Chapter 332 Deep Virtual Reality 160
Driving to different areas, using specialized testing equipment to check the drone's operational status again and again, we were busy until noon, and everyone was hungry.
“There’s one last location, Jiangning District… Let’s go.” He Yan sighed. Jiangning District was also within the pilot area, but very few drones were allocated there, and the scanning and detection effect was much lower than in other areas.
But there was nothing that could be done, since it was a slum, and it was good enough to get any.
The reason Jiangning District was included in the pilot program is because it has the highest number of alien creatures. The primary purpose is not to protect the safety of residents, but to capture the alien creatures.
Halfway there, the green dot on their screen turned red and sounded an alarm. The moving green dot was the drone, and once it turned red, it meant that an alien creature had been detected.
Other areas have also turned red, but one place has been raised to level two alert, which means that at least two alien creatures have appeared there.
The researcher sitting in the back row swallowed hard. "Should we...go?"
That was the Jiangning District they were originally going to, but alien creatures appeared there, making it very dangerous.
"Go, but be careful."
He Yan instructed Moss to change course and choose a safer route. He then opened a call with the security bureau to inquire whether any security personnel would be dispatched to handle the situation.
They would be safer if there were security guards.
"Director Xu Sanci is there, and four other security guards who are closest to him have rushed over," He Yan said.
Although they were scared, no one objected to He Yan's decision. With alien creatures invading the city, they could encounter danger anywhere.
The buildings in Jiangning District are dense, making it difficult for hovercars to park. Therefore, He Yan parked outside and ran in. With the weapons Xie Ning had recently developed, they weren't too panicked.
Just as they turned the corner, they came face to face with a monster covered in slime, its dark body slowly moving across the ground.
What He Yan and his group thought was a safe route instantly turned into the most dangerous road.
One of the researchers following behind couldn't help but scream. Although he quickly covered his mouth, a sound still escaped. He Yan's heart pounded as he looked at the monster that had turned around.
"Run!"
But they were too slow. They had only turned around and taken a few steps when the monster overtook them. The monster's black head split open with three slits, revealing red flesh inside. Its writhing mouthparts spat out a long, strip-like object, like its tongue, the tip of which was wriggling as if searching for scents in the air.
The group kept their mouths tightly shut, not daring to make a sound. This was a Blackscale Mu, a soft, sticky monster with no eyesight, relying mainly on hearing and the tip of its tongue to find the direction of its prey by searching for scents.
He Yan raised his gun, intending to finish off the monster, when a voice came from behind him.
"stop!"
Damn it! He Yan and the other two researchers rolled to the side, dodging the monster's lunging body. In just a moment, they saw the monster's pinkish-red foot muscles, with some human tissue mixed in.
It sends chills down your spine when you see it.
Looking behind, one could see Director Xu and his entourage, all of whom were carrying weapons, except for Director Xu and his assistant who were holding light screens.
One after another, ferocious reddish-brown feet trampled past him, then pounced on the alien creature with extreme speed. The sharp feet tore through the black-scaled creature's flesh, but the wounds healed quickly, and the soft black skin transformed into exceptionally hard black scales.
The large spider continued to stab, but could no longer break through Blackscale's defenses. Blackscale retreated tightly into its own turtle shell.
Just when He Yan thought the spider could no longer deal with Black Scale Mu, it pulled out strands of white silk and wrapped Black Scale Mu into a cocoon.
Since Blackscale has chosen to stay hidden, it will never be able to come out.
"Good haul today, we found three alien creatures here." Director Xu walked over, not sparing a glance for He Yan and the others, his eyes fixed on the mutated spider.
Seeing that the monster had been dealt with by the experimental subject, He Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He had just stood up shakily when he was suddenly confronted by the mutated spider that had turned around. The spider, which had countless limbs, had a strange human face.
The mutated spider met He Yan's gaze, and a strange smile appeared on its pale face.
He Yan felt his mind go blank. One of the researchers behind him had already let out a piercing scream, and another researcher had fainted.
"Director Xu, what's this?" He Yan swallowed hard, his sanity plummeting. He should probably keep his courage up.
"Don't be afraid of my test subjects, they won't harm you," Director Xu said with a smile.
"Are you here to test the drone's operation? Go ahead, we've dealt with all the alien creatures here, so don't worry about safety."
"oh oh."
He Yan's eyes were somewhat vacant. After a while, with the help of the security guards who arrived, he completed the test and then moved his unconscious companion into the car to be taken to the hospital.
"Assistant He, is that a person or a monster?" The researcher, who was standing close to He Yan, trembled. He wanted to beg Xie Ning to cancel his overseas assignment; he was really scared.
“Monster? How could it be human?” He Yan took a deep breath, then pulled up the footage captured by the hidden camera on his chest and sent it to Xie Ning.
The camera was originally installed for their work safety, but they didn't expect it to capture such footage.
At this moment, Xie Ning was discussing with people from the military research institute the prosthetics she had designed, as well as the weapons she had recently developed. The weapons were specifically designed to target alien creatures and were still in the semi-finished stage, but they could be put into actual combat testing.
I had just lowered my head to take a sip of water when I saw a message pop up on my communicator from He Yan. It was a video, and there was also a message from another researcher. There were no other words, just a barrage of crying emojis.
