Scientist
Lin Cheng and the Jianhai military group embark on expedition to the wilds
of Mount Yalu in search of the elusive Lithospermum Glabra, a plant capable
of repairing damaged DNA cells [essentially a cure for most known human
diseases]. They encounter a girl raised by a giant python. The monster
seems to be protecting its territory, including the Glabra plant. After
both the unit and snake are destroyed in the chaos, Lin Cheng captures
the girl. He takes her back to the city for research. However, destruction
follows when the giant snake - revived by its diet of Lithospermum Glabra
- is on their trail.
