Chapter 60 The Last Barrier of the Spreading Virus
Fortunately, those scientists used to study Ertel in the laboratory located in the most advanced scientific research center in this country.

The outer wall of the laboratory there was specially modified. After the metal man broke through that laboratory, he was still confined in the research center.

The advanced place of this country is not only in the utilization of Etel energy, but their development of technology has been several centuries ahead of the world at that time.

While the metal man was running away, the blockade of the laboratory had also begun, and the metal man was confined in the research center.

This is also the key to those scientists who were able to lead the metal man to Eitel.

The specially made experimental outer wall effectively blocked the metal man's riot, but the crisis did not touch.

After the energy runaway in Etel, the scientists in Kanyat Kingdom discovered a very serious thing.

An unknown virus has swept across the people of Kanyat.

But this situation is only known to those scientists at the top of Kanyat, and they have not told other citizens.

They speculated that the virus was caused by a burst of Etel energy.

They use various means to solve these viruses. First of all, they are using a by-product of their research on Etel energy, an ability that has nothing to do with Etel.

They built an energy barrier outside the research center, which they hoped would keep Ertel's energy at bay.

However, the hazards of virus infection still exist, and they have not produced any specific agents that can eliminate or suppress this peculiar virus.

They found that their actions and thoughts became slow, and this virus did not only infect humans.

Animals and plants were also affected. Large areas of plants began to wither and decay, and animals began to become restless, and later became sluggish.

Even those mechanical products have been affected, and the operation of all domestic mechanical products has become stuck, and various problems have occurred frequently.

The citizens of Kanyat began to become a little restless, and they unanimously demanded to resume the use of Etel's energy as an energy source to drive mechanical products in the city.

They haven't noticed any abnormalities in their bodies until now, and even if some people have noticed, it's just a simple epidemic disease.

Kanyat's top scientists see a deeper danger, and if the harm posed by the virus is not addressed, their country may go extinct.

They finally decided to return to the scientific research center to find the real solution.

There is no picture of those scientists entering the scientific research center in the video, but one night in the outside world, a red light that illuminates the entire night radiates from the research center.

The red light swept across the entire Kanyat country in an instant, and all people and objects turned into metal the moment they were illuminated.

That's the end of the video too, that's why the country is what it is now.

But Hughes, who watched the entire video, was surprised how Manxiu survived.

While Manshew said he transformed himself into a cyborg in order to survive, the cyborg in the video was also affected by that red light and turned into metal.

Manxiu has no reason to survive. The red light not only illuminates the country, but also affects people hiding in the house.

At that time, the only place where it was possible to survive was in that scientific research center.

In other words, before the disaster, Manxiu was inside the scientific research center.

"People are still defeated by their own desires after all." Manxiu said with a sad face.

Hughes didn't say anything. There were too many doubts about Manxiu's identity.

"Manxiu, if you follow the content in the video, how can this country still drift on the sea? Shouldn't all the machinery be transformed into metal?"

"Oh! Are you talking about the engine system inside the iron wall? I repaired it all by myself!" Manxiu looked at Hughes proudly, "Not only the engine that drives this country, but also the engine that produces the mist. I also built the factory by myself!"

"you alone?"

"Well! I have been doing this for 600 years. Didn't I say that I have a mission that must be completed?"

Manxiu stood up and looked at a light yellow energy barrier in the distance, "I want to completely eliminate that metal virus by myself!"

"Oh! That's really a great mission."

Hughes looked at Manxiu, "Then how are you doing now? In 600 years, there should be something researched."

"..."

"I already know that this virus does not spread by sea, so as long as no one is near this country, this virus will not harm the whole world!"

"Really, what about the others, do you know the truth about this virus? Do you know how to solve this virus?"

"..."

"This, this..." Manxiu dodged his eyes, but he didn't answer Hughes.

"..." Hughes looked at Manxiu, "You really don't know anything about this virus for 600 years."

"Who said that! I have discovered something that can cure this virus!"

"Heh, don't tell me that it was the herb I brought."

"..."

"Okay, let's get out of the car without talking, this is my home." Manxiu hurriedly returned to the car from the roof, and a slide stretched from the door to the ground.

While Hughes was looking at the history of the country's decline, Manxiu's car was driving automatically, returning to Manxiu's residence.

Seeing Manxiu's stiff change of subject, Hughes didn't say anything. Now he was a little curious that Manxiu's car could still drive automatically.

Hughes bent down and looked into the car. There was no one in it, only various dense buttons and displays, and various advanced equipment.

There are some things that even Hughes doesn't know what they are for, but they seem to know they are very advanced.

"It can still drive automatically, and the engine that can propel this country..." Hughes' eyes flashed an inexplicable light.

Hughes jumped out of the car and stood beside Manxiu, in front of him was a huge light yellow semi-circular barrier.

"Is this the barrier created by those scientists to isolate Etel's energy?"

On the pale yellow barrier, there is still a steady stream of energy flowing, and there is no sign of being affected by time at all. The barrier extends from the ground, like an upside-down bowl, covering the ground.

Hughes guessed that this energy barrier should have the same structure on the ground.

"Well, this barrier can still function even when disaster strikes."

"Where does the energy for this barrier come from? After all, it has been in operation for 600 years. Without infinite energy, how does it maintain it?"

"In fact, the current energy of the barrier also comes from Etel. Since the disaster, the energy originally supplied to the barrier has been forcibly replaced by Etel."

Manxiu walked to the barrier, slowly raised his hand to touch the barrier, but finally stopped in front of the barrier.

"This barrier is now the weapon used by Eitel to protect himself, and no one can cross this barrier to approach it."

"Really, the prison that was used to hold it was finally used to protect itself." Hughes looked at the barrier thoughtfully.

I am afraid that the action planned by those scientists against Eitel had a great impact on Eitel.

So big that it can only defend itself with the weapons of its opponents.

"Over there is my home." Manxiu came to Hughes, and he pointed to a house built not far from the barrier and introduced to Hughes.

It was a building that was much larger than a football field. It was more appropriate to call it a factory than a home.
