Chapter 246: Strange Earth Beast

What I saw in the military tent was another acquaintance, Colonel Zhang Hao, the commander-in-chief here.

"Welcome to Yongliang, let's talk as we go. Zhang Hao led the way in front, Gao Shan and Luo Hao, and Shangguan Ergou followed behind.

"I believe that Captain Shangguan has already told you about the Earth Beast, and I invited you two here this time to see if I can find out the identity of the Earth Beast and its weaknesses. ”

As he spoke, everyone walked to the largest townhouse tent in the center of the barracks, and lifted the curtain to reveal a standard isolation laboratory.

After changing clothes and disinfecting, Takayama finally saw the corpse of the so-called earth beast.

"God, it's a miracle that the horned crocodile, no, no, the horned crocodile should be bigger, with scale armor, here it's soft, a bit like a lizard......"

As soon as he saw the 'Earth Beast,' Luo Hao rushed forward with an obsessive face, stretched out his hand and kept looking at the corpse of the 'Earth Beast', checking.

"Professor Luo, we analyzed its genes and found that it is not any of the existing ones, and its appearance is similar to that of the horned crocodile, especially the horns that protrude from the sides of the head, but the physical signs are different. ”

The staff who were originally testing around the 'Earth Beast' seemed to know Luo Hao, so they took a stack of test reports from the side and handed them to him.

"Professor?" Takayama was a little surprised.

"Well, Professor Luo is the director of the National Paleontology Research Laboratory and enjoys the treatment of a full professor. Shangguan Ergou explained to him.

National Paleontological Research Office, what department is this?

"Why isn't there anything here?" Luo Hao said as if he hadn't heard the conversation in the communication, holding the report in one hand and pointing to the right side of the corpse's jaw with the other.

"We don't know, according to common sense, that this should be some kind of organ of it, most likely hearing or reconnaissance or something.

But we found it empty, but it had a strange shape, like a spiral that was expanding outward, which we guessed was some kind of signal amplifier. ”

"Ultrasound?" Luo Hao's voice was a little fanatical.

Looking at him completely immersed in a state of work, Takayama has a sense of seeing a mad scientist.

"Professor Gao, if you see what you need, I will immediately ask people to prepare. Finding that Gao Shan hadn't moved for a long time, Zhang Hao reminded him euphemistically.

"Nothing, I'll start now. Takayama reached the left side of the corpse and began to examine the creature in front of him.

When I really stood in front of me, I realized what kind of behemoth it was.

The body is about five or six meters long and about two meters high, with two claws on the front and back, and a pointed beak on top, a bit like an eagle's beak.

There was a thick pad of flesh under the soles of his feet, and Takayama tried to cut it with a scalpel, leaving only a faint white mark.

You must know that this is in a state of death, the body's functions have faded, there is no energy supply, and any manifestation of the body should be twenty or thirty percent of what it was when it was alive.

In this case, it can't be cut with a scalpel, so how hard it must be when you are alive. Looking at the back of its head, under the slightly slender neck, there are four sharp horns growing on the sides of the body. The sharp corners in the front are slightly shorter, and the back ones are twice as long, and I tried to break them with my hands, and they were very strong.

Takayama tried to exert force, but about 80% of his strength still did not move.

Looking at its dissected abdomen again, it was empty, but the flesh walls were thick to the touch, with the feeling of solidification in a kind of gelatin.

"Can I see its entrails?" Takayama asked the man beside him.

"This way. The other party led Takayama to the side, and the internal organs were soaked in several glass bottles, marked with 'heart' and 'intestines' and the like.

If you look closely, they even peel off the trachea, and they really don't miss a single detail.

"Its heart is the same as that of higher vertebrates, it has a four-chambered heart, and its lungs are ring-shaped, which are very similar to crocodiles, but its respiratory function has a filter-like membrane, which crocodiles do not have.

The limbs are very flexible, long and powerful, from the point of view of muscle density, it has a strong bouncing force, the mouth is flat, and there are mucous membranes on both sides, which can open and close to the maximum,

The teeth are flattened and retracted inward, which can better control the prey, as long as it bites, it can make it impossible to escape, and it is a natural killer in nature. ”

Luo Hao suddenly walked over from the corpse and stood side by side with Gao Shan talking about the conclusions he had reached.

"Professor Luo, is that sure what it is?" Zhang Hao's tone was a little hurried.

"No, I can't. Luo Hao straightened up and said briefly, "Or rather, it is different from any of the creatures found now, more like a new life form. ”

"Judging from the current conclusions, it can only be classified as a reptile, and there is nothing else to refer to. After Luo Hao finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shan and said, "Professor Gao, have you found anything?"

It seems that he still heard the previous words, will this be a problem or a consultation?

"What is this?" Takayama gestured to the fourth bottle, which contained a film-like object that looked like a neural network.

"Our people tentatively call it a neural network, but we can't be sure, it's taken from the brain. Zhang Hao said.

"It's impossible that you're saying they already have intelligence?" That's a bit of, he doesn't know much about animal mountains, but he is good at medicine.

With such a complex neural network visible to the naked eye, Gao Shan felt that he was not looking at a beast, but at a higher civilization.

"But it's really stripped out of the brain. Zhang Hao said affirmatively.

"Where is its brain?" asked Takayama immediately.

"Colonel, we have made new discoveries. There was a shout from the testing area outside, and a group of people immediately followed.

"This is an analysis of their brains, and we found that their brain structure is as similar as 99.9% to the human body, and the brain is more developed, but the brain lotus leaves have shrunk, so that they cannot give birth to wisdom. ”

Everyone gathered face to face, a monster of unknown origin, with a 99.9% resemblance to a human brain, but the front lotus leaf shrank.

And what I saw earlier, that film that looks like a network, although Takayama can't be sure what it is, but it's definitely not a 'neural network.' ’

"Is there a video of its attack?" asked Takayama as if he had thought of something.

"Nope. Zhang Hao groaned and denied, Gao Shan felt that the other party must have something to hide, but he couldn't refute it.

"Did you two find anything else?" Shangguan Ergou diverted from the topic.

"I found that I had a different view. Takayama turned and walked over to the corpse of the Earth Beast.

During the inspection just now, although I couldn't help what it was, I didn't know what animal classification was.

However, Takayama found that its flesh had a strong active substance, and after trying it with True Qi, he knew that his guess was not wrong.
