Seeing the effects of He Yueyin's gunshot, Cat Eyes was truly shocked. "Are you a mage?"
Luo Nan shouted, "The enemy has cut off the wiring within the wall... It's guiding the electricity!"
Before Luo Nan's voice fell, the leaping electrical fire had already covered the entire area of mucus. The dense bacterial strains on the surface instantly began to grow crazily, causing the mucus area to be like boiling porridge. Bubbles rose one after the other.
Half a second later, a grayish-white shadow the size of two knuckles pounced out of one of the "bubbles" that exploded.
Cat Eyes' mental senses were not given for nothing. She immediately confirmed the species of the target that had suddenly appeared.
"Rats!"
With the appearance of the first rat came a string of similar short living creatures. They came in an unending stream, seemingly endless and inexplicably strange … … They were small in size but they shouldn't be things that could be concealed by a layer of mucus!
Many of them were flesh-colored larvae within the spreading rat swarm. But after staggering a few steps, their fur gradually grew and their skin turned gray. Their exceptionally sharp incisors flickered with a cold light. Squeaking sounds interweaved with ear-piercing alarm bells, making one's scalp go numb.
Cat Eyes looked as if she was watching a clumsy sci-fi drama. "After these bacterial strains mature, they directly breed rats? How many links are there in the middle...? What about nutrition? What about energy? "
"Guiding electricity. Absorbing energy and transforming it."
He Yueyin found an explanation. It might not be correct but there was no need to get to the bottom of things at this time. More importantly, the enemy spawned this rat swarm. What were they trying to do?
Soon, the movements of the rat tide became clear. They didn't launch an assault. Instead, they scattered and fled in all directions after touching the ground. There were rats in every direction and their movements were swift and nimble.
The three were stunned for a moment. He Yueyin was the first to react. "Gene samples!"
The answer was a bit jumpy, but Luo Nan and Cat Eyes understood in an instant. Since Little You was in charge of collecting inferior genes, perhaps he had already obtained some results and was carrying them with him. Now that the clone clone had collapsed and the mission was interrupted, the early gains were at risk of becoming a wedding dress for others. Of course, they had to try to cut their losses.
Luo Nan and the others were not too clear on how the enemy carried the gene samples through the rats. But they destroyed whatever the enemy did. Such a train of thought was most likely correct.
Luo Nan's train of thought was clear, and he discovered a few new circumstances: "Some of them passed through the cracks in the wall!"
Originally, with the degree of cracks in the wall, the rats wouldn't be able to pass through, but these catalyzed "Clone Bombs" showed corresponding capabilities. The young rats in front of them that had yet to fully grow exploded. After a few waves of explosions, they forcefully widened the crack and opened up a path of flesh and blood, giving their brethren space to escape.
In this way, in front of the wall, behind the wall, and in every corner, there were shadows of rats leaping about. It made people dizzy, and they couldn't even count the number for a while …
"Boom!"
The loud bang and the explosion happened at the same time on the cracked wall. The side wall of the reinforced concrete instantly broke open. Gravel flew everywhere and dust flew everywhere. The rats that had just broken out were instantly crushed into pieces by such a powerful explosion.
The ugly meat patty that had been crawling along the wall was also hard pressed to escape. Its entire body was torn into several pieces, and its silver-gray body fluid sprayed out. But most of it evaporated into nothingness within the flames.
In the next moment, an exoskeleton armor strode in through the hole in the wall. It was painted with a special azure color like the sea, and it had a fully sealed helmet with multiple edges. It showed that this was a Deep Blue Walker. In a certain sense, it represented the highest combat power of an official soldier of the World Government. The one controlling the Deep Blue Walker was Gaud. After breaking through the wall, the distorted flames around his body spread out, covering the rat tide in all directions. He used the Format of Fire to deal fatal damage to these suspected carriers of the gene samples.
This was the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
Or perhaps it should be said that this was the embodiment of the importance of the reserve team.
He Yueyin had sent the two bodyguards to "drive" the car when they had just exited the elevator earlier. In fact, it was a code to activate the Deep Blue Walkers. The two former elite burners of the military were C rank at most in terms of their unarmored abilities. They could wear the Deep Blue Walkers, and part of their abilities could enter the B rank range. They were enough to hold their own.
He Yueyin didn't reveal her two trump cards even when she was fighting with Little You. It would be a lot easier to mobilize them now.
"Do a complete sweep. Collect. Don't let go of any body tissue." He Yueyin naturally raised the level of treatment once again after this incident.
Gaud acted according to his orders. Before the logistics team arrived, he would first do the cleaning. However, the situation just now was far too treacherous. It exceeded common sense. After he collected a few pieces of the ugly meat pie, he couldn't restrain himself for once. He took the initiative to ask in the mission channel:
"Vice President, is this a nest?"
"You've seen one before?"
"Yes. I've seen one when I was carrying out a mission in District 87. Later, I used the main laser cannon on the ship to eliminate it."
"District 87. That's a mature body."
"You're saying that what we see right now is a nest larva?" Cat Eyes was unwilling to be left out. She joined the discussion.
A nest?
Luo Nan actually knew the relevant general knowledge, but he had to wait for the others to expose it before he connected the theory with reality.
