Chapter 193, Heavenly Gene
Lacroxia and his team felt that the town of the Singers was a very beautiful place.
Two- or three-story small buildings, each with a yard, are scattered in an orderly manner. Various green plants surround the houses, and the streets are also very clean.
The newly built houses in the outer city of Fuxing City are nothing compared to here. The houses there are much taller than here, all of them are five to six-story apartment buildings, and there is not much vegetation.
At first, the special forces soldiers were quite nervous in the town of the Singers, but they soon discovered that the place was already deserted.
They also entered several houses to investigate and saw signs of habitation, but it was some time ago.
When people left here, they evacuated in an orderly manner and without haste. The house was empty and everyone had taken away everything they needed.
After a brief search and finding nothing of value, they continued their exploration.
Until a research institute was found.
It was not easy to find, it was a very hidden underground entrance. After walking a few steps inside, they were blocked by a solid steel door.
But it didn't hold them back for long.
After upgrading his weapon, there were several thermal bombs in Lacrosha's tactical backpack.
The Alliance currently has no ability to produce this thing, but if it is just a bomb and not a melta weapon, the price is not expensive. Governor Gu imported a lot from his cousin, so the special forces are certainly qualified to be equipped.
Under the powerful effect of the melta bomb, no matter how thick the steel door was, it was useless and was still blown open by them.
After entering, they actually made some good discoveries.
I had no hope at first, as this place was clearly abandoned. It might have been the headquarters of the Natural Salvation Society, or a core area, but after they evacuated, how could they have left anything behind?
But I really stayed.
Here, they saw more signs of recent visitor traffic.
It is true that they are moving, but there are probably too many equipment and materials in this research institute and it is difficult to move them, so they have not yet finished moving.
Judging from the traces at the scene, there were still people working here at least yesterday.
After a brief discussion, they decided to explore first to see if there was anything of high value, intelligence, equipment, samples, research materials... anything would be fine.
If it is available and easy to get, then move it out, then have the Falcon come down, carry the item up and transport it back to the Alliance.
Then, they plan to lurk here for a while.
Since some enemies seem to be still moving their things away from here, they can just wait here and see if they can catch those moving enemies and find their new hiding place.
At the beginning of the operation, it went quite smoothly.
They found a lot of good stuff, including some information and even what appeared to be encrypted data storage machines.
They transported the things to the entrance and piled them up temporarily, then re-entered the research institute and explored again.
Then, when Lacroxia was searching a room, he heard a message from a comrade saying that deep in the institute, they had found something... something they didn't know how to describe.
Lacroxia went to see it, and it seemed to be a cryogenic sample layer. There were six large glass petri dishes, three meters high, placed here.
And in each of these six petri dishes, there was a terrifying-looking monster.
It looked like a lizard man standing upright, with four arms and a long tail.
Its most notable features are the same as those of most deformed monsters: abscesses and a deformed body.
Pustules of various sizes grow on their bodies, and some of them often break; there are always unnatural bulges or depressions on their bodies, indicating that some part of the body is abnormal.
"I've never seen anything like this before. Is this a new type of deformed monster being cultivated by this so-called Nature Society?"
"It should be. These perverted cult members are really abominable. The Wrathful Owl Star will be countless times better without them!"
The soldiers were communicating with each other.
After seeing Lacroxia coming over, someone turned around and asked him, "Uh...Sergeant, what should we do about this? Should we...move them away?"
Lacroix was also in trouble.
He didn't know what to do.
If these samples were moved back, they would be very valuable, and researchers from the alliance should be able to get something useful from them.
However, the risks are high.
Not to mention whether there would be any problems during the transportation of the thirty people, there was only one point: they could not guarantee that the petri dish could continue to operate during the transportation process. If the living monster inside was just dead, then it might be okay, and after returning, they could only say that they had tried their best.
But if the result of the petri dish breaking is that the monster inside is activated...
That would be a lot of fun.
Put the six petri dishes with wind falcons, and then they run out in the middle of the flight... I dare not imagine the consequences.
But if we destroy it directly, it would be a waste of opportunity.
Lacrosse scratched his helmet, feeling very conflicted.
He once again sighed in his heart, thinking that he really shouldn't be allowed to play such a leading role. His ability was just to be a soldier, and he would do whatever his superiors ordered him to do, even if it meant risking his life; but when something happened that required him to decide what to do, especially when it would bring different, but all very bad consequences, he would be even more hesitant.
What happened next made him no longer hesitate.
The sound of "hissing" continued, as if some kind of gas valve was opened.
Lacroxia and his team members immediately became alert. They raised their guns and pointed them at the source of the sound, which was the six petri dishes.
A strong sense of danger surged into his heart. Lacroxia had no room for hesitation at this moment. He ordered:
"Fire!"
At the same time, he fired the first shot.
The super-standard LR5 laser rifle in his hand, which was directly produced by the black box, immediately entered an overload state. The rifle, which was directly powered by high-density energy crystals, fired a powerful attack.
At the same time, his comrades also opened fire.
Dozens of dark red light beams began to fly around among the low-temperature samples.
However, aside from the one shot by Lacrosha, which actually hurt his target, the other beams were blocked.
At the target point of the laser, the six four-armed lizardmen opened their eyes almost at the same time. In front of them, an invisible energy layer formed in front of them, blocking all the laser shots.
The beam of light created ripples.
