Chapter 66: Artificial Monsters

A genuine monster was wading through the green water from a distance and approaching several people, and from every point of view, this unknown creature was fully worthy of the description of a monster.

As it approached, the trio could hear it

The various meaningless sounds of the heads of the "head", there were angry cries and painful moans, those blood-red twisted limbs waved irregularly and meaninglessly towards the air in all directions, the fingers and nails at the end twitched like twitches.... Because it was soaked in waist-deep green water, it was impossible to see the full extent of its lower body, but from the upper body, it was assumed that its lower body should be wider and longer than its upper body, otherwise it would be difficult to maintain balance with its upper body, which looked like a large spindle-shaped pillar of flesh.

"What the hell? This kind of shape is too much even for mutated creatures, isn't it? It's like skinning the carcasses of various species and sewing them together, and it's kind of melted. Andy felt that the slowly moving monster in front of him made people feel disgusting just by looking at it, and after looking at it a few more times, it was even more painful for the brain, which could simply cause a physiological reaction in people.

"I think I've seen this thing, right over there in New California.... I'm afraid it wasn't caused by radiation mutation, and it wasn't born naturally. As you said, its body looks like it's a complete mix of species, and there's only one possibility, and that's if it's artificial. Mark stared at the monster, which was spitting out its long tongue from several mouths and swallowing it, some green liquid flowing out of those mouths.

Beatrice glanced at the monster twice, and suddenly reacted in a surprise to Andy and Mark.

"Ah Meng! Hello! She strode toward the terrifying-looking monster, which didn't seem to dodge or attack, and stood there and made strange noises as Beatrice walked up to it.

Beatrice reached out and touched it, words in her mouth.

"What? .... Hungry? Andy and Mark stood in the back and watched this scene strangely, and the scene was strangely harmonious after the super mutant and the monster stood together, making it feel like a man was communicating with his dog.....

"I have... Meat... For you to eat. Beatrice barely took some uneaten meat from a small bag on her body, and the monster lowered its head and ate it with a few mouths, but after that it made a strange noise towards Beatrice.

"Ahh Still is.. Hungry? Beatrice rubbed her head with a headache.

"But... I'm out of meat .... The monster turned its head slightly to look at Andy, and then screamed at Beatrice, as if to signal that there was two food on her side.

"Hey! ... Don't you think..."Beatrice stopped in front of it and firmly stopped the monster, the monster screamed in disappointment, and then slowly walked to the body of the huge leech that Mark and Andy had killed before, lowered his head and spit out his slender tongue to tie up the corpse and dragged it to his mouth, and several heads devoured the scorched and soaked in green water.

Andy and Mark slowly and warily walked up to Beatrice, amazed at how friendly she was able to communicate with the unknown monster.

"Do you know what that is, Beatrice?" The two of them watched the monster eat, and the process could be described as miserable, several heads on the monster's body attacked each other in order to grab food, and one dog head even bit the head of a person with a dejected expression next to it, and although everything they ate flowed into one stomach, it seemed that they did not understand it.

Beatrice let out a silly laugh.

"It's Xiao Ah Meng! .... Before.... Beatrice and brother .... Favorite.... Very obedient .... Ha ha! Mark's gaze shifted several times between Beatrice and the monster.

"The monster was a hybrid mutant created by a human using the FEV virus, and while I don't know why different types of FEV mutants can live in harmony with each other, that's the only plausible explanation. The most powerful function of the FEV virus is forced evolution, which randomly mixes a large number of organisms of different species into the virus tank, and the result is probably the hybrid in front of you. Andy looked at the shape of the monster, and couldn't imagine how terrible the creation process of this monster was, some people were thrown into the FEV virus along with various animals, and then the whole body gradually dissolved and merged with other creatures due to the effect of the virus, and the whole process was in a state of complete perceptual clarity, and the physical and psychological pain it suffered must be unimaginable.

"Oh my God, why do you do this, what's the point of making this kind of thing?" He looked at Beatrice, asking for more information.

"Beatrice, you said you used to like that with your brother before... You call it Ah Meng, right? I've heard other super mutants talk about how they used to fight together in an army for an existence called a bishop, and that's true for you, right? Beatrice reacted to this, though she still couldn't say it clearly.

"Bishop .... Oh..... He..... Create everything..... We swear to follow..... God...", the super mutant looked as sad as Blackjack and Jimmy before her, but her emotions were more straightforward.

"God..... God is dead.... No! She suddenly roared angrily, and then howled again, sounding almost wailing, looking at Beatrice, who was gradually losing control of her emotions, Andy persuaded her for a while, and took out the few pieces of meat that were left for her, and after a while, Beatrice finally chewed her food and gradually regained her calm.

Mark saw something swimming in the green water, and after firing a shot, a mutilated dead fish floated up, and the fish was full of all kinds of emblemp creatures.

