Chapter 61: The Resurrection of Planarians

Although they regained their senses, the hunger pangs from within their bodies remained.

Therefore, these monsters still have to fight against the instincts of this creature.

Those who were already grief-stricken, just thinking about being able to vomit out the flesh they had eaten, but there were also some monsters, even if they regained their senses, they could not resist the instinctive desire of their bodies, and they knew what the "food" in front of them was, but they still trembled and continued to stretch out their hands.

And they, no longer human, are already complete monsters.

They were greeted only by spears piercing their heads, bullets, wolf claws, or short blades cut out of nowhere.

On the way out, Lu Yuansheng also killed a few hopeless monsters, leaving a few "food" that were not completely dead to resign themselves to fate.

In this short interval, his ears were already filled with the cries and self-reproach of those monsters, and he couldn't help but be infected by this sad atmosphere.

Finally, he stood in the middle of the monsters in the still world, his hands already hanging a little weakly, and he tilted his head slightly with his eyes closed, so as not to let tears fall from the corners of his somewhat moist eyes.

He thought he had forgotten the expression of tears.

But empathy is one of the human abilities after all, and the scene around him reminded him of the tragic scene he saw with his parents in the border port more than ten years ago when he was a child, and the fact that he was starving in a dark basement.

He knew how hard it was to go hungry and how terrible it was for those who were hungry during the war.

But even then, as long as there is the last humanity, they will not use their dearest and loved ones as food!

After adjusting his mood, he deliberately stopped here for a while longer, as if this would allow those dying people to live in the still world for a while longer, so that they could spend a little more time with each other and have a time to say goodbye.

It was the only thing he could do with these mournful statues.

"A-tyste, is this your concert?"

"Is it your art to make fun of the sorrows of these poor people?"

"Artist, are you worthy?"

Lu Yuansheng asked questions again and again towards the dark metal sky, but no one in the still world could respond to him, let alone Atist, who was hiding somewhere.

Although he had heard of Artiste's methods on the secret web, and knew that the other party was a twisted madman who would do anything to complete the task, but after really getting in touch with the other party, he knew that the secret net's evaluation of him was still too soft.

This is a demon in human skin!

He also knew that he couldn't stop yet, and that there might be even more terrifying monsters about to revive underground.

Although he didn't want to believe that there was such a thing as a resurrection, he did not want to believe that everything Artiste did would not be meaningless, so he had to plan for the worst-case scenario.

After diving into the second basement floor, he noticed that there were still living people here, and one after another homemade alcohol lamps lit up the scene around the huge pool. The white-clad researchers, led by an old professor, are gathering in a still world, as if discussing the situation.

However, he chose to go to the lower control center to take a look at the situation first, after all, if that energy center got out of control, it would cause even more damage.

In that control room, the familiar magnetic *** scrambler has turned into countless pieces, like a scattered high-level Rubik's Cube, which can obviously no longer be used. There are also a few researchers here, who seem to be overhauling the energy hub that is no longer reacting.

Lu Yuansheng suddenly appeared beside them, and took advantage of the weapon to ask a few key questions, and only after confirming that this energy source had been completely and safely shut down, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Dongzhou has always taken safety as the first priority in various energy devices, and has arranged a number of cooling termination devices that can still be triggered in time under various conditions, so as to avoid the most dangerous things.

In addition, he also got a off

The old professor above seems to know a lot about the things here, and even this secret control center knows about it.

So when he returned from the still world again, he appeared next to the old professor, and the cold blade in his hand was locked in the throat of the other man.

"I ask, you answer, tell them not to move."

No one knew how the man wearing the panda mask in front of him appeared, and the researchers, who were usually pampered, had never seen so many critical things before today, and they couldn't help but fall into a panic again.

Even the old professor, who was being threatened, could still keep calm, and he shouted several times in succession: "Quiet! Be quiet! You go and do something else, me and this ......."

"Judge."

Lu Yuansheng reported to his family first.

"I'll talk to this Mr. Judge first."

