Chapter 48: The Price of Evolution (Part II)
The soldiers were stared at by the strange eyes of the giant snake, and it was not until the giant snake had disappeared at the turn of the passage that Battalion Commander Li remembered to ask the soldiers to clean up the battlefield.
"Battalion commander, that thing...... It seems that it was also made by humans. Company Commander Hao had a shocked look on his face, and his tone was bumpy.
"yes. What kind of human beings are willing to make themselves like this? It's crazy what kind of courage it takes to be the same person. Battalion Commander Li sighed incomparably, he seemed to have collapsed, sat down slowly against the wall, took out two cigarettes from his arms, and gave one to Company Commander Hao.
Lin Huoxiao and his entourage of scientists followed Mr. Guo to the scene of Area 16 on the negative third floor, and everyone quickly put on yellow isolation suits, "Bring the instrument and follow me!" Teacher Guo rushed to the front of the team, but was dragged by Battalion Commander Li, who suddenly stood up.
Battalion Commander Li looked at Mr. Guo behind the isolation suit with disdain, "What's the matter, it's safe, so come over quickly?" ”
"No, Battalion Commander Li, don't get me wrong, now is not the time to be angry, please let go, this experimental subject is very, very important to us." Teacher Guo was very anxious, but his tone was very pertinent, Lin Huoxiao heard Teacher Guo speak to someone in such a tone for the first time, it was a little incredible.
Mr. Guo didn't intend to continue to entangle with Battalion Commander Li, and was about to flash past Battalion Commander Li's side, but was pushed back by Commander Hao, who suddenly appeared behind him.
"What test subject? How did everything become your test subject?! Crazy you guys! Company Commander Hao's voice was as harsh as metal.
"Two of you, and one of them is almost on the surface, can you help that one?" Mr. Guo hurriedly changed the topic, he didn't know what to call the giant snake, so he gestured a long bar with his hand.
"You don't have to worry about that one, the unit has already sent four special reconnaissance companies, and the regiment commander personally commands it, so it's foolproof. However, I must tell you that Chen De is our comrade-in-arms, our comrade and brother! He has died a heroic death because of the catastrophe that you ****** scientists have concocted, and I will never allow you to desecrate his body again! Battalion Commander Li's voice was sonorous and powerful.
"No, no, no, he's not your comrade-in-arms anymore." Teacher Guo excitedly pulled off the isolation mask, his shiny bald head was covered with sweat, "The moment his body mutated, he was no longer a human." As human beings, we honor Him for sacrificing his life for his country and dying a well-deserved death. But as a monster, humans have to study it! You know, the world really needs to evolve, why there is genetic engineering, as a special forces battalion commander, I'm sure you know why. ”
Teacher Guo swallowed his saliva, his eyes burned, "As a race that is about to become extinct, now we can only try our best to give human beings a chance to be reborn, and force the weak flesh of human beings to be strengthened, which is bound to fail, no one can predict the consequences of failure, that is the technology that human beings have not yet mastered, that is the right that the Creator has not given us!"
Everyone is a person of flesh and blood and thoughts, and when something like this happens, my heart is also dripping blood! But is there a way? If I don't do it, someone else will do it! Now there is simply no time to add more personal feelings, and even if I allow it, the state will not allow it! How many pairs of eyes are staring at us all the time, and how much pressure I am under, do you understand? Mr. Guo pointed to his bright bald head, his voice was a little hoarse, his emotions were excited, and the green tendons on his forehead rose.
"Do you really think we're willing to deal with these things every day?" Teacher Guo pointed to the monster corpses in the mess in the distance, "I'm about to become a ghost, do you know?" I spend far more time with them than with living people! Several psychiatrists are urging me to have more contact with living people, and I feel like I'm about to get out of this living society! But can I do it? Mr. Guo's eyes were bloodshot.
Lin Huoxiao was suffocated in his heart, Mr. Guo's words, he had considered it once upon a time, but it was not as profound as what Mr. Guo said. People are group creatures, and if they really want to break away from this group, Lin Huoxiao believes that Mr. Guo has no way to continue to live, and his demonic barrier-like psychological barrier will swallow him in an instant and kill him.
"Hmph, are you really as great as you say?" Company Commander Hao sneered on the side, he pointed to the end of the passage, "Just that snake just now, no, it shouldn't be called a snake, who knows what kind of monster it is." As for that monster, I'm sure he still has the human mind, right? If you scientists were as fragile as you say, wouldn't the monster have lost their minds and killed everyone sooner? ”
"That's completely different, completely different!" Teacher Guo suddenly jumped like thunder and pushed it towards Company Commander Hao, but how could a special forces soldier with a quick hand easily let ordinary people touch it, and at the same time as he turned sideways in an instant, Company Commander Hao had already punched Teacher Guo in the abdomen.
There was a muffled bang, and Mr. Guo slumped backwards with a painful cry, and Lin Huoxiao hurriedly supported him from behind.
"Company Commander Hao!" Battalion Commander Li snorted in a slightly reproachful tone, but gave a thumbs up behind his back.
"You, you ......" Teacher Guo was really pounded by this punch, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and a scientist trembled and pointed his finger at a team of soldiers in front of him who were not kind to their eyes. This ****** scientific disaster caused the soldiers to lose 9 comrades who were born and died, and although it was Buckflot's fault in the final analysis, Mr. Guo's behavior still made everyone a little angry. But Lin Huoxiao felt that these soldiers were excessive, different angles, different positions, only the parties concerned could understand the pressure brought by their duties, in fact, no one was qualified to comment on what others did.
