Chapter 1622: Giant Plaka
Compared to Wu Chen, an outsider player, Alice 1049, as a character in the play, obviously knows more details about the Baomu ecology.
What's more, "the tadpole goes looking for its mother" is also a very vivid metaphor. When the "Bombus spores" explode, the splashing toxins and young shoots cannot infect more organisms, so they will desperately want to return to the "mother body". This is almost the instinct of living things, regardless of mutation or not.
The V22 female aircrews from Shipwreck Bay were also experts in doomsday survival. Without any orders from Alice 1049 or Wu Chen, they searched for a huge (salt crystal) cluster in an ideal location, and with the help of their powerful power armor, they soon dug out a crystal cave shelter with a considerable area that was large enough to accommodate three aircraft.
The crystalline seabed that can isolate the ecosystem of the Boom is also the last refuge left by the Green Star for mankind.
Therefore, survivors often refer to the refuge ships that were transformed after the "Raccoon City Incident" to deal with the biochemical crisis as (sea) mobile shelters. The reason why "sea" was omitted later was because the seawater was gradually sucked dry by the typhoon trees. At the beginning of the "wooden catastrophe", these refuge ships could still move in granular sea salt crystals. This is like sand boats and sleds can move in granular materials such as "sand dunes" and "snow". Wu Chen can even imagine the survivors on the refuge ship trying their best to modify the propeller engine or install huge sails to drive the mobile shelter through the salt crystals. The surging sea salt crystals, the magnificent seabed, and the refuge ships with sails filled, sailing in the apocalyptic storm after the Green Star Cataclysm, are very vivid (tsk tsk, the adults are really the pinnacle of imagination!).
As for finding crystalline water, that should be done after the shelter ship solidifies into salt crystals.
Temporarily frozen in the salt crystals, breathing with the aircraft's own air circulation system, there is no need to worry about suffocation due to lack of oxygen. The oxygen content on the Green Star is so dense that it is toxic and people cannot breathe freely. Wearing a biochemical suit with a respirator is the minimum guarantee of survival. Survivors who are accustomed to the environment of the Green Star have eliminated the danger of suffocation.
As we all know, the hardness of salt crystals is not high, the same as gypsum (Mohs hardness is 2.0-2.5). It only takes a few minutes to break out of the shell. All you need to do is step on the accelerator and "break through the wall".
"Chen, the bite marks of the giant creature left on the dead vines did not come from the 'submarine bug'." The Queen of the Citadel, "Princess Fury" Furiosa, did not relax for a moment.
"Hmm?" Wu Chen immediately thought of a possibility: "Could it be that this is not a 'big pot stew', but..."
"'A crow's nest.'" Furiosa, the Queen of the Citadel, also thought of it: "'Submarine Bug' is a chick that is crying for food, and the old crow that left the nest is out looking for food."
"So what's missing is not the main ingredient, but the master of this nest." Wu Chen immediately informed everyone: "Everyone be careful, the secondary mutant of the 'submarine worm' just now is not the complete form!"
"Sir?" Liz Keeling, captain of V22-A team, and Vanessa King, captain of V22-B team, spoke again at the same time.
As soon as the words came out, the "sprouted potatoes" scattered around exploded one after another. A large amount of disgusting toxins and young sprouts were sprayed out, as if a terrible biochemical hailstorm had fallen, covering the entire previous battlefield. Fortunately, the crystallized seabed was completely unaffected. The "Boom spores" that "sharpened their heads" and tried their best to drill in were like bloodthirsty leeches. It's a pity that no matter how deep they drilled, they couldn't find any much-needed soil and water. What's more, the only vitality left in the larvae was sucked away by the salt crystals. Don't forget that salt is a natural desiccant. It can absorb moisture in the air and prevent moisture and mold. Therefore, the final crystallized seabed is also a forbidden area for life that the Boom ecology cannot reach. Unless they smell "water vapor", even the Boom beast is reluctant to easily set foot in.
The last surviving humans have been able to survive tenaciously to this day with the help of the doomsday black technology represented by the Umbrella Corporation. Seeing the biochemical toxins that splashed all over the field being sucked dry and scabbed into a grid-like hardened substance, and the young buds of the Boom being sucked dry by the salt crystals and curled up into a tumor-like mass, everyone felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure.
Finally, there were still some squirming sprouts left, gathering into a black trail, struggling to crawl towards the edge of the tyrannosaurus ecosystem. This is what Alice 1049 called "the tadpole looking for its mother."
Just as he was about to climb over the edge and fall into the embrace of the Bom Ecosystem, a ball of lightning crashed down from the treetops.
"Zizzi-"
The ground was full of flashes of lightning, and the young shoots of the bomb were standing upright and burned to ashes.
This is clearly a plasma attack! Could it be that there is a mobile shelter for the survivors here?
After the attacker pushed aside the bushes, everyone could see his true appearance.
That was clearly the giant insect beast that Wu Chen had expected!
The huge arthropod body, the sharp forelimbs similar to those of a mantis, the ability to resist the hard shell, and the wings hidden under the shell were not surprising. However, what surprised him was that the flashing True Vision Eye captured the familiar energy spirit circuit!
This biochemical insect beast, which has inherited various advantageous insect genes and undergone secondary mutation, must have had some plot connection with Wu Chen before!
The question is, who is “she (good detail, the one who is connected to the adults must be a female)”?
"Chen, this giant biochemical insect looks very similar, very similar..." The Queen of the Citadel, "Rage Princess" Furiosa, who was not disturbed by the unknown plot, immediately discovered the possible source of the giant insect beast: "Yes, a giant Praka parasite!"
"I see." Reminded by Firoza, Wu Chen immediately thought of the origin of "the familiar energy circuit of giant insect beasts". That's right, it was the clone of Rayne Ocampo who injected himself with the Plaka parasite in the final battle at the end of the fifth generation plot, killing all the enemies and almost annihilating all the protagonists of the previous generations!
"So, the clone of Rayne Ocampo, who injected herself with the Plaka parasite and was later dragged into the Arctic Ocean by the zombie soldiers of World War II, did not die, and even lived long enough. Long enough for Alice to smash the antidote with her own hands, and the day when 'Disinfection Day' ended the biochemical crisis." The intuition of a big player solidified by experience allowed Wu Chen to find enough plot inspiration from the energy circuit of the constantly deconstructed giant Plaka parasite: "To be precise, after being dragged to the bottom of the sea by the zombie soldiers of World War II, she was captured by the super licker and hatched into a 'biochemical cocoon'. It was not until the sea water was sucked dry by the Bom Ecology that the belated 'Disinfection Day' completely neutralized the biochemical virus in her body, allowing her to break out of the cocoon and complete three mutations. Becoming a rare Phase III clinical trial sample for the two queens."
"What Chen means is that the number of mutations is equal to the number of phases of clinical trials. One mutation is a phase I clinical trial subject. A second mutation is a phase II clinical trial subject." The Queen of the Citadel, "Princess of Fury" Furiosa, immediately realized.
"Yes, the clone of Rayne Ocampo has undergone three mutations. The first was the injection of the Plaka parasite, the second was hatched into a 'biochemical cocoon' by the Super Licker, and the third was 'Elimination Day'." Wu Chen has found a breakthrough in the plot: "So it stands to reason that 'Elimination Day' is the watershed between the two forms of mutants."
"Before 'Elimination Day' it was Biomon, and after 'Elimination Day' it was 'Baommon'." The Queen of the Citadel, "Princess Fury" Furiosa, understood immediately.
