Chapter 58 The Weird Way to Open the Door

Then Delto sent someone to pick him up and told him that there was a new breakthrough in the laboratory.

After Fang Linyan followed, he found that when he was sleeping, Delto seemed to have overcome all kinds of dangers and successfully broke into the power supply room.

The perimeter of the entire abandoned laboratory has actually been re-energized. After entering, you can find that the lighting chandeliers before the top of the work area have all been lit. Probably because of disrepair, at least one-third of the ceiling lights are not on. , but also expelled the previous darkness without a trace.

In the tunnel, Delto even set up a lot of traps, booby traps, mines, etc. It seems that they are taking precautions to prevent possible attacks by hostile companies.

After some inquiries, I learned that after receiving the request for help from Delto, the scientific research department of Daklan Company quickly found a countermeasure.

The thing that can turn people into mummy before is a kind of biochemical weapon that the Blood Umbrella Company has developed halfway: it is called Omenides, which is the name of the legendary god of vengeance.

Specifically, Omenides is a strange mutated fungus created by mixing three biological gene fragments.

Of the three parent species that produced this fungus, the most important one was a fungus called the Hemicordyceps group.

They still exist today, parasitizing on what is now a species of ant called the Leythriformis ant. Ants' behavior can be manipulated by secreted chemicals.

After making it to the most suitable environment for fungi reproduction (according to statistics, such places are generally in the north-facing forest, about 25cm from the surface, humidity 94%-95%, temperature 20-30℃), it will start to climb invariably Get on the leaves and bite the leaves with all your jaws.

The more exaggerated scene is yet to come. When the zombie ant bites the leaf, the fungus will quickly destroy the muscle fibers of the ant's jaw and destroy all the mitochondria that generate energy.

In this way, the poor ants with complete muscle weakness can no longer control their jaws and can only be forced to die on the leaves without moving.

This bizarre behavior pattern is called "Death's Bite".

After that, the fungus will begin to proliferate between the soft tissues of the ants, and will soon kill the hosts. When a large number of mycelia multiply in the dead ants' bodies, they will eventually burst the ants' exoskeletons, forming a terrible parasitic scene.

After breaking out, the unilateral Cordyceps fungus on the ant corpse will release spores on this leaf and continue to reproduce offspring.

The entire process can take anywhere from four to ten days.

Another female parent is very famous, called Cordyceps sinensis.

The last female parent is an animal named Gordian nematode, which lives in the body of the praying mantis and can control the host to go to the water, drown the host with water and then drill out of the host.

The biological weapon of Omenides is a collection of three biological gene fragments, which are mainly transmitted through spores. Whether it is contacted or inhaled, the original design concept is that after inhaling its spores, it will quickly absorb the human body. Moisture, secretes a paralyzing toxin that kills it in a short time.

Then absorb the nutrients in the human body, mature in a short period of time, and continue to spread the spores wildly. The maturity cycle is about two and a half hours. Under the ideal state of the original design, Omenides can make the The entire barracks was wiped out.

However, Omenides has never been able to circumvent a very fatal defect, that is, the sudden death of the group due to genetic defects, which is also a common problem of artificial creatures.

This means that when such artificial organisms reproduce for several generations, due to some places that are not considered in the design, there will be mutations, which will directly lead to the sudden demise of the entire population.

This kind of defect is difficult to circumvent. Just like a mule that is a hybrid of a horse and a donkey, it has no reproductive capacity. A liger, which is a hybrid of a tiger and a lion, has obvious defects in IQ and longevity. not long.

The scientific research part specially designed a special countermeasure spray for the defects of Omenides, and then sent it to Delto's team by means of ultra-high-altitude delivery.

This spray contains the nutrients and hormones that Omenides need most, allowing it to multiply in a short period of time, which can easily trigger mutations. After a mutation, a virus targeting genetic defects will be Destroy the Omenides.

However, the missing person has not been found.

When Fang Linyan was sleeping, the surrounding area had been cleaned up, and he also learned some secrets about Veronica's laboratory back then.

The reason why the laboratory is divided into two parts AB is because the part A where they are now hides an amazing secret!

This secret even directly led to the split at the top of the Blood Umbrella Company at that time. Some people invested huge amounts of resources here, while others thought it was not worth investing heavily here.

