Chapter 2093, Question 2.91: Are Alien Dragon Eggs Edible?

"What is this?" Dr. Ellie Seidler asked, full of curiosity about the standard shipping container that the C6-BDW field team had just hoisted over.

"A single-person 'vehicle cabin'." Without further ado, Captain Nine-Tailed opened the box and showed it off.

As the side door of the standard shipping container slowly rose, a high-tech "single-person vehicle cabin" appeared before the female PhD student's eyes: "Single-person flying (armored) backpack: high-energy battery powered, integrated propulsion motor, intelligent driving assistance, individual weapon module, life support system..."

"My God..." Dr. Ellie Seidler's shock was palpable.

“Repairs, charging, and ammunition replenishment can all be done inside the ‘container (vehicle compartment)’.” As he spoke, Captain Nine-Tailed handed an armored arm guard with an integrated portable terminal to the female doctor: “Just wear it on your hand, it’s very easy to use.”

“Okay.” Dr. Ellie Seidler hurriedly took it. This was actually part of a single-person flight armor. The technology also originated from the entry-level 0326 technology line.

"So where is the 'trade item'?" Captain Nine-Tails asked with even greater familiarity.

"Please follow me." Dr. Ellie Seidler, without even having time to fiddle with anything, hurriedly led the Nine-Tailed Captain to pack up the Fire Thief Dragon.

Without exception, they were all adult female dragons capable of laying eggs.

The scan shows that the condition is excellent.

“Okay, Doctor. It’s a pleasure working with you.” Captain Nine-Tails smiled. “If you encounter any problems (during use), please feel free to contact me.”

"It's a pleasure working with you, thank you so much!" Dr. Ellie Seidler couldn't wait to try on this high-tech single-person flight backpack.

With the C6-BDW, fully loaded with Fire Thieves, safely returning to camp, the establishment of the 3-star "Fire Thieves (Local) Cavalry Regiment" has met all the requirements.

Before sunset on the second day, 21 Fire Thief Dragon armored cavalrymen made a public appearance at the survivor camp aboard a large elevator.

"Wow..." The young lady, who was chatting with a potential client, was immediately captivated.

Similarly, the survivors in the camp swarmed around. As survivors of the first level of the same-sex battle royale, each of them possessed strength around 3 stars.

It's worth noting that even the armor on the Fire Raptor is kinetic armor, far surpassing exoskeletons. This significantly enhances all physiological parameters, including strength, speed, explosiveness, endurance, and load-bearing capacity. While its combat power is multiplied, its survivability is also greatly improved.

The Safety Committee's broadcast also came on at the opportune moment: "Gentlemen, although we already have the invincible 'Butcher Suicide Squad' (actually all of them are the Wave 4 squad in disguise), for the upcoming adventure, the Committee has unanimously decided to form a new local cavalry regiment. As you can see, the mutant fire raptor is the best choice at the moment..."

Amidst the female director's warm and inspiring broadcast, the young lady smiled as she watched Captain Nine-Tailed approach step by step.

"You went to Lab 07."

"Yes. We traded for the herbivorous fire raptor kept by Dr. Ellie Seidler." Captain Nine-Tailed nodded and smiled. "How was it?"

"Dragon, it's just so-so," the young lady said honestly. "Compared to my 'little cutie,' it's far inferior."

“That’s right.” Captain Nine-Tailed looked at the 7-meter-long Mad Raptor that was crawling around the young lady: “But we can’t afford to keep these carnivorous dinosaurs of yours.”

"It's nothing." The young lady didn't hide anything about the free information: "I just need to find a 'bad guy' to eat and I'll be full."

"Huh?" Captain Nine-Tailed was taken aback: "Are alien dragon eggs edible?"

“Of course.” The young lady’s expression was even stranger: “Only facehuggers have parasitic abilities. Any ‘parasitic eggs’ that are expelled from the body do not have parasitic abilities.”

That's right. After the facehugger completes its "implantation," the small aliens that burst out of its chest are actually complete forms. And all facehuggers hatch directly from the "facehugger eggs" laid by the Alien Queen. All other aliens are incapable of reproduction.

"Have you ever eaten 'balut'?" the young lady asked, giving an example.

