Chapter 130: Farewell
Gene? Mankind??
This thing, it still has some human genes?!
Chen Xiao only felt that the person who created this kind of monster must be crazy!!
The white glove's tone was a little excited: "Do you see its body?" Pretty much a patchwork, right? That's right! That's really a patchwork! And it's put together on its own! This biochemical beast has a very special ability, which is caused by the mutation produced after combining the genes of various organisms! Its ability is to fuse cells! Cells of any different species can be fused! As you can see, many parts of its body are pieced together. Well...... It did it all on its own! Looks like it's having a lot of fun at this zoo...... See, he has chosen the hind limbs of a wolf and a deer as his legs, because the hind limbs of these two animals are strong and powerful, and the shape and proportions are the best! It chose crocodile skin as its skin, as it is hard enough and at the same time has the agility of the elastic xìng that does not block the action. Oh, my God!! ”
White Glove suddenly laughed in surprise: "Have you noticed its head?" Ha ha! What a clever guy, he got a pair of gills for himself! Haha, it must have hunted some large underwater animal and transplanted it to its own! Turned yourself into an amphibious! ”
White Gloves laughed excitedly, Chen Xiao looked at the mantis-like monster in the distance, and he didn't know what it was like.
He felt as if he had entered some kind of science fiction movie world......
Although it is also a biochemical beast, the owl bear last time is more like an animal after all...... And the giant praying mantis in front of me, which walked like a human...... But it's really scary!
Well...... Can you reassemble your body? Have the ability to fuse the cells of other species?
Chen Xiao immediately remembered that day, Xu Jǐng took him to the autopsy room, and saw the dead animal corpses. Ground is true. It is said that many dead animals are dead. Some of them are gone...... Come on now. Probably it was "assembled" by this monster......
The giant praying mantis didn't seem to care about the car in front of it. Instead, they searched for the smell of urine from afar. Seems a little restless. Slowly approaching the lion in the distance.
It walks slightly awkwardly. But after all, he walked upright! Under the moonlit night. It's like a butcher with a butcher's knife. Slowly approaching.
When it came to the ground less than ten meters away from the lion. The lion was visibly overwhelmed. Although the driver, the druid, kept chanting some kind of incantation. As if trying to soothe the lion's restless emotions. But the lion had already bowed up. He kept roaring at the giant praying mantis in the distance. The claws dig deep into the ground.
And what made Chen Xiao's heart suddenly move was ...... From the low roar of the lion. Seems. In addition to jǐngti and anger...... But it's even more ...... Fear?
Yes! That's right! Chen Xiao listened confidently. It was a strange feeling, but he was sure that he could hear some kind of fear in the roar of the lion.
Hell yes! The lion of the king of beasts is actually afraid of a praying mantis?!
The lion had already stood up, opened its jaw, and bared its fangs, but he never dared to pounce on it directly, and even retreated point by point.
The mantra in the driver's druid's mouth moved faster and faster, and a string of strange notes burst out of his mouth.
Finally, he suddenly pulled out a strange handful of black sè powder from his bosom. Then it quickly sprinkled on the lion's body......
Rumble!
A green flame suddenly burst out of the lion's body! The flame-like thing of the green sè didn't seem to be burning. It's some kind of light powder or something. But in the middle of the night, I suddenly saw a lion with a green light all over his body, which was quite scary.
The lion seemed to be stirred up by this powder, and suddenly, all the fierceness and fighting intent were all stimulated! It was no longer timid and afraid, and suddenly it raised its head and roared, baring its fangs. opened his mouth of blood and spurted his mouth, and as soon as his body jumped, he pounced!
The lion's pounce was extremely fast and fast, and the praying mantis, it staggered step by step, but it seemed to be so clumsy, seeing that the lion pounced in front of him, Chen Xiao thought that the mantis would be pounced by the lion. But I didn't expect it. It was at this time that a movement of the praying mantis. Let Chen Xiao be stunned!
The two long bone knives on the two upper limbs of the praying mantis suddenly crossed in front of him, like a cross, and then the praying mantis immediately bent its body a few points......
