Chapter 122: Degeneration
Sims screamed, spitting out blood. He grabbed Bazel's foot and cried out in terror, "I'll talk, I'll talk!"
“I took a small sample of her genes, as instructed by my superiors. I didn’t intend to harm her!”
Bazel: "Who's up there?"
Under his cold gaze, Sims stammered, "The high command of the resistance..."
Bazel's gaze darkened. He wasn't wrong; they were rebels. They called themselves the Resistance Army, but that had nothing to do with him. Anyone who dared to harm Aloo would die.
"What do you want her genetic sample for?"
“We previously obtained her genetic data from the database and found some abnormalities, so we wanted to extract it again for comparison and verification.”
"What's wrong?"
"The gene sequence is different from other sparks, we discovered..."
Sims paused here, thinking that if he revealed what they had discovered, and if the man in front of him turned out to be from the Federation, then their subsequent plans...
But he didn't look like someone from the Federation; his eyes were too ruthless, more like someone from a gang.
Bazel stomped his foot hard. "Found what? Don't test my patience!"
Sims looked at the sharp blade that had pierced his skin, and still spoke up: "We found Zerg gene fragments in her gene sample."
A hint of surprise flashed in Bazel's eyes. He quickly released Sims.
He had been secretly following Anunu for the past six months and knew that the rebels had their eyes on her, but had not yet made a move.
Now that Sims has said this, he can guess that the rebels want to exploit Anunu's abnormal genes.
But why does Anunu have Zerg genes in its genes?
Many thoughts raced through his mind. Looking at Sims, who was curled up in a ball in front of him, he half-squatted down in front of him and held the blade to the hand that had touched Anno. "I can spare your life."
Sims's eyes lit up, then he felt a sharp pain in his wrist as Bazel slit his wrist open and stuffed something inside.
"You have to work for me. I've planted a nanobomb inside you. If you don't listen to me, I can detonate it at any time."
He tapped a few times on the computer, and a projection interface popped up, showing a red dot, Sims's genetic information, and a location marker.
"I've added some new functions to this thing. You can take it out, but I'll receive a signal before you try. If you dare to move it, you'll be blown to bits."
Sims took a deep breath, looked at him, and said, "What do you want me to do?"
Bazel stood up and put his hood back on. "You can take her genetic sample. After the test results are available, you need to give me a copy. I need to know immediately if the rebels have any plans or actions against her. If the rebels do anything to her that I don't know about before I receive the information, you can just wait to die."
Sims hesitated, "I'm just a nobody, my position isn't high..."
Bazel gave him a cold glance: "Then we'll see how well you manage to survive."
Sims moved slightly, wincing in pain, and said, "I understand."
Bazel removed the soundproofing device, opened the door, and disappeared from Sims' sight.
As soon as he left, Sims breathed a heavy sigh of relief; he felt as if he had just been on the verge of death.
Sims endured the pain and stood up from the ground. This man was really too ruthless. He still needed to find a way to get information from the higher-ups, otherwise this man would really kill him!
In the square, Anno and Eli were playing a holographic game in front of a game console. It was a newly released game, and there was a trial version available.
Anno also has a game account, and she usually plays games at home.
Logan and Tang Ting stood behind Anno, accompanying her. Her character in the game could be seen on the projection screen next to them; she was an adult character holding a sniper rifle.
After learning about her past experiences, the two of them never stopped her from playing games that were unsuitable for cubs.
As Luo Jin was looking at Anuo, a communication from Wu Sui popped up on her personal terminal. She turned on her earpiece and answered the call.
"Commander, we have confirmed the identities of those two people, and there are no problems so far. However, our people saw that one of them was seriously injured after leaving a restaurant on East Street."
"The injury is quite serious?"
"Yes, they went in perfectly fine, but it looked like they'd been beaten up."
Luo Jin pondered for a moment and said, "Continue to observe these two. Notify me immediately if any problems arise."
"yes."
