Luo Yu: "What the hell?!"
Thunder and Lightning Dharma King Professor Yang: "What's wrong with you?"
Luo Yu: "Let's go!!!"
Feng Qing: "0.0?"
Guigui: "What?"
Luo Yu: "The countdown to resurrection has started again! Hahahahaha! Thank you, Brother Guang! Oh no!"
What do you think I can do for you: "Smile, you continue to act, you are acting pretty well, so I will just watch you pretending to be cool."
Yin Leina: "Jealousy will indeed make people separate. (Funny)"
Elf King Fugui: "+1 (funny)" at the same time.
Vault 404. A group of heavily armed players were standing at the entrance to the B6 floor of the shelter.
What is certain now is that the entire B6 floor should be a laboratory, and it is a biological laboratory engaged in the study of mutant slime mold. There are various indications that most of the samples studied here come from the early days of the Wasteland Era, or even the three-year war period even further back.
It is obvious from the incomplete recording that the escaped experimental subject should be difficult to deal with, and even extremely dangerous! Otherwise, all the guards on the floor would not have been wiped out, forcing the first-generation managers to perform "shock treatment" on the entire floor.
Of course Chu Guang would not do anything like probing into the grass, especially knowing that there were landmines hidden in the grass.
What's more, he clearly has a group of young players who are not afraid of death, why do he have to do such dangerous things by himself? At the same time that the Beta 0.4 version was officially updated, the players who were selected by Chu Guang to come here all had a line of task pop-ups on the VM on their arms.
[Mission: Recover the B6 floor of Shelter 404]
[Explanation: The experimental subject stored on the B6 floor of Vault 404 went out of control, causing the floor to be infected by slime mold. 】
[Target:
1. Search for possible mother bodies/mother nests.
2. Go to the laboratory to collect the experiment log.
3. Go to the computer room to search for unuploaded data.
The blue icon flashing on the VM screen confirmed the task just received from the manager, and Ye Shi's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Awesome! I didn't expect to receive such a big job in the rear!"
The Sunset Province is the home of the Storm Troops and the Skeleton Troops.
The Burning Legion has a small number of people, and its home field is in the city, not the open plains. Therefore, the entire war is almost a soy sauce, and there is no sense of participation at all.
The game has been on the official website forum for so long, which can be regarded as an opportunity for him to show off.
Quiting, who was following Guangfeng, stared at the VM screen and suddenly thought: "Do you think the out-of-control experimental subject could be Luo Yu?"
A smile that couldn't help but smile appeared on the expressionless face, Guangfeng touched the bridge of his nose and said.
"...It's possible, unless there is a time machine that can travel back 100 years."
Quit smoking: "Holy shit! Is there a time machine?!"
Bang Feng: "...can you listen carefully to what I have to say?"
Looking at the plaque covering the wall, Ye Shi couldn't help but smack his tongue. "Oh my god...this thing has been cut off from water, electricity and air for so long, but it can still move!"
Bangfeng looked around and pondered for a moment.
"Well, it also disabled most of the cameras and 85% of the electronic equipment in the area... The situation here may be more complicated than we imagined."
"It doesn't matter if it's complicated or not, just do it and it's done!"
Equipped with the 0D-10 "Dragoon" power armor, Lao Bai grinned, raised his index finger to lock the visor of his helmet, and loaded the assault rifle in his hand.
Then he shouted loudly in the communication channel.
"The mission has been updated in vm, our goal is to regain the occupied B6 area!"
"Team A is following me, searching for the enemy's "crystals" and injecting inhibitors to contain them.
Team B followed Ye Shi to the sample library to search for experimental logs.
Team C followed the strong wind to the computer room and took away the hard drive storing experimental data and information according to the task prompts. ”
"After the task is completed, we gather at the entrance of the buffer workshop and make sure the signal is open at all times. The manager is watching us!"
"Action!" The players tacitly divided into three teams and cautiously moved forward to search.
As an elite squad with the highest combat power in the entire server, the Burning Corps is naturally very good at performing such special operations missions. No one is better at indoor close-range combat than them. At the same time, Chu Guang, who was sitting in the browsing room on the B4 floor, was following his players deep into this out-of-control biological laboratory through the camera equipment carried by the players.
In addition to him, Yin Fang and Heya were also invited here as "technical consultants" for this military operation, providing players with professional advice when necessary. However, from the beginning of the operation, Hea's attention was completely fascinated by this large-scale and well-equipped laboratory.
That look is more than heart-warming.
