1660, Another Sherry Birkin
"You mean they eat corpses?" Volgograd-Kanidi asked.
"Corpses are only part of it. Products created by the T-Virus can absorb almost any organic matter, and they can even photosynthesize," Sherry Birkin said. "The Progenitor Virus, the precursor to the T-Virus, was an RNA virus extracted from a flower called the Solar Stairway. That's why the T-Virus displays plant-like traits in certain ways."
"So as long as there are people, animals, or even plants nearby, they can keep surviving. And because they are biological weapons, their destructive power comes entirely from themselves, with no dependence on outside supplies." Kanidi shook his head. "Indeed, that makes B.O.W.s the best choice for deployment behind enemy lines. But biological weapons cannot stand up to tanks and armored vehicles. How do you solve that problem?"
"Mutability. That is the greatest trump card of T-Virus biological weapons," Sherry Birkin said. "T-Virus biological weapons basically act on instinct, and biological instincts are determined by DNA and RNA. Evolution and reproduction are the two highest instincts of living creatures. Therefore, once T-Virus biological weapons suffer a fatal blow, they will instinctively evolve in that direction."
"What does that mean? If they're killed by blaster rifles, they'll evolve blaster rifles?" Kanidi did not quite understand.
"No. It means that if they are killed by blaster rifles, they will absorb the damage properties of that attack and evolve in a direction that counters those properties. So, since blaster rifles primarily inflict high-temperature and explosive damage, they will evolve to resist that kind of damage."
"So even if they are destroyed, they can still come back to life—and not only revive, but become stronger than before?!"
"That's right. As I said, if the DNA structure of T-Virus biological weapons cannot be destroyed, then as long as they
