The peak of Blood Mountain.
The Beast King in a white robe stared at the foot of the mountain, and a faint smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth.
No unexpected results.
These old things have been degenerated for too long.
They held the relics of the prosperity era and were immersed in the beautiful dreams of the relics of old civilizations, but they forgot that this place was not the pre-war period when singing and dancing, but the wasteland that was eating raw meat and drinking blood.
As long as they completely abandon the bottom line and fantasy and abandon all things that can be abandoned, even in the face of the encirclement of the decadent old civilization, the young people will not be able to fight.
Alliances are a hassle, but that's all.
They have not given up enough, nor have they been brave enough.
At least not as good as a person who is not a human being.
At this moment, a low voice came into his sea of consciousness, like a buzzing sound coming from the depths of the earth.
Those people retreated.
The Beast King nodded and responded in a very light voice.
I saw it.
They took away the information from the cave, and my existence was probably exposed.There was a hint of hesitation in the dull voice, as if he was worried about something.
The Beast King raised his eyebrows gently with interest.
Are you scared?
No, the voice paused for a while and said slowly, but I smelled a nasty breath.
‘That guy’ is getting closer and closer to us.
……
At 12 noon, Task Force Alpha issued an order to retreat and retreated the two squadrons fighting on Blood Mountain.
The college invested 300 individual drones, but in the end only 100 were withdrawn.The 200 Alpha Task Force mobile team suffered even more losses, and only less than half of them were withdrawn.
Even those who withdrew were mostly seriously infected.
The wounded were placed in the Second Front Hospital, observed and treated by the Alliance Institute of Biology and the medical team from the Science and Technology Commission.
The components of the toxic substances and how they break through the Alpha Task Force's individual three-defense system still need further investigation and research.
Although both the highest command of the coalition forces and the army outside the academy had long anticipated the result of this first battle, the academy's performance in actual combat was still beyond everyone's expectations.
How to say it?
It feels a bit like a thunder and a little rain.
It seems that the guys in the north are just like that.
Watching Task Force Alpha withdrawn from the front, General Babita from the Empire had a hint of contempt in his eyes.
He suddenly felt that his person was OK again.
Just recently, the Duke of Galawa stationed in Dawn City expressed dissatisfaction with their performance of doing nothing on the front line and urged them to focus more on the battlefield.
Maybe they should do something to win some face for His Majesty the Emperor.
Not only the officers of the Imperial Army were surprised by the performance of the academy, but also General Lium, who had just changed his opinion of those guys.
Unexpectedly, these guys had a fancy operation, but were fleeing from the front line by the other beat.
… Maybe I should reconsider my comments on these guys.
Sitting in the airship bridge, Lium, who raised her legs on her knees, pulled open an ice cream and stuffed it into her mouth with an intriguing expression.
Of course, another possibility is not ruled out.
These slugs in the swamp deliberately showed weakness to show that their people and animals are harmless and they can find opportunities to take advantage of the situation.
After all, no one except themselves knows what they are really thinking.
In fact, Lium thought too much about deliberately showing weakness.
Even the college itself was in a big way for such a result.
For this battle, they made sufficient and careful preparations, but lost to a group of primitive people fighting with stones and sticks.
At least in Yang Kai's opinion.
What are you doing? With the strongest equipment, you can’t even beat a group of mutants?
The research ship was rarely landed at the military base of the Weifu Mansion. Yang Kai found the head of the Alpha Mobile Task Force and said in a reprimanding voice.
Sorry, I let you down.
The guy named Alpha Zero lowered his head, looking like he was seriously reflecting on his mistakes, but Yang Kai could not feel any sincerity in reflecting on him.
Shaking his head, Yang Kai knew that it would be a waste of effort to scold him. In the end, he did not make things difficult for this guy anymore, so he waved his hand and sent him away.
After scolding the commander who formulated the combat plan, he immediately found Chu Guang, who was inspecting the Second Hospital of the Military Base of the Weifu, and briefly described the situation encountered by Task Force Alpha in the operation.
