Chapter 391
Chapter 391
In the Koria Forest, a border army squad that received clues and intelligence from the Mecha Division was locking onto the constantly moving pollutant on the radar. As one of the only three S-level pollutants in the Koria contaminated area and the only pollutant in the forest area, this pollutant enjoyed unique treatment on the radar.
Before the captain of the border army squad who had lost contact with Luo Xu could say anything, he saw in a corner of the swamp forest that a small team of unique Mecha Alliance mecha divisions were flying over the forest, while another team was lurking in the forest, chasing at a very fast speed the forest spiders in front of them that were constantly shuttling through the forest using spider silk.
S-class forest spiders are a rare species in the Koria polluted area. The spider silk they spray has a rare compatibility and can be used as the main material for mecha bearing parts. The adjusted sharpness of the spider silk can even be used to make some special weapons. The currently registered ability is [Spider Silk Binding]. Its spider web is poisonous, and the spider silk can kill pollutants. It is a first-class overlord in the Koria forest area. Occasionally, if a mecha comes in for patrol, it will chase and kill it.
And now, this S-class facade pollutant, which was taken care of and cultivated by Kolya, did not rush up to tangle with the mecha when it encountered it. Instead, it ran faster than ever. The spider silk that it used for hunting in the past has now become its weapon of escape, and it hastily escaped from the combo of the mecha master's weapons.
"What's going on?!" the captain of the border army squad was puzzled.
The border soldier who arrived here first said: "I don't know, it seems that the mecha masters of the Mecha Alliance just had an encounter with the forest spider, and the spider ran away. Then those mecha masters said categorically that the king insect was in that spider!"
The border troops came for the king of the wireworms. Since it was said that there was a king of the wireworms among the forest spiders, they could only capture this spider first.
"What are you still standing there for? Everyone, help block them and cooperate with their operations!"
The captain of the border army squad ordered other border soldiers to block the enemy, but before he could finish his words, he saw a forest in front of him suddenly collapse. The huge trees in the forest seemed to have suddenly suffered some huge destructive force. There was a hint of lightning in the afterglow of wind and fire, and finally a mecha raised a sledgehammer and swept down several trees with one blow.
"Captain, it seems that our cooperation is not necessary." The soldier took a half step back.
Team leader: “…”
Inside the Koria Administration, the number of mechas capturing S-class forest spiders on the monitors increased again. The border troops in the forest area outside the Koria restricted area received a special order, and almost all the mechas that were nearby rushed to the location of the forest spiders.
The staff member looked at the various signals displayed on the radar and suddenly had a bad feeling. He looked at Major General Luo Xu who was holding a communicator and had a gloomy face, "What are they doing--"
"Connect me to their combat channel." Luo Xu almost laughed out loud at the fact that You Su blocked him. "Connect the pursuit team, activate the mecha camera, and see what they are doing!"
The staff worked hurriedly, but Luo Xu remembered that the border army had just mentioned the S-level iron wire worm king, so he asked his adjutant to go to the next door laboratory to invite Mr. Qiu and Shi Qingning. When the two heard that there was an S-level iron wire worm king in the contaminated area, they hurried over.
Director Koria was also called over. He was stunned when he heard about the S-level iron wire worm king worm. A king worm that was beyond his detection range appeared in the area under his management.
"Can the pollutants cultivated by Shi Xuejun evolve to S-level?" Luo Xu directly asked the core question.
Upon hearing this, it was difficult for Mr. Qiu to respond directly. In order to preserve these pollutants, which were the only ones in the world that were 'of the same origin' as Kronos, it was inevitable that Shi Xuejun opened the culture chamber and released them. Otherwise, these iron wire worms would have died that year.
The pollutants used in the experiment will be screened for benign properties and implanted with positioning markers. Shi Xuejun was prepared to retrieve them after the Kolya riot was over, but who knew that her genetic disease would later develop and the area near the abandoned Kolya base station would be designated a restricted area. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Logically, the upper limit of species such as iron wire worms is A-level, but it is not ruled out that some iron wire worms can break through the upper limit and grow into S-level pollutants.