"Hairy eggs," also known as balut or fertilized eggs, are eggs from which the embryo dies during incubation due to various reasons. They are said to be very nutritious. "I've never eaten them, but I've seen them," Captain Nine-Tailed asked. "Aren't (alien dinosaur eggs) poisonous?"

“Of course, ordinary people can’t eat ‘bad guys’ that ooze black liquid,” the young lady laughed. “But (mutant) dinosaurs can.”

"Oh no..." Captain Nine-Tailed recalled the countless Alien Dilophosaurus eggs he had encountered during his first expedition: "They must be very expensive, right?"

"Huh?" The young lady had obviously thought of something: "Well... about 100 bald eggs can be exchanged for one healthy egg. Only eggs of the same type can be traded."

"Phew—" Captain Nine-Tailed breathed a sigh of relief: "Just two days ago, we destroyed a large group of Alien Dilophosaurus eggs."

"No way." The young lady then provided another important piece of information for free: "Alien dragons are not capable of reproduction. Only the Alien Queen can lay 'facehugger eggs'."

"Then what is the Dilophosaurus egg...?" No need to ask anymore, Captain Nine-Tailed had already figured it out: "A parasitic egg that was expelled from the body by the Dilophosaurus mother."

“That’s right.” Seeing the Nine-Tailed Captain’s expression, the young lady, who had already figured it out, immediately widened her eyes: “You didn’t slaughter an entire group of Dilophosaurus, did you?”

"The problem is, we only attacked the parasitic eggs, so why did it cause the dragon pack to go berserk?" Captain Nine-Tailed still had questions.

"You spilled their lunch!" The young lady was speechless! Didn't you notice such an obvious setting? This is clearly a resource point right outside your door!

"So, the newborn alien dragon babies are quite nutritious, huh?" The Nine-Tailed Captain, who always pays close attention to details, still wouldn't give up.

"That's right, this reduces the toxicity of ingesting the 'black water'." The young lady's explanation was completely flawless!

"Moreover, according to my observation, Xenomorph eggs have some kind of inexplicable 'catalytic' effect on the mutant genes in dinosaurs. They can make them smarter, stronger, and even immune to parasites..." The young lady started to add insult to injury again.

In fact, as one of the largest known land carnivorous dinosaurs, female Tyrannosaurus Rex were generally larger than males. This size difference may be related to reproduction, as females needed a larger body to accommodate more eggs. Similarly, Pyromaniac, another once carnivorous dinosaur, also had females that were much stronger, generally exceeding 3 meters in length—almost equivalent to an adult horse. Moreover, their fighting ability far surpassed that of a horse.

Although genetically modified by vegan Dr. Ellie Seidler, the mutant fire raptor, like an omnivorous hen, actually has many food sources, such as various kinds of insects. However, it prefers to eat the seeds of a grass called Jurassic.

This type of grass grows everywhere outside the camp.

The fourth level of the Aztec pyramid houses a cryogenic blood bank.

Serum laboratory.

Dr. Lizard has completed preliminary reproducibility experiments with "Gulongsu," confirming that a variant gene agent with similar effects can be manufactured using human serum. After a few more technological improvements and to stabilize the experimental results, the serum laboratory will be able to mass-produce "Gulongsu."

Of course, this requires a large amount of human serum.

Frozen human blood banks clearly meet all the manufacturing requirements.

"Lady Horned Viper" Chen Jiali couldn't help but ask, "Will I gain 'Dragon Power' after the injection?"

"It will only have limited effect on us." Dr. Lizard poured cold water on our hopes: "It's only effective for ordinary people without mutant genes."

Sophie Fatal, known as "Lady Diamondback Snake," has already figured it out: "We are a genetic variant of snakes."

“That’s right. Mixing different variant genes is not only ineffective, it may even cause genetic conflicts.” As he spoke, Dr. Lizard made an explosion gesture: “Then, with a ‘bang,’ it exploded.”

Genetic conflict generally refers to competition or antagonism between genes of different origins or types within an organism due to conflicting interests. It commonly occurs between parental genomes, between nuclear and mitochondrial genes, and between selfish genetic elements and host genes. Such conflicts can affect individual development, evolutionary direction, and even lead to disease.

The fact that Dr. Lizard used it here clearly refers to a more serious situation caused by the interaction of different variant genes.

In short, the mutant gene agent can only be injected once.
