Chapter 597 Confused

Polluter has 4 major components.

1. Arthropod body. Like most arthropods, polluters can adapt to most dangerous environments and terrains by twisting their arthropod bodies and crawling on multiple legs. Their outer skin is very hard, accompanied by many sharp bone spurs. Whenever When they flick their long tails, they make a frightening sound of creaking, visually and audibly destroying the enemy's will to resist.

2. In the toxin room, the polluter has a compound chamber full of deadly toxins. Viruses and fungi of different types and different material forms are produced and stored in different areas of the compound chamber. Whenever the polluter casts its command When people have the ability to fear, the toxins in these areas will be sprayed to the target location by the polluted person in the form of adjusting the pressure difference between the body and the outside under the control of the nervous system.

3. Absorption of raw materials. The polluter kills the Zerg unit, absorbs various microbial groups and nutrients, and transforms them into biochemical raw materials and various promoting enzymes for their own virus production.

Fourth, symbiotic life forms. The body of the polluter is filled with a large number of tiny organisms. They feed on the toxins and excrement released from the polluter's body, and under its command, they can fly to the designated area and create a living creature composed of tiny living insects. The dark cloud made it impossible for any troops outside the black cloud to accurately target the troops inside the black cloud.

The polluter costs 50 crystals, 150 gas, and occupies 2 population, which is much cheaper than the flying snake.

It has a total of 4 active skills, which are "destroy" --- devour Zerg individuals to increase their own energy; "Black Front" --- create black clouds of insects to weaken the combat effectiveness of long-range attack troops; "plague" ------Use corrosion spores to weaken the vitality of organic organisms and force invisible units to appear; "burrow" --- let polluters sneak into the ground to avoid attacks.

Passive skills include "Zerg Ground Unit Carapace Upgrade" and "Poison Room" which increases the energy limit.

It is worth mentioning that in the game mode, polluters, like flying snakes, do not have the ability to attack. Tang Fang does not think that they are the same in reality. The sharp bone spurs alone are enough for them to take down fragile humans.

In all fairness, the Defiler's skills are stronger than those of the Flying Snake, especially the existence of "Plague" and "Destroyer", but correspondingly, they need additional upgrades in the Scorpion Lair. The same goes for the passive skill "Toxin Room".

Select a worker bee and press the button to build a "scorpion nest". After about 5 seconds, the vesicle bursts and the building mutation is completed. Then, 4500 crystals and 4500 gas are spent to transform the "poison room", "digestion" and "plague lair" "Research the three skills again.

Since then. The biochemical strike team composed of the queen-infected-flying snake-polluter-explosive man finally took shape.

Then he turns his attention to real space,

Send out 3 firemen and ask them to use the flame injectors of destruction to clean up the virus-causing clouds that have not dissipated from the -18th floor to the -20th floor.

"It's that thing?"

He nodded sullenly.

The veteran's face also became extremely gloomy. I was really afraid of something, but there was not one freak, but a large group. Although they were repelled by Tang Fang's attack, this just showed how difficult they were.

Zhou Ai asked: "What should we do next?"

Tang Fang looked at the -21st floor for a while with the light of the flames sprayed by the fire bat, and said in a deep voice, "Go down and have a look."

On the surface, this incident was caused by an accident in the underground scientific research facilities, which caused terrorist creatures such as phagosome polymers. The government sent biological experts to deal with the aftermath after evacuating irrelevant personnel from the scientific research park. It's a pity that it didn't work, not only the biological experts were killed one after another, even the soldiers of the transport team were swallowed by the phagosome polymer. Form ugly monstrosities.

But he always felt that things were not that simple. If the phagosome polymer absorbs human genes to form a monstrosity, why would it spit out the virus-causing cloud released by Congreve's corpse after turning into a beast? There are no epic biological gene fragments in human genes.

"Then everyone be careful."

Now that Tang Fang has made a decision, Zhou Ai closes his head cover and concentrates on sensing the situation around him. In order to be able to discover the hidden crisis at the first time, to remind several people to prepare for battle.

Roy held the gun in his left hand. His right arm has been blackened, and he is ready to make a corresponding counterattack immediately in case of danger.

Aros said nothing. Dressed neatly, picked up the "c-14 piercer" and followed Tang Fang to the right.

Several firebats had already incinerated the deadly germs floating in the air. The scorching air swelled in the narrow corridor, and the ground was covered with gravel and rubble, as well as various body fluids that had been dried at high temperatures.

Tang Fang walked down the stairs step by step, and came to the entrance of the -21st floor, and gently pushed open the door that swayed back and forth.

Sparks splashed from the ceiling, making crackling noises. Occasionally, streaks of dim light lit up in the corridor, and a faint light diffused on the ground, shining on the broken glass, on the overturned instruments, and on the puddles of blood that had solidified.

A small fan was crooked at the place closest to the corridor, which was the culprit for shaking the corridor door.

Roy was slightly relieved, and followed Aros into the corridor, and Zhou Ai was in charge of breaking the back.