...The mutants on Shifeng Mountain have some problems. The characteristics they show in evolution are something we have never seen before.Not only that, based on the extraction of on-site samples by the frontline troops, we suspect that there is a mother nest hidden deep in the Blood Mountain.
After listening to Yang Kai's statement, Chu Guang nodded.
We think so too.
Yang Kai was stunned when he heard this and stared at him suspiciously.
How did you know?
Chu Guang: Guessed.
Yang Kai: ...
Looking at Yang Kai with a speechless face, Chu Guang coughed lightly and continued.
...These details of the problems are not the point, the key is how we deal with this problem now.
Yang Kai's expression gradually became serious.
What is your opinion?
My opinion is…waiting for the experts’ opinions.
As he said that, Chu Guang turned his gaze to the isolation ward with the closed door on the side.
Alpha Task Force members who had withdrawn from the front line were all lying there, some of them had awakened, but many had not yet woken up.
At present, Hea is understanding the situation inside, and I believe that there will be results after waiting for a while.
At the same time, Hea, who was standing in the ward, had a solemn expression on his face, staring at the tablet in his hand.
This is an organic protein molecule she has never seen before. It is like a virus, but is smaller than a known virus, even less than 7 nanometers, and the average individual is about 5 nanometers.
And this is not the most surprising one.
The most incredible thing is that in addition to RNA that stores genetic information, this unnamed substance also has a highly folded knob-like macromolecule structure that can store mechanical potential energy like a clockwork and release it to the tail through slow rotation.
At the tail of the substance, there are at least four special-shaped protein chains.
They can do simple mechanical movements like protozoa flagella, driven by clockwork, thereby pushing the substance to slowly spread from high concentration areas to low concentration areas!
To make an inappropriate but vivid enough metaphor, this thing is like a nano-scale missile!
Usually, if you live in spores, a spore can carry 3 to 7 pieces. The spores will release them after they break actively or passively.
The RNA inside is its warhead, the folded macromolecular protein is its engine, and the tail protein chain is its thruster.
In addition to drifting on particles, it can also complete the migration from particles a to particles b in an active manner.
This characteristic is most likely the most direct reason why this substance can break through the gas mask of Task Force Alpha.
After all, it is well known that gas masks containing activated carbon and other substances mainly use the electrostatic adsorption effect to filter tiny particles carrying harmful substances, so it is not that the smaller the particles, the greater the difficulty of filtering.
According to experimental statistics, 03 micron particles are the hardest to filter, so many times the filtration efficiency of 03 micron particles is used as an indicator to measure the filtration effect. For example, N95 means that the filtration efficiency of 03 micron particles reaches more than 95%.
Although the diameter of 5nm is not enough to allow the substance to penetrate the gas mask, it would be hard to say if one adds a free migration by relying on endogenous power.
According to the manifestations in clinical experiments, these substances left a passage made of wreckage between the pores of the gas mask.
They seem to be able to calculate the shortest path from the entrance to the exit, just like the slime molds in a petri dish looking for food.
But what is strange is that although this thing is very similar to a virus in form, the offensive strategy adopted against the host is completely different from most viruses.
After a general virus injects nucleic acid into the host cell, it usually uses the substances of the host cell to first synthesize the replica enzymes and some inhibitory proteins necessary for their own replication, and then synthesizes the nucleic acid and structural proteins of the progeny virus.
The final result is usually to completely drain the host's somatic cells, and then a group of disciples and grandchildren will harm the next target.
However, these special substances write their own genetic material into the genetic material of the host cell through a series of operations, just like the HIV virus.
However, the purpose of their doing this is not to self-replicate, but to assimilate the host and completely transform the host's cells into another form.
As for what exactly is transformed into, it is a completely random event.
There are currently 97 observations, of which 17 have died, 10 have excellent immunity levels and therefore have not been affected. The remaining 70 affected have different manifestations and even the locations where the lesions occur are different.
