The yellow PH test strip did not respond at all.

This made Chen Xunyi quite depressed, why in the swamp, this creature can melt biological muscle tissue? .

"What's going on?!" Ren Mingxiao was also shocked.

"I don't know! Go get a little piece of meat! ”

"Where am I going to get it! You don't want to use what you eat ... ”

"Aren't there zombies?"

Ren Mingxiao reacted, immediately stepped aside, and cut the pieces of meat in the black bag a little.

"Cut a small portion and place it in a petri dish!"

Ren Mingxiao did as instructed, she put a small piece of meat in the petri dish, leaned over, and looked closely.

Not long after, the piece of meat was still in the petri dish, "No response? ”

"It's not unresponsive! It's over! Chen Xunyi picked up the glass rod and slowly approached the petri dish, the glass rod sank into the meat block, and he began to stir gently.

No, the pieces of meat slowly collapsed like icebergs, and as they stirred, they merged into the liquid.

Ren Mingxiao opened her mouth slightly, with a look of surprise, "It's melting!" ”

"Yes! The worm attaches to the target, melts the muscle tissue through the liquid, and then through the middle sac, continuously sucks the muscle tissue fused with the liquid until all the meat on the target's body is sucked. ”

"It's a bit different from the Cryptoptera, which releases acid because it's dangerous, and this bug is used for eating! It's just a little bit weird! ”

"What?"

"Most of the solution secreted by this organism should be acidic? However, the fluid secreted by this insect does not have any acidity or alkalinity, which is unlikely! ”

"It's a mutated creature after all, and that's probably it."

"No, when the Bighorn deer sank into the swamp and was pulled out by us, you can clearly see the changes in its body, it is obvious that it has been eroded by acid." Chen Xunyi explained.

He pinched his chin and shook his head vigorously, never knowing what was going on!

"Maybe it's acidic in the swamp?"

"This..." Chen Xunyi denied Ren Mingxiao's speculation, if that was the case, could the liquid released by this insect be related to the environment!

His mind suddenly remembered the protective color, "Give me the cup with the alkaline solution written on it!" ”

Ren Mingxiao handed it over.

Chen Xunyi put the worm into the alkaline solution, and after a while, he took it out, and he tested the acidity and alkalinity of the liquid again, and the test paper turned slightly green.

"And so it was!" Chen Xunyi's eyes stared at the green test strip in front of him.

"How?"

"The bug is likely to adjust the pH of the fluid in the body according to the pH of the surrounding environment."

Ren Mingxiao was a little puzzled, "What's the use of this?" ”

"Probably the biggest thing is to get used to the swamp! The acidity softens the epidermal tissue of the muscles, which means that the bug can only live in places like swamps. ”

"Is there any way to deal with that?"

"I think we can only use alkaline substances to neutralize the acidity of the swamp, so that the lysozyme protein secreted by the worm will lose its activity!"

"That is, the construction of the pipeline...

"It's easy! The soil in the swamp is not suitable for the passage of pipeline trucks, and we can deal with bugs, but we can't deal with the texture of the soil. ”

Ren Mingxiao shrugged her shoulders, "If there is a drought, maybe the engineering vehicle will be able to pass!" ”

Drought! Maybe you can do that!

An idea suddenly flashed through Chen Xunyi's mind, he clapped his hands excitedly, walked to the cabinet, and took out the dagger that Poole had left behind.

"This serrated knife is for you!" Chen Xunyi walked to Ren Mingxiao's side.

"Give it to me?"

"This knife is just right for you to take on your body for self-defense! I bought a scabbard and you hang it around your waist. ”

"This..." Ren Mingxiao took the dagger, and seemed to be a little reluctant to accept it, "It's not outside the Great Wall on the border now... ”

"There are times when the survival zone can be more dangerous than outside the Great Wall of the Border!"

Yan Shenshi stood in front of the table in the combat command room, staring at the three-dimensional map in the middle, the outpost area was all lit up, and the exploration mission also made the quiet forest in a bright place.

He was still a little worried in his heart, he was not sure about tomorrow's action, and he was even more uncertain than the Scarlet Hospital.

The Scarlet Hospital is in a closed state, and tomorrow's operation is indeed in an open state, today's mission lost a few soldiers, although the number is small, but it is still necessary to be quite vigilant, those unknown mutant creatures are too difficult to deal with! Now our hopes are pinned on the anatomist!

"That's all we can call for in the Defense Forces! There are also people who need to patrol the Great Wall of the Border! Olef looked reluctant.

"The patrol team can keep up with all their might, and our mission tomorrow can be put on hold, after all, if there is internal chaos, the border Great Wall will be in trouble!"

"What do you mean by that?" Olev raised his hand and pointed at Duntundi, "Are you saying I don't send people?" You may not know that there was something on the Great Wall of the Frontier before... ”

Yan Shenshi raised his hand and signaled them not to face each other, "Lao Deng didn't mean that, don't get me wrong, the Great Wall on the border really needs you to guard it!" ”

"If only you knew! The people have been assigned to you, and the rest of you can see for yourselves, I am going back, and the border Great Wall at night is even more restless! ”

Olef said as he walked to the door and left the operations command room.

"This guy, every time he is on a mission, he just gets some people for us, even if he has made a contribution!" Yan Shenshi slammed the table hard, his eyes glaring at the door.

"What's the solution! It doesn't matter if you don't care about it, do you expect us to deal with the defense forces? As long as you have some connections and money, you can stay in the defense team, and you don't have to be locked up in a prison surrounded by walls, it's me, and I will do the same. Even Minister Marko can't arrange it, you think about how hard the relationship is behind this. ”

Deng Tundi shook his head helplessly, "Unless you can bring down the back... ”

"Don't think about it!" Ahab walked up and said, "We'd better be careful! ”

Duntun turned his head and glanced at Ahab, "What do you mean?" ”

"The Defense Force has always had a deep connection with the mayor of Extinct City, and the mayor is said to be in contact with a high-ranking member of the Blue Star coalition government and wants to bring them down? It's too difficult! Ahab explained it in detail!

"Yes! Ahab is right, we all have to be careful, this Gupenth still wants us to work for him, and after I refuse, there will be a lot of small actions! ”：，，，
