Volume I, Section 234 Divergence
"Haig, you fucking give Lao Tzu a quick ββββ"
Su Hao backhanded over a bloody corpse that rushed towards him, and fine beads of sweat had oozed from the tip of his upturned nose. His expression was fierce, and he continued to release a powerful sense of thinking.
"Hurry up, we won't last long."
"Don't slow down, let your damn guys run faster, I'm going to see results right away.
"And you, Haig, you have to be more careful, retreat immediately after completing the predetermined plan, run as far as you can, you must give me a whole piece and a lot of ββββ to come back"
The last sentence, especially the word "be careful", made Haig, who was giving orders, a little stunned.
The dazed-looking mouse forcefully followed the saliva and unreasonably emitted a brainwave that inquired about consciousness: "My master, you...... What do you say? β
Su Hao's face was cold, and his hands and body were full of flesh and blood of mutated creatures. He didn't stop the movements of his hand at all, his attack speed became faster and faster, and the depths of his pupils released a vivid killing intent.
"Lao Tzu told you to hurry up, you are not allowed to dieββββ"
The words with the dirty words had an unusually strong stimulating effect in Haig's mind.
All along, the relationship between Haig and Su Hao was only command and obedience. Haig has always only regarded Su Hao as the master, but he has no more initiative. But now, this chubby mutant mouse suddenly has subtle feelings that even it can't explain.
Master...... He ordered me to go back alive, and not a lot of them.
I'm not alone, and although I'm a mutated creature, I'm able to get the love of my master.
Yes, he cared about me, and it felt amazing, far more than the brain satisfaction of eating meat and having sex.
He remembered me as he remembered the emotions of the hostess of Xinyan and the master. It's gentle, it's intimate, it's warm, and it's fucking nice to have someone caring.
Haig's logical thinking was a bit confused. Humans, insects, rats, bats...... The miscellaneous genes interfere with each other, and the concept of interest in them is somewhat difficult to distinguish even itself. Even Su Hao himself didn't expect that a very simple sentence would actually make Haig reverie and stimulate it to surge with extraordinary excitement.
"Come out, my sons and daughters"
In the dark corner of the farmhouse, Haig sat on a hen lying half-dead on the ground with both legs and wings bitten off, while poking his paws into the sockets of the hen's eyes, gouging out the eyes and putting them in his mouth to chew slowly, while diverging his mind and issuing orders to each controlled mouse.
"Black One to Black One Hundred, take all the cheap goods and waste around you, and move eastward."
"Black one hundred and one to black two hundred, and began to move southward. Legs and feet are sharp, don't procrastinate
"And you, all the little ones after the Black Two Hundred and One, all drive to the east, and run up and act coquettishly, so that the big monsters can see you and be attracted by your graceful figure. Remember, behave like a woman with discontented desires...... Oh, it's supposed to be a female mouse. Anyway, writhe your ass a little more, fart a little more, and let those guys smell youββββ"
Under Haig's foul-mouthed commands, the darkness-shrouded wilderness was no longer silent, and swarms of rats sprang out among the grass, woods, and rocks. They numbered in the hundreds of thousands, forming three groups of different sizes, which were running wildly towards the east, south, and north according to Haig's orders.
If it weren't for Haig, Su Hao wouldn't have led the assault force to come to the rescue at all.
If the enemy that needs to be faced is only thousands of mutated creatures, then Su Hao can completely handle it. However, he could not fight the ensuing creature frenzy. At such times, the only recourse is Haig.
After transforming from an insect to a mouse, Haig's long-imprisoned ability was finally unleashed.
This guy raped a large number of female mice. Perhaps because of the stimulating effect of black particles on the circulatory system of cells and humils, the gestation and delivery period of female rats is greatly advanced. The strong demand for food in the young rats has far exceeded the supply limit of the female mice. These starving young rats sucked the mother's milk, not even the blood and urine. They have teeth since birth, and they directly tear the body of the mother mouse, gnawing one in two.
In order to feed these hungry offspring, Haig had to control more rats, ordering them to hunt everywhere. Birds, snakes, frogs, cats and dogs, and even lone mutated creatures roaming the wild have become targets for huge rat colonies.
A rat certainly can't deal with a cat.
But a cat is definitely no match for dozens of mice.
When thousands of rats pounce on a bloody corpse or humanoid, the relationship between the hunter and the food is instantly reversed. Although they struggled desperately, they could only be torn apart under the gnawing again and again. Eventually, only bones remained.
Relying on the flesh and blood from these different animals, nearly 500 young rats began to thrive. They grow and develop at an astonishing rate, and in just one week, they are close to adult males, and their running speed and movements are unusually agile.
This is not normal.
