Chapter 482 Xiao 5 goes home 33
"What?" His blue pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaned closer to the screen, looking at the final form simulated on it.
It was a creature with a human outline but covered with a pale purple shell. It had bone wings on its back similar to Luya's, and its pupils were filled with the unique glow of the Zerg, completely losing all human characteristics.
Sirong gasped and quickly flipped through Xiao Shitou's medical report: "This... Why did Zhou Mingyuan do this?"
If we just want to create genetic warriors, there is no need to completely transform them into Zerg.
She looked at the photo of Little Stone right after being rescued in the report, the timid child clutching the corner of his clothes, and compared it with the simulated image of the Zerg on the screen. Her heart ached as if it was being squeezed.
Mu Chen pulled up two sets of gene sequence comparison charts, one of which was marked with the Luya royal family's genes. "I guess the Luya Zerg are secretly colluding with Zhou Mingyuan."
"Look here, there is an extremely hidden royal gene marker in Little Stone's body, and it is slowly activating.
This gene has a strong phagocytic nature and can forcibly rewrite the host's genetic sequence, transforming the human body into a vessel suitable for the Zerg's survival."
Admiral Wei Lan looked at the comparison chart, his brows furrowed. "Are the Luya Zerg the Zerg species that have emerged in recent years?"
According to the intelligence briefing of the Operations Department, this Zerg tribe has emerged as a powerful force in the past few years and has swallowed up three small Zerg tribes in the surrounding area at an extremely fast speed.
Leader Luya's whereabouts are mysterious and her methods are ruthless. Her style of doing things is completely different from the traditional Zerg's chaotic and disorderly behavior, and is clearly planned.
At that time, he just thought it was a power change within the Zerg, but now it seems that there is such a conspiracy behind it.
"Yes," Muchen called up the interstellar Zerg distribution map. The territory of the Luya Zerg was marked in eye-catching purple and was slowly expanding along the border line.
"I leave this place to you!" Admiral Wei Lan did not stay for long. What he had to do now was to quickly gather the military power and be prepared to go to war at any time.
No matter what Zhou Mingyuan plans to do, he must not be allowed to threaten human interests.
He walked quickly out of the laboratory, the lights in the corridor casting a long shadow behind him.
As soon as he arrived at the command center door, he saw Lu Chen waiting anxiously. Seeing Wei Lan, he immediately came forward and said, "Admiral, there's urgent news from the border. The Zerg fleet is gathering and it looks like they could cross the border at any time."
Wei Lan nodded and walked straight to the command platform. "Notify all main fleets to immediately enter a level one combat readiness state and assemble at the border defense line. Have the reconnaissance ships closely monitor the Zerg's movements and report any abnormalities immediately."
"Yes!" Lu Chen immediately turned around and conveyed the order. The command center became busy in an instant. The reports from the signalmen and the voices of the instructions came one after another, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Wei Lan pulled up the interstellar map and swiped his finger across it quickly: "Adjust the energy shield of the defensive space station to maximum output power, and put all weapon systems on standby.
Also, contact the Interstellar Senate and request their immediate authorization for us to take defensive measures against the Zerg."
"I'm afraid there will be resistance from the parliament. Some members are still advocating for peaceful negotiations." Lu Chen said worriedly.
Wei Lan's eyes turned cold. "Tell them, now is not the time to negotiate. Zhou Mingyuan has colluded with the Zerg. Their goal is to turn humans into gene receptacles. If you don't agree to the authorization, it will be too late when the Zerg arrive at your doorstep!"
After saying this, he immediately connected to Chen Mo's communication channel, his tone was hurried but clear: "Chen Mo, contact Muchen immediately,
Ask him to send the genetic comparison report of Xiao Shitou to all fleet commanders, core members of the interstellar parliament, and heads of scientific research departments through the intelligent brain.
Remember to include a brief explanation, emphasizing that this report is crucial to the direction of the war and that they must review it first."
Chen Mo quickly responded on the other end of the line: "Yes, General! I'll do it right away."
After the call was disconnected, Chen Mo tapped rapidly on the console to contact Muchen.
After receiving the instruction, Muchen did not dare to delay at all. He encrypted and compressed the gene comparison report and quickly sent it out through the secure transmission channel built by the intelligent brain.
In the command center, the light spots representing the Interstellar Alliance fleet were like arrows shot from a bow, advancing at full speed towards the border line.
Real-time reports from various fleets continued to flow into the communication channel, and the atmosphere became increasingly tense.
At the same time, members of the Interstellar Parliament also received reports one after another.
Some members of parliament looked at the genetic data and analysis conclusions in the report, their expressions became extremely solemn, and the voices that originally advocated peace negotiations began to waver.
A senior council member took off his glasses and rubbed his brow. "I didn't expect Zhou Mingyuan to be so crazy as to collude with the Zerg to conduct such a horrific genetic experiment. This is going to push all of humanity into the abyss!"
After receiving the report, the head of the scientific research department immediately organized a team to conduct in-depth discussions.
They used advanced analytical software to conduct a secondary analysis of Xiao Shitou's genetic sequence, trying to find more countermeasures.
Some scientists have suggested: "Perhaps we can develop a gene inhibitor to block the activation process of the royal gene, thus preventing humans from being completely transformed into Zerg puppets."
But some people are worried: "Time is tight, developing inhibitors is not easy, and it is not certain whether there will be side effects."
Lu Chen, who was at the front line, studied the report carefully after receiving it.
He looked at the complex genetic maps, puzzled. "What on earth is Zhou Mingyuan trying to do? This kind of genetic fusion might be beneficial to humans in the short term."
But in the long run, it will do more harm than good.”
His fingertips slid across the gene chain map, stopping at the nodes marked "Lifespan Decline" and "Gene Collapse".
"These mutants have a lifespan of no more than three years, and they will eventually completely lose their humanity and become Zerg puppets. This isn't about building an army; it's clearly about creating disposable tools of war."
Lu Chen thought about it in his heart and said it out loud.
Wei Lan, who was standing aside, understood his confusion, because he also didn't understand what Zhou Mingyuan was thinking.
"Regardless of what Zhou Mingyuan is planning, we can definitely do the right thing by doing the opposite. We just have to make sure he doesn't succeed."
The Zerg fleet was getting closer and closer to the border, flashing a cold metallic luster in space, like a dark cloud about to approach.
The two fleets were in a state of standoff in the silent space, the distance between them kept shrinking, and the air was filled with a tense atmosphere that was about to break out.
The slightest friction will immediately trigger this war.
At this moment, the Star Network suddenly exploded, and various message pushes came in like a tide.
Originally, all of Zhou Group's StarNet accounts had been officially cancelled, but a strange account with no authentication information suddenly posted a pinned video, and the fugitive Zhou Mingyuan appeared in the video.
He was in a cabin covered with Zerg symbols, with the shadows of translucent bone wings vaguely visible behind him and a fanatical smile on his face.