Even to the point of envy - even jealousy. "I don't understand! How much is your budget?! You are clearly behind us, why...are there so many good things?"
Facing that sour look, Chu Guang didn't know how to answer, so he simply pretended not to see it. Ask him about things before the Wasteland Era and he has a hammer.
If you want to know, ask the first-generation managers!
Yin Fang, staring at the computer screen and focusing on other things, touched his chin and gave the first immature suggestion of this operation. "...Actually, I recommend sending in the android troops, so that even if something goes wrong, it won't provide more organic matter to the organisms there."
Chu Guang replied casually. "I believe in my soldiers, they are much easier to use than androids."
He Ya and Yin Fang both looked at Chu Guang in surprise, especially when they heard the word "use". However, the latter had an indifferent expression and stared intently at the video on the screen.
While chatting just now, "Team A" led by Lao Bai had already engaged the enemy.
And what’s interesting is that the slime mold fruiting bodies they encountered were completely different from the group of fruiting bodies in Qingquan City. A bunch of skinny humanoid fruiting bodies, just like the walking dead in zombie movies.
But it is different from those "zombie". These gnawing-looking fruiting bodies do not appear densely, but hide silently in the corners of corridors and behind overturned display cabinets.
He would even lie on the ground and pretend to be dead. It will not be awakened until someone approaches, and then attack suddenly, turning this happy RPG game into a horror game.
The advancement speed of Player Team A and Team C slowed down significantly. Team B, led by Ye Shi, relied on its strong perception to predict the hidden dangers time and time again, and quickly advanced to the storage experiment. Log area.
However, although the fruiting entities unexpectedly attacked one after another, the players did not suffer any battle losses, and no one was injured. Those skinny walking zombies can at best scare the players.
No matter how weak the protection of the light cavalry's exoskeleton is, it will not be broken into pieces by the thin arm like a reed stick or bitten through by a few rotten teeth. Not to mention power armor.
In front of battleship-grade alloy steel, weak flesh and blood are like paper lakes.
Lao Bai didn't even fire a shot. He directly pulled out the mace hanging on the armor and smashed the walking corpse that rushed up to pieces with two bangs. In a battle at such an extreme distance, firing hastily can easily cause ricochet, and pulling the trigger reflexively can easily injure teammates. In contrast, cold weapons are easier to use.
"It is estimated that the long closed period resulted in the slime mold in this area not having enough nutrients to develop more powerful fruiting bodies, coupled with the lack of hunting demand...these fruiting bodies are produced entirely for scavenging and energy conservation. ." Hea touched his chin and fell into deep thought.
After receiving the promise from Chu Guang to "leave the B6 floor to her for use," she finally focused on the slime mold on the floor. Chu Guang thought for a moment before speaking.
"The lack of organic matter prevents the slime mold here from secreting large amounts of spores... Hey, why do I feel that this is the same as slime mold No. 7 in the Lost Valley?" Yin Fang also nodded.
"The difference is only in the degree of wealth... Lost Valley is a desert, and this is equivalent to a space station that cuts off supplies." Chu Guang suddenly looked at Heya.
"Wait a minute, you said before... slime molds born in different evolutionary environments are incompatible with each other and will not exchange each other's genetic information. But what if slime molds were also born in an environment with scarce resources? Or in other words, are slime molds with similar evolutionary environments compatible with each other?"
He knew that the problem he described was a bit awkward. After all, he was not a professional biologist and his wording was relatively unprofessional, and the idea that just popped up was also very abstract in his mind. Hea thought carefully for a while and replied.
"In the situation you mentioned, interspecific competition and genetic information exchange should occur at the same time...or to put it more directly, it is engulfment."
Chu Guang: "Swallow?"
"Well," Hea nodded, "It's just my guess. If a and b are different varieties that evolved in an environment where materials were scarce, then a and b will always have a part of each other's genetic material. The other party happens to be interested...
At this time, that part of the genetic material will be inherited actively or passively after one party devours the other. ”
"The genetic information of slime mold is not a simple line of code, but more like a "library" composed of countless lines of code."
"When cultivating fruiting bodies, the brood or mother body will select a required genetic code from this library to make the fruiting bodies it needs. Even if the number of chromosomes of the gnawer and the tyrant are different, they are born from the same They still belong to the same collective in the mother nest. In this case, they are not individuals in the complete sense, but more like organs of a huge individual... This is what I call a hive society.
"If you want to fully understand this kind of creature, you must obtain their mother body and collect the original gene library used to synthesize fruiting bodies. That is the root of all fruiting bodies and the template for all evolved bodies.