This...... This is clearly a gesture of resistance!!
Bang!
The lion's pounce directly fell on the front limbs of the praying mantis, but to Chen Xiao's surprise, the praying mantis was not pounced, and one of its upper limbs struggled to block forward, and then, the lion was directly thrown out by the huge force!
It was as if it was not a male lion who was thrown out, but a kitten!!
What a power!
Chen Xiao's eyes suddenly lit up!
Then he looked at the pair of sharp bone knives of the mantis monster, and immediately remembered the first time he saw those animal corpses, the cuts on them were sharp and neat...... At that time, I guessed that the "person" who went under the knife must have extremely strong strength!
Now it seems that although this praying mantis is not human, its power is really terrifying!!
In the face of a head-on attack from an adult male lion, you can actually lift the opponent away?!
The lion's body rolled in mid-air, and after landing on the ground, it rolled on the ground and quickly stood up, but it didn't dare to step forward, let out a low threatening roar, and then moved sideways, slowly looking for the opponent's flaws.
And the praying mantis ...... With two clicks, it had put both long knives upright.
The friction of the bone knife actually made a sonorous sound like metal.
Then, the giant praying mantis suddenly made a lunge-like gesture......
It's going to sprint!
Chen Xiao immediately flashed such a thought in his heart. And the next moment, sure enough, confirmed his guess!
The praying mantis suddenly took a lunge step, and its body changed from the clumsiness it had when it was walking just now. Rush forward! At this moment, its movements were as fast as a raging wind!
Although the lion had tried his best to dodge, Chen Xiao just watched this giant praying mantis fly past the lion's body with his own eyes, and his hand was up and down!
Cha!!
Poof!!
I saw a mouthful of fishy blood spurting out frantically! A lion's head rises into the sky!!
What a quick move!
What a strong force!!
How can a praying mantis have such a powerful upper limb strength?!
Chen Xiao's eyes widened!
"This cyborg beast, its bone structure is composed of metal elements that occupy a large proportion, making its bones very hard and extremely supportive. And its power is naturally not small. White Glove saw the scarlet blood, although he couldn't smell the blood at all while sitting in the car, he still subconsciously took out a handkerchief to cover his nose.
After the praying mantis killed a male lion with a single sword, it immediately turned around. To the driver druid in front of him.
The druid's cāo creature control spell didn't seem to have much effect on the giant mantis, and the driver changed his previous leisurely attitude, carefully retreating step by step, repeating the same spell over and over again.
Soon, something unusual happened!
The slain lion, the original green light on his body, seemed to be contagious, when the mantis cut off the lion's head with a knife. The dust of the green sè had quickly become contaminated with the mantis's knife. Soon, it was like a wildfire, spreading wildly!
After watching the praying mantis completely enveloped in green light, the driver druid seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and his tone suddenly changed, and he originally hurriedly spelled. It became a low, slow tone, as if it were some kind of ......
Hypnosis?
Sure enough, the praying mantis's body shook, as if it was a little overwhelmed, and it swayed forward two steps hard, and the driver druid quickly retreated, and the voice of the incantation in his mouth became a little louder.
The praying mantis seemed to be struggling, the knife in its hand. Raise and put down. After struggling for a while, he suddenly jumped up. Volley!
This last struggle seemed to surprise the driver, when the blade of the bone knife reached the ground in front of him, it was too late for the driver to dodge, he could only quickly turn his body sideways and let himself go!
Click!!
An arm rises to the sky! The driver screamed miserably, and after rolling away on the spot, he rolled several times in a row, and actually stood up in pain, sweating profusely, half of his body was stained red with blood, but he still continued to chant the spell in a trembling voice!
"It's a pity......" The white gloves sitting in the car didn't seem to care about the serious injuries of his subordinates, and sighed: "It's a pity...... Druids are useful, but I don't have any higher-level druids under my command. Alas, it's not so easy to recruit high-level druids......"
"Druid...... Could it be ......" Chen Xiao frowned.
