Chapter 68: Centaurs

The subsequent experiments have been transferred all the way to the realm of anti-humanism, and it can be seen that the following experiment log seems to have suddenly changed its style due to some external factors, from a disgusting mass of unformed embryos of dead mutant creatures to a terrifying large corpse, those bloody corpses with broken skin and bulging bones, as if the muscles and muscles inside the body had once come to life.

By around 2076, the number of experiments had increased massively, and there was a steady stream of apparently human experiments.

The people who died in the middle of the mutation were turned into pictures in the terminals, and biological experiments of this scale must have been equipped with crematoriums large enough that the last traces left by these unknown subjects in the world were these ugly pictures in front of them.

The subject's skin became like tanned leather, with a variety of colors, some black, some yellow, and some green; The vertebrae, leg bones, and even the skull struggled to break free from the flesh, and the deformed muscles could no longer wrap around the organs and bones; The bulging eyeballs are full of hideous bloodshots, or completely shriveled off and turn into a black hole.... It wasn't until the end of 2076 that Lab 1C, which had been conducting horrific experiments under immense pressure, finally came up with their final results.

[Project Code: Centaur] [Number of items; 12] [Item Description: After mixing more than three different organisms into the FEV virus tank, we finally got this perfect meeting of the requirements, it is an incomparable deterrent to the enemy in appearance, and it is simple and inexpensive to make, in view of its vigorous appetite and unfussy taste, the species begins to forage endlessly as soon as it is released, and the liquid secreted in its body is extremely acidic and toxic, and has a strong ability to adapt to any harsh environment or disease, Its excreta will cause a high level of pollution to the surrounding environment.

Andy watched as the strangely ugly familiar figure appeared on the terminal, and this photo shows what is called

The full-body appearance of the monster of the "Centaur". Its elongated lower body had three or four pairs of limbs of different species, driving the monster forward in a strange posture, and growing a large number of red tentacles in what should be called the groin, as the monsters here were all immersed in waist-deep green water, and had never noticed such a disgusting detail when they were repelled before.

"So... That's how they were born. Andy felt a little disgusted by the green text that was pulsating in the terminal, and there were many dated experiment logs behind it, but Andy couldn't read it anymore.

Mark maneuvered in front of the terminal for a while, and suddenly found out what was hidden, what looked like some form of personal log.

[Personal Log 1] [I am Dr. Smith Webb, the managing director of Lab 1c, and I am here with three young men in the service of a secret experimental project initiated by the SA Army.

I thought I would never write this in a terminal against the rules of secrecy, and those young people couldn't believe that I would do something I would do that I would berate them all the time for not doing, but.... I'm so tired, I believe that writing a diary can at least relieve a little bit of stress, anyway, with my terminal skills, it is impossible for ordinary people to find these records, at least I don't talk nonsense in a terminal without encryption like those stupid hats.

【Personal Log 2】【It's been a few months since the last time we opened it, and we've continued to experiment, but the biological mutations caused by the FEV virus are really difficult to grasp, and every time we work hard to produce the results, we will die from organ failure, severe abnormal bone growth, or sudden mass death of cells shortly after birth, and even a meaningless lump of flesh from beginning to end.

All those ambitions at the beginning have come to naught, and no one dares to say that we can succeed, and I try to be calm, after all, if even I am depressed, it will be even more impossible for the three boys to maintain a little enthusiasm.....] [Personal Log 3] [Shangfeng finally responded to my report, we need some technical guidance too much, the FEV virus is a hundred times more complicated than I expected, if the four of us continue to blindly grope from scratch like this, I'm afraid that until the destruction of the world, we will not be able to make anything valuable, as the main research and development institution of the FEV virus, Western Science and Technology must have unique insights into this thing, and I believe that those living specimens that are about to be sent will show us the way.

【Personal Log4】【The project is on track, but there is bad news, I heard that there is a laboratory in the capital that is working on the same project as us, they gave up on the development of new species earlier than us, and instead sought to find native species with high adaptability to the FEV virus, and based on this to carry out research on controllable directional mutations, it is said that they are almost on the verge of success.... Naked mole rats?

How the hell did they come up with this thing? It's too late to continue the slow pace of experimentation, and if the internal competition fails, we will be cut in funding and even the entire laboratory will be dismantled, and then all the efforts of the past few years will be in vain, which I cannot accept.

【Personal Log 5】【They agreed to my request for human experimentation indicators, I thought it would be difficult, but it wasn't.

My heart is heavy, for no matter who those subjects have been in the past, they will be subjected to inhumane treatment in this small laboratory.

But I didn't have a choice, it was the only way to catch up in a short period of time. Since it is too late to develop new species and modify native species, it is better to try multi-species mixing, the species with the highest adaptability of FEV virus is human, and mixing other species on a human basis can greatly improve the probability of success.

