Chapter 21: The Cone of Light

"Captain, we have detected a mutant approaching you from a container three hundred meters to the east, and it is very fast."

As soon as Lin Ci received the report in the wireless earphones, a dull sound sounded in the air, and his face changed suddenly, "Get out of the way!" ”

The five of them fell to the ground, and saw a black shadow pass over their heads, and several containers next to them slipped down with a click. Lin Ci rolled on the ground, looked up, and saw that a woman in the goggles was standing on the box above her head, looking down at everyone coldly, with a pair of purple wings spread behind her back, she laughed strangely, and pounced again. At the same time, the wings fluttered, and the space around them immediately distorted slightly.

"Fatty, protect everyone!" Lin Xi roared.

Pang Hao immediately stood up and stood in front of everyone, and pieces of bone armor appeared on the surface of his body. He spread his hands to protect the heads of the people, and immediately a spark bounced on his back and hands, as if he had been scraped by countless invisible blades.

"Don't let him run!" Out of the corner of his eye, Lin Xi found that the mutant was about to escape, so he hurriedly shouted, and shot with a gun in his hand.

The others also reacted, leaning on both sides of the fat man, and firing at the mutant in mid-air.

But mutants are inherently fast mutants, and even though these team members have undergone dynamic vision modification surgery, it is still difficult to capture her. There was a constant roar above his head, and the air blade formed by the mutant flapping his wings from time to time made the fat man's body jump straight away. The fat man grinned, and although he was not hurt by such an attack, it still hurt.

Seeing that the mutants were so rampant, Lin Ci's eyes were slightly cold, and he suddenly had a plan and said, "Rose, look to see if there is a narrow place nearby." ”

"Cramped place? I'll look for it. The female team member named Rose immediately stopped on the holographic map, "Found it, on the right hand hand in front, there is a utility room, less than twenty zhang to the left and right." ”

"Good." Lin Ci nodded lightly, "Where everyone forces her to go, the fat man pays attention to protecting everyone." ”

"Action!"

The team began to move, and the mutant saw that they were about to run, and became anxious. It's a pity that although she is fast, her attack is not strong enough. The air blade was undoubtedly fatal to ordinary humans, but when it fell under the fat man's thick bone armor, it could not harm others.

Soon the team moved to the target field, which was a cramped room, and the mutants followed. When space is limited, her movement is immediately restricted. Although it still jumps like a fly, the orbit of movement is much less than in the wide space just now.

"Rose, calculate her trajectory and give me the timing to cut into the bearings."

"Understood, please wait."

"Well, after 3 seconds, there's a 73% chance she'll appear above you at 9 o'clock!"

Lin Ci counted silently in his heart for three seconds, and at the last second, he suddenly raised his left hand, and the blood devoured it, just as a black shadow collided and was slapped by Lin Ci. The mutant immediately flew upside down like a kite with a broken string, crashing into a row of shelves. The shelf fell down and pressed on her, she wanted to break free, but her wings were pressed by the shelf, and she couldn't move for a while. Suddenly, she looked up, only to see the bloody five claws wide open and captured, and immediately tore off her left side of her chest and an arm!

"That's it." Lin Ci took a breath and said, "Rose, are there any other mutants here?" ”

"There's another one, it's ......"

"Where?"

"Just above us!"

The sound fell, and the ceiling of the room suddenly split apart, and a dark shadow fell along with the rubble. Lin Ci raised his hand and raised his gun, and a black shadow swept over from the hustle and bustle, sweeping the large-caliber pistol in his hand away. The air waves are agitated, and some people are rushing out of the dust and smoke, and the sense of oppression is full!

"Fatty." Lin Xi shouted, and at the same time rushed towards the other party, and the blood devouring caught it, and collided with something, which felt hard to the touch.

The fat man slammed over and slammed into a row of shelves with the man in his arms. Several rows of shelves were knocked down by them, and the man was thrown out, and immediately three or four machine guns fired at the black shadow.

The line of bullets swept over the man, but there was a clanging sound. Lin Ci narrowed his eyes, and the two arms of the mutant who were temporarily suppressed turned into a spear-shaped, and the end of the tail sticking out of his back was also shaped like the tip of a spear. These were obvious features of the attacking species, but his body was still encased in knotted bone armor, which was a sign only found in the shield species.

"Hybrid?" Lin Ci hesitated.

