1658. The Threat of B.O.W
It’s no wonder that Casio Tagg scorned the T-Virus that once appeared on the battlefield and posed a great threat to the Republic’s army.
Because since the T-virus appeared on the battlefield, the Galactic Republic has attached great importance to this virus. They brought back a large number of samples from the battlefield for study, and also obtained a large amount of data.
It should be pointed out that although the Galactic Republic has obtained T-virus samples, it does not mean that they can in turn produce T-viruses. To fully replicate the T virus, the original T virus must be obtained through a purification and extraction process. Otherwise, the mutated zombies will only contain genetic fragments of the T virus.
However, this does not prevent the Galactic Republic from mastering most of the characteristics of the T virus through extensive experiments. They now know that the T virus can only survive in the air for less than 5 minutes and therefore cannot be transmitted through the air. It is also known that although T virus can survive in water, it is not contagious. Therefore, aquatic animals are rarely infected unless they directly eat food containing T virus.
At the same time, the most violent medium for the T virus to spread is body fluids, such as saliva, blood, and even gastric juice. It only takes a few minutes for objects infected by this medium to mutate.
And based on experiments, Republic biologists also discovered that the zombies produced by the mutation of the T virus are actually just by-products and cannot form any threatening combat effectiveness at all. The T virus mainly produces biological weapons through mutation.
But these scientists also said that the biological weapons mutated by the T virus cannot resist the fire of the DC-15S blaster rifles equipped by active soldiers. And according to their current experiments, even the mutations under extreme conditions cannot pose a threat to tank armor units.
So the scientist’s conclusion is, is the T virus dangerous? Very dangerous! But this mainly targets civilians and cities. If it breaks out in cities and densely populated areas, it will destroy the entire social order in a short time.
But it is also easy to deal with it. You just need to do a good job of input and prevention and control to avoid a sudden large-scale outbreak of the virus. In this regard, the biological scientists of the Republic have also developed several drugs against the T virus. As long as you take the drugs, you can avoid being infected by the virus for a period of time.
However, after the Republic's biologists submitted their conclusions to the Supreme Strategic Command about the threat of the T-virus to the military, the Republic's military scientists generally believed that this thing did not pose a big threat to the military. Even if an entire city is infected by the T-Virus, with the combat capabilities of the TX-130 Saber tanks and AT-TE walkers, only one armored company can clear the entire city, which will take a while at most.
Then they upgraded the full-coverage helmets of the clone soldiers. In the second-generation helmets, the problem of this virus was fully considered and the virus could be easily filtered. At the same time, the simple respirators distributed to ordinary soldiers can also fully filter out the virus.
Of course, departments at all levels of the Galactic Republic have not yet connected the Incholi Avengers with the T-Virus. They are generally artificial. The Incholi Avengers are some transformed and strengthened Incholi people. .
So it’s no wonder that Casio Tagge sneered at the T-Virus. Let’s not talk about how much of a threat those mutated monsters can pose to the army in his hands. You must know that he is on the planet Annaji now! On the Separatists' own planet! Moreover, the planet Annaji is also the capital of the Model Sector and the only Gaia planet!
If this battle takes place on the mainland of the Galactic Republic, then Cassio Tagg will have to be nervous and immediately send troops to clean up the T-virus. But now? Separatism uses T-Virus on its own planet? Then please do it, anyway, it is not the civilians of the Galactic Republic who will die when the virus spreads.
"Let all the landing troops be prepared for biological and chemical warfare! Also, let the clone soldiers not be lenient. Once they find suspicious targets, whether they are civilians or not, they will be shot!" Casio Tagg gave the order.
"Then, how to deal with the direction of the jungle?" Laszlo Dolit asked.
"Mobile some incendiary bombs from other theaters and hand them over to fighter jets in that direction for bombing." Casio Tag waved his hand nonchalantly.
"There are large swamps in the jungle. The incendiary bombs dropped by fighter jets have limited effect and can easily hurt our own troops." Dolit frowned.
"Just inform them of our bombing plan! Tell them that we will use air power to directly help them burn a way out!" Tagg made the final combat decision.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A messenger stumbled over and said loudly: "General! General! Urgent report from Kati City!!"
"What happened?!" Casio Tag immediately Sensing something was wrong. "The 77th Legion in Kati City has completely lost contact! But we have received some sporadic communications...all...all..." The messenger's face was pale and he was a little incoherent.
"What is it all about! Calm down!!" Laszlo Dolit walked over and picked him up.
"It's all...screams, gunshots, and calls for help..." the messenger said, "There are also some sounds...not even human..."
He heard the 77th Legion throughout the whole process. Those sporadic communications and the voices in them really frightened him.
"How is this possible? How can the monsters of the T virus be the opponent of our army?!" Casio Tagg turned pale, "Our weapons can easily destroy any mutant creature of the T virus!"< br>
Yes, all fear stems from insufficient firepower. Since we have weapons here that are enough to destroy any T-virus biological weapon, what else is there to worry about?
“I don’t know…I don’t know…”
"Send out a reconnaissance plane immediately! Send a squadron of the nearest LAAT assault transport boat over and make sure to find out how the battle is going! Where is the nearest Cheer-class assault landing ship? Can it be moved there?" At this time, Casio - Tagg was a little confused, but Laszlo Dorit, a veteran, stayed calm in times of crisis.
"Yes...yes!"
"Also! Continue to contact the armored forces in the southern part of Kati City! Let them go to Kati City immediately for reinforcements no matter what happens!"
......
However, at this moment, the interior of Kati City is still shrouded in darkness.
Boo hoo hoo~~! ! A burst of intensive blaster rifle fire immediately wiped out all the Lickers in front. However, the clone soldiers who fired the shots were not in any happy mood, and they were retreating in panic.
"Quick! Get out of here! Get out of here!!"
"Those monsters are coming again!"
"Grenade! Blow up those corpses for me!! "A soldier quickly threw a grenade towards the Licker's body.
Boom! ! ! The violent explosion immediately blew up the corpse into bloody pieces! The armor previously attached to the Licker was also shattered in the explosion.
However, the group of soldiers had not gone far when suddenly there was a sound of heavy footsteps.
Then in front of them in the darkness 4 or 5 meters above the ground, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up! (End of this chapter)
