Chapter 34: High Variance
"Request for support!"
"There are unknown creatures in the laboratory! The vanguard has lost contact. Leon was also quick to react, quickly picking up the communicator and asking for support from the rear.
About five minutes later.
A group of soldiers in exoskeleton armor arrived, better equipped and armed with more advanced weapons than the ones the Wolves had held. Leading the group is an expressionless young man who appears to be a member of the Bionic School, and behind him are a number of heavily armed synths, all of whom have a slight resemblance on their faces.
The group soon re-entered the institute.
When passing through the first passage, they saw corpses on the ground, Leon looked at the extremely tragic scene in front of him, and couldn't help but gasp and said, "What the hell did you do?" ”
Seven or eight soldiers wearing exoskeleton power armor fell to the ground, blood had already flowed all over the ground, and not far away there was a completely bent rifle, as if it had been directly broken by something with brute force, and the broken exoskeleton armor was riddled with holes, and the steel armor close to two centimeters thick could not block the enemy's attack. In addition to the dense bullet holes on the surrounding walls, there are also some sharp blade marks, and there are scratches at the top of the passage, and the monster seems to be able to move on the vertical walls.
"Turn on the thermal!" The young man leading the team said in a deep voice.
The dim lights flickered.
The energy supply in the research institute seems to have been cut off, only the faint emergency sensor lights are on, and the surroundings are dim, revealing an eerie atmosphere.
Su Ziyu silently blessed a spiritual energy protection force field, and then followed the troops to gradually go deeper into the research institute.
There's just been a massacre here!
Along the way, they saw almost no living mouths, except for the vanguard that had been sent in at the beginning, they also saw a large number of members of the institute killed, almost all of them in one hit, and most of the corpses were pierced through the heart. In just a short distance, they saw dozens of corpses, heavy iron doors opened by brute force, and more than a dozen corpses piled up in the messy laboratory, both men and women, none of whom looked like combatants.
Soon.
Su Ziyu and his party arrived at the core area of the laboratory, and a pile of intact corpses appeared in their sight, basically wearing white coats, which could be clearly judged to be the researchers here.
These corpses are very weird.
There were no wounds on the surface of their bodies, and there were no signs of a fight nearby, and many corpses fell to the ground quietly, and some even retained the sitting posture before their deaths, and died in front of the instruments one after another. Directly in front of it was an empty laboratory, through the faint sensor light, a completely shattered glass instrument could be seen, some unknown liquid gushed out, with a slight fishy smell, the heavy tempered glass was covered with dense cobweb-like cracks, and there were some bullet holes on it, but there were not many of them, and in the corner you could see the bodies of three guards with guns, unlike the corpses of the others, whose necks had been cut off.
"I've seen this way of dying!"
"Cerebral hemorrhage!"
"There are no wounds on the surface of the body, and the brain suddenly dies!"
A member of the Brotherhood said with a solemn expression: "This is how our people died when we tracked down Solomon. ”
There was a dead silence throughout the laboratory.
Even Su Ziyu didn't sense the monster anymore, there were corpses of researchers everywhere, and they couldn't find even a single live mouth.
"Come and see!" At this time, Leon's voice came.
Su Ziyu walked over quickly, and soon saw a corpse crucified on the wall in an office, it was a bald doctor dressed as a scholar, he was nailed to the wall, like Christ Jesus, but there was a big difference, because there was a lever in his chest, and a tray hung down from the position of his two hands, and it felt like his whole person was a scale.
Tick-tock blood fell.
"What does that mean?" A man next to him asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Leon shook his head and said slowly, "It's kind of like some kind of religious ceremony. ”
"That monster may have run away."
Ran away?
Su Ziyu frowned with a thoughtful look, he and the monster just had a face-to-face from a distance, at that time, the sixth sense had a very strong reaction, and the obvious sense of crisis made him choose to retreat first, anyway, they brought a large group of people over for this operation, and there was no need to face the unknown monster alone.
