1772 Poisonous Gas


    Charlene walked to Fang Heng’s side and whispered, “It’s a poisonous gas that the spawns discovered in their research. It can cause extreme damage to the virus, but it only targets the form of the infected spawns. Moreover, the virus is constantly regenerating, so this virus can’t be used as a conventional weapon.”


    In fact, Charlene had seen the battle information between the spawns and the mutant worms in the past. The spawns had developed several weapons to deal with the mutant worms. Unfortunately, the mutated worms’ self-evolutionary ability was too terrifying!


    In the beginning, targeted weapons were very effective. However, after experiencing a fewrge-scale battles, the mutated worms relied on their powerful mutation ability to quicklyplete their self-regeneration and mutation and soon evolved resistance to the poisonous gas.


    As a result, in theter stages of the war, the spawns rarely used poisonous gas onrge-scale battlefields.


    This virus was only used in experiments.


    Fang Heng nodded lightly.


    However, the poisonous gas had only been released for half a second when it suddenly stopped.


    Hmm, what was going on?


    As the release of the poisonous gas stopped, the already dying body gradually recovered its life. The sharp red tentacles that had fallen off began to gradually spread and cover its body.


    Charlene returned to the instrument and quickly pressed the buttons on the instrument. She observed the various data that appeared on the screen and guessed, “Perhaps because the time interval was too long, the virus stock gradually decreased and disappeared.”


    “Pfft!!”


    Tiny red tentacles emerged from the finger again and quickly wrapped around the entire finger.


    The poisonous gas just now had stimted the worm’s body even more. The worm’s body expanded at an even faster speed!


    As if it realized that it did not have long to live, the worm’s body instantly erupted with tenacious vitality and mmed into the tempered ss with all its might.


    “Bang!”


    There was a loud crash.


    “Boom!!!”


    The tempered ss, which was already full of cracks, finally could not withstand the violent impact and shattered!


    “Retreat!”


    When Fang Heng heard Charlene’s shout, he jumped back immediately!


    Charlene’s hands quickly condensed a mark in front of her.


    “Gathering!”


    The huge spiritual force crushed the heavy red worm from all directions!


    Originally, the red worm had immediately pounced towards the right side after breaking through the tempered ss. It was still in midair when it suddenly felt a huge pressure from all directions. It immediately fell from midair and twisted and rolled on the ground in pain!


    After Fang Heng jumped away andnded on the ground, he quickly took out his sniper rifle from his backpack and aimed it at the worm.


    “Bang!!!”


    A bullet shot out from the muzzle!


    [Hint: The yer has dealt 58,318 damage to an unknown lifeform.]


    The game indicated that the damage was high, but it seemed that the worm was not affected at all!


    It was still slowly expanding!


    Charlene used her spiritual power to suppress the worm and said in a deep voice, “Fang Heng, it has mutated under the influence of poisonous gas. You must be careful.”


    “Yes.”


    Fang Heng observed the worm.


    At first nce, the twisted worm body had been suppressed to the limit and did not possess any offensive power.


    It seemed to be in a special state of mutation.


    Charlene concentrated and tried topletely suppress the worm.


    Fang Heng saw that the worm did not seem to have any reaction to attack, so he whispered, “Charlene, can you continue to suppress it for a while?”


    Charlene frowned.


    She was thinking about how to get rid of the wormpletely. After hearing Fang Heng’s words, she took a few steps back and came to his side, signaling to him with her eyes what she wanted to do.


    “I want to take something from it.”


    While speaking, Fang Heng immediately controlled his zombie clones to rush toward the writhing worm on the ground.


    The zombies surrounded the bug!


    The worm’s body kept twisting under Charlene’s suppression, trying to break free, but it was tightly controlled!


    Fang Heng took out a bunch of living sample collectors from his backpack, raised his hand, and threw them at the ce where the zombie clones were gathered.


    Charlene was surprised.


    What was that?


    The zombies picked up the living sample collectors from the ground and aimed them at the struggling worm. A long loading bar appeared above their heads.


    [Hint: The yer’s zombie clone (normal form) is extracting a live sample… This state has a chance of being interrupted…]


    [Hint: The yer’s zombie clone (normal form)…]


    [Hint: The yer’s zombie clone (normal form) has sessfully obtained an unknown live sample*1.]


    Sess!


    Although the worm was still struggling on the ground, it did not have any offensive ability. This distortion made it difficult to interrupt the sample extraction.


    Charlene looked at Fang Heng in surprise and reminded him, “Fang Heng, it’s in a very dangerous situation right now. Its current state should be some kind of transformation. Once itpletes its transformation, we might not be able to deal with it with our current abilities.”


    “Yes, I understand. Give me one more minute.”


    “Alright, help meter. We’ll ce it into the spatial turbulence.”


    Fang Heng was also staring at the worm. After half a second of silence, he asked, “Is there any other way to get rid of itpletely?”


    Charlene looked at Fang Heng in surprise.


    Fang Heng didn’t say anything either. He quickly thought of a response n.


    He wanted to give it a try.


    Throwing the worm into the spatial turbulence could solve the problempletely, but at the same time, he could not obtain more rewards.


    Creatures that were thrown into the spatial turbulence would not drop anything.


    It was very likely that the worm was amander-level creature. After killing it, it would drop a high-level mutant crystal.


    Secondly, Fang Heng had a premonition that there might be a follow-up mission after killing the worm. At the very least, it could increase thepletion rate of the main mission.


    His main missionpletion rate had increased to 240%.


    The entire mausoleum was almost fully explored.


    If there was still room for improvement in missionpletion…


    It was most likely rted to killing the worm!


    Considering that he had a big move and the powerful Charlene was cooperating with him, the sess rate ofpletely killing the worm leader was not low.


    “You…”


    Charlene saw the obvious desire to fight in Fang Heng’s eyes and could not help but be puzzled.


    Was he going to do this?


    She could feel that the power of the worm’s body was rapidly being withdrawn. This was a sign that its power was gradually being controlled. This meant that the worm would soonplete its mutation.


    “Fang Heng, I can’t estimate the strength of the mutant worm body. It might not be something we can deal with now…”


    “Try it!”


    Charlene looked into Fang Heng’s eyes to confirm his intention. She was sure that Fang Heng was serious!


    She was extremely curious. Why was Fang Heng so confident that he could deal with the mutant?


    “Are you confident?”


    “No, I am not.”


    Charlene did not expect to hear this answer, “Hmm?”


    “Don’t be afraid. There’s a special space anyway. If we can’t defeat it, we’ll just hide.”


    Fang Heng looked excited and did not panic at all. He shrugged confidently and said, “Aren’t the people from the Federation already on their way here? If we can’t beat the mutant, we can treat this as a greeting gift to the Federation.”
