Ding Junyi pushed a large petri dish on the table forward. Inside was a large mass of biological tissue, seemingly hardened and dehydrated.

They don't have the brain or heart structures we understand, yet the problem is, they clearly have the characteristics of carbon-based life forms."
"It's fortunate they're carbon-based life forms, so our weapons can still be effective," Lin Xian said.
