Chapter 390 Deep Virtual Reality 218
"Yes, its regenerative ability is extremely strong. Even severed tentacles have vitality and will grow tiny mouthparts. It requires direct destruction of cell tissue, which is why I suggested using the Constant Bullet."
Xie Ning retrieved a clip and sent it over.
In the video, you can clearly see countless broken tentacles sticking together and wrapping around the resisting security guard.
A muddy body can reshape itself, making it difficult to destroy.
Professor Sidney paused for a moment; this was indeed a difficult problem to solve.
"The Awakened Ones have arrived."
Xie Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zhan Lin being rescued. There were about fifty security guards present, but in the end only Zhan Lin and the security guard squad leader named Zong Ren survived.
If Zhan Lin hadn't chosen to rush in, Zong Ren wouldn't have survived either.
His thigh was pierced, but he dodged quickly and ruthlessly, decisively severing half of his own leg.
Otherwise, his abdominal organs would be ruined.
The security guard's bulletproof vest was easily pierced, and Xie Ning didn't think his ice layer could stop him. At this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little glad that he hadn't lingered any longer.
Upon hearing that Awakened support had arrived, Professor Sidane quickly inquired about the situation.
Xie Ning simply shook his head. "The army and the Awakened Ones have arrived, and this area has been sealed off. But judging from the situation just now, the Awakened Ones still don't have any advantage against this Mother.
They were at a disadvantage from the very beginning; what good is a pile of mud?
The opponent can not only decompose itself to neutralize attacks, but it is also highly malleable, with each tentacle having strong penetrating and pinching power.
"Should we report it?" a high-ranking official on the other end asked.
"Of course we have to report it, but whether we use it or not depends on the situation." Destroying it completely would be a real waste.
Xie Ning's face remained expressionless, as if he had expected this, but his expression softened slightly when he saw a reply that had been received ten seconds earlier.
She was just giving it a try, but unexpectedly, the side she had the least hope for gave her a definite answer.
Perhaps this thing is indeed of great research value, but Xie Ning doesn't think it's worth exchanging so many lives for it.
Shen Chen, who was attending an emergency meeting at the time, was also there.
With the Shen family on their side, other families, though they may have objections, find it difficult to oppose them, since the Shen family is one of the top conglomerates, and Shen Chen controls the Southern Military Region.
After the meeting, General Wanlis made a special call to Shen Chen to reconnect.
"Minister Shen, can the Shen family be dealt with?" Wanlis now greatly admires Shen Chen.
To be honest, he was surprised to receive Shen Chen's private email. He didn't expect Shen Chen, the eldest son of the Shen family, to contact him.
But when he thought about how some of the upper-class circles within the Shen family knew about such sordid things, he felt it was normal. This incident only confirmed one thing for him: Shen Chen was indeed not on the same side as the Shen family.
Even though he is the eldest son of the Shen family, he represents the Shen family in public.
"No need for Admiral Vanliss to worry. I am grateful for Admiral Vanliss's support in today's vote."
"It's nothing, it's a piece of cake. That was my choice anyway." Shen Chen had important business to attend to at the first meeting and instead sent his deputy minister instead.
Wanlis wondered if the outcome would have been different if Shen Chen had participated in the first meeting.
The latest news is that 53 of the first batch of security personnel who rushed to the scene died, with only two surviving.
What about this time?
Soon, Wanlis received the answer.
Two Awakened Ones died, and thirty-two ordinary armed personnel died.
Before the orders were issued, they still rushed forward as originally ordered, but it was all in vain; they were just providing nutrients to the Black Blood Leech Mother.
"retreat!"
Upon receiving the order, the armed personnel and awakened individuals began to retreat at top speed, but seemingly sensing their intentions, the previously quiet Matrix stirred and pursued them at an extremely fast pace.
Zhan Lin looked at the mother body behind her, which resembled a small black mountain, her face tense.
If they don't create distance, the constant bullets will annihilate them along with the mother.
Suddenly, the black object stopped moving, its tentacles ceased extending, and a long, forked tongue emerged from its head, as if it had smelled something.
The other huge eye darted around and then looked up at the sky.
Through the rain, Zhan Lin couldn't see what it was, only that the black leech mother turned around and chased after something.
The countless fine, thread-like tentacles slowly retreated. Zhan Lin didn't know how much time had passed, but every second felt incredibly long, and the sound of rain falling outside the car window was also irritating.
Finally, a thunderous explosion rang out, and an intense burst of light illuminated half the sky.
"Is it... dead?" Zong Ren's lips were extremely pale, and there was still lingering fear in his eyes.
"They're dead..." Zhan Lin felt no joy, but rather a sense of melancholy, not only for the security guards who didn't have to die, but also for the other head she saw inside the Mother's Encirclement, hidden by long strands of hair.
If it weren't for it, I might have died the moment I chose to rush in to save Zong Ren.
Xie Ning stood atop a tall building, a white silk handkerchief tied around her arm, still stained with red blood.