Just when Heya was popularizing science like Chu Guang, the players who went deep into the B6 layer finally encountered real trouble.
A shrill roar suddenly swept from the end of the corridor. I saw a gray-black power armor standing at the end of the corridor.
Its stature is burly, not inferior to the "Dragon Cavalry" power armor, and even surpasses it in terms of physique. Judging from the faded paint, it should be a police model. The moment he saw the armor, Lao Bai's heart wrinkled with alarm.
The mace in his hand was thrown violently, like a meteor hitting the face of the powered armor. With the dual bonus of strength attribute and armor engine, even if a tank were to block it, it would still be smashed into a dent.
However, the powered armor just shook its arm and knocked away the speeding hammer. There was no pause in the movement. The legs of the powered medium-armor bent forward slightly, and then it rushed over like a cannonball. Lao Bai raised the rifle in his hand and emptied a bunch of bullet clips, but did not leave a single dent on the armor.
Seeing that the 7mm bullet could not break through its defense, Lao Bai simply threw away the rifle in his hand and pulled out the hot-melt cutting ax hanging from his waist. However.........
The evolved body was still one step ahead of him. Before the ax was lifted, the shoulder armor of the evolved body came into close contact with his breastplate.
"Duang--------------!"
The two Iron Knuckles collided together, and the sound of metal collision echoed in the corridor. They were too close to support each other, and the three teammates behind them could only watch the two gods fight. His right hand was tightly held by the left arm of the evolved body. Lao Bai, who almost fell down, managed to stabilize his body. He looked at the gap on the side of the helmet, pulled out the combat knife with his left hand, held it backwards, and stabbed it with a sudden blow!
The air flow carried by the arm had almost blown into the helmet, but the arm that was smashed down was held up by the other arm of the evolved body. The bright blades of the sword and ax hung on the helmet, but they could not move forward at all.
Shocking pieces of flesh squirmed under the broken armor, and the unused nuclear energy was transformed by the slime mold into the most primitive and direct power. From the gap in the broken armor, Lao Bai faintly saw a scarlet light.
That's the predator's sight. Behind the killing and bloodthirsty instincts, burning is an appetite that is more terrifying than hatred.
It is very hungry...
Lao Bai felt a little bit of difficulty when his arms were clamped. While he pressed down with all his strength, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
This guy----is even harder to deal with than the Decayed Knight!
"Grass!" The blood surged in his chest! Lao Bai roared and activated his strength talent. The strength of his hands doubled instantly, and the edges of the ax blade and dagger were pressed down an inch.
The mechanical components of the power armor on both sides made an overwhelmed creaking sound. The evolved body occupying the power armor was forced to take half a step back, and an impatient and harsh scream emerged from the gaps in the armor.
While it was backing up, Lao Bai kicked it on the knee.
Under the terrifying strength, the knees that were bent outwards were forced to fold backwards.
The evolved body lost its balance and fell to the side. Lao Bai then stabbed its head with a dagger and stirred it violently.
However, unexpectedly, the guy whose brain was stabbed acted as if nothing happened.
Lao Bai suddenly felt enlightened. This guy's nerve center is not in his head!
Maybe there is no such thing at all! "Keep the distance!"
Ye Shi's voice suddenly came from the communication channel.
Lao Bai was overjoyed, and before the evolved body could stabilize its body, he kicked it in the chest again, knocking it to the ground and staggering backwards.
The rotten and thick alloy arm clasped the wall on one side, and the stiff fingers scratched the wall with a tooth-piercing friction sound.
At the moment when the two powered armors pulled away, Ye Shi, who was lying at the end of the corridor, setting up the "Viper" Gauss rifle, had already completed his aim and pulled the trigger.
"Bang------!" The light of the arc flashed for an instant, and the mass bullet burst out of the barrel was instantly accelerated to Mach 4.5, and the roar of the sonic boom echoed throughout the corridor.
The attack comes from behind! Target the most vulnerable areas of the power armor.
The evolved body had no time to react. The durability of its neglected armor was already stretched thin. Faced with the terrifying armor-piercing ability of the electromagnetic gun, it was instantly shot through. And at the same time that the evolved body was staggered forward by the kinetic energy of the mass bomb, Lao Bai, who seized the opportunity, violently swung the melt cutting ax and slashed it with the axe. A hot red light flashed.