"The Druids are an ancient group, and there is an ancient organization in Europe that has a history of thousands of years, and that is one of the oldest in the world...... Druid Society. White Glove smiled slightly: "Hmph, those high-level druids in the association are the real powerhouses, I worked hard to recruit such a low-level druid, his ability is indeed very useful, but the level is too low." ”
Finally, after the mantis's hard blow, it seemed to exhaust all the fierce xìng, and its huge body fell, and soon shrank into a ball—like a watermelon worm, curled up into a large oval-shaped deep stone.
White Glove pushed open the car door and snapped his fingers into the darkness, and several guys in black suits immediately ran out of the darkness, and these people quickly rolled out something like a fishing net, wrapping the giant mantis in layers.
And the druid, who had a broken arm, struggled and endured the pain, came to the front of the mantis, grabbed a handful of strange powder from his arms, and sprinkled it on the mantis's body.
"Alright...... It will sleep for at least forty-eight hours. The driver's face was as pale as paper.
White Glove walked up to the praying mantis himself, and he held it in the box with both hands from one of his men. took out a collar that Chen Xiao had seen, stretched it in his hand, and the collar automatically adjusted its width.
Click.
After his men pulled the curled up mantis's body apart, the white glove put the collar around the mantis's neck with his own hands. The row of metal mesh on the collar soon appeared as thin as a circle of sharp thorns like wheat mangs, and pierced deeply into the mantis's body......
At the same time, several of the metallic lights on it flickered.
"That's it." White Glove looked at the injured driver and groaned, "You did a good job." When I go back, I'll fix you a new arm. Can you still hold it up? ”
"Thank you." The driver nodded, he almost fainted in pain. But he gritted his teeth and said, "I can still support it." ”
A few men in black suits quickly carried the net wrapped around the giant praying mantis away and onto an off-road vehicle.
Chen Xiao looked at the dead lion on the ground in the distance...... I looked at the driver who was said to be a druid.
"The druid, who is supposed to be the one who has the ability to control nature, although I have not dealt with the druid, I have heard of it. Druids must be the most natural creatures, right? Chen Xiao had a calm face.
The driver glanced at Chen Xiao, his face was pale: "I...... It's a druid who has fallen into the darkness! ”
Hum.
Chen Xiao was a little disdainful.
Fall is Fall! What excuses do you have to give yourself?
Dark? It is nothing more than renunciating one's faith in order to satisfy one's selfishness. Why do you say so beautifully!
"So...... The matter is aborted. ”
I got back into the white-gloved car, and the driver in front of me was also changed.
The white gloves looked at Chen Xiao beside him: "Are you relieved?" ”
Chen Xiao frowned.
But there is still something strange in my heart.
This giant praying mantis is somewhat surprising though...... However, it is not so great. With the strength of the co-worker, it should be no problem to clean up such a biochemical beast.
But why do co-workers act as if they are facing a great enemy? Dead or alive refuse to tell everyone such a commission? And repeatedly asked Chen Xiao to conceal it?!
"It's a stop." Chen Xiao suppressed the doubts in his heart and looked at the white gloves: "Then, I will start my mission immediately." ”
"Very well, in that case, I'll give you a night to prepare. Early tomorrow morning. I'll send someone to pick you up at the coffee shop, and I'll assign you an identity to get close to your conservation target. Then, for the next month, you have to keep your goal absolutely safe. White Glove suddenly changed his tone: "If the mission fails, then." The conditions I fulfilled before will no longer be valid! And there are other bad consequences! ”
"You don't need to threaten me." Chen Xiao said lightly: "Early tomorrow morning?" That's it! ”
In the evening, Chen Xiao went back to the coffee shop to pack up her things, and went home to get a few clothes.
When he returned to the coffee shop, the three old fellows were already waiting.
"You've decided you're going to accept the commission?" Lao Tian sighed.
"Why?" Zhu Rong was puzzled, and at the same time jǐng told Chen Xiao: "Boy! The guys at the club aren't easy to deal with! Those guys are like yīn souls, once they get wet, they can't get rid of them in the future! ”
"Can I get rid of it now?" Chen Xiao suddenly smiled and asked rhetorically.
