Divine Land's army is already strong, and coupled with the fact that the Eagle Country ' army is currently lacking in logistics and air support, it seems impossible for them to win.

The only option is to first occupy a city as a base, and then consider how to deal with the enemy.

However, such a slinky retreat would clearly not be in line with his usual character. There was no other reason than that this was the military of the Eagle Country, and he hadn't even remembered the last time he had suffered a loss.

This attack clearly yielded no results, and he was naturally somewhat indignant.

Just before retreating, he had an idea.

The Eagle Country has already launched its nuclear missiles, and even the military doesn't have many high-yield nuclear missiles left. Moreover, if they use these to bomb the capital, it will be difficult to find someone to take the blame afterwards. However, besides nuclear missiles, the Eagle Country has other powerful weapons.

As early as when they stole the Gene Dictionary from Divine Land, they had already started research on gene weapons for various races. After so many years of research, although this weapon is still in the experimental stage, its lethality has actually been effectively verified.

As for who was used for verification, that remains unknown.

The reason it hasn't been officially used yet is twofold. Firstly, this weapon is extremely dangerous; it was designed purely for the purpose of annihilating an entire race. Its effects are very pronounced, and a single mishap could easily lead to significant risks.

On the other hand, due to theoretical incompleteness, this thing has a probability of failing to identify people by race. In other words, after releasing this weapon, they do not know whether it will only target specific groups when it causes widespread damage, or whether it will ignore differences and kill indiscriminately.

However, at this point, it's too late to delve into these details. Regardless of who the damage is aimed at, as long as it doesn't kill you, it's considered effective damage.

Moreover, the entire capital is now under the control of Divine Land. Even if this thing kills a large number of civilians, the final responsibility can be shifted to the Divine Land People.

Having made up his mind, he sent people to retrieve this extremely unstable genetic weapon from a secret underground military base.

The weapon looked like a small tube of reagent, about the size of a palm. The transparent glass tube was filled with an unidentified blue liquid that emitted a dangerous glow.

"You, you, just change into ordinary clothes, blend in near the capital, and smash this thing to pieces."

This weapon is rather delicate to use; the things inside these glass tubes are all alive, and since they are lab-made, their lifespan is indeed not that durable.

These things definitely can't be launched by missiles; the high temperature from the explosion would render them all inactive.

The only way is to use this more traditional method of distribution, manually placing it in the upwind area of the city.

While it's called a genetic weapon, it's actually quite similar to a man-made virus. This kind of project isn't new to the Eagle Country; many global RNA virus outbreaks are the work of the Eagle Country. It's just that this virus is much more deadly.

Upon receiving this important task, Lao Hei, who was on guard duty at the wartime command post, was naturally delighted. It was a solo mission, and not the kind of reconnaissance or assassination missions where one could not return. This was a great opportunity to accumulate military merits.

He casually inserted the genetic weapon reagent that his superior officer handed him into a magazine holder and immediately gave a standard salute.

"The military's supplies are currently limited, so we can't offer you much help. However, if you complete this mission, I can personally guarantee that you will be promoted three ranks."

To get people to work, you naturally need to offer some rewards, but in the current situation, it's easier to just offer a glimpse of the future.

Anyway, Lao Hei's intelligence is what it is.

"No problem, sir. I guarantee I'll complete the mission."

He didn't even realize he was being manipulated; all he knew was that as long as he completed the task, he could get promoted and make a fortune.

"By the way, you don't need to come back after this mission is completed. Just stay there and wait for the follow-up plans."

After giving a few instructions, the guy suddenly remembered that if the Lao Hei went to throw away the genetic weapon, he would definitely be the first to be affected. Even if it was identified that he was not among the groups that the weapon was harmful to, it was still not very safe for him to bring the thing back.

Just like with things, you might as well use them up and then throw them away.

I gave him several instructions, but it all boiled down to one thing: once you've lost everything, don't come back.

After Lao Hei left the military camp with the genetic weapon, this guy even gave Lao Hei's photo to all the patrol personnel in the army. As soon as they saw Old Black return, they were to kill him on the spot and cremate him.

After leaving the military camp with the genetic weapon, Lao Hei changed into ordinary civilian equipment, hitched a ride on the street, and drove towards the capital.

Although Divine Land captured the entire capital of the Eagle Country, it did not completely seal off the city. After all, the city has a very large population, and for it to be managed and operate normally, many industries cannot be shut down.

In particular, the supply of goods within the city, as well as related water and electricity industries, all need to be able to operate normally.

Therefore, a considerable number of people can still enter and leave the city normally every day, which is something that cannot be enforced.

Although Lao Hei wasn't very bright, he knew that the capital was now enemy-occupied territory, and it would be quite troublesome for him to sneak in. But what could he do when it was a solo mission?

The officer only said to open it near the capital; he didn't say anything about going inside.

It just goes to show that even the dumbest person has their own ideas. So when they reached a point where they could see the edge of the capital, the Lao Hei man didn't even get out of the car. He just threw the test tube out the window and then drove off and crushed it.

After all, people are just not very bright, not stupid. This thing doesn't look like a good thing; it's probably some kind of weapon made by the military. If he were to break it himself, he might get infected too.

It's still more convenient this way. Just close the car doors and windows, reverse, and crush the thing with the wheels. Lao Hei wouldn't know how to do that either, so he immediately drove off.

The military told him not to go back, and he naturally wouldn't disobey orders. However, he was somewhat reluctant to enter the capital just like that. With his mission completed and until the next mission was assigned, he was completely free. He figured he might as well use that time to visit other cities.

This world is visibly chaotic; we should enjoy each day as it comes.

After the reagent containing the genetic weapon was opened, a large amount of the virus was blown towards the direction of the capital of the Eagle Country by a gentle breeze.

The pathogenesis of this virus is somewhat similar to that of rabies. People infected with it will experience a nervous system disorder in a short period of time, and will bite anyone they see, and will also make a series of howls like a dog barking. However, unlike the rabies virus, this thing does not cause people to be afraid of water.

After all, it's meant to be used as a weapon, and if infected individuals are afraid of water, the rate of transmission will be greatly reduced.
