Chapter 378: The Great War Escalates

"That's the foreshadowing, right? Transformed octopus seen at Yale University...... Is it called a contemplative? Alain immediately thought of room 207 in the small Yale building, "It looks like it should be standard, it seems to be connected to the surveillance system, so they were lucky the first time and didn't meet it?" Are there any of these contemplatives on the Wellington campus? ”

Of course, these kinds of questions are not answered now, but Alain also feels a slight uneasiness - as a multinational company, the strength of Wellington Group cannot be exaggerated, and even if it is described realistically, it will cause the audience to question it, because for most viewers, they do not understand the real strength of multinational enterprises, and imagine how it must be exaggerated. However, this also raises a problem, because the description is very realistic, so Kelly alone without superpower bonuses, against a large enterprise, this is a bit unlikely, this pit is being dug bigger and bigger, and it is getting harder and harder.

"It's supposed to be time for a superpower movie - is this a superpower movie...... I've always been doing superhero propaganda......" he became a little agitated, "Well, but as a DS gene activator, she is a new generation herself......"

The speed of thinking is very fast, the camera has not changed from slow to fast, all kinds of thoughts have already flickered past, and the big screen is back to Kelly's main perspective, in 'Kelly's vision', she is thrown into the air, is falling, except for the tentacles that are being drawn, there is nothing to grasp and fix, see the tentacles getting closer and closer, closer and closer-

“**!” After a row of rapidly calculated formulas, and with a swear word, Kelly raised her hand, and the thin gas that had appeared just now shot out again, this time rapidly sliming, changing Kelly's downward trend, and also allowing her to avoid the end of the drawn tentacle and stick to the thicker bottom.

In the sky above the slick factory, several of the eight tentacles of the Contemplative must be used to maintain the posture of hanging the golden hook upside down, and this tentacle bent several times and could not reach Kelly, the Contemplative simply changed his tactics - the tentacles that were glued by Kelly stepped forward and grabbed a protrusion on the ceiling, and the remaining few fell down, falling on the beam several meters below and coiled, and then with a wave of the tentacle, the body fell, and Kelly who was stuck to the bottom was also drawn to the beam together, like a small worm that was sticked, On the verge of being crushed to death by the gravity of the Ponder's fall.

"Wow!" When Kylie's perspective was falling rapidly, many viewers screamed - in fact, this kind of flying fight scene is not uncommon, but it is particularly thrilling in the 3D perspective, especially the feeling of free fall, as if you are on a roller coaster, and even make some viewers with poor balance want to vomit.

Fortunately, this perspective did not last long, it seemed that it was just to explain how Kelly made judgments in the crisis, and soon, the camera switched back to the side perspective - the eighth tentacle of the contemplative smashed down and slapped the beam, causing a slight vibration of the plant structure, but it did not relax its vigilance, and the electronic eye was still scanning the surroundings 360 degrees - above, below, around the factory, there was no shadow of Kelly, and the tentacles could easily be seen between the wriggling, Kelly escaped in a desperate shot, and not a single fly that had been slapped to the point of 'guts sticking out' was dying above the beam.

However, from the contemplative's point of view, almost all of the inside of the factory has been scanned, and it has even checked the surveillance field online, except for the audience to see that many armed security guards are coming, there is not the slightest trace of Kelly.

The camera returns to a third-person perspective, but also wanders around, as if looking for Kelly, as if by a casual shift, it flips into an overhead angle - Kelly appears in the viewer's field of vision under the intersection of the contemplative's entrenched beams, with her limbs spread out, and slime molds glued directly below the contemplative. In a moment of surprise and relief, a low 'Oh! Then the camera cuts to Kelly's mask - she's not talking now, of course, but her fingers are constantly tapping in the air, typing and communicating with Parvati.

"Modified creatures," Parvati's dialog appears at the top right of the screen. "There's still one end in workshop one, it's moving here, security is coming, **, Kelly, the situation is completely out of control, you must evacuate immediately."

"I know, I know!" Kelly's tone also became intense, her eyes widened, and she looked up at the contemplative across the beam, "But now the question is how to go?" ”

The camera returns to Parvati, and the Indian girl muses as she types, 'Try to destroy its control center or message receiver, I'm looking for a similar blueprint for a mechanical organism - it should be in the head, according to common sense-'

Amid the tense music, Parvati began to drag the information frantically on the Internet, while the contemplative's electronic eye continued to move around, as if it had discovered something, and its tentacles gradually spiraled down silently.

