1658. The threat of B. O. W
It's no wonder that Cassio-Tagge sneered at T-Virus who once appeared on the battlefield and posed a great threat to Republic army.
Because since T-Virus appeared on the battlefield, Galactic Republic has paid great attention 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 Galactic Republic obtained the T-Virus sample, it does not mean that they can in turn manufacture T-Virus. To completely copy T-Virus, the original body of T-Virus must be obtained through the purification and extraction process. Otherwise, the mutated zombies will only contain genetic fragments of T-Virus.
However, this does not prevent Galactic Republic from mastering most of the characteristics of T-Virus through extensive experiments. They now know that T-Virus can only survive in the air for less than 5 minutes, so it 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 T-Virus transmission is body fluids, such as saliva, blood, and even gastric juice. Objects infected by this medium will mutate in just a few minutes.
And according to experiments, Galactic Republic biologists also discovered that the zombies produced by the T-Virus mutation are actually just by-products and cannot form any threatening combat effectiveness at all. T-Virus mainly creates biological weapons through mutation.
But these scientists also said that the biological weapons mutated by T-Virus cannot resist the shooting of DC-15S Blaster rifle 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 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's 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, Galactic Republic biological scientists have also developed several drugs for T-Virus. As long as you take the drugs, you can avoid being infected by the virus for a period of time.
However, T-Virus regards the threat to the army. After Galactic Republic biologists submitted their conclusions to Supreme Strategic Command, Galactic Republic military scientists generally believed that this thing poses little threat to the army. Even if an entire city is infected by T-Virus, with the combat capabilities of TX-130 Saber tanks and AT-TE walkers, it only takes one armored company to clear out the entire city, which will take a while at most.
Then they upgraded the Clone Trooper full-coverage helmet. In the second-generation helmet, the problem of this virus was fully considered and the virus can be easily filtered. At the same time, the simple respirators distributed to ordinary soldiers can also fully filter out the virus.
Of course, Galactic Republic departments at all levels have not yet linked Indjori Vengeance and T-Virus. They are generally artificial Indjori Vengeances that have been transformed and strengthened Indjoris.
So it's no wonder that Cassio-Tagge sneered at T-Virus. Let's not talk about how much threat those mutated monsters can pose to the army in his hands. You must know that he is now in Annaj Planet! It's on Separatists's own planet! Moreover, Annaj Planet is also the capital of Modell Sector, the only Gaia Planet!
If this battle takes place on Galactic Republic's homeland, then Cassio-Tagge must be nervous and immediately send troops to clean up T-Virus. But now? Separatists uses T-Virus on his own planet? Then please do it, anyway, it is not Galactic Republic civilians who will die when the virus spreads.
"Let all the landing troops be prepared for biological and chemical warfare! Also, Clone Trooper, please don't be soft-hearted. Once you find a suspicious target, no matter whether it is a civilian or not, you will shoot it!" Cassio-Tagge issued the order.
"Then, how to deal with the direction of the jungle?" Laslo-Dorit asked.
"Mobile some incendiary bombs from other theaters and hand them over to fighter jets in that direction for bombing." Cassio-Tagge waved his hand nonchalantly.
"There are large swamps in the jungle. The incendiary bombs thrown by fighter jets have limited effect and can easily hurt our own troops." Dorit frowned.
"Just inform them of our bombing plan! Tell them that we will use air power to directly help them burn a way out!" Tagge made the final combat decision.
However, at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
A messenger stumbled over and said loudly, "General! General! Kati City urgent report!!"
"What happened?!" Cassio-Tagge immediately realized that something was wrong.
"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's all this! Just calm down!!" Laslo-Dorit walked over and picked him up.
"It's all... screams, gunshots, and calls for help..." the messenger said, "There are also some voices... not even human..."
He heard the sporadic communications from the 77th Legion throughout the whole process, and the voices inside really frightened him.
"How is this possible? How can T-Virus's monster be the opponent of our army?!" Cassio-Tagge looked pale, "Our weapons can easily destroy any T-Virus mutant creature!"
Yes, all fear stems from lack of firepower. Since we have weapons here that are enough to destroy any T-Virus biological weapons, 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 over, and be sure to find out what the battle situation is! Where is the nearest Acclamator-class assault ship? Can it be moved there?" At this time, Cassio-Tagge was a little confused, but Laslo-Dorit, a veteran, remained calm in the face of danger.
"Yes... yes!"
"Also! Continue to contact the armored forces in the south 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 shooting immediately wiped out all the Lickers in front. But the Clone Trooper 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 at Licker's corpse.
boom!!! The violent explosion immediately blew up the corpse into bloody pieces! The armor previously attached to Licker was also shattered in the explosion.
However, the group of soldiers had not gone far when suddenly there was the sound of heavy footsteps.
Then, in the darkness 4 or 5 meters above the ground in front of them, a pair of scarlet eyes suddenly lit up!