For example, some nervous system activity suddenly increases by 200%, while some people's minds degenerate to the level of babies.
Some people have grown a piece of finger from their shoulders, but this is easier to solve, just amputation.
As for more stubborn tissue hyperplasia, such as amputation and re-growth, or simply serious lesions in the original limb, other medical methods must be used.
Not only the researchers from the alliance were amazed by this situation, but also the researchers from Yunjian Province, with different surprises on their faces and whispering to other researchers beside them.
incredible……
It is entirely composed of proteins and nucleic acids, but it also shows the characteristics of life activities... Can this thing be considered a virus?
I don't recommend using this title... I have never seen a virus that can show life traits without the help of living cells. Misleading naming will cause our research to be disturbed by subjective cognition.
Whether that kind of exercise can be considered a life activity is still controversial, but I agree with your statement, what is the name of Alpha Protozoa?
...I have no objection.
Agree.
This thing was brought back by Alpha's mobile team, and there is nothing wrong with naming it with their code name.
……
After the brief discussion, the clinical analysis report was finally taken out of the laboratory.
Heya handed the report to Chu Guang who was waiting at the door of the laboratory and briefly described the content of the report with a statement he could understand.
...To sum up, it is currently known that alpha protozoa has high intensity permeability and can tamper with the genetic material of infected people.According to the calculation results, at least the physical attributes must reach at least 20 points before they can completely save the infection.
20 points of physical fitness?Yang Kai, who was standing next to Chu Guang, frowned and asked incomprehensible, what is that?
Without answering this question directly, Heya turned his eyes to Chu Guang and asked him if he wanted to disclose it.
There is nothing to hide in this kind of thing.
Chu Guang said concisely.
It is the Alliance's physical examination indicator. We set the benchmark value of each physical function to 5. The meaning of 20 points is roughly 4 times the benchmark metabolism and the working efficiency of the immune system... By the way, this is not a very rigorous indicator, it is only used for reference.
However, 20 points of physical fitness can completely save the influence of the alpha protozoa...
To be honest, the offensive ability of this thing is a bit weak.
In addition, the physical constitution of mutants is obviously more than 20 points, and those guys' physical fitness starts at level 20 to 30, so even if they are in the environment of Alpha Protozoa, they will have no effect.
However, there are still a large number of mutant mutants on Blood Mountain, and these mutants have extremely strong combat power and recovery power. It is probably because of the torch that helped them find other stable evolution methods.
For example, take a big mouthful of soup that soaks the protozoa.
After listening to Chu Guang's explanation, Yang Kai roughly understood what 20 physique meant and nodded thoughtfully.
I see.
Most of the Alpha Task Force are ordinary people. According to him, although those guys are equipped with some prosthetic bodies, they have not strengthened the immune system in one go.
Realizing this, his face changed slightly.
Good guy...
Isn’t this so severely conquered?!
He didn't know what Yang Kai was thinking, and He Ya continued to say that the two of them had no questions.
In addition, we speculate that the source of the alpha protozoa is the product of the mutational mucus maternal nest.It is not yet certain whether their actions are dominated by maternal consciousness... But I personally prefer to think that they are more unconsciously spreading like spores, and their actions at the macroscopic level are not affected by unified consciousness.
After a pause, she continued.
For the sake of convenient research, we intend to name the suspected maternal nest in Blood Mountain as Alpha Maternal Nest and conduct a combined study of the Alpha Protozoa Project.
It depends on you. It’s easy to come by. Without asking the college’s opinions, Chu Guang nodded and then asked his most concerned question. What is the spread of this virus?Is there a risk of proliferation?
Don't worry about this for the time being. After all, they are not real viruses and will not replicate themselves like viruses. You can understand it as a bullet installed on the small missile of Spore.
It seemed that this statement was not rigorous enough, so Hea added another sentence after pausing for a moment.
Of course, the premise is that no new mutations appear. After all, the mother nest will evolve itself, not to mention that there are a group of madmen who are helping it.
