Polluters have 4 major components.

First, the arthropods, like most arthropods, the polluters twist the arthropod body and crawl on many legs, can adapt to most of the treacherous environments and terrain, their skin is very hard, and there are many sharp bone spurs, whenever they flick their long tail, they will make a creaking and terrifying sound, visually and audibly destroy the enemy's will to resist.

Second, among the toxins, there is a compound chamber full of deadly toxins in the polluter's body, and different kinds of viruses and fungi in different forms of substances are produced and stored in different areas of the compound chamber, and whenever the polluter exerts its terrifying ability, the toxins in these areas will be sprayed to the target location by the polluter in the form of regulating the air pressure difference between the body and the outside under the control of the nervous system.

Third, raw material absorption, the polluter kills the Zerg unit, absorbs various microorganisms and nutrients, and transforms them into biochemical raw materials and various promoting enzymes for their own virus.

Fourth, symbiotic lifeforms, the polluter's body is surrounded by a large number of tiny organisms, which feed on the toxins and excrements released from the polluter's body, and under its command, they are able to fly to a designated area, creating a black cloud of living tiny insects, so that any troops outside this black cloud cannot accurately target the troops inside the black cloud.

The polluter costs 50 crystals, 150 gas, and occupies 2 people, which is much cheaper than the flying snake.

It has a total of 4 active skills, which are "Elimination" - devouring the Zerg individual to increase its own energy; "Black Front" -- creating black clouds of insects and weakening the combat effectiveness of long-range attack units; "Plague" - Uses corrosive spores to weaken the vitality of organisms and force invisible units to manifest; "Stealth" - Allowing polluters to dive into the ground to avoid attack.

Passive skills include "Insect Ground Unit Carapace Upgrade" and "Toxin Room" to increase the energy limit.

It's worth mentioning that in game mode, the Polluters, like the Flying Snakes, do not possess attack capabilities, and Tang Fang doesn't think that the same is true for them in reality, and the sharp bone spurs alone are enough for them to take out vulnerable humans.

In all fairness, the Polluter's skills are stronger than the Flying Serpent. In particular, the "Plague" and "Elimination" stores zài, but correspondingly, they need to be additionally upgraded in the Scorpion Lair, as well as the passive skill "Toxin Room".

Select a worker bee and press the button to build a "scorpion nest", about 5 seconds later. The vesicle ruptured, the building was mutated, and then it cost 4,500 crystals and 4,500 gas to study the three skills of "toxin", "digestion" and "plague".

Since then, the Biochemical Strike Team consisting of the Queen, the Infected, the Flying Snake, the Polluter, and the Self-Exploding Man has finally taken shape.

He then turned his attention to the real space, unleashed the flames of the three men, and asked them to use the Flame Jet to clean up the unresolved virogenic clouds on floors -18 to -20, then turned back to the hallway and took out a new set of Ma Run's armor and handed it to the veteran.

"Is that the thing?"

He nodded with a grimace.

The veteran's face also became extremely gloomy, and he was really afraid of something. The deformed monsters were not one, but a large group, and although they were repelled by the Tang Fang's attack, this just showed that they were difficult.

Zhou Ai asked, "What next?" ”

Tang Fang took advantage of the light of the flames spewed by the fire bat to look at the -21st floor for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "Go down and have a look." ”

On the surface, this incident is an accident in an underground scientific research facility, which provoked a terrifying creature such as phagosome polymers, and the government evacuated the irrelevant personnel in the scientific research park and sent biological experts to deal with the aftermath, but unfortunately it was useless. Not only were the biological experts killed one after another, but even the soldiers of the convoy were devoured by phagosomal polymers. Form ugly deformities.

But he always felt that things were not so simple, if the phagosome polymer absorbed human genes to form a deformed monster, why would it spew out the virus-causing cloud released after the corpse of Congreve's corpse became a beast, and there were no epic creature gene fragments in human genes.

"Then be careful, everyone."

Now that Tang Fang has made a decision, Zhou Ai closed his head and concentrated on the situation around him. In order to be able to detect the hidden crisis at the first time, to remind several people to prepare for battle.

Roy holds a gun in his left hand, and his right arm has been blackened, ready to make corresponding counterattacks as soon as danger occurs.

Aros didn't speak, and was fully dressed. Picked up the "C-14 piercing hand" and followed Tang Fang to the right.

A few firebats had incinerated the deadly germs wafting through the air, scorching air swirling through the narrow corridors, and the floor was littered with rubble and various bodily fluids that had been dried in the heat.

Tang Fang walked down the stairs step by step, came to the entrance of the -21st floor, and gently pushed open the door that shook back and forth.

Sparks splashed and crackled from the ceiling. Occasionally, there was a faint light in the hallway, a faint light on the ground, shining on the shattered glass, the toppled instruments, and the pools of congealed blood.

There is a small fan crooked in the closest place to the stairway, which is the culprit who shook the stairway door.

Roy was slightly relieved and followed Aros into the corridor, and Zhou Ai was in charge of the break.

