While Andy, Big Bear, and the others are fighting the oncoming Ring of Steel members on the periphery, String and the other scientists are also experiencing a thrilling encounter.

With the entry of terminal programs, some robots that were idle in the building continued to come out of the maintenance room, and the automatic turrets at the corners of the ceilings on each floor also began to move.

"Open the door, let's go underground!" She raised her head and looked anxiously at the others, many scientists did not react to what was happening, and were still confused.

Branch President Candace walked over to the door, pressed it, shrugged his shoulders and walked back.

"Someone closed the door for us, it seems that unless it was a window jump...", she looked around the room, she thought that maybe it was because Diana had already reacted to some kind of lockdown procedure, even if it was in a state where it was not possible to enter or exit now, it should be no problem, so she seized the opportunity to contact Andy.

But not long after she finished her communication, all of a sudden, Diana's face appeared on the terminal.

"Someone didn't have time to retreat, so I had to temporarily close the door of the shuttle." A picture appears on the screen, which is actually Dr. Goddard and Isaac, both of whom are trapped in the shuttle in disbelief, watching the movement outside through the observation window.

"The automatic safety system of the launch platform was recently shut down and cannot be activated at this time." Xian imagined the embarrassing situation of the two of them alone in a closed environment, and wanted to laugh a little, but since the security system could not be restarted, this was the safest option.

"As long as they don't fight on their own... What about the enemies outside? Diana provided a marker map showing Bloomfield's floor plan and using the blue dots as a reference to the target of a hostile invasion.

"There are twelve invaders in the southwest, and about five in the east, and it is expected that they will be completely eliminated in half an hour, but I have detected that some of the fish that have slipped through the net have entered Bloomfield, and they—" She abruptly went offline before she could finish speaking, and walked away from the terminal, worried about what Diana had said.

Just as he was thinking, outside the window, a black figure was climbing the building quickly with his bare hands, and almost instantly arrived at the window.

When the tumor rushed in through the window, which had no glass at all, all the scientists looked frightened and helpless.

"Hmph... Looks like they're all here. A hoarse voice came from the helmet of the mysterious man standing in front.

He unscrupulously raised the rifle in his hand and swept left and right deterioratingly, frightening the people in the room to hurriedly find various shelters to dodge.

"Don't move... Otherwise I'll be nervous, and if I'm nervous, I'll.." He suddenly raised his gun and shot a shuttle at the ceiling, reaping a lot of screams on the spot.

The tumor let out an exaggerated laugh.

"Slippery skins, listen to me carefully, I need .........................it now..." Andy walked away with his back to the armored car, and not far from it lay the corpses of a group of Ring of Steel members, all of whose power armor was mutilated, either broken by energy weapons or sliced with tooth saws.

Diana sent a communication out of the blue.

"There's been an invasion of the control center, and it's critical." Andy frowned and quickly ran.

Since the building where the control center was located was only two floors, and the glass had long since disappeared, it was too easy to penetrate it, even if the isolation door was closed and locked, it was pointless, and even he could go up to this height casually.

"Diana, isn't the automatic security facility you activated earlier working?"

"The robots were too primitive, and now that the intruders are in the control center, if they were allowed to break down the door and save people, they would only shoot the hostages and gangsters into ashes, as was often the case in the past." Andy quickly found a place to dock the power armor, quickly activated Hull's stealth mode, and climbed up from the outer wall, and soon he saw the scene inside the control center, a guy wearing a black rubber bodysuit jacket, metal armor, and a high-tech helmet was standing there with an automatic rifle.

The string was not far from him, which made Andy's heart more and more nervous.

"There's a slippery skin named Andy, where is he?" The tumor scanned the crowd but didn't find a target.

He fired a random shot, leaving a bullet hole in one of the chassis, causing one of the Apocalypse Followers to fall to the ground.

"He's not here!" Gillian shouted, and the tumor looked over and pointed a gun at her and motioned for her to come over.

Xian Yuan was busy working in front of the terminal, and when he heard the sound, he looked up and shouted at the tumor.

"What do you want to do? He's not here. The tumor turned his head in disgust.

"You damn slippery, tell you to hurry up and package the data backup and hand it over to me with the storage, don't you understand? Five minutes, five minutes if you can't give me what I want—" He stopped talking and turned abruptly.

In the special vision provided by the helmet, a blurred figure approached rapidly. Seeing that this person was getting closer and closer, the tumor dropped the rifle in his hand and pulled out the pistol with a holster on his waist, this strange pistol had no magazine, only a bulging strange structure, and with him pulling the trigger, a large red laser shot out wildly.

The illusory figure did not choose to dodge this time, but rushed straight over, just when the tumor had already hooked the corners of his mouth, he unexpectedly saw a blue arc energy field appear around the figure to block the laser, and when this figure rushed in front of him, the illusory 'field' that enveloped the whole body was also instantly lifted, this person was wearing a brown long coat, wearing a composite helmet, and the miniature Tesla device installed on the strange armor inside the coat was obviously the source of the energy defense stance that blocked the laser just now.