Tang Fang told a few people to turn on the lighting equipment, and summoned a stasis ball and a mechanical sentinel, using the watery light from the energy core to illuminate the nearby area.

In addition to scientific research equipment, glass slag, blood and other sundries on the ground of the corridor, you can occasionally see "Executioner" assault rifles made in the United Kingdom of Turanx, some broken in two, some bent, and some The body of the gun was covered with a thick layer of mucus.

He also found some traces of explosions, parts of the "Pilgrim" power armor, but no soldiers' bodies.

There is no doubt that they have become food for phagosomal aggregates.

Several people continued to move forward, and when they reached the middle area of ​​the corridor, there was a strange noise behind the broken glass wall on the left.

Aros turned the muzzle of the gun horizontally, and under the light, he saw a scrapped defense robot dumped on the ground, with only half of the caliber machine gun firing pin in his hand moving back and forth, presumably the identification friend or foe system was still working, and the intruder was found to be doing something. mechanical response.

Behind Roy pulled the trigger. Exploding the cpu of the defense robot, the harsh metal impact sound stopped abruptly.

The veteran glared at him.

"It gave me the creeps," Roy said.

If it was Bai Hao, he would definitely find other excuses, such as the noise would interfere with Ma Runjia's external sensors, or the noise could affect people's emotions in this environment. have a negative impact.

It's a pity that he is not Bai Hao, the copycat Alex?r has always been the most honest.

The veteran's face softened a lot, he nodded to him, and continued to push forward.

The water wave-like fluorescence emitted by the stagnant spherical core was spreading on the front road. The corridor and the scientific research laboratories on both sides were very "clean", and no trace of the freak was found. Only the reddish-brown blood on the ground and glass walls proved that there was a brutal battle here not long ago, and many people died.

Tang Fang stopped 20 meters away from the end of the corridor, turned around and entered a laboratory, walked to the central computer in the innermost computer room by stepping on broken glass, stood still, and turned off the "thermal vision" of the harsh environment protective clothing . By the light of the searchlight on the veteran's chest, plug the data cable into the universal interface.

Although the monitor of the computer was damaged in the battle just now, the main system is not seriously damaged, and the central processing unit and part of the database are still operating.

Soon, Emma passed a repaired and mutilated file to the auxiliary computer of the harsh environment suit.

Tang Fang browsed briefly, his brows raised upwards.

This incomplete document records the analysis data of the DNA fragments of the parasite, from the classification of the basic genetic material, to the composition, and then to the coding. There are extremely detailed annotations, and even the gene fragments of the Epsilon, general biological gene sequences, and human genetic material are clearly marked.

Things get more confusing.

If the underground facilities in this area were used to study parasites, then Congreve knew of their existence. Now that his scientific research team is studying parasites. It is very likely that the old Duke was accidentally infected without his knowledge, and then returned to "Aidia" to cause a series of disasters. At the same time, an accident occurred in the scientific research park of "Rulzan", which evolved into the current situation.

But why do computer data have traces of artificial deletion? Why are researchers doing this? And how did the phagosomal polymer come about? Isn't this a facility for studying parasites? How could there be phagosome aggregates?

Could it be that Congreve bought phagosome samples from the Reach Trading Company in "Babylon"? Or is it isolated from other epic biological tissue samples and cultivated independently?

Is there any relationship between the chaotic situation of "Aradelle" and the parasite incident? How did Sulbacho view the change of "Rulzan"?

All kinds of problems are like a layer of haze hanging over my heart. It bothered him immensely.

At this moment, the covert operation team sent to Congreve Palace sent a reply. Like most of the facilities in the West District, the palace was empty. Now that they have located the collection, the team is cracking the external security system.

Tang Fang thought for a moment, and decided to go to the -30th floor, because his intuition told him that what happened in the scientific research facility was not simple, and he needed to do some investigation.

According to Emma's analysis of the computer's past operation logs, the control center and central computer of the entire scientific research facility are located in the data room on the -30th floor.

The 4 people returned to the corridor and continued to walk down.

All the lights on the -22nd to -28th floors were turned off, and the corridor was completely dark.

Instead of checking inside like he did on the -21st floor, he led the three of them all the way down to the bottom -30th floor.

It was replaced by two fanatics who opened the way in front of them. The flame of the spiritual blade drove away the darkness in front of the door, directly cut the door into pieces, and entered the room.

Different from the configuration of the upper floors, the first entrance is an isolation room, and then there is a hall, which is equipped with a monitoring system and a command network. Behind the hall is the computer room, and the research data of the terminal computers on each floor will be synchronized to the database of a large quantum computer inside.

The emergency light in the isolation room illuminated the not-so-spacious room, reflecting blood red.

The zealots continued to destroy the door between the isolation room and the command hall, and entered the dark hall.

What is strange is that all the emergency lights in the command hall are all off, so dark that you can't see your fingers.

Just when Tang Fang smelled a hint of danger and frowned slightly, Zhou Ai grabbed him. Dao Sheng: "Wait a minute, there is something inside."

