In terms of geographical location and environment, the United States is indeed a good place.

There are fertile plains and lush mountains and forests here. Even the desert here has a romantic atmosphere.

No wonder some people call the expansion of the United States Manifest Destiny.

Although the United States has a population of hundreds of millions, it is a place where most areas are livable. There are many environments that are rarely inhabited on the vast land.

When this six-legged monster quietly jumped into the jungle, the driver didn't even notice that something had come to this land.

"Well..."

This monster walks on four limbs, just like a cat or dog. However, this monster does not have a head, but has a strange mouthpart, and on both sides of the mouthpart, there are actually a pair of hands.

The monster's body is pink, just like humans.

"roar--"

The monster just stayed quietly in the forest, but its appearance seemed to offend the original owner of this territory, a brown bear.

The brown bear with its back turned to the monster immediately roared threateningly when it saw the creature.

"Ho! Roar!"

After discovering that the monster was unmoved, the brown bear became angry and the other party immediately rushed towards the monster.

At this moment, the monster suddenly nimbly dodged to the side, moved its original position, and then fiercely bit the brown bear's body.

"Woo——"

The brown bear immediately let out a mournful cry.

However, the brown bear's mournful cry only lasted for a few seconds before completely disappearing. Because a piece of the brown bear's side body was severely bitten off, and its heart was torn to the ground.

At this time, the monster did not eat, but spit out the meat from its mouth.

But the monster didn't seem to want to let go of the brown bear's body. It grabbed the brown bear with both hands on both sides of its mouth, then jumped lightly and came to a cave. There was still the brown bear in the cave.

Judging by the smell, this place was obviously the brown bear's former den.

The monster placed the body in the deepest part of the cave, then its mouth surged, and green eggs were spat out from the monster's mouth one by one, instead of being placed on the monster's body.

After doing all this, the monster did not rest, but suddenly opened its mouth wider.

"vomit--"

Following a strange sound, a pair of thighs gradually emerged from the monster's mouthparts, followed by a body covered in mucus.

Catherine's spare body was quickly placed by the monster.

It wasn't until the spare body was vomited out that the monster began to eat the brown bear's body. After eating about one-third of the meat, the monster stopped.

The monster walked near Catherine's spare body. But this time, the monster did not swallow Catherine again, but placed it in the innermost part of the cave.

"Original essence..."

The monster made a sound of unknown meaning.

Afterwards, the monster looked around, not knowing what it was planning to do.

At this moment, the monster suddenly noticed the lichen and moss at the entrance of the cave.

After thinking for two minutes, the monster walked over. Then, a long and big tongue suddenly came out of his mouthparts!

The monster stirred its tongue and scraped away all the moss at once.

Then, the monster got into the hole again. Then it became motionless, as if it was brewing something...

…

On the other side, Catherine had just changed into the second set of equipment at this time.

"The beta2 suit is a long-range support type, equipped with a large-caliber sniper cannon, sniper rifle and targeting equipment. It can see things up to 30 kilometers away."

This outfit is all black and looks cool and cool. Catherine likes it very much.

“Really good.”

Wearing a helmet, Catherine used the zoom system. She found that she could indeed fully expand her field of vision.

This feels really good.

"Um...phone?"

At this moment, Jenny's phone rang. She answered the phone, but her expression didn't seem to be very good.

"Um?"

Catherine looked towards Jenny.

"Kate, I think our activities will be temporarily suspended. Our intelligence personnel just brought some incredible things from the East Valley Laboratory."

The situation seems not to be good.

"good."

Anyway, there was still a chance, so Catherine asked these people to take the things away first, and then she, Jenny, and Lisa took the car back to the laboratory.

After returning to the laboratory, Catherine discovered that the hive's intelligence agent had really obtained something extraordinary.

"Um...what is this?"

Something that looks like an egg sac.

This is something the spies from Donggu Lab just got.

"Conch eggs...probably," Jenny said.

"perhaps……?"

"On the surface, this is indeed an aquatic gastropod mollusk that produces egg sacs that float spontaneously," Jenny said.

And Catherine immediately noticed the important point: "On the surface?"

Indeed, these egg sacs looked just like alien eggs. To be honest, when Catherine saw these animals for the first time, she thought she had entered the plot of an invasion.

"Well, this is indeed the growth pattern of conches... These conchs lay their eggs in a huge sac filled with liquid. These liquids are rich in sugar and protein for the growth of new conchs. Their breeding period is usually during

Around September to October or April to June. These eggs are probably laid near the coastline. When I was studying artificial uterus, I once studied this thing. This thing should be more likely to appear on the coast of Argentina and Japan.

If so...sorry, I haven’t heard of it yet.”

"But in fact, this thing appeared in the Donggu Laboratory, which shows that the truth may not be as simple as we imagined. I don't think they will have nothing to do to study conch when they are full. The man named Shan

The person in charge of Sayero is a complete psychopath."

Catherine frowned as she looked at the egg filled with green liquid.

She didn't know why, but she had an ominous premonition in her mind.

When she saw this egg, Catherine had an ominous feeling, but this feeling was not directed at this place, but... far away in the United States.

"According to the information obtained from our intelligence personnel, this thing is an unfinished trial product. One of the prototypes comes from a crab slave." Jenny looked through the report.

"Is it going to be bad?" Catherine asked.

"It's not clear, because the information is relatively vague. But it can be seen that this thing seems to be used as an experimental subject, and it is not complete yet. The Donggu Laboratory seems to have two plans. On the one hand, it is preparing to develop biological weapons, and on the other hand, it is not completely clear.

On the one hand, it seems that they want to treat this device as a special-purpose parasitic device... I have a bad feeling."

"I remember crab slaves reproduce by controlling crabs?" Catherine thought of this.

"So, putting the two words control and parasitism together, no matter what, is not reassuring."

What Jenny said does make sense.

"Unfortunately, in order to prevent exposure, all we got were processed dead eggs. There are no effective ingredients in this stuff." She shook her head.

"Do you want me to go there? Do you need special means?" Catherine asked.

"We'll wait and see for the time being. It's best to obtain the information through normal means." Jenny said: "I didn't expect that the people from the East Valley Research Laboratory would be so messy..."

"What terrible things did they do?" Catherine asked curiously: "Is it more exaggerated than causing this biochemical disaster?"

"I can't say, but it was really a mistake to let them get the repair protein. Their experiment was too messy."

Catherine took the report and said: "Well... remove the redundant proteins, directly cut out the DNA that expresses the genetic information, and then form a new gene? Indeed, if there are no repair proteins as an assistant, this will be

A very difficult thing.”

Repair proteins help DNA maintain a stable structure. This is useful when cutting DNA.

"Yes, but they are going in the wrong direction...because there are no redundant proteins at all."

All life on earth uses DNA (for some viruses, RNA or protein) to store genetic information, and expresses DNA into proteins to form cells, which then execute various instructions of the living body.

The genetic code is a set of special instructions that translate dna into protein. dna is composed of four molecules (also called bases), usually represented by a, g, t, c. dna is compiled by combining each three dna

The base is read as an amino acid, which then forms a protein. These three consecutive DNA bases are called "codons".

Of course, these are all high school biology content. This is common sense.

The key lies in the following:

Using four kinds of DNA bases to arrange and combine, the codons have a total of 4 to the third power, which is 64 different arrangements.

——However, there are only 20 kinds of amino acids that make up proteins.

According to experiments, we know that different codons will be translated into the same amino acid. For example, the four codons gcu, gcc, gca, and gcg will all be translated into alanine. Scientists believe that these different codons will be translated into alanine.

into the same amino acid. They contain only repeated information, and are called "redundant codons".

This is also the view of those at Mushroom Lab.

That's why they thought of streamlining DNA.

"The Honeycomb Laboratory previously used new ribosome analysis technology to detect gene activity in living cells. In this test, the speed of protein synthesis was included." Jenny explained: "In detecting the speed of protein synthesis in bacteria,

, we discovered that even a slight DNA sequence

Changes in the sequence may have a huge impact on the rate of protein synthesis... Even seemingly insignificant changes such as 'silent mutations' that only change a single DNA base but do not affect its synthesized amino acids can slow down the rate of protein synthesis to

One-tenth of its normal speed, or even slower."

"What does this mean?" Catherine asked.

"Very simply, this shows that the codons that were considered redundant in the past are obviously not simply repeated. Although we don't know the specific mechanism yet, our research shows that nature will take into account the process of screening codons.

The amino acid product it compiles also takes into account the speed of its compilation."

It's like saying "good morning" when greeting everyone is definitely much simpler than "today is a new day, we meet, I say hello to you".

"That……"

"The problem is that behind...the creatures are behaving normally."

"Um?"