"Once an S-level iron worm appears in this type of pollutant, all the iron worms around it will definitely bow down to it." Elder Qiu affirmed: "As long as it can grow into an S-level, with its level, it will definitely be the leader of all the iron worms in Coria."
Luo Xu understood that the probability of the King Insect appearing was extremely small, but they had encountered it... So as long as they caught this King Insect, their troubles might be solved with half the effort!
How did You Su know about the existence of this king insect! ? ?
As Elder Qiu looked at the situation, he vaguely seemed to recall that during the previous joint mission of the Alliance Mecha Division, KID and the Dawn Mecha Division seemed to have mentioned some parasitic contaminants. Could it be that the one at that time—
"What's the situation now?"
"We've connected to the signal from the border troops on the mission! I'm joining their channel!" the staff member shouted.
When Director Corea saw that the other number displayed on the virtual screen was KID, wait? KID! ?
Luo Xu and others who were discussing the matter hurriedly looked at the signal taken by the mecha. When they glanced over, they saw a forest covered with fire and lightning. This was not over yet. The next second, the internal channel that was suddenly connected was filled with the noisy discussion of the Dawn Mecha Masters. ⌒This⌒work⌒is⌒by⌒
"Fuck! We need to capture him alive!"
"Can you guys be gentler? What if you hurt Qing Feng's daughter?!"
"She's going to be sent back anyway, so what difference does it make whether she's injured or not? Besides, it might not be that girl."
"It must be Qing Feng's daughter, otherwise why would the spider run away when it saw us?"
"Qingfeng's daughter has a very high IQ!"
Luo Xu: “?”
What are these people doing? ? ?
In the Coria Forest, the S-level forest spider was still fleeing, but the burning fire and lightning gave it a physical fear. The fear of the heat source forced it to evacuate to the side, and the culprits who were chasing it seemed to be waiting for it to change its route and had been waiting on the side.
The forest spider is difficult to catch. The strength of this spider lies in the fact that its special ability is all spider silk. There is no way to subdue its mouthparts, but its spider silk can still be used to attack external objects. If they simply want to cripple the pollutant, it will be easy for the mecha masters, but if they want to capture the spider alive and prevent the S-level iron wire worm inside from escaping, then the difficulty becomes higher.
"Dafeng, tie its neck as soon as it gets close to you!" Lin Yao said skillfully.
"What the hell—" Ji Qingfeng looked at the information of the forest spider, "Tell me where the spider's neck is?!"
Ying Chenlin had quickly read the pollutant information provided by Kolya and marked a point on the three-dimensional image of the spider scanned by the mecha, "Tie it here!"
Ji Qingfeng knew that he had to catch bugs, so he drove a racing-level mecha when he came out, and the meteor hammer in his hand was already ready. When he closed the distance between himself and the forest spider, he immediately locked onto the spider's head and mouthparts. The brief days when he had spent every day with his daughter came to his mind. His meteor hammer flew out and locked onto the spider's head when it hit the spider.
"It might resist--" warned the border mecha master who had experience in dealing with forest spiders.
However, the forest spider did not resist. When a certain node on its head was locked, it seemed as if fate was strangled by the neck. The speed at which it originally jumped forward relying on spider silk slowed down, and it coiled around the tree without moving.
People inside and outside the contaminated area were stunned when they saw this scene. Shouldn’t they resist? !
A soldier asked: "Is this spider so weak?"
"It's not weak!" Director Kolya still remembers the days when this spider was rampant in the forest. "How did it become so powerful?"
Qiu Laodao: "Because it is a king insect."
If a king worm can evolve from a pollutant insect, then there is an 80% chance that this pollutant has only one superpower, which is manipulation and domination... If a wireworm king worm enters the body of a normal pollutant, it is equivalent to being able to manipulate the superpower of this pollutant.
Director Kolya reacted in a trance, "What about the forest spider...?"
"Since the spider is completely controlled by the iron wire worm, it must have been eaten up, leaving only a walking corpse." Luo Xu took a few steps forward and said to the captain of the border army team who was establishing a channel: "The place they control is where the king worm is."
