gradually became cold in her arms, his bright eyes could no longer open, and his soft hands became stiff. Before his eyes closed, he still looked at her with trust and attachment, believing her lies and believing that she had the power to save him.
However, she could only watch everything happen and could do nothing.
Tell her now that the disease that took her child away was not a natural disaster, it was not because they could not take care of the child, but it was a man-made disaster?
"Haha...haha...hahaha..." Leila let out a dry, shrill laugh like a night owl. Her laughter grew louder and louder, but her eyes were filled with deep hatred!
…
Qi Mu leaned against the cabinet, slowly wiping a laser gun. This gun was very old, a toy gun that was popular decades ago. Qi Mu's grandfather bought it for his father and then left it to him. This gun was far less fashionable and cool than the popular models on the market. If he took it out, anyone who saw it would probably laugh at him. It was silly to wipe it so carefully.
Only Qi Mu knew that the inside of the gun had been modified and its power was no weaker than that of an ordinary gun. So he wiped it very carefully, as if he was treating a fragile work of art.
Above Qimu, there are actually six brothers and sisters, namely Damu, Ermu, Sanmu... all the way up to Liumu, as well as parents, grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins... Their race has a strong fertility capacity and they all like to have many children and grandchildren, so Qimu once really had a very large family.
But now, he is the only one left.
Because there is a , many medicines can nearly double their efficacy by adding this plant, but its growth conditions are very harsh, and artificial cultivation will quickly reduce the medicinal properties. Only in the natural environment of their planet can the best plants grow. The population of Qimu's race is expanding too fast, seriously threatening the continued survival of other creatures, so in order to protect this precious plant, Kayul Company believes it is necessary to help them reduce the population burden.
As a result, nine out of ten houses were empty.
The official investigation said that this was the result of humans wantonly destroying the environment and the ecological chain. However, a document signed and issued by the Kayul Corporation headquarters and published on the Star Network showed that all this was just because their contribution to the overall alliance was not as good as a blade of grass, so they had to give up their living space.
After wiping, Qi Mu looked at his work, then saw a family photo on the cabinet beside him. He smiled, reached out, closed the photo face down, and walked out the door.

"All employees of the Kayul Research Institute have been arrested. Here is the list. The Peninglang Empire hopes that we can assist in the investigation. In addition, many victims have attacked the institute, obstructed law enforcement, and carried out private revenge. So far, thirteen employees of the Kayul Company have died. The owner of Mino Island is unable to suppress the situation and is urgently seeking help." Yalin sent an electronic form to Geoso's file processor, and then said, "Also, they found this."
He enlarged a picture, which showed a test tube filled with light green liquid. The color looked quite pleasing to the eye.
"What is this?" the Archon asked after looking at it for a moment. But in fact, he already had the answer in his mind.
As expected, Yalin said: "It is said that one strain of the Lambda virus is enough to destroy the Piqiu planet."
"Lambda..." Geoso whispered, then asked, "Has the Doctor been caught?"
"No." Yalin said respectfully: "The doctor and some of his cronies disappeared before the incident. The virus was placed on the doctor's desk, and anyone who came in could see it at a glance."
"So this is what he left behind on purpose?" Dakuka couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't this evidence of a crime? He left the evidence to us on purpose, what was he trying to do?"
"I heard that Kayul Company has introduced several scapegoats, and the doctor is the darkest one among them. Maybe he left evidence to use us to attack Kayul and avenge himself." Another person said naively.
Geoso frowned and looked at the reagent in the picture without saying anything.
He always felt that the person who left this tube of reagent wanted to say: "I can kill you at any time, but I didn't do it."
"Come on!" the Archon whispered.
