Chapter Ninety-Three: Test Subject
After the laser weapon caught the management by surprise, it aimed at the suspect in the warehouse, and dozens of scarlet rays swept through the space in an instant, and the quarantine area suddenly turned into a blood-red world.
The walls and floors were covered with bloodstains and charred corpses, and the ceiling was dripping with high-temperature transpiration that dripped onto the ground, forming several water stains in the shape of rings. Several corpses with their limbs cut off and only their torsos lay by the wall, emitting a scorching smell and scattered on the ground mixed with debris, completely indistinguishable from each other.
"Why do you use your weapons to attack your own people!?"
Evan pulled Keane up from the floor, then let go of his hand and asked, pointing to the charred corpse on the floor.
"I don't know!"
The middle-aged man hugged his head decadently, his eyes flickered because of intense thinking, and he muttered to himself:
"If you want to manipulate the defense facilities, you must obtain access to the control terminal of the space fortress, but only I know the control code! β
"You mean to say that you've lost control of the Space Fortress?"
Ivan suddenly felt a chill in his heart, and his whole person was like falling into an ice cellar, and he quickly analyzed: "Either the second person who knows the password is the Dreadbeast, or he has been devoured by the Dreadbeast." β
"There is no second person!"
Keane shook his head violently, his mind breaking down in a loud emphasis.
At this time, due to the strong stimulus, he appeared to be logically confused, and his IQ was greatly reduced, completely ignoring the other party's cognitive level beyond the common sense of the natives.
"Listen, whether intentionally or not, the password has been compromised, and that's the truth. β
Ivan grabbed the placket of his clothes, lifted it into the air, and shook it vigorously: "And copying a few high-level fingerprints is not a difficult thing for a dreadbeast that can mimic at the cellular level." β
"Stop, stop!"
Keane's brain hurt from his shaking, and he quickly reached out and pushed, and actually broke free from Ivan's grip.
After regaining his freedom and falling back to the ground, the person in charge of this consortium branch finally calmed down a little, reached out and knocked on his head to help him organize his thoughts, and then gritted his teeth and snorted coldly:
"The defense system in the fortress is against ordinary invaders, and it can't hurt mechanics...... As long as its location can be determined, security can quickly clear it. β
"Location......
Ivan was about to speak, when the lights in the passage flickered for a while, and then went out at the same time, and his eyes suddenly became dark.
It seems that the power supply facilities have been forcibly cut off, only to be completely dark inside and outside the isolation area, as if trapped in a top-secret space. The air purification equipment also lost its effect, causing the survivors to feel unbearably hot, and the smell of burnt smell became stronger and stronger, wandering in the space, teaching everyone to feel as if entering a long-abandoned meat storage room, there was an indescribable discomfort.
At the same time, Ivan suddenly felt an extremely strong nightmare aura, erupting from a certain position at the highest point of the space fortress, as fierce as boiling oil, as if he was fighting against some powerful enemy.
"I found it!"
He immediately told Keane about the situation.
"Patick, Roger!"
The person in charge looked stunned, and immediately called out the name of the bodyguard.
With his shout, dozens of corpse pieces on the floor suddenly wriggled in unison, they melted like wax, and then disintegrated into a liquid metal like mercury, and the living creatures quickly rolled and absorbed each other, condensing into two spherical wholes.
Gollum β Gollum ββ!
The two clusters of liquid metal with a mercury texture absorbed the converging metal droplets and quickly rose upward, and as they writhed, the silhouette of a human figure quickly emerged, and they quickly recovered into two tall bodyguards dressed in black metal armor.
"Liquid metal robots!?" Evan was dumbfounded.
"It's a mechanic!"
Keane glanced at him in surprise, as if he didn't understand how a feudal native could understand the concept of a robot, and he didn't think much about it when the situation was urgent, and explained quickly:
"All mechanics are semi-inorganic individuals, able to switch between organic and inorganic matter at will. Take them to find the Dreadbeast and resolve the crisis facing the fortress as soon as possible. β
"Leave it to me!"
Naturally, Ivan would not refuse, and waved his hand at the two 'liquid metal robots':
"Come with me, lead the way!"
......
Led by two mechanics, Evan took the elevator directly and broke through the defense network without danger, and quickly arrived at the source of the nightmare breath - the third test area on the top floor of the space fortress.
In contrast to the previous quarantine area, the unlit test area is still illuminated by a glass curtain wall β the clear moonlight penetrates through the layers of glass, illuminating the space clearly and clearly, except for the dead corners of the wall and the partially closed hatches. Including the naked human corpses soaked in the columnar sink, as well as the notes and labels on them, became clear.
The moon was as clean as a wash, but it was powerless to wash away the turbidity in the air, let alone the miserable atmosphere in the test area. The quiet light shone on the columnar sink, making the corpses soaked in the unknown solution more distinct, and instead adding a bit of fierceness and hideousness!
Boom Boom Boom Boom ββ!
The space was filled with a series of explosions, and two huge figures could be vaguely seen colliding with each other in the firelight, interweaving patches of dim and blurred afterimages, and the cold roar unique to the dreadbeast rose with the shock wave around the test area.
Bangββ!
With another collision of light and shadow, half of the body of one of the figures was directly shattered, countless metal fragments were thrown out like grains of sand, and a large number of delicate miniature parts could be faintly seen.
"You're the Inquisitor!?"
At this moment, a grand hoarse male voice echoed from the sky above the cruise ship.
The figure of the victor froze in front of Evan, and suddenly appeared in front of Evanβit was a carapace-like exoskeleton and humanoid dreadbeast, with horns on its head curved towards the middle, a cross-shaped golden glowing crystal on its face, and a raised black arm with a sickle-like bone blade. A pair of bony wings grew on the back, and the exoskeleton on the shoulder stood upside down like a crab claw, and the whole body exuded a cold glow with a metallic texture.
"Hikari, did you see that!?"
The moment it saw its mortal enemy, the dreadbeast strangely did not attack immediately, but waved its finger at the rows of columnar sinks soaked in human corpses, and spat out cold words with a metallic trill:
"These people are all believers in the light, but the light has not been able to save them, they can only be soaked in amniotic fluid all day long, and endure endless pain and despair! You high gods of light, in the face of a real strong enemy, can only cowardly wag your tail and beg for mercy! Only emptiness and darkness can save this world!!"
"What!?"
Ivan raised his vigilance, his gaze swept to the rows of transparent columnar sinks, and suddenly changed color:
"You mean, these corpses are Menes!?"
