For the next week, the entire base was completely absorbed in exploring the surrounding environment.
Without damaging the cave structure, the researchers used genetic editing to invent a biochemical weapon targeting the mutant snakes, which took effect quickly; almost no living creatures were seen throughout the cave.
Even if some mutant snakes remained, they were sent to meet their maker with a few bursts of gunfire.
Expanding from the cave as the center, professionals cleared all potential threats within a radius of dozens of miles, after which the scientists excitedly entered the scene.
You could say every three to five minutes, an enthusiastic researcher would carry a different mutated species back to the emergency experimental area for analysis and to record the results.
Though this area wasn't the heart of the mountains, it was not far, boasting over three thousand plant and animal species, not to mention minerals which could mutate.