"Found it!" Parvati shouted, "Give me a few minutes—"

"Already, no," seemed to sense something, and Kelly stopped typing, gritting her teeth and whispering intermittently, then called out again, "It's a few minutes, a minute, a minute." ”

As she spoke, the contemplative's tentacles suddenly appeared around the steel beam—the camera cut to the side again, its head sitting entirely in the center of the intersection, and its eight tentacles rose to the limit, strangling down at the same time, like an enthusiastic child trying to break the beam in his arms.

After letting the audience see this spectacular scene, the camera quickly cut forward, and at the same time the speed slowed down suddenly - at the moment when the tentacles were raised and not yet landed, Kelly turned over suddenly, releasing most of the slime molds, only her feet were still on the steel plate by the slime molds, she quickly touched her right foot, removed one of the equipment belts on her feet, reached out and shook it, the equipment belt twisted and bent, turning into a black blade, the tentacles approached little by little, Kelly kicked with both feet, as if on the flat ground, relying on her outstanding waist strength, First swinging backwards to accumulate power, then thrust forward, the body completed the inverted U-shape, and at the same time as the blade pierced through the steel plate, stabbing into the contemplative's head, causing it to let out a miserable hiss, the tentacles also violently wrapped around the beam, and under the violent twisting, the steel beam suddenly deformed and shook, and the contemplative also staggered, making it impossible to tell whether it was injured or simply out of balance.

The background music suddenly converged, and in slow motion, the entire theater fell silent, and a few seconds later, there was a loud bang, and the steel beam broke through it, and in the magnificent background music, the contemplative fell: with a pure, powerful roar, a man rushed out of its head, bringing out a puff of oil, and just as she was about to hit the ground, a jet trail flew out, and then, relying on the traction of the fungus, Kelly fell back above the beam, Panting and glaring at the contemplative who had fallen to the ground, it was clearly not dead despite the blow, and its tentacles were still wriggling vigorously, but it seemed as if it had fallen into a daze, and it would not be able to stand up for a while.

On the other hand, Kylie's uniform is also corroded to tatters, a glove is missing, and the mask has corroded wounds in many places, faintly revealing the blonde hair underneath. She staggered and let go of her hand, letting the already somewhat deformed dagger fall to the ground, while throwing a fist-sized octopus gut in her other hand to her feet, took a few steps, sat down with her back against a pillar, and said with some weakness as she gasped, "How many people are approaching?" ”

With this inquiry, the door was slammed open, and hordes of heavily armed soldiers rushed in, and even more terrifyingly, there was a movement on the partition wall between Workshop 1 and Workshop 2, and then the entire iron wall was pushed down by tentacles, and a new contemplative appeared in the field of view - the camera panned upwards and through the factory - helicopters, a security team of almost a private army, and four contemplatives from the two factories behind - Such a luxurious lineup made the audience gasp a few times: it is so difficult to deal with one, the stealth function of the costume can only fool the surveillance, and now the costume is damaged, in this case, how can Kelly escape? She had little choice but to be tied down or die together.

"Yes......" Parvati, who had seen everything through the surveillance, closed his eyes and showed a pained expression, but his tone remained perk-hearted, "A lot of people, but we don't have a chance, Kelly, how much gear do you have now?" ”

"The fungus stock has bottomed out," Kelly blinked, and her consciousness seemed a little unconscious, "By the way, there's good news - the blood of the octopus seems to be poisonous, at least it has a strong hallucinogenic effect - six chemical bombs are useless, but it seems that there is no way to save the situation except to kill a mercenary, maybe I can use it to kill myself......"

"Don't say that!" Parvati shouted, and she stood up and propped herself up on the console, unable to accept that her best friend was going to fall into the hands of the enemy like this, and was still thinking of a way, "-if-if you say ......"

She closed her eyes, "If you say you're just coming to see, just want to video, want to figure out what's going on - that's what we're for!" - You said Tom. Will Wellington - he admires you, Kelly! ”

"sh," Kelly said, shaking her head, weakly, "don't put your hope in the kindness of others, remember?" ”

Helicopters, Ponderers, Private Army...... By the time Kelly and Parvati were talking, they had surrounded the entire fight, and although they hadn't been able to locate Kelly, they were running out of time for her. However, no one attacked, as if they were all waiting for something - and after a while, the door opened, and Tom. Wellington walked over.