If it wasn't for this infighting, the blood umbrella company, which was flourishing in the past, was severely damaged. It is difficult to say whether this behemoth would have been forced to split up after being suppressed by the government.

Another secret is that at this time, the nature of the A base where they are located is a research base, while the B base is a logistics base.

The specific location here is not near the Pamir Plateau as Fang Linyan had guessed before, but in the mountains on the south side of the Karakum Desert, 300 kilometers west of the Pamir Plateau.

In Base B, there is a large natural underground river that has been transformed into an underwater channel, which can stretch for nearly 70 kilometers and directly connect to the Caspian Sea!

The supply of the entire base is regularly transported by a mysterious U-shaped submarine.

The trajectory of the submarine is to go upstream from the underwater and enter the estuary of the large dark river two or three hundred meters. It is located underground and has been specially widened.

The Blood Umbrella Company built a large docking terminal here to transport living materials and scientific research materials to the dock, and then transfer them into the logistics base through a series of methods.

With such a concealed method, it is no wonder that this base has not been discovered for so many years.

After hearing what Delto said, Fang Linyan's previous doubts that lingered in his heart were solved. There is a saying that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although he is good at planning, he knows too little information.

At this time, Fang Linyan is almost certain that what Delto knows has not been revealed, but this does not prevent him from changing his plans and seeking greater benefits for himself!

As a result, Fang Linyan contacted the goat again, and after the two sides exchanged information again, a conspiracy started...

***

At this time, Delto brought Fang Linyan to another place.

Behind Delto, the expressionless experimental subjects still followed faithfully.

Where they are now is in front of the main passageway that connects the peripheral work area and the core experimental area.

This gate seems to have been carefully inspected, and it is found that it is made of titanium steel. The surface is as smooth as a mirror. It can be seen that there are some scars on it, but it does not damage its firmness at all.

Delto said to Fang Linyan:

"According to the information we have collected so far, the inner part of Veronica has formed a separate and independent system from the outside world, and it is not even ruled out that the inner layer even has its own special ecological environment cycle."

When Delto said this, Fang Linyan still didn't know what he wanted to express, but he heard Delto continue:

"To open this door, you need a key to open it... You have also read the diary of Longi Hale, do you have any clues?"

Fang Linyan looked around and found that Delto did not bring Ishida with him at this time. This should be the authority of the superior ------- Ishida presided over the development of the peripheral laboratory and knew a lot of things, so the next exploration must be Nothing to do with him-----and Fang Linyan was able to sleep soundly for several hours before, I believe Delto did it on purpose.

After these thoughts flashed in his mind, Fang Linyan looked at the door in front of him and said tentatively:

"Can this thing be broken with violence?"

Delto said lightly:

"The experts at the headquarters believe that this method should not be used unless it is absolutely necessary, because according to their analysis, there is a small amount of nerve fibers similar to the inside of this door, and it still maintains a considerable degree of activity."

"That is to say, it can be regarded as a semi-living body with intelligence. If violence is used, it is likely to select an optimal plan from the database and make us lose everything."

Fang Linyan pondered for a while and said:

"If there are clues... there are still a lot of them, can you show me this door?"

Delto said:

"sure. "

Fang Linyan nodded, and walked forward under the leadership of Kaur next to him. He first observed the gate and felt that it was really impeccable, and there was absolutely no room to drill.

Immediately afterwards, Kaur took him to the side, and found that there was still a small passage here, only about five or six meters deep.

At the end of the small passage, there was a box the size of a coffin, the material of which was like wood and stone, with mysterious patterns engraved on the surface.

And on this box, three strange giant palms stretched out, and they were arranged unevenly. The surface of each palm had the same texture as wood grain, and only had three fingers.

If you look closely, you will know the essence of these giant palms. It is similar to the gear handle of a car. You can hold it and pull it at will. In other words, in order to successfully open the door, you must pull these three giant palms to a certain position!

Faced with such a situation, Fang Linyan only understood one thing, that is why Delto has a relevant programming expert here, so he still has to find himself, because this kind of password, to be honest, has completely exceeded the scope of programs and computers. , No matter how sharp an expert is!
