Volume 2 The Great World Chapter 125, The Scavenger
These new creatures formed by these refusions are defined by the federal government as disaster beasts.
The military and the institute urgently set up a temporary command to deal with such an emergency, and formed a special army to clean up these plague beasts, known as "scavengers".
The free zone is completely out of control, and a group of helpless scientists are completely unable to deal with these monsters, so they choose to flee for their lives, except for the veteran backbones that make up the free zone, and now they are basically dead in name.
The disaster is far from over, even the scavenger troops who appeared in front of the monsters wearing special equipment were effective at first when dealing with dirt monsters or vine monsters, but when the other party also found that these troops could effectively kill them, they actually chose to hide from humans.
Often hiding in lesser-known places to fuse, these fused creatures are able to cope with the attacks of specially crafted weapons, and these creatures are more resilient than humans can handle.
And by swallowing any substance with energy as a supplement, even rocks and bullets can repair the body.
Ma Yang and the others, who were frozen at the edge of the star field, were able to leave after a few hours. It was Hu Er who came to support with the darkness, so that Ma Yang could free up his hands and chop the monsters that he couldn't fuse into pieces and devoured them.
Once stuffed into his mouth, the struggling monster instantly turned into cool energy and flowed into the dantian, circulating all over the meridians through breathing.
Seeing Ma Yang tear these monsters apart and eat them, Peng Wange's eyes showed a trace of panic, this is not the way of human behavior at all, in the face of such a terrible monster, Ma Yang actually used the other party's way to eat them.
"Fatty, report the situation!" Ma Yang rode in the dark spaceship, and along the way, he saw the disaster that was being suffered by the nearby planet, and he was heartbroken. How could the federal government be so stupid as to make such a choice, and dare to use substances that clearly violate the law of conservation, and the scientists at the institute did not perceive that something was wrong?
"The cataclysmic creatures near our station have all been captured, and the cages made of jade are contained, and the things left by our ancestors are easy to use, no wonder the strange things used jade in ancient times, and these creatures can't break through the cage."
Everything has a cause, and since it appears, there must be a solution.
Although they can be integrated into the soil or ordinary life, the containers made of jade can magically isolate them, and it has to be said that the ancients have a reason for doing so.
"Weapons made of jade, especially firearms, need to be made more, and in terms of scope, this natural disaster is more difficult to deal with than the previous ones."
The news that Peng Wange received just now is that although the Divine Attraction Star Domain closed the domain gate in time, there are still sporadic monsters that have escaped, and their current whereabouts.
When the scavengers arrived at the planet where the Mayang War Department was stationed, the scourge beast, shocked by the sight in front of them, was honestly staying in the prison made of jade, curled up and letting out a weak cry.
“
Which legion do you belong to? "The commander of the scavenger unit, sent a friendly inquiry, but the ground garrison ignored him.
"Excuse me, which legion do you belong to? How do you subdue them? The second time the voice was more respectful, but there was still no response.
The soldiers around him were in an uproar, and the scavengers, who were the best soldiers selected from the legion, immediately became indignant when they saw their commander asking questions and did not answer twice in a row.
"Excuse me, which legion do you belong to? We are the newly formed scavenger troops, and we have come to deal with the plague beasts. ”
The door of the ground fortress slowly opened, and out of it came a swaying fat man, with dark circles on his face, he should have not slept well for a long time.
Wang Xiaobiao was in the critical period of developing jade bullets, and was interrupted by the continuous shouts outside, and he was in a very unhappy mood. "If you ask someone something, report your name first."
"I'm the commander of the scavenger force, Roger, and I'm meeting for the first time, and I'm sure we'll cross paths in the future."
"Roger? Haven't you heard that the federal government finally felt the pain and began to send troops to save the people from fire and water? Wang Xiaobiao looked down on the government's style from the bottom of his heart, and the Falling Dust Star Domain had not yet found a conclusion, and when the disaster was in full swing, the government slowly began to act.
Roger was stunned when he heard this, obviously the other party did not belong to the federal government, so where did he belong to? Free Zone or Hunter's Guild?
The free zone is now difficult to protect itself, and the Hunters' Guild has never heard of any force that is so strong, as far as the eye can see, the barracks are fluttering flags, and the soldiers patrolling are neatly groomed, no worse than the regular legions.
"We have done our best to rush to various battlefields as quickly as possible through the government's selection, but the calamity beasts are different from all the creatures we have seen in the past, although they themselves have no entity and no energy core, they can have this kind of combat power, and they will fuse and heal themselves, which is really difficult to deal with."
"The government? Bah. "In recent years, the government has not known where to spend a lot of money, and the army's equipment has not been upgraded for decades, and there is obviously a technological gap with the outside world.