When Chu Guang, who was still a little confused when he heard the metaphor of missiles and missile heads, immediately understood the difference between Alpha Protozoa and Spores.
Sure enough, such professional reports have to be interpreted by professionals.
What is the cure?
Hea said with a serious expression.
If it is just a mild infection, the infected person can clear it by relying on his own immunity after he leaves the infected area.But if the immune system is captured and most stem cells are eroded, the infection will become an irreversible state.At that level, the host will undergo macroscopic mutations, and normal cells carrying primitive DNA need to be eliminated, while lesion cells fused with alpha protozoa genetic material become normal... You can roughly understand this.
In other words... are those guys completely helpless?Yang Kai looked at the door behind her with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
That can't be said.
Heya's expression hesitated slightly, he glanced at the researcher of the academy, then looked at Chu Guang, and hesitated for a moment and continued.
According to our analysis, the biological analyses produced by Xiaoyu can have the effect of using poison to fight poison.Theoretically, as long as the host still has a little primitive cell, it can use this as a blueprint to create corresponding mimic replicas to replace the lesion limbs, but there will still be a big difference between the mimic body and the primitive body... So whether to use this treatment method, we have to seek their own opinions.
Moreover, Xiaoyu's biological prosthesis is currently only used in a small area within the Shelter No. 404. On the one hand, it is to facilitate observation of side effects, and on the other hand, it is to control risks and prevent widespread social controversy.
Whether to use it outside the residents of Shelter No. 404 also requires the approval of Chu Guang himself, who is the manager of Shelter No. 404.
After understanding the inquiry in Heya's eyes, Chu Guang said after thinking for a moment.
I have no objection, but Xiaoyu's biological anatomy is still in the experimental stage, and all the consequences can only be borne by the experimenter themselves.
Before the establishment of the Mucopoly Community, the contracting parties had already conducted limited data interoperability on topics related to mucopoly research.
Because of the disclosure of relevant data, the college also has some understanding of Xiaoyu's characteristics, otherwise it would be impossible to leave such a big mother nest without paying attention.
Therefore, there is no problem of not leaking secrets. The harmless treatment plan for slime mold itself is the premise that the slime mold research community can be established and its headquarters is located in Qingquan City.
Faced with the option Chu Guang had polished, Yang Kai just thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation.
...We have no objection here. As long as it can play a positive role in the Alpha mother nest on Blood Mountain, try it well.
He does not need to bear any psychological burden to make such a decision. After all, the survivors under the Science and Technology Commission are just tools for the college to achieve their goals.
They have never concealed this, and the survivors who joined the Alpha Task Force have long been aware of their own destiny.
Knowing that they had no chance to become researchers, they made the most rational choice, deleted the part of themselves in their brain tissue very early, and voluntarily devoted themselves to becoming a fruit entity under the huge collection of Alpha Task Force, in exchange for a more decent living standard for themselves and their families.
This is just a transaction, and the price is clearly marked.
After becoming a member of the Alpha Task Force, their bodies no longer belong to them, and the will of their superiors is their will. Even if they die like a worker bee, they will not complain at most. At most, they will show biological instinctive fear when they die, but there will not be too much complaints or hesitation.
However, Hea didn't understand the inside story of the academy and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant about Yang Kai's decisive decision.
In her understanding, at least the patient and his family members must be consulted.
But when she saw Chu Guang nodding, she didn't say anything else.
After all, this is also the result she expected, and it may not be a bad thing for those patients participating in the experiment...
Watching Heya return to the isolation ward, Chu Guang looked at Yang Kai.
You also heard that the situation on Blood Mountain will be very difficult for your Alpha Task Force. I guess you will not use physical fitness as an important assessment criterion when selecting team members.
Yang Kai's brow twitched and he coughed.
This is not a difficult task. Just replace the three-defense system with a full-defense system. As long as you do not inhale the external air, you will not be penetrated by that...alpha protozoa.
Do you mean bringing an oxygen cylinder?Chu Guang said with a strange expression, wouldn’t that be too bloated?
