#891 - Chapter 891 The Necessary Existence of the Emergency Department
“Wuwuwu——”
A strange, eerie cry emanated from the head of the giant insect!
No one present had ever imagined that an insect could make a sound!?
Shouldn't insects lack vocal organs!?
Of course, no one was dwelling on this issue at the moment, because the mutation that followed the giant insect's cry filled everyone with dread!
“Wuwuwu————”
A cloud of white mist spewed out from the crystal-like head of the giant insect, spreading in all directions!
Two drones that were about to approach were the first to be engulfed by the white mist!
“Quick, maneuver the drones away!”
Qin Jin shouted, jolting the operators out of their shock.
But it was too late!
Two operators controlling the drones enveloped in the white mist saw static on their screens, but stubbornly continued to try and fly the drones out of the mist.
Qin Jin and the others soon saw the two drones wobble for a short distance before plummeting to the ground!
The bodies and propellers of the two drones were visibly corroded, with wisps of green smoke rising from them!
The white mist spewed by the giant insect was highly corrosive!
No one knew what material its skin was made of, but after spewing the mist, it remained immersed in it without showing any signs of corrosion!
It crawled towards the Green Source personnel while spraying the mist!
And it was quite fast, moving at the speed of an ordinary snake!
Even more terrifying, the poisonous moths in the sky seemed to have heard its call and were also flying towards Qin Jin and the others!
“Use the flamethrowers! Retreat immediately if things go wrong!”
Qin Jin shouted again, raising his sniper rifle once more. If the flamethrowers couldn't handle the situation, he would have to shoot and kill this bizarre giant insect.
Losing a research target was better than endangering themselves.
“Whosh whosh whosh————”
Four or five flamethrowers brought by the team members spewed out thick, scorching flames, directly attacking the approaching poisonous moths and white mist. These things, which could easily harm ordinary people, were immediately suppressed!
It was effective!
Even the giant insect seemed to sense the heat of the flames and stopped moving closer!
“Keep going!”
Without Captain Liu needing to shout, the team members, seeing the effect, held their flamethrowers and began to suppress the approaching creatures. The poisonous moths in the sky were burned into ashes and fell like rain, and the white mist spewed by the giant insect was also scorched and thinned.
Seeing the effect, the team members continued their pursuit, and no matter how hard the giant insect tried to spew out white mist, it couldn't get close to the enemy again.
“Use the capture net!”
Seeing that the white mist was completely suppressed around the giant insect, Qin Jin ordered the last drone to drop the Master Ball.
“Bang—”
A specially made large net lunged towards the giant insect. The monster, seemingly lacking intelligence, was simply covered and knocked to the ground!
Success!
Qin Jin breathed a sigh of relief, but the situation was not completely over, and he continued to issue instructions:
“Dispatch more team members! Bring capture nets and containment vessels! We need to bring this monster back to base!”
“Have the laboratory prepare! Immediately designate a top-level biological containment room!”
He opened the base's main channel and began to directly remotely control the headquarters further away to send people over.
The giant insect was temporarily stabilized, but more people were needed to help completely capture it.
And the base needed to immediately start preparing a place to analyze this monster.
Although this thing was disgusting, it might hold the key to saving the infected, and even further, such a strange life possessed important research value.
In short.
This white giant insect had caught the attention of the Green Source leader.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have survived until now, and would have been wiped off the face of the Blue Star by heavier firepower the moment it appeared.
Don't doubt the ability of the Green Source base, which possessed countless explosives.
The subsequent actions were much simpler. The giant insect, with its movements restricted, couldn't break free from the capture net made of special materials no matter how hard it struggled, and there was also a group of watchful humans beside it.
From the moment it released its offspring to forage, its fate in this place was largely sealed.
The man who built the doomsday base would not allow it to survive safely around its lair.
The capture lasted for almost half an afternoon!
Around five o'clock in the evening, the giant insect was completely controlled, packed up, and dragged back to headquarters by Green Source personnel using a large iron box.
Even the area around the big tree where the giant insect had been staying was carefully surveyed to confirm that nothing was missed.
Qin Jin, who had been busy all day, finally returned to his office to take a break.
The remaining research work would be presided over by Lao Zhou and Sun Lao, and he, as the leader, only needed to wait for news.
After the giant insect was captured, team members responsible for monitoring outside mentioned that the number of poisonous moths had decreased significantly.
It seemed that they had really found the culprit.
And it was likely that there was only this one giant insect, and there were no other similar species.
And so.
This disaster, which caused a violent upheaval in Green Source during the cold winter, was temporarily suppressed.
Without more poisonous moths harassing them, the base should be able to gradually restore safety.
The laboratory analyzed that the individual poisonous moths did not have a long lifespan. After installing some insect repellent devices and trapping devices in the base, it was believed that all the poisonous moths would be wiped out soon.
“This world is really becoming dangerous! Even such mutated creatures are emerging!”
Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh as he sat in his boss's chair.
“Who's to say it isn't? People in the past probably never imagined that the body of a moth could grow so big, and also be able to survive in such low temperatures,”
Zhao Ling echoed in agreement.
She had just come over to report to Qin Jin on the base's response work today.
Due to the harassment of the poisonous moths, Green Source had been at a standstill all day. All personnel, except for essential posts, stayed in their residences waiting for notification.
The most troublesome were the infected personnel.
Without finding a treatment method, they were constantly dying!
In the afternoon, more infected people entered the acute outbreak period and died!
“So far, a total of 414 people in our base have been infected! 175 have already died! Among the remaining infected, 35 have entered the acute outbreak period and are expected to die within two hours!”
Zhao Ling said to her lover with a heavy heart, mentioning this shocking number.
There was no way around it.
The poisonous moths appeared too suddenly. People who did not realize the lethality of these small things at first did not even know how they were infected. It was too late when they felt uncomfortable and realized it.
At this time, it depended on whether the laboratory could find a cure as soon as possible after capturing the poisonous moth's mother.
“Do your best! No one wants to see this happen!”
“In the future, the base must establish a special department to deal with special situations! It will be called the Emergency Department! Even if nothing happens, it must pay attention to the environmental conditions of the base and its surroundings! Any unreasonable anomalies must be reported and analyzed in a timely manner! We can't let a disaster like this, which could have been warned in advance, be taken seriously only after a large-scale outbreak!”
Qin Jin tapped the table and decided.
Even though he had memories of his previous life, he was not invincible.
He had not foreseen this locally erupted disaster in advance.
Zhao Ling nodded knowingly.
This was indeed very necessary.
Establishing such a department in the future could provide an opportunity to deal with unknown dangers and disasters in advance.
“By the way, each residential area has worked very hard to take care of the infected. Some residential areas have a large number of infected people, and some people have volunteered to help and have done a good job. These people may need to be rewarded later.”
During their chat, Zhao Ling suddenly mentioned this.