Zhu Rong was speechless.
"The time to escape is over." Chen Xiao helped her glasses. His expression was more solemn than ever. looked at Zhu Rong, and then looked at Lao Tian: "Actually...... All the time. I'm too cowardly. It's really too cowardly. I thought I could go on with my normal life, and I was even scared that I would become a monster. But ......"
He smiled: "After going to Homeland Island once, I was sure that I was already an Alien!" It's just that my parents didn't know how to stop my mutation and make me look like a normal person for the first eighteen years. But...... I feel more and more that things are far from being as simple as I used to think. ”
He lowered his voice suddenly. looked at Zhu Rong and looked at Lao Tian: "Sometimes, I even have a suspicion, which makes me very scared, very afraid. ”
"What suspicion?" Lao Tian frowned.
"My parents...... They were all really ordinary people. Chen Xiaodi's voice was very soft, and he said in a low voice: "Just before I was born, their work and research field was not bioengineering, let alone genetic engineering...... But why. A few years after I was born, they quickly changed the subject of their research, and then they were recruited by the club with the results of their research? I even occasionally wondered: will it be, back then. Mom and Dad, they ...... It's for me! It's to treat me that I will turn to genetic engineering! ”
Chen Xiao said, tears flowing gently from the corners of his eyes.
Living in the blue sky of Zìyóu......
This is the last word that their parents left to themselves, and it is also their last wish!
What does this phrase mean?
Chen Xiao didn't understand it before.
But now, he understood!
Parents don't want to get involved in the world of supernatural abilities! Especially after entering the club, after seeing too many "experiments" like pigs in captivity, parents don't want to get involved in that world!
So, heal yourself! Making yourself an ordinary person again is the biggest goal of parents!
In the end, they succeeded!
The purification potion has succeeded!!
But...... but brought them death!
Chen Xiao raised his head again. He looked at Lao Tian and Zhu Rong: "I didn't understand these truths before. I could have escaped with peace of mind, but now, I understand...... Can I continue to run away like this? ”
He suddenly smiled lightly: "There is a girl who said a word to me. ”
After a pause, he read softly:
"You, I—we! Our blood, our lives. It's different from most individuals in this world. This is our fate, and since fate has chosen us, we cannot escape. Don't be self-conscious, and don't think about whether it's fair. Because there has never been fairness in this world, it has never been before, and it will not be. ”
"But what do you want to do?" Zhu Rong frowned.
"I don't know."
When Chen Xiao said "I don't know", his expression was very calm, and his expression was even more relaxed. Smiled faintly: "I don't know what I should do." I didn't even know what I could do and what I could do. But I know at least one thing: I can't run away from it! I have to step up. Instead of continuing to hide behind someone else! ”
Lao Tian and Zhu Rong were both indifferent.
And the co-workers finally spoke.
At this moment, although he was by Zhu Rong's side, Gonggong still had a serious face, and he didn't deliberately pretend to be that cowardly, but stared at Chen Xiao seriously for a while
"Take care!"
Chen Xiao smiled lightly: "Huidi!" Oh yes...... The matter of the commission has been suspended. Chen Xiao looked at the co-worker: "I think, this should be good news for you." ”
"What commission? What abort? Zhu Rong immediately shouted dissatisfied.
Chen Xiao and Gonggong glanced at each other: "A man's secret." ”
Early the next morning, Chen Xiao left the coffee shop. Because he had to be out for a month, he temporarily handed over the agency of the coffee shop to Champagne.
And he was also handed over to Lao Tian to take care of them temporarily.
watched Chen Xiao carry a travel backpack and go away on the street......
"Lao Tian, I have a bad premonition." Zhu Rong took a sullen puff of his cigarette, then threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with his foot.
"What hunch?" Lao Tian hugged his arms and said leisurely.
"I always feel ...... Chen Xiao is likely to really leave us this time! And ......"
"And what?"
"I always feel ...... He, will he join the club?! ”