Moreover, this thing cannot be transformed from the front line immediately if you want it. It also takes time to transport the equipment from the rear.
If the academy does not prepare similar equipment at all, it must also solve the problem of equipment research and development and production.
Chu Guang's original intention was to change someone to attack the Xueshan position. Whether it was handed over to the Alliance or the Legion, it would be better than letting Alpha Task Force fight against the opponent with terrain punishment where he was not good at.
However, Yang Kai had no intention of giving up at all.
If he retreated at this time, it undoubtedly means admitting that the academy is not good.
Even if friendly forces can understand their difficulties, it cannot change the fact that the college's prestige in the community is damaged.
According to his understanding, the Chief Technology Officer pays great attention to the Muscle Community, not even less than the No. 0 refuge.In other words, this is not a small problem that can be fooled.
He was more willing to let Task Force Alpha give another try than give up.
Anyway, those people are not his students, and he doesn't even know what their names are. If these guys end up trying their best to get rid of that position, it is also a problem of their lack of ability and they can't blame themselves.
After some weighing the pros and cons, Yang Kai suddenly raised up and uttered a word that made Chu Guang stunned.
...If all members were vaccinated with that biological prosthesis, would there be no problem of being infected with Alpha Protozoa?
In theory... I don't know.Chu Guang looked at him in a slight surprise, as if he was watching a madman.
Even if the player can be resurrected, he never instigated the player to try to install a tentacle or something. After all, that thing is not without side effects, such as the healed wound will turn into Xiaoyu's sub-entity, etc.
However, this guy didn't care.
Then give it a try!
Turning his eyes to the isolation ward where the door was closed, Yang Kai said indifferently as if he was comforting himself.
Anyway, they have nothing to lose.
The Beast King in a white robe stared at the foot of the mountain, and a faint smile gradually rose from the corner of his mouth.
No unexpected results.
These old things have been degenerated for too long.
They held the relics of the prosperity era and were immersed in the beautiful dreams of the relics of old civilizations, but they forgot that this place was not the pre-war period when singing and dancing, but the wasteland that was eating raw meat and drinking blood.
As long as they completely abandon the bottom line and fantasy and abandon all things that can be abandoned, even in the face of the encirclement of the decadent old civilization, the young people will not be able to fight.
Alliances are a hassle, but that's all.
They have not given up enough, nor have they been brave enough.
At least not as good as a person who is not a human being.

If it is just a mild infection, the infected person can clear it by relying on his own immunity after he leaves the infected area.But if the immune system is captured and most stem cells are eroded, the infection will become an irreversible state.At that level, the host will undergo macroscopic mutations, and normal cells carrying primitive DNA need to be eliminated, while lesion cells fused with alpha protozoa genetic material become normal... You can roughly understand this.
In other words... are those guys completely helpless?Yang Kai looked at the door behind her with a complicated expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
That can't be said.
Heya's expression hesitated slightly, he glanced at the researcher of the academy, then looked at Chu Guang, and hesitated for a moment and continued.
According to our analysis, the biological analyses produced by Xiaoyu can have the effect of using poison to fight poison.Theoretically, as long as the host still has a little primitive cell, it can use this as a blueprint to create corresponding mimic replicas to replace the lesion limbs, but there will still be a big difference between the mimic body and the primitive body... So whether to use this treatment method, we have to seek their own opinions.
Moreover, Xiaoyu's biological prosthesis is currently only used in a small area within the Shelter No. 404. On the one hand, it is to facilitate observation of side effects, and on the other hand, it is to control risks and prevent widespread social controversy.
Whether to use it outside the residents of Shelter No. 404 also requires the approval of Chu Guang himself, who is the manager of Shelter No. 404.
After understanding the inquiry in Heya's eyes, Chu Guang said after thinking for a moment.
I have no objection, but Xiaoyu's biological anatomy is still in the experimental stage, and all the consequences can only be borne by the experimenter themselves.
