Volume 16 Tower of Babel Chapter 891: The Beast with Wisdom
"Then...what should we do next?" Ghost Owl asked, "The underwater pyramid is not here...which means that our previous plan...all the discussions...are all invalid."
"Do you know that there are four very classic four-character idioms in China?" The hound glanced at the ghost owl and said.
"What four-character idiom?"
"The first sentence is - 'Now that I'm here,'" the hound exhaled viciously, "Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it... I don't care which underwater city it is, I'll turn it upside down... If it has the guts, it can swallow me whole, and it'd be best if it doesn't even spit out bones!"
"The underwater city won't eat people, but the fusion creature living in the abyss hatchery will." Zhuo Ligetu said with some concern.
The core members of the God Hunting Group all knew about Ke Lan's exploration of the underwater city and the nameless island. If they had to say what the most dangerous thing in the entire exploration process was, it would definitely be the fusion body.
Apart from the "person" who is suspected to be Liao Xing, there are only some non-mutant erosion seeds on the nameless deserted island. This kind of monster can be considered a trouble before there are any targeted means, but for the hunting group at this stage, unless it is a particularly powerful mutant or one with special abilities, the ordinary erosion seeds are really just a small dish.
As for the "person" who looked exactly like Liao Zilang, although he pushed Ke Lan into the abyss, judging from the results, "it" seemed to want to send Ke Lan away from that place ... In a sense, it saved Ke Lan.
It may not be considered an ally of mankind, but at least it should not be an enemy.
The only creature that Hound and his men can't deal with now is the fusion creature in the Abyss Hatchery - the "juvenile" fusion creature bred by the Nova Chamber of Commerce had to use the main gun of a heavy cruiser to kill it, and the one in the Undersea City would probably require firepower at the level of a battleship.
Among the five of Hound and his companions, only Valentina's Blasphemer mech can perform combat power underwater. Although the Blasphemer mech is equipped with a small plasma cannon, the power of this plasma cannon is not as powerful as the main gun of a heavy cruiser. In addition, seawater will greatly weaken the power of the plasma cannon. Wanting to use the Blasphemer mech to deal with the fusion in the abyss... In a word, difficult.
Although the video footage of the Nova Chamber of Commerce's actions was classified as top secret by the Undead Crew, Ke Lan was a member of the Undead Crew, and everyone in the God Hunting Group had naturally seen it. They were also very clear about the strength and characteristics of the fusion body - to sum it up in one sentence: the longer it lives and the more it eats, the stronger it becomes and the more abilities it possesses.
This monster has completely broken through the shackles of biological genes. To it, the genetic fragments of all organisms are like modularly designed mecha equipment, which can be fully assembled by simply plugging them into the corresponding interfaces... To use more "two-dimensional" words, an existence like this is a creature that truly possesses "infinite possibilities."
Of course, this infinite possibility is only within the concept of carbon-based organisms - dead objects like mechas and battleships do not have "genes". Even if they are eaten by the fusion body, the fusion body will not grow a plasma cannon or a set of missile launch nests. It is probably for this reason that the Alpha civilization will shelve the research and development of the fusion body and turn to study the red flesh worms that can completely simulate anything.
It’s a pity that “Him” is obviously a creature from a higher dimension, and the so-called “blood of God” is not really “Him”’s blood… Otherwise, with the characteristics of the fusion body, the Alpha civilization can completely replicate a “great god”.
"If we are discovered by that thing, we might not even be able to escape." Chi Hanfeng's eyebrows revealed a trace of irritation, and the pencil in his hand scribbled meaninglessly on the paper. "It has been several years since Ke Lan encountered that thing. No one knows whether the undead crew has sent people to explore the underwater city during this period of time... I don't care how many indigenous creatures that thing has eaten, I am just worried that it has eaten humans."
Humans are far from being comparable to other beasts in terms of strength, agility, and physical strength, but the reason why humans can become the overlords of the earth is because of their wisdom... With the characteristics of a fusion body, if it has eaten humans, it can grow organs similar to the human brain, which means that it can have the same... or even superior intelligence to humans.
Of course, when humans lose their only advantage, which is wisdom, they are no different from lambs to be slaughtered when facing such an enemy.
"It should be... eaten." The hound also heard the hidden meaning of Chi Hanfeng's words, "Ke Lan said that he found the bodies of the advance team members here when he first explored the underwater city, which means that the advance team sent by the Security Bureau had been here... and he also threw a body as bait to the fusion body. Although the body was blown to pieces, there is no guarantee that the genetic information retained in the erosion fragments will not be absorbed by the fusion body..."
"Wait a minute...what is this Undead Crew you just mentioned?" At this time, Ghost Owl interrupted with a confused look on his face - as an "outsider", he had no idea that Undead Crew existed, and was naturally confused by this new term mentioned in the conversation between Hound and the others.
The hound glanced at the ghost owl and said, "We are all on the same boat. There is nothing to hide from you. Are you sure you want to know? If you know, you can never go back to your previous life."
“Even if you don’t know, you can’t go back, right?” Ghost Owl said with a wry smile, “It’s already this time, even if you’re going to die, you have to be a ghost who understands.”
"That's right. That's the style of the Undead Crew. Even if you don't know anything, if you come with us, they will think you are an accomplice." The Hound nodded, then briefly introduced the existence of the Undead Crew to Ghost Owl.
