Chapter 273 273. I, a monster! (Subscribe)
An emergency strategic response center somewhere in Midnight City.

“This is a monster.”

Images from Midnight City appeared on the screen. They were creatures that only existed in human imagination.

It is a symbol of evil, the enemy of God and mankind, the ancient snake hiding in the Garden of Eden, a disaster, an evil spirit, and a great enemy.

The flames from hell were burning fiercely, and the extremely high-precision images could even show countless wailing human faces in the flames.

"A powerful monster."

As if to verify these words, the demon casually destroyed anything that blocked its way.

It was once a consensus among everyone that cyborgization was the only way to evolve. Human beings’ frail flesh could no longer withstand their wisdom, let alone fight against cyborgized warriors.

This used to be common sense.

But today, they saw what the supernatural is.

It is the embodiment of ancient mythology, the extension of legend, and the power that shatters common sense.

Faced with the flames from hell, humans are simply unable to resist. No matter whether they are special forces teams that have undergone rigorous training, or soldiers who have undergone cruel transformation and had most of their body organs replaced with military prosthetics, they will all be burned to ashes.

The crystallization of human wisdom, the strength standing at the top of the food chain, was so fragile in front of the demon that it was slaughtered with a single blow, and it didn't even take those guys that stood in its way seriously.

Everyone present could see that the devil's attitude towards other people was more like stones and dust on the roadside.

Who cares about the stones and dust on the roadside?
The answer is no one.

"But it was defeated by another, more powerful monster."

Everyone could see that the demon had been focusing on another being from beginning to end, and was killed by that other being.

A being that looks similar to humans, but is definitely not human.

The people present had an extremely accurate understanding of the human body.

Before prosthetics, the so-called human body would suffocate if it did not exchange oxygen with the outside world for five minutes. It was basically impossible to restore the missing limbs. It was difficult to sprint 100 meters in 12 seconds at full speed, and the maximum burst of power of the whole body would not exceed two tons.

The organism called the human body is still using crude chemical energy, and the way it converts energy into kinetic energy is terribly low.

This meeting was not only held in Midnight City. In fact, when major companies and governments learned about what happened in Midnight City, every force that was qualified to know about this matter held an emergency meeting.

Hundreds of men and women were running, countless people were flowing, moving in an orderly and organized manner for one goal.

A larger number of people were silent, staring at everything displayed on the screen. Large amounts of computing data kept rolling down from the side of the giant display, and the values ​​marked in red were constantly being revised upwards.

"The single-arm punch force is estimated to be 500 tons, and the instantaneous movement speed is 360 meters per second. The human body structure can withstand an impact force of 8,000 tons without any visible injuries."

“None of the above data has reached the limit.”

"The upper limit of neural reflexes and endurance cannot even be predicted. It is like a black hole, and there is no upper limit at all."

At this time, someone sent the latest data. "The energy readings of Unconfirmed Lifeform No. 2 are out. Here are the detailed test data."

Soon, pieces of test data were sent to the screen in front of everyone. After seeing this data, professionals who have studied energy science were first surprised, and then they couldn't believe it.

Soon, someone questioned this data.

“Which company presented this data?”

The person who spoke was an old man with wrinkles on his face. He was wearing a white coat, the most common coat worn by researchers. It was unclear whether he didn't care about his attire or because he was in a hurry, but his sleeves were stained with reagents of several different colors.

"William, is there anything wrong with this data?" There is nothing wrong with the data. People with relevant knowledge can quickly see that there is no logical error.

"Unconfirmed energy readings in Lifeform No. 2. According to the relevant data, the closest match is a large power plant."

At the end, he added, "Correction, it's large power plants in the plural."

A piece of information that was somewhat unexpected, but not completely beyond imagination.

The energy required to operate a monster-level body like that is undoubtedly astonishing. The energy readings clearly verified the researchers' speculation.

But this answer also raises more questions, namely where the other party's energy comes from, how it is converted, and how the body can adapt to that level of energy storage.

What is the structure of physical cells?
At this time, all the screens began to change, and half of Researcher William's body occupied half of the screen. "Okay everyone, now let's start the next task. Please submit your conclusions."

Following these words, people in front of the screens uploaded their data through the Internet and began to either check or fill in their respective opinions.

With a lot of systematic analysis and detailed understanding as preparation, each group was very efficient. In less than two minutes, all the groups completed their reports.

What finally appeared on the screen was a hook-nosed old man wearing a military uniform and a large number of medals on his chest.

His expression was obviously gloomy, but it was not directed at anyone present.

"Everyone, are you trying to tell me that there is a monster in Polar Day City that can take down an entire army head-on with conventional firepower?"

"And two of these monsters appeared in Polar Day City two hours ago?"

"One is a demon from religious mythology, so what is this one? An angel? Where are his wings and halo?"

"Or Jesus? Wasn't he nailed to the cross? What about the two holes in his palms?"

The continuous questioning revealed the uneasiness of the old man in military uniform. He knew better than anyone that if he faced a monster of this level, the only thing he would get on any battlefield that was not in an open area was a massacre.

A massacre without any resistance.

And they will be the ones to be slaughtered.

Even if strategic-level weapons are used, the opponent can reach supersonic speeds, so there is enough time to escape from the center of the explosion.

According to the data obtained from observations, as long as it is not hit directly by strategic weapons, the shock wave and high temperature cannot cause fatal damage to it.

But soon, the screen changed again, and this time an old man in a suit and tie appeared.

At this time, the chairmen of giant companies and even the president of the government appeared on the screens of almost every force.

Different leaders issued the same orders to their subordinates.

“Now, our task is to find the [correct] attitude and way to deal with it.”

He even deliberately emphasized the word "correct", as if he was hinting at something, yet also as if he was saying nothing.

But one thing is beyond doubt, various forces are trying or have already started to take action to contact Mo Hao.

Perhaps judging from the combat power, the opponent's danger is undoubtedly unacceptably high.

But on the other hand, various forces also saw extremely huge benefits in Mo Hao.

Enough to establish a new giant enterprise, or even a super enterprise that surpasses all giant enterprises.
