“A bio-information collector that can gather information on every living thing within a radius of five hundred meters... What is the working principle behind that?”

After reading the description on the appraisal panel with considerable curiosity, and considering that this item had most likely been made by the second prince, Su Mo nodded slightly as sudden understanding dawned on him. He had been wondering why the murlocs, who had never had any contact with him before, had been acting like madmen and had even sent thousands of people to snatch someone inside the science park. Now he was finally certain of one thing. That mad bunch of murlocs had definitely sensed something, or knew something.

The murloc army sent by the eldest prince had wanted to seize him by force. The second prince, however, had taken a roundabout path and carried out his scheme in secret. The two had the same goal, which was to get the so-called “bio-information” from him. The second prince probably had not expected his move to be so thoroughly amateurish that he would expose his true colors before it even began.

He turned off the panel and slid his stool over to the microscope attached to the miniature development platform next to him. With a spatula, he carefully scraped a little of the chewing-gum-like substance onto a slide and covered it. This time, under the microscope, Su Mo could finally see clearly how the substance behaved at the microscopic level.

“It looks a bit like dodder?”

In nature there are many plants and animals that live mainly as parasites. Some need energy from their hosts to survive, while others acquire the genes they need to complete their survival and evolution. At first glance, the substance in front of him looked lifeless. But on closer inspection, it worked much like the plant on Earth called dodder.

To test it, Su Mo used a scraper to take some flakes off his skin and placed them next to the substance on the slide. As expected, the specks that had been lying dormant began to wriggle wildly the moment they touched the skin flakes, completely unlike their earlier stillness. It took only about ten seconds for the specks to separate from the skin flakes. Looking more closely, Su Mo was greatly alarmed.

“Good heavens, it can actually copy my cells?”

Humans cannot achieve one hundred percent cloning and replication. The hardest part is that during cell replication, it is impossible to express the genes completely and transfer the body’s information in sync. And once that information is lost, even if the cells were reassembled or implanted back into a human body, the immune system would attack them instantly as an external threat. But this was different. This creature could replicate cells perfectly and transfer all their genes into its own body. If Su Mo had not been watching constantly, it would have been absolutely impossible to tell which side held his own cells and which side held the copies.

Furthermore, after the transfer was complete, the thing detached automatically, which made it seem like a sophisticated biological weapon with programmed control.

Shaking his head in disbelief, Su Mo fetched a lighter, intending to burn every fragment on the slide to ashes. But under the scorching outer flame of the lighter, which reached around two hundred degrees, the original skin flakes turned to ashes in an instant, while the replicated cells remained completely unmoved by the flame, like metal.

“Could this technology have been created by the murlocs?”

By replicating human cells, rebuilding the body, and remodeling the inside of cells, various strange properties could be derived. Even the territory’s regenerative medicine probably could not reach so terrifying a level. Seeing it in this biological collector, Su Mo was unsure whether the murlocs truly had that kind of research capability or had found another shortcut. He still had no idea what the murlocs wanted to do with his information. But in principle, as long as the enemy’s plan failed, it was a great victory for his side.

He opened his storage space and threw the bio-information collector inside, cutting it off from any possible contact with the outside world.

“Wait, shouldn’t Sun Quan have one too?”

He stood up, about to go next door and check whether Sun Quan had another bio-information collector. But when his eyes fell on another square device on the table, he sat back down. He picked it up with practiced ease and checked it, then brought up the system panel for appraisal. When the attribute panel popped up this time, Su Mo’s expression finally turned cold.

“A high-concentration vacuum incendiary bomb. Once pressed, it will kill anyone within fifty meters who doesn’t take cover.”

“Afterward, the highly concentrated chemical fuel, which is difficult to extinguish, can also start fires at least three kilometers long, enough to destroy some evidence.”

“Combined with this bio-information replicator that doesn’t fear high temperatures, this second prince’s intentions are even more vicious than the eldest prince’s. He actually wants to collect my information and then kill me to silence me?”

With only the bio-information collector, Su Mo could still have shown some mercy to the Zhang father and daughter. But after getting hold of this incendiary bomb...

“This Zizai Liang Lane, which once held such a great position, has fallen to this state today.”

“These two, father and daughter, are truly exceptionally stupid.”

He cursed inwardly and put the bomb into his storage space as well. As the surveillance footage from the mask kept playing, Su Mo’s expression gradually calmed.

It is impolite not to return a favor. Since the murlocs had tried to kill him again and again, with a variety of tactics, waiting any longer would only embolden the other side.
