NOVPUBChapter 1021: Chapter 1016: Infected 3_1 Chapter 1021 -1016: Infected 3_1 “Body scan complete, after analysis, they’ve been infected with an unknown pathogen.
There are a large number of parasitic bacteria within their brains, causing their brain cells to operate and divide at a rate several times faster than normal before dying.
This has endowed them with mental prowess far beyond that of an ordinary person, as well as a death rate far exceeding that of a normal human,” Finn Lewis suddenly received this information from his secondary brain.
Finn didn’t hesitate to stretch out the sword in his hand; although it was large, he wielded it with ease as if it were light, deftly cracking open a corpse’s skull.
Once opened, he noticed that the brain looked distinctly abnormal, exhibiting a morbid pink hue, with something inside it wriggling continuously.
However, these creatures didn’t seem very active, many of them were already dead.
...
But their low activity didn’t mean they were genuinely inactive; it was because their hosts were dead.
If these people were still alive, no one would know what it really looked like inside.
This proved that the human agents of the darkness weren’t merely controlled directly by consciousness, and it wasn’t a vague and elusive form of control either, but rather required a virus infection like this.
This was at least good news, indicating they were not completely defenseless.
With his conclusion reached, Finn turned to the base’s person in charge and said, “I’m going to blow this place up.
Are you leaving?”
“This…
The underground facilities here are extremely vast; if blown up, the nearby cities will be severely affected,” the person in charge of the base couldn’t help but speak up.
“If we don’t blow it up, and something goes wrong here, do you think you can take responsibility for billions of people?” Finn glanced at him.
“Alright,” the man immediately changed his tone, “I’ll leave now.” As for the others in the base, he couldn’t care for them anymore at this moment; either he would die with them, so he couldn’t save anyone.
Finn ignored him; whether the man could get away was not his concern. 𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘱𝑢𝑏.𝘤𝑜𝘮
After the man had left, Finn continued to ask, “Luna Starfield, is it possible to blow this place up?” Finn had actually just mentioned it casually, because whether it could truly be blown up was an unknown.
Not everything can be blown up; for instance, viruses—explosions might not eradicate all of them.
If these viruses were to leak, it would be no different from the enemy activating the apparatus.
“I’m currently analyzing and hacking into the base’s system.
Although there should be external interference from Luna Starfield, most of the system’s components here originate from the Federation, and I can infiltrate it.
I still need fourteen minutes and twenty-two seconds,” Luna Starfield quickly responded.
As Luna Starfield worked on the hack, Finn began exploring the entire base.
All detectors in his mech suit were fully active.
The size of this underground facility even surpassed that of the above-ground base; plunging almost fifteen hundred meters underground.
The amount of manpower and cost needed to build it here was undoubtedly immense.
The biotic entities cultivated in the incubators still showed signs of life, yet these organisms weren’t complete.
Finn scanned their general structure, but it was unclear exactly what they were; definitely not humans, they seemed to be a hybrid of human and beast.
