Chapter 10: Devouring

Judas rolled out of bed at the sound, and his muscles throbbed as if his whole body was covered with a layer of living armor.

"It may be that Subject 22 is rioting again." Red Lotus looked bored, as if she was complaining to Judas about the incompetence of her men.

"Take me to see it." There was a wistful look of longing on Judas's face.

"Subject 22 has heard of it for a long time, but I can't touch it until the project starts, so I haven't had a chance to appreciate it."

Judas stretched out her scarlet tongue and licked her lips, motioning for Red Lotus to lead the way.

"Previously, the organization didn't let you come into contact with Subject 22 because it was worried that it would contaminate your noble genes, but now that you have been modified by the first generation of the king-level virus, and your current physical condition is stable, there should be no problem in contacting Subject 22."

Between the words, Red Lotus quickened her pace and walked towards the laboratory where No. 22 was held.

Behind him, Judas followed the red lotus unhurriedly, his body naked, his body like an ancient Greek sculpture completely naked, presented in front of every researcher who passed by, but he did not feel the slightest discomfort.

Because since he was conscious, he has been experimenting every day, and his body has long been looked at by the researchers in the basement, so the shame or something naturally does not exist.

"Lu Qian, hasn't he come back yet?" Judas followed behind the Red Lotus and asked a question that had nothing to do with the current circumstances.

Honglian's expression changed slightly when she heard this, but she immediately returned to normal and turned around to answer.

"After Lu Qian was transferred to country M, he has been busy with the cultivation project of experimental subject No. 41, and he can't come back for the time being."

Judas nodded, a faint flash of loss in her eyes, and Red Lotus continued to ask.

"Is Cui Zening not taking good care of you? Do you want me to report the situation to the organization? ”

"It's none of Cui Zening's business, it's that I miss Lu Qian a little......" Judas took a deep breath, as if suppressing the emotions in his heart, and continued to walk forward.

After opening the three protective gates, Red Lotus and Judas finally stood in front of the gate where Subject 22 was being held.

The clash of creature against metal was thunderous by this time, accompanied by the rustle of chains and a shrill whistling, which sounded like birdsong, but it was not pleasant at all, and it was sharp and unsettling.

"Open it."

Judas said lightly, his eyes filled with unusual anticipation and longing, and he could feel that Subject 22 behind the door was afraid of him.

Red Lotus brought her eyes to the iris recognition lock next to the door, and a burst of red light swept through.

With a soft "drop", the heavy metal door slowly opened, and a faint red mist flowed out of the door like flowing water.

It wasn't until the fog cleared that Judas could see the full extent of Experiment 22.

Dozens of heavily armed security personnel are confronting a strange creature in the corner of the lab, armed with a variety of bizarre electronic devices.

It is a spindle-like bird creature covered with blue and red feathers, a beak at the tip of the head in a hook-like shape, and six eyes arranged in a zigzag shape on both sides of the head, making it look a bit like a parrot overall.

But it is much larger than a parrot, the size of an ostrich.

Its neck and claws are firmly locked in by chains the thickness of three baby arms, and its space for movement is extremely limited.

At this time, Subject 22 was staring at Judas and Red Lotus at the door with three eyes on the side of his head, and the feathers all over his body exploded, as if he were facing a great enemy.

"This is a mutant beast that we have cultivated for three years, and it has just been detected that the fluctuation of its life energy has broken through to the second level, and it is a single life form, with no parasitic or symbiotic organisms."

Honglian took the information handed by the researcher on the side and flipped it quickly.

"I can feel it, it's scared."

The corners of Judas's mouth curled into a sneer, staring intently at the parrot mutant beast in front of him, with a greedy look in his eyes.

"I want to eat it!"

After all, Judas could not suppress the restless desire in his heart, spoke his thoughts, and once again stretched out his scarlet tongue and licked his lips.

The researchers present, including the red lotus, were all dumbfounded, and ate it? This is a mutant beast that the organization has spent up to three years cultivating with a secondary virus, and its value is immeasurable.

Although the identity of the Apostle is special, it is too strange to eat Subject 22 as soon as he opens his mouth!

"Wait a minute, I need to ask my superiors for instructions." Red Lotus quickly stabilized her mind and fetched a satellite phone.

"Research Station 22 in N City, Red Lotus." After a short self-report, Red Lotus began a brief elaboration.

She knew in her heart that judging from Judas's previous performance of easily breaking free from the restraints, even if he wanted to forcibly go up and eat this strange beast now, everyone present would not be able to stop him.

Even if it is the self of the physical strengthening system, it can't withstand the slightest.

Judas's request was more like giving herself a face, so she could only do it quickly, trying not to let the situation get out of control as much as possible.

"Well, well, understand, all for the great Raboni!" Red Lotus seemed to have received exact instructions, and hung up the phone in response.

Just as he was about to say something to Judas, he saw Judas dodge and rush towards Subject 22.

"I heard, your head said that everything is according to the will of the apostles, hahahahaha!"

Judas laughed wildly and grabbed Subject 22 by the neck, frantically tearing at the blue-red feathers of Subject 22 like a brown bear.

At this time, Subject 22 twisted violently, flapping the man in front of him with his wings, and biting Judas's wrist with his sharp beak in an attempt to break free of his restraints.

But helplessly, Judas's skin was like copper cast in iron, and it could not be broken at all.