Tang Fang told the others to turn on the lighting equipment, and summoned a static ball and a mechanical sentinel, using the watery light from the energy core to illuminate the nearby area.

On the floor of the corridor, in addition to scientific research equipment, glass slag, blood stains and other debris, you can occasionally see the Tulanx United Kingdom's domestic "executioner" assault rifles, some of which are broken in two, some are twisted, and some are wrapped in a thick layer of slime.

He also found some traces of explosions, parts of the Pilgrim's power armor, but no soldiers' bodies.

There is no doubt that they have become the food of phagosomal polymers.

The group continued on their way, and as they reached the middle of the hallway, there was a strange noise behind the broken glass wall on the left.

The muzzle of the Aros gun turned horizontally, and under the illumination of the light, I saw a scrapped defense aircraft dumped on the ground, and only half of the 12.7MM caliber machine gun firing pin in his hand was swiped back and forth, presumably because the friend or foe identification system was still working, and the intruder's mechanical reaction was discovered.

Later, Roy pulled the trigger and blew up the CPU of the defense machine, and the piercing metal impact came to an abrupt end.

The veteran glared at him.

"It gives me the creeps," Roy said. ”

If it's Bai Hao. There will be other excuses, such as such noise will interfere with Ma Runjia's external sensors, or that noise can affect people's emotions in this environment and have a negative impact.

It's a pity that he is not Bai Hao, and the copycat Alex?mercer has always been the most honest.

The veteran's face softened and he nodded at him. Keep pushing forward.

The water waves from the static spherical core nucleus spread out on the road ahead, and the corridors and the scientific research rooms on both sides were very "clean", and no traces of the deformed monsters were found, only the reddish-brown blood on the ground and the glass walls proved that a brutal battle had taken place here not long ago, and many people died.

Tang Fang stopped 20 meters away from the end of the corridor, turned around and entered a real room, stepped on a piece of broken glass and walked to the central computer in the innermost computer room to stand still, turned off the "thermal vision" of the harsh environment protective suit, and inserted several jù lines into the universal interface by the light of the searchlight on the veteran's chest.

Although the computer's monitor was damaged in the battle just now. However, the main system is fine, and the CPU and some of the digital libraries are still working.

Soon, Emma delivered a restored mutilated copy to the secondary computer of the harsh environment suit.

Tang Fang took a cursory glance and arched his brows upward.

This fragmentary text records the analysis of the DNA fragments of the parasite, from the classification of the basic genetic material, to the composition, to the coding, with extremely detailed annotations. Even the genetic fragments of the Ipsilons, the genetic sequences of ordinary organisms, and the genetic material of human beings are clearly marked.

Things get even more confusing.

If the underground facilities in this area are used for the study of parasites, it means that Congreve knows about the existence of parasites. Since his research team is studying parasites. It is very likely that the old duke accidentally got infected, but he didn't know about it, and then returned to "Etiya" to cause a series of disasters. At the same time, an accident occurred in the research park of "Rulzan", which led to the current situation.

But why does the computer count jù traces that have been artificially deleted? Why did the researchers do this? Also How did phagosomal polymers come about? Isn't this a facility for the study of parasites, how can phagosome polymers appear?

Could it be that Congreeve once bought a phagosome sample from Babylon's Reach Star Trading Company? Or was it isolated from other epic biological tissue samples and cultured on its own?

Is there a relationship between the chaotic situation of "Aladell" and the parasite incident? And what does Sulbacho think of the change of "Rourzan"?

All kinds of problems are like a layer of haze hanging over my heart. It bothered him immensely.

At that moment, the covert operations team sent to Congreve Palace replied that the palace, like most of the facilities in the West End, was empty, and that they had now found the collection. The team members are cracking the external security system.

Tang Fang thought for a moment and decided to go to the -30th floor, because his intuition told him that what was happening at the scientific research facility was not simple, and he needed to do some investigation.

According to Emma's analysis of the computer's past operation logs, the control center and central computer of the entire scientific research facility are located in the Jù computer room on the 30th floor.

The 4 people returned to the corridor and continued to walk down-

The lights on floors 22 to 28 were all turned off, and the hallways were dark.

Instead of going inside to check as he did on the -21st floor, he led the three of them all the way down to the bottom-30 floor.

The first to open the way was replaced by two fanatics, and the flames of the psionic blade drove away the darkness in front of the door, slicing the door directly into pieces and entering the room.

Unlike the upper floors, there is an isolation room at the entrance, and a hall with a monitoring system and a command network at the back. Behind the hall is the computer room, where the research data of the terminal computers on each floor will be synchronized to the data library of a large quantum computer inside.

The emergency lights in the isolation room illuminated the not-so-spacious room, reflecting a blood-red glow.

The Zealot proceeded to break the door between the isolation chamber and the command hall, entering the hall of the Black Hole.

What is strange is that all the emergency lights in the command hall are all off, and the black ones are missing.

Just when Tang Fang smelled a hint of danger and frowned slightly, Zhou Ai grabbed him and said, "Wait, there's something in it." ”

Suddenly. As if to confirm her words, there was a strange sound of something breaking through the air from the innermost part of the room, and the fanatic subconsciously waved the psionic blade in front of his arm, splitting the two green masses in two.

