Similar questions weren't unique to Lina.
It also exists in the minds of TPC members around the world who are searching for and destroying the Flower of Zijra.
If it weren't for the world's top botanists announcing that this seemingly ordinary plant doesn't exist in the current Earth's ecosystem, most TPC members probably wouldn't have paid any attention to it.
"It's only more dangerous than the information describes!"
He nodded without hesitation, because Daigo knew who had written the information.
You can doubt Lu Xuan's reliability, you can question Lu Xuan's arrogance and conceit, but you cannot ignore the data he provides.
Especially when it comes to those ancient returnees, Daigo understands the seriousness of the matter better than anyone else.
"Dagu..."
He glanced hesitantly at the confident Daigo, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lina, who had already sensed something, shook her head gently and didn't press the matter further.
Just as Daigo absolutely trusted the information and intelligence provided by Lu Xuan, Lina never doubted Daigo's judgment.
"Daigo, do you really think that if we keep searching like this, we can completely eradicate the threat of the Flower of Zigera?"
Ancient humans spread the seeds of the "Chijera Flower" across the globe.
All TPC could do was follow closely behind them, searching for the seeds that had been sown.
Over time, there will always be omissions, which is almost inevitable.
"In any case, this is the only thing we can do right now."
Knowing this as well, Daigo's eyes were filled with anger.
He hated this feeling of powerlessness, this feeling of knowing danger was about to happen but being unable to do anything about it.
Moreover, as time went on, Daigo was able to feel more and more clearly the restlessness and unease coming from humanity and from the Earth.
This ability to empathize with all things increasingly influenced Daigo's emotions.
Lina realized this, which is why she took the initiative to team up with Daigo in an attempt to soothe his increasingly irritable emotions.
Daigo, you didn't have to carry so much on your own...
With this thought flashing through her mind, Lina stopped dwelling on the issue and quickly changed the subject.
"Daigo, what do you think Shinjo is doing right now?"
"Has he successfully passed the screening and begun carrying out classified missions?"
While the Victory Team and TPC Global Division were busy destroying the Zijera Flower.
Xincheng, however, was directly appointed by higher-ups to participate in a classified mission project.
Because of the high level of secrecy surrounding this classified project, even within TPC, only Captain Kijima and Commander Munakata knew a few details.
"Although Shin-chan is usually unreliable, his professional skills are beyond doubt."
"If he can't pass the screening, then probably no one will be able to carry out that classified mission."
As expected, Daigo's attention was diverted by Rena, and he showed great trust in Shinjo's abilities.
After all, when it comes to understanding Shinjo, probably no one on the entire Victory team has as deep an understanding as Daigo.
They train, compete, rival, and break records together on weekdays, and often appear on the front lines together in times of emergency.
Daigo's trust in Shinjo's abilities was second only to that of Lu Xuan when no plan was being made.
Is this what male friendship is all about?
Lina gave a faint smile and teased calmly.
"No, this is a promise between men!"
Daigo laughed as well, decisively denying Rena's statement.
"Within the Victory team, and even within the entire TPC, both Shinjo and I have top-notch physical abilities."
"He already eliminated me during the internal testing. If I still can't successfully participate in the classified mission, then it would be a shame to let down my sacrifice!"
Lina was naturally aware of Shinjo and Daigo's almost inhuman physical constitution.
These two people have such incredible physical abilities.
On the one hand, it was due to the devilish competitive nature of both sides, and on the other hand, it was also thanks to the various advanced instruments provided by the Galvin Group.
From training devices to training programs, from medical instruments to drug treatments...
The Galvin Group's series of measures and preparations were clearly aimed at enabling the two to break through human limits.
It is no exaggeration to say that the training expenses that the Galvin Group spent on the two individuals were enough to support the rise of a poor, small country.
"The Gavin Group has been very kind to you... no, to be precise, to you!"
“I think if the Victory Team ever disbands, you might be able to convince the Galvin Group to take us all in.”
Although Lina's words were somewhat joking, they were stating a fact.
The Galvin Group's attention to Daigo has reached an almost exaggerated level.
"Ahem, that's because I once saved their CEO's life..."
Daigo grinned awkwardly, and his clumsy explanation naturally elicited another faint smile from Lina.
"I didn't say anything, you don't need to explain to me in such a hurry."

Chapter 638 The Path of Human Evolution
Just as the Victory Team and TPC members were destroying the Zijera Flower globally.
At the Terranoyde base in South America, New City is also enduring inhuman torture time and time again.
"what!"
Lying inside a specially designed nutrient tank, intense electric light surged into Xincheng's body along with the nutrient solution.
Whenever a bolt of lightning appears, Xincheng would let out a terrible scream because he couldn't bear the intense pain.
This cycle continued until the new city reached its limit, at which point the electric lights gradually dissipated.
"Still not working?"
Looking at the various indicators on the screen, Masaki Keigo asked somewhat unwillingly.
"No, his physical abilities have reached the threshold of evolution, but his mental abilities still seem to be lacking..."
