The sea monster's counterattack was fierce, as night was their season for violence.
But in the past they did not attack Hongmei Mountain, at most they only attacked Yapao Mountain.
Qiao Xuejun entered the outpost closest to the wall and could check the situation outside through one of the observation windows.
She also grabbed a pair of night vision binoculars.
Beneath the field of purple flowers, a group of colorful sea monsters are trying to rush in.
They rushed forward without hesitation and plunged into the purple flower field. After entering, they froze and did not move, having been poisoned by purple flower alkaloids.
But there are still sea monsters behind them rushing forward.
Qiao Xuejun observed through night vision binoculars. The damage to the purple flower fields wasn't serious. Although there were many sea monsters, they were all small creatures with limited lethality.
It's just that they are willing to give it their all, one wave after another, filling up continuously.
Two meters outside the purple flower field was filled up, and the outer edge was the motionless body of a sea monster.
It's just that Qiao Xuejun deliberately expanded the purple flower field. After so long, the purple flower's own reproductive ability is strong enough, and now it is 10 meters deep.
Most of the inner purple flower protection belt has not been filled in by the sea monster.
But looking at this trend, these sea monsters are quite crazy and seem determined to fill up these purple flower protective belts.
Fill it with their lives.
The two patrol soldiers beside Qiao Xuejun said, "They're really fighting hard."
Another soldier said anxiously, "The key is that our purple flower fields have been depleted! They are all used for making medicine. We dare not blow them up."
If we bombed them with artillery, we would surely destroy the entire field of purple flowers. We could only shoot them one by one, but there were too many of them, and it felt like a waste of bullets.
Zhao Xian led his men to the inner side of the purple flower field and used firepower to suppress the sea monsters, preventing them from getting any closer.
The system said: "This feels like the work of book consciousness."
Qiao Xuejun pursed her lips. This was obvious. Forcing these less mutated, unintelligent sea monsters to cause trouble had two benefits for it: one was to consume the raw materials of the purple flower, and the other was to consume ammunition.
Even consuming the raw materials of purple flowers can have two benefits. One is that it knows that purple flowers are the key to solving the problem of mutation. It does not allow the cultivation of purple flowers and wants to completely abolish purple flower planting to save sea monsters and mutants.
The second is to weaken the base's defense so that the sea monster can come in and attack the base.
In short, it uses the unnecessary little Karami to weaken the power of the human camp.
Qiao Xuejun: "It has a fungus source, which is like an endless ammunition depot. With this thing, it can create pawns who will fight for it."
It's almost free of charge, and the book consciousness doesn't need to expend any energy. Just let these seafood go to the source of the bacteria and they will become sea monsters.
Qiao Xuejun instructed Zhao Xian over the intercom, "Don't worry about this patch of purple flowers. I've also planted a batch next to the experimental field, and that's enough for the lab. You can discard this batch."
Qiao Xuejun was afraid that in order to protect the purple flower field, he would not be willing to fire artillery shells with a wide killing range.
Zhao Xian replied, "I understand."
He suddenly changed his order: "Attention, all units, abandon the return fire now."
give up?
The expressions of the other patrol soldiers changed, but they did not question Zhao Xian's words.
"yes!"
The gunfire stopped immediately.
All that was left was the sound of shrimps and crabs squeaking and rolling forward, and the sound of waves pouring in.
Because there was no counterattack, they became more active and entered the purple flower fields in batches, and were paralyzed by the purple flower alkali.
For small sea monsters like this one, purpurogenol can make them unable to move for more than an hour. However, if they cannot move for more than an hour, they will not be able to breathe enough oxygen, and thus they will die.
Zhao Xian: "Brothers, if we can extract some information glands from these bastards, we can stay quiet for a while."
Qiao Xuejun suddenly realized that this was what Zhao Xian was planning.
These low-level variants are difficult to extract from the information gland, but the probability of extraction is low, not impossible. As long as the basic number is large enough, there will definitely be some scale.
The sea monsters are still coming one after another.
The sky gradually brightened.
Qiao Xuejun could see clearly without the night vision telescope that there seemed to be a lot of sea monsters queuing up to enter from behind, and they continued to fill the purple flower field.
Where exactly is book consciousness?
Qiao Xuejun: "I don't want to wait any longer."
Now these sea monsters have become more aggressive. Before, they only harassed the Mute Mountain, but now they are harassing the Red Plum Mountain.
How can I cope with being harassed by them every day?
The sea monsters have so many lives to fill, but the human camp doesn't. Everyone needs to rest, not run around like this.
Qiao Xuejun asked the system, "I want to find the source of the fungus and have people guard it to prevent other sea monsters from approaching until the research lab figures out something. Or I could just physically destroy it, like knocking down their blue crystal ore hotbeds or destroying the fungal mats that spread it. Is that possible?"
The research laboratory said that the spread ability of the fungus source is related to the blue crystal ore and fungal mat.
Last time in the Purple Flower Cave, she discovered that the blue stone was quite easy to destroy and would break with just a knock.
Even if an antidote is not developed, can this method be used to solve everything?
The system said: "If we find it, we will stay nearby and I will be able to restrict the book's consciousness."
It continued, "The method you mentioned can temporarily solve the problem, but it's only a stopgap measure. Ultimately, we still have to rely on researchers to develop a drug specifically for them. After all, these bacteria have survived extinction since ancient times, and ordinary methods can't kill them. They're likely to revive, including in the ecosystems they inhabit."
Qiao Xuejun: "Resurrection? In other words, even if I knock off those blue crystal stones and fungal blankets now, it won't work? There's even a chance they'll grow back?"
System: “Yes.”
Qiao Xuejun frowned and said, "It doesn't matter. Just knock them out first. When they grow back, knock them out again. When they grow back, knock them out again. Until the lab develops a drug."
System: "That's a good idea. If it doesn't work, I can still control it. As long as I keep watch, the book's consciousness won't dare to show its head. I will devour it!"
"However, there is one more important point." The system's voice became increasingly serious. "We need to take Shen Xingtang with us. Otherwise, we will stay at the source of the fungus, but it will go looking for Shen Xingtang."
Qiao Xuejun: "Okay. After this trip is over, we'll go straight to its lair."

"Does your trick work?"
In a wet pool of water, a large octopus made a gurgling sound.
A blue ball of light appeared in front of it, flashing. "You're right to listen to me. They don't dare to come. We'll exhaust them to death."
