The group fell silent for a mont, processing Qiu Yaokang's words.
"I understand now."
Ji Xiaobo suddenly nodded, saying, "So, what you're saying, Genius Qiu, is that the Hila virus and the Disaster virus from the death realm are both branches of the high-tier Ouroboros virus? There's no real distinction between high-tier and low-tier, right?"
"That's mostly correct." Qiu Yaokang nodded. "However, there is still a distinction between high-tier and low-tier. But the virus level in Fang Heng's body is roughly at the sa level as the creatures from the death realm."
Mo Jiawei couldn't help but express so regret as he spoke, "So, what you're saying is that we can't give the zombie clones the corresponding abilities?"
"Mm, it's very difficult, almost impossible, unless we can find the original infecting agent from when the mutation first occurred, like the original devouring body strain we found earlier."
Qiu Yaokang thought for a mont and continued, "Even if we were to obtain it, there could be significant conflicts with the abilities of the zombies. It's sothing to consider, but I wouldn't advise spending too much elite effort on it..."
"Alright, Genius Qiu, is there any way we can deal with the Disaster creatures?"
"Yes, I have two potential solutions at the mont. First, since we have conducted in-depth research on the Hila virus and have ample preliminary data, we judge that the Ouroboros virus in its current form is highly unstable. It's also in a state that's very suitable for evolution."
"In the past, there was a special potion used to deal with zombie creatures. After so improvents, it has beco a special liquid that, once applied to Disaster creatures, can cause them to break down rapidly in a short period."
"So powerful?"
Ji Xiaobo's eyes imdiately lit up with excitent upon hearing this.
"This is the perfect targeted pesticide!"
He had heard about how brilliant Genius Qiu was, but today, he finally saw it for himself.
Ji Xiaobo had personally witnessed the strength of the Disaster creatures.
If there were a specialized weapon to counter them, perhaps even the tide of battle in the death realm could turn!
Fang Heng's eyes also glead with excitent, "How long will it take for this to be officially deployed on the battlefield?"
"You all better not get too excited just yet," Qiu Yaokang warned. "It's only because of our detailed research on the Hila virus that we made this discovery."
"Aside from the research costs, the potion itself is not expensive to make. But there's one problem. Unlike the zombie virus, the Disaster virus in the death realm has a behind-the-scenes controller. Once the controller detects abnormalities within the group, they'll imdiately alter the evolution thod to mutate and repair the genetic defects. The potion's effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
"As long as the group starts actively mutating to fix their genetic defects, the potion will lose its effect in a maximum of 12 hours."
In other words, the potion could only be used once.
Fang Heng silently considered the situation.
[Hint: The player has acquired a special side mission-Developnt of the Disaster Potion.]
Mission na: Developnt of the Disaster Potion.
Mission description: Through analysis of samples from Disaster creatures, Qiu Yaokang can develop a special potion that targets mutated Disaster creatures. This potion can cause devastating damage to mutated creatures, but the duration of its effect is uncertain.
Mission requirents: 3,000,000 King of Gods' points for developnt and subsequent creation costs.
Mission reward: Laboratory level experience points, Disaster potion formula.
Fang Heng glanced at the mission and couldn't help but feel a bit distressed.
The Disaster potion was indeed a powerful tool, but it was so expensive!
He wondered if the ga had been specifically designed this way. He had just earned just under 10 million King of Gods' points from the undead council, and now he had to spend one-third of it.
This was a necessary cost, but it still stung.
"Alright, let's begin developing the potion imdiately, the faster the better."
"No problem. The relevant data is complete, and you'll have good news soon."
Qiu Yaokang nodded to his assistant to begin the potion research, then continued, "As for the second thod, I've analyzed the early battle footage between your team and the Disaster creatures. I believe the Disaster creatures' combat style relies heavily on their group control. Only the high-ranking leaders and elite individuals have advanced ntal capabilities, while the lower-tier creatures mostly act as basic pawns."
Qiu Yaokang glanced at Fang Heng as he spoke, "It's sowhat similar to your zombie clones."
"You can issue large-scale commands to the zombie clones, but if you move too far away, you lose the ability to control them more precisely. They beco sluggish and, in special situations, can't respond effectively."
Fang Heng nodded inwardly at this observation.
No wonder he had felt that the Disaster creatures and his zombie clones were so similar.
"The Disaster creatures, however, have so differences. Based on my observations, the leaders control the entire group and elite individuals, who, in turn, control the lower-tier creatures with more precision."
"This thod of control greatly reduces the consumption of energy, but if the elite mbers of the group are lost, the remaining creatures fall into a state of lost control and continue to act based on the last commands, albeit in a clumsy manner."
"We can take advantage of this."
Qiu Yaokang said, "The Disaster creatures used perception to detect enemies and launched attacks on any living beings. Their attack thod was simply self-detonation, so all we needed to do was confuse their perception, making them misidentify their target."
"If things went smoothly, we could make them lock onto the wrong enemy, causing them to continuously attack the mountains, or even make them believe that other creatures were their enemies, resulting in mutual self-detonations. At the extre, we could simulate the leader's frequency signal to guide the actions of the Disaster creatures."
"Is it really that powerful, Genius Qiu?"
Ji Xiaobo, listening nearby, couldn't help but feel a surge of excitent.
If what Qiu Yaokang had said was true, and they could manipulate the actions of the Disaster creatures, using them to fight the Holy Court, wouldn't that give them a huge advantage?
"Of course, these are just idealized scenarios," Qiu Yaokang gently shook his head and continued, "In practice, it's not that simple. The elite creatures in their team have a certain level of intelligence and can't be easily deceived."
"I understand now. So we have to eliminate the elite creatures in their team first before we can use this thod, right?"
"Yes."
Fang Heng thought to himself that this could be a viable strategy. However, its effectiveness would be limited.
As the number of Disaster creatures rapidly spread, the proportion of elite creatures would decrease, but as long as one elite creature remained, the entire Disaster force would revive.
Qiu Yaokang nodded again, "These are the two main thods. Based on my analysis, the best way to deal with the Disaster creatures from the Death Realm is still to use long-range locking beam weapons. Their defense against light beams should be weak, but considering the practical situation..."