The forest spider stopped struggling, and KID's stealth mecha rode on the spider's body, pulling the entire forest spider down, and fell to the ground with the forest spider.
The border troops who were helping to block the way also rushed over. When the captain of the border troops heard Luo Xu's order, he immediately approached the forest spider with the Kronos detection equipment. They did not destroy the shell of the forest spider, but brought the special instrument close to KID to hide and lock the forest spider.
When the detection instrument was at a certain position on the head, it detected a spectrum similar to the Kronos pollution reaction.
"Major General!!!" the captain said excitedly: "A reaction has been detected!"
The expressions of Mr. Qiu and Shi Qingning in the Coria control room paused for a moment. They had originally wanted to use the dominant characteristics of the king insect to capture other pollutants, but they had not expected that this S-level iron wireworm was actually one of the group of iron wireworms that Shi Xuejun had released that year. The iron nematodes in the same culture chamber back then... Shi Xuejun immediately responded: "Bring back that forest spider. The king of the iron nematodes can only be a female, and the ones under its control are all its daughters!"
Among the daughter worms, some are suppressed by the characteristics of their own species, while the other part is very likely to be of the same origin as this wire king worm.
When the border troops heard the discussion between the two, they immediately understood the importance of the wireworm they had captured. They were directly capturing the leader of the nest of worms that had been released into the contaminated area that year. By capturing the leader, they could trace back to the sub-worms controlled by it.
The team leader said, "I will immediately notify the nearby border troops to check all the wireworms near the forest spider's habitat!"
The border troops acted very quickly. After Ji Qingfeng caught the iron wire worm, other border troops quickly joined in the search. Ji Qingfeng made eye contact with the spider below whose eyes were glowing red, and began to accept that the iron wire worm, which he had not seen for a while, had a new body and seemed to be living a very comfortable life, being well taken care of by the Koria Administration.
"Do these count as two S-class ones?"
"Your daughter has a good diet. She must have swallowed a lot of forest spiders, right?"
"My daughter is shy, so don't crowd her." Ji Qingfeng said.
The mecha masters surrounded the forest spider and observed it. The forest spider lay on the ground, and when it saw so many mechas surrounding it, it shrank its head and did not move. It seemed that it was traumatized by these mecha masters who had chased it across half the forest, and it did not even look up.
After listening to the reports from other border troops and then the discussion of this group of people in this channel, Luo Xu didn't know what this group of people did, but it was basically certain that capturing this king insect reduced a lot of their subsequent work. He saw other border troops going to clean up the mess, and he felt that these mecha divisions were still hiding some secrets. "You Su, get me out of the address book!"
You Su ignored him and talked to Ying Chenlin: "How do we get the iron wire worms out of there?"
"This is a forest, it's easy for it to run away if it comes out." Ying Chenlin knew that Ji Qingfeng's daughter could burrow underground, and it would be troublesome if she really burrowed underground. "Wait for the management bureau to send equipment over, and then dismember the spider in the equipment."
Hearing the discussion on the communication channel, Luo Xu frowned slightly. Before capturing the Overlord, this group of mecha divisions had clearer intelligence than the border troops. Luo Xu said in a deep voice: "What else do you know?"
"Exchange of intelligence." You Su looked at the communication signal from Luo Xu and asked, "What is the purpose of the border troops catching iron wire worms?"
The communication channel fell silent. The longer everyone stayed in the medical room, the more curious they became about the situation outside. They are no longer injured, so if there is a way to deal with Kronos, they will naturally contribute. They always need to know the intelligence so that they can know what to do now and where to put their efforts.
"It's okay, tell them." Old Qiu has been in Shuguang for so long and knows the people of Shuguang very well. Now the entire border army is busy with this matter. Hiding it from them will only make these mecha masters more curious, and may even cause other troubles later.
Seeing that Mr. Qiu nodded, Luo Xu explained the detailed relationship between Kronos and the iron wire worms to the mecha masters. Only then did they realize how significant it was to capture these iron wire worms across the entire Dawn border.
"Could it be that your daughter has become a spirit?" Lin Yao looked at Ji Qingfeng.