He cast his gaze toward the last remaining piece of meat pie on the ground. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, it would be very hard to imagine that this was the legendary factory that produced low-end Mutants. It was the fatal source of the genetic pollution of the Era of Distortion.
The so-called nest was something that only appeared in the middle of the Era of Distortion. It was said to be the product of the Earth's natural environment being completely distorted.
It was a deformed biological factory. It was like a methane pool of Mutant Nature. It gathered countless DNA fragments, causing them to collide and combine with each other to finally produce large amounts of Mutant creations.
The vast majority of these Nest Larvae possessed serious genetic defects when compared to the early Natural Mutants. Moreover, they would soon become food for the surrounding vicious beasts.
But it was in this form that the Mutant DNA fragments spread throughout the world like a plague. It was said that these DNA fragments had strong expressions and were very difficult to completely degrade. The powerful Mutants wouldn't be fatally affected, but it was like burying a ticking time bomb for the surviving normal birds and beasts and the vagrants of the wilderness.
Due to the rapid spread of large amounts of Mutant DNA, the world government had entered an active defense phase forty years after the Mutant Calamity. The species of Mutants throughout the world continued to rise without end. It had to be said that this was greatly related to the appearance of the Nest.
Moreover, no one was able to say for the time being what effect these large amounts of foreign genes would have under the current genetic background. But the academic community basically held a pessimistic attitude.
He Yueyin had asserted in class that the lingering poison brought by the Nest wouldn't be apparent to humans within one or two generations. But as the population continued to multiply, the Mutant DNA would play a more and more important role in the genetic process of the race.
This was, without a doubt, an era of genetic pollution.
Before the Third World War, there were approximately ten million species and a billion genes on Earth. But forty years after the war, not counting the Mutants, the number of native species had sharply decreased to 700,000. Over two-thirds of the genes could only be seen in the gene library.
It was also during these forty years that the government lost control over the wilderness, which led to the complete loss of control over gene flow and other phenomena. In many regions, foreign genes already occupied an absolute dominant position. This was tantamount to a historical extinction of a species.
Luo Nan recalled the knowledge he had learned and combined it with the situation that had just occurred. He spoke in a low voice, "This Nest … … It's artificial, right?"
"Artificial Nest? The Gene Exchange has this kind of technology. Let's create artificial wombs. With this kind of technology, he can forcefully enter the Star Alliance Committee. He'll be the leader of the world later. " Cat Eyes' words could be said to be in agreement, but not in agreement. She could be said to be refuting, but not refuting. She sounded a bit guilty and weak.
Facts speak louder than words.
Luo Nan 'personally witnessed' the information pathway from the polar domain pour relevant power and information into the closed bottle openings of his backpack. The relevant cell tissues were stimulated and mixed with each other. Then the ugly meat patty swelled and the rat horde was born. The entire process was bizarre but clear.
Clearly, the other party possessed methods and abilities that exceeded common sense. Otherwise, Luo Nan would have pulled He Yueyin and Cat Eyes along with him to attack.
The Deep Blue Walker under Gaud's control had already completed its initial harvesting in the long corridor that had already changed beyond recognition. It was walking over here. Luo Nan suddenly thought of something at this time. "Check Ji Qiong's bag as well. That Little You has also emptied his hands."
Gaud just happened to walk over to the bag. He picked it up when he heard Luo Nan's words, but he felt that something was wrong the moment he touched it.
The side of the bag that was pressed against the ground appeared quite damp. It had already been soaked with some sort of liquid. And there was a tiny crack on the corresponding ground. It should have been caused by the aftermath of He Yueyin and Little You's battle.
"There was absolutely no liquid leaking out just now!" Luo Nan was certain.
He had discovered that there was a problem with Little You's backpack, so he had also monitored Ji Qiong's backpack. He had been paying attention to the internal situation before the Rat Tide arrived. This was also when the Rat Tide erupted from the Nest. Luo Nan's entire attention was shifted over to determine the Rat Tide's formation pattern and escape trajectory … …
That's right. Something must have happened at that time!
Gaud tore open the bag in one go to confirm the situation inside. But Luo Nan didn't need to look to know: "One of the cosmetic bottles is broken. The others are all intact."
Luo Nan walked over there as he spoke. He Yueyin hesitated for a moment, but she didn't stop him. She quickly followed.
Was this a diversion, then the information was leaked and shifted?
Luo Nan pursed his lips. His expression was grim. He felt a bit embarrassed. Everything was clearly within his grasp. The other party didn't detect his observation at all, but they still used ruthless methods to play him.
Any opponent that came from the Polar Domain really couldn't be underestimated.
The building's security personnel and the Society's logistics team arrived at practically the same time at this time. After a short negotiation, the logistics team relied on the tiger skin of government authority to send the security personnel away. They quickly gathered over here.
Luo Nan stood next to the Deep Blue Walker, who was taller than him by half a body. He didn't look at the bag. He just stared at the crack on the ground. It seemed that he wanted to see flowers from within.
In reality, he had locked onto the soul strength that came from the Polar Domain. The other party was still lingering in the surrounding area. It seemed that he hadn't finished … … Fine. Actually, he was observing Luo Nan 'in secret'. He was probably very interested in Luo Nan.
