Chapter 3 Carbon-based organisms rich in high protein
Yi Nanping's subordinates were full of disbelief.
"Lieutenant Yi, these tentacle monsters are obviously 'relict species' that can infect parasitic humans! - When will they be killed by bullets?! ”
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi, didn't it say above that when you encounter a special creature related to the 'relic', you must call for support from your superiors, and a strong person with high genetic evolution level will take action?"
Yi Nanping remembered the painful experience of fighting with these "relics" with mental strength last time, rubbed his nose with his hand, and said dissatisfiedly: "You are not an analyzer, how can you conclude that you were killed by bullets?" ”
"A group went in and searched the equipment to make sure there were any surviving remnants."
"The second group conducts an ordnance inspection to see if they can find who is making the shot."
He gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi!"
These people are the regular army in Ye Shijie's mouth.
Just the few large bomb-mounted drones that surrounded the six-story building, I knew that the instruments and equipment of these people were obviously much stronger than Ye Shijie and other hunters.
Under Yi Nanping's order, a group wearing black protective clothing entered the house with instruments.
The second group, dressed in camouflage uniforms, carried instruments to test the remnants of ordnance in the open space in front of the building.
Five minutes later, a group of members came out of the room, gesticulating, "Lieutenant Yi, it's all checked." There were only four traffickers left in the house, all of whom were fatally shot with no traces. There were also 23 abducted victims, all of whom died, and none of them were infected. ”
Yi Nanping frowned, walked to the human skin on the ground, and wondered, "Could this be the only one who has been planted?" - It's a pity, it's like this. ”
A group of members dressed in black hazmat suits bent down and put away the sieve-beaten human skin as important evidence.
Another ordnance testing technician said to Yi Nanping: "Captain, after testing, the bullet casings on the ground are all No. 085 and No. 093 bullets produced by Zong's military industry this year. In addition to equipping the army, these two types of ammunition are only a few organizations in the country that can be legally purchased. ”
Yi Nanping sneered: "We, the Beichen Empire, control guns, but not bullets. - Zong's military industry's bullets, that is, you can buy them with money, how can there be a question of legality or illegality? ”
His men were silenced, and they were used to it.
Yi Nanping squatted down and stared at the thickest tentacle left in the middle of the bullet casings all over the ground.
The tentacle was charred by the gunpowder of the bullet, like a burnt octopus leg, but it was much larger, a burnt geoduck octopus leg.
His eyes were sharp, staring closely at the tentacles, as if he wanted to use his gaze as an analyzer to analyze the structure of the tentacles.
He did use psychic probes, but found nothing.
The tentacle stump burned by the ammunition was so dead that it was no longer dead, and its physical structure at this time was no different from that of seafood that humans used for food.
The only conclusion that can be concluded is that they are all carbon-based organisms, which are also high in protein.
Yi Nan got up slowly, frowned, and said, "Aren't there any living tentacles?" ”
He still had a glimmer of hope, because based on their previous experience, the tentacles generated by these relics were very tenacious, and even if only a small piece of cell tissue remained, they could regenerate.
However, the results of this survey do not support this conclusion.
“…… Report to the Captain, confirm that none of them are alive and that they are all cell-level dead. ”
"It's a pity." Yi Nanping sighed again.
His subordinate took the translucent evidence bag and put the charred tentacles inside, saying, "In recent years, there have been three incidents of tentacle monsters hurting people. ”
"Every time, no one can hit them with conventional weapons, because their mental power attacks are extremely strong and weird, even if the level is low, but for us humans, even if the spiritual power is strong at the peak of the C rank, they can't resist, and of course they can't fight back with conventional weapons."
"If the results of this test can prove that they were indeed killed by conventional weapons, it is very exciting news."
"That's right, the previous few times, only once was Lieutenant Yi grabbed a tentacle and lived for about a week, and now he only gets the word 'relic' from it."
"This time the tentacle monster is stronger than the previous times, but they were all killed, it's a pity."
Yi Nanping looked up at the night sky with his hands behind his back and muttered, "It would be better if we came a minute earlier...... Come a minute early, and you'll get at least a live tentacle monster. ”
"Or you can also know who is so ferocious that you can use conventional weapons to destroy the relics that require high-level spiritual power to destroy them like seafood......"