The old professor waved his hand back slightly, signaling the others to leave him alone.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yuansheng didn't embarrass him further, moved the blade and asked:

"Has this planarian been resurrected?"

The old professor breathed a sigh of relief, but only shook his head, "I don't know."

Lu Yuansheng frowned and asked, "You don't know? This is your last experiment, and you've done so many things and now tell me you don't know?"

The old professor turned around and wanted to talk to Lu Yuansheng face to face, but after just one glance at each other, he looked away with some fear, looked down at the floor and replied:

"We're not that crazy, and the final experiment wasn't to resurrect this monster."

"We just want to...... Exploring the limits of the capabilities of biological cells, even though this includes the resurrection of dead cells, can bring an organism back to life directly, which is not our goal at this stage."

This last sentence also seems to imply that they have plans to resurrect a living organism in the future.

Lu Yuansheng grabbed the other party's collar with one hand, and continued to say coldly, "I don't care what you have to do, now tell me how to let this monster continue to die!"

"Add more highly toxic substances to the pool water, or increase the osmotic pressure of the water body...... This should limit the living environment of planarians, but ...... I'm not sure that what we expected is going to be, and we don't know what will happen in the end."

"Then do it! What were you doing?"

Lu Yuansheng roared.

"I...... We're just curious."

Although the old professor and the others had a plan, the spirit of exploration as scientific researchers made them a little curious about whether this planarian could really come back to life, so they all surrounded the water's edge with alcohol lamps to see if there was any movement under the water.

In their cognition, even if the planarian partially survived, as long as some highly toxic drugs were added to the water in time, this simple creature should not cause any harm.

"Curious? Don't tell me you don't know the consequences of bringing this thing back to life, and you researchers just let this monster come back to life out of curiosity? In your eyes, is human life worthless? It's all just experiments?"

Lu Yuansheng once again put the blade on the old professor's neck, and pulled the other party's collar with his other hand to leave the water's edge, while continuing to roar for the other researchers to quickly add something to the water.

"No, no, no...... We're all here for humanity...... If our experiment succeeds...... That's definitely something that can change the fate of humanity......

The old professor wanted to defend himself while being pulled, but Lu Yuansheng didn't want to understand what historical significance this could have, he only knew that it was impossible for Artiste to do something unprepared, and any hesitation could cause irreparable consequences.

"Shut up, I'll ask you for now."

"What disease do those polluters have?"

Pulling the old professor aside, Lu Yuansheng asked another question in a voice that only the other party could hear

Title.

"This ......"

The old professor wanted to say something and stopped, these are all confidential matters.

"If you don't know what's going on above, then I can tell you that those polluters have gone from being humans, and all of them have become inhuman monsters! What the hell is going on?"

"Impossible! Their genetic status is obviously stable, unless they are once again stimulated by the same inexplicable stimulation as they were back then......

Halfway through his words, the old professor realized that he had missed something in his desperation.

"Not a disease? What stimulus? What happened back then?"

Lu Yuansheng grabbed the other party's collar tightly, and the mask on his face was almost attached to the other party's face.

At that moment, a researcher who had just poured a bucket of chemicals into the pool screamed, and he was dragged into the water by a transparent tentacle, which then gurgled and sinked into the water before sinking completely.

Lu Yuansheng was shocked, and quickly let go of the old professor and looked towards the long pool outside.

The few researchers around who had narrowly escaped had collapsed to the ground, shrinking back and forth as they shivered and pointed to the clear pool of water, where they had just clearly seen what was sticking out.

However, the pool of clear water on the surface had gradually calmed down under the light of the alcohol lamp, and if it weren't for the slowly spreading redness, it would have been as if nothing had happened.

"Pump! Can you pump water?"

Lu Yuansheng shouted, he was a little anxious just now, and he just listened to the old professor's words, and he should have thought of pumping all the water out of the first step.

Some researchers listened to his words and immediately stumbled to the water valve control room, wanting to operate as Lu Yuansheng said.

However, there is no need for ...... It's too late.

