The P226 pistol, one shot kills.
Everyone present was stunned for a moment, then looked back in the direction of the gunshot.
"Wu Hainan! Are you crazy?" Liang Xiaoyun rushed up and grabbed Wu Hainan's collar. "He's still a child!"
"Young Master Jiang promised to take him home!" Xiao Lin's eyes reddened as she couldn't help but complain to Jiang Qichen.
Wu Hainan put the pistol back into the medicine box, a resolute look appearing on his nonchalant face. "Go home? How can he go back? He's become such a grotesque mess, where can he go back to?"
"He couldn't even survive in the base when he was a normal person, so he turned into a monster and went back? Are you kidding me? Rather than letting him live like this, neither human nor monster, it's better to give him a quick death and let him suffer less."
Wu Hainan's words plunged the room into silence.
Will he return to his family and friends as a monster, or find release through death?
Whether you choose prolonged pain or short-term pain, you'll have regrets.
Moreover, Liu Peng's own account contained no relevant information, and keeping him to interrogate him only deepened his suffering.
"Let's rest the team for a bit, then we'll set off in five minutes. We must find Xia Ziqiu!"
After a long silence, Jiang Qichen forced out a somber voice through gritted teeth.
He clenched his fists tightly, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Lu Sheng, hold up the flashlight for me." Xu Yi squatted down and took out a box of simple surgical instruments.
"good."
Lu Sheng adjusted the angle according to the direction Xu Yi pointed, and finally shone the beam of light on Liu Peng's abdominal cavity.
Liu Peng was so thin he was practically skin and bones, with hardly any flesh on his body. The sharp, thin scalpel easily sliced through the thin skin of his abdominal cavity.
The four military teams stared in astonishment at the two men's actions, but they all knew that Lu Sheng and his group were Jiang Qichen's honored guests, so no one dared to provoke them.
Xu Yi and Lu Sheng worked together, changing the knives from time to time.
Soon, Liu Peng's body was completely dissected by Xu Yi's skillful knife work and technique.
Looking at the chaotic distribution of organs in his abdominal cavity, Xu Yi frowned and pressed his thin lips into a sharp arc.
Liu Peng's abdominal structure is completely different from that of a normal human. The bones of his upper body and the spider abdomen of his lower body are completely and naturally fused together, without any trace of artificial modification.
“He… wasn’t surgically altered…” Xu Yi stood up thoughtfully, took out his phone and took a few photos.
Zhang Xiaojuan looked astonished. "What do you mean? It wasn't done through surgery, so it could have mutated on its own?"
"Has it been parasitized by a different species?" Sun Di curiously leaned over for a look, then immediately turned his head away.
During this period, the military had also encountered some cases of alien species during the mission and learned some information about alien parasitism. Therefore, they suspected that Liu Peng was parasitized by an alien species.
Lu Sheng shook his head. "The host that is parasitized will almost always retain its original human form. There has never been a half-human type before."
In his previous life, Lu Sheng had also come into contact with some special mutant beings that were half-human and half-beast, but they were basically artificially synthesized by various base laboratories to enhance combat power.
The artificial synthesis was clearly visible when these synthetic mutants were dissected, but Liu Peng's abdominal cavity had perfectly integrated the dual characteristics of humans and spiders, without any trace of artificiality.
Just how much technology does the research institute possess to be able to do something so flawlessly?
The shadow hanging over everyone's hearts grew even heavier.
Five minutes passed quickly, and everyone was feeling somewhat dejected because of Liu Peng's ordeal.
But their determination to continue exploring did not diminish, and everyone continued to move along the corridor under Jiang Qichen's command.
Besides the room where Liu Peng was imprisoned, Dou Dou opened all the other rooms in the corridor that had combination locks.
Without exception, every room contained various mutant beings that were hybrids of humans and animals.
Not just animals, but also insects and even marine life.
However, the fusion of these mutants did not seem to go as smoothly as Liu Peng's. A large portion of them died of starvation due to mutations in their digestive systems, while another portion were rejected during the mutation process.
"This place is like a large synthesis laboratory, with failed experiments everywhere."
Sun Tiantian silently clenched her collar and whispered to Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng took in the horrific scene in the room and couldn't help but feel worried for Han Rui.
She's been missing for two days now; I hope she's still alive.
After walking along the corridor for several minutes, the group finally discovered a huge laboratory at the end of the corridor.
When DouDou opened the door, what greeted everyone's eyes was a large nutrient tank covering the walls. Inside the laboratory, two rows of tall cabinets were filled with glass jars containing specimens of various animals and plants, as well as some meat chunks whose shapes were not clearly discernible.
"Be careful, don't touch anything in here."
Having experienced the battle with Mr. Pei at the Spicy Sister-in-Law Factory, Lu Sheng reminded everyone to stay alert.
Everyone consciously gathered together and cautiously made their way into the laboratory.
Zhuangzhuang's fur stood on end, clinging to Lu Sheng's calves, staring intently at the rows of nutrient tanks on the wall.
"Have you found anything?" Lu Sheng asked in a low voice.
"Their vital signs were all frozen, so I couldn't determine the specific values."
The feline's natural wariness made Zhuangzhuang walk very carefully with every step.
The group protected Jiang Qichen, Lu Sheng, and others in the center of the formation and slowly moved towards the right side of the laboratory.
"The nutrient tanks are full of people!" someone at the front of the line shouted in terror, and the crowd immediately erupted into chaos.
At that moment, Lu Sheng happened to pass by a nutrient chamber that was as tall as a person.
A young and beautiful girl was soaking in a translucent green nutrient solution. Although her appearance was relatively well preserved, her limbs were completely covered with a thick layer of snake scales.
In addition to the scales on her limbs, the girl also had a thin, shiny strip of small scales on her forehead and chin.
She looks a lot like the snake woman in the movie, beautiful yet eerie.
Lu Sheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he was about to lean closer to take a closer look when Zhang Xiaojuan's voice suddenly came from ahead.
"I've found Han Rui!"
Zhang Xiaojuan waved excitedly from near the cabinet in the laboratory.
Lu Sheng and the others rushed over and found Han Rui submerged in the largest nutrient tank, completely unconscious.
Before DouDou could break the electronic lock on the nutrient chamber, Zhang Xiaojuan smashed the hardened glass on the door with a spiked soil.
The nutrient solution in the capsule spilled all over the floor, and a strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine instantly filled the laboratory.
Han Rui's body went limp like a noodle, and she slid softly onto the floor along with the nutrient solution.
Wake up!
Zhang Xiaojuan picked up Han Rui and slapped her hard across the face.
Lu Sheng carefully examined Han Rui's body from the side.
