How could he not know that what William said was indeed true?

But so what?

For his own sake, for his family's sake, for the sake of his race, and for the sake of the continuation of the entire civilization, Peter had to ignore certain actions of those in power.

"Tell me, where is that red ball that can grant any wish hidden?"

They did not continue to argue with Peter about the issue.

William lowered his voice and asked in an almost hysterical tone.

"You know, that's our only hope!"

"Only by finding that red ball can we possibly stop the apocalypse!"

With William's roar echoing in his ears, Peter opened his eyes again and simply shook his head in a struggle.

"That's just a legend; there's no evidence to prove that the red ball actually exists..."

After a slight pause, Peter continued, emphasizing his point.

"Even this document cannot prove..."

"Perhaps that's just a collective delusion of those 'wishers'!"

The document in Peter's hand contains cases recounted to government departments by people who had seen or possessed the red ball, after losing it.

Because of the numerous contradictions within it, no one takes this information seriously.

"You knew perfectly well that it was true!"

"You can tell from the fact that the CIA marked this intelligence as top secret!"

"Besides, we've both realized the 'abnormality' of this world, haven't we?"

Some anger, some annoyance...

William never expected that Peter would still refuse to help him after seeing the information.

"This is all related to the Galvin Group!"

"It suddenly appeared nine months ago, and before that, no one knew what this group did."

"But since its emergence, new energy sources and prosthetic body modification technologies have been promoted on a large scale around the world, and incredible results have been achieved!"

"In just six months, body modification has become a product of everyday consumption..."

"High-ranking officials in various governments have even been able to turn people into non-human 'aliens,' capable of competing with those real 'biological apocalyptic disasters.'"

Seeing Peter still stubbornly refusing to listen, William continued to roar in a low voice.

"Don't you see it yet?"

"The Galvin Group is artificially creating the 'Bio-Size Day Disaster'! It is the real source of the potential world-destroying calamity!"

There was neither affirmation nor refutation...

Peter stared blankly at William, who was roaring across from him, and then suddenly pointed at William's mechanical arm and said.

"But you also accepted the cybernetic modifications from this company, didn't you?"

"It's not just you. Look around you, how many of the people there haven't modified their bodies?"

Peter's question stumped William, because he was simply stating a fact that had already been established.

"The Galvin Group may indeed be an 'anomaly,' and it may indeed be a 'doomsday disaster' existing in some form."

"But now we have no choice but to accept it obediently."

Before William could continue to refute, Peter changed the subject and continued.

"In your opinion, that red ball, whose existence is uncertain, might be the only way to save the world..."

"But in my opinion, that red ball may also be a 'doomsday disaster' in another form."

"Our world has seen too many 'abnormalities,' and what we insist on as 'normal' has become the most abnormal 'abnormality.'"

Ignoring William's angry expression, Peter went on to explain further.

"I don't care about any anomalies, I just want human civilization to continue..."

"Since the anomalies of the world cannot be changed, then adapting to these anomalies is the true way for human civilization to continue."

"The emergence of the Galvin Group has popularized new energy sources and prosthetic body modification technologies, allowing ordinary people to continue to survive in the face of frequent 'apocalyptic disasters'..."

"Then in my eyes, the Galvin Corporation is the savior of mankind!"

Chapter 479 The Myriad Aspects of Life Under the Doomsday

"..."

After a brief argument, there was a long silence that lasted for several minutes.

Because both William and Peter knew that what the other was saying was actually true.

In this era of frequent "doomsday disasters," only "doomsday disasters" can be used to combat them.

Therefore, regardless of the true nature of the Galvin Company and the red ball, they are both lifelines that humanity must grasp at.

In fact, this is also an important reason why two people with completely different stances appeared here at the same time.

Of course, such a private organization formed by the two cannot be compared with the official one.

In terms of both personnel numbers and intelligence, the two are still in a state of flux, like the blind men and the elephant.

The only reason the two men collaborated was their distrust of their own government's top brass.

"I'll continue to help you find clues about the red ball."

After a long silence, Peter was the first to speak.

"However, even if such a thing really exists, finding relevant clues is not an easy task."

"So don't get your hopes up too high. Let's look for other 'apocalyptic disasters' that we can use!"

Before William could refute, Peter dropped another bombshell that shocked him.

"According to the intelligence I have received, a massive, global 'spectacular apocalyptic disaster' may occur in the next two days."

“I know you’ve always been wary of Galvin, but when you get back, why don’t you buy some of their latest products?”

"In addition to mechanical prosthetics, the shell series shields, the civilian series enhanced suits, and the single-person flight devices that can only be used by individuals can all greatly enhance your survivability."