"I'm curious about you." He said in Kelly's direction, calm and friendly, "Very few people can break into Wellington's territory - or twice, you're from the FBI?" cia? kgb? No matter who you are, you're a human being – what do you know? I'm sorry I was wrong, you're a genius. And genius represents the future of humanity, and the Wellington Group values genius very much, so I want to -- talk to you. If you are open-minded, you will find that what we are doing is actually a great good thing for you, a rare opportunity-"

Kelly turned her back to Tom and didn't move, judging by her expression inside the mask, she wasn't touched, and her weakness seemed to improve as time passed.

"Looks like you're stubborn." Seeing that there was no response, Tom took two steps, his expression gloomy, and he suddenly changed his mind, "You know what--I don't really care about genius-"

The hands of the soldiers tightened on the trigger, Tom turned to leave the battlefield, Kelly swallowed, her gaze wandering around, as if searching for the last shred of life, her gaze quickly skimming somewhere—and suddenly moving back again—

"But......" Tom, who had already turned around, suddenly stopped again, and he slowly turned again, with a hint of doubt and temptation hidden in his expression, as if he had given another step down the stairs just in case, "I have a question about you that has not been resolved—you know what?" Although you are very smart and have never shown your face, you still leave a mark on the surveillance......"

The montage cut to the research institute of Yale University, Tom with a gloomy face was pacing back and forth in front of the computer, and several technicians were dressing up as staff at the time, going down from the third floor to the second floor, and Kelly, who walked into room 207, extracted it from the surveillance screen - after a series of data effects, a mannequin was reconstructed according to the 2D picture, and the approximate data such as height and weight were also marked one by one, and the form of walking, blonde hair, and ...... Aside from the fact that its face is still blank, it does look somewhat similar to Kelly......

"Ahh

"This is indeed a flaw!"

“**! This level of technology is also terrifying, with pervasive surveillance...... Wellington can't beat it! ”

There was a commotion in the theater, and this 'unexpected and reasonable' change made the audience suddenly excited - this feeling of being intellectually overcome was really refreshing, although the fight scene just now was only a few minutes, and there was no big movement of the collapsed building, but they still didn't have the feeling of 'this is not worth the ticket price', and they still felt that the movie was pleasantly surprised. This feeling of special effects + strict script is really refreshing!

"You know, you're a lot like a friend of mine—a friend that's so special to me." Tom stared in the direction of Kelly, and said slowly, he occasionally showed a hint of tenderness, "She's also a genius, a very curious genius, and I've hidden it from her in many things, but that's not my intention, and maybe it has caused some misunderstanding between us, but I hope she'll forgive me, as I can forgive her—and when a person finds out that he's been deceived, whatever he does to react is of course reasonable, as long as she forgives me, Then it's a trivial matter......"

Ah, doesn't Tom really think Kelly is here to sabotage? He thinks she's just here to see the truth? Well, but that's right, Kylie basically just got involved, and she didn't kill anyone a few times, and she didn't even cause any permanent damage to others......

Seeing Tom's sincere attitude, many viewers hesitated: although according to convention, the protagonist will not compromise on this kind of recruitment, but now, if he doesn't confess his identity, how will Kelly break the game? Is she really going to accept Tom's solicitation?

As if moved by Tom, behind the iron pillar, a figure shook, and a masked but slightly blonde head poked out, checked the situation, and shrank back, Tom's face flashed with joy, and he said loudly, "K-"

A hand suddenly appeared in the camera, in slow motion, a piece of equipment belt on the arm suddenly turned into a muzzle, two small round balls shot out, accompanied by two 'bump, bump' two sounds, a large cloud of smoke filled the air, Tom's expression changed greatly, but was quickly dragged out of the No. 2 workshop by the bodyguard, and in the fog, someone was already screaming, "My fingers, my fingers!" ”

More people began to shoot aimlessly in Kelly's direction, and the camera quickly recoiled to Kelly's side - she shook her hand and threw another bomb, and jumped down with the bomb, as if she had committed suicide into the void more than ten meters high -

The camera zooms in to the cross-sectional view of the onlooker: in the large factory building, the industrial atomizer stands in the center, surrounded by a large open space, and beyond it is a tin staircase. In such a scene, Kelly's whereabouts, smoke, soldiers howling and shooting into the air make for a large and extremely lively view, and in the magnificent background music, the picture gradually freezes, and the familiar flashback sound effect repeats, this time cutting back to a few seconds ago: Kelly's gaze inadvertently falls on a meter on the industrial atomizer.

