Chapter 256 Pfizer's Objective

On either side of the clean floor are rows of laboratories with different functions and sizes; the deeper you go, the larger the laboratories become.

The platoon leader glanced around, made a gesture, and ordered the robot dog and tracked vehicle to go first, sending the optical images to the command center at the rear.

Dissected giant lice and lobster samples were everywhere. The exoskeletons of the organisms were peeled off piece by piece, exposing the internal muscles. Various organs that looked like organs were taken out one by one and preserved by soaking them in a liquid that was not known to be formaldehyde. Some tissues were extracted, sliced, and stored in a temperature-controlled cabinet.

Pfizer is studying the physical structure of extraterrestrials. The University of Tokyo is doing the same thing, so if that were all, Pfizer wouldn't be so sensitive. The experts frowned slightly as they looked at the footage.

The closer they get to the interior, the more radical the research projects become, and the more violent their attitude towards extraterrestrial life. However, the largest creature they have captured so far is a lobster.

Then, after the team crossed an unseen line, the experimental subjects here changed from alien creatures to cyborgs.

Opposite the transparent tempered glass was a sterile room. Inside, on a hospital bed, a white man was restrained by straps. Due to his violent struggles, the straps had dug deep into the patient's skin, leaving it bruised and purple.

His hair was shaved off, but this wasn't seen through the top of his head; rather, it was inferred from the remnants of scalp at his temples. His skull was nowhere to be seen, but lines drawn on the top of his head could be vaguely discerned, suggesting that someone had cut open his skull.
Soon, a mechanical dog stopped, its optical sensors looking into a container beside it. Inside was a human brain with crystals inserted, immersed in formalin, allowing a clearer view of how the crystals controlled the human brain.

When a crystal is inserted into the brain, the surrounding cerebral cortex tissue seems to stick to it. Moreover, it's not just one crystal; crystals in different areas control different areas of the brain, much like inserting a driver program.

At first, things were normal, because the University of Tokyo was also researching how extraterrestrial civilizations control human brains. However, as they delved deeper, they gradually discovered that Pfizer's research had shifted from studying cyborgs to creating cyborgs.

In a laboratory resembling an operating room, a civilian is strapped to an experimental table. His shaved skin is marked with sections, clearly showing tools such as electric drills and chainsaws used to cut open the skull. Crystals are being picked up by machines and embedded into the brain. Pfizer is artificially creating cyborgs.

This made the experts raise their eyebrows; this behavior was utterly inhumane!

However, this was just the beginning. The deeper one went, the more inhumane the experiments became. They even tried to connect the upper body of a human to the lower body of a lobster and drive it with crystal. The laboratory was also marked with signs to prevent the spread of biochemical pollution, reminding people that there was biochemical pollution here.

"What do they want to do?!"

"They should be researching whether it can increase human lifespan," one expert said after thinking for a moment.

Currently, human lifespan is a constraint. Biotechnology can only extend human lifespan slightly, and 100 years old remains a hurdle. However, the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations has given biotechnology companies some other ideas, wondering if they can use the biological characteristics of extraterrestrial civilizations to find ways to extend human lifespan.

After all, the fairest treatment for humans right now is death. No matter how rich or poor or what their status is, everyone will eventually die. So how to extend human lifespan has become the main research direction for these biopharmaceutical companies. Of course, various viral weapons are also part of their research.

However, the deeper they went, the more "bizarre" the research in the innermost biological laboratories became. While the research in the earlier laboratories was relatively normal—even the "Pinduoduo" scenario involving humans and aliens could be considered somewhat normal—the contents of the three innermost laboratories caused the Sharp Sword Squad both physical and psychological discomfort. Inside a cylindrical container filled with an unknown liquid, a "creature" possessing characteristics of both humans and other biological forms rose and fell in the liquid. It had a human-like appearance, but was covered by an exoskeleton made of some kind of biomaterial, with long tentacles, and eyes protruding from their sockets, with two human eyeballs on the eye stalks.

Inside the second laboratory, alien creatures exhibited numerous human-like characteristics. In the third laboratory, a large number of crystals were scattered haphazardly on the experimental table, resembling a crystal production line. However, the items on the experimental table were nowhere to be found, and the door to this laboratory was open, as if something inside had escaped!
"alert!"

"laser!"

The Sharp Sword Squad immediately looked around warily, activated their laser sights, and fired green laser beams, scanning back and forth in the air.

They have a deep understanding of extraterrestrial life forms, and each of them is a master of optical cloaking. Considering the anomalies found in the ventilation ducts earlier, it's very likely that this laboratory, like in some blockbuster movies, has gone too far with its research, and the things inside have escaped.

Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, looking at the dilapidated state of this facility and the lack of funding, just like Fort Detrick, the biological leak was caused by management problems and insufficient funding!
"What's come out?"

"I don't know."

These records in the footage have already made Dongda want to kill. If it were just simple research on extraterrestrial life, Dongda wouldn't care too much. But Pfizer's research has already gone out of control!

The experts finally understood why Pfizer was in such a hurry to clean up its mess. In the current international situation, it's okay to conduct experiments secretly, but once discovered, you'll be hit hard. However, the laboratory's performance was really terrible.

How did the things inside the laboratory manage to escape?

"Immediately notify the US government to prepare to take action against Pfizer!" the old commander said coldly.

This kind of biological research is too dangerous; it could easily spiral out of control! In the battle against alien civilizations, internal problems would have consequences that Todai cannot tolerate, and could even cause the entire front to collapse.

"Sharp Sword calling command: Anomaly detected!"

"This is?"

After passing through the final laboratory, the sword arrived at a place that looked like a storage warehouse. However, instead of goods, the warehouse contained cylindrical culture tanks like those in the movie, and inside these tanks were twisted "monster snakes".

These strange snakes were still alive, writhing and twisting in the culture tank.