It's not hard to see from the types of these products that Gailvin has always been committed to strengthening the self-protection capabilities of ordinary people, enabling them to survive various "apocalyptic disasters".

Although this practice of placing hope in a particular group rather than the government seems so ridiculous and laughable.

But in the face of reality, this absurdity and ridiculousness have become the most sober understanding for many ordinary people.

Peter persuaded William not to be hostile to the Galvin Group because he had personally witnessed the company's various efforts to save ordinary people.

Even if it is ultimately proven that the Galvin Corporation is indeed a "doomsday disaster" existing in the form of a company.

But as long as they are still doing their best to save humanity, that is enough for Peter.

"Ha, this company is really hypocritical."

"They clearly possess the technology to create 'biological apocalyptic disasters,' yet they hypocritically only sell defensive and functional products."

"Even if we only convert a part of their production line into specialized lathes for producing weapons, we won't be so passive when facing the 'apocalyptic disaster'!"

Upon hearing Peter's persuasion, William, who had calmed down, became agitated once again.

William's family was attacked and even eaten by their alienated neighbors because of a mysterious "apocalyptic disaster".

Even William himself lost an arm in that "doomsday disaster".

William believed that if he had been armed with a Gailwin gas-powered compression cannon instead of those ineffective firearms, his family would not have been so defenseless.

"Those weapons are professional war machines, not something ordinary people like us can use."

Peter knew, of course, that some of the production lines of the Galvin Corporation around the world were dedicated to producing all sorts of powerful weapons for local governments.

Peter even learned that the Galvin Corporation provided many weapon design blueprints free of charge, helping the military establish a series of high-tech weapon production lines.

The problem is that those weapons are too functional and too lethal.

Even a child, once given those weapons, could single-handedly destroy half the city.

Not to mention, those weapons have no restrictions on their use and no safety measures whatsoever; even accidental contact could have devastating consequences.

"It's that same old excuse again. Do you think I'd believe it?"

William did not refute Peter's statement, but merely gave another mocking laugh.

"Compared to those so-called 'doomsday disasters,' ordinary people who take up arms are probably more frightening to you people!"

Upon hearing this, Peter frowned slightly.

Although it was known long ago that William was a typical conspiracy theorist and anarchist.

But he never imagined that after working together for so long, the other party would still show such strong distrust towards him.

Believe it or not, try your best to protect yourself!

Peter reached into his pocket and pulled out a knife hilt, placing it on the table in front of William.

"This is?"

William glanced at it with some surprise and clearly saw the Galvin Company logo on the hilt.

"This is the latest 'fluid knife' manufactured by Laboratory No. 37."

"Under normal circumstances, you can put this knife handle in any pocket on your person."

"Once you want to use it, you just need to press the button on the handle, and a sharp blade will naturally appear."

As Peter narrated, William tentatively pressed the logo on the hilt of the knife.

Sure enough, a fluid-like blade suddenly emerged from the tip, emitting a ghostly blue light.

"The blade of the 'fluid knife' is made of a special liquid metal that can conduct a special kind of bioenergy."

"Not to mention ordinary living organisms, even those 'phantom-type apocalyptic disasters' that are like ghosts can be cut down with this knife."

William stared intently at the fluid knife in his hand, as if he could sense a strange surge emanating from it.

"This knife... is it alive?"

William was not a martial arts master, but his years of experience fighting against "doomsday disasters" gave him extraordinary intuition.

As William gripped the knife, he clearly sensed the other person's emotions.

It was a very subtle feeling, but William was absolutely certain that it was not his imagination.

“That’s right, the raw materials used to make this knife came from a certain ‘phantom-type apocalyptic disaster’…”

"You are only using its melee mode right now."

"When necessary, the blade can be extended to its maximum length of twenty meters by rotating the handle."

"Because its blade is very light, even an ordinary person can easily wield that twenty-meter-long blade."

"A twenty-meter blade?"

William's eyes widened in surprise once again. He was somewhat eager to try, but ultimately decided not to test his knife in the tavern.

"So you've actually started researching the technology to artificially create 'apocalyptic disasters'."

Faced with an increasing number and frequency of doomsday disasters, studying and understanding these "doomsday disasters" has become almost a necessity.

Galvin was merely at the forefront of this era, but it was not the only researcher.

After all, while those apocalyptic disasters brought enormous crises to humanity, they also brought unimaginable opportunities to the world.

The scientists in this timeline aren't fools; they still retain the basic principle of "learning from the barbarians to control them."

"However, why is Laboratory Thirty-Seven researching mostly cold weapons?"
