Chapter 134 Microscopic War
Black egg-like objects moved in the wormhole.
They seemed not to be affected by anything, passing straight through the valves of the wriggling wormhole creatures, passing through the dazzling biological current, and flying towards the wormhole exit at a fixed speed and angle.
Everything seems to be set up.
These pitch-black eggs are virus reservoirs wrapped in the inner membrane of wormhole organisms. Each one contains a terrifying virus that can easily wipe out a civilization.
Even picking one out of the countless viruses they contain is likely to destroy a civilization.
This is the technological crystallization of hundreds of millions of years of pioneer civilization, and it is also a masterpiece of nature on countless planets.
In the past hundreds of millions of years, these viruses have helped the pioneer civilization eliminate difficult opponents one after another, allowing the pioneer civilization to wander in this galaxy for a long time and prosper.
Crosis believes that these viruses will bring victory to them.
He stared at the bioluminescent film.
"Close the wormhole on our end!"
He gave the order.
The reason why he closed the wormhole was that he found that the membrane tissue of a small part of the virus reservoir had ruptured. The virus reservoir spread inside the wormhole, potentially endangering the homeland of the pioneer civilization.
This is a very normal thing.
Generally speaking, as soon as the virus reservoir enters the wormhole, the fleet commander should immediately order the closure of the wormhole at one end to prevent the membrane tissue outside the virus reservoir from prematurely rupturing, causing the virus to spread in his fleet.
But once the wormhole is closed, there is no way to understand what is happening on the other side of the wormhole.
As soon as the words fell, the biological light film in front of Crosis went out, and they lost contact with the world on the other side of the wormhole.
Although they still have the coordinates of Ocean Star, due to the raging virus, they will never open the wormhole connected to Ocean Star again.
"Senior, the war is over."
Crosis' close confidants said so.
Crosis nodded slightly.
"Yes, it's over."
As long as the virus database is released, their civilization will win, but it will be a pity for a living planet.
The wormhole creature convulsed violently.
Although the virus only spread in its body for more than ten seconds, its function has been affected to a certain extent because the virus reproduces so fast, and some areas even have fibrosis and may rupture at any time.
Boom—stab—
If there is air inside the wormhole creature, then such a sound can be heard.
This is the sound of the organizational structure collapsing, along with the collapse of the corresponding space-time structure of that part of the organization.
But the collapse of the fabric of space-time is silent.
Because when time and space collapse, everything around will be swallowed up, including sound.
The bioelectricity is becoming more and more intensive.
Near the exit of the wormhole, the biological current almost became an airtight blue-white curtain, but this did not hinder the virus reservoir wrapped in membrane tissue at all.
They crossed over easily and entered the icy water.
"Viral weapon found!"
"Hurry up before retreating to a safe distance!"
"The virus weapon may explode at any time!"
Some of the dark eggs sank toward the bottom of the sea. They went straight through the thick soil and submerged into the seabed at an unknown depth. Some of the eggs spread out in all directions, spreading out like a kaleidoscope; and some of the eggs headed toward the sea surface. Flying in the direction, trying to enter the air and spread with the help of the atmosphere.
A dark egg-shaped object sank into the monster's body.
The monster didn't feel strange at all.
Snapped--
The membrane tissue burst silently, and the virus spread throughout the monster's body.
"Ho! Roar!!!"
The monster let out a shrill roar, and the behemoth of more than 3,000 tons fell to the ground. No clues could be seen on the surface, but all the major organs inside the body stopped working, and colorful markings sprouted.
This monster has become a breeding ground for viruses.
But it’s not just a breeding ground for viruses.
Thousands of little cuties with eight spikes also took the opportunity to get into the monster's body.
They pass through the monster's eyeballs and enter the monster's blood vessels.
While absorbing the nutrients in the blood vessels, it splits at high speed, while using the blood to move to various parts of the monster's body, sowing its own seeds everywhere.
Monster blood is extremely high in nutrients.
One spore becomes two, two becomes four, and four becomes eight.
In the blink of an eye, they split into a huge army in the monster's body, crushing the monster's immune cells like a massacre, then smashing the immune cells into nutrients, absorbing them and dividing to form new spores.
It's like a snowball.
The spores move forward, breaking down the monster's cells and growing themselves.
Their attack method is very simple, which is to use the spikes on their bodies to puncture the target's cell membrane, then use the straws in the spikes to suck the nutrients in the cells, inflate themselves like a balloon, and then split.
The spores quickly meet the virus.
At the microscopic level invisible to the naked eye, the two sides are in the same situation.
The virus attempts to use the same methods as cells to deal with the spores, replace the genetic information of the spores, and then turn the spores into their own kind to produce viruses.
But as soon as they got close to the spores, they were pierced by the spikes on the spores. Not only did the genetic information of the spores not change, but their own genetic material was also broken.
The strange-shaped viruses appear weak in front of the thorny spores. As soon as they come into contact, a large number of viruses are crushed by the spore army and become nutrients for the spore army, which in turn increases the number of the spore army.
But these viruses are just stragglers on the fringes.
When the virus army and the spore army collide in various parts of the monster's corpse, the real war begins.
The virus mutates crazily.
They change into various shapes, and some even grow spikes that are one section longer than the spines of the spores, trying to pierce the spores before the spores pierce themselves.
The spores will also adjust themselves according to changes in the virus, such as growing a longer spike.
Not only that, the two sides are also competing crazily on a quantitative level.
Both possess incredibly powerful splitting speeds, and can split once in just a few tenths of a second at the fastest.
In major organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys, due to the late virus step, the spores are firmly suppressed by the huge number of viruses.
But the spores have "intelligence."
On the one hand, the spores fight fiercely with the virus in the main organs; on the other hand, they firmly occupy the blood vessels, which are the main transportation routes. They use the blood vessels extending in all directions to occupy the peripheral areas of the monster corpse, and then increase their troops from the peripheral areas to the main organs.
At the same time, we are constantly trying to change into a form that is more lethal to the virus.
In the war, Spore even used the theories of mobile warfare and "The Art of War".
Although the virus has an overall advantage,
But spores can always attack local areas with more and less, and avoid the counterattack of the virus army.
As time goes by, there are more and more spores, and fewer and fewer viruses, until finally, the monster's corpse is full of spores, and the virus only has countless broken bodies that are being eaten by the spores.
Similar scenarios are repeated over and over in different places.