After hanging up the call, Tang Ting turned to look at her. "What's wrong, A Luo?"
"I feel that things have been a bit unsettled lately," said Luo Jin.
The constant stream of news from the front lines, along with various actions, large and small, from different federal departments, were like undercurrents hidden beneath reefs, suggesting that something might happen at any moment.
Lokin was very sensitive to danger, and she sensed something unusual about the place.
Tang Ting walked to her side and whispered, "We need to find Nuonuo's things first."
He also sensed something was wrong from the commotion above.
They must find Nono's core before her Zerg genes completely devour the Northern River genes, but there is no record of it in the core database. Perhaps only those who participated in the theft of the Little King Bug back then know where the core is.
Most of those people from back then are dead; only a handful remain.
Aled certainly knew where it was, but he couldn't ask him, much less let him know what they were planning to do.
If they bring Nono's matter into the open, it's very likely they won't be able to get her core back, so they have to be careful.
Now he's seeing if he can find out through other means.
After Anuo finished playing the game, the merchant gave her a doll. They initially felt it was a bit inappropriate to see Huozhong playing the game, as it was designed for ages 15 and up. However, seeing that Huozhong's guardians allowed her to play, they naturally didn't say anything.
They watched the little boy's performance in the game the whole time, and they never expected that such a young child would have such accurate shooting skills. No wonder he is a child raised by a military family!
"Nono is really amazing, my score isn't as high as yours."
Eli smiled and patted her head.
Anno and Eli had played all morning and were in much better spirits. They handed the dolls they were holding to Locke.
Luo Jin smiled and took it, "Baby, are you hungry? Let's go have lunch."
Anno nodded and pulled Eli along as they walked forward.
Suddenly, the crowd in the square became agitated, several screams rang out, and the crowd began to scatter and run to the side.
Luo Jin immediately picked up Anuo and led her to a less crowded area to observe the surrounding situation.
As soon as they stood still, they saw several huge beasts leap out of the crowd. They attacked and tore at the people. Some people tried to stop the beasts, but they were all attacked and thrown away by the frenzied beasts.
Luo Jin handed Anuo to Tang Ting, who then flicked her wrist, revealing a long sword. She stood in front of Anuo and the others, holding the sword, constantly on guard against attacks from the beasts, while simultaneously notifying the security department to come and handle the situation quickly.
The beasts were very close to them. After attacking haphazardly for a while, they seemed to have found their target and all looked towards Anno and his group, rushing towards them.
Anno's heart jumped instantly. There were chaotic crowds running around everywhere. If those beasts were coming for them, they wouldn't be able to escape no matter how they ran. They would have no choice but to subdue them.
As Lokin stepped forward, preparing to meet the attack, he sensed the fire energy emanating from his side.
She turned around and saw Eli, who had released the fire energy to attract the frenzied beasts.
Eli stood in front of Lockin, raised his hand, and the beastmen stopped in front of them, shaking their heads irritably and pacing back and forth in front of them.
Anno watched as Eli radiated a brighter light than usual, the band of light behind his ears swaying without wind.
The moment his energy erupted, Anno's body also lit up, with flashing light bands connecting with Eli's energy.
Under the purification of Eli's energy, the beasts gradually regained their human form, but they looked quite different from normal humans, with their beastly features being too obvious.
Eli frowned slightly: "It won't do. They've degenerated too quickly; they're almost becoming corrupted beings."
Just as Eli was about to try to mobilize the energy in his body again, the security and inspection departments arrived.
The head of the inspection department walked up to Eli and said to him respectfully, "Lord Eli, their degeneration is irreversible. You don't need to bother purifying them anymore."
Eli said, "Let me try again."
The minister smiled slightly, still respectfully saying, "Your energy shouldn't be wasted on them."
Eli slowly withdrew his energy, his expression darkening.
Anno watched as the beasts that had transformed back into human form were quickly restrained and taken away by the security personnel, disappearing from their sight.