In the classification of mutants, hybrid species are relatively rare, and at the same time, a more troublesome kind of monster. They have more than two different abilities at the same time.

"Roarβ€”" The hybrid roared like a beast and charged at the hail of bullets. Lin Ci glanced at the fat man, and the two of them greeted him at the same time. Seeing that the two of them were facing the enemy, the rear team members could only stop firing so as not to injure them by mistake.

The hybrid first swept a shot at the fat man, but the fat man hugged him with both hands, and he roared angrily, and the spear in his right hand stabbed the fat man in the eye. Seeing that the fat man had nowhere to start with thick armor all over his body, he picked the obvious weakness of his eyes and attacked.

Lin Ci took the opportunity to copy it from the right side of the mixed species, and the mixed species glanced at him, and the long tail curled up to Lin Ci's feet. Lin Xi jumped up to dodge the tail, and the bloody five-claw grabbed the guy's head. The hybrid screamed, raised his right hand to block, and the blooddevouring tore out several bands of dark red light that grazed his spear, bringing up a puff of sparks. At this time, the mixed breed long tail bounced up, wrapped up Lin Ci's left foot and shook it hard, and threw Lin Ci out!

Lin Ci hit the wall on the other side and bounced back to the ground, he shook his head and stood up and shouted, "Fatty, grab his hands!" ”

Pang Hao shouted, clapping the mixed seed's hands under his armpits. Lin Xi's claws pressed on the ground, and the ground crackled and cracked, and it sank into a shallow pit. With the power of this press, Lin Xi rushed forward. At this time, the chaotic species raised the tail of the spear and stabbed the fat man's head, and was about to be stabbed, but he caught the claws of the Blood Devourer. Lin Xi stepped on the middle of the tail, grabbed it with his right hand, and then pulled it up with force.

The mixed species immediately let out a cry of pain, and Lin Xi let out a loud roar and ripped off the first half of his long tail. Blood-devouring threw it casually, throwing the broken tail away, and Lin Ci shouted: "Bow your head!" ”

When the fat man heard this, he immediately lowered his head.

Lin Xi lifted the blood devouring and grabbed it fiercely, passing over the top of the fat man's head and grasping it on the chest of the mixed species. Lin Ci pushed forward hard, separating the mutant's body and hands. Bloodthirsty caught the bastard and slammed into the wall with a muffled thud. The wall was knocked open by the two of them, and Lin Ci's speed did not decrease, still pushing the mixed seed to plow forward, and they hit one cargo box after another, and finally crashed into a load-bearing column.

The pillar shook, and a thick crack spread upward, spewing out a canopy of mud and sand from the crack. Lin Ci put his right hand on his left arm, only to feel a stream of fire in his body surging towards his left hand, and the scales on the blood devouring were slightly opened, and countless black particles erupted from it, forming a dark red cone of light thorns.

Lin Ci Cone slammed down, swallowed out from the palm of his hand, and instantly pierced through the mixed bone armor on the chest of the chaotic species, pierced through the muscles, pierced the heart, and then stabbed out from the back and nailed into the pillar! When the tip of the light cone pierced out from behind the column, a gray-white shockwave spread out, setting off a powerful wave of air.

Then the surrounding scenery and the corpses of the mutants began to line up, and when the lines also disappeared, it was all dark around Lin Ci and the others. Then a light began to light up in the darkness, and one by one the lights turned on, and Lin Ci took off his goggles and exhaled. When I open my eyes again, the environment of the factory warehouse is replaced by a large and empty space.

He looked up, and behind a floor-to-ceiling window more than ten meters wide above him, a figure was standing.

"You've worked hard. This is the end of this simulation, so go down and rest. Lin Xi, I will personally train you in the afternoon. ”

The image of the crowd vanished, replaced by a bird with flapping wings. A woman stood in front of the screen and said to the people on both sides of the long table in front of her: "Guys, the xenomorph project has been launched. What you just saw was the training of the 10th team. Through the training of the xenomorphs who join the 'Taiyi' organization, the xenomorphs plan to form a combat team with the core of the xenomorphs to fight against the increasingly powerful bloodthirsty xenomorphs; as long as they have a certain combat capability, these people can be put into actual combat to make up for the shortcomings of our soldiers in the 'Taiyi'. ”

"Each squad consists of five people, a captain, a vice-captain, a sniper, an analyst, and a support team. Among them, the captain and deputy captains are Xenomorph or Taiyi soldiers, and the other members are elites from the army. Coupled with the various equipment developed by us, it is also possible to kill mutants. ”

An old man with gray hair on the left seat said lightly: "However, these soldiers can only deal with ordinary xenomorphs. When encountering high-level xenomorphs, it may not be able to play a role! ”

The woman in charge of the explanation immediately looked at the bespectacled man in the center. Han Zhikong gestured, and then said, "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Liu." Go down, and I'll explain the rest. ”

The woman immediately bowed and stepped back.

