Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Strange Way to Open the Door

Then Delto sent someone to pick him up and tell him that there was a new breakthrough in the lab.

After Fang Linyan followed, he found that when he was sleeping, Delto seemed to have overcome all kinds of dangers and successfully broke into the power supply room.

The entire perimeter of the abandoned laboratory has been re-energized, and upon entering, it can be found that the previous chandeliers on the top of the work area have all been lit, probably due to disrepair, at least a third of the top lights are not lit, but the previous darkness has been expelled without a trace.

In the tunnel, Delto has people set up a lot of traps, mines, mines, etc., which seems to be a precautionary plan to prevent possible attacks by hostile companies.

After some inquiry, I learned that after receiving a request for help from Delto, the scientific research department of Darkland Company quickly found a countermeasure.

Something that could turn people into dried corpses was a half-developed bioweapon by the Blood Umbrella Company: it was called Eumenides, the name of the legendary god of vengeance.

Specifically, Omeniedes is a strange mutant fungus created by mixing fragments of the genes of three organisms.

Of the three types of mothers that produce this fungus, the most important is a fungus called the Hemisaurus fungus.

They still exist today, and they parasitize a species of ant called the laidback ant today. Ants can be manipulated by secreted chemicals.

Once they have come to the most suitable environment for fungal growth (according to statistics, such locations are generally in north-facing forests, about 25 cm above the surface, with a humidity of 94%-95% and a temperature of 20-30°C), they will start to climb up the leaves and bite the leaves with their jaws with all their might.

An even more exaggerated scene is yet to come, when the zombie ant bites the leaf, the fungus will quickly destroy the muscle fibers in the ant's jaw, and destroy all the energy-producing mitochondria in it.

In this way, the poor ant, who is completely weak, can no longer control its jaws and is forced to bite to death on the leaves and remain motionless.

This bizarre pattern of behavior is known as the "Death Bite".

After this, the fungus will begin to multiply among the soft tissues of the ant's body, and soon kill the host, and when a large number of hyphae multiply in the dead ant's corpse, it will eventually break through the ant's exoskeleton, forming a terrifying parasitic scene.

After the body is broken, the lateral snake Cordyceps fungus on the ant's body will release spores on this leaf and continue to reproduce offspring. The entire process can last from four to ten days.

Another kind of female parent is very famous, called Cordyceps.

The last type of female parent is an animal named Gordius nematode, which is parasitic on the body of the praying mantis and can manipulate the host to go to the water's edge, drown the host with the water source and then emerge from the host.

This biological weapon of Omenydes is a collection of three biological genetic fragments, mainly transmitted through spores, whether it is contact or inhalation, the original design concept is that after inhaling its spores, it will quickly absorb water in the human body, secrete paralyzing toxins, and kill them in a short time.

Then absorb the nutrients in the human body, mature in a short time, and continue to spread the spores wildly, its maturation cycle is about two and a half hours, in the original design, Eumenides can wipe out the entire barracks of soldiers overnight.

However, Eumenides has never been able to avoid a very fatal flaw, that is, it can cause sudden death of the population due to genetic defects, which is also a common problem of artificial creatures.

This means that when such artificial creatures reproduce for several generations, because of some places that have not been considered in the design, there will be mutations, which will directly lead to the sudden extinction of the entire population.

This defect is difficult to bypass, just like the mule crossed by a horse and a donkey has no reproductive ability, and the liger beast crossed by a tiger and a lion has no reproductive ability, but also has an obvious defective IQ and does not have a long lifespan.

In response to the shortcomings of Omenices, the scientific research department specially designed a special countermeasure spray, and then also used the ultra-high-altitude delivery method to send it to Delto's team.

The spray contains the nutrients and hormones that Omeniedes needs most, allowing it to multiply in large numbers in a short period of time, which can easily trigger mutations that can cause the extinction of a genetically defective virus in Omeniedes.

However, the missing man was never found.

While Fang Linyan was sleeping, the outer area here had been cleaned up, and he also knew some secrets about Veronica's laboratory back then.

The reason why the laboratory is divided into two parts AB is because they are now in Part A, which hides an amazing secret!

This secret even led directly to a split in the top management of the Blood Umbrella Company at that time, with some people investing huge resources here, and others believing that it was not worth placing a heavy bet here.