"Lao Li, where is it? Come to the ground right now! Battalion Commander Li's communicator suddenly sounded a calm and undoubted male voice.
"Commander, what's the situation above? Can you control it? Battalion Commander Li asked anxiously.
"Well, that monster is surrounded by us. Four helicopters are tracking it, and it's the spy in its arms, right? ”
"Yes, Commander, it's him!" At the mention of him, Battalion Commander Li gritted his teeth.
"That monster let the on-board machine gun shoot off an arm, and it hasn't even fallen down, it's too tenacious!" The regiment leader's voice was a little moved, "Bring that group of sub-scientists up, this incident has alarmed many big people, and all of them hurried up." ”
"Commander, the corpse of Chen De ......"
"Just give it to them to study!"
"Yes!"
Under Mr. Guo's excited order, the scientists quickly sealed Chen De's mutated body and dissolved the medicine, and Mr. Guo carefully placed Chen De's body behind the laboratory, and then followed the troops to the surface. The regiment commander had already urged twice, and Battalion Commander Li also frowned and scolded him for not knowing the severity, but Lin Huoxiao found that Teacher Guo had become very strange, he didn't seem to hear any sound, and he seemed to have put all his mind into the corpse, which made Lin Huoxiao feel strange.
It was nearly late at night, and the sky was covered with black clouds, and strange orange and white lightning flashed intermittently.
Four helicopters with super-powerful searchlights roared over the base, all with their searchlights in focus. In the place where the white light converged, a giant turquoise snake as powerful as a mythical dragon was entrenched next to a car that had been severely deformed, the body of the giant snake was at least ten meters up, and it looked down condescendingly with two snake eyes shining green light, and the monster that had lost one arm and half of its shoulder was torn off.
There are many strange wounds on the back and abdomen of the big snake with black smoke. Underground, on the car, there were splashes of red blood everywhere, and they were reflected in everyone's eyes under the illumination of four high-strength searchlights, and Lin Huoxiao was only so shocked that his scalp was numb and trembling. He had already seen this monster in the underground laboratory of Camp Convis, but if it was compared to the current one, it was no different from a rabbit.
"Listen, no matter where you're from, no matter who you are, there's no way you can get out of here today." The big snake opened its mouth, and the word "who" was said very seriously, as if it was verifying, and as if admonishing.
Vomit......
The monster's roar was as unpleasant as a leaky ball, and it panted feebly like a fish out of water, still clutching the dead Buckfolo in its intact arms. Under the gaze of the emerald serpent, the heavily armed warriors cautiously approached it. The invisible and strong body of the monster opened everyone's eyes, and the head of the regiment has been lamenting that he has really rediscovered science. However, the psychological oppression brought by this powerful unknown species and the fear of the unknown still make many people's legs weak in horror.
"Captain, Commander, hello!" Teacher Guo panted and ran to the side of the regiment leader. The regimental leader, surnamed Cao, looked to be in his forties, with full cheeks and bright eyes.
"Mr. Guo, I finally saw you." The head of the regiment turned his head sideways and ran out when he saw that Mr. Guo was still wearing an isolation suit, and quickly reached out and shook Mr. Guo.
"Captain Cao, you must think of a way, you must capture this thing alive, it is too important for our research, too important!"
"I want to help you too, but the key is to see if it will resist. We can't be 100% sure that we can capture it alive, but we can kill it. ”
"No, no, no, even if you are only one percent sure, you must be captured alive!" Lin Huoxiao, who was standing next to Teacher Guo, felt that it was very likely that Teacher Guo would not be able to hold himself and rush over to pounce on the monster.
The warriors who had approached had tied up the monster with a special metal mesh, but due to the monster's huge size, its intact arm could not be tucked into the metal mesh. A curious warrior's eyes widened and he carefully observed the monster's transparent skin, the surface of which seemed to be a layer of electronic screen attached to the surface, and when you looked closely with the naked eye, you would find that there were occasional electronic star flashes on this huge concave and convex screen.
The man who was crushed under the monster was also dragged out, and he had turned into a puddle of rotten meat. One of the warriors ripped off the battle mask from his rotten flesh head was none other than Buckfloo, his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth covered in blackened blood, apparently dead for a short time.
Several researchers injected the monster with a large number of powerful sedatives and muscle relaxants, and at the urging of Mr. Guo's distorted voice with excitement, the warriors placed the monster into a huge disc-shaped metal box.
Seeing that the matter was over, the emerald serpent, which had been watching all this, slowly leaned down and quickly disappeared into the darkness. The searchlights from a helicopter scattered to illuminate it, and the serpent stared up angrily, causing the crew to quickly shift away from the focus of the searchlight. The serpent writhed, and its trembling body quickly vanished. But he didn't know that the military had been monitoring its movements with thermal imaging equipment. However, due to the body temperature of the snake itself, the thermal imaging also lost the position of the giant snake under the negative three layers of the base, and judging from the coordinates alone, the destination of the giant snake is likely to be the ice vault.
Suddenly! The disc metal box that had been lifted by the crane shook violently, and the disgusting voice of the monster slowly turned into a human roar, and in the sharp metal tearing sound, the words "I want you to die" kept repeating and intensifying! The thick metal box was torn open by two bloody giant claws from the crack, and the bloody monster crawled out trembling and twitching as if it had taken a stimulant!
Its shoulders actually grow!
How can it be! Its right arm, which had been blown off, had grown again in just a few minutes!!