The man with glasses looked at the white-haired old man and said slowly, "Professor Sun, your concern is correct. But at present, the number of xenos has exceeded our expectations, and there are even countless xenomorphs lurking among human beings, the disaster in Qingqian City is by no means the beginning, nor will it be the end, we must use all our strength to resist and even eliminate xenomorphs. ”

The old professor said again: "So how many battle formations does the Xenomorph Project plan to recruit?" ”

"There are twenty-four in total, and the 'Forbidden Evil Division' is also sending more 'Taiyi' soldiers to help us, and I believe that in the near future, there will be a new group of squads into battle."

"Well, I'll feed this plan back to the Alliance."

At the top of the place, a middle-aged officer wearing a military uniform took the opportunity to answer: "There is Professor Lao." In addition, I would like to announce one thing to you. In three months, the army will carry out a 'xenopurge program'! ”

Hearing this, Han Zhikong's expression moved slightly, and he looked at him in surprise: "Lieutenant Li, is it the plan to use the ground orbit satellite to release RD potions to the world?" ”

Li Tong nodded and said: "Yes, not long ago, the leaders of the alliance countries confirmed it. I don't think it's a big deal. ”

Han Zhi stood up suddenly, and retorted sharply: "This matter is absolutely not feasible, there are still many hidden dangers in RD medicine, and there is a lack of reliable data to support it. At the moment we have no evidence that it does not cause side effects on the human gene chain. ”

Lieutenant Lee reached out and made a "sit down" gesture, then whispered a few words to an assistant next to him. A moment later, a new image appeared on the big screen, showing two different rooms, one with a middle-aged man and the other with only attackers. The attackers are trying to break out of the room, but to no avail.

The image is paused.

"What is this?" Han Zhikong's eyes were surprised.

"This is the experiment of the alliance branch on the RD potion, the first room is an ordinary human, and the second room is an 'aggressive' xenomorph, the RD agent is transmitted into the organism through the air, accelerating the loss of water from the molecular level to cause dehydration of mutants, and expelling the latent insects, please continue to watch this experimental video." He gestured.

His assistant clicks on the playback function on the tablet, and the image on the big screen continues to play.

There is a progress bar next to each of the two rooms, representing the saturation of the RD flask in the air. As the progress bar begins to move forward, the humans in the room on the left are unusual, but the mutants on the right are irritable and restless, which makes it more aggressive. After the progress bar exceeds 50%, the human on the left seems to sense thirst and unconsciously sticks out his tongue and licks his lips. The mutants' movements were noticeably less intense than before, and their bodies were covered in sweat.

Soon the progress bar reached 80%, and the mutant was already lying on the ground and not moving, but his body twitched from time to time. There was a puddle of water on the ground, and the mutants lying on the water stains were still sweating profusely. When the progress bar reaches 100, the word "death" appears on the mutant's screen. As for the human in the room on the left, although he was also sweating profusely, he was still able to move and was sane.

This concludes the recording.

Li Tong said: "The experimental expression of the alliance branch, after many improvements, the RD potion only caused serious dehydration to mutants, and as for humans, the impact was very limited. With the support of this data, it is only a matter of time before the cleansing program is passed. ”

Han Zhikong suddenly said: "But there are slight differences in genes between different races, how do you know that RD medicine will not cause damage to specific people?" Lieutenant Li, you must be cautious in your delivery......"

"That's it!" Li Tong interrupted Han Zhikong's words and said in a deep voice: "Don't fight about this matter, I will bring your opinion to the top." ”

Han Zhikong looked at him and said after a moment: "Have you considered the headquarters what kind of damage this potion will cause to the 'Taiyi' soldiers and even the xenomorphs?" ”

Li Tong was silent.
