159: All the top scientists in the United States were taken away by a wave of nanoworms
“Mr. Wu Bo, please come with us.”
At this moment, an Eagle Country Colonel walked over with a group of Eagle Country soldiers, looking at Wu Bo with a smile.
“Mm-hmm!”
Wu Bo nodded and followed these people to an airfield.
A helicopter was steadily parked there.
“Mr. Wu Bo, please!”
The Eagle Country Colonel gestured for Wu Bo to board the helicopter.
Wu Bo said nothing and boarded the helicopter, which then took him to a massive research base.
After the helicopter landed on the helipad, the Eagle Country Colonel led Wu Bo to a conference room.
The conference room was full of people.
They were all top Eagle Country scientists, some even the world's leading scientists.
Seeing Wu Bo arrive, everyone immediately stood up and gathered around him.
“This Huaxia kid, is this Zhang Yuanhang’s new invention?”
“Quick, let us see this thing.”
Everyone stared intently at the Nano-bugs tube in Wu Bo’s arms.
“I can give it to you, but where are the things I want?”
“To bring this thing over, I even abandoned my family and became a traitor!”
Without getting the money, how could Wu Bo hand over the Nano-bugs so easily?
At this moment, a secretary next to Ike walked out.
He held a document bag and handed it to Wu Bo.
“All the money is on the card inside, along with all your documents. You can check it.”
The secretary also took out a tablet, letting Wu Bo check for himself if there was that much money.
Wu Bo took it, excitedly checked, and seeing the string of zeros, he very readily handed over the Nano-bugs to them.
“Is this Zhang Yuanhang’s latest invention?”
“What is its main purpose?”
Everyone questioned Wu Bo.
“Of course, I personally stole this thing.”
“Zhang Yuanhang said these Nano-bugs can produce oxygen. It seems Zhang Yuanhang is using them to terraform the Moon.”
Wu Bo told them everything he knew.
“Hiss!”
All the Eagle Country scientists present gasped.
They never expected Zhang Yuanhang was already planning to terraform the Moon.
Shancheng Military Base.
“The Nano-bugs haven't moved in a long time. Leader, should we activate them now?”
The operator turned to Leader Jia, his hand already on the activation button.
As soon as Leader Jia nodded, he would immediately press the button.
“Activate them!”
Leader Jia nodded.
He began to pray in his heart, hoping that the Eagle Country Leader, Ike, was meeting with Wu Bo.
This way, they could directly eliminate the Eagle Country Leader, and the Eagle Country wouldn't be able to say anything to Huaxia.
After all, they were so busy hiding their shameful deed that they wouldn't dare to expose it themselves.
“Bang!”
The operator immediately pressed it.
The Nano-bugs, far across the ocean, received the signal and immediately activated.
They began to devour everything around them, starting with the storage tube they were in.
“Huh, is this tube broken?”
“Why does it feel like there’s a sound coming from inside?”
The Eagle Country scientist holding the tube looked at it with a puzzled expression. In less than three seconds, a small hole appeared.
For some reason, the Eagle Country scientist holding the tube felt a chill down his spine.
Then, an excruciating pain shot through his hand, as if thousands of ants were gnawing at it.
“Ah!”
“My hand!”
The tube was directly thrown away by the Eagle Country scientist, who himself writhed on the floor in pain.
This sudden scene caught everyone present off guard.
Why was he suddenly rolling on the floor for no reason???
It wasn't until they saw the scientist's hands, revealing white bones, that everyone realized something was wrong.
The Nano-bugs in that tube were problematic!
“Stay away… Ah!!!”
“My foot!”
“What’s going on? My face hurts so much!”
“No, these Nano-bugs aren't for producing oxygen at all; their true purpose is for attack!”
...Although the Eagle Country scientists discovered it, it was a little too late now.
By this time, the Nano-bugs had replicated dozens of times, and they were present on everyone in the room.
“Ah, how is this possible!”
“Zhang Yuanhang clearly said they were for making oxygen.”
“My hand!”
Wu Bo was also infected by the Nano-bugs at this point, rolling on the ground and wailing in pain.
“Quick, let us out!”
Some Eagle Country scientists who hadn't yet been infected by the Nano-bugs immediately rushed to the door, wanting to escape.
Unfortunately, the unusual commotion inside was seen by the base leaders.
They immediately ordered the conference room door to be locked, and soldiers were deployed at the entrance. If anyone rushed out, they were to be shot dead regardless of their identity.
Nothing else, just because the Eagle Country leaders believed this was a virus sent by Huaxia.
They simply didn't dare to let them out.
“Ah!!!”
“Damn Zhang Yuanhang, you tricked us!”
“Just give me a quick death, I can’t take it, I can’t take it.”
...The wails from the conference room sent shivers down the spines of the Eagle Country soldiers outside the door.
They instinctively stepped back, and some Eagle Country soldiers even worried that their gas masks wouldn't block whatever was inside.
Ten minutes passed, and the wails from inside disappeared.
The Nano-bugs had begun to consume the entire conference room.
The Eagle Country leader in the monitoring room felt a strong sense of unease. He had just seen with his own eyes that the item taken from Wu Bo's hand was only a small amount.
But now, its presence was everywhere in the entire conference room.
When the Eagle Country leader saw the Nano-bugs begin to devour the conference room door, he immediately shouted, “Quick, get flamethrowers and burn these things!”
Soon, several Eagle Country soldiers arrived at the conference room door with flamethrowers.
Without a word, they pulled the triggers, spraying flames into the conference room.
The fire instantly engulfed the entire conference room, and the Eagle Country soldiers retreated to a safe position.
The Eagle Country leader also arrived at the scene, “Those things should all be burned, right!”
However, things were completely different from what he imagined. The Nano-bugs ignored the flames and rushed out of the fire.
Any soldier who came into contact with the Nano-bugs fell to the ground, emitting agonizing screams.
“Oh my God, I want to go home to my mom!”
“Go, go, if we don’t leave, we’ll all die.”
“What did they bring into the base, a bunch of idiots.”
...The Eagle Country soldiers ran while cursing.
The Eagle Country leader ran even faster, quickly driving away from the base.
Seeing their superior run, the Eagle Country soldiers didn't care about anything else and simply fled for their lives.
In an instant, this research base, which the Eagle Country had spent 50 billion US dollars to build, became a meal for the Nano-bugs before it had even been used for two or three years.