Among them, what plays a decisive role is the black particles from Su Hao's body? Or is it Haig's complex and chaotic genetic cells? Or is it a virus? No one can tell the truth, and Haig, the rat father, is also confused. At the beginning, the rape of the female mouse was largely to vent, but who knew that Lu Dao actually ran out of a large number of such a strong son and daughter. Their appetites were so great that even Haig himself was terrified when he saw them. From that time on, it no longer thought about rats and "worker bees", but thought about how to kill this horde of horrible and crazy offspring.
After all, there can only be one high-level creature as strong and weird as himself. No one can guarantee that there will be a stronger existence than themselves in these boys? It's not uncommon for rats to fight each other and eat their own kind. Of course, it is natural for a father to eat his son. But with his son eating his father, Haig was completely unacceptable in terms of theory and emotion.
What's more, in animal populations, in order to optimize genes, the most powerful individuals are often selected for mating.
Haig is undoubtedly the most distinctive and powerful of all the rats. But it has a large group of daughters. In case those little ones took a fancy to themselves that day, under the control of instinct, a certain strong daughter forced Haig to turn herself over, rode on top of her father majesticly, and sang loudly songs like "Free Flight" in a wild and savage manner...... Haig couldn't resist it. The number of his own daughters was too much, and hundreds of female mice with black particles poured up, and even if he squeezed Haig into a mouse, it would not be able to satisfy their surging desires.
The best way to do this is to dispose of them as soon as possible while they are still young and absolutely obedient to their mouse father.
Haig's descendants have inherited his strong ability to think and perceive. These guys, who had just given birth and were no different in physique from adult males, had already controlled all the rats in the surrounding area, and the total number was about 200,000. Under Haig's command, they formed three huge clusters and quickly pounced on the dense array of mutated creatures.
In the sky shrouded in night, three large early warning planes are flying back and forth in the north, west and south along their respective routes, using various on-board instruments to monitor the situation on the ground.
AWACS aircraft to the south were the first to spot the anomaly.
On the huge surveillance screen, a large part of the dense signal representing mutated creatures with a reddish-yellow heat source suddenly shifted to the south. It's like the tide rushing against the beach, split in half by a huge reef, and the flow begins to diverge in additional directions.
The young telecommunications surveillance officer immediately issued an early warning: "Commander, there is an emergency here, and there is a diversion of the biological frenzy. β
"What did you say?"
The major, who was standing in front of the data collector, immediately walked over, put his hand on the soldier's chair, leaned over, and looked at the screen with a cautious and nervous gaze. After nearly half a minute, he asked with a puzzled face, "Huh?" What's going on here? β
The power of the creature frenzy lies in the sheer number of mutated creatures. If they are scattered or divided into clusters of hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands, the battlefield situation becomes easier to deal with, and the military headquarters will also send combat units according to the number of each biota.
The pheromone method proposed by Su Hao is an extremely effective invention. Driven by this new method of warfare, which had never been implemented before, some imaginative officers also began to try different methods to divert the biological frenzy.
The Air Force is dispatched to drop bombs that do not exceed the specified yield within the specified range.
Animal estrogen is released in adjacent areas.
Large-scale airdropping of poison over a large area.
Even, in the middle of the biological frenzy, a large area of strong acid is released......
These methods have been more or less effective, but the negative effects are also significantββββ many mutant organisms are affected by hormones and break away from the group and begin to mate. The poison is far less lethal than it seems, and has almost no effect. Even with erosive mustard gas, the skin of mutant organisms can still heal in a short time. As for strong acids...... They did curb the progress of the biological frenzy in the first place. However, as the frequency of air force attacks increased, mutant creatures began to evade aircraft. They actively avoid the spreading area and change their course when they spot an aircraft. The most surprising thing is that they know how to use the "" type of running to avoid ...... Obviously, the human mind is still present in them and is becoming the basis for the generation of evolutionary intelligence.
However, no method used has been able to induce a diversion of the biological frenzy. They seem to have a keen interest in the routed troops heading west along the road. Except for some mutated creatures flocking to the north and south respectively, about 70 percent of the creature frenzy that rushed out of Hefei City still flocked to Xinnanyang.
"Report the situation to the military department ββββ"
The colonel reacted immediately, quickly issuing a series of instructions: "Connect Air Sentinels 1 and 3, ask about their observations, send a telegram to the adjacent theater of operations, ask them if they have sent ground troops?"
Air Sentinels No. 1 and No. 3, referring to two other AWACS aircraft.
The news was quickly fed back ββββ there was no military operation in the adjacent area, and all troops were on standby within the cordon. In addition to the rout troops withdrawn from the Hefei theater, there were only a small number of civilians operating in the wilderness.
The colonel frowned involuntarily.
