"Yes, those things' mental pulses are really too powerful. The Covenant engineers haven't developed any weapons to counter them yet."
When this topic came up, everyone's faces turned serious.
Lacking targeted attacks, they could only use the lives of their soldiers as weapons, engaging in a brutal tug-of-war with this bunch of scum.
The longer it takes, the greater the losses will be, and the more variables will arise.
"So you've killed quite a few dark spirits before, right? How did you eliminate them?"
Shen Yulou frowned in thought.
"At the beginning, we used high-energy rays to attack the dark matter spirits."
"These rays can damage their body structure to some extent."
Chi Yuan fed the baby with a spoon, organizing his thoughts to answer Shen Yulou's question.
"The self-repair ability of dark spirits is beyond imagination; they can often recover to their original state shortly after being attacked."
Ou Wan continued speaking, picking up where Chi Yuan left off, his brows furrowing more and more as he spoke.
"We Zerg can release special pheromones that disrupt the interaction between Dark Particles, causing them to fall into a brief state of confusion."
"But this method only works occasionally, and its effectiveness decreases as the Dark Spirits evolve."
Su Taylor licked the cream off her thumb while anxiously drinking her milk tea, still wanting more.
"We are now exploring a new energy wave technology in an attempt to disrupt their energy absorption and conversion mechanisms at the source."
"If successful, it could truly turn the tide of the war. But for now, it's still in the experimental stage."
Shen Yulou touched his face, seemingly understanding but not quite, his eyes darting around as he entered a state of deep thought.
He had a flash of inspiration.
"I remember the rope you used to tie me up at the beginning could be used to kill dark spirits, right?"
Chi Yuan nodded and then shook his head.
"Those ropes are only effective when they are tied up. Only controlled dark spirits can be bound. There are plenty of those that cannot be controlled."
"It was alright at first, but now that their abilities have improved, they are becoming increasingly difficult to control."
"Moreover, these ropes are very precious. They are made from the toxins extracted from the Dark Spirits, and they are very rare and difficult to make."
Owan tapped his fingers on the table, and with each heavy tap, he couldn't help but voice his deepest anxieties.
"What we fear most now is that, over time, the Dark Spirits will not only be able to absorb the knowledge and technology of the conquered, but may even evolve to mimic the moves of soldiers."
"This is the most terrifying, unimaginable consequence."
It would have been better if I hadn't said anything; saying it only made me more anxious.
The generals suddenly felt uneasy, and even their delicious milk tea lost its flavor.
"Yes, if that's the case, everyone in the army will be in danger, and we might collapse from within without even an external attack from the enemy."
Hearing Shen Yulou's worried words, everyone couldn't help but sigh deeply, feeling as if they were about to have all the hair on their heads pulled out.
"From the beginning of the war, there was an unwritten rule in the army."
"That means that in times of crisis, we would rather self-destruct than allow those bastards to steal even a single piece of information from our minds."
"If their bodies were still intact, they could be piled up into countless mountains and fill countless seas."
"I don't even want to think about it if it really comes to this..."
Ou Wan felt as if every breath he took carried tiny needles piercing his heart, causing his fingers to involuntarily curl up in pain.
Asel covered his face with both hands, his cheeks puffed out, so engrossed in listening to Owan that he forgot to chew.
When he lowered his hand, his eyes were red, but the tears had been wiped away.
"Who can argue with that? Those stupid bugs..."
Su Taylor clasped her hands in front of her mouth, softly murmuring her child's name, her eyes revealing sorrow and heartache.
"It will be alright."
Chi Yuan's throat felt a little dry.