Suddenly, as if to confirm her words, there was a strange sound of something piercing the air from the innermost part of the room, and the fanatic subconsciously swung the psionic blade in front of his arm. Split the two clumps of green stuff in two.

There was only a puff, and a cloud of dark green liquid fell down, raining down on the plasma shield on the fanatic's body, making a teeth-piercing sound, and the strength of the shield was rapidly decreasing.

Tang Fang was startled, and quickly ordered the fanatics to attack the hidden enemies in the command hall. At the same time, a mechanical sentinel was put in and ordered to deploy the "Guardian's Shield" to protect the isolation room.

He didn't dare to take the risk of summoning Zerg units, even though they were more suitable for fighting in dark and cramped environments, because their combat effectiveness would be greatly suppressed when encountering phagocytic polymers. Unable to exert the fighting power that it should have.

After the Zealot, he threw 2 Flame Rangers, 2 Raiders, and a Predator into the hall to attack the place where the dark green liquid sac came from.

The light of the flames and the criss-crossing searchlights illuminate most of the room. The predator is like a sensitive night owl, jumping from one device after another, arriving at the place where the liquid sac flew almost at the same time as the fanatic.

Blood rose into the air and poured on the ceiling. Swept by the passing light, so eye-catching.

No screams, just explosions.

The fanatics were pushed back again and again by the shock wave. More and more liquid sacs were broken, and a layer of dark green coating was applied on the surface of the plasma shield, eroding the strength of the shield at an extremely fast speed.

Every swing of the predator's alloy claws would trigger an electric field, and countless bouncing arcs illuminated the gaps in the equipment, revealing one face after another, as well as their deformed arms.

Some are like morning glory. It will spray a dark green liquid sac, and the acid inside is strong enough to corrode the Zealot's plasma shield.

Some are like beating hearts. The hard beetles that can glide and turn are bred one after another, and the heavy power armor of the marauders and the flames are sparked.

There are suckers like octopuses. It can be stretched freely, wrapping around the body of the predator, preventing it from continuing to kill.

The flames and explosions shattered the command hall, and equipment parts and wreckage rolled to the ground.

A zealot was injured and sent into the system space by Tang Fang, and immediately entered the battlefield for 3 more.

A firebat's plasma tank was corroded by dark green acid, and then pierced by a small hard beetle, which exploded, causing a raider around him to fly upside down, hitting an electronic device and smashing a huge dent.

His expression was complicated, mainly of surprise, because through the eyes of the fanatics, he could clearly see the right arms of those people, as well as the corpse explosion triggered after death.

This reminded him of the scene he had experienced before. A few months ago at the Ankalim space station in "Babylon", Charlotte Quinn was attacked by terrorists, and the attackers were exactly the same as the enemy in front of him...Of course, at that time Their right arm has only one ability, which is the ability to spray liquid sacs.

He called them the "Brotherhood" because all the terrorists had the same face and size, and he suspected they were a kind of clone.

But the enemies I encountered today are a bit different from the members of the "Brotherhood". They have different appearances, and the changes in their right arms are also different. There are even guys with both arms turned into octopus suckers.

Things became even more chaotic. The parasites and phagocytic aggregates were already a headache for him. Who knew that a group of members of the enhanced "Brotherhood" appeared halfway, and there were quite a few of them, relying on the electronic equipment distributed in rows in the command hall. Form high and low defensive lines, attacking human and god combat units.

They are not afraid of death, even if their arms and heads are cut off, they will not make a scream, and they will explode after death, causing secondary damage to melee units. It seems that not only genetic modification, but also nerve damage. The system has also been adjusted, but their combat experience is very rich, far stronger than the well-trained soldiers of ordinary sovereign countries.

He wondered whether these people had been implanted with combat memory in addition to the above-mentioned transformation, so that they had the same level of combat effectiveness.

When he was in "Babylon", although the appearance of the "Brotherhood" made him alert, he didn't think they were his confidant's serious trouble, because no matter compared to the Mongya Empire, the Supreme Security Council, the Third Committee, or Anu Bis Legion, their strength is still very weak.

Until today, seeing these new clones in front of him, he suddenly realized that the suspected clone terrorists he encountered at the Ankalim Space Station were just the tip of the iceberg of the "Brotherhood" forces.

Judging from the current situation, they are indeed not the opponents of the human and god units, and the battle loss is close to 10:1, but if it is true that the "Brotherhood" members are all clones and have a If it is a factory, he will have a headache facing the endless army of clones.

Judging from the corpse explosions that will be triggered after the death of these members, it is obvious that the high-level leaders of this force regard them as cannon fodder. And...God knows if the Brotherhood has stronger soldiers.

Also, I was too aggrieved to fight this battle.

Judging from the current situation, the enemies of the "Brotherhood" are obviously those phagocytic polymers, and they themselves have definitely suffered unjustified disasters.

Of course, he didn't think he'd be friends with the "fraternity." Cloning technology is unethical, and after various modulations, turning them into fighting machines that only know how to kill is an act of inhumanity, more senseless than what the Phoenix Empire did to Morrison In StarCraft, Mengsk treated the old Union soldiers even more cruelly.