Andy, who pumped in the combat potion, looked angrily at the unknown person in front of him, and didn't think that when he dealt with those invading Ring of Steel soldiers, there was another person who tried to steal the house, and it was almost successful, thanks to the fact that he didn't know why he didn't immediately go on a killing spree, but looking at the bullet marks around him, this person had already brought enough negative impact to the launch plan, and more importantly, the strings next to him... Thinking of this, the eyes in his helmet flashed fiercely, and he put on the industrial hand on his left hand and directly made a move to retreat Papa.

The tumor instantly jumped backwards to dodge, and pulled Gillian directly in front of him.

"Don't come here!" Andy could only stand still, and Gillian was trembling with fear as she was held hostage, and the bone spurs sticking out of the end of the tumor's finger had already pressed against her neck.

"Otherwise, this woman will definitely die, and besides, I have a bomb strapped to my body, and once my heart stops, all the slippery skins here will be buried for me!" With that, the tumor opened the gap in the armor, and there were indeed some cube-like objects tied to wires tied to it.

"Ghouls, what do you want to do?" Andy stared at the unidentified strange man in front of him, and already understood his identity in his heart, originally he guessed that this guy was some secret combat unit of the Ring of Steel, but the other party's 'slippery' directly exposed his identity, this person must be the remnants of the Children of the Wasteland, those ghouls loyal to Dr. Clark, judging by this mobility and equipment, it is very likely that it is one of the natural ghouls who escaped.

"Don't call me that vile and discriminatory word!" The tumor roared excitedly, and the tip of his hand created a bloody streak on Gillian's neck.

"If you dare to say that again, I'm going to make this woman suffer!" Seeing that Gillian was terrified, Andy clenched his fists, secretly regretting that he hadn't broken into the reserve's underground bunker faster and seized the opportunity to cut down the scourge to the roots.

"Well-what are you trying to do now, this so-called new human, just as you're doing anything, someone is about to shoot a nuclear bomb in space, and even a guy like you will die in the explosion of the nuclear bomb, and there is no chance of surviving! If you know each other, let her go, and I promise I can let you run for ten minutes. The tumor let out a series of chuckles.

"I've heard about it, what a wonderful thing it is that a nuclear explosion is about to sweep the entire west coast of the SA and even half of the SA continent again! When that good-meaning Slippery starts a second great war, our race will grow by leaps and bounds, and you, the enemies who slew our Messiah, will be liquidated in the second revelation of the Holy Spirit in the wasteland, and this is the fate that you Slippery should suffer! Andy was thinking wildly about how to kill the ghoul in front of him and save everything, but his thoughts didn't come to any conclusion, if he wanted to save Gillian, he could use a pistol to try to shoot the ghoul in the head in an instant with the help of V mode, but what if what he said about the bomb on his body was true?

In that case, everyone here will die, and even if they survive, the launch plan will surely fail.

What if the choice was less considerate of Gillian? Things didn't change, and he didn't have the means to ensure that the ghoul could be safely eliminated without killing him, stopping him without detonating the bomb.

What to do? ....

"So, what exactly do you want to do now?" Andy endured the killing intent in his heart and continued to talk to the tumor, the ghoul controlled Gillian to raise the pistol in his right hand and aim at the strings, this time Andy really couldn't help but directly turn on the V mode and use the Hercules power fist to blast it into slag, but reason stopped him, and if he did, everything would be over.

"You, hurry up and give me what I told you to bring out, or you're going to die!" Tumor said this to the strings, and Andy immediately asked.

"What did you ask her to give you?" The string took out a small metal cylinder and slowly walked out from behind the terminal.

"He asked for the location and system access codes of other SA space centers, as well as some information on pre-war space programs." As soon as she finished speaking, a red laser shot past the string, and Andy, who was highly nervous, took a step forward, but the tumor instantly turned the gun and aimed it at Andy.

"You've got enough, slippery, you just need to bring me something, and then I'll get out of here so you can continue to languish before the Second Judgment of the Holy Spirit in the Wasteland." Xian kept a surprisingly calm as she closed her mouth and walked slowly with the metal cylinder.

In the deathly silence, the surrounding scientists stared at this scene, they were not good at fighting at all, and some of them would tremble at the touch of a gun, and at the moment they were either watching or hiding under the table with their heads in their hands.

The tumor watched with satisfaction as the string took the memory a few meters away from him.

"That's it! Don't come any closer, throw it at me now, and I'll check it out right away, and if you don't give me what I want, I'll kill you right away." The ghoul stuck his pistol into the holster and beckoned, but the other hand was held tighter by Gillian, whom he was holding.

String turned her head to look at Andy, her eyes seemed to be meaningful, and then she threw the memory out of her hand with her left hand.

The silver metal cylinder spun in the air a few times, and finally fell towards the tumor's palm, the moment he caught the memory, in Andy's surprised eyes, the string suddenly raised his right arm, pulled out her green biochemical gun from the pocket of her white coat, a special dart flew directly at the tumor at such a close distance and at such a clever time, clamping Gillian's left arm and piercing into the clothing he was wearing, and the biochemical agent contained in it instantly began to take effect.

