Andrew raised his mug again, "Cheers!"
Sackcloth Visitor raised his mug and chugged down the full mug of ale.
Henry just sat there and didn't touch his mug.
Andrew shook his head. He raised his mug to Sackcloth Visitor and finished his ale.
He continued after the drink, "The reason there haven't been countries working on exploiting resources from the reclusive locations is that they are unable to do so. During the last thousands of years, Alvin League has been setting up labs in those locations to conduct their gene experiments. At first, the method was rudimentary and repulsive. It was basically bestiality, and the success rate was near zero. Later on, after the creation of biogenetic technology, Alvin League's experiments started to conduct on a greater scale, which caused all the troubles we are facing now."
Henry looked up and asked, "They produced too many samples for them to handle?"
"Something like that."
Andrew nodded, "Alvin League's experiments contain too many uncontrollable factors. In the end, they lost control over a large number of their samples. Their solution was to abandon the lab along with the reclusive location where there were too many dangerous samples on the loose. Because of the interference of Spiritual Stone, modern weaponry and machinery couldn't function in those locations. That's the reason none of the countries are able to get their hands on the natural resources."
Henry lost in his thoughts.
Andrew depicted a new situation to Henry. Not even a master who had reached Qi-controlling Realm was able to survive in one of the abandoned locations. No one could imagine what kind of monsters were running free there.
Andrew refilled his drink, "Because of crustal movement, many locations like ours are no longer exist. But a bunch of new ones emerged. You should have noticed that there are many new locations have emerged in Yan Xia. Section Nine's underground palace is one of them. They are lucky that their underground palace doesn't have one of Alvin League's experiment samples. Imagine this, if one day there is a new location emerges under one of the major metropolitans, and Alvin League happens to set up a lab and abandoned it there, a lot of monsters they have created would swarm above the ground, then it would be an apocalypse."
"Alvin League wouldn't abandon their lab unless their experiment samples were causing uncontrollable damaging effects."
Henry took a deep breath and said, "I don't understand."
Andrew stared at Henry, "What don't you understand?"
"Why are you telling me this?"
Henry stared at Andrew with confusion, "Do you think I'm an altruistic person?"
"Or someone who has a reason to care?"