With a pop, a cloud of dark green liquid rained down on the Zealot's plasma shield. There was a tooth-aching sound, and the strength of the shield was rapidly decreasing.

Tang Fang was shocked, and quickly ordered the fanatics to launch an attack on the enemy hidden in the command hall, and at the same time put in a mechanical sentry, ordering the deployment of the "Guardian's Shield" to protect the isolation room.

He didn't dare to risk summoning Zerg units, even though they were better suited to fighting in dark and cramped environments, as their combat power would be greatly suppressed by the Devagosome Polymer, and they would not be able to exert their proper combat power.

Following the fanatics. He threw two more fires into the hall, along with two raiders and one predator, and attacked the place where the dark green sac had been fired.

The glow of the flames and criss-crossed searchlights illuminated most of the room, and the predator jumped over one device after another like a nimble night cat, arriving at the place where the sac flew almost simultaneously with the fanatic.

Blood rose into the air and poured onto the ceiling, swept away by the passing light. It's so eye-catching.

There were no screams, only explosions.

The fanatics were pushed back by the shockwave. More and more of the liquid bladder shattered, and a dark green coating was applied to the surface of the plasma shield to erode the shield strength very quickly.

Each swing of the Predator's alloy claws ignited a circle of electric fields, and countless bouncing arcs illuminated the gaps in the device, revealing human faces and their misshapen arms.

Some resemble trumpet flowers. It sprays a dark green liquid sac with acid strong enough to corrode the Zealot's plasma shield.

Some are like beating hearts, giving birth to one after another hard beetles that can glide and turn, and sparks of heavy power armor that struck raiders and fire.

Others are like octopus suction cups, which can be stretched freely. Wrap around the raider's body, preventing it from continuing to kill.

Flames and explosions tossed the command hall into chaos, and equipment parts and wreckage tumbled to the ground.

One fanatic was injured and sent into the system space by the Tang side, and immediately put into the battlefield 3 again.

A fire bat's plasma tank is corroded by dark green acid, then pierced by a small hard beetle, exploding, sending a nearby raider flying upside down and crashing into an electronic device to create a huge dent.

His expression was mixed, mostly in disbelief, for through the eyes of the fanatic, he could clearly see the right arm of those men, as well as the corpse explosion that had been triggered after death.

It reminded him of a scene he had experienced, a few months ago on the Ankalim space station in "Babylon", Charlotte? Quinn was once attacked by terrorists, and the person who attacked him was exactly the same as the enemy in front of him...... Of course, at that time, their right arm had only one ability, and that was the ability to eject fluid sacs.

He called them "Brotherhood" because all the terrorists had the same appearance and body size, and he suspected that they were a kind of clone.

But the enemies encountered today are a little different from the members of the "Brotherhood", their appearance is not the same, and the changes in their right arms are also different, and there is even a guy in it who has two arms turned into octopus suckers.

Things have become even more chaotic, the parasites and phagosome polymers have been very nerve-wracking for him, who knows that a group of enhanced "Brotherhood" members have been killed halfway, and there are quite a few of them, relying on the electronic equipment distributed in the command hall to form a high and low defense line to attack the human and god combat units.

They are not afraid of death, even if they are cut off their arms and heads, they will not let out a scream, and after death, they will also explode under stress, causing secondary damage to melee units, it seems that not only are they genetically modified, but even their nervous systems have been modulated, but they are also very experienced in combat, far more powerful than the well-trained soldiers of ordinary sovereign countries.

He wondered if these people had been implanted with combat memories in addition to the above-mentioned transformations, so that they had the same level of combat effectiveness.

When he was in "Babylon", although the appearance of the "Brotherhood" alerted him, he did not think that they were his henchmen, because they were still very weak compared to the Monya Empire, the Supreme Security Council, the Third Committee, or the Anubis Legion.

It wasn't until today, when he saw these new clones in front of him, that he suddenly realized that the suspected clone terrorists he encountered on the Ankalim space station were just the tip of the iceberg of the "Brotherhood" forces.

Judging from the current situation, they are indeed no match for the human and god units, and the battle damage is close to 10:1, but if the members of the "Brotherhood" are all clones as he guessed, and have a clone manufacturing factory, he will have a headache in the face of an endless army of clones.

Judging from the fact that the death of these members will trigger a corpse explosion, it is clear that the upper echelons of the force use them as cannon fodder. And...... God knows if there are more powerful soldiers in the "Brotherhood".

Also, I fought this battle with grievances.

As far as the current shape is concerned, the enemies of the "Brotherhood" are obviously those who devoured the body polymers, and they themselves are absolutely suffering from unjustified disasters.

Of course, he did not think that he would become a friend of the "brotherhood". Cloning technology is unethical, and this kind of modulation to turn them into fighter jets who only know how to kill is an act of dehumanization, more inhumane than what the Phoenix Empire did to Maurice Nu, and more cruel than Mengsk's treatment of the old Federation soldiers in StarCraft.
