"Well, also, send two more groups of technicians to the ruins. I want to completely recover the centipede's corpse."
Sui Bian, who learned the approximate arrival time, responded lightly and then issued the above order.
"Yes." The employee promised.
Since the system did not respond to the centipede, Sui Bian determined that the real anomaly might exist in the temple at the top of the pyramid.
And that centipede is very likely a "by-product" of the abnormal phenomenon.
Next.
The tracker, who was in an unbound state, continued to execute the order and explore the ruins of the entire Inca city before the arrival of the two MTF teams.
Soon, many zombie dogs and Hunter A arrived at the ruins one after another to assist in the exploration.
After exploration by the B.O.W.s, the command center initially confirmed that there was nothing noteworthy in the area outside the pyramid and temple, and the possibility of danger nearby was ruled out.
Before the two teams of MTF and two groups of technicians arrived, the trackers rushed to the temple on the top of the pyramid.
Walk in.
Then I saw stone sculptures in the style of the Inca civilization on both sides and at the end of the temple, and there were a large number of murals carved on the walls, which seemed to record the grand occasion at that time.
The most noteworthy thing is that the center of the temple is an open-air structure, and the sparse sunlight can penetrate into the temple.
The center of this temple is not an altar or a majestic statue, but a flower bed full of bright red flowers.
Everyone who saw this scene through the trackers couldn't help but start to think about the magical properties of this flower that allowed the ancient Incas to build such a large pyramid for worship.
‘So that’s it, the abnormal phenomenon mentioned by the system is not the centipede, but these flowers.’
But Sui Bian finally came to his senses when he saw this scene in front of him.
Blood Orchid.
Sui Bian guessed that those flowers were most likely blood orchids from the "Anaconda" series.
He remembered that blood orchid can extend the life of cells and is known as the flower of immortality. The giant pythons in the movie come from blood orchid.
Through this analysis, it is not difficult to guess that the centipede ate the blood orchid by chance and grew into a giant beast nearly twenty meters long.
This centipede also uses the ruins as its nest, preying on any animals that dare to invade its territory to ensure that it is the sole overlord here.
One hour later.
Two helicopter formations arrived over the ruins of the Inca city one after another, and unloaded the two teams of MTF and two teams of technicians in the cabin.
Immediately afterwards, MTF assisted the technicians in gathering the remains of the zombie dog and Hunter A, and cleaning up the chaos caused by the battle between the tracker and the centipede, especially the blood.
While these were being processed, two technicians, escorted by four Charon, climbed to the temple on the top of the pyramid to collect blood orchid samples.
When the technicians finished collecting, the system finally whispered in Sui Bian's ears:
[It was detected that the host was successfully found and the abnormal phenomenon in the Amazon rainforest in Peru was controlled. Therefore, the system judged that the host had completed the task.
The host is rewarded with a lottery opportunity and 200 points. The host’s current points are 1260 points.]
‘It’s really those flowers.’
Hearing the affirmation from the system, Sui Bian was in a good mood, and communicated with Queen Bai through the earphone worn in his left ear:
"Queen Bai, say hello to Argentina's Ministry of Engineering. We are not sure yet about the habits of those flowers, but for the sake of conservatism, let the Ministry of Engineering build a new research center in the ruins of this city."
"Yes." Queen Bai's cold response came from the earphone.
"Tell Director Chambers to leave the work of debugging the living dead to her deputy. I will need her to do analysis later. After all, she is the only senior researcher in this base."
After talking to Empress Bai, Sui Bian said the above sentence to the employee on the left.
"Yes, sir."

…
January 15, 1999, Peru time, 21:17.
Five hours after the tracker's battle with the giant centipede.
Northeast of the temporary base.
In the night sky, four CH-47 Chinooks were returning Umbrella personnel, as well as recovered giant centipede carcasses and flower samples.
Only a few kilometers away from the base, the Chinook formation began to slow down and slowly lower its altitude.
He arrived and hovered over the base, then landed on the apron at the edge of the base.
The tail hatch opens.
Marini, Chris, Jill and other Charons left the cabin and went to the nearest laboratory for disinfection and physical examination.
The twenty living dead walked in a line, heading to their respective laboratories for inspection, debugging, and hibernation.
The tracker, who is also an "employee" of Umbrella, was accompanied by technicians wearing chemical protective suits and received treatment and examination.
The biggest contributors to this military operation are zombie dogs, hunters and trackers.
Although b.o.w.s are villains in the game, in reality, they have become the vanguard of fighting for mankind.
Especially stalkers.
This boss not only destroyed the giant centipede guarding the flowers, but also provided Umbrella with "wonderful" actual combat data.
With data, the Sixth Research Institute can further improve the Nemesis Project.
Fortunately, there is Sui Bian in this world, otherwise the trackers who are fighting for mankind today would have been turned into dregs by Gill.
After the MTF and the trackers left the cabin of the two Chinooks, the two groups of technicians also took the corpses and flower samples and headed straight to an exclusive laboratory.
As soon as they entered the laboratory, the technicians, working with a small number of researchers, began to conduct comprehensive inspections, tests and analysis of the corpses and flowers.
Soon.
The central building of the temporary base.
In an office at the left end of the second floor.
Rebecca, who put on eye protection glasses, sat behind her desk and carefully checked the content displayed on the computer screen.
The Red Queen first uploaded the data obtained in the laboratory to the base's local network for Rebecca to review.
At this time, the more Rebecca looked at the data displayed on the screen, the more she felt shocked.
"Dudu~!" Sui Bian outside the door knocked politely
"Click~." Then he opened the door and walked into the office.
Sui Bian walked towards Rebecca and asked: "How's it going, Chambers?"
"Mr. Sui!" Rebecca hurriedly said with a slightly excited expression: "There seems to be a substance in the centipede that can neutralize the erosion of the T virus, so it did not undergo a second mutation in a short period of time.
And we also found the existence of such substances in the flowers collected from the temple.
In addition, the centipede seems to have lifted some restrictions to make its body so huge, and this may also be related to the flowers in the temple.
Sir, data and intuition tell me that this flower will help us stabilize the g-virus."
