The emergency power supply in Mou Xuan's back teeth made a crackling sound, and the giant centipede made up of countless human remains suddenly stopped vibrating.

Engineer Yin’s half-burnt face was stuck in the center of the centipede’s mouthparts, and his gums burned by the electromagnetic net were oozing blue-green mucus.

"It will take three minutes to synchronize my brain waves." Mou Xuan wiped the blood from his lower back and rubbed the sparks from Master Duan's welding torch with his knuckles. "Engineer Jiang, share the mucus sample data with Engineer Qin - quickly!"

When Chen Yao dragged Researcher Jiang to the underground laboratory, the researcher was tripped by the frozen soil and half of Expert Xing's fingernail was stuck on the leg of his glasses.

She tore off the hairband and wrapped it around the other person's bleeding temple, and found that the mucus was devouring the aluminum door frame.

"The sample is imitating the phase difference of time travel!" Researcher Jiang pushed open the explosion-proof door of the laboratory, and the surveillance footage from three days ago was jumping on the electronic screen.

In the picture, the surface of the safe where he stored the samples showed a tearing trajectory exactly the same as that of Mou Xuan's wound at this moment.

There was a second round of vibrations from the ground. Qin's weapons developer kicked aside the pile of scrap parts and stepped on the melting ventilation duct with his oily combat boots: "I want three tons of tungsten steel, five hundred liters of liquid nitrogen, and..."

"There's only half a ton of tungsten steel left!" Logistics support officer Lu rushed in with a walkie-talkie, his collar stained with compressed biscuit crumbs. "The liquid nitrogen tank was broken by those beasts, and now the warehouse at minus seventy degrees is spewing rainbow-colored mist--"

Engineer Qin suddenly grabbed the melted door frame fragments on the operating table. The metal edges corroded by mucus were decomposing into nano-scale gears.

His bloodshot eyes stared at the jumping phase ripples in Engineer Jiang's computer, and suddenly poured half a can of rusty screws into the particle separator.

"Lao Lu, bring the scrap steel pipes and circuit boards here." He tore open his protective suit and wrapped insulating tape around his waist. The blue flames from the welding gun reflected the anatomical diagram of the mutant on the wall. "Miss Shen, please bring the venom gland of the spider mutant that we seized last week."

When Mou Xuan's fourth time pause ended, the crystal on the centipede monster's forehead had replicated 87% of his brain wave frequency.

Master Duan led the suicide squad to bombard the monster's abdomen with liquid nitrogen cannons, but found that the defensive weapons embedded in the wreckage automatically turned their muzzles.

"It's learning our tactics!" Chen Yao pushed open the explosion-proof door corroded by mucus. The poison gland culture dish in her arms was resonating with the device assembled by Qin Gong.

She saw seven obsolete microwave ovens transformed into a circular accelerator, with tungsten steel fragments suspended in the center decomposing into dark purple stardust.

Researcher Jiang suddenly grabbed his hair, which had not been washed for three days: "The resonance frequency of the mucus sample is one twelfth of Captain Mou's time ability!" He took out a half-broken pencil from the parts on the floor and drew a distorted Fourier transform formula on the explosion-proof glass.

When the monster broke through the third defense wall, Qin Gong slapped the poison gland brought by Chen Yao into the ring device.

The rusty steel pipes made a swarm-like buzzing sound in the particle flow. The moment the mutant venom came into contact with the mucus sample, the surveillance screens of the entire laboratory simultaneously burst into the image of Mou Xuan counting supplies in the warehouse three days ago.

"Done!" Engineer Qin cut off the sparking cable and stuffed the buzzing steel pipe into Mou Xuan's hand.

The tungsten steel fragment at the end of the device was emitting the same frequency as the monster crystal, but the phase was always fifteen degrees different.

A teeth-grinding friction sound came from under the permafrost, and a centipede twenty stories high suddenly turned three hundred human remains towards the laboratory at the same time.

Mou Xuan tightly gripped the weapon that was still heating up. The blood from the wound on his lower back etched spiral patterns on the surface of the steel pipe - those patterns exactly matched the sample number that Researcher Jiang had lost three days ago.

(Continuation)

Mou Xuan's palm was burned by the spiral lines, and the dark purple particle stream sprayed from the end of the steel pipe tore lightning-shaped cracks in the air.

Researcher Jiang suddenly opened his collar, revealing a patch of mucus wriggling under his collarbone: "Phase difference resonance requires a synchronization rate of more than 92%!"

Chen Yao rushed to open the emergency valve before the ventilation duct exploded, and frozen soil mixed with rainbow-colored ice crystals poured into the laboratory.

Engineer Qin grabbed the compressed biscuit package from the logistics support officer Lu and stuffed the last three tungsten steel screws into the gap in the particle flow: "Old Duan!

Pour the liquid nitrogen residue into reactor number three! "

The three hundred remains of the giant centipede screamed at the same time, and the electromagnetic cannon embedded in the abdominal segments suddenly turned around and bombarded its own crystal.

During the sixth time rewinding, Mou Xuan saw clearly that the mucus was replicating the texture of the scab on his wound. The phase ripples at the top of the steel pipe suddenly pierced into the gap of the synchronous frequency on the monster's forehead.

"Now!" Master Duan used a welding torch to ignite the entire liquid nitrogen pipeline, and the blue-white flame spiraled up along the human remains on the centipede's body.

When Chen Yao dragged Researcher Jiang into the explosion-proof cabinet, she saw on the monitoring screen that the tungsten steel material counted by Mou Xuan three days ago was overlapping in time and space with the screw fragments that exploded at this moment.

The mutant creature let out a wail similar to that of shattering glass, and its twenty-story-tall body collapsed into a continuously replicating hexagonal structure in the particle flow.

Qin Gong wiped his face with a glove covered in engine oil, and ended up turning the coffee stain from three days ago into a tactical map: "Every joint of it is imitating Lao Mou's supernatural fluctuations!"

When the seventh wave of explosions shook off the ceiling, Mou Xuan knelt on one knee, holding the still smoking steel pipe.

The blood from the wound on his lower back etched a complete sample number on the metal surface, and Researcher Jiang suddenly discovered that the mucus patches were drawing a floor plan of the laboratory on his skin.

"Fifteen degrees of phase difference..." Qin Gong kicked open the deformed explosion-proof door and pulled out half of the mutant spider's chelicerae from the ruins. "This beast is playing with Lao Mou's time crack as a puzzle!"