I saw that his five fingers were slowly closed, and a crisp sound of "click" came, and the neck of the parrot beast was actually choked off, and the huge bird's head fell to the side, and there was no movement.

At this time, Judas also plucked the feathers from Subject 22's chest, grinned and bit downward.

The thick smell of blood immediately filled the entire laboratory.

"Gross!"

When a few security personnel with poor psychological quality saw the bloody scene in front of them, they couldn't hold back the tumbling in their stomachs and vomited all of a sudden.

But they were all heavily armed and wearing closed masks on their heads. So the vomit came back from the masks, making them even more nauseous.

"Drag these guys out." Red Lotus still stood in place, staring at Judas, who was biting Subject 22.

Cui Zening heard the movement of the laboratory, hurriedly trotted all the way, and as soon as he arrived at the door of the laboratory, he heard Honglian's order, and he didn't understand what was going on, so he echoed very doggedly.

"Ah yes, quickly drag these out and don't get in the way of the Red Lotus ...... Vomit! ”

Before the word "human" could be spoken, poor Director Cui saw the terrifying scene in front of him.

The strong smell of blood mixed with fear gripped his stomach pouch like a huge hand, and the vomit hit Red Lotus's upright buttocks like a fountain.

"Rubbish!"

This was the last sentence that Director Cui heard before he fell unconscious, because in the next second, a slap slapped heavily on his fragile cheek, and the force was unprecedented.

He could feel another tooth leaving his mouth forever.

After slapping Cui Zening unconscious, Honglian felt that her trembling body from fear seemed to be slightly relieved.

Seeing Judas biting Subject 22 like a beast in front of him, and recalling the scene of him acting furious on the bus on the video two days ago, an inexplicable worry rose from the bottom of his heart again.

"It is still necessary to report the situation of Judah to the organization, and at the same time, the organization should send more people over."

Honglian had already made up her mind, and she didn't bother to clean up the vomit on her trench coat, so she simply ordered her subordinates to take care of the Apostle, and left the laboratory in a hurry.

Watching Honglian leave in a hurry, the security personnel who shrank to the side and didn't dare to move slowly moved their steps and left the laboratory.

One by one, they were cautious, not daring to make a sound, for fear of alarming the apostles, who were eating, and then devouring themselves alive.

"Director Cui? Director Choi? Wake up. A young security guard seemed to be a little unbearable when he saw the thin man on the ground unanswered, so he stepped forward and patted Cui Zening's red and swollen cheek, trying to wake him up.

"Ahh Red, Red Lotus-sama! Cui Zening, who was woken up, suddenly felt a hot pain on his face, and the memories before the coma came to his heart, and he couldn't control his screams for a while.

"Noise!"

Like a lion feasting on its prey, Judas was interrupted by a hyena who had come to steal the food, and looked annoyed, and looked back at the people at the door of the laboratory.

Director Cui, who didn't have time to come to his senses, saw Judas's terrifying appearance of a mouth full of blood and choosing people to devour, he "hiccuped" and passed out again......

In the garbage bin outside the funeral home, J District, N City.

Zhang Ning, who was covered in dirt and smell, crawled out of the garbage can tremblingly, and at this time, the bald man who threw him into the garbage bin had long since disappeared, and only a few ragged zombies were left on the street wandering aimlessly.

"Phew!" Spit out the banana peel in his mouth and slapped the dirt on his body at random.

Zhang Ning, who was thinking about going home first to see the situation, suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness hit his whole body, and hunger surged like a tide, constantly impacting his fragile nerves.

It was close to dusk, and Zhang Ning didn't know how long he had been in a coma, only that he knew that if he didn't eat something, he might starve to death.

"I have to find something to eat, otherwise I, the protagonist, will starve to death as soon as I appear, which will be too sad."

"I'm on your side, go away, go away."

Pushing away a few zombies who heard the noise, Zhang Ning swaggered into the supermarket on the street.

The once clean and tidy supermarket has long since changed beyond recognition, the floor-to-ceiling glass on the street has been smashed, the shelves are strewn with goods, the wall next to the counter is still a stain of dried blood, and the few remaining lamps still hang on the ceiling emitting a faint light.

At this time, there was naturally no one alive in the supermarket, so Zhang Ning naturally picked up the Coke on the shelf and drank it, but after just a few sips, a feeling of nausea gushed out of his stomach.

"Gross!" The violent vomiting sensation was unprecedented, and Zhang Ning's whole body was out of strength, and he suddenly fell to his knees and retched.

"This, what's going on?" Zhang Ning, who finally came to his senses, looked at the happy water he used to love to drink.

"This smell, how is it the same as horse urine with dish soap, it's wrong, how do I know what horse urine with dish soap smells like......

It was always Zhang Ning's favorite happy water before, but now it can't make him feel happy anymore.

"Forget it, let's drink water, it's the healthiest thing to drink."

casually threw away the coke in his hand, unscrewed the mineral water on the shelf and poured it up, this time there was no nausea, but the hunger still lingered like an appendage.

"Eat, eat." Zhang Ning kept babbling in his mouth, grabbed the ham sausage on the shelf and dismantled it, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he stopped the movement in his hand by surprise.

"Why don't you want to eat it when you smell it?" Zhang Ning stared at the ham sausage in his hand and muttered to himself.

"Forget it, let's find something else."

Putting aside the ham sausage in his hand, Zhang Ning, who was about to look for something else to eat, suddenly smelled a strange fragrance, which made him can't help but walk towards the depths of the supermarket.
