"The mutants are battling the monsters from the 'Seed Nest'."
Chen Fei looked down and immediately assessed the situation on the ground.
Having once been at the forefront of clearing out mutants, he could easily distinguish between mutants and monsters.
The biological combat weapons have a more stable and consistent appearance, while the mutants are bizarre and come in all shapes and sizes. The former are purposefully cultivated with stable fighting capability, while the latter evolve through exhaustive means, with the strong being extremely fierce and the weak being vulnerable. However, those who manage to survive are usually quite formidable, and as long as they have decent reproductive ability, the mutants can hold their own against the monsters in a short period.
The previously deployed mutants, as originally planned, began competing for survival space with the biological combat weapons cultivated by the extraterrestrial 'Sagali' civilization, erupting in fierce conflict between the two species.
"The mutants seem to be at a disadvantage. Should we help them?"
S-class psychic Heseman Brown, through the Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," marked on the three-dimensional holographic projection, and with relevant data prompts, showed that the mutants and monsters in battle were fighting to the death, with no intention of fleeing.
Chen Fei looked at him and said, "Will you go and help?"
Mr. Brown was suddenly at a loss for words. If he went down to help, he'd likely be attacked by both sides simultaneously. Realizing this, he quickly shook his head and said, "Forget it, I can't be of any help."
His S-Class psi skill was not combat-oriented; going down would just be a waste of energy, and throwing a bunch of monsters into the sky wouldn't achieve much.
Monsters as biological combat weapons recognize no kin, and neither do the mutants.
On a tactical level, monsters and mutants are the same existence, just that monsters are controllable due to technological maturity, while mutants are not.
Given enough time for the Blue Star Humans' civilization to accumulate, mutants could eventually become true biological combat weapons, just like those monsters.
"Don't worry, the mutants aren't that weak!"
The military contractors fighting on the front line of mutant eradication have the most authority in this regard, all based on Chen Fei's personal experience.
The saying goes, "wildfire can't destroy it completely, and the spring wind continues it to grow again". If mutants were really that easy to annihilate, Blue Star wouldn't need so many Aircrew Bases. Even so, fighting mutants is still extremely dangerous work, and not surprisingly, there have been many tragic instances of an Aircrew Base being overwhelmed by a tide of innumerable mutants, resulting in total annihilation of military contractors.
Not to mention, the headquarters of the Blue Star Global United Defense Committee, located in Hablav City, is rooted in the heartland of the Yangzhou Continent, plagued by rampant mutants, constantly under their harassment, and time and again faces disastrous mutant tides.
"Destination reached, prepare to release the experimental bullet!"
Chen Fei began to formally enter the main topic and extracted the newly completed prototype element annihilation bomb from the "Spatial Branding" developed by the Elemental Annihilation Weapon R&D Team.
Although its detonation mechanism is not as strict as the mass production version, the necessary unlocking steps are still present, though without the backdoor password requiring final confirmation and authorization from the Command Center.
The new element annihilation bomb was pre-installed in the warhead of a missile, commonly called the "Dragon Slayer Missile" post-fusion, effective range 180 kilometers, with sufficient range to avoid the annihilation radius.
The target for evaluating the detonation results is right in front of the small flying ship, 150 kilometers away, an ideal live target, the shallow supermassive "Seed Nest".
The missile's warhead loaded with the new element annihilation bomb, along with the loading box, automatically sank into the inner deck of the airship, successfully completing the unlock, then the body dropped horizontally. After falling over ten meters, the rocket propulsion engine automatically ignited, with the blazing expanding airflow pushing the missile forward with a whoosh, the aerodynamic control surfaces on the missile body constantly adjusting, correcting the flight posture, locking directly on target.
For a missile traveling at several times the speed of sound, the 150-kilometer distance could be crossed in no time.
On the small flying ship, the naked eye first observed a faint flash of blue light on the horizon, followed by a significant part of the clouds almost getting illuminated. The annihilation force, looking like wispy threads, only lasted a few breaths, and then the blue light quickly receded like a tide. The long-obstructed sunlight finally broke through the snow clouds, pouring onto the earth. Gazing ahead, nearly half of the field of vision was illuminated, no longer dim, like a divine miracle descending.
The power of the element annihilation bomb not only covered the surface shallow layers of the "Seed Nest" but also reached the cloud layers above, where numerous snowflakes were drifting down. To fully unleash the power of the new element annihilation bomb, the detonation point was set at an altitude of 500 meters above the ground.
Given the height of the cloud layers, it was already within the annihilation radius of the element annihilation bomb. The sky was directly annihilated into a huge cavity, with the area being in no way inferior to the "Seed Nest" on the ground that was reduced to ashes. Even a nuclear weapon wouldn't have much greater power, and yet the element annihilation bomb was more efficient with no residues, neither releasing an electromagnetic storm nor causing aftereffects such as mutants, resulting in negligible environmental damage.
Of course, if someone were to use an element annihilation bomb to scour the planet's surface, that would be another matter.
More than a dozen reconnaissance drones, with the buzzing of engines, swarmed back toward the post-airburst detonation point.
The originally rippling lake surface was gone, with the ground presenting a massive abyss.
The lake shores expanded by several hundred meters, and element annihilation would also cause localized high temperatures. The thick snow melted into liquid water, and countless streams gathered into waterfalls, falling into the abyss.
The footage captured by the drones flying overhead showed that the liquid nurturing life inside the "Seed Nest" remained only about one or two kilometers at the bottom; the rest had been completely annihilated. Most of the beehive-like incubation chambers on the inner walls of the biological structure experienced intense impacts, left in a shattered state.
Because the core floating island at the top was destroyed first, although a considerable part of the "Seed Nest" still remained, it had completely lost its vitality and could no longer be restored. Over time, due to the action of bacteria and radiation, the remaining biological structure would continuously decay or become food for the mutants.
The tens of thousands of monsters near the "Seed Nest" were also affected, and combined with those individuals still in the internal incubation chamber, the total combat results caused by the element annihilation bomb numbered at least in the tens of thousands, while also taking away a portion of the mutants battling the monsters. This could not be helped.
"The power has increased more than threefold."
According to data feedback from the drones, the Head of the Elemental Annihilation Weapon Development Team, Mino Heaton, excitedly rubbed his hands. The trial explosion results of the new element annihilation bomb exceeded expectations, proving that their hard work did not go in vain.
"We should leave now!"
Anomaly detected outside the atmosphere, and Chen Fei did not focus too much on the experimental results of the new element annihilation bomb.