The air flow as hot as magma instantly cut open the armor on the left shoulder of the evolved body, poured in through the cracks in the armor, and instantly burned the soft tissue inside to charcoal. The scarlet light finally faded away, and the evolved body knelt heavily on the ground and stopped moving.
Ye Shi, who put away his rifle, stepped forward, glanced at the evolved body lying on the ground, and said in disbelief.
"Good guy... Slime mold can actually use power armor!"
Unlike the "Decay Knight", the nuclear battery of this power armor is obviously still working, but most of the electronic components inside the armor have been damaged.
"They can even drive Titans, let alone power armor..." Lao Bai walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Great job! Have you already done it over there?" Ye Shi He said with a smile.
"It's done... The mother body is not in the laboratory, and there is nothing there. We took away the experimental log there under the instructions of the manager, and then he ordered us to go around this corridor to provide support. You...what about you?"
Lao Bai shook his head.
"Not found... We have searched most of the area, and we haven't even seen the shadow of the mother body."
Ye Shi was stunned for a moment.
"Is it at the strong wind?" Almost as soon as the words fell, a pop-up window flashed on the VMs of the players.
After seeing the text in the pop-up window clearly, Ye Shi's expression suddenly changed. "Fuck...my crow's mouth is open!"
Lao Bai didn't waste any time. He reached out and picked up the rifle on the ground and the mace he had thrown out before. "Let's go! Help him!"
...B6 floor. Biological laboratory computer room. I saw rows of chassis displayed on metal shelves, completely engulfed by dark red slime mold.
The room covering an area of several hundred square meters was filled with squirming bacteria. The entire computer room seemed to have turned into a sea of slime molds. There was no place to stay under the steps at the front entrance!
A series of translucent egg-shaped flesh-red films floated on this ocean, like cocoons made of silk, stirring restlessly.
"It" seems to have just woken up.
I am excited about the sudden recovery of the "climate" and the prey that has not visited for a long time!
Looking at the scene in front of them, Guangfeng and the teammates behind him had a blank expression on their faces. Swallowing, he quit smoking and looked at the smartest guy in the team.
"How...how to recycle this?" Kuangfeng shook his head solemnly.
"I don't know..." The chassis has been completely submerged by the ocean of slime mold. The chassis after chassis are completely stuck. Not to mention finding the hard drive hidden in a certain chassis, even how to access the rows of chassis is difficult. is a problem.
I always felt like something would go wrong if I stepped on these slime molds. After thinking for a moment, Bangfeng analyzed calmly.
"Anyway, we have to clean up the slime mold here first... I'm afraid this is not an ordinary slime mold nest, maybe it is a shrunken mother's nest."
Including quitting smoking, the three players standing behind Guangfeng whispered.
"If I read correctly, the mission requires us to recover this guy..."
"Recycle? This has turned into a **** swimming pool... No matter how many inhibitors are used to stun it, how do we get it out of this house?"
"If you're tired, just blow up."
"It's impossible to explode...the experimental data we need to recover is still in the hard drive of one of the chassis."
Players on a mission are in a dilemma.
The same goes for Chu Guang, who was sitting in the viewing room watching the game. It's easy to get rid of the brood there. It's enough to allow players to bring heavy weapons into the B6 floor and insert a 155 into it to detonate it manually.
If one shot is not enough, use two.
Detonate a heavy grenade in a closed environment, and the shock wave generated by the explosion alone is enough to kill the organisms in the room several times.
But the trouble is, the data stored in those chassis...
Because the transmission line was damaged, the data could not be uploaded to the shelter's server remotely, and the hard drive in the server could only be removed manually.
Don’t say you can’t use powerful weapons.
I am afraid that pouring gasoline, pouring sulfuric acid, etc. will not work. At this moment, Yin Fang suddenly felt something in his heart.
"What if we fight fire with fire?"
Chu Guang was stunned for a moment.
"Fight fire with fire?" Yin Fang nodded excitedly, gesturing with his index finger while describing the genius idea he had just come up with.
"For example...introducing another mother body from the outside, using the incompatibility characteristics of different populations of slime mold, and letting the mother body deal with the mother body!" Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
Good guy, drive away the wolf and devour the tiger! This idea... is surprisingly good. Then just when he was about to speak to express his affirmation, Hea, who was standing aside with his arms folded, sighed,
"Where are you going to get the mother body? The mother body closest to us is also in the city center." Yin Fang was stunned for a moment.
Yan "Isn't the kind of nest that can produce gnawers the mother's body?"
