CHAPTER XXIV
The research and development of long-range troops naturally failed, how can this kind of thing succeed at one time?
However, based on the two new species discovered by the Scouts sent by Sekkende's side, Taryn got some inspiration.
In fact, Taryn didn't need to directly make a creature that could spray acid, after all, that would be too complicated, he could have found a way to make the organ structure that sprayed strong acid into a separate creature, and then make it parasitic on the soldier insects, which would provide nutrients and carry them around.
However, even so, Tyron still has to weave a genetic chain that controls the basic mode of action, and he can't let the hive tyrant control those soldiers and insects to target them one by one, right?
The number of Hive Tyrants is steadily increasing. Fast used some of the Hive Tyrants as a special classroom to teach the new Hive Tyrants. Rat and bug-men are all watched by hive tyrants, watching their every move.
On the Zermen's side, the one-eyed wormman who had previously participated in burning the enemy's grain and grass had returned. And the nezumi ...... There appears to be an outbreak of disease inside, with some rat people and their livestock suddenly dying.
According to what Taryn has observed so far, the condition of this disease is as follows: the infected person usually begins to lose hair on the body, and at the same time, the patient may die at any time after this stage, after death, the green patches will explode, releasing a green mist, what it is not yet known, but it is likely to be related to the cause of the infection.
Although the lethality of this thing is extremely high, it is not so contagious, because the patient often dies within half an hour to two days after infection, and any degree of contact with him before death does not lead to infection, but after his death...... Creatures that come into contact with those green mist are infected. Including some of the scouts.
However, although the green mist spreads, it seems that it can only persist in the air for about half an hour, after which the fog will disappear, and you will not be infected if you enter the area.
The rats were quick to spot the phenomenon and quickly took quarantine measures. Isolate those who are infected. To no avail, though, infections are still emerging in safe areas after quarantine. As for the reason...... Scouts can also be infected, and they can last for a while.
Why did Tyron get the nezumi, you ask? Of course, there is a way to kill other intelligent creatures as much as possible, it is difficult for multiple different intelligent races to appear on a planet, just as the ancestors of human beings killed other human races.
Because of the difference in ideology, human beings are already eager to blow each other's heads, not to mention intelligent beings whose external forms, social structures, and physiological characteristics are completely different.
Unless it is really worth the loss to eliminate the other party, we want to coexist peacefully and develop together...... Only symbiotic beings are possible to do this.
In short, if Tylen wants to expand, he will inevitably conflict with other intelligent beings, so the only way to do this is to destroy each other.
Since sooner or later the other party will be eliminated, then when the other party is now encountering the problem of racial survival, Taryn will naturally push a hand and fall into the well and strangle the future enemy directly. And the other party didn't know that it was his own hand.
If it weren't for being too far away from the Bugmen, the Scouts wouldn't have been able to fly so far, otherwise Tyron would have managed to spread this kind of thing to the Bugmen, causing a wave of huge losses to the Bugmen by the way.
“…… Try to collect those ...... It doesn't matter if you lose a sample of the virus. "Taryn gave orders to Sebrose, who was spying on the nezumi, and I don't know if the panel can add those viruses, but it probably can't...... After all, living things have other bacteria and viruses in their bodies, and I don't see anything more on the panel. What is the screening mechanism of the panel? At present, Taryn only knows that the genes of species eaten by insects will be entered into the panel, but what about those microbes? If the Zerg didn't have biological weapons, what kind of Zerg would they be?
However, Tylen has already made up his mind to try to collect those strange viruses or bacteria, even if he loses a worm, it doesn't matter, although the queen worm is a very important existence for the reproduction of the zerg, but if it is only one, Tylen will still lose it. Anyway, it's just a fertility machine plus a gene collector.
As long as you get this kind of thing, it can work wonders against enemies who can't go head-to-head.
There is far more than one intelligent race on this planet, although I don't know how so many completely different intelligent races were born, but it is predictable that in order to compete for resources, war will inevitably break out between all intelligent races, and due to the huge gap in life forms and communication methods, it will lead to war is likely to be endless. One more means means means one more chance of survival.
"So, are you going to attack the nezumi?" Sebroth asked.
"There's no need for that." Taryn said, "I'm in charge of this myself. ”
Taryn directly took over the command of Sebrose's hive, controlling the queen and several worker insects, who carried the inconvenient insects and began to go to the nezumi city, while the scouts in the nezumi city accelerated the expansion of the infection in a suicidal way.
The rats also clearly noticed that something was wrong, and that these beetles were spreading this strange disease. They quickly changed their quarantine and used various deworming methods to eliminate the nearby beetles and contain the infection.
However, Tylen is only delaying time, once this infection does not find a new host within half an hour, then it will die out naturally, as long as it can be delayed for a while longer, so that the queen can have a chance to obtain its sample, then, Tylen can probably include this kind of thing in the gene pool, it is unlikely, but it should also be tried.
As long as you get this kind of biochemical attack and the way to defend against this kind of biochemical attack, then it doesn't matter if the development of long-range troops is put aside for the time being.
The queen quickly rushed to the vicinity of the city of the rat people, and due to the sudden outbreak of infection inside, there was hardly a single guard on the city wall, and no one found the queen of insects. Taryn ordered some of the infected scouts in the city to quickly get out of the city and feed themselves to the worms and eat them, while the others continued to spread the infection. Inflict greater damage on the nezumi as much as possible to facilitate the subsequent attacks of the swarm.
That's right, once the disease takes a toll on the nezumi to a certain extent, Tyron will send Zerg troops to attack this place and carry out the first real offensive operation to strangle the nezumi in the cradle.
