Chapter 145: Genes

Obviously, the other party was very dissatisfied with Li Ang's ridicule, and the half-cut man who was stuck to the back of the moth began to scream incessantly,

And the moth below him "buzzed" and flapped its wings at high speed, swaying slightly in place, and after adjusting its posture,

Stretching out a tubular mouthpiece like a spear, it sped towards Leon like a motorcycle at full power.

Bang bang bang,

Three rifle bullets struck the moth's hemispherical head, sending the large lepidopteran insect in the chest with its head.

Its body shuddered, and it swooped down on the floor of the hallway, and rolled forward a few times in the inertia of inertia.

"Ahhh

With the death of the moth, the shouts of the half of the men also became weak,

Leon casually shot him in the forehead and made a few more shots to his spine before he stopped screaming at all.

"So weak?"

Wanli Fengdao's brows furrowed together, "It's not good..."

According to common sense, this kind of monster that jumped out as soon as he entered the script,

It is usually a novice monster for players to adapt to the intensity of the mission and understand the background of the scripted mission world.

The intensity is generally maintained at a level of "a bit of a hassle but can be resolved quickly".

The large fluttering moth in front of him is just ugly and terrifying, and the actual combat power is not to mention the player, even if it is an ordinary person after training, he can easily solve it with a metal spear.

Leon stood there and watched for a moment, and after confirming that the moth was no longer moving,

He stepped forward, picked out the moth with a steel rod, and examined it briefly.

"This is the American white light moth, the white moth of the large lepidoptera lamp moth family, the original body length is generally about 9-12mm, and now it has grown to such a big size..."

Li Ang said with a serious face: "It must be the joy of growing up after eating my favorite food." ”

Shall I sing you a song "The taste of growing up happy, the moth and you want to understand"?

Wanli Fengdao slandered in his heart, but there was no expression on his face,

He took out a spear made of ordinary metal from the compartment of his backpack, and held the rubber grip of the spear.

At a distance, he gently cut half of the connection between the man and the moth with the tip of the spear.

Whewβ€”β€”

As the tip of the spear slashed, colorful sticky pus splattered wildly, staining the walls into a strange oil painting.

Despite the gas mask, the Wanli Sealing Knife can still make up that horrible smell of rot in the mind...

Half of the man's entrails flowed to the ground,

His abdominal cavity can be seen "growing" with the moth through a large pile of strangely shaped flesh and blood organs.

"What the fuck is this..."

Wanli Sealing Dao muttered, watching the tall and mighty Dusk Knight take out a T-shaped hand-held radiation detector,

Swept back and forth over the Mothman twice.

"There's a slight radiation in the air."

The Knight of Twilight glanced at the fluttering moth, "It has a higher radiation dose than air, and it is a Class IV radioactive source.

However, it is not a naturally mutated species caused by radiation. ”

Wanli Fengdao frowned and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

"Because natural nuclear radiation could not have created such a 'perfect' creation."

Li Ang explained indifferently: "Different from the description in film and television animation works, the 'genetic mutation' caused by nuclear bomb radiation refers to the brutal and rude interruption of DNA strands.

Rather than re-sequencing the genome with precision and stability like an engineer would.

The vast majority of mutations are harmful and disordered, leading to a rapid collapse of the physiology of the irradiated individual.

Even in a high-tech laboratory, using a large number of experimental organisms and going through a long experimental cycle, it is difficult to mutagenesize and breed such beautiful creatures. ”

Wanli Fengdao was stunned, looking at the ugly moth man lying in the corridor, "You call it beautiful?!" ”

Li Ang didn't talk nonsense with him, he directly took the spear in the hand of Wanli Fengdao, and used the tip of the spear to pick open both sides of the moth's abdomen.

"Insects are heartless creatures that rely on the stomata on the sides of their bodies to breathe.

You see, the stomata of this moth are only enlarged in proportion to the network-like system in the body.

Such a system does not provide enough oxygen as long as the oxygen content in the air remains the same.

It relies on this half of the human body on its back to breathe. ”

This design, which treats another individual as an external respirator, is ingenious and crazy.

And Leon suspects that the person on the back of the white moth is not only used to breathe, but also to attract humans to come to the door by shouting for help....

Monkfish is visual.

Leon paused for a moment and continued, "Even if the desolation here is caused by nuclear war,

The half-life of radioactive elements in a nuclear explosion can be as short as 8 days and as long as 0 years,

Nor can it meet the requirements of the long mutagenesis burst period,

Let this creature quickly evolve into a complete external respiratory system. ”

In short, the mutation induction period caused by the explosion of the nuclear bomb is too short, and the white moth's external respiratory system is not perfect.

Dusk Knight also added in due course: "If the three-phase bomb explodes, it may cause long-term and large-scale radiation contamination, which can provide a long period of induced mutation.

However, this assumption does not correspond to the scene of lush vegetation on the streets. ”

Wanli Fengdao thought for a while, and concluded: "In other words, the city under our feet is likely to have experienced a nuclear explosion that was not serious before,

And this mutant creature is not a product of radiation, but a finely tuned man-made object? ”

"That's it."

Li Ang nodded, and his eyes clearly revealed the meaning of "Sure enough, don't be three days, you should be impressed, cub".

Wanli Fengdao pursed his lips a little unpleasantly, always feeling that Li Ang was mocking him.

Dusk Knight said in a deep voice, "Considering the three mission objectives, we can assume that this mutant creature is the handiwork of the Balance Company.

If that's the case, Tianping's level of life engineering technology is beyond our real world. ”

This sentence is the most important thing,

Compared with weapons and equipment,

The well-established technology and systematic cutting-edge knowledge in the world of scripts are undoubtedly more valuable.

Knowledge is power, knowledge is wealth, and the potential value of the balance company, which has not yet met, has obviously exceeded the expectations of the three players.

But with opportunity comes danger, and the balance company that can create this exquisite mutant monster will create more and more powerful monsters...

Wanli Fengdao stared at the half-human, half-moth corpse, and his face was quite unsightly.

"Don't worry, it's possible that this creature has mutated its own genes."

Li Ang comforted, "There are still ghosts and zombies in our world, maybe there is a setting of 'high-speed mutation of biological genes' in this world."

Let's say a white couple gives birth to a black child or something..."
