Since the meat had returned to normal after it was brought back, it was only natural to completely dismantle this fish.
But Mo Qiong didn't believe that the characteristic could be erased just like that.
Abnormal characteristics couldn't be erased that easily. Characteristics that could be erased were few and far between, and those that could have been erased by the Society long ago.
Because of that, Mo Qiong found it hard to believe that the anomaly in front of him could be erased as long as it was destroyed.
If it could be erased so easily, would the Society still use it as a training exercise?
When they first took it in, they would have already destroyed it, so why would it still be here today?
"Captain, be careful. Do you believe that abnormal characteristics can be erased?" Mo Qiong reminded them through the mic.
Chris chuckled: "Of course I don't believe in erasing, but containment of anomalies is a very common thing"
"After all, not all anomalies are invulnerable, they can still be destroyed or even destroyed. But why do we always say that anomalies are hard to destroy? Because even if they're destroyed, their abnormal characteristics might still remain. Even if they're destroyed, they might suddenly reappear without any changes "
"However, if its effect is temporarily weakened or paused after being destroyed, then the attack would become a means of suppression … Mo Qiong, there are too many anomalies that have been suppressed to this day through continuous attacks" Ye Ci sighed and continued to explain.
"I don't think the forced sneeze domain has been erased. Perhaps these threads will suddenly reassemble at some point and turn back into the giant catfish. But at least for now, the forced domain has disappeared, which means we've found a way to contain it. Which is to constantly stop it from regenerating, or rather, destroy it as soon as it reappears "Mo Qiong understood.
This was similar to a wax figurine. The method of containment for wax figurines was to directly put them into a furnace, where they would be melted as soon as they split apart, leaving only the original body behind. Any additional ones would be melted, and their numbers would be forever suppressed.
"Is that so?" Mo Qiong watched as several members went to collect the broken pieces of the catfish and placed them into a transparent reinforced glass box.
"Of course, if these seemingly normal threads suddenly become alive again, we'll destroy them again" Chris said.
Mo Qiong grinned. That wasn't the main point, the main point was that this fish might not be an anomaly at all.
But Chris didn't know that Mo Qiong was the only one who saw that, so Chris was still trying to explain the difference between containment and erasure.
He hurriedly said: "About that …"
Chris continued: "I know what you're worried about. Yes, this is very dangerous, which is why I didn't send everyone, three people is enough to collect the remains. I will never let everyone face the same situation in an operation. In this way, even if this method is wrong, we will still receive new information while paying the price. Then, we can correct it immediately and start a new plan. "
"Yes, yes, yes …" Mo Qiong sighed. "But … I saw a very elastic ball of fur fall from the fish's stomach. I don't think it's an internal organ. ..........................
"…" Chris was silent.
Before he could say anything, Mo Qiong added, "I think the furball is the anomaly. It was it that turned the catfish into this. Or rather, the catfish swallowed it in the lake and turned it from a normal creature into a living lump of wool."
"All animals will be forced to sneeze in the domain, but this one is an exception. That's because it's no longer an animal. It doesn't even have the characteristics of a living creature, other than the fact that it can move"
"Since it can move, it obviously doesn't count as a forced sneeze, or else the drones would've sneezed as well"
"Can we assume that when a living creature swallows it or comes into contact with it, it will be turned into a creature made of threads? By maintaining this contact, the living creature will be able to survive even if the material of its body has changed "
Mo Qiong wasn't the only one who thought of this, Chris also thought of this.
He was actually more experienced than Mo Qiong, but he didn't notice that ball of thread at all.
"You saw that thing … Why didn't you say so earlier!" Chris instantly understood everything and exclaimed.
"I told you!" Mo Qiong was speechless.
Chris remembered Mo Qiong saying that, but the fish was covered in threads, so it was normal for a ball of thread to drop out. He didn't see it with his own eyes, so he naturally thought that it was the internal organs of the fish.
"Quick, come back first!" Chris hurriedly called Alissanda and the others back while he chased the goats away.
"Yes … Achoo!" The conversation between the two was heard by everyone in the channel. After Chris gave the order, the team member was about to run back when he suddenly sneezed.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat. They didn't think that it was just a normal sneeze.
"Oh no, that territory appeared again … Achoo!" The one who spoke was another team member. At this moment, he also suddenly sneezed.
As expected, they were one step too late. The invisible territory enveloped them.
However, Alissanda was still running. It seemed that the territory hadn't caught up with him yet.
"No! Alissanda! Go back! Jump into the lake and bring it out for me! " Seeing that Alissanda wasn't hit and could've run back, Chris told him to run back and jump into the lake.
