The four of them went up to the cafe on the upper podium floor to discuss the details of the agreement. The podium floor had an alfresco dining area on its deck, which gave a nice view of the village.

They sat there with their orders (tea and snacks) and enjoyed the nice breeze at that height, listening to the rustles of leaves of the potted plants and the distant sound of activities on the ground level.

"Medussa’s already checking the blood and skin samples now," she said, sipping her nice lavender and chamomile tea mix. "I told the testing team to prioritize it so we should get a preliminary analysis within an hour or two."

"So quick?"

"Yes," she said. "Of course, we can’t say how useful the findings would be."

Their massive computers and equipment had advanced in the past couple of months. It was nothing compared to Terran technology a hundred years ago, but it was still miles ahead from what they had here—at least in terms of scientific achievements.

There were already two Tori copies in their lab, though their size was as big as a small room. One of the next projects was to create handheld versions like her Tori, but they still lacked the metals and minerals needed to do so.

In any case, even if they did find the composition of the body, it was no guarantee they’d be able to do anything about it. According to the information, the Undead were Foreigners like they were, and they could very much have completely different makeup from what they knew.

However, Medussa’s arrival an hour later proved otherwise.

"Want to go," Medussa said as soon as she returned from her tests.

The others were confused but Althea, who had been working with her for the past few months, had an idea what she was talking about. "You mean where those Undead are?"

The woman nodded.

"What did you find out?"

"Radiation," she said, with a very smooth tone. Obviously, the subject was quite close to her heart.

"What?"

"A lot of radiation," Medussa repeated. "Like… alpha radiation, but denser."

This confused the aborigines very much. "What is radiation?"

Althea thought for a moment to explain it in layman’s terms. "Think of it as poisonous air—just being near it could get you poisoned."

"What?!" Sienna gasped, feeling cold at what was in her space. While they knew long-term exposure wasn’t good, they didn’t know it was that bad!

They were all pale. Did that mean they exposed the baby, too?

"I don’t think it travels so far," Althea said. As someone who felt the surrounding elements by habit, she didn’t feel anomalies in the room, only on the corpse.

Besides, Medussa said it was similar to Alpha radiation which was the heavier type, and it wasn’t a surprise it didn’t spread out too much. On the contrary, it seemed like it didn’t spread at all.

It was like the radiation was stuck on the Undead’s bodies as if it had integrated into them. To compare, it was as if their specific body type had a special gravity to the phenomenon.
