Chapter 597： confusing

The polluter has 4 major components.

1. Arthropods, polluters can adapt to most dangerous environments and terrains by twisting their arthropods and crawling with multiple feet like most arthropods. Their skin is very hard and accompanied by many sharp bone spurs. When they shake their long tails, they will make a squeaky and frightening sound, destroying the enemy's resistance will visually and acoustically.

2. In the toxin room, the polluter has a compound chamber filled with 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 uses it. When people have the ability to fear, the toxins in these areas will be sprayed to the target location by polluters by 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 units, 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, the polluter's body is full of 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 composition of living tiny insects The black cloud makes it impossible for any troops outside this black cloud to accurately target the troops inside the black cloud.

The cost of the polluter is 50 crystals, 150 gas, and it takes up 2 people, which is much cheaper than the flying snake.

It has a total of 4 major active skills, namely "Destroy"-devouring Zerg individuals to increase their own energy; "Black Front"-creating black clouds of insects that weaken the combat effectiveness of long-range attack troops; "Plague" ------Using the corrosive spores to weaken the vitality of organic creatures and at the same time force invisible units to appear; "burrowing" ------ let polluters sneak into the ground to avoid attacks.

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

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

In all fairness, the Defiler's skills are stronger than the Flying Snake, especially the existence of "Plague" and "Destruction", but correspondingly, they need to be upgraded in the scorpion lair. The same goes for the passive skill "Toxin Room".

Select a worker bee and press the button to build the "Scorpion Nest". About 5 seconds later, the vesicles burst and the building has been mutated. Then, it spends 4,500 crystals and 4,500 gas to "toxins", "digest", and "plague". "Research the three skills.

Since then. The biochemical strike squad consisting of queen-infected-flying snake-pollutant-bombshell finally took shape.

Then he turned his attention to the real space, released 3 fire flames, and asked them to use the flame jet of destruction to clean up the virus-causing clouds that had not dissipated from floors -18 to -20, then turned back to the corridor and took out a set The new Ma Runjia was handed over to the veteran.

"That thing?"

He nodded with a sullen face.

The veteran's face also became gloomy. What I was really afraid of, it happened that there was not one deformity monster, but a brigade. Although it was repelled under Tang Fang's attack, this just shows their difficulty.

Zhou Ai asked, "What should I do next?"

Tang Fang looked at the -21st floor with the light of the fire bat jetting flames, and said in a deep voice, "Go down and take a look."

On the surface, this incident was an accident in the underground scientific research facility, which caused terrorist creatures such as phagosome polymers. The government evacuated irrelevant personnel from the scientific research park and dispatched biological experts to follow up. It was a pity that it didn't work. Not only did the biological experts die one after another, but even the soldiers in the transport team were also swallowed by the phagosome polymer. Form ugly deformities.

But he always feels that things are not so simple. If the phagosome polymer absorbs human genes to form a deformed monster, why would it spit out the virus-causing cloud released after Congreve's corpse was transformed? There is no epic biological gene fragment in human genes.

"Then everyone, be careful."

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

Roy held the gun in his left hand. The right arm has been blackened, ready to make a corresponding counterattack as soon as a dangerous situation occurs.

Aros did not speak. Dressed neatly, he picked up the "c-14 piercing hand" and moved forward behind Tang Fang to the right.

Several fire bats have incinerated the deadly germs floating in the air. The hot air blasted through the narrow corridors. There were gravel and rubble everywhere on the ground, as well as various body fluids that had been dried under high temperature.

Tang Fang walked down the stairs step by step, came to the crossing of the -21st floor, and gently opened the door that was swinging back and forth.

Sparks splashed on the ceiling and made a crackling noise. Dim light occasionally lit up in the corridor, spreading a faint light on the ground, shining on broken glass, dumped instruments, and pools of solidified blood.

A small fan tilted at the nearest place to the corridor was the culprit for shaking the corridor door.

Roy was slightly relieved, and followed Aros into the corridor, Zhou Ai was responsible for the break.