Since the outbreak of the virus, human beings have somewhat understood the basic living habits of mutant organisms. Without a large team of creatures, i.e. food as an attraction, they usually don't shift their course of action. In order to change the course of the onslaught of the biological frenzy, the military headquarters and the Joint Staff Council racked their brains almost by all means. However, right under his nose, the mutated creatures that rushed all the way from Hefei City actually began to divert without warning?
Looking at the screen, the colonel's did not get tighter and tighter, falling into deep thought.
The telecommunications surveillance soldier kindly interjected: "Could it be the fixed habits of those monsters?" Maybe they're tired of running and want to spread out and find a place to rest? β
The colonel clasped his hands to his chest and shook his head in silence.
While there is some truth in the words of the surveillance soldiers, the probability is very small. If you compare the habits of the earth's creatures with the mutated creatures, there is little or no overlap at all.
On the main screen of the AWACS aircraft, the figure of a major general soon appeared.
The colonel immediately raised his right arm and gave a military saluteββββ he knew this major general, who was a principal in charge of the military command department, who was unsmiling and had great power.
The Major General didn't care about the apparent etiquette and said bluntly: "Sky Sentinel Two, we have received a message from you. Now, we need more detailed and accurate data. Immediately monitor the diverted bio-frenzy, and quickly assess the types and numbers of mutated organisms after the divergence, as well as the area and direction of their movements. In addition, you need to monitor all the weather data in the area from the day before yesterday to today. This includes the temperature difference between day and night and the humidity of the air, as well as the movement of people in the area. β
The same command was also transmitted to the other two AWACS aircraft along the airwaves. The only difference is the "Sky Sentinel III", which is responsible for the western direction. Compared to the east and south, the fighting is not on a large scale, but it is no less intense than at any other time.
The command center of the military headquarters was brightly lit, and a huge electronic screen had risen on the flat white wall.
Compared to the noisy and chaotic scene of the conference room, the atmosphere in the command center was tense and serious. Only officers wearing special insignia are allowed to enter this room, and the staff is at least a warrant officer. Complex electronics take up most of the space, and on several large electronic monitoring platforms, there are also three-dimensional touch screens composed of virtual light waves and simulated images.
"According to the information sent back by Air Sentinel 2, starting from UU points at night today, the mutated biota generated by the Battle of Hefei began to diverge. The dispersion angles are due east, northeast and southeast. The diversion part is about 70 percent of the biological frenzy, and the specific number is being counted, and roughly calculated, it should be no less than 1.3 million. β
"The first, second, and fourth theaters in the southeast all gave information feedback at the first time. No reinforcements were sent from any theater command, and no large-scale civilian activity was detected by thermal monitors in the corresponding area. We have examined all the civilian heat signals detected in the war zone, and there are only 341 cases in total. Judging from the location and angle of appearance, there should be no direct connection with the diversion of mutant organisms. β
"We are retrieving all the results of the airdrop over the past week. So far, except for the reinforcements led by Colonel Su Hao from the west, there is nothing abnormal in the third theater of operations in the southeast. There is little change in the air, humidity, and temperature differences, and there are no natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. According to the preliminary judgment of the General Staff Headquarters, the abnormal diversion of the biological frenzy is likely to be caused by the subsequent changes caused by pheromones and strong acid warfare, rather than human factors. β
A young captain who was trained held an electronic information display screen and reported the current situation to the generals one by one. However, this information, which has been repeatedly calculated by the computer and obtained from the perspective of research and facts, has not produced the desired effect in the slightest. Several senior generals, including General Zhao Zhikai, looked solemn and their eyes were full of doubts.
"Why is this happening? Su Hao led the team from the new Nanyang base city. It stands to reason that mutated creatures should be attracted in that direction. But for what, the biological frenzy is diverted at this time? And it's still three shares? To the east, to the south, to the north, is there no west? β
"I'm getting more and more confused, what is the reason for the diversion of mutated organisms? Without warning, our monitoring of the surrounding area has never relaxed, and there are no blind spots. It's weird that this kind of thing is happening right right under our noses. β
"We should immediately send additional AWACS aircraft to the third theater of operations in the southeast to expand the search area and look for any valuable intelligence. Although the 184th Army was defeated, as long as the inducing factors for the diversion of mutant organisms were mastered, then this defeat was worth it. That would change the course of the war. Perhaps, the reality of biological warfare is not as bad as we think. We can build on this and look for patterns from it. β
The generals were arguing and expressing their opinions, but no substantive orders were given to the biological diversion.
Zhao Zhikai looked at the screen with a calm face. His brows tightened and his eyes flickered, and no one knew what he was thinking.
About half a minute later, Zhao Zhikai stood up from the first command seat, did not greet anyone, and was not accompanied by an adjutant, walked into the special elevator of the command center alone, and used his wrinkled thin fingers to press the "P3" layer button on the elevator wall.