When his subordinates heard the word "seafood", the expressions on their faces were suddenly weird, and they felt a sense of grievance that they wanted to vomit but not vomit.
I don't think you want to eat seafood for a long time in the future......
Yi Nanping didn't think about it that much.
With a frown, he walked into the room to probe carefully, and then came out again to look around, taking in the open space in front of the building and the surroundings within a radius of a thousand meters.
The special glasses attached to his helmet are like a high-energy computer, which can record all the surrounding environment and upload it to the cloud mechanical intelligence system for high-energy modeling, so that better data analysis can be carried out.
Then he commanded, "Everything is taken here, including bullet casings and tentacle stumps on the ground. Ask the local corrections department to notify the parents who reported the case to come and claim the deceased victims. The building was locked down, and all the occupants inside had to be moved. ”
He watched his subordinates clean up the mess while waiting for the results of the analysis from the technical department.
Suddenly, the nano-level quantum light brain embedded in the back of Yi Nanping's brain sent out information instructions, which were directly transmitted to his brain through the brain-computer interface.
[Lieutenant Yi Nanping, Group 12, District 3, Mulan City Branch, Special Security Bureau, please go to the safe house at No. 244, District 8, the same city, to accept inquiries from superiors].
The electronic sound simulated by the quantum light brain repeated the message three times before stopping.
Yi Nanping responded with a "yes" in his mind.
He quietly came to a small combat aircraft and ordered: "I have to leave beforehand, you guys deal with it and send me a message." Remember that this place has to be blocked. ”
"Yes, Lieutenant Yi."
……
Yi Nanping came to the safe house at No. 244, District 8, Mulan City, which was ordered by his superiors in less than five minutes.
The door was opened by a low-pitched machine butler.
It is not humanoid, but a cylindrical mechanical body with four robotic arms and a circular mechanical chassis to act as a moving tool.
Yi Nanping walked in, and the door closed automatically with a bang.
It was originally an ordinary family house, but after the door closed, the room changed into a small conference room.
Yi Nanping knew that this was actually a three-dimensional holographic projection technology, but it was too realistic, and it looked the same as the real thing.
A man wearing a dark gray silver-trimmed military uniform sat at the conference table with a serious expression, staring at Yi Nanping, who had gone to the scene today.
Under the military hat of the same color as the uniform, his appearance is so handsome that he is even a little feminine, but his eyes are slightly stressed, and he is not good at first glance.
The man first introduced himself and said, "I am Zong Ruoan, Colonel of the Information Department of the Headquarters of the Special Security Bureau, and I just got the data you uploaded, and I want to confirm some news with you." ”
Yi Nan gave a parallel military salute: "Yes, Colonel Zong." ”
"You are Lieutenant Yi Nanping of Group 12 of the 3rd District of the Special Security Bureau in Mulan City?"
"Yes."
"Lieutenant Yi, first of all, where did you get the news today that you found out that there is a relic in Mulan City? Secondly, why did you not capture the relics alive this time, but instead killed all the relics? ”
Yi Nanping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Colonel Zong, I am also very puzzled about this matter, I think it is very strange. ”
"Say."
"At 1:15 a.m., we received news from the local correctional department in Mulan City that there was a 'relic' in our jurisdiction."
"Based on past experience, the local disciplinary department cannot handle cases related to 'relict seeds', and the elite team of the Special Security Bureau must dispatch the mentally strong among the genetic evolutionaries."
"I once handled a case related to the 'relic', and I was closest to the place where the 'relic' appeared, so I was notified to be there as soon as possible."
"We arrived at the scene at 1:45 a.m., and we could have arrived 10 minutes early, but we were stopped by our superiors and waited in place for 10 minutes."
Hearing this, Zong Ruoan nodded, and said calmly: "Well, I know about the stop, it's not your fault. ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the three-dimensional holographic projection in front of him changed, and three different scenes appeared.
Although the time and place are different, all three scenes are the same bloody horror.
Zong Ruoan tapped his fingers, pointed to the first scene, and said, "This is a rare creature 'relic' that has only appeared in recent years. ”
"This creature is very difficult to deal with, and if it appears, it can cause widespread casualties."