Tang Fang told several people to turn on the lighting equipment, and then summoned a stagnation ball and mechanical sentry to illuminate the nearby area with the water-like light from the energy core.

In addition to scientific research equipment, glass slag, blood stains and other sundries on the floor of the corridor, you can occasionally see assault rifles made by Turanx United Kingdom "Punished Man", some broken in two, some twisted, and others The gun body was wrapped in 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 phagosome polymers.

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

Aros’s muzzle turned horizontally, and under the light, he saw an obsolete defense robot dumped on the ground. Only half of the caliber machine gun left in his hand moved the firing pin back and forth. I think the identification friend or foe system is still working. Mechanical response.

Roy pulled the trigger from behind. The cpu of the defense robot was blown up, and the harsh metal crash stopped abruptly.

The veteran glared at him.

Roy said: "It makes me feel creepy."

If it is Bai Hao, he will definitely find other excuses. For example, such noise will interfere with Ma Runjia's external sensors, or noise can affect people's emotions in this environment. Play 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 expression eased a lot, and he nodded to him and continued to push forward.

The water waves from the static spherical core spread out like fluorescence on the front road, and the corridors and the scientific research laboratories on both sides were "clean", and no abnormalities were found. Only the reddish-brown blood on the ground and the glass wall of Datan proves that a brutal battle took place here not long ago, and many people died.

Tang Fang stopped 20 meters from the end of the corridor, turned around and entered a laboratory, stepped on a ground of broken glass, walked to the central computer in the innermost computer room and stood there, shutting off the "thermal vision" of the protective clothing for harsh environments. . Insert the data cable into the universal interface by the light of the searchlight on the chest of the veteran.

Although the computer monitor was damaged in the battle just now, the main system was fine, and the central processing unit and some databases were still operating.

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

Tang Fang scanned it briefly, arching his brows.

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

Things have become more confusing.

If the underground facilities in this area are used to study parasites, it means that Congreve is aware of the existence of parasites. Since his research team is studying parasites. It is very likely that the old duke was accidentally infected without knowing it, and then returned to "Aitiya" 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 are there traces of artificial deletion of computer data? Why do researchers do this? And how did the phagosome polymer come from? Isn't this a facility to study parasites? How can phagosome polymers appear?

Could it be that Congreve ever bought a sample of phagosomes from the "Babylon" Reach Trading Company? Or is it cultivated independently from other epic biological tissue samples?

Is there any relationship between the chaotic situation of "Aradele" and the parasite incident? What does Surbaggio think of the "Rulzan" change?

All kinds of problems are like a haze over my heart. Makes him extremely troubled.

At this moment, the covert operation team sent to Congreve's Palace sent letters back and forth. Like most facilities in the West Side, the palace is empty. Now that they have found the collection hall, the team members are cracking the external security system.

Tang Fang thought for a moment and decided to go to the -30th floor, because his instinct 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.

The lights on floors -22 to -28 were all off, and the corridor was dark.

He didn't check inside like he did on the -21st floor, but led the three people all the way down to the lowest -30th floor.

The road ahead was replaced by two fanatics. The flame of the psionic blade drove away the darkness in front of the door, cut the door directly into pieces, and entered the room.

Different from the configuration of the upper floors, the first entrance is an isolation room, and then a hall, 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 illuminates the not-so-spacious room, reflecting a blood red.

The zealots continued to destroy the door between the isolation room and the command hall and entered the black hole hall.

What is strange is that all the emergency lights in the command hall are all off, and the black is not visible.

When Tang Fang frowned slightly when he smelled a hint of danger, Zhou Ai grabbed him. Said: "Wait, there is something in it."

Suddenly, as if to confirm her words, there was a strange sound of something breaking through the air from the innermost part of the room, and the fanatic subconsciously waved the psionic blade in front of his arm. Divide the two green objects into two.

Hearing a puff, a cloud of dark-green liquid spilled, raining on the plasma shield of the fanatic's body, making a sore sound, and the strength of the shield was rapidly decreasing.

