Chapter 173 The Energy of the Virus Source

The fourth-order mutant creatures are extremely valuable, and they have to be treated with caution in distribution. Therefore, after killing the mutant giant fish, everyone discussed on the shore.

The two people in the Beijing Safety Zone got the fourth-order gene crystal, but also took out some things to compensate everyone. After all, only the gene crystal is the most precious thing.

The scales, bones and fish bones of the fourth-order mutant carp are all extremely valuable materials. With simple decomposition and extraction, they can be made into armor with outstanding defense and sharp weapons.

Lin Qi chose some fish bones and scales, and Chen Feng chose the mutated parts on the fish head. Although the distribution was a bit unfair, no one said anything.

After all, it was the first cooperation, and it was a very wonderful start to easily get a fourth-order mutant beast.

But after Duan Ruoyun electrocuted the nearby waters, no fish dared to approach, and the nest that Lin Qi had worked hard to make was scrapped.

"Let's stop here today. I'll find a good location tomorrow and we'll continue."

Chu Xin asked the people in the safe zone to take back the remaining materials and fish meat from the mutant fish. If such a large number of dead fish were left here, they would definitely attract a large number of mutant beasts to fight for them in the middle of the night. They must be taken back and dealt with properly.

"Okay, let's come back tomorrow morning. I'll go back and modify the data of the fishing rod and design it more reasonably."

Lin Qi just asked Wei Lan to make a simple fishing rod, and the performance was far from meeting the requirements. If he conducted further research and improved the material performance, perhaps a fourth-level fishing rod could catch a fourth-level fish.

"Then I'll go back and prepare. I remember that there is a factory in our safe zone that produces aircraft carrier arresting cables. I'll find a car to transport some tomorrow to try."

Jiang Tianqi patted his chest and guaranteed that although the crane could catch a fourth-level mutant fish, it would definitely not be able to support it when encountering a fifth-level mutant fish. Not to mention whether the crane arm could hold on, the wire rope alone could not support the power of a fifth-level mutant fish.

Chen Feng was going to take the mutant fish head back to the four major bases for research. After all, the genes of the atavistic species contained the genes of the legendary dragon clan, which had always been the focus of the base's research.

Everyone agreed on a time and said goodbye to each other. However, when they parted, the visors on everyone's armor had not been opened, and no one knew what the other person looked like.

On the way back, Xu Lan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke.

"Lin Qi, I don't need to come tomorrow."

Xu Lan had not been of much help today, but she also got a share of supplies, which was a pleasant surprise.

But she felt a little uncomfortable, after all, among the crowd, her ability was not used at all.

Her awakened ability was related to fire, and it could quickly change the temperature around it. This was also the feeling that the Fire Phoenix Armor would become extremely hot when it was fully erupted.

In addition, the Source Project Center had just prompted that the task was completed, and ten points were obtained in vain.

"What's wrong? I'll get you a fishing rod tomorrow, and you can catch some second-level mutant fish."

Xu Lan's strength is not strong. Even with the blessing of the Active Plan Battle Armor, it is difficult to catch a large fish weighing tens of thousands of pounds, but it is more than enough to deal with small fish weighing thousands of pounds.

"I'm not interested in fishing. We have tried to catch mutant beasts in a reservoir near the New City Safety Zone before, but we rarely see large fish weighing thousands of pounds. Some second-level mutant fish weigh only a few hundred pounds. The fish in Sanshan Reservoir seem to be a little different."

Xu Lan expressed his doubts. There are too many mutant fish in Sanshan Reservoir.

"After all, it is one of the largest reservoirs in the Federation. It flows along the gorge and has never stopped flowing for thousands of years. Who knows how many special fish there are in it? Some big fish are normal."

Lin Qi didn't care. No matter how strong the mutant fish is, it is impossible to leave the water and pose no threat to the creatures on land.

Their existence is just to provide genetic crystals and materials for the awakened.

"There are some things to deal with in the Xincheng Safety Zone tomorrow, so I won't go. You can tell them."

Xu Lan still rejected Lin Qi's kindness. The situation on the first day was unclear, so it was okay to go and do the mission. It would be unreasonable if she couldn't help tomorrow. Even if others didn't say it, she would definitely have some thoughts in her heart.

Her strengths lie in land and air combat. If there is a mission that fits her ability, she will naturally not have such thoughts.

"Okay, don't force it too much."

The two of them finished their communication, and when they were over the Zhongyuan Safety Zone, they said goodbye to each other and flew towards their own safety zones.

After returning to the villa, Lin Qi stored the harvest today in the basement and asked Wei Lan to collect all the information about Sanshan Reservoir.

"The harvest of this mission is not small. There are so many gene crystals?"

Looking at the third-level and more than 20 second-level gene crystals that Lin Qi brought back, Bai Su asked curiously.

"There are a lot of mutant fish in Sanshan Reservoir. It's easy to catch some."

Lin Qi didn't hide it either. He simply told the experience of this mission, then took off his armor and completely relaxed.

Sitting in a chair and browsing the data collected by Wei Lan for a while, I roughly understood some information.

Because of the dam, the fish migration was completely stopped, but at the same time, the creatures in the mountain water flow were blocked, resulting in a large number of large fish appearing upstream of the Sanshan Reservoir.

After the mutation, these large fish grew up with unique advantages, and after constantly devouring other fish, their size increased rapidly.

Bai Su decomposed the gene crystals in batches, but her eyes suddenly became serious during the process.

"No, these gene crystals are a little different!"

She quickly stopped what she was doing and waved to Lin Qi.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Qi looked curiously, and the decomposed gene crystals were still the same as before, and there didn't seem to be much change.

"I'm different from you. I can't take these gene crystals to enhance my strength, but I can clearly sense the energy contained in these gene crystals. These and the ones decomposed before have an extra substance that I can absorb."

Bai Su collected the decomposed gene liquid and slowly put her fingers into it.

The originally white and tender fingers slowly turned red, and the blood vessels were clearly visible, and even the outline of the bones was faintly revealed.

A trace of energy separated from the gene liquid and penetrated into her fingers.

"It's the energy of the virus source. These gene crystals contain a trace of the energy of the gene crystals!"

The Federation has never found the virus source in mutant beasts. Even when they were first infected with the virus, animals rarely had special cases of virus bodies. They either died directly or mutated directly.

This trace of the energy of the virus source body made Bai Su see something wrong.

"You mean, the creatures in the Sanshan Reservoir all contain the power of the virus source body, so can these virus sources be extracted to make the source plan weapons?"

Since Bai Su was able to discover it, there is no reason why others can't discover it. Maybe the four major bases have also noticed the difference at this moment.

"No, this is just the energy of the virus source body, not the virus source body itself, but I can be sure that there must be a special creature in the Sanshan Reservoir."

Bai Su said with certainty. She has made very clear discoveries in her research on the virus source body so far, and has gradually been able to master this power.