"It appeared for the first time three years ago, infecting and devouring more than 300 people from a commercial company in the middle of Mulan City."
"It appeared for the second time two years ago, and the infection in the East Side engulfed the entire floor of a residential unit, totaling more than five hundred people."
"It appeared for the third time a year ago, and this time everyone was prepared, it happened to meet you on a mission, and was captured alive by you after being infected and devouring eighteen people, and then survived for a week, during which time we only heard the term 'relic' from it."
"This is the fourth time this year."
Yi Nanping stood up straight and said solemnly, "Yes, Colonel Zong." According to our experience in the first three times, although the spiritual power level of this rare creature is not high, it has a very strong ability to infect, as long as a little microcellular tissue, it can survive and infect the organism, and absorb nutrients from the host to grow rapidly. ”
"And their psychic power is very peculiar, not high-level, but extremely penetrating, almost completely ignoring any defenses, and pointing directly at the brain's action control system."
"So if you encounter it, even if you are genetically evolved, you can't subdue them by force, because they will be mentally controlled and can't operate weapons, which is why conventional weapons never work."
"And their mode of reproduction is split reproduction, and we judge that conventional weapons do not work, because conventional weapons simply do not have time to kill all the tentacles at once."
"Therefore, it is necessary for a strong person with a high level of genetic evolution to fight back in a crushing way, so as to completely eliminate all the infected remnants at one time, and prevent it from continuing to divide and reproduce."
Of course, after today, their judgment needs to be revised.
It is possible that conventional weapons will still work.
Yi Nanping thought silently in his heart.
Zong Ruoan folded his arms, narrowed his deep dark eyes slightly, and said thoughtfully: "Lieutenant Yi is a genetic evolutionary at the peak of the B-level spiritual power, and you happened to be at the scene when it appeared for the third time, and captured a relic alive. - Now to answer my second question, why did you not capture them alive this time, but killed all the remnants? ”
The corners of Yi Nanping's mouth twitched, and he said with a wry smile: "Colonel Zong, this time, it actually has nothing to do with me. ”
"By the time we arrived, the tentacle remnants were physically dead."
Zong Ruoan asked solemnly: "Really? So who killed them? In Mulan City, is there anyone with more powerful mental power than you, Lieutenant Yi? ”
Yi Nanping was speechless for a while.
To be honest, he couldn't figure it out either.
Although Mulan City is a big city, it is only one of the most remote cities on the Guiyuan Star in the Beichen Empire's star domain, and its population is not small, but it can only rank at the bottom of the list of big cities in the entire Beichen Empire.
In this kind of place, he, a genetic evolutionary at the peak of B-level spiritual power, is already a ceiling-level powerhouse.
He couldn't think of anyone else here who was higher in rank than him.
While he was silent, Zong Ruoan continued to ask thoughtfully: "The relict seeds that appeared a few times ago, the highest level is only to the peak of D-rank, so you can completely crush them. Based on past experience, humans need two levels of spiritual power to completely suppress the relict species and kill them. ”
"Judging from the data uploaded so far, the spiritual power of this wave of relics should have reached the peak of C-level. - The relics of this level must have a strong person with the peak of spiritual power A-level to crush and kill them. ”
"So you tell me, on the most remote planet of the empire, Guiyuan Star, why is there a powerhouse with the peak of spiritual power A-level? Still outside the management of our Special Security Bureau? ”
The peak of spiritual power is A-level, which is even more terrifying than Yi Nanping, a powerhouse at the "ceiling level" of Mulan City.
In the entire Beichen Empire, the peak of spiritual power A-level is also a powerhouse in the first echelon, and ninety-nine percent of them are stationed in the capital of the empire, Beichen Star.
As Zong Ruo'an's words fell, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
After a long while, Yi Nanping said with a little bitterness: "Colonel Zong, in fact, there may be other organizations with strong spiritual power appearing in Mulan City. We just don't know. ”
"For example?"
"If nothing else, at least there are strong people in the Night Hunters Association." Yi Nanping was a little unwilling, but shook his head helplessly, "I actually very much suspect that the one who shot before us was the members of the Night Hunters Association stationed in Mulan City. ”
