It seems that this is Brother Dao's last trump card. After destroying these living missiles, it must not be able to produce any decent troops.
Chu Jungui ordered the security troops to return to their positions, while the rest continued to speed up the cracking progress. He had just breathed a sigh of relief when suddenly the alarm sounded again, this time from the surveillance equipment. The activity of all manufacturing platforms is declining rapidly, and scientists are instantly in a hurry.
Chu Jungui rushed to the console and connected himself to the data network. He immediately discovered that the activity of the tissue cells on the war beast manufacturing platform was more than ten times higher than before. They were frantically producing and distributing an enzyme that would Breaks down a key protein in cells and completely destroys the genetic structure.
One scientist lost his voice: "What is this? Suicide?"
"Do you even need to ask?" Another scientist said without raising his head.
"Suicide at the cellular level?"
"Don't forget, our opponent is originally a single-celled life."
When Chu Jungui thought about it at this time, he suddenly understood what Brother Dao was doing with those living missiles. The sound waves they release are a signal that initiates the self-destruction of the manufacturing platform.
Scientists have tried their best, but they still can't stop the rapid spread of the enzyme. As long as one cell starts to produce suicide enzymes, in a blink of an eye, a large number of surrounding cells will all produce suicide enzymes.
Even the manufacturing station, which was mostly filled into jars, was a little slow in severing the last blood vessel, and was infiltrated by the suicide enzyme, and spread rapidly.
On the screen in front of Chu Jungui, the high platform was quickly being dyed in dark gray, which represented suicide enzymes, and gray began to appear one by one inside, too many to count.
Chu Jungui sighed.
At this time, the chief scientist raised his head, his forehead covered with sweat, and he helplessly shook his head at Chu Jungui.
"Is there nothing you can do?" Chu Jungui asked in a deep voice.
"No more. This enzyme will convert the genetic protein into the same enzyme as its own. Every cell will produce hundreds or thousands of enzymes after death. The most powerful virus in human history is not so virulent."
Chu Jungui asked again: "How much data has been collected?"
"71% of the expected progress has been completed."
"Is it enough?"
"It's still a little bit short, but we have figured out most of the mechanisms, and the necessary samples have been left behind. When we go back, as long as we find the fragment of the gene that makes the suicide enzyme and remove it, it will be possible to copy it again. Come to Taiwan."
Chu Jungui's face looked better. After thinking about it, he arranged for people to collect as many valuable things as possible, and then the tank troops escorted the samples back to Base No. 2. He himself led all the Arks to set off again to raid Brother Dao's next lair.
Chu Jungui had already given up the pursuit, but Brother Dao had to give him a reason, and Chu Jungui had no choice but to accept it.
The six Arks were rushing at full speed, not even considering the issue of opening a road.
After the mountainous area continued for several hundred kilometers, the terrain gradually became flat, and eventually an endless plain appeared. On the plains, the ark's speed can be increased to its maximum, and the last 100 kilometers can be completed in less than an hour. In the blink of an eye, the beast's nest appeared in front of the Ark's cannon.
Unlike other beast's nests, this beast's nest is a mound higher than the ground, with obvious traces of artificial construction. There are several holes of different sizes on the mound.
There were a few war beasts coming in and out of the cave entrance, seemingly acting at will. There were no special instructions, nor did they appear to be on alert.
Chu Jungui felt something bad in his heart. With a thought, several rapid-fire cannonballs flew out, blowing the wandering war beasts into pieces. However, despite such a loud movement, the entire beast mound was still quiet, except for a few stray beasts that were frightened away.
Chu Jungui drove the ark slowly towards the beast hill, and almost reached the entrance of the cave, but still no war beast appeared.
A commando team disembarked from the ark, entered the cave entrance, and began to explore. After a while, a soldier came back to report: "There is nothing inside, all systems and facilities have been... destroyed. The situation is very bad, there is rot everywhere, it is simply a pit of rotten flesh."
After hearing the report, Chu Jungui jumped out of the ark, led a commando team, and entered the cave. He had to see it with his own eyes to know what was going on.
The entrance to this cave is unusually tall, at least 20 meters high, and the internal passage is also at the same height. It seems that this is a passage specifically for giant beasts to enter and exit. And behemoths like the giant spiny beast can't get in.
There was a thick layer of biological tissue everywhere in the passage, but it was all starting to rot. Chu Jungui walked to the cave wall and stabbed it gently with his sword, and several pieces of rotten flesh immediately fell out. These biological tissues are in such a state of decay that they have no research value at all.
When you see the entrance of the cave, you can imagine what it will be like inside. Chu Jungui walked along the passage and entered a huge and empty space in a blink of an eye. This is a huge space with a radius of several hundred meters and a height of nearly a hundred meters. It is supported only by a giant pillar in the center and there are no other pillars.
The ground was covered with rotten biological tissues, and the warriors who explored first could only move around the edges of the carrion ground. They established a foothold, set up several light sources, and slowly and carefully explored the sides of the cave wall.
The commando who led the way said: "The carrion is completely rotten and cannot bear weight at all. Now we have no idea how deep it is, so we can only explore it in a safe zone temporarily. This thing requires large machinery to come in to clean it."
Chu Jun returned to the hall and took two steps. His feet immediately sank deep into the carrion until he was knee deep. Chu Jungui stepped back again and saw that the surrounding carrion slowly spread over and covered the footprints. After a while, the footprints disappeared completely.
Chu Jungui pondered for a moment, squatted down, picked up a piece of carrion with his sword and looked at it carefully. These biological tissues have been completely rotten and turned into a kind of colloid mixed with a large number of fibers.
The smell of this underground space can be imagined. Fortunately, the armor's respiratory system is completely internally circulated, otherwise no one among the soldiers would be able to enter.
But there were no bugs in the carrion, and there were no signs of any kind of mold. It seems that the taste of these biological tissues is not very good, and even insects are too lazy to visit them.
Subsequent engineers and scientists began to take samples, explore the terrain, and formulate plans for further exploration.
Ark temporarily built several engineering vehicles and began to explore and dig the beast mound. After cleaning up the carrion in an area, the scientists finally concluded that the carrion was the product of the self-destruction of the platform created by the war beast.
In other words, this place was originally a war beast lair, but Brother Dao abandoned it and destroyed all the facilities here.
If Brother Dao is not caught in this beast's nest, there will be no clues later. We can only wait for a new wave of beasts to appear before trying to find a way to track him. Chu Jungui didn't expect Brother Dao to be so slick and run away so thoroughly.
After searching for another day, Chu Jungui had to give up and return to the beast's nest in the valley.
