Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 701: Seed No. 4
"Ignore it for now." Ke Lan suddenly said, "It seems to be obsessed with devouring corpses, so let it stay here to 'eat', and we will continue with the original plan."
"What did you say?" Aya looked at Ke Lan in astonishment, as if she couldn't understand why Ke Lan would come up with such a bold plan.
Leaving this dangerous monster here and continuing to sneak into and search the Nova Chamber of Commerce... Is this guy crazy?
"For this fusion to grow into the form in the underwater hatchery, it needs a huge amount of nutrients. And here are all human corpses. Even if it absorbs a large number of human genes, the degree of mutation will not be too exaggerated - compared with the native creatures of Alpha Star, humans are too weak. The only thing to pay attention to is that this thing may gain intelligence."
"Gaining wisdom... this is too impossible..."
"Since it can perfectly replicate a human arm, it shouldn't be difficult for it to perfectly replicate a human brain." Ke Lan said, "But I think those old monsters in the Undead Crew would be very interested in a fusion with the same intelligence as humans."
When he said this, he didn't consider at all that he was also a member of the Undead Crew.
Although he has inherited the fifth seat of "Pope", Ke Lan always feels like an outsider compared to the original members.
In other words, a clown... a puppet being manipulated by someone.
The three of them began to slowly retreat… The young fusion body ignored them and pounced on the bodies of the guards, continuing to feast on them.
"Let's go." After having created a distance of about ten meters between himself and the fusion larva, Ke Lan took a deep breath, turned around and left.
As for the deer hunting knife that was still stuck in the person's body... Ke Lan still had spare weapons on him, so it wouldn't be too late to get it after the operation was over.
But at this moment, in the warehouse on the first floor of the Xinxing Chamber of Commerce, the watch on the wrist of one of the two sturdy men who were sitting opposite each other suddenly vibrated, and the dial lit up red.
"Red signal!" Another sturdy man was startled, and put out the half-smoked cigarette in his hand on the table, and grabbed the weapon next to him, "What number is it?"
"Seed No. 4 has left the 'container'..." The sturdy man with a watch stared at his wrist and said, "According to the schedule, the seed in No. 4's body will take at least one and a half months to mature..."
"Could it be that number four was killed? The seed was forced into a rapid transformation?" The other strong man's eyes twitched wildly, "Someone is invading?!"
He subconsciously wanted to press the alarm device placed not far away, but his wrist was tightly held by his companion.
"you……?!"
The sturdy man who was stopped was stunned at first, but after he and his companion looked at each other, he read the unspoken code from the other's eyes.
If the alarm device is triggered, the entire Chamber of Commerce headquarters will immediately begin to implement the "dismemberment plan". Their boss will choose to break out by force under the cover of the Chamber of Commerce's armed forces, and the two of them will become abandoned pawns.
Moreover, both of them knew exactly what was in the two syringes that the boss gave them... After injecting that stuff, even if they were not killed on the spot by the Security Bureau agents, the two of them would not have more than three days to live.
They had participated in live experiments with this thing before, and had witnessed with their own eyes the painful struggles of test subjects who had been injected with the trial version of the drug before their death... Rather than being harmed by the side effects of this thing, dying in battle was actually a relief.
What's more, the boss also asked them to release the thing kept in the basement after injecting the potion... Even if the boss promised that the thing would not eat them, this is still an extremely risky task.
But no matter what the situation is, as long as they press the alarm device, it means that the countdown will begin.
The box of syringes was placed on the folding table between the two of them, and there were cigarette butts and empty beer cans piled on the side.
Both of them looked at the box at the same time, and their heavy breathing echoed in the warehouse.
"So now...what should we do?" asked the burly man who was originally planning to press the alarm.
"Perhaps... there are some problems with the experimental steps, and the maturity time of the number four seed may have been advanced." The burly man with the watch let go of his companion's wrist, grabbed the gun under the table, and gently pulled the bolt. "It's too reckless to just press the alarm device like this. At least, we have to figure out the situation first."
He glanced at the walkie-talkie next to the beer can, hesitated for a few seconds, picked it up and put it on his shoulder.
As soon as the switch was turned on, a lot of harsh electrical noise came out of the receiver.
Due to some "special reasons", the basement and first floor of the Nova Chamber of Commerce are equipped with a large number of electromagnetic signal jammers, and radio communication equipment cannot be used on these two floors... and although the watch on the strong man's hand looks like a technological product of human civilization, the "chip" inside is actually a relic from the Alpha civilization. Except for the outer shell and the display screen, this is a complete creation of the Alpha civilization. Its function is to specifically monitor the growth of the "seeds" that are parasitic in the "container".
This thing follows a completely different technological path from humans, so electromagnetic signal jammers will not have any effect on it.
The two men walked out of the warehouse without saying a word, and walked until they were only ten steps away from the stairs, leaving the range of the electromagnetic jammer. The electrical noise from the walkie-talkie receiver also mostly disappeared.
However, they did not consult the guards about the situation - as the second and third most important figures in the Nova Chamber of Commerce besides the "BOSS", they knew very well what the "seed" was. If Seed No. 4 really broke away from the "container", it would immediately attack the surrounding "prey" to satisfy its own needs for nutrients and evolution. But they did not hear any gunshots from upstairs just now... This means that the living people around Seed No. 4 may have been killed by it.
They did not notify other people in the Chamber of Commerce... They did not want to make too much noise before figuring out the situation... As for the "BOSS", he should be in hibernation at this time, and he would not wake up unless someone woke him up or broke into his bedroom in the basement.
The BOSS should still be unaware of what is happening in the Chamber of Commerce building.