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

He dare not risk summoning Zerg units, although they are more suitable for fighting in dark and cramped environments, because their combat effectiveness will be greatly suppressed when encountering phagosome polymers. Unable to play the fighting power it should have.

Following the zealots, he threw 2 fire blasts, 2 predators, and a predator in the hall, and attacked the place where the dark green sac was shot.

The light of flames and crisscross searchlights illuminate most of the room. The predator is like a sensitive night cat, jumping from one device after another, reaching the place where the sac flies almost at the same time as the fanatic.

The blood soared into the air and poured on the ceiling. The light swept across, so striking.

No screams, only explosions.

The fanatic was pushed back by the shock wave. More and more liquid sacs are broken, and a dark green coating is smeared on the surface of the plasma shield to corrode the strength of the shield extremely quickly.

Each swing of the predator's alloy claws will stimulate an electric field, and countless bouncing arcs illuminate the gaps in the equipment, revealing face after face and their deformed arms.

Some resemble daffodils. A dark green liquid sac will be sprayed out, and the acid inside is strong enough to corrode the plasma shield of the fanatic.

Some are like beating hearts. Breeding one after another hard beetle that can glide and turn, the heavy power armor that hits the looters and the fire blasts with sparks.

Some are like octopus suckers. It can stretch freely, wrap around the body of the looter, and stop it from continuing to kill.

Flames and explosions stirred up a mess in the command hall, and equipment parts and debris rolled to the ground.

A fanatic was injured, was sent into the system space by Tang Fang, and immediately went to the battlefield for three more.

A fire bat's plasma tank was corroded by dark green acid, then it was pierced by a hard beetle and exploded. It affected a looter nearby and flew out, hitting an electronic device and smashing into a huge depression.

His expression is very complicated, mainly in surprise, because through the eyes of the fanatic, he clearly sees the right arm of those people, and the corpse explosion triggered after death.

This reminded him of a scene he had experienced. A few months ago at the Ankalim space station in "Babylon", Charlotte Quinn suffered a terrorist attack, and the man who started it was exactly the same as the enemy in front of him... Of course, at that time. Their right arm has only one ability, that is, the ability to spray liquid sacs.

He called them "Brotherhood" because all the terrorists had the same appearance and body shape, and he suspected that they were clones.

However, the enemies encountered today are a bit different from the members of the "Brotherhood". Their looks are different, and the changes in their right arms are also different. There are even guys with both arms turned into octopus suckers.

Things have become more chaotic. The parasites and phagosome polymers have already troubled him. Who knows that a batch of enhanced "Brotherhood" members have been killed halfway, and there are a lot of them, relying on the electronic equipment distributed in the command hall. Formed a staggered line of defense, attacking the human and **** battle units.

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

He doubted whether these people had been implanted with combat memories in addition to the above transformations, so that they would have the same level of combat effectiveness.

When he was in "Babylon", although the appearance of the "Brotherhood" made him vigilant, he did not think they were his own confidant, because whether it was compared with the Monya Empire, the Supreme Council, the Third Committee, or Anu The Biss Army, their strength is still very weak.

Until today saw these new clones in front of him, he suddenly realized that the terrorists who were suspected of cloning 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 gods, and the battle damage is close to 10:1, but if it is really like he guessed, the members of the "fraternity" are all clones and have a clone manufacturer. In the case of a factory, he would have a headache in the face of an endless army of clones.

Judging from the fact that these members will explode after their deaths, it is obvious that the upper ranks of the forces treat them as cannon fodder. And... God knows if the "Brotherhood" has any stronger soldiers.

Also, I was frustrated in this battle.

Judging from the current situation, the enemies of the "Brotherhood" are obviously those phagosome polymers, and they are definitely suffering from unwarranted disasters.

Of course, he does not think he will become a friend of the "fraternity". Cloning technology is unethical, and this kind of modulation, turning them into a fighter that only knows to kill, is an act of annihilating humanity. It is more innocent than what the Phoenix Empire did on Morris slave. In StarCraft, Mengsk treated the old Union soldiers more cruelly. (To be continued)