If it weren't for this infighting, which led to the great damage to the vitality of the Blood Umbrella Company, it is difficult to say whether this behemoth would have been forced to break up after being suppressed by the government.

There is also a secret that the nature of base A where they are at this time is a research base, and base B is a logistics base.

The specific location here is not near the Pamir Plateau as Fang Linyan had guessed before, but in the mountains on the southern side of the Karakum Desert, 300 kilometers west of the Pamir Plateau.

In Base B, there is a large natural dark river that has been transformed into an underwater passage, which can stretch for a distance of almost 70 kilometers and directly connect to the Caspian Sea!

Supplies for the entire base are regularly delivered by a mysterious U-shaped submarine.

The trajectory of this submarine is to first go up from the bottom of the water to two or three hundred meters to the mouth of the large dark river, which is located underground and has been specially widened.

The Blood Umbrella Company built a large docking dock here to transport daily necessities and scientific research materials to the dock, and then transfer them into the logistics base through a series of ways.

With such a covert method, it is no wonder that this base has been operating for so many years without being discovered.

Hearing what Delto said, many of the questions that Fang Linyan had been haunting in his heart before were easily solved, there is a way that it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, although he is good at planning, but he knows too little information and it will not work after all,

At this time, Fang Linyan was almost certain that what Delto knew had not been revealed, but this did not prevent him from changing his plan and then seeking greater benefits for himself!

So, Fang Linyan contacted the goat again, and after the two sides exchanged information again, a conspiracy began to be launched.......

At this time, Delto took Fang Linyan to another place.

Behind Delto, the expressionless subjects continued to follow faithfully.

The place they were now in was in front of the main passage gate that connected the peripheral work area to the core experimental area.

The gate looked to have been carefully examined, and it was found to be made of titanium steel, with a mirror-smooth surface that could be seen with some scars, but it was completely undamaged in its sturdiness.

Delto said to Fang Linyan:

"According to the information we have collected so far, the inner part of Veronica has formed an independent system from the outside world, and it is not even ruled out that the inner layer even has its own special ecological cycle. ”

When Delto said this, Fang Linyan still didn't know what he wanted to express, but he heard Delto continue:

"To open this door, you need the key to open it...... You've read that Loni Hale diary, and I wonder if there's any clues?"

Fang Linyan looked around and found that Delto did not bring Ishida with him at this time, this should be the power of the superior------- Ishida already knew a lot of things in charge of the development of the peripheral laboratory, so the next exploration must have nothing to do with him------- and Fang Linyan was able to sleep for several hours before, I believe it was also Delto's deliberate.

After these thoughts flashed in his heart, Fang Linyan looked at the door in front of him and said tentatively:

"Isn't this thing impossible to break with violence?"

Delto said lightly:

"The experts at the headquarters believe that this method should not be used unless absolutely necessary, because according to their analysis, there is a small amount of nerve fibers similar to the existence of this door, and it still maintains a considerable degree of activity. ”

In other words, it can be seen as a sapient half-living being, and if it uses violence, it is likely to choose the most optimal solution from the database, and we will lose all our money. ”

Fang Linyan pondered for a moment and said:

"Clues....... There are quite a few, can you show me this?"

Delto Tract:

"Absolutely. ”

Fang Linyan nodded, and then walked forward under the leadership of Kaul next to him, and first observed the gate and felt that it was really invulnerable, and there was no hole to drill at all.

Immediately afterwards, Kaul led him to the side, and found that there was a small passage here, only about five or six meters deep.

At the end of the small passage, there is a box the size of a coffin, made of wood and stone, and engraved with mysterious patterns on the surface.

And on this box, three weird giant palms stretched out, unevenly arranged, each palm has a wood-grain-like texture on the surface, and only three fingers.

If you look closely, you will know that the essence of this giant palm is somewhat similar to the gear knob of a car, which can be held and pulled at will, in other words, in order to successfully open the door, you must pull these three giant palms to a specific position!

Faced with such a situation, Fang Linyan understood one thing, that is, why Delto still has relevant program experts here, but he still has to find himself, because this kind of password, to be honest, is completely beyond the scope of programs and computers, and no matter how sharp the experts are, it is useless!
