“As you wish. These are the numbers from a few experiments. Currently, it looks as if the high ranked abyss Zerg still cannot survive in a normal environment. But those which are two ranks lower have a 1% chance of surviving, and these can quickly adapt to the environment in a short timespan. Through dissection, we realized that their genetic sequence had begun to mutate. The flesh and cells automatically undergo fission to produce some acidic substance. This must be the reason they can continue to survive…”
“Have we tried artificially replicating this substance?”
“Presently, the experiments are ongoing. The difficulty of combinations is extreme, but we are thinking of ways to overcome it.”
“Mm, well these problems can be left for the future. The most crucial thing now is the Zerg’ mental control levels, and the final safety measures…”
As the discussion concluded, Butcher gathered everybody, and revealed the true purpose of this mission.
“As everyone has just heard, this research base is currently performing experiments to manufacture and control Zerg. But these are no normal stellar Zerg, but rather the abyss Zerg that you have faced in the school’s simulation systems! Of course, they’re of a much lower rank than the abyss soldier Zerg…” Butcher said solemnly.
Humankind was currently using genetic engineering to recreate abyss Zerg, and modify them. One goal was to find a weakness of the abyss Zerg. Another was to fight fire with fire, just like how different termite colonies would fight. Of course, all of the abyss Zerg had been fitted out with biological insurance. A biological grenade had been strapped to their crucial spots. At the first sign of trouble, they would be eradicated at the press of a button.
Wang Zheng and Zhang Shan exchanged looks. Both had thought of the same unpleasant matter at the same time.
Perhaps seeing the two’s unease, “Are you worried about worms escaping and other such problems?”
Wang Zheng nodded. “Previously, we encountered similar problems. It was a regular Zerg training ground, but the worms concealed themselves…”
Siemen Kuang shook his head. “We would not make such elementary mistakes. Besides, we are growing abyss Zerg here. The entire base is severely guarded. Even a mosquito would have trouble getting access.”
“Professor Siemen, let’s leave the concrete details for later. This visit is also for the students to get a feel of things.” Butcher said. This boy Wang Zheng was too forward as well.
“Everything has been prepared for you. If we can create a plan this time round, it would be a huge leap forward for biology!”
Siemen Kuang beamed. He was clearly happy that the research had made such breakthroughs. This was the program he supervised, after all. The research could possibly create a controllable abyss Zerg army, and also identify the super genetic sequence of the abyss Zerg that made them stand out from ordinary Zerg. What could the underlying cause be?
Without question, the time had come for biology to shine. This was also the impetus for the plan’s beginnings. Of course, to gain military approval, it had to have a military reason, which was controlling the Zerg, and fighting Zerg with Zerg.
It had been killing two birds with a stone since then. The discovery of the super gene in the research was like discovering the nucleus. Humanity moved a step closer to the secrets of life.
Butcher definitely wanted to have an in-depth discussion with the research team. Wang Zheng and the rest were escorted by personnel to their temporary accommodations.
It had to be said, the hardware here was excellent. This program was under the Milky Way headquarters’ direct supervision, watched by the military and sponsored by the large financial conglomerates. A heavy-duty project.
“Welcome, bright talents of the galaxy, to Gemini Star. I am Tamil, your service staff for everything on the base.” Tamil smiled. She was about the same height as Ao Ziwei, but their maturity was different. Although Gemini Star girls were not tall, but they were very shapely. In business attire, only Gemini Star girls could be at once loli and mature beauty.
“I’m Zhang Shan. Pleased to meet you, beautiful. Can we come to you for any need?” Zhang Shan had been whipped to death by Wang Zheng’s training, and since their arrival, things had been all sorts of boring. To suddenly find such a warm and inviting Gemini Star beauty had stirred the romance in his heart again.
Tamil smiled sweetly. “Of course, that’s my job. Oh, right, besides those areas marked with a danger sign which are prohibited from access, every other area is open. The rooms have televisions which have live programs on the Zerg. That’s a specialty of ours here, which no one else has.”
Zhang Shan waved it off. “What’s so interesting about that, I would rather find out more about Gemini Star…”
BAM
From one side, Lie Xin could not resist kicking somebody. “Miss Tamil, this rogue likes to shoot his mouth. Thank you.”
“Lie Xin. You’re looking beautiful. We Gemini Star girls can only dream of a figure like yours.”
Lie Xin was a little embarrassed. “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Don’t you see all these rascals with their tongues hanging out over you?”
“Lie Xin, we both know the truth. Don’t spread lies about me. Everybody loves beauty, and I am known for my sincerity, cuteness, and being an absolute gentleman.” Zhang Shan said.
“Lie Xin, Tamil’s words are true. I envy you. If only I could be as tall.” Ao Ziwei said. Because they were familiar, Ao Ziwei was very direct. This was also a characteristic of Gemini Star people. Between friends, they rarely held back.
“That’s enough from the two of you. Lie Xin is the type of girl who will swell up naturally. If you keep stoking her ego, she’ll be able to fly soon.” Zhang Shan could not resist poking some fun at her.
Lie Xin suddenly turned to Zhang Shan with all of her charm. “You mean I’m not attractive to you?”
A life of her bosom, and a shapely leg stepping forward. In an instant, Zhang Shan was swooning. This vixen was crazy. What was going on.
“Keke, you’re not my type. I think Wang Zheng is more suited for you.” Zhang Shan immediately booted the ball out of his court. Luckily Wang Zheng was around.
“Wang Zheng, I’m a fan.” Tamil smiled, inclining her head and eyeing Wang Zheng. She revealed a creamy neck, decorated only with a simple silver chain. In the center nestled a pure pearl, which complemented the cuteness of Gemini Star girls.
“You are too kind.” Wang Zheng said. Why would she be a fan of him.
“Not at all. We all watched the last match of the Greatest King contest. You beat Arbiter, that was incredible!”
Tamil’s look towards Wang Zheng was also filled with interest. No girl could resist the attraction of the strong. This was an instinct. Especially those who were involved in the military, who especially favored the strong.
Wang Zheng rubbed his nose “Got lucky, is all.”
Zhang Shan signed theatrically. “I can’t come out with you anymore. You’re affecting my heroic image.”
They laughed. This time round, Wang Zheng had an additional task – to test his runic mecha, and also to nurture the abyss Zerg.
Although the runic mecha was specially made for the five of them, but it did not mean they could use it freely. They could only use it on missions. The preservation and maintenance costs were not insignificant, and it was not something that any place could do.