Before the establishment of the Mucopoly Community, the contracting parties had already conducted limited data interoperability on topics related to mucopoly research.
Because of the disclosure of relevant data, the college also has some understanding of Xiaoyu's characteristics, otherwise it would be impossible to leave such a big mother nest without paying attention.
Therefore, there is no problem of not leaking secrets. The harmless treatment plan for slime mold itself is the premise that the slime mold research community can be established and its headquarters is located in Qingquan City.
Faced with the option Chu Guang had polished, Yang Kai just thought for a moment and agreed without hesitation.
...We have no objection here. As long as it can play a positive role in the Alpha mother nest on Blood Mountain, try it well.
He does not need to bear any psychological burden to make such a decision. After all, the survivors under the Science and Technology Commission are just tools for the college to achieve their goals.
They have never concealed this, and the survivors who joined the Alpha Task Force have long been aware of their own destiny.
Knowing that they had no chance to become researchers, they made the most rational choice, deleted the part of themselves in their brain tissue very early, and voluntarily devoted themselves to becoming a fruit entity under the huge collection of Alpha Task Force, in exchange for a more decent living standard for themselves and their families.
This is just a transaction, and the price is clearly marked.
After becoming a member of the Alpha Task Force, their bodies no longer belong to them, and the will of their superiors is their will. Even if they die like a worker bee, they will not complain at most. At most, they will show biological instinctive fear when they die, but there will not be too much complaints or hesitation.
However, Hea didn't understand the inside story of the academy and couldn't help but feel a little hesitant about Yang Kai's decisive decision.
In her understanding, at least the patient and his family members must be consulted.
But when she saw Chu Guang nodding, she didn't say anything else.
After all, this is also the result she expected, and it may not be a bad thing for those patients participating in the experiment...
Watching Heya return to the isolation ward, Chu Guang looked at Yang Kai.
You also heard that the situation on Blood Mountain will be very difficult for your Alpha Task Force. I guess you will not use physical fitness as an important assessment criterion when selecting team members.
Yang Kai's brow twitched and he coughed.
This is not a difficult task. Just replace the three-defense system with a full-defense system. As long as you do not inhale the external air, you will not be penetrated by that...alpha protozoa.
Do you mean bringing an oxygen cylinder?Chu Guang said with a strange expression, wouldn’t that be too bloated?
Moreover, this thing cannot be transformed from the front line immediately if you want it. It also takes time to transport the equipment from the rear.
If the academy does not prepare similar equipment at all, it must also solve the problem of equipment research and development and production.
Chu Guang's original intention was to change someone to attack the Xueshan position. Whether it was handed over to the Alliance or the Legion, it would be better than letting Alpha Task Force fight against the opponent with terrain punishment where he was not good at.
However, Yang Kai had no intention of giving up at all.
If he retreated at this time, it undoubtedly means admitting that the academy is not good.
Even if friendly forces can understand their difficulties, it cannot change the fact that the college's prestige in the community is damaged.
According to his understanding, the Chief Technology Officer pays great attention to the Muscle Community, not even less than the No. 0 refuge.In other words, this is not a small problem that can be fooled.
He was more willing to let Task Force Alpha give another try than give up.
Anyway, those people are not his students, and he doesn't even know what their names are. If these guys end up trying their best to get rid of that position, it is also a problem of their lack of ability and they can't blame themselves.
After some weighing the pros and cons, Yang Kai suddenly raised up and uttered a word that made Chu Guang stunned.
...If all members were vaccinated with that biological prosthesis, would there be no problem of being infected with Alpha Protozoa?
In theory... I don't know.Chu Guang looked at him in a slight surprise, as if he was watching a madman.
Even if the player can be resurrected, he never instigated the player to try to install a tentacle or something. After all, that thing is not without side effects, such as the healed wound will turn into Xiaoyu's sub-entity, etc.
However, this guy didn't care.
Then give it a try!
Turning his eyes to the isolation ward where the door was closed, Yang Kai said indifferently as if he was comforting himself.
Anyway, they have nothing to lose.