Gillian suddenly let out an exclamation, and the left arm where the tumor was hit instantly began to lose consciousness and became unable to move, and his right hand happened to be grasping the memory at this time, and it was at this time that the battery, which had been looking for an opportunity in the dark, jumped out and snatched Gillian from under the tumori's claws, and the startled tumor immediately let go of the thing in his right hand and grabbed the pistol on his waist to shoot at the string.

Andy hurriedly pumped in another dose of combat potion, and in order to save the strings, he even recklessly activated the V-mode lightning raid in a supercharged state, which made him disappear in place and instantly came to the side of the tumor, and the industrial hand directly hit the tumor's right shoulder, cutting off his right arm entirely.

In the face of this situation, the tumor could only drop the broken right arm, dragged the left arm, which continued to become more swollen, and wanted to jump out of the window directly, but unexpectedly, the cylinder brain suddenly rushed out, the head pressed forward, quickly turned the track, and hit the tumor dragging the left arm at the fastest speed.

"Rocket hammer!" He shouted the name of the inexplicable move, and slammed into the back of the tumor, knocking him straight out.

Andy staggered to his knees, he felt a sharp pain in his head like an explosion, and he vomited after taking off his helmet.

Hull's warning sound came from the back of his neck, but his tinnitus was like a loud horn falling into his ear, and he couldn't hear anything... In a trance, he only saw a ghost in front of him, the string seemed to be chanting something, standing by the window with a pistol in each hand and shooting repeatedly, thinking that she might also encounter danger, Andy clenched his fists with both hands and gritted his teeth and got up from the ground with a huge sense of discomfort, and when he walked to the string, he saw that the string had already shot out the ammunition of the two pistols in his hand, the biochemical gun and the alien atomizer.

And just below, the tumor fell to the ground, swollen to a terrifying degree, about three times larger than before, and a newborn deformed arm the size of a baby's arm had grown from the wound on his right arm, which had been severed by Andy, and the left arm, which had been hit by the biochemical agent first, had grown to the point of being larger than its body, and it was covered with huge red tumors, each of which wriggled like a worm.

His face could no longer be seen clearly, because a large number of tumors crowded his small face, and now it looked like a wild red mutant fruit, and the places on his body that had been hit by the blue energy bullets of the alien atomizer were rapidly healing, and the last traces of it were gradually fading in the blink of an eye.

The more Andy looked at it, the more he felt bad, it was clear that this was the same change that happened to him when he fought measles in the Grand Canyon, these natural ghouls have very difficult bodies, and can almost break through the biological limits of general perception, and finally turn into a terrifying super monster.

"Strings... What did you hit him? Xian's face was also full of surprise at the moment, and his brows were tightly locked.

"It's a fungus that can devour radioactive material, and when it enters a ghoul's body, it is supposed to make it swollen, and then these swells will burst very quickly, completely incapacitating them within a minute, and turning them into a completely harmless ordinary corpse within half an hour... When I was studying with Diana at the nursery, I was thinking about how to solve the glowing ghoul threat facing the Great Dome, so I developed this special biochemical bomb, I heard you say that this guy chose to use it because of the ghouls, but... Why did this guy react so violently? This was not what I expected at all, he should have dried up and died completely, why did he get more and more—" Xian's eyes widened suddenly.

"Wait, I saw him hit his head and fall to the ground and inject himself with something like a healing needle, isn't that..." Andy leaned against the window frame and looked at the increasingly unspeakable tumor below.

"Ghouls are very slow to use chemicals, and they don't like to use needles very much because they have limited effect... Whew-what he injected himself with should be a concentrated high-radiation liquid, radioactive substances are much better for ghouls than treatment needles, especially him, you don't know, string, this guy is not simple..."As he spoke, the tumor below suddenly climbed up, and in a moment his height had broken through two and a half, his body was swollen like a leather ball, his right arm was about to reach a one-to-one ratio with his body, and some strange things similar to eyes and ears began to grow on it, This appears to be a self-compensation after the destruction of the sensory organs of the face by the tumor.

Several blood-red eyes protruding from the huge arm swiped upwards and stared at Andy and Chord, and the huge monster howled and pounced on the building in front of him, the whole building trembling with a slap, and he clearly didn't intend to give up on that.

Andy patted String on the shoulder, and as Hull began to inject him with the mess of drugs and the implants in his body working, he quickly recovered, staring at the square outlines and wires looming around the heart on the swollen body of the monster below, knowing that this thing was not fighting at this time.

"Somebody's got to lure him away... And, the bomb on that guy..."

"Wait!" As soon as he tried to hold Andy, he jumped off the second floor. Andy, who was rolling, patted the dirt on his body and greeted the monster with a shot.

The tumor, which had become strangely shaped, slowly turned around, and a mouth-like crack opened on the reddish-purple belly that had become obese, spewing foul-smelling and highly radiant gas, and some droplets dripped from under the slit and fell to the ground with a sizzling sound.

Andy couldn't tell that this was a ghoul in front of him, his left and right arms were severely disproportionate, his eyes, nose, and ears began to grow from his arms, his mouth appeared on his belly, and his whole body was full of tumors... Andy was shrouded in the shadow of this guy and suddenly felt pressure.

At this moment, the monster is still getting bigger.