Once successful, with the use of the biological cloning machine, the species will be able to be mass-produced in a short period of time....] [The eagerness of the boys to try it out was again to my surprise, and I spent a night during which I put aside all the work at hand and concentrated on thinking about how to explain to my guys tomorrow that we were going to start human experiments.

I thought of almost all the possibilities, including that there would be people who would question and oppose it, even scold and want to quit the experiment, and even attack me for it.... But none of that happened, and after a brief moment of surprise, they accepted it, and some looked as if they had been waiting for it for a long time.

[I feel a little dizzy in my brain, I should have been glad that they knew the times, after all, the contract signed with the military was almost a deed of sale, and if they tried to withdraw or obstruct the experiment, the end would be very miserable, and the result could be a secret execution or becoming a member of the test subject.

I'm sure I'll be able to convince them that when they are sent deep into the Hoover Dam, the fate of those subjects is a foregone conclusion, and that even if 1c refuses to test on them, even if I refuse to experiment on them, they will be sent to other people in other labs with a similar fate.

[But they didn't need me to convince them at all, they had reason to convince them to do these dark experiments on their own, and for the first time I felt so alien to the world.

Even though I am not young, I remember when I was in college when my professors taught us that the development of science should not be exchanged for ignoring morality, otherwise it would not lead to the progress of all mankind, but would invite a devastating backlash.

But the young people who have been with me for a few years are not impressed by this, and in their eyes, there is not much difference between experimenting on rats and experimenting with our own kind.

[A lot has changed in society since we started the war with bA, and I've been obsessed with scientific research and have no time to think about it, and now I think about it that there are too many important things I don't see, and SA is becoming more and more terrifying.

When I think back to the fact that science has become a tool for politicians and soldiers, and that the fresh blood of the scientific research community has been taught to look like this, I only feel a chill down my back when I look at the young people talking and laughing in front of the distorted corpses of the test subjects.

I'm afraid that if necessary, even if the people lying there become me, they won't feel the slightest bit of sadness.

【Personal Log 6】【Success, stepping on the deadline, we succeeded. Centaur..... When they saw it for the first time, everyone was terrified, if the hell in the mythological story really existed, then this thing must be a monster that escaped from it.

We created it with our own hands, but I don't feel like we're its creator.... It seems to be chaotic and ugly, as if it should not exist in the world, but in fact, it has a faint hint of divinity.

I felt a wonderful feeling that something that we could not recognize was sent into the world through our hands, as the great artists said, not that it was created by me, but that I was used as a ladder to this world.

After this, the record was discontinued, and Dr. Smith continued to write the entries as if he had left after the experiment was completed, but the experiment logs indicate that 1C continued to conduct the experiment after the centaur was created.

The reason why Dr. Smith did not continue to keep a diary, from what he said at the beginning, may be that the phased success of the project has greatly reduced the pressure on him, so he has no motivation to continue writing.

Andy and the three of them walked away from the terminal, and wandered around waist-deep green water for a while, there were more large glass jars in the depths of Lab 1c, but they had all been opened, and the contents were supposed to be members of the monsters that had been destroyed by Andy's punch before.

"There shouldn't be anything else, there are a lot of good biochemistry labs here, and Candace or Pierre would be happy to let them know. With the help of the legacy items here, I believe they can go further in their field of research.... But those research data on the FEV virus, I have to destroy them. Mark said this, looking at Andy.

Andy frowned, and he still couldn't let go of the terminal information he had just seen, which would be repurposed by careerists and madmen if they were to reappear in the world, repeating the tragedies of the pre-war period.

"Of course, those things just disappear here completely." Mark nodded and turned back to the previous terminal, ready to delete the data storage inside.

Beatrice suddenly crouched down and pulled out a skeleton in the water, Andy saw that there were still several healing needles and other first-aid items left on the skeleton's hands and on the ground, the deceased seemed to have suffered serious injuries here, and tried to save himself, but of course failed.

He glanced at the skeleton, and even though only the bones remained, he could still see the marks left by the sharp weapon slashing, just like the dead SA soldiers outside.

Since the terminal mentions that there were four scientists in 1C, and now that two skeletons have been found, the remains of two more should be preserved here.

At the same time, the mysterious intruders who Mark speculated to be bA agents should also leave traces in this laboratory.

With the search in mind, Andy continued to wade through the water, and in the depths of the empty jars, he finally saw the end of the laboratory.

A large door was locked in front of him, and there was a small cubicle door that seemed to have been cut open by something sharp after it was closed, and through the gap, Andy could faintly see a skeleton lying inside.

"Beatrice, do me a favor and get this out of the way." The super mutant raised his hammer and smiled, and with a loud bang, the door to the cubicle had smashed into the skeletons inside.
