Volume 8: A Trip to the Sick Village Chapter 386 Semi-finished Product
"Who is it?!" The leader of the heretical sect climbed up from the ground with some effort. At this time, Ke Lan noticed that there were more than a dozen blood holes on his body!
Although the blood holes were filled with wildly growing granulation tissue in less than two seconds, his extremely pale face showed that he was seriously injured.
"Chiron! That's not your ability!" He shouted in shock and anger, "There is a fourth person here! Come out!"
"How is it? How does it feel to be defeated by something you created?" Chiron said with a hint of smile in his tone.
“Something created by myself…” The man was stunned, then looked around in disbelief, “Could it be that unfinished product? She’s still alive? This… This is impossible!”
"That semi-finished product?" Ke Lan was also a little confused after hearing this word. It was not because he didn't know what this "semi-finished product" referred to... On the contrary, it was because he knew that he was shocked.
Just now, Ke Lan mentioned this thing in his conversation with that person. Although neither side explained it clearly, everyone present knew that the "semi-finished product" naturally referred to the thing in the iron virgin body on the top floor of Arasaka Tower.
In order to destroy that thing, the Undead Crew even abandoned the entire East 9th Area Module... Logically speaking, that thing should have died under the bombardment of the Ark's main gun...
Is it still alive?
Ke Lan remembered the "nightmare" he had during the mecha competition, and the erratic "coordinates"...
That's all true!
Although Ke Lan didn't know how that thing affected her dreams, it didn't matter anymore.
It’s not like Ke Lan had never thought about getting to the bottom of this “coordinate”, but he was also aware of the risks involved… But now, before he had made any preparations, he had to face the source of the call in his dream.
"It really caught us off guard." Ke Lan said with a helpless smile.
"She is indeed still alive." Chiron's voice sounded in Ke Lan's mind, "In the few seconds before the East 9th Area module was completely destroyed, she had already broken free from the altar built by the Six Warriors, thus avoiding the lock of the main gun."
"Is the thing in the iron virgin here now?" Ke Lan asked hurriedly.
Chiron did not answer his question directly, but continued the previous topic: "Although she is still a semi-finished product, compared with those inferior mass-produced biological weapons, the degree of completion of the two is completely different. Although she was affected by the aftermath of the Ark's main gun, she not only did not die, but also took advantage of this opportunity to complete a transformation."
Poor quality mass-produced biological weapons... Could it be the Seed of Erosion? Ke Lan clearly remembered that in those memory fragments, it was clearly stated that the Seed of Erosion could not survive for a long time in a vacuum environment. So , this "semi-finished product" seemed to be able to survive in space?
However, Ke Lan could accept this. As long as the physical strength of the creature itself was sufficient, surviving in space was not a particularly difficult thing. Not to mention the existence of the Honghuang species that subverted common sense, even the deep-sea giant eels that besieged the "Pioneer" icebreaker could do it.
The research institute once captured an immature giant deep-sea eel. In order to find out the adaptability limit of this creature, in the final used an airship to send the giant deep-sea eel directly out of the atmosphere, and then threw it out of the cabin. In the vacuum, extreme cold and radiation-filled space environment, the giant deep-sea eel lived for a whole week before its brain stopped functioning.
Even so, when its brain was declared dead, most of the organs in its body continued to function normally.
"She drifted in Alpha's low-Earth orbit for several days until this space station passed by her drifting orbit." Chiron continued, "I had already discovered her by then, and I was going to report the situation to the Ark, but she was faster than me - she destroyed the three drones I sent out for communication, and then invaded the interior of the space station... As you can see, my current state is entirely due to her."
Ke Lan suddenly understood everything - the reason why the coordinates he felt in his dream were "fluctuating" was because the space station was constantly rotating around Alpha. The coordinates were not fixed, but constantly changed with the relative position of the space station and the ground!
Moreover, Chiron also said that his body became like this because of that "semi-finished product", which could completely explain the rotting and necrosis of the tentacles of the wall of flesh and blood - after all, Ke Lan had absorbed some black liquid from that "semi-finished product", so it was not surprising that his blood could have similar special effects.
At this moment, Ke Lan heard the whimpering voice again, but this time, the call no longer seemed illusory, it seemed as if it came from his ear!
“You’re finally here.”
It was the voice of a young girl. At this moment, all the whimpers, sobs, stammers and the words "save me" that Ke Lan had heard before all came together... "It's her!" This thought subconsciously popped up in Ke Lan's mind.
Although these voices seemed quite different when heard separately, especially the sharp call from the nightmare, which sounded like a baby, and the voices he heard in East District 9 were completely different in timbre and tone. But when the words "You are finally here" exploded in his mind, he felt that the voices he heard before seemed to have become the same person... if the word "person" could be used to describe that thing.
Compared to Ke Lan, the leader of the heretical sect seemed to be more shocked. His body was shaking slightly and he kept repeating the four words "This is impossible".
Suddenly, his right arm that had turned into a black spear exploded without warning, as if a huge force burst out from the inside out. In the blink of an eye turned into sticky pus and blood that flew all over the sky, and soaked the ground like dense raindrops.
As soon as the pus and blood came into contact with the flesh membrane on the ground, a violent reaction occurred, just like adding dilute hydrochloric acid to sodium bicarbonate, and a large number of bubbles emerged from the mixture. As these bubbles burst, an unbearable fishy smell spread throughout the space.
Ke Lan quickly took out the gas mask from the fire cabinet and put it on her face.
