Chapter 389 Deep Virtual Reality 217
The security guard touched his face; his palm was sticky and red.
Looking up, under the bright light, a drop of bright red blood dripped onto his face. His colleague standing next to him stared blankly down at him, a black tentacle-like thing sticking out of his wide-open mouth. Sticky blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, drop after drop landing on the security guard's pale face.
"No..." The security guard was so frightened that he lost his voice, his head turning stiffly. His colleagues, who had just been chatting, were all frozen in strange positions. The beach was no longer golden; instead, it was covered in patches of blood red.
He wanted to run, but he couldn't move.
The security guard touched his neck, feeling something wriggling inside. Gradually, his eyes became vacant as black tentacles pierced through the back of his neck and penetrated his entire body.
silence.
Only the sound of the intelligent pulse long-range stun gun continued, but soon even that sound disappeared.
Zhan Lin sat on the hovering police car high above, her heart pounding in her ears. The high-voltage electric shock had no effect on the mother!
"Moss, are there any survivors?"
Zhan Lin drove the hover police car straight down, yelling, "Everyone who's still alive, speak up!"
"I—Pfft—" It was Zong Ren.
"Moss, when will the others arrive?"
"We'll arrive in two minutes. There are three surviving security guards. Team Leader Zhan Lin, the police car has been attacked. I suggest you take off now to avoid the Mother's attack."
No, there are still people alive.
“They’ve been pierced through the body; their chances of survival are slim. You should protect yourself and wait for rescue,” Moss stated the best option with cold, rational composure.
Zhan Lin ignored her. She had already seen the tentacles piercing through the police car. She hadn't expected the thing to have such strong penetrating power. No wonder Xie Ning told her not to get too close.
"Ning, how wide is its attack range?"
When Xie Ning received the message, he was standing on a high-rise building reporting to Professor Sidane about the origin of the Black Blood Leech.
The higher-ups are unwilling to use regular ammunition, and she is making a final effort. If the decision remains unchanged, more armed personnel will need to be involved.
Profits are a powerful motivator; the more people eye this pie, the more support they'll receive. Hua Rui possesses a considerable amount of large-scale weaponry, but she lacks the authority to activate it.
"Two hundred meters is my observation range, maybe even larger. How about yours?"
Zhan Lin immediately asked Moss to turn on the projector and show her side of the scene.
Xie Ning nodded to Professor Sidane on the other end of the call, who indicated that he understood. She then hung up and sent the edited email to Shen Chen privately before she could finally help Zhan Lin.
Without asking Zhan Lin why she didn't run, Xie Ning directly activated the small aircraft she had left nearby for observation. It was equipped with an attack system, but it was unclear how effective it would be against this mother entity.
The spotlights were destroyed, and the area was completely dark. Zhan Lin's location could only be determined by the faint light emitted from the police car.
Looking at the blurry image on the screen, Xie Ning sighed. She should have improved the night vision function, but she had been busy with other things and hadn't had time to make improvements.
Xie Ning pulled up a section of the running trajectory, then put it back, waiting to see how things went on Xidean's side. She didn't want to expose the fact that she was secretly developing large-scale weapons too early.
After all, it's illegal on the surface.
Moreover, it was a half-finished product that she was learning and making at the same time, and she wasn't sure about the accuracy given the distance.
"Xiao Ning".
Xi De'an sent a video call, asking Xie Ning for the current real-time location map. It was too dark, and with the rain, the satellite positioning and images were far less accurate than Xie Ning's calculations from nearby.
"What did they say?"
Xie Ning calmly maneuvered the aircraft to cover Zhan Lin's retreat. She had launched three aircraft in total, but one was destroyed by the mother aircraft in a short period of time, and the other two could only cause very limited damage.
The opponent hid all three heads inside, and even though the black, muddy body on the outside was torn apart, it quickly glued itself back together.
On the beach, black tentacles shot into the sky, densely packed, some as thick as an arm, others as thin as a hair, which was completely beyond her expectations.
She hadn't noticed the tentacles chasing her while she was running away; she just kept running without daring to stop.
“Although we can’t use the constant bullet, we can use other missiles. Didn’t you say it has extremely strong recovery capabilities?” Professor Sidane said as he walked, with several uniformed men following him.
Instead of seriousness, everyone's faces were full of interest. Although their company did not specialize in biological research, they had discovered a new type of black leech mother organism that was of great research value.
Even without studying it yourself, you can still use it for trading.
Although there are government officials there, it's not unreasonable for them to get involved, to gain an advantage, and besides, they also have people on site.
