Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 700: Another Fusion
"You mean there's no 'core' in its body?!" Aya was shocked. "Could it be that this thing really isn't a seed of corrosion?"
At this moment, the flesh on the chest of the corpse occupied by the tentacles suddenly cracked, and a new "human arm" emerged from the chest of the corpse...
Although the skin of this novice arm was very pink and tender, and still covered with mucus and blood from the surface of the tentacles, Ke Lan was surprised to find that the length ... were exactly the same as the arm that the tentacles had just "eaten"!
"Swallowing... fusion... regeneration..." He couldn't help but think of the wonderful scene he saw under the sea.
Countless giant nautiluses pounced on the monster that escaped from the abyss hatchery, which was called a "fusion" by the Alpha civilization... Although the attacks of these nautiluses were very fierce, and at one point they tore several tentacles of the fusion body into pieces... but the size difference between the two was too huge, and the trauma that the giant nautilus could cause to the fusion body could only be considered flesh wounds at best.
And every attack of the fusion can kill at least one giant nautilus.
It was a fight between giant deep-sea beasts. Every frame of the scene was thrilling. Even though more than a year had passed, Ke Lan still remembered it vividly.
As time went by, more and more giant nautiluses were killed and swallowed by the fusion body... and after eating those giant nautiluses, many barbed spines that were extremely similar to those of the giant nautilus quickly grew on the surface of the fusion body's tentacles.
There is no doubt that while devouring its prey, this creature is also stealing its prey's genes, fusing and editing them into its own gene fragments, actively inducing mutations...
The scene before my eyes is exactly like that day under the sea...
"At this moment, just like at that moment..." Ke Lan couldn't help but murmured.
"What did you say?" Aya looked at him and asked.
"We are in trouble... This thing might be a fusion." Ke Lan's tone was a little heavy.
If Ke Lan were given another chance, he would never choose to take the risk of diving into the hatchery at the bottom of the abyss, and he would definitely not be willing to face the "fusion body" that had almost the same power as the primitive species.
And now, what appeared in front of them was most likely a juvenile "fusion".
"Fusion? What is a fusion?" Aya asked again - none of the agents of the Security Bureau could return alive from the underwater city, so they naturally had no idea what kind of things were lurking in that underwater city, that abyss hatchery.
"It is a biochemical weapon developed by the Alpha Civilization based on the Seed of Erosion... You are at least half right. It is indeed not the Seed of Erosion. If you have to say what the relationship between it and the Seed of Erosion is, it is probably the relationship between a donkey and a mule." Ke Lan said.
"Donkeys and mules? You mean... this kind of monster is the result of hybridization between the Seed of Erosion and other creatures? But, but... doesn't the Seed of Erosion reproduce by assimilating the cells of other creatures? Does it also have the ability to reproduce sexually?" Aya said blankly.
"No... it's not the kind of hybridization you think, but a fusion method similar to gene editing." Ke Lan said, "If the information I got is correct, this monster is a fusion of two artificial creatures, the Seed of Erosion and the Flesh-Eating Worm."
No wonder the active ammunition can't cause any harm to it - the opponent itself has integrated the genes of the flesh-eating worms, so the active cells of the flesh-eating worms are naturally no longer toxic to it.
"Erosion seeds and flesh-eating worms?" Aya looked at Ke Lan in disbelief, then looked at the monster that was devouring the corpse. "Isn't the latter... equivalent to a highly toxic substance... for the former?"
"You'll have to ask the Alphas about that... Anyway, they successfully merged these two mutually exclusive creatures. You should know that I once explored the 'Underwater City' at the bottom of the Zhonghai Sea, right?"
"I know." Aya nodded slightly, "But the relevant records have been erased by the people above. I can't find any clues now."
"In the center of the underwater city, there is an abyss named 'Hatchery' by the Alphas. At the bottom of the abyss, there lurks a fusion that is countless times larger than this thing in front of you..." Ke Lan knew that these things were no longer a secret to the Undead Crew, and there was no need for him to continue hiding them. Instead of making up a bunch of lies to fool Aya, it would be better to tell her the truth.
"Then do you know how to kill this monster?" Aya asked anxiously.
"The size and strength of that thing is probably no less than that of the primitive species... Do you think, with our personal abilities, we can kill the primitive species?" Ke Lan asked back.
Although the monster before them was just a juvenile that was suspected to be a "fusion", judging from the physical strength of the Seed of Erosion's body, without the weapons to restrain it, the three of them were completely helpless .
If there was a Blasphemer mecha here , Ke Lan would like to try out how strong the defense capabilities of this monster are, but now, he has no intention of fighting it at all.
"Then...how did you survive that time?" Aya asked.
"I ran quickly, and with some luck, I was teleported from the underwater city to another place - don't ask me about the specific process of the teleportation, I also want to know what happened at that time." Ke Lan bit his back teeth and took a step back calmly .
"So what should we do now? Should we ask the military for support? If we have battleship-level firepower, perhaps we can destroy this monster... After all, it looks like it's still in its infancy..." Aya made a suggestion.
"This is probably the only way... But doing so will likely alert the remnants of the heretical sect in the Chamber of Commerce headquarters. Can you guarantee that they only have this fusion?"
Even a fused body emerged from the body of the guard who was guarding the corridor. What kind of cards did the big boss of the Nova Chamber of Commerce have in his hand... Ke Lan didn't dare to think about it.
He was not worried about his own safety, but if the other party chose to fight to the death, the entire economic development zone would probably become hell.
But the terrible thing is that Ke Lan has no way to get ordinary people in the development zone to evacuate in advance...
