Chapter 405 - 405 405 Burn Kill Pillage Gang

?Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Burn, Kill, Pillage Gang Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Burn, Kill, Pillage Gang A bug, I know it sounds bizarre, but near the Sniper Star Cannon’s energy coil, we really found a bug.

“It’s like a mechanical soldier clad in a carbon-based skin, terrifyingly resilient. The last cell on this thing lasted nearly thirty seconds under lethal ghost energy radiation before it completely lost activity; I’ve never seen carbon-based life naturally possess such physical qualities,” those were Taville’s exact words.

Do you still remember the basic principle of the Sniper Star Cannon?

This absurdly specified weapon’s main energy generator consists of two twin neutron stars approaching a critical point, a pair of good buddies in the universe frenetically releasing gamma-ray bursts. It’s frightening to even imagine the energy they emit in their impassioned dance, and that’s just one of the initial energy sources for the Sniper Star Cannon, not to mention it’s also equipped with a bunch of amplifying devices and a ghost energy well with an output powerful enough to ignite a constant star. With such a terrifying gadget, even with countless sturdy barriers, the slightest amount of energy leaking from its core would be enough to annihilate any carbon-based life, let alone the location of the Sniper Star Cannon’s installation: outer space!

But it was in such an environment that Taville actually found a carbon-based bug outside the energy coil of the Sniper Star Cannon!

When I first heard this news, my initial reaction was that Taville was joking. A bug that could physically roam through outer space and endure half a minute of ghost energy ray bursts, do you think such a bug would be called Long Aotian?

However, I quickly dismissed those doubts in my mind. If anyone is least likely to joke around, it has to be Taville. As the Imperial Chief Researcher, Taville’s rigor is almost headache-inducing, her seriousness in matters involving her own creations even more exaggerated than Scorpion Wei Jia.

Knowing the situation was strange, we had Taville send the bug she found to the research center at Shadow Base using super space-time equipment that very afternoon; even she temporarily set aside her current research to come over and report to us about this creature.

It looked like some bizarre lifeform that seemed to be a combination of a centipede and mantis magnified countless times. Its entire body was flattened, about two meters tall, and almost seven meters long. Its body was a deep purplish-brown covered in sharp barbs, with multiple rows of segmented multi-legged appendages characteristic of arthropods. The joints were also armed with sharp bone blades. What should have been the front half, presumably its head, had no necessary mouthparts but a pair of pincer-like limbs over two meters long, bristling with sharp serrations. Just the thought of the savage shape made me cringe on behalf of those pinched to death by it. Moreover, those weapon-like pincers were proven to contain at least eleven types of highly penetrating toxins capable of dissolving the cell walls of most carbon-based life.

All weaponized, its degree of armament was staggering, not to mention its combat power, just rolling around in a crowd would result in a field of sorrow!

“We found this thing while checking the third decay coil of the Sniper Star Cannon; at that time, it had already died, but the recording equipment near the coil showed the time it persisted there, thirty seconds. Just speaking of resistance to ghost energy, this achievement is almost equivalent to an elite-level Xyrin soldier. For a carbon-based life to withstand that degree of energy radiation for more than three seconds would already be miraculous,” Taville said with the intense desire to research an incomprehensible phenomenon, a hallmark of a scientist. I believe that if it weren’t for the need to let her superiors review it first, this resilient bug would have already become a lab slide sample by now.

“Speaking of resisting ghost energy radiation, I’m fine too, right?”

“Emperor, you have undergone targeted genetic enhancement, and your abilities determine that no harmful energy can cause you harm,” Taville said, pushing up her glasses, “But this creature, it has relied solely on its own physical strength to achieve the miracle of surviving that long outside the energy coil. I’ve never seen anything like it. Although carbon-based life’s DNA is miraculous, it inevitably contains a large number of flaws. Yet, this specimen’s genetic material is quite exceptional. It shows no signs of postnatal correction and virtually lacks any genetic imperfections. This creature… is too perfect…”

Listening to Taville’s admiration, all I could do was roll my eyes: scientists and ordinary people really do have vastly different aesthetic standards.
