Chapter 327: Chapter 246: Biochemical Corps!

He Xingzhou was on high alert, Barry might still have tricks up his sleeve, he asked Xuanwu, "Xuanwu, is there anything unusual?"

"A large swarm of flying insects is approaching Shen Zhou!"

Xuanwu opened the screen, He Xingzhou saw that it was a massive wave of ordinary Zergs, without the Insect King or Planet Giant Beast.

At this time, such Zergs were everywhere, so there were no dedicated military forces to deal with them.

"Intercept immediately!" He Xingzhou felt something was amiss and ordered.

Flying mechas, aerial interception weapons, missile forces, and fighter jets immediately launched attacks on these flying Zergs.

They died in droves, completely powerless to fight back.

"What exactly is Barry planning?" He Xingzhou wondered, as many ordinary Zergs as they send, they can kill just as many!

By the seaside, in a certain city, ordinary residents hid in shelters.

Some patrolling soldiers, logistics workers, and medical staff remained on duty.

Over the city, anti-air defense missile systems bombarded masses of Zergs, their bodies and fragments scattered all over the streets.

Blood splattered onto a logistics worker, who prepared to wash it off, but before he could take two steps, he collapsed, twitching in pain.

"Comrade, what’s wrong with you?" A patrolling soldier noticed him and rushed to ask.

As he approached, the man suddenly flipped over and lunged at him.

By reflex, he used his mecha to punch him away.

"Oh no!" The soldier thought to himself, realizing he might have accidentally committed murder!

The person he had punched was bloody, yet was shakily standing up, with his skin rapidly becoming scaly!

"Insect Man! He’s infected with the Zerg gene virus!" The soldier realized, and shot him dead.

"Massive amounts of gene viruses have appeared in the air!" Reports came from various cities.

"Genetic Bomb!" He Xingzhou finally understood Barry’s plan; these Zergs were all his cultivated biochemical weapons, Genetic Bombs!

They carried Zerg gene viruses, and anyone infected would turn into an Insect Man!

So they all came here to die, letting their blood and corpses contaminate the air, land, and rivers!

Every city was in chaos. This gene virus spreads extremely fast, turning a person into an Insect Man within minutes!

In the streets, buildings, and shopping malls, Insect Men appeared everywhere, attacking whoever they saw. If bitten by them, one would also turn into an Insect Man!

Every place had points of chaos.

"Blue Star Alliance emergency notice, the enemy has used genetic weapons. Please enter shelters immediately and avoid, everyone must undergo inspection, all defense departments must clear viruses and Insect Men immediately!"

In shelters, biochemical protective measures were already in place, starting air isolation and gene virus testing.

The Blue Star Alliance’s emergency response was swift, quickly curbing the spread of the Genetic Bomb.

But the Genetic Bomb Zergs kept approaching, making it difficult for Blue Star Alliance reinforcements to get out, effectively cutting off their backup!

Jiaying Prefecture, underground shelter.

The shelter manager urgently notified, "The Zergs have released Genetic Bombs upon us, our robots need to clear Zergs and Insect Men, urgently needing some people to help with disinfection work."

"If these tasks are not completed, the Zerg gene virus will fully spread, not only affecting the war, but also endangering us! The creatures in the city will also mutate into Zergs!"

Everyone looked at the manager in panic, "The outside is polluted, aren’t we going to become Insect Men if we go out?"

"Can protective suits block the Genetic Bomb?"

"The air is polluted!"

The manager explained, "Everyone going out will have protective suits and cleaning equipment. Additionally, they will be injected with Genetic Lock Reagent!"

"The Zerg gene virus causes human gene mutation, and the Genetic Lock Reagent keeps our genes stable, eliminating mutant genes in time, thus preventing gene virus infection."

Someone asked, "Then why don’t you inject all of us with this Genetic Lock Reagent?"

The manager further explained, "The Genetic Lock Reagent is complex to produce and has limited yield."

"I must honestly tell everyone, after being injected with the Genetic Lock Reagent, you will not be able to undergo gene modification."

"Unable to undergo gene modification?" Naturally, everyone understood what this meant. Now, with rapid development of biotechnology, some people could already undergo gene modification to make their bodies stronger and live longer.

Although this technology was not yet mature, it might become perfected in the future.

Some people began to hesitate.

A few elderly residents stepped forward and said, "We’ll go, at our age we can’t undergo gene modification anyway, living this life well is enough!"

"We’ll go and clean the city!"

"This way please!" the manager quickly said, "Is there anyone else? We need many people!"

In the shelter, He Xingzhou’s parents were also present.

He Qihang was making eye contact with his wife.

His eyes showed hesitance, Jiang Manrong noticed his thoughts, "You want to go?"

"Yes." He Qihang nodded and said, "In the Catastrophe Era, we’ve been luckier than most, it’s time we did something!"

Stepping forward now meant facing not only the threat of Zerg attacks, but also forfeiting future gene modification.

Perhaps in the future, when human genes became stronger, they would age ordinarily.

Jiang Manrong gripped his hand tightly and said, "No matter what you do, I will support you!"