"Those things are called incubators!" Hea complained. "They do not store the complete gene pool of the entire population. At most, they can be regarded as production organs and signal relays for producing certain products! They are separated from the mother's body. Or the mother nest is covered with spores, and they will shrink in a short time. If you get that thing in, it will at best serve as fertilizer for the slime mold inside."
Having said this, Hea, who was still obsessed with the ruins of Oasis No. 7, added another sentence immediately after.
"However, this idea is not entirely a bad idea. I heard that there seems to be a relatively benign mutant slime mold in the Lost Valley... If we can get the mother body there, maybe we can not only eliminate the slime mold on the B6 layer , and you can also get a group of benign bacteria!"
This is indeed a good idea.
It would be better if there wasn't that Titan.
He beat the head off a monster that couldn’t be killed by a nuclear bomb!
Pretending not to see the bright eyes, Chu Guang coughed slightly and looked at Yin Fang standing aside. "Hea is right...this method is still open to question."
Hea: "Well, what I want to express is actually -----"
Chu Guang interrupted her and continued.
"In short, before deciding what measures to take to solve the slime mold there, we should first investigate the experimental logs to see whether the research results there are worth the risk we take."
With that said, Chu Guang looked at Xiao Qi sitting on the desk and ordered. "Xiao Qi, ask the team on the B6 floor to withdraw with the experiment log." Xiao Qi put his right fist on his chest and replied playfully. "Received!"
The mission is half done.
True enough, only half of the rewards Chu Guang gave to the players were given out.
Insert the memory card that holds the experiment log into the holographic computer pen, and a blue holographic image is quickly projected in the center of the reading room.
The first thing played is a holographic image.
In the image, there is a strange man standing, talking to someone outside the camera. He was wearing a shelter uniform, with the characters [G-13] printed on the label on his chest, which should be his number.
From a filming perspective, neither he nor the person he was talking to realized they were being secretly filmed. "...This planet has been polluted, in other words, it is hopeless."
"This is a more cruel method of extermination than neutron killing. These slime molds are designed to destroy us and are more adapted to our homes than we are. They will not kill us directly, but will The place where we live grows wildly, chasing our footprints and squeezing our living space. Our descendants can only abandon the city and migrate to the suburbs, or stay and become their fertilizer!"
“The legacy we leave to our children will eventually dry up. As the level of production continues to decrease, this planet will no longer have the soil to accommodate advanced production relations, and our civilization will grow in the opposite direction. First it declined to feudal society, then to slave society, and finally to tribe...
Until we turn into beasts and are eventually replaced by something even more savage. ”
"Yes, our black box is still working, but what about a thousand years from now? What about ten thousand years from now? Once the trend is formed, it will be difficult to reverse. If these problems cannot be solved now, the situation will only get worse in the future. Oops... By then, let alone a professional biology laboratory, our descendants may not even be able to build a microscope, so how can they study those things?"
"This is not alarmist. In fact, the regression of civilization has begun before winter is over. Look at the community we monitored. Is it called "Bloody Hands" or something...
I bet that even if they survive this winter, those people will not be smarter than monkeys! ”
"The seeds of barbarism have invaded their brains, and they will become the source of chaos. Like the ancient nomads, they will use the most primitive methods to plunder the wealth of civilized people. At least the survivors in this suburb cannot escape from them. Devil's Claw."
"I don't understand why the professor acquiesced to the guard, risked exposing the location of the shelter, and used precious radios to help those hopeless idiots... No matter what his purpose, the guard committed suicide , his plan undoubtedly failed, but I can't put my chips on a loser!"
"But he is a manager, or do you have any better ideas?" The man standing opposite Researcher G-13 finally made a voice, and the whole image was no longer a one-man show by Researcher G-13. .
Perhaps seeing the heartbeat on the man's face, Researcher G-13 continued with excitement.
"Of course!"
"Slime molds are very adaptable. We will be stronger than them. It will not be us who will be swallowed, but them!" The man continued to ask hesitantly.
"How do you plan to do it?" "Synthetic matrix!" The G-13yx researcher answered with a decisive voice, and his idea was actually the same as the immature idea Yin Fang proposed before. An unexpected coincidence.
“We can cultivate mature somatic cells into embryonic stem cells, and we can also reversely restore mature fruiting bodies into mother nests!”
"We will recompile the gene pool of the brood and let them change into our shape under our interference!"
Those childish holes. The network shines with ambition. Researcher G-13 continued speaking in a steady voice.
"They will replace slime molds on the surface!"
"And we will control evolution!"
Remember in 1 second:
