Knocking wonders from the space station

Old Popsicle took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"The first generation of protozoa was supposed to be produced by our clan's core laboratory and then released into the insect swarm through war equipment, but...

Now it has mutated.

It should be that there was a leak in the laboratory where the experimental samples were stored, so that these unstable first-generation protophages found a mother body."

"What kind of matrix?"

"I don't know, but it must be some kind of creature.

The research on protozoa is coming to an end, and we have not yet made the gene sequence completely stable, and it is very likely that it will mutate.

In order to survive and reproduce, these first-generation protozoa, which are supposed to kill their hosts, should have formed some kind of symbiotic relationship with individual hosts, thus surviving in a stable state for a long time.

The protozoa inside these mothers mutated into the 0th generation!"

Now Lu Feng understood, and his expression suddenly became very ugly.

"In other words, the first-generation protozoa originally produced in your laboratory have now established their own business and combined with any host without authorization.

And these hosts that were supposed to die have become a protophage production base. They can produce the first generation of protozoa on their own, and even...

Are these newly produced first-generation protozoa also mutated?"

"The biological weapons you created are out of control!"

Yang Ying on the side was horrified. With her professional knowledge, she knew very well what kind of disaster would be caused if the protozoa got out of control, and the degree of harm would be no less than a real Zerg invasion.

Old Popsicle didn't defend himself. This was indeed a hidden danger left by their Protheans. It would be fine if he didn't wake up, but since there is still a Prothean, he needs to be responsible for this.

"Maybe there is still a chance to save it."

Lu Feng pondered for a moment and suddenly said: "Old Popsicle, come and take a look at this!"

As he said this, Lu Feng showed the description of this insect plague trial to Lao Bing Guan. After reading it, Lao Bing Guan's two pairs of small eyes suddenly became much brighter.

"This is……"

"Well, that's really lucky.

Because of the existence of oracles, we can get some very important information.

The level of this pest disaster is only level 4, which shows that, at least in the early stages of the disaster, we are fully capable of containing it.

The oracle also said that the way to solve the disaster is to destroy the brood.

If the prediction is correct, the so-called mother nest should be the symbiont of the protozoa, which will continuously produce a generation of protozoa to spread the insect plague.

And if we can completely destroy these broods, then the protozoa that have lost their source, no matter how large their numbers are, will develop to the third generation and die."

"Yes, the possibility you said is very high. I have confidence in our clan's technology. Even if it is not completed yet, it will not cause such a world-wide disaster. There are limits to mutation. We will definitely be able to end it!"

Out of a sense of historical responsibility, Old Popsicle was in high spirits at this moment and seemed very motivated.

"Okay, let's divide our troops into two groups.

Yang Ying, you and Lao Bingguo will immediately conduct research on the protozoa, confirm its mutation, and try your best to study the cracking plan and the treatment plan for the host infected with the first generation of protozoa, taking a scientific route.

And I will lead the commando team to find those nests that released the plague, completely burn them down, and take the route of force.

It will be the third day soon, and the coordinates of three brood nests will be exposed. We will act immediately and move forward together."

"Understood, I will try my best!"

"I will try my best to atone for my sins, but it is best for me to be present when I first contact the Brood. I can also handle emergencies."

"Okay, let's do it!"

…

Soon, Lu Feng shared the information he obtained with Zhong Mingzhao and warned Zhong Mingzhao to be careful of infection.

Zhong Mingzhao was shocked after hearing this, and instantly thought of the unusual sandworm that appeared not long ago.

broken!

Zhong Mingzhao hurriedly sent someone to confirm the condition of the sandworm corpse, but it was too late.

Overnight, the second-generation protozoa had completed hatching inside the corpses of several sandworms, and then broke out. In less than 10 minutes, they had formed several black clouds composed of thousands of flying insects.

After the black cloud formed, it rushed toward the colony overwhelmingly.

The defenders on the city wall were shocked and opened fire decisively, but most of the bullets and shells passed through the protozoa swarm, and only the insects on the trajectory were shattered by the shock wave.

"Replace the proximity fuze of the anti-aircraft gun immediately! Where is the flamethrower? Put on the flamethrower!"

The Shenzhou Colony immediately thought of a way to deal with it, but the swarm of insects arrived so quickly that the defenders on the city wall were swallowed up by the overwhelming black clouds before they could reach the warehouse.

The corpse of the sandworm is well nutritious, and the second-generation protozoa born from it are as big as an egg, and their sharp mouthparts can even bite through steel. After all, the Protheans are counting on them to bite through the Zerg carapace.

Ordinary protective clothing could not stop them at all, and the defenders at the head of the city were soon parasitized. The third generation of protozoa multiplied rapidly in their bodies, and they were about to die.

Zhong Mingzhao's eyes were about to burst.

He didn't expect that there would be such vicious creatures on Tianji Planet.

In order to reduce casualties, he could only reluctantly abandon the outdoors and let everyone evacuate urgently.

This shelter was originally prepared to deal with natural disasters, but now it has become the last barrier under the insect swarm.

In just 5 minutes, there was no one alive outside the colony.

The partially consumed second-generation protozoa were still raging overhead, but the black clouds were thinner.

And this isn't the end yet.

Many soldiers and civilians who were rescued were parasitized. Even if the second-generation protozoa surging under the skin were dug out through surgery, the parasitized ones would still die quickly.

Compared to the Zerg's powerful immune system, humans' internal defenses are vulnerable to protozoan attacks.

What made Zhong Mingzhao's scalp numb even more was that a considerable number of residents began to coma and have fever. According to the data from Lu Feng, it was found that they were actually infected with the first-generation protozoa!

When were they infected?

Water source or... air!

Could tiny first-generation protozoa larvae float in the air?

In this case, is there a mother nest near the colony...

Zhong Mingzhao couldn't think about this.

If not treated in time, these infected people will soon become a breeding ground for protozoa, explode and die a day later, and release new second-generation protozoa!

Should they be burned to death in advance?

"Old Zhong, the missile is already on the way, let your people hide it!"

At the same time, the top forces were shocked to discover that the Gate of Hell actually launched missiles towards the Chinese colony.

What's going on, killing each other?

They hurriedly mobilized a few lonely satellites to track and monitor, and finally discovered the ominous black cloud over the Chinese colony.

This is……

The missile quickly flew over the colony and exploded directly.

Strong ultrasonic waves swept out, and the black cloud collapsed at the first touch, and large swaths of insects were shattered by the shock wave, like a black rain.

……