While the two sides were talking, the spacecraft in the shadows not far away landed steadily on the landing platform.
"Who are these people?" Ma Yang walked to Wang Xiaobiao's side, and the Peng family sisters and brothers behind him also saw Roger.
They had crossed paths at the Institute several times, which led Roger to mistakenly believe that the team was under the management of the Institute, and that there was a special way to subdue the Scourge Beasts.
"They should be the newly formed scavenger special unit. Roger, are you the captain now? ”
"Peng Wange, it's a coincidence that I met you here." When he looked at Peng Wange, he couldn't help rubbing his hands, obviously a little nervous.
"That's a lot easier, we need a guide who knows the surroundings, you can follow us in."
Ma Yang naturally understood what she meant, and along the way, she saw disaster beasts spreading all over the place, destroying the city almost as much as they wanted, which made Peng Wange feel powerless.
But now the one who has the best hope of completely destroying the disaster beast is the team led by Ma Yang.
Entering the transformed research room, all kinds of instruments that have never been seen before are operating normally, making dripping sounds from time to time, and the monitors hanging around are staring at the disaster beasts of nearby planets, carrying observers from the shadows to the vicinity, quietly observing them to prevent sudden changes.
Many machines have not been seen in the Federal Research Institute, and as Wang Xiaobiao moves, these machines assist in the operation of various equipment.
Led everyone to the laboratory specializing in the study of plague beasts, in a square container more than four meters high, soaking sleeping plague beasts. The fused creature was anesthetized by a special potion, and by dissecting it, it tried to study deeper problems.
Why did the plague beast come into being? After knowing about the Five Elements Natural Disaster, Wang Xiaobiao wanted to study its principle, but he didn't know anything about scientific research, even if he bought all the professional research equipment, he still couldn't see what the way was.
"I have studied the body structure of this disaster beast, and there is no progress so far, and I don't know anything about biology at all, but now I can know that jade can bring great harm to disaster beasts, and it seems that these creatures are very afraid of jade." Pushing open the iron door on the inside, he reached out and moved the cheap jade stacked in the doorway.
"I understand this, I didn't expect you to have quite complete equipment here." Peng Wange simply fiddled with the equipment, put the disaster beast slice and jade slice into it, and lay down under the ultra-miniature microscope to observe it carefully.
The composition of the calamity beast is the angular energy crystal, and the composition of jade is a common molecular linker, but the moment the two meet, there is an inexplicable state change, and a small number of molecules will be consumed, and the energy crystals will evaporate.
In other words, as long as the jade comes into contact with the disaster beast, it can cause a rapid consumption of energy, and the healing of the disaster beast also requires energy supply, which cuts off the recovery ability of the disaster beast from the root.
Seeing the young scientist who was lying on the research table and observing carefully, Ma Yang made a gesture to Wang Xiaobiao.
The main reason why he brought the two back was that there were no scientists who could invent and create in the War Department except for an amateur like Wang Xiaobiao, but now that he did, he had to find a way to keep this eldest lady by his side.
The most shocking thing was Roger, who had never seen these expensive research equipment in a civilian family, and was able to be chosen to be the captain of the team because of the high mortality rate of scavengers. From entering the army at the age of sixteen, twenty years have passed now, and the prestige accumulated over the years has made him the most suitable candidate.
Roger knew very well in his heart that those officials in the military department were all greedy for life and afraid of death, and letting the condemned prisoners rush into the domain gate of the Zhiji Star Field first as cannon fodder is the best proof. Moreover, the supreme commander at that time was not a member of the direct line of the ruling faction of the military department.
The Scavenger Corps is constantly increasing in size, selecting troops from all over the place, and even if they die in the war against the plague beasts, they only need to pay a negligible cost of compassion.
The increase in population indicates the depreciation of life
Nowhere is this more evident than in warfare, the number of casualties has reached an alarming number on the first day of the Plague Beast Turmoil, and night has just fallen, in which the Plague Beast tirelessly wreaks havoc.
"Jade does have a restraining effect, but the most important thing to catch them is the weapon that fires jade, right?" Peng Wange took the results of the analysis and put them in front of everyone.
"Sure enough, it's much more reliable than the fat man, these machines cost a lot of money, and now I've met the master. What do you think? Do you want to stay with me for a while? I don't think the Federal Research Institute has all the equipment here. Ma Yang finally threw out an olive branch.
Peng Wange's eyelashes trembled, and she was a little hesitant in her heart. During her time at the institute, she saw scientists smuggling contraband items with the Voyagers, and the government seemed to be on the lookout for them, making it difficult to apply for funding every time.