Because the pool of clear water had gradually diffused after engulfing a new sacrifice, the crude alcohol lamps by the pool were suddenly submerged and overturned, making the light of the entire floor of the space suddenly dimmed.

A huge long transparent body moved in the pool, and nearly a thousand meters of body wriggled out of the primitive corpse at the bottom of the pool, splashing a large splash of water.

But after the splash of water, it did not disperse like a liquid, but was connected by a transparent tentacle-like object, slowly sticking to the ground and wriggling, and new transparent tentacles extended from it, as if searching for food.

As soon as they come into contact with any organism or nutrients, they will immediately turn into a viscous net to wrap them around them, and then wait for their huge bodies that have just crawled out of the pool to come and eat.

This giant planarian, like the polluters who have fallen into madness, has also violently consumed a lot of energy due to the mutation of its body, and the primitive corpse and the newly added meat are only enough to meet the basic needs of its evolution. At this time, it also feels deep hunger and just wants to find more nutrients to eat.

As its body crawled out of the pool, stretching its flattened body further, it was only when one could see that the pool of water had almost dried up.

It turns out that most of the clear water in the pool has become part of the planarian's new body at some point.

Thankfully, the huge body moved slowly, only shrithing in a shrunken manner, giving the people farther away enough time to escape the place.

But those who were splashed directly by the water were not so lucky, and their crying and struggle only allowed the viscous liquid to bind them tighter and tighter, until the main body of the planarian stretched out and crushed it, and they were also swallowed into the planarian's body through its soft surface, and finally dissolved into a puddle of blood mist with great speed.

"Go, go! Leave nothing at all!"

Lu Yuansheng watched this transparent and flat monster stretch out countless transparent tentacles and squirm its body, and immediately shouted at them to evacuate quickly.

And he didn't plan to save the unlucky ones who were bound without knowing anything, or he didn't want to have any direct contact with this weird planarian.

He hurriedly pulled the old professor and ran to a safer place, and then

Then he pulled the other party's collar with one hand, and pointed at the slow-moving planarian with the other, and said angrily:

"You take a good look at what you've done? You have time to stop this!"

"I'm telling you, now is not the time to care about secrecy, I need to know what happened to the polluters and this planarian, and why they are like this! And what kind of research have you done?"

Lu Yuansheng faced this huge monster, he didn't dare to step forward recklessly when everything was still unknown, he needed to know more things.

"I ......"

But at this point, the old professor was still a little hesitant.

"Smack!"

Lu Yuansheng slapped the other party in the face loudly.

"I tell you, don't expect anyone to save you, you can go out and see what's going on outside, those troops can't even save themselves."

"If you still have any sense of responsibility, make it clear to me, now I am the only one who can deal with that monster and save you!"

The old professor was beaten, his mouth trembled, and finally he said:

"Planarians, and those people...... They were just genetically altered in a way we didn't know about until now...... Probably unknown biological weapons. And our final experiment...... In fact, I want to reproduce this method of altering the genes of organisms, so as to find more ways to use it and treat it......

"So, you're keeping them here on the pretext that they're sick just to research unknown biological weapons?"

The old professor nodded silently, and quickly added: "The whole world is doing this, and if we don't study, we will fall behind!"

Lu Yuansheng breathed tightly, and finally endured his anger and asked:

"Tell me, what are the weaknesses of this monster?"

"In the past, we were able to kill it with enough poison potions, but now I'm not sure because of the planarian appearance...... It's not the same as what I saw back then!"

"However, make sure it has the ability to split and regenerate! It was originally able to grow so big because of the changes in its genes, it could not divide and regenerate, and could only grow indefinitely. In case of...... Now that he has that ability again, the consequences are unimaginable."

Lu Yuansheng closed his eyes and let out a long breath, but in the end, he still didn't ask for any news that could effectively solve this situation.

He let go of his hand and said, "Let's go, take a good look at the situation outside."

"If you still have some conscience, think about how to save them, how to deal with this huge monster."

"The polluters out there aren't your test subjects, they're not monsters, they're just ugly-looking humans."