"What kind of joke is this?" Mo Qiong was shocked. The territory was obviously expanding again, and two team members had already been hit. Why did he still want Alissanda to go in?
Chris growled, "Quick! I will drag you out! "
Alissanda gritted his teeth. With the lasso on his body, he turned around and rushed into the territory. As he sneezed, he jumped into the lake.
"Why?" Mo Qiong asked.
"We broke the catfish and made the territory disappear temporarily. Have you thought about that?" Chris said.
"Because the parasitized catfish broke … Uh …" This was indeed something that Mo Qiong couldn't figure out.
Chris said, "Furry is the anomaly. It's the one that's spreading the territory, not the catfish. The catfish is just a box that contains the radiation source. The catfish's abnormality is because it swallowed Furry. The fragment that we extracted is completely normal because it broke away from the anomaly. "
"When the territory disappeared, the only thing we did was to break the catfish. Based on what you said, it was actually Furry leaving the catfish that caused the territory to disappear. Although we don't know why, this is a judgment. Otherwise, the radiation source wouldn't have shrunk back just because the box was broken. I believe that even if we kept the catfish's body intact and took out Furry, the territory would still disappear. "
"No, it didn't disappear. It was refreshed. The forced sneeze territory is just starting to expand again … "
Previously, they could clearly get close to that place and everyone was fine, but then the territory started to expand again. It was obvious that after leaving the host, the territory's territory started to expand from the size of Furry.
If that was the case, they could design a way to contain it. That was to let creatures continuously swallow it and wait until the territory's territory expanded to a certain extent. Then, like harvesting wheat, they could take it out and let it reset its territory.
The most dangerous thing about it was its expansion. As long as they could expand its territory, they could make it go back to zero and start from scratch.
Then, it wouldn't be a threat, because its danger would always be in the bud.
"If it can reset its territory after leaving the host, then what if there's no host? How do we reset it?" Chris asked.
"There should be a way, I don't know …" Mo Qiong understood what Chris meant. If Furry wasn't swallowed by an animal, it wouldn't be able to complete the judgment and reset, and the result would be … it would expand without limit until someone swallowed it and spat it out. Then, a new cycle would begin.
It was in the lake, and everything that entered the territory's territory would sneeze to death. If they didn't take it out and stuff it into an animal's body while the territory was still small, it would be difficult to do so when the territory expanded.
Because no animal would be able to walk to it alive.
Perhaps there was another way, or perhaps this was just a thought, but there was no other choice.
"It's not him! Haven't you read my information? "Mo Qiong said.
"Hmm?" Chris was stunned.
But Mo Qiong didn't have time to talk. He jumped down from a height of 2000 meters.
"Xiu!"
"Splash!"
A figure fell from the sky and plunged into the water.
"Achoo!" Mo Qiong couldn't help but sneeze. But he wouldn't drown. Even though water was constantly being sucked into his lungs, with the Deep One's characteristic, as long as he was in the water, he wouldn't drown. Just like in that dream, no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn't die.
On the other hand, Alexander wouldn't be able to complete this mission.
And because he was in the water, he had no choice but to swim. His paddling intensified the damage to his chest and nasal cavity, and the sneezing sounds became louder.
How could he hold his breath when he was forced to sneeze? It was as if he was forced to inhale in the water, then forcefully exhale, then inhale again …
But he would die faster. If he didn't leave the range, he would choke to death.
At this moment, he was almost in shock. He was still sneezing in his half-conscious state.
Chris also saw that he couldn't hold on any longer. He immediately pulled the lasso, trying to pull Alexander back.
"Air Cannon!"
Mo Qiong felt that the pulling was too slow. He directly threw him out of the water and fired an Air Cannon into the distance.
This was truly a powerful thrust. Alexander flew more than 10 meters in the air before landing. Then, Chris and the others pulled the lasso and pulled him to a safe distance.
Out of the range, Alexander immediately stopped. Everyone quickly gave him first aid.
"Cough cough cough …" Mo Qiong endured the pain in his chest and dived to the bottom of the lake to search for the furball.
When he brought the anomaly ashore, his nose and mouth were violently spraying water. An immense tearing pain assaulted him.
Even though he wouldn't drown, he would still be injured under the continuous sneezing. There was still a possibility that his brain artery would rupture and he would die.
Now that he was out of the water, the pain of choking came as well. He couldn't move at all. He was lying on the ground twitching.
At the same time, Waveshift's injured voice came from the earpiece. "Alexander is dead …"
"Mo Qiong is dead …"
"Dead my ass … save me!"
Mo Qiong spat out the lake water and liquefied natural gas from his mouth and nose. His nose, mouth, and even ears were spewing out white gas. It was as if smoke was coming out of his seven orifices.
