Changkong Fighter

Chapter 257 The Beasts Unleashed
With a sharp scalpel, the snake's skin was carefully and precisely cut open from the inside out, revealing a creature that looked remarkably like a "Bobbit worm."

As the expert robot from the University of Tokyo dissected the strange snake bit by bit, doubts arose in its mind, because there were no crystals inside the strange worm!

This alien creature, which carries its own neurotoxin, does not have any crystals in its body. Other disease-causing organisms, such as giant lice, lobsters, coconut crabs, and blue crabs, all have crystals on their bodies, which act like control devices. Only the strange insect does not have any crystals on its body.

"Are their actions based on instinct?"

"Yes. And their bodies are amazing. According to the data we obtained from experiments on the captured strange insects, they have a strong self-healing ability, just like earthworms. They can split when cut open, but of course, not vertically."

Because of this characteristic, multiple research materials were artificially "manufactured" in the high-security laboratories of the University of Tokyo.

Through continuous research, it has been discovered that these previously unknown creatures even possess a kind of "collective intelligence," communicating with each other in ways that humans do not understand.

In the research room on the other side, something even stranger happened. In the two completely isolated black boxes, the strange insects inside were "synchronizing" in some way, and could even "sense" the presence of their own kind.

How exactly do they communicate?

"It's still unclear; all we know is that it's not through pheromones, sound waves, or light."

"How do they reproduce?"

"Who knows? Maybe we could take earthworms as an example?"

Looking at the densely packed petri dishes, two-thirds of them were already in operation.

The Sharp Sword Squad suddenly had a bad feeling, and then they heard a strange sound, like something groping the ground.

Click!

The drone's flashlight shone in the direction of the unusual sound, and they saw a dark, constantly wriggling object approaching them.

The black "fluid" intertwined and quickly condensed into some kind of "entity." The bodies of the strange insects were intertwined like muscle bundles, and soon formed a humanoid creature that approached the sword.

"Fire!"

The Sharp Sword Squad immediately opened fire on the high-threat target.

Da da da!
Bullets of various calibers were continuously sprayed into the "monster's" body, tearing the monster's body apart. However, the damage was not fatal. As the "humanoid" creature's body writhed, the monsters that had been shot were squeezed out of its body.

Soon, not only the swords, but also the robot dogs and tracked drones joined the attack.

"Back off!"

Seeing that the bullets could not cause any effective damage, the platoon leader stepped forward and gave instructions: their mission was to enter the facility to find out what was inside, not to clear out and eliminate these creatures; that was for the drone corps to do later.

Under the constant barrage of bullets, the black anthropomorphic creature's size continued to decrease, and the corpses of the slain monsters were scattered on the ground. The fused body moved closer to the sword.

The platoon leader glanced at the thermobaric weapon on the gunner's back, considered the potential side effects of using it in a confined space, and suppressed the urge to use it. The gunner then pulled out a white phosphorus grenade from behind his back, pulled the pin, and threw it at the strange insect, still somewhat worried about insufficient firepower. Bang!
The white phosphorus grenade exploded, and burning white phosphorus chunks penetrated into the strange aggregate. Like a pot of boiling oil, the aggregate churned and rolled. Then, inside the unseen worms, a large number of worms devoured their kind that had been burned by the white phosphorus, thus resisting the flames.

"Really difficult to deal with"

The platoon leader looked at the constantly wriggling worm-like aggregate. Killing it wouldn't be difficult; a single blast with a powerful weapon would solve the problem. However, since they were indoors, they had to be cautious when using powerful weapons.

"No, what does it want?"

They initially thought the strange insect was trying to attack them, but its target wasn't the sword at all; instead, it was moving closer to the strange insects in the petri dishes.

Just as the polymer was near the petri dish, all the lights in the laboratory suddenly went out and then came back on the next second.

"what happens?"

The platoon leader immediately asked over the communications channel, as he was unsure of what had happened.

"The facility has activated its backup power!"

"Backup power? Is it controlled by someone?"

"No, the heartbeat detectors did not detect any living people inside the facility."

Before the platoon leader could ask any more questions, all the lights on the petri dishes and tanks in the entire experimental area changed color, the unknown liquid inside was discharged, and then all sorts of synthetic organisms were activated from standby mode.

The strange insects cloned in the petri dish leaped out of the culture tank and fell to the ground with a clatter. They then wriggled on the ground like leeches. After receiving a "message" that humans did not yet understand, these cloned insects rushed towards the aggregate and joined it. In the end, they merged with the aggregate, and their already shrunken size grew even larger.

Those creatures cloned by Pfizer, or created through biotechnology, are like containment entities that have broken out of the facility; they are extremely aggressive.

Da da da!
Bang bang bang!
The University of Tokyo's drones immediately engaged the physical entities, with bullets continuously striking them. Some entities were killed instantly by the ammunition they carried, while others showed strong resistance to bullets.

The "humanoid creature," completely encased in an exoskeleton, withstood the bullet attacks, the bullets embedding deeply into the exoskeleton and bursting out with juices of different colors.

The humanoid bio-weapon rushed in front of the robotic dog and slammed it down. The robotic dog was immediately sent flying, rolled on the ground several times, and then got up faster than a real dog could get up. It continued to fire the machine gun on its back, although one of its mechanical legs malfunctioned. However, the robotic dog could still continue to fight.

In the confined space, the special forces of Dongda University raised their QBZ192 short assault rifles and accurately eliminated various non-human entities with each shot. However, just as the platoon leader was about to say something, he suddenly found that his radio headset was filled with static and then lost the ability to communicate.

At the same time, all communications around the facility were indiscriminately jammed, and the radar system was cluttered. This change immediately caught the attention of the University of Tokyo Command Center.

"What happened?"

"Reporting to the commander, interference source detected. We are using triangulation to locate it; the location is inside the facility in Guam!"