When Ji Qingfeng heard that the Overlord had been in the same culture dish with Chronos, he suddenly realized: "No wonder it was so smart when it was controlling the two mantises to hunt. My daughter actually has human genes."
"But how can we find these iron wire worms and make weapons? Do you think seven days is enough?" Colin immediately noticed the key point in Qiu's words. They simply explained the relationship between the two, but did not elaborate on how to use the iron wire worms to deal with Kronos. "Are their levels not equal?"
Kronos is a super S-level being. We can’t let the Overlord enter Kronos’ body and eat him up, right? The two are not on the same level. If the iron wire worm goes in again, it might be killed by Kronos before it can eat.
"Mr. Qiu, is seven days enough?" Hearing this, Luo Xu looked at Mr. Qiu and Shi Qingning beside him. The weapons were all handled by the researchers, and their border troops were only waiting for the weapons to come out before heading to the battlefield. However, they had no idea what kind of miniature weapons were being forged.
You Su suddenly said, "If we get into Chronos' time control range at close range, it can easily crush us to death."
The mecha masters thought of the battle with the Tree of Life not long ago. You Su and Ying Chenlin escaped from under the nose of Kronos. Both of them were seriously injured. Under the circumstances at that time, Ying Chenlin and You Su had no chance to fight back against Kronos.
Mr. Qiu knew the concerns of the mecha masters. The iron wire worm was not on the same level as Kronos, and there could not be an iron wire worm above the S level.
The micro-weapons they want to forge do not use iron nematodes as direct weapons. What they want is the shielding properties of homologous pollutants.
Chronos will be alert to mechas and warships, but not to homologous pollutants. In a sense, homologous pollutants have the opportunity to approach Chronos.
The border troops trusted each other and did not ask more questions about this issue, but Qiu Lao knew that he would have to explain the situation of this weapon to them sooner or later, so he simply said it at this time: "The iron wire worm is not on the same level as Kronos. Kronos is also very strong. Warships and mechas have no chance to get close to it. We have to create an opportunity to get close to Kronos."
"If the mecha approaches, Kronos will easily notice it. The micro-weapon we want to forge is a small control interference field." Elder Qiu continued, "This weapon can explode at close range and has a small control function. In addition to homology, we can get close to it before Kronos notices it."
"We have restored many possibilities for Kronos to escape from Slared. This pollutant can control the flow of time. Even if it doesn't have the passive ability of near-death rewind, it is possible that it can use the ability of time flow to avoid danger before we detonate it."
When Master Qingning heard Elder Qiu speak out his thoughts, he continued, "So if we want to kill Kronos, we have to meet two conditions at the same time. One is to consume its energy and cut off its escape route of using near-death reversal. The other is to suppress its time flow ability so that our heavy weapons have the greatest chance of killing it at a certain time point."
Luo Xu understood after hearing this. Kronos was extremely wary of the border troops. It was impossible to let the border troops or warships approach it with heavy weapons. It was also impossible to use long-range attacks or bury bombs in advance because Kronos would be alert. Slared's close-range blasting would ultimately result in failure.
"So we have to control it so it doesn't use its time power!?"
“But can this be controlled?”
"Ordinary weapons won't work, but pollutant weapons will." said Mr. Qiu.
Shi Xuejun's theory of micro-weapons is very similar to Mr. Qiu's theory of pollutant weapons. It considers how to pollute weapons, from appearance, smell, energy reaction, etc., to turn weapons with powerful lethality into controllable pollutants. The micro-weapons are power jammers with the same functions, which can make Chronos lose control of his power for a short period of time.
"This kind of micro jammer needs to be very close to Kronos to be effective. It is best to stick it directly on him." Elder Qiu explained the purpose of the jammer. "The jammer is effective for a long time. It can interfere with S-level pollutants for a long time, but we don't know how long it can control super S-level pollutants. It may be 10 seconds, or it may be 5 seconds, or even less... All we can say is that the closer the distance, the better the effect."
