Chapter 120:I Will Enjoy the Fruits of Victory!
Trantor: As Studios Editor: As Studios
Day 116 of the Apocalypse Calendar, Wednesday.
During lunchtime, Huo Sheng came to visit again.
Lu Ming only took a nce and could tell that Huo Sheng’s state was ridiculously bad.
Dark circles under his eyes, coupled with a haggard look…
That miserable expression and mental state even made Lu Ming ask with concern, “What happened to you?”
The sorrow on Huo Sheng’s face deepened, “Something big has happened.”
“The military’s missiles were destroyed… almost all the heavy weapons were destroyed.”
Lu Ming thought for a moment and replied nonchntly, “Oh.”
And that was it….
Clearly, Lu Ming did not care much about missiles, heavy weapons, and the like.
While he knew that these things were very powerful, Lu Ming simply was not interested in them.
As a result, he was unaware of the significance of these things for humanity.
That was until Huo Sheng spoke again.
“Missiles and heavy weapons are our trump card, not only for the military but also for all the survivors in Nanxiang City.”
“It’s a trump card that’s no less powerful than you.”
Lu Ming nodded, his expression still the same, “Oh.”
Seeing this, Huo Sheng could not help but sigh deeply…
It seemed that Lu Ming still did not understand the importance of these things.
But to highlight the importance of missiles and heavy weapons, a simple example would suffice.
“The Flesh Mountain.”
The Tier 5 Flesh Mountain was quite terrifying, but the military still had the ability to destroy it, relying on nothing other than the crystallization of human technology—thermal weapons.
Another example was the zombie wave.
Thergest -scale zombie wave that Nanxiang had encountered was the zombie wave led by Sima Xiao.
A zombie wave of hundreds of thousands of zombies was really terrifying, but even without Lu Ming, the officials could still deal with that zombie wave.
All they needed was to wash the area with missiles.
In other words, ignoring coteral damage, human technology’s destructive power far exceeded that of the Tier 4 or Tier 5 and had even more pronounced lethality against group targets!
This was also why many people felt that the zombie cmity would not shake humanity’s dominance over Blue.
This was because humans might not have the perfect ability to deal with their opponents without any injuries, but they would always retain the ability to perish together with their opponents!
Under the premise that they did not care about coteral damage, it was difficult to imagine what kind of enemy could shake the dominance of humans. And now, this card was gone…
“I’m not sure what’s targeting us. What happenedst night was too sudden. When the explosion sounded, I organized people to go to the scene, but I only found some strange biological samples at the scene…”
Huo Sheng brought the biological samples over and handed them to Meng Jie for research and analysis. Then he sought out Lu Ming at the first opportunity.
In essence, Huo Sheng was uncertain and wanted to see Lu Ming – he didn’t need any promises from Lu Ming, just seeing him would give Huo Sheng a great sense of security.
As soon as he finished speaking, Meng Jie had already pushed open the dining room door and walked in.
She sat beside Huo Sheng and quickly said, “I analyzed the biological samples you brought and found something interesting.”
“Some of the biological samples belong to the ck Bird.”
Among the biological samples Huo Sheng brought was the w of a charred ck Bird.
“And the day before yesterday, Mr. Lu hunted a monster that looked like the ck bird but with a human head.”
“Ipared the two samples and found out that their genes were identical!”
Huo Sheng immediately furrowed his brow.
On the other hand, Lu Ming, while eating and drinking, looked at Meng Jie and asked, “So you mean that the culprit who destroyed the missile is the ck Bird with a human head?”
Meng Jie first nodded, then shook her head.
“The ck Bird w brought by Huo Sheng indeed belongs to a ck Bird with a human head, not a normal ck Bird.”
“The most important point is not here, but that the genes of the two human-head ck birds are the same… There’s no difference!”
Lu Ming did not understand.
However, Huo Sheng knew the significance of this matter very well!
“Gically speaking, there are no two identical creatures in the world.”
“Even identical twins might be abnormally simr at the gic level, but the expression of somatic cells, or genes, has a certain difference.”
The knowledge involved was a littleplicated, and seeing that Lu Ming did not seem interested in this area, Huo Sheng briefly summarized.
“Even with cloning technology, which can clone apletely identical creature to the subject, differences can still be found at the gic and cellr levels due to different postnatal environments.”
“This is also why I said that there are no two identical creatures in the world at the gic level.”
Before Lu Ming could digest this information, Meng Jie continued, “And based on myparison of the two human-faced ck Birds, they arepletely identical even at the cellr level.”
“It’s not a matter of identical twins, but…pletely identical, just like two identical industrial productsing off the same assembly line.”
Lu Ming was at a loss.
Huo Sheng, however, could not sit still.
After pondering for a long time, Huo Sheng and Meng Jie looked at each other and could not help but say, “This might mean that a super monster capable of mass-producing Level 4 monsters has appeared in Nanxiang…”
A Level 4 production line!?
Thinking of this, Huo Sheng could not help but shiver.
Just as Huo Sheng and Lu Ming were chatting…
Three Tier 5 human-headed monsters had already appeared outside Good Hope Vige.
Staring at the peaceful Good Hope Vige in the distance, the three human-headed monsters were expressionless.
Themand from the Mother Tree had long appeared in their minds capture Lu Ming!
At the very least, they had to get Lu Ming’s gic sample!
The blood Flesh Mother Tree never procrastinated in its actions.
As the ck fog was rapidly shrinking, and Linhai County was not at the center of Nanxiang City, it had little time left.
After first dealing with the most threatening firearms, by noon the next day, the Mother Tree had already sent its subordinates to capture Lu Ming.
As long as they captured Lu Ming and harvested his gic samples, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree would be able to produce more “Lu Mings”, and significantly increase thebat power of its subsidiary bodies. This would greatly speed up the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s n.
Everything was developing well.
In fact, at this point, the Blood Flesh Mother Tree could not think of any obstacles to its n.
In his excitement, a human-headed monster could not help but mutter softly, revealing the Blood Flesh Mother Tree’s inner voice, “I will enjoy the fruits of victory!”
As soon as the voice fell, wings grew out of the backs of the three human-headed monsters and they flew straight towards the gathering ce on Guangping Street!
In the dining room, Lu Ming and the others who were chatting suddenly heard a bell ringing from outside!
Three rings.
Enemy attack!
After casually wiping his mouth, Lu Ming stood up and left the kitchen, with Huo Sheng and Meng Jie following closely behind him.
Just as he left the kitchen, Lu Ming saw three human-headed creatures with bat wings descending from the sky above and slowlynding on a street in the gathering ce on Guangping Street.
The Awakened in the gathering ce on Guangping Street instantly took their positions and surrounded the three neers in the center.
However, the three of them were expressionless.
Their gazes drifted and quickly locked onto their target, settling on Lu Ming.
One of them said expressionlessly, “You must be Lu Ming, right?”
“Come with us. The Mother Tree wants to see you..”