"Mutated fish, big leech...", he looked at the blood-red monster not far away, the FEV mutant creatures had a strong need for external energy gain.

Along the way, Beatrice ate countless pieces of meat, and her stomach was like a bottomless pit; Of course, when it is excreted, it is even more difficult to make people cover their noses and flee.

The monster in front of him must also need to eat, otherwise it will not survive in the closed 1C, and its food source should be those fish and leeches.

These mutated creatures may have entered here from the outside, and the source is the cracks and holes in the walls and floors, which follow the green water into the interior of 1c, and then become food for the FEV mutant monsters here.

The three of them trudged through waist-deep green water, continuing to move deeper, and soon they saw some three-meter-high cylindrical glass jars, these glass jars were quite large in size, and they didn't know what they contained when they were intact in the past, but now the contents were gone.

There are a lot of complex electronic devices and pipelines around, all connected to those glass jars, which have been decayed by the high humidity environment for a long time, and have been reduced to pure scrap metal.

"This is supposed to be a specially made giant specimen jar." Mark walked over to one of the large jars and saw that there was an opening in the back of the jar that was still open.

"And it was opened by itself after being manipulated, and the contents came out..... Now we know where the monster came to be. An empty and violent scream suddenly came from a corner not far away.

"Whewβ€”β€”β€”β€”" Andy and Mark hurriedly looked at the source of the sound, where a new monster appeared that they had never seen before, this monster was also born a red color, and actually floated in the air without soaking in the green water on the ground.

At the very top of its body is a huge balloon-like organ that seems to float in mid-air thanks to the buoyancy provided by this organ; In the middle of its body is a large vertical one-eyed, and not far below the eye is its mouthparts, a large, round mouth full of fangs, which looks like a large, complex and sharp funnel.

At the bottom were tentacle-like objects, the ends of which were soaked in the green water on the ground, and several of them were still holding fish.

It seems that the monster was concentrating on fishing before being disturbed by a few people, but the visit of Andy and the others made it ecstatic to come over and try the new dishes that had been delivered to the door.

"Little Bubbles, don't!" Beatrice rushed up again to stop the monster, and the monster stopped where it was, stared at the super mutant for a moment, and then began to circle around Beatrice, screaming from its mouth.

Andy looked at the familiar scene in front of him and shook his head, he didn't expect this trip to be so funny.

"I thought there would be a big war, but it seems that thanks to Beatrice, she and these monsters seem to be.... Familiar? Mark doesn't seem so optimistic.

"I suggest you get your weapons in place, this time Beatrice has no meat to take out to feed, and there is no alternative food around, this monster I have seen in New California many years ago. Although it is also a FEV mutant monster, it will not be successfully appeased now, even if it maintains a friendly attitude towards super mutants in the absence of food. Sure enough, as Mark said, the monster floating in mid-air lingered around Beatrice for a while and then became irritable because it didn't get food, and soon after it suddenly flew around Beatrice towards Andy and Mark, and although the body structure of this thing seemed to be quite uncoordinated, it flew at an unusually fast speed.

Soaking in waist-deep green water, the two of them had no way to dodge and fly like this monster, so they had to fire immediately.

The monster's huge mouth rumbled, flicking the tentacles at the end of its body to make a splash to obscure their vision, and then suddenly spat out a tentacle with a cross-shaped end from its mouth.

Mark was confused by the green water, and the plasma pistol in his hand was also misoriented, and the plasma flew out and burned a large hole in a jar, seeing that the predatory tentacle with a claw-like thing at the end was about to grab his face, and several bullets hit the tentacle in time to interrupt his attack.

The monster screamed, turned its head and swept towards Andy with the tentacles under it, only to be surprised by several high-temperature red lasers that hit the one above its head first

"Balloons"; This time it's terrible, the laser seems to have caused some kind of reaction, and the monster in front of him quickly began to expand wildly, and his whole body became more and more red.... Seeing that the situation was not good, Andy and Mark pinched their noses and threw themselves directly into the green water under their waists, and then the monster exploded violently like a balloon that had been blown up.

"Bang β€”β€”β€”β€”!!" A loud bang swept through the entire 1C, and the green water was blown up in waves, and Beatrice didn't even have time to react to what was happening, and was directly pushed against the wall behind him by the shockwave of the explosion.

After a while, Andy and Mark struggled out of the green water, and the monster that had attacked was now gone, leaving some debris scattered all over the surrounding area after the explosion, sticking to it.

"This thing used to be all over the Central Valley of New California...."Mark took off his gas mask, which was already full of water.

"The evil obstacles left behind by those super mutants..... But why is there here.... It seems that the facility we found was involved in some of the projects back then. Perhaps, the research here is also relevant to the bishop's actions. ”
