Chapter 2767: Blood Sprout Mother Vine, Clone Soldiers?
Not only was Yakeli going berserk, dismantling the Creation Laboratory, but the Carbon Alliance army was also no pushover!
The Underworld Legion had also come along. After releasing the Stygian Force Field, they attached the Stygian Life Seal to their own legion and fought just the same!
Although they couldn't restrict the Xueji Troops to a great extent, it was still better than letting them go all out without any restraints!
Moreover, the Stygian Force Field could effectively counter the Star Counter and Star Imitation series mechanical forces!
After all, anything driven by energy was useless in the Stygian Force Field!
Combined with Yakeli's super strong destructive power, the Carbon Alliance side actually gained the upper hand for a time!
Tao was full of dismay. Was this Yakeli not concerned about the safety of the hostages at all?
Dismantling things like this, wasn't he afraid of crushing the hostages to death?
At this rate, with all the heavy restrictions, even if they tried to stall, how long could they drag it out?
That thing was still far from being fully developed, and its research was not yet complete!
Once it was released, it would completely get out of control, and there was no guarantee of a hundred percent successful recovery!
If there was even the slightest mistake, it would be an enormous waste of resources!
Better not to play this card unless absolutely necessary!
Seeing this, Tao's expression hardened:
[┐ꐦ°᷄益°᷅┌] "Special enforcement operation, huh? Hah—I don't care what ridiculous reason you use as an excuse!"
"Do you really think my Silicon Creation Laboratory is a place where a rabble like you can come and cause trouble?"
"Do you honestly believe that all these years of research in Silicon bio-technology have only resulted in the Xueji Troops?"
"Activate the Blood Sprout Mother Vine!"
With Tao's command, the nebulae at the deepest part of the Creation Star Domain suddenly churned violently!
Vaguely, a blurry tree shadow could be seen inside the nebula, its size extremely enormous, thrashing wildly!
Yang Jian frowned tightly, immediately activating his Heavenly Eye to look inside, but he shuddered violently, a look of disgust on his face!
Behind the layers of nebula mist, there grew a giant mother vine that was completely different from the Star-Devouring Mother Vine's form—it had already become unrecognizable!
Its main body was composed of wriggling flesh and blood, its vines like tentacles flailing about, covered in dense, protruding sarcomas!
Anyone with trypophobia would drop dead on the spot!
On the trunk, a huge crimson eye opened, looking around wildly!
Its body emitted a red glow and a foul, rancid smell! And those Star-Devouring Mother Vines hidden in the nebula were all its offshoots!
They served to supply it with nutrients!
No one knew that such a thing was being raised in the Creation Star Domain!
The energy of those mother vine forests also began to converge crazily toward the main body of the Blood Sprout Mother Vine, and the giant eye on the trunk grew brighter and brighter!
The next moment, those blood-and-flesh tentacle-like vines lashed out wildly, and countless bloody sprouts detached from the trunk, shooting out!
With each wave, billions of sprouts were launched, covering the sky and falling like rain toward the Carbon Alliance army!
These sprouts were just balls of flesh and blood, each with a blood-colored eye in the middle, squirming disgustingly, their aura extremely chaotic!
Yang Jian frowned. This didn't seem like anything good, did it?
(￢益￢٥) "Careful! Don't let those sprouts rain down on us!"
The Carbon Alliance army began frantically intercepting the falling sprouts. These sprouts seemed to have little combat power—when hit, they just exploded into a pile of blood and flesh!
But after a few rounds of attacks, the number of sprouts increased rather than decreased!
As the sprouts were launched, they began to split wildly: two became four, four became eight!
They were everywhere, covering the sky!
Then a shocking scene occurred!
The eyes of those sprouts locked onto the Carbon Alliance soldiers as targets, pupils contracting as they began scanning!
After a few seconds, the sprouts started to deform and generate: bones, flesh, organs—everything was identical to their scanning targets!
Even their level and innate skills were perfectly cloned!
In an instant, armies of naked clone soldiers were created!
They used the same abilities and skills as the Carbon Alliance army, even able to release domains!
And their strength was even greater than that of the cloned host!
What made Yang Jian's head ache was that these sprouts could even clone the Underworld race, but their energy slot was empty—clearly, they couldn't produce Stygian energy through this method!
However, they could absorb the Stygian energy field released by the Underworld Legion, convert it into their own, and use the stolen energy to activate the Stygian Force Field!
They worked in coordination with the Xueji Troops and mechanical forces!
Even Jiu Lan and Bing Chacha were cloned by the sprouts!
Jiu Lan was furious. Cloning me is bad enough, but they don't even give me any clothes?
Shameless!
The Carbon Alliance's advantage instantly disappeared, and the advantage brought by the Underworld Legion was completely nullified!
Yang Jian was horrified:
(•́益•̀٥) "What the hell is this thing? Clone soldiers? Instant scanning and cloning? Abilities and levels are exactly the same?"
"How did the Silicon achieve this?"
No one expected the Silicon to have such a card up their sleeve!
Moreover, these sprouts could imitate and mimic carbon-based and material-type life forms, except for energy-based life forms!