Moreover, the terrain of the institute was too narrow, and his abilities were a little too much to use, and the flicker was limited to a narrow space range.
But I didn't expect that monster to turn around and run away.
He seems to have retained no low wisdom.
It's not clear that Su Ziyu was taken aback by him at the same time, and the other party may also be taken aback by Su Ziyu, after all, when they first took the face, the spiritual energy of both sides had a certain induction.
"Let's find a way to restore the energy supply here."
"Don't touch that stuff."
"Wait for the people above to come over first."
"Be vigilant."
"There should be other exits here, a team of people follow me to look for them." Soon one by one, orders were given, and Leon led some of his men to find the hidden exit.
Probably a few minutes later.
With a 'hum' sound, the headlights in the research institute lit up one after another, and at the same time, Su Ziyu also trembled instantly, and his spirituality transmitted an extremely strong sense of crisis to him.
"Self-destruct program starts!"
"15 minutes countdown! ……”
With the flickering red light, the institute didn't know what device had been triggered, and a self-destruct countdown appeared on the restarted instruments, which suddenly made the group's expressions slightly flustered.
"Hurry up and find a way to stop it."
"Prepare to evacuate."
"The people of the second team bring these materials with them! Damn it! ”
Fifteen minutes should be enough to evacuate, that is, the information here may not be taken away, Su Ziyu looked at the countdown that was decreasing little by little, thought for a while, and quietly entered the control room.
"Discover artificial intelligence! ……”
"Devouring? ……”
Be.
With a trace of abnormal data flow in his mind, a large number of garbled characters suddenly appeared on the monitor in front of Su Ziyu, and then the prompt of 'data loss' continued to emerge, and the countdown of the self-destruct program also suddenly stopped, and then disappeared in front of him with a drop, and all the monitors were black in an instant.
"Devoured."
"The database is expanding! …… The data related to the higher gene mutation has been stored! ……”
At this time.
Some pictures flashed in Su Ziyu's mind, those were all pictures recorded by the monitoring equipment, and the picture appeared in the figure of Isodle's godmother, who was locked in a completely sealed glass instrument, with more than a dozen metal tubes inserted into her body, and nearby were researchers in white coats, many people were busy outside the laboratory, and from time to time there were people who entered it to extract Isodle's godmother's blood, bone marrow, cerebrospinal fluid, etc. for laboratory analysis.
This process lasted a long time.
Until the godmother of Isolder woke up, she was injected with a large amount of tranquilizers.
There is a strange change in the picture here.
Su Ziyu actually saw a blurry black shadow taken in the surveillance, as if it was an unreal unknown projection, when the bald doctor appeared in the monitoring range for the third time, suddenly the godmother of Isolder, who was locked in the glass instrument, opened her eyes, her long light green hair danced in the unknown liquid, accompanied by a clattering movement, a large number of cracks appeared on the glass instrument, and the outer layer of tempered glass was covered with traces of spiderweb-like cracks, and even the glass glass next to the researcher was directly bursting.
The figure of the Godmother of Isolder suddenly rushed out.
I don't know when, her originally fair skin has turned into a strange dark blue, and some of her body has shown traces of blue and purple, and she let out a scream at the others, and then the researchers outside fell one by one as if they were cutting wheat.
The picture starts to blur here.
It should have been the surveillance camera that was also blown up, and when it was restored again, it was already something captured by the camera outside.
Stomp and tread.
With a slight sound of footsteps, a figure that made Su Ziyu feel extremely strange walked out, the surface of her body was covered with a strange cuticle, her height was about three meters, her light green hair was stuck together like a piece of dirty braids, she was not wearing any clothes, but the outline of her chest could still be seen, but there were no two protrusions, her skin seemed to be covered with a layer of armor, and her dark cyan sharp nails were stained with blood. Two sharp and slender barbed wings stretched out from the spine of her back, and the lower half of her body was also covered with a similar cuticle, and there was no contour of the female genitals, as if these gender characteristics had been completely erased in the process of flesh mutation.