The shot with the biggest ripples was the one Lacroxia fired after overloading the LR5. The power was much weakened, but it still penetrated. Although it was slightly deflected, it still hit the monster's abdomen, leaving a fist-sized through wound.
The monster was obviously seriously injured by this blow, but its movements slowed down immediately.
But the other five were not ambiguous at all.
The next moment, they all broke through the transparent glass of the petri dish and rushed out.
Then, hissing sounds echoed throughout the narrow and enclosed space, and they each pounced on a soldier.
Every soldier in the special brigade was trained to at least the T3 level. At this level, the cost of a single soldier was already quite high. Gu Hang only trained 100 such soldiers in total, forming a special operations squadron.
Once you reach this level, you will be absolutely elite and much stronger than ordinary soldiers.
Their current performance does not disgrace Gu Hang's investment.
When faced with the attack of a three-meter-tall, four-armed abscess lizardman, no one panicked, no one tried to escape, they all tried to fight back on the spot and made relatively correct choices.
Although they did not understand why the previous attack was blocked, it did not prevent them from quickly thinking that this might be some special defensive measure.
And since it is a defensive measure, nothing is unbreakable.
They chose to concentrate their fire, and after a calm round of volleys, they achieved the desired effect.
Lacroxia shot one monster dead himself, while the other soldiers concentrated their fire and shot another one dead.
But there were still three of them that rushed to them alive and tried to use their sharp claws to tear their bodies apart.
The soldiers who were approached fearlessly ejected the bayonets mounted under the laser guns and tried to engage in close combat with the lizardmen.
The difference in physical strength between the two sides is of course huge. Even after being raised to the T3 level, their physical fitness is almost at the peak of human beings, but compared with the three-meter-tall and strong four-armed lizardman, it is still a bit too far behind.
But exoskeleton armor helps them make up some of the difference.
In a pure power confrontation, the three people who were close to him were only slightly at a disadvantage; it was difficult for them to directly stab the bayonet into the lizard man's body, so they could only try to block. But the lizard man had four arms with sharp claws, and under the crazy tearing, the armor plates of the exoskeleton were torn apart.
What's even more terrifying is that in the close-range confrontation, they suddenly felt as if their bodies were immersed in a quagmire, making it extremely difficult to move.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, the lizardmen began to attack the head. One soldier's full-coverage helmet was actually taken off, and then his neck was torn open by sharp claws.
The gushing blood spurted everywhere.
But this was the extent of the results that these three remaining lizardmen could achieve in close combat.
Although the other two soldiers were also knocked down and attacked by strange energy, they were shot and killed before they could remove the exoskeleton armor plates.
The two soldiers successfully stood up again, and many deep scratches appeared on their exoskeleton armor plates.
The claws and strength of this lizardman monster should not be underestimated. Even the alloy armor plates with ceramic steel coating cannot completely defend against melee attacks.
Their ability to withstand attacks is similar to that of the green-skinned orcs; their strength in close combat may be even stronger than that of the greenskins.
The most terrifying thing is the strange power of thought that they possess.
After hearing the personal descriptions of the two soldiers who were knocked down, Lacroxia's face became solemn, and he muttered: "Could this be...psychic power?"
Compared with ordinary soldiers, he has read more information.
The protection provided by psychic energy allows these monsters to have vitality and defense comparable to that of green-skinned orcs, while also being able to achieve dual benefits in offense and defense.
Under their psychic protection, the LR5 in his hand had to perform an overload shot to penetrate; ordinary shooting would require more than ten shots to penetrate and cause casualties.
If they switched to ordinary G9 rifles… they were afraid that after one round of bullets, those monsters would slaughter them all, and they might not be able to kill the enemies with ordinary kinetic rifles.
Fortunately, the intensity of their psychic powers is not very high. During active attacks, they can only be used to influence the actions of soldiers. They have not yet shown direct killing capabilities. Compared with the terrifying power that the Governor has demonstrated, it is far from it.
However, Lacroix was still full of worries.
The team he led was considered the most elite individual fighters in the alliance, but they still couldn't gain an advantage against this lizard monster with psychic powers.
What if, in a large-scale war, the number of these monsters reaches a certain level, and then they attack together with waves of ordinary deformed monsters?
It's unimaginable.
This information must be brought back.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly heard a cry of surprise from the combat team's communication channel, followed by his comrades' request for help: "This is Group F, requesting support! Requesting support! We have been attacked by a deformed monster!"
Lacroxia's face changed drastically!
besides!
This kind of lizard monster is not only discovered here, but there are also some hidden in places they have not explored yet.
And just now, some mechanism was obviously activated, causing a large number of monsters to be awakened.
His mood completely sank.
He didn't know how many psychic monsters there were in this research institute, and he didn't dare to think about how many of his comrades who came here with him could survive.
But when things got bad, he was able to remain calm.
"Everyone listen up, abandon all previous actions and break out. We will gather at the entrance!"
"All combat teams must report their positions at all times and speak up when they need support!"
"Group F, stay where you are. Group E is on their way to you!"
…
In the small town of the Singer, in an ordinary and inconspicuous house, there was a man with narrow cheeks and wearing a dark green robe, sitting on a chair with his eyes closed.
A man who looked like a researcher walked up to him and said, "President Gowaga, as you ordered, we have activated all the servants implanted with the 'Heavenly Gene'. All the lackeys of the Alliance will be buried underground!"
