When Ivan Vanko saw the unidentified gas illuminated by ultraviolet light, glittering together with enough silver powder to fill the entire room, he immediately realized something was wrong.
He swiftly activated the armor's air filtration system, an indispensable component of any modern combat armor.
On the battlefield, disruptive weapons such as smoke grenades and tear gas were commonly used by enemies. Without an efficient air filtration mechanism, soldiers could easily lose their Battle Power because of these seemingly harmless gases.
Ivan Vanko's armor was equipped with multiple layers of HEPA filters. These filters could not only block tiny particulate matter, but also effectively filter toxic gases, ensuring that he could continue breathing freely even in extreme conditions.
However, this situation had clearly gone beyond the ordinary.
As the air filtration system ran at full power in an attempt to clear the harmful gases, the chemical analyzer built into Ivan Vanko's armor suddenly emitted a piercing alarm. A string of chilling data flashed across the screen—large quantities of VX nerve agent had been detected!
This was the deadliest kind of nerve toxin. VX nerve agent was regarded as one of the most lethal chemical weapons, a neurotoxin that existed as an oily liquid but rapidly turned into gas upon contact with air.
VX nerve agent could spread through the air or water supply and was nearly impossible to detect.
Its toxicity was extreme, with a lethal dose of only ten milligrams. Even tiny droplets on the skin could cause death if they were not disinfected and treated in time.
VX nerve agent could damage the human central nervous system, cause respiratory arrest, and ultimately lead to death. Moreover, its lethal effects lasted for a long time, ranging from several hours to several days.