She appeared like a ghost in one frame after another, and those were momentary images captured by different cameras.
Splattered blood and mutilated corpses were everywhere.
The final image is of a cold, unforgiving face, standing in a dark passage, as if to say something, and judging by the amplitude of her lips, she seems to be reading a person's name.
- "Solomon. ”
Then, the highly mutated Godmother Isolder disappeared from the range of these surveillance cameras.
Suziyu's brows tightened.
The picture he just saw should be the surveillance data stored in the research institute, but what he didn't expect was that Isole's godmother suddenly disappeared and was actually caught by someone from the genomics. And they seem to be conducting some unknown experimental research on the body of Isodle's godmother, and in the end, Isodle's godmother's mutated form makes Suziyu feel a little familiar.
He thought about it for a moment, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he thought of himself.
On the plane of the dream realm, the White Queen asked Su Ziyu to take a look behind him, but he saw another blurred phantom of himself behind him.
He had an unusually tall body, about nearly five meters in height, and the muscles on his body were extremely strong, full of an astonishing explosive force. The vague Su Ziyu's expression was extremely cold, his scarlet pupils staring ahead, and his hair had turned into thick braids, just like the dirty braids of Issodel's godmother. One of his hands has turned into a huge gray-white bone blade, and the other hand is three slightly wriggling dark cyan tentacles, and there are two slightly bulging sarcomas on the vertebrae of his back, when Su Ziyu looked at him, this deformed Su Ziyu also looked up at him, and then the sarcoma on his back broke, and two sharp bone spurs stretched out from his back, turning into a pair of bone spur wings that made people look cold.
The mutated appearance of Isodle's godmother is close to seventy percent similar to the other flesh and blood deformed self that Su Ziyu saw at that time!
"She still retains a high level of wisdom!"
Suziyu has dealt with super aberrations twice, but whether it is the one from Polaris or the one from the Ghoul Club, they have all lost most of their minds.
But Godmother Isolder is completely different!
After meeting Su Ziyu, she directly chose to retreat and escape from here.
Meanwhile.
While Su Ziyu and his party were still in the research institute, a tall woman dressed in a brotherhood costume also quietly walked out of a dark corner. She has long, slightly striking light green hair, and the tight-fitting combat uniform on her body seems to be a little smaller, revealing a bumpy figure that makes people involuntarily look at it twice.
If this is not the end of the battle, it is estimated that there will be men who can't help but come over and talk to them.
She swaggered outside.
Although she attracted the attention of many people along the way, no one stopped her from leaving.
"Stop!"
It wasn't until she reached the edge of the battlefield that a man in exoskeleton armor suddenly stopped her, and the man frowned and looked at the woman in front of him, wondering, "Which branch are you from?" ”
"Why haven't I seen you?"
Facing the inquiry of the man in front of her, the tall woman in front of her couldn't help but smile, and said in a quiet tone: "You've seen me." It's just that you don't remember. ”
The man's expression was slightly dazed, and he suddenly patted his head and said, "That's right! ”
"You're from the Frostpunk branch, right?"
"I've been over there a few times."
"The mission is not over yet, and no unauthorized action is allowed now. Hurry back to the team. ”
The beautiful woman frowned slightly, then looked up and said, "Look into my eyes." ”
The eyes of the two sides met for a moment, and the man's expression suddenly became dazed.
"I have a special assignment to do."
"Gotta leave now." The woman chuckled.
Soon.
The man in front of him just got out of the way, and it wasn't until the other party left for a long time that the man touched his head and muttered in a low voice: "Is there any special task to send a woman to perform?" ”
"She doesn't seem to have been transformed by biomimicry, has she?"
"It's so pretty!"
"When have I seen her? Why don't you remember at all? ”
………………