But this is already very important for the border troops. The explosion of heavy weapons is instantaneous, which can interfere with it and prevent it from using superpowers to escape. The possibility of successfully killing it is 99%! The border troops had tried to use jammers before, but these types of weapons basically had no chance of getting close to Kronos.
The appearance of the iron wire worms is different. With homologous camouflage, they can send the jammer to Kronos.
"Since we can make a jammer, why not just make a heavy weapon disguised as pollutants?" Ji Qingfeng asked.
Several researchers at the border fell silent. Ying Chenlin suddenly remembered the fusion weapon they had seen underground in Koria before, "Because it failed that year."
"Yes, the research on large-scale pollutant weapons has not been successful." Old Qiu was leaning on a cane. The Kolya C-147 base station was originally a weapons research institute. Its main purpose at that time was to research pollutant weapons. That was the life's work of all of them. But after the riot in Kolya, a large number of researchers and border troops died, Shi Xuejun died, Ying Songshan left...the abandoned base station became a blocked restricted area. ◆
If nothing unexpected had happened during the research, perhaps he, his old friends, his students, and all the people who had participated in the research back then would have already developed a weapon to deal with Kronos, and there would have been no subsequent sacrifices, and there would have been no situation at the scene.
"The past cannot be undone." Elder Qiu knew that the iron wire worms left by Master Xuejun were the last resort. "Now we can only make a supernatural jammer."
From the time when Shi Xuejun's memory key was unlocked to now, due to the defense mechanism in Shi Xuejun's memory and Ying Songshan's programming platform, they could only crack the memory key, export the information from it, and then send it to other Kronos research teams in the five major star fields for analysis. The time and labor costs were too high. This time, when they found the clue of the iron wire worm, they immediately found a clear clue from Shi Xuejun's information point.
"There are wars everywhere right now, and other researchers cannot reach the Dawn Border. What we can do is to gather all the weapons experts in the Star Alliance and use the best technology in the shortest time to create the best homologous jammer."
Elder Qiu sighed, "Seven days. Technology can be exchanged through communication, but we have limited manpower here. It is difficult for other weapon masters to get here in a short time. We are already in contact with researchers and technicians who can get here within the specified time. Seven days is the shortest time after our coordination."
While they were talking, other border troops had already discovered some wireworms along the route of the forest spiders driven by the wireworms, and among those wireworms, they found five that had homologous reactions. As soon as the news came through, the researchers' faces were filled with joy. The more related wireworms they could find, the greater the jammers they could make and the greater the fault tolerance rate!
Mr. Qiu and Shi Qingning didn't have time to stay here. They notified the border troops to use special containers to send the forest spiders possessed by the queen insect out of the contaminated area.
"So, what clues are there about the king of iron wire worms?" Luo Xu looked at You Su and said through gritted teeth, "Any information is very important now. I have told you everything I should tell you. Don't hide any details."
The Dawn Mecha Master was silent for a moment, Ying Chenlin did not speak, and everyone looked at You Su.
"You said it was an emergency, would we hide it?"
You Su said: "I have already told you all the information that should be said at the beginning."
The other mecha masters nodded one after another. They just knew there was a wireworm and wanted to catch it to try and catch it, but they ended up catching a big one. That was all the information they needed to say.
Ji Qingfeng pulled the wireworm and said, "If we want to go on, it's only the story of how I met my daughter."
Luo Xu was angry: "...you kid!"
You Su cheated him! ? ?
"What should I do now?" Ji Qingfeng pulled the King Insect's daughter, "Who among you will take over my daughter?"
The mecha technicians in the communication channel fell silent. This job of pulling wire worms is not something that ordinary people can do.
Luo Xu recalled the mecha master's neat and accurate hood-pulling action, glanced at Ji Qingfeng, and then said: "You continue to pull
, and we will put them in the container and send them back later. ”
Ji Qingfeng: “?”
"Weren't you worried about your daughter just now?" Zhao Lejie said, "Give you some time to say goodbye to your daughter."
Huo Yan patted Ji Qingfeng on the shoulder and said, "Father and daughter, let's say goodbye."
Ji Qingfeng: “???”
The author has something to say:
Here we come!