Seeing that the pointer of the meter pointed to Max, Kelly was slightly stunned, as if she remembered something, and her expression changed very obviously in an instant-although it was still that cool look, her eyes were completely different, and she suddenly changed from tired and resigned to fate, and transformed into smart and full of hope.

"This atomizer has finished loading." She said.

"Oh!" Charles cried out - he was already excited. "Could it be—"

"Huh?" Parvati in the movie asks suspiciously, "What?" ”

"The nebulizer has been loaded, and there should be four tons of compound 876 stored in the tank," Kelly said, "P, remember how curious we were about what would happen to the receptor with the active DS gene itself injected with compound 876?" ”

Another montage: Kelly and Parvati are discussing the topic intensely, and Kelly picks up the syringe and jokingly tries to inject herself, but is slapped off by Parvati.

"But we don't have a suitable target, we don't have a test subject whose DS gene is inherently active -- but Tom does, listen to him, 'If you're a genius, this thing means a great deal and a great opportunity for you,' what does that mean? This means that compound 876 still works against the receptor where the DS gene is active! ”

"You mean-" Parvati gasped, "nonononono, Kelly, nononono, don't do that-"

Judging from Tom's voice in the background, he had already said the reason why he didn't want to kill him - he must be special to Kelly, and this made Kelly blink her eyelashes, her expression hesitated for a moment, and Parvati on the other end of the phone seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and said continuously, "Kelly, listen to him, don't do that, don't do that!" ”

But that doesn't stop Kelly: she looks at the situation, throws the bomb, and then jumps down into the void - and when Kelly returns to where she fell when the camera froze, the camera returns to its normal speed, and everything seems to be between lightning and flint: the chemical bomb suddenly corrodes a hole above the pool, and with a pop, Kelly falls into the pool without a sound.

In the black pool of material that looks like the bottom of the sea, suddenly shoot. The incoming light scattered a romantic brilliance and ripples, and Kelly, who was blowing bubbles and sinking into the depths, was like an elf falling into the sea, her blonde hair was completely scattered, although she did not show her face, but the composition, tone and romantic soundtrack of this scene made people can't help but hold their breath and feel a strong shock and beauty......

After a few seconds, the camera cuts back to Kelly's point of view: she looks like she's wearing an oxygen tank, her ears are full of wheezing, swishing, swishing, regular breathing, and it doesn't seem like breathing is a problem, while Parvati says anxiously during the call, "How are you feeling now, Kelly?" Are you okay? ”

"Three seconds into the pool, everything is fine-" Kelly said, she was stunned for a moment, "Wait, I seem to have a break here-"

As she spoke, Didi's phone rang in Kelly's vision, and Tom flashed in front of Kelly's eyes. Wellington's name, she pressed the button and answered the phone.

"Hey, Tom?" Kelly's tone was very normal, but her voice was a little muffled.

"Hey, Kelly." Tom's tone was also in high spirits, as if nothing had happened.

"What's the matter?"

"I just wanted to call you all of a sudden—"

The camera cuts back to the aesthetic composition of the previous shot, but the effect is not so beautiful - Kelly no longer maintains the same pose, but boredly paddling in the water, chatting with Tom in the freestyle, breaststroke, backstroke: this 'sudden withdrawal' of cold humor has caused the cinema to burst into the biggest laugh since the show began. The men and women with their own ghosts are gossiping about each other, pretending that there is no war on the Western Front, while at the same time Kelly is doing such a funny thing in such an extreme environment - this part is really difficult not to laugh.

"Hahaha," said Tom, and after a few moments of pleasantry, Kelly was about to hang up. "So, Tom—"

When the audience had just laughed out loud for a while, and their emotions had not completely calmed down, the camera slowly cut closer to Kelly, and she said, "If it's okay, I'll hang up—"

- And at this moment, Kelly's whole body suddenly trembled, like she was having a seizure, and she couldn't help but let out a 'uh, uh' sound, and Tom was on the other end of the phone, 'Kelly? Kelly shouted, and Kelly rolled her eyes up, her eyelids not closed, and just rolled her eyes and sank straight to the bottom of the pool......