Acting normally?

Catherine immediately realized that something was abnormal.

——At this time, there must be something wrong with normality. Obviously abnormality is the problem that should occur at this time!

"Yes, that's the problem. They obviously haven't studied the so-called redundant DNA, so they haven't considered this issue at all."

However, the conclusion is that everything is normal.

"The people in the Donggu Laboratory probably don't even know what kind of experiments they are doing...hell."

Catherine finally understood.

"Yes, this shows that there may be some very dangerous things in the Donggu Laboratory. But these people have obviously not noticed this yet..."

"Is it something similar to a protozoa?" Catherine asked.

"It's not clear. But according to our detection of the protozoa, this organism will produce a substance similar to the alternating protein. But at the same time, this protein of the protozoa will also feminize the organism, so we can't judge."

The original body is worn on Yamamoto Naoki's body, which is convenient.

"Does that mean it's different?"

"Well, the protozoa is more like an existence that was born by coincidence. And the existence we see now gives me the feeling that it is... an intelligent alternating protein. As far as I know, only alternating proteins have the ability to accelerate

The ability to speed protein synthesis.”

The alternating protein translates DNA into a codon, and then repairs the body based on this codon and DNA. In many cases, the alternating protein indeed behaves like a kind of life.

"In other words, the creature we are facing is very likely to have the ability to induce the existence that controls life?"

"That seems to be the case. And the egg we got... belongs to that creature."

"It can't be an alien..." Catherine suddenly complained in a low voice.

"Alien? You mean that movie?"

Alien is a being that can continuously adjust and evolve according to its host.

This is really similar to the existence mode of this oocyte.

It's a pity. Since the last problem in Donggu Laboratory, their security measures have become much stricter.

"Sure enough, you still want me to go?" Catherine looked at Jenny.

At this time, it seemed that I had to go investigate.

"Okay, but how much information can you get by yourself?" Jenny seemed to have a plan of her own.

"I don't know. But I can be considered a semi-professional, and I should be able to find some ways to get some laboratory information - do you have any new ideas?" Catherine asked curiously.

"Queen bee." Jenny suddenly said such a word.

"Um?"

"Kate, the alien you just mentioned reminded me. I suddenly thought of an idea. These people obviously intend to create something unreasonable. But these people are not aware of the meaning behind what they are doing.

...No, maybe someone is aware of it, but this crazy guy obviously has a very strange psychology towards this experiment."

Indeed, Catherine did not believe that the Red Army could obtain those viruses.

Among them, there must be a guy who is afraid that the world will not be in chaos.

The only such guy that Catherine can think of is the clown.

But Wesker's lover has been brainwashed into a cat, and this guy is chasing the Joker endlessly, so there's no way it's this guy.

"But it means that there is a weird psychopathic guy in Donggu Laboratory."

This is the truth.

"That's right. And my idea is... maybe we can make use of this person's research. This document mentions the order of ants and bees many times. I think this person must be preparing to set up a 'queen', and

I think we can create a queen bee through control, even through ourselves."

This is really an interesting idea.

Well……

Is this really not the stuff of science fiction?

Catherine always felt as if her eyes were filled with a sense of déjà vu.

"What are you going to do?" Catherine asked.

"Of course, break into their interior." Jenny looked at Catherine: "I think your Serena can come in handy at this time. I remember there is a way to make Serena completely simulate your existence...

…”

"The Holy Grail does contain the 'complete personality cloning' system I'm researching here, but if this thing is used, I always feel weird..."

The "Complete Personality Rewriting System" reads Catherine's brain state and then writes it into the electronic brain. The electronic brain will completely represent Catherine's current state. This is just like the shadow clone technique in Naruto.

However, because Catherine does not exist as a source of thought, Selina must be allowed to perform a simulation. The maximum duration of this simulation is 5 hours. Unless it is continuously strengthened through neutrino communication.

But with this feeling, Catherine will always feel that it is not Serena who will be played, but her own clone.

So strange.

"Okay, in order to get the final information, you have to do something wrong, Kate. Anyway, you won't do it yourself."

Jenny patted Catherine on the shoulder.

"...It's up to you."

Catherine no longer wanted to discuss this issue.

The more such issues continue to be discussed, Catherine always feels that a bad conclusion will be reached in the end.

…

The second phase of the main line is about to be connected. However, the copycat version of Zerg PK or something like that... Well, I don’t know why, but I suddenly feel so shameful...
