Although he had already prepared himself mentally, the boy still couldn't help but feel fear after seeing the scene in front of him.

In the dim basement, there were pieces of squirming flesh everywhere, and among these pieces of flesh, pale, skinny people were tightly wrapped like spider prey. Not only that, but what frightened the boy even more was that with the help of the flashlight, he could clearly see that above these people's heads, tentacles were hanging down like tree roots, inserted into their brains, and were twitching and squirming! !

“Wa ...

Seeing this scene, the boy finally couldn't help but scream and retreated in panic. He raised the gun in his hand, gasping for breath, and aimed at the strange meat balls in front of him. But because of excessive fear, the boy couldn't pull the trigger at all.

What the hell is this thing? Is it a protogastric animal?

Although his brain tried desperately to admit that this should be a variant of some kind of protogastric animal, the boy could instinctively feel that this was not any kind of existence he knew, but something from a distant world that did not belong to this planet at all.

"call!!"

At this moment, the boy felt a gust of wind behind him. He rolled forward hurriedly and felt a burning sensation suddenly emerging from his back the moment he bent down. Then he almost instinctively raised his pistol, aimed at the back and shot!

"Bang!"

As sparks flew, the boy only saw a strange black shadow flash past behind him, and then quickly disappeared into the shadows.

What kind of monster is that? Is it really a gastrula?

Thinking of this, the boy immediately raised his alertness to the highest level, and his right eye suddenly opened, and then quickly turned into a mechanical eye to scan the surroundings. At this time, the boy saw again in the dark shadows, a strange black shadow stabbed towards him!

Can't hide anymore!

Realizing this, the boy quickly raised his right hand to block in front of him. The next moment, the black shadow had already hit the boy's right hand heavily.

"clang!!!"

But unexpectedly, the shadow did not pierce the boy's right arm. On the contrary, a series of sparks emerged from it the moment it hit the boy's right hand, and then the boy flew backwards in embarrassment and fell heavily to the ground. However, he quickly stood up again and looked around vigilantly.

At this moment, the skin used for camouflage on the boy's right arm has been completely torn, and through the faint light, one can even see the blue and black metal arm inside. In fact, the boy's arm is not flesh and blood, but a prosthetic limb made of metal.

This is a product of the gastrula war. In order to fight against gastrula animals, humans used iron to make prosthetic limbs for those who lost limbs in the war, and trained them to become warriors. The boy in front of him is one of them.

Must leave here.

Clenching his fists, the young man looked around vigilantly. At this moment, he realized that something seemed to be moving around him, trying to capture him. Although he didn't know what it was, and although he didn't know what happened here, he was sure that the Tiandao Palace had definitely not done anything good here! Although the evidence obtained so far is not sufficient, with these images, it should be enough...

“Swoosh!!”

The sound of wind rang out again, and the boy leaped up and dodged the blow that appeared out of nowhere again. He rolled to his feet, and then quickly rushed to the stairs. But just as the boy was about to step onto the stairs, another black shadow suddenly appeared, blocking his retreat.

"What is this..."

It was not until this time that the boy finally saw the true face of the monster in front of him.

It was a black monster with strange and hard bone thorns, slender arms and tail, and a long, oval head similar to a banana or bread. It was completely unlike the protogastric animals that the boy had seen, but more like a terrifying existence from another world.

“…”

The black alien creature raised its head and opened its mouth, with sticky saliva dripping from its mouth. Although it had no eyes, the boy could still feel the terrifying murderous intent coming from its body, locking onto him.

Must escape from here!

Clenching his right fist, the young man stared at the movements of the monster in front of him. Then his eyes blurred and the next moment the black monster pounced in front of him!

The time is now!

"Tendo-style fighting technique type 1, number 15 --!!"

Looking at the black monster rushing towards him, the young man roared and swung his fist. At this moment, his right hand seemed to explode with a "bang bang" sound, and then his entire right hand began to accelerate at the moment of the explosion, hitting the target with a whistling sound.

"cloud--!"

Phew.

However, the boy did not finish his action.

A sharp barb pierced through the boy's body from the back, and the boy who was charging forward had never expected to be ambushed. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but before he could make any other move, he saw the black barb lift him from the ground and hang him in the air.

“Ugh…ah…”

His chest began to feel hot, and everything in front of him became blurry. The boy opened his eyes with difficulty, and the only thing he could see was the monster's open mouth.

"...It seems...I lost...I'm sorry...Mu..."

"puff!!"

However, before the boy could finish his words, the next moment, the mouthparts flew out of the alien's mouth and smashed his head like a bullet. The boy's body trembled, then collapsed to the ground, without a sound.

When Fang Zheng brought Tilia back to the "Institute", it was already evening.

"There are intruders?"

Fang Zheng was also somewhat surprised when he got the news from Lulana.

"It seems that those guys in Tokyo Special District can't sit still anymore... By the way, where is the body?"

"Because the head was crushed, I judged it to be of no use, so I disposed of it."

“I see.”

After hearing Lulana's answer, Fang Zheng nodded and then put the matter of the unfortunate intruder behind his mind. No matter who the intruder was or what he was doing here, he was dead anyway. Since he was already dead, there was nothing to worry about.

"By the way, how is the research progress?"

"Report to the master, it has been initially successful."

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Lulana decisively put the previous intruder behind her and answered.

"I followed your suggestion, Master, and readjusted the genes of the amoeba... and finally made some progress."

"oh?"

Fang Zheng immediately became interested in Lulana's report.

"What's going on?"

"We reconstruct the amoeba and then inject it into the target. The amoeba will gradually devour and fuse the target's brain, thus achieving complete control over it. However..."

"only?"

"Since the human body is relatively fragile, the fusion will take at least three hours, and the target will have a high body temperature and fall into a coma..."

“That’s not a problem.”

Fang Zheng shook his head, then he thought for a moment and made a decision.

"Since we have made some initial progress, the next step is large-scale human trials... Hmm..."

Having said this, Fang Zheng suddenly paused. Then he reached out his hand, took out his cell phone from his pocket and glanced at it. Then, Fang Zheng raised the corner of his mouth with pride.

"It looks like we have a very suitable volunteer."

Then he spoke.