Standing next to Masaki Keigo, Dr. Nezu, who had joined the team as an "outsider," shook his head helplessly.
Now that he had been assigned to this base, Dr. Nezu naturally chose to cultivate a good relationship with his superior, Masaki Keigo.
At the same time, Dr. Nezu was also curious about how far human research on the giant statues had progressed.
Through this period of observation and analysis, Dr. Nezu has basically determined that humans possess all the abilities to awaken the giant statue.
For some reason, whenever the team tried to awaken the giant statue, they always failed to do so for various reasons.
On this point, Masaki Keigo, as the leader of the entire team, seemed to know something.
Unfortunately, this brilliant scientist clearly had no intention of sharing his secrets with TPC, which caused the experiment to be stuck at the final step.
Until half a month ago, when monsters and demons from all over the world began to revive, Masaki Keigo began to show some responsibility as the leader of the team.
"Actually, could we consider finding a different 'suitable candidate'?"
"While Tetsuo Shinjo's physical abilities are certainly outstanding, the others selected by TPC also possess extremely excellent qualities."
This is something that Dr. Nezu finds difficult to understand.
Masaki Keigo seems to have a particularly high opinion of Shinjo Tetsuo, and even goes so far as to defy public opinion and forcefully demand that he become the "suitable candidate" for the giant statue.
“Now that I’m in charge of this project, it’s up to me to decide who the ‘suitable candidate’ is.”
"If you think there's something wrong with my research direction, you can report me to the TPC. I'd really like to see them remove me from my position."
Masaki Keigo glanced calmly at Dr. Nezu, and as always, did not offer any explanation.
"No, I didn't mean that."
Dr. Nezu looked up with a wry smile and quickly began to explain.
"What I mean is, we might prepare more backup candidates, so at least we won't be criticized by the higher-ups."
To be honest, Dr. Nezu could understand Masaki Keigo's arrogance.
Because twenty years ago, I was just as arrogant and looked down on those "insects" who only knew how to fight for power.
However, after more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Nezu is no longer the pure scientist he once was.
Rather than going all in and forging ahead recklessly, Dr. Nezu's experience told him that it was always better to have an alternative plan and make extra preparations.
"Xincheng is the best candidate."
Too lazy to argue with Dr. Nezu any longer, Masaki Keigo shut down all of his arguments with a single sentence.
"The problem now is, how do we turn him into 'light'?"
As he said this, Masaki Keigo's gaze shifted to the super-large "light particle converter" beside him.
"This has exceeded our capabilities..."
"The possibility that Zlda gas can cause biological mutations is only a theoretical possibility."
"Apart from Sila, there is no evidence that this 'mutation' is a benign evolution rather than a malign aberration."
Dr. Nezu has a deep understanding of this.
Because he himself was one of the victims of Zelda gas, and clearly mutated in the direction of malignant aberration.
"Then arrest Sila and use her as reference data."
Masaki Keigo's claim was clearly unreliable, so Dr. Nezu simply ignored it.
After all, it was a monster, and one that clearly possessed the ability to be "immortal".
Given the global resurgence of demons, it's already quite remarkable that it hasn't come out to cause trouble; TPC simply wouldn't provoke it.
......................................................................................................
Meanwhile, near an ancient underground city in South America.
"If there were a ranking of how reckless you are, you guys would definitely be number one in the world."
Staring at the area shrouded in darkness, Ryan turned and launched into a sharp critique.
In response, Lucia and Zara simply lowered their heads awkwardly, not daring to utter a single rebuttal.
Only Xuena rolled her eyes without any politeness.
"I was just investigating the legend of the 'origin of vampires,' who knew that a real demon god would appear here?"
Following the gaze of the four, the vampire god Shuranos, who had appeared in this area half a month ago, was still accumulating power.
His vampires became the rulers of this darkness, hunting down nearby creatures with madness.
To be honest, if it weren't for the vampire god Hyranos consciously restricting the range of movement of his followers...
The sheer danger these vampires pose will immediately draw the attention of the TPC.
Unfortunately, TPC is currently busy eliminating other more dangerous demons and monsters, as well as searching for the Zijera Flowers planted by the ancient humans, and does not have the energy to deal with the vampire demon, Shuranos, for the time being.
"Is that the guy we're going to deal with this time?"
Suddenly, Sanada Ryosuke appeared quietly behind the four of them and asked in a low voice.
Since Saki's mysterious disappearance, the Extraterrestrial Alliance has been in chaos, and its work efficiency has dropped significantly.
If Kirino Makio hadn't taken over the management of the Extraterrestrial Alliance in time, Sanada Ryosuke and the others might not have been able to find the time to deal with the current crisis.
“I’ve checked the local records, and this should be the only demon god in the vicinity that has been awakened.”
Nodding in affirmation of Ryosuke Sanada's question, Ryan, unsurprised by the other's elusive nature, began to explain.
"I have already applied for a team of 100 'cyborg warriors'..."
"We don't need to deal with the ordinary vampires; we just need to focus on dealing with that vampire monster."
