The security agent did not open fire immediately, but waited until the woman ran to within thirty meters of the blockade line and everyone could even smell the rotten and foul odor on her body before pulling the trigger.

“Swoosh—”

The harpoon-shaped crossbow arrow shot out and penetrated the woman's chest, and then exploded with a loud bang!

Broken pieces of flesh and half-coagulated plasma splashed outward, and most of the "core" hidden in the container was exposed to the outside. Another agent seized the opportunity and fired a syringe filled with active cells of the flesh-eating worm.

The needle mixed with a large amount of Nino alloy instantly penetrated the hard shell of the "core" under the powerful thrust given by the injection gun. At the same time, the glass bubble filled with compressed gas at the end of the syringe broke, and the released compressed gas directly squeezed all the contents of the syringe into the "core".

This woman... no, it should be said that it was this "seed of erosion". Her body twitched violently, and countless tentacles that had not yet fully developed tore through her human skin and grew wildly from every corner of her body. However, these tentacles quickly withered within a few seconds and turned into bloodless gelatin-like tissue.

The woman, with only an empty shell of her body left, fell to the ground, and the corrosive seeds that were parasitic in her body completely stopped moving.

"Here we go again!" yelled the agent, looking in the other direction.

"...She seems to be a little kid..."

A petite figure jumped down from the second floor of a teppanyaki restaurant. When she landed on the street, Ke Lan clearly heard a "crack" sound. Due to the huge impact force, the two legs of the little girl that first touched the ground flipped forward at a strange angle, and two bloody white bone stumps pierced the skin and protruded from the fractured part.

"Hiss..." Seeing such a shocking wound, even Major Ashkani who was standing next to Ke Lan couldn't help but gasp.

But the little girl seemed to feel no pain at all. She dragged her broken legs on the ground and quickly crawled towards the blockade line with her hands, leaving a long trail of blood behind her.

The girl was still wearing a uniform for lower grade students distributed by the Ark Compulsory Education Institution, but this pure white uniform had now been dyed the color of blood, and was stained with stains from the ground.

The girl raised her head. Her eyeballs had long since fallen to who knows where. Two finger-thick tentacles emerged from her eye sockets and kept squirming. Mucus mixed with powdery blood scabs kept flowing out of her nose and ear canals... As for the girl's mouth - her entire jaw had disappeared. Several entangled tentacles stretched out frantically from her throat and mouth, tightly strangling her neck and head...

It is no longer a human being... but a monster, a monster that should be sent back to hell... Ke Lan said to himself in his heart.

"Hmm?" Victoria raised her eyebrows and suddenly raised her hand to her subordinates, "Don't kill it."

Ke Lan looked at the woman in a strange way - could this ruthless security agent have a moment of pity? But the problem is, facing such a monster that has completely lost its human form, even if a saint is here, it is unlikely that she will be kind to such a thing, right?

"This seems to be a mutant, capture it alive." Victoria's next sentence immediately dispelled Ke Lan's doubts.

Several agents immediately put down their crossbows and injection guns, took out several four-meter-long metal forks from their equipment, and surrounded the "little girl".

"Groups three and four, pay attention to the surrounding areas and be ready to intercept any new 'containers' that appear. Group two will assist Group one in the capture operation." Victoria ordered her subordinates again.

The agents holding metal forks were only a few steps away from the "little girl". At this moment, the "little girl" who was originally crawling on the ground suddenly burst out with a huge force, jumped up from the ground, and pounced on an agent in front of her right!

"0102, retreat!" Victoria shouted harshly, and at the same time pulled out a large-caliber silver pistol from her waist and pulled the trigger at the "little girl" in mid-air!

"Bang!"

Thunderous gunshots rang out, and the "little girl" who pounced on Agent "0102" was like being hit by a heavy hook punch. She flew sideways and fell heavily to the ground, rolling four or five times before she finally stopped.

The agents immediately seized the opportunity, rushed forward and pressed the metal forks in their hands against the "little girl's" body. They twisted the metal forks hard, and a stream of high-pressure gas with a pungent smell immediately spurted out from the end of the forks, accompanied by bursts of crisp sounds like firecrackers. The metal forks were actually nailed into the "little girl's" body - even the tough and invulnerable tentacles of the Seed of Erosion were pierced!

The agents simultaneously loosened their hands of the metal forks and quickly stepped back. In the next second, dazzling arcs of electricity flashed across the surface of the metal forks, and the "crackling" sound could be clearly heard even from Ke Lan and the others' position.

"It's high voltage electricity..." Major Ashkani whispered, "I just don't know if it will be effective against the seeds of erosion..."

"It must be effective." Ke Lan stared at the "little girl" who was twitching all over due to the electric shock. "It is obvious that this is not the first time for these people to carry out a capture operation, unless the mutant is not afraid of electricity."

The special situation that Ke Lan described did not happen. After twenty seconds of "electric therapy", the "little girl" had completely lost the strength to struggle. The agents grabbed the metal fork and dragged her broken body in front of Victoria.

Victoria lowered her head and stared at it for several seconds before she shook her head with some regret: "I was mistaken. It's not a mutant... It's just that the nutrients provided by the 'container' are not sufficient, resulting in an incomplete and defective product."

After saying that, she actually raised her foot and stepped hard on the little girl's completely deformed head!

The skull, which had long been unable to bear the weight, suddenly shattered into pieces, and a translucent egg-shaped object slid out from a pile of cotton-like rotten tissue, with dozens of muscle fibers wrapped in mucus attached to it. At the end of each muscle fiber, there were several tentacles of varying thicknesses.
