Chapter 647: Omega-Class Abnormality - Biological Template
Chapter 647: Omega-Class Abnormality - Biological Template
In the murky liquid, a large number of underdeveloped embryos floated, seemingly in a state of developmental stagnation.
"Good opportunity. It seems the Biological Template has expended a lot of resources to cultivate that bear-type synthetic beast. Otherwise, we would be facing an army of synthetic beasts," Sun Zhen said with a hint of joy in his expression.
Don't let the murky appearance of the liquid fool you; it's actually a high-energy nutrient solution. If you can get past the grossness, it's actually edible, highly nutritious, and easily absorbed. Essentially, one mouthful can invigorate you for a day or two.
Otherwise, how could it serve as the nutrient source for incubating synthetic beasts?
"Back then, giving you the protagonist’s aura was truly a far-sighted move," Qin Muye added.
"Indeed, if not for the protagonist’s aura, I wouldn't have been promoted so quickly," Sun Zhen agreed. Without the protagonist’s aura, he wouldn't have encountered so many troubles, and at the beginning, he almost became a harbinger of disaster.
Fortunately, he adapted over time, as did the members of his special task force and even the base they belonged to.
If they hadn't adapted, they would have been overwhelmed by the troubles.
However, after handling the troubles, Sun Zhen naturally earned the corresponding credit.
Clear rewards and punishments are essential, and the Global Defenders Organization excels in this aspect. They don’t just promise rewards but actually deliver them.
The group stepped into the murky liquid, feeling its obvious viscosity. However, neither Qin Muye nor Sun Zhen were the type to be fussy. Sun Zhen had experienced far more disgusting and terrifying scenes during his missions, while Qin Muye usually created such scenes himself, so this was just a minor inconvenience.
As they moved forward, they saw numerous biological skeletons standing upright, some still with flesh.
"These are the templates used for the synthetic beasts. In the initial stages, this liquid wasn't a nutrient solution but a digestive fluid, used to extract genetic material."
"Once everything was ready, the digestive fluid would be converted into a nutrient solution. However, the researchers still haven't found the source of these liquids; it's as if they appeared out of nowhere," Sun Zhen casually explained, finding the walk somewhat monotonous.
"I've always been curious. I remember the Global Defenders Organization has a confidentiality mechanism. How could you talk about it so freely?" Qin Muye asked.
"The abnormality responsible for the confidentiality mechanism escaped, so it became ineffective. Besides, this information isn't a big secret within the special task force. I've even tasted the nutrient solution produced by the Biological Template. It’s really awful, but its effects are excellent," Sun Zhen replied candidly.
What was the point of confidentiality when the Global Defenders Organization was on the verge of collapse? Even with the support of the Twelve Zodiac Doctors, there were only twelve of them.
Even if Doctor Long won, it would be the same.
"Your life has been quite colorful over the years. Everything's good except for being a bachelor," Qin Muye remarked.
Sun Zhen's face darkened immediately: "Why didn't the protagonist’s aura you gave me come with a wife? I thought I would encounter a sweet love story, but nothing happened."
"Are you blaming me for not looking? I'm still single, so how could I have the ability to arrange that for you?" Qin Muye responded with disdain. He didn’t have a wife, so how could he include that in the protagonist’s aura?
Sun Zhen fell silent, realizing Qin Muye’s point was valid. What else could he do?
The heavy topic was quickly dropped, as it was too inappropriate.
As they continued forward, they soon reached the area where the Biological Template was located. The nutrient solution here had become gel-like, reminiscent of a Zerg creep.
The upper part of the Biological Template was above ground, while the lower part was buried deep in the earth, suggesting it had been struck by a powerful force and landed here.
It had then adapted to its surroundings.
"Is the Biological Template contained within the Dragon Vein?" Qin Muye asked casually.
"No, it's contained within the base. While the danger it poses is significant, proper containment eliminates any risk. It’s also used as a nutrient solution production machine," Sun Zhen explained.
Sun Zhen explained briefly.
"Then that's not right. Your base is intact, right? Judging from the force, it seems it was blown here. What do you think?" Qin Muye asked.
"Something must have happened in between, but now isn't the time to discuss it. Let's get the Biological Template first," Sun Zhen said, knowing there might be some issues.
However, now wasn't the time to investigate. They could look into it later.
Sun Zhen was the one to take action. Was Qin Muye supposed to do it?
He unleashed the full power of the Huangliang Seal, tearing open the gel that encased the Biological Template. The gel was extremely tough, but thanks to his previous experience, he managed to quickly create a tear and then extended it, eventually cutting through the entire gel.
"This layer of gel is a highly concentrated nutrient matrix, and it has been modified. Initially, it helped solve the food problem," Sun Zhen said as he pried open the gel, grabbed the Biological Template, and forcefully pulled it out.
Calling it a template, it more resembled a wooden board, with spots and patterns on it, looking somewhat moldy.
Sun Zhen's confidence wasn't misplaced. The task wasn't too difficult, as the 108 Bronze Warriors and a large number of soldier puppets had already swept through, leaving the synthetic beasts created by the Biological Template with no initial advantage. Therefore, even if the Biological Template's containment failed, it wouldn't develop to the point of threatening the world.
As soon as Sun Zhen touched it, he immediately caused the genetic structure of all synthetic beasts to collapse, even destroying the nutrient liquid beneath their feet.
This time, they didn't need to build a shelter base, so they could just directly eliminate the threat.
As Sun Zhen used the Biological Template, his skin began to writhe, as if it had its own will and wanted to break free from his body. However, he quickly suppressed it with the power of the Cat Star.
Using the Biological Template came with a necessary cost. If used too many times, every part of his body, including his brain, would develop its own consciousness, leading to multiple personalities within one body.
Of course, this wasn't the most terrifying part. The real issue was that these consciousnesses would eventually leave the body, with bones taking one path and organs another, allowing them to continue living separately.
Without the body and the Biological Template's enhancement, the outcome would be death.
He not only eliminated all synthetic beasts but also cleared all genetic data from the Biological Template, preventing it from becoming a resource for future containment failures.
"Such a short time, and the Biological Template already has enough genetic data to build an ecosystem. If it were to complete a full ecosystem, it would be much harder to handle," Sun Zhen estimated. It was just missing human genetic data.
The ecosystem referred to the Biological Template's ecosystem, not the natural one. If the Biological Template's ecosystem continued to expand, it would cause significant damage to the natural environment.
"Let's find a suitable place to rest. The Bronze Warriors should be returning soon," Sun Zhen said, isolating the Biological Template and putting it in his pocket.
This thing absorbed various organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and plants, so isolation measures and regular database cleanups were necessary.
He had no choice; otherwise, a vacuum environment would be the best option.
"Carrying the Biological Template, we might need to cool the pocket watch every time we rewind time by half a month," Qin Muye knew this was unavoidable.
"It's fine. Just treat it as a rest," Sun Zhen said. Without the Biological Template, facing a large number of terrifying synthetic beasts a month from now could be deadly, let alone other issues.
Although it was a bit troublesome, at least they didn't have to worry about accidents. The only real issue was that Qin Muye might lose a thousand or two years of his lifespan, but the other problems weren't too significant.