Tao sneered:
[┐￢↼￢┌] "Just taste the flavor of these clone soldiers. If it weren't for the insurmountable key technical barrier, the Blood Sprout Mother Vine alone would be enough to qualify as a strategic-level weapon!"
The cloning method of the Blood Sprout Mother Vine seemed impressive, but it was still an unfinished product with fatal flaws and major limitations!
After completing cloning, these clone soldiers had a lifespan of only three minutes. Then, they would exhaust their life, their bodies would collapse, and they would dissolve into a pool of blood!
Also, they couldn't clone life forms of a higher level than the Blood Sprout Mother Vine, nor could they clone energy bodies!
As for other races, as long as their genes were recorded in the Blood Vine gene library, they could all be cloned and imitated. It was worth noting that this thing was almost useless against humans—human abilities were diverse, and simply cloning couldn't reproduce so many strange and bizarre abilities!
Only some elemental types could be produced. When trying to clone some powerful, odd, or eccentric abilities, they would often fail and collapse due to the inability to combine and adapt genes. Moreover, the initial energy of these sprouts all came from the Blood Sprout Mother Vine, which was why it needed the vine forests to supply energy!
The lifespan of clone soldiers had always been the biggest problem. Being able to maintain three minutes was already the limit of Silicon bio-technology!
Over the years, they had failed to break through the three-minute barrier!
If they could extend the existence time of clone soldiers to a day, this thing would be terrifying!
But precisely because they only had three minutes of life, they would unleash all their energy and burn everything in those three minutes, making them stronger than their cloned targets!
Even so, the Blood Sprout Mother Vine was still quite difficult to deal with!
Yang Jian gritted his teeth: "Don't charge head-on. Find a way to destroy the main mother vine body. Under the premise of self-preservation, launch a coordinated attack! Cooperate!"
It didn't matter how the fighting went here—this was just meant to draw fire!
What really mattered was Li Si's side. They just needed to grind it out here!
Once the hostages were secured, there would be no more worries!
But this Blood Sprout Mother Vine was still annoying enough. If they kept consuming like this, the Carbon Alliance's casualties would likely be heavy!
Suddenly, Yang Jian's eyes lit up. If it was a mother vine, then Li Bing should have a way, right?
After all, she had already thoroughly studied this thing!
(｡･ˇ_ˇ･) "Ai Jiang, go to Ice God Star and inform Ice God to come here. Let's see what this thing really is and how to deal with it!"
Ai Jiang immediately said: ꒰ঌ❍໒꒱ "Already notified. Sister Li Bing was very excited when she heard and is already on her way here!"
Yang Jian nodded, feeling slightly relieved. For now, he could only hope that the rescue team would have a smooth operation…
Outside the Creation Laboratory, the battle was extremely intense. Inside the core laboratory, Zhang San and Li Si had been wandering around for a while!
Zhang San was still unshaven, with chest hair exposed—clearly, he had taken the Strongman Pill!
Not only had he activated his Selfless Realm domain, but he had also used the highest level of Existence Erasure on Li Si!
The defensive forces in the laboratory were ridiculously tight—the traps they had set were no less than those in a Silicon stronghold!
But energy defense barriers? Alloy walls? Detection devices? All were useless to the two of them!
The brothers walked in a straight line, simply penetrating walls, okay?
Learning from their last experience, to maximize time savings and not wander around aimlessly like headless flies,
Zhang San had taken a Horse Biscuit this time. This biscuit could dramatically enhance the sense of smell!
No matter where they passed, traces would be left behind. Before coming, Zhang San had also sniffed the personal items of Zhiyin, Yue Li, and Ta Luo.
He could sense the detention locations of the hostages!
Just go straight to rescue them!
This was originally not a difficult task—for Zhang San, it was just a walk in the park!
But at this moment, both of their expressions were extremely grim. Zhang San's eyes were full of coldness, his lips tightly pressed together, looking very angry!
As for Li Si, his face was pale!
One hand supporting Li Si's shoulder, the other clutching a burlap sack!
Bag (꒪ཀ꒪|||) "Ugh—ugh, ugh! Ugh—"
He had been vomiting all along the way!
(|||･ˇཀˇ･) "Third Brother! Those Silicon bastards, those damn scumbags! They deserve to die ten thousand times over!"
"They aren't even human! I tried my best to think of them as inhuman, but still… ugh—"
Li Si couldn't hold it in and vomited again!
Both Zhang San and Li Si were army veterans. What bloody scenes hadn't they seen?
Even the most terrifying hell on earth wouldn't make them vomit!
But after entering the Creation Laboratory and seeing the most real experimental processes, they still had their worldview shattered!
Zhang San's face was extremely ugly:
(︶益︶|||) "We didn't wrong them. For the Silicon, in their minds, there are no moral constraints or ethical boundaries!"
"They only care about interests and results. I'm afraid we'll have nightmares for a while after we get back!"
"It's hard to imagine how Brother Yakeli managed to endure in this Creation Laboratory!"
"Hurry up and find the people. Let's hope Ta Luo and the others don't have to suffer this kind of torment too!"
What unfolded before Zhang San's and Li Si's eyes was a true hellish scene!
