BXBX NOVEL Chapter 239 Apathetic Person
Chapter 239 Apathetic Person
Mary was analyzing the evolved Gilaso variant and was immersed in it.
However, the immersion was cut short when he heard a very familiar voice.
It was a voice that she doesn\'t really like, or more specifically, interact with.
"Ugh, what does Vanessa want?"
Pausing the recording, Mary clicked her tongue in annoyance when Vanessa called out once again after getting no responses.
Putting on the face mask, Mary exited through the back and glared at Vanessa.
"What do you want?" She asked irritatingly. "Can\'t you see I\'m busy with something if I didn\'t bother responding to you the first time?"
"Is your task more important than a new discovery of our current predicament?" Vanessa crossed her arms and retorted. As if she was willing to interact with her either, but Theobold and his soldiers were too occupied to do anything else at the moment.
With the arrival of Benedict and Phoebe, plus the possibility of two more military commanders, Theobold needed to remain here to hold the fort. And naturally, his soldiers had to be stationed to maintain the aura and appearance.
Thus, the only people that are still free and could do whatever they wanted were Mary and Shi Tian.
And considering the options, Vanessa ultimately decided to call for Mary and not Shi Tian.
That bastard still held no remorse for his action, and she was too lazy to waste her breath on an unreasonable person!
Meanwhile, Mary subtly retracted her hostility and kept a calm composure.
"Okay, what new discovery that requires you to knock on my Iron Sentinel\'s door so urgently?" She asked.
"It\'s regarding the evolved Gilaso variant corpse," Vanessa answered, giving her the same tone of speech.
"The corpse? What about the corpse?" Mary raised an eyebrow, seemingly confused.
"You didn\'t sense any abnormality on the corpse either?"
"Don\'t even talk about sense, I didn\'t even face it physically."
Mary was within the Iron Sentinel the whole time, giving instruction to the soldiers through a sound enhancer function. So how was she supposed to interact with the evolved Gilaso variant physically?
Realizing that Vanessa decided to give Mary a short but clear explanation regarding the strange energy shrouding the corpse.
A few minutes later, Mary was somewhat stunned as it was indeed a new discovery.
"The situation isn\'t looking bright then," Mary concluded.
"No really?" Vanessa rolled her eyes and responded sarcastically. "Damn, I totally wouldn\'t have known the situation wasn\'t looking bright and decided to come to you."
"Whatever bitch." Mary cursed and waved her hand. "You can leave now that you have given me the information already."
"Huh?" Vanessa was dumbfounded. Mary\'s response deviated from her expectations as she believed Mary would become curious and enquire more information.
But contrary to her expectation, it was quite clear that Mary had no interest in the strange energy discovery.
"Don\'t you want to ask why I came here and seek you out?" Vanessa asked in disbelief.
"No, because I\'m sure you wanted to bait me in with the information, then ask me to investigate along with you. But I\'m sure with Commander Theobold\'s protective nature, he would definitely ban you from leaving his sight to a dangerous area." Mary yawned, easily understanding her intention with a snap of a finger.
Stumped, Vanessa was unable to rebuke any of her claims.
\'What the hell is this? Why is Mary so similar to that bastard in terms of speech and actions?\' She cursed silently, finding the two people to be so similar.
"Don\'t you want this mess to end already, Mary?" Vanessa asked hastily, seeing that Mary was truly about to return to her Iron Sentinel.
Halting her footsteps, Mary turned around and nodded. "I want the mess to end already, but I\'m not the type to do this kind of work for free. Why should I investigate when there are militaries stationed here?"
"Is your mind all about profits?"
"Of course, who the hell would do this kind of work if the money wasn\'t paid well?" Mary shrugged her shoulders.
And she continued, "Listen, if you want others to investigate this supposedly strange energy, then what you should do is not inform me. But secretly spread this news around. Once it reaches the ears of those military commanders, I can bet you that they will be the first to rush ahead to gain that glory."
Vanessa squinted her eyes, clearly not expecting Mary\'s response would be like this.
In fact, Vanessa found Mary\'s suggestion to be amazing. She was right after all.
Why should she be concerned when she could easily manipulate others into doing it for her?
It wasn\'t like she was a hero or anything.
\'Wait a minute, did I just get infected by Mary\'s thinking?\' Vanessa thought to herself, wondering if she was slowly becoming an apathetic person.
Shaking her head, Vanessa decided to follow Mary\'s suggestion anyway, given that the best course of action was to involve the other military teams in investigating the strangeness.
With that in mind, Vanessa planned on divulging the plan to Theobold and informed him to start leaking out the information.
Meanwhile, Mary had already returned to the Iron Sentinel, her expression being solemn.
"Nathan, are you still working on the code?" She asked.
"Yeah, I\'m almost finished though." Shi Tian responded. "Anyway, why did Vanessa call for you though? Did something happen again?" he asked, seemingly curious about the situation.
Mary nodded her head, relaying the conversation to him.
A few minutes later, Shi Tian rubbed his chin, clearly in deep thoughts.
"A strange energy that caused the evolution huh. This is quite problematic then." Shi Tian muttered, having the same thought process as Vanessa.
Just one evolved Gilaso variant had provided quite the trouble, so what would happen if there were more evolved Gilaso variants appearing?
"Mhmm, I told Vanessa to subtly leak the news to the other military team but at the same time, we need to locate the dense area that the strange energy is coming out from. Since we\'re about to be the vanguard using drones, I wish to gather all the necessary information." Mary explained, sitting on the chair next to Shi Tian.
