Chapter 368 An Army of Genetically Synthetic Creatures from Another World! (Please Subscribe)

Seeing that the finishing work was going very smoothly, Wu Mudi finished giving instructions and asked the adjutant beside him.

"There are quite a few enemies this time. Let's calculate their deployment frequency and confirm the personnel on duty and their frequency."

"good!"

Wu Mudi thought for a moment and then asked, "Regarding the information we asked you to investigate before, how many visitors from different worlds have been confirmed so far?"

""

"General Wu, based on the scientists' analysis of the genetic maps of all the hunted specimens and the analysis of the elemental content of the enemy's equipment, there are at least five visitors from other worlds in the area we currently control, two of which are inhabited by intelligent races. They are invading our forest territory primarily for killing."

"The first world is inhabited by low-intelligence goblins, who are incredibly cruel and greedy! The newly emerged chaotic Western fantasy world is inhabited by a highly aggressive race! Some traces of the goblin world can still be found, but the chaotic Western fantasy world has appeared in a spacetime rift within our territory, and we cannot locate it for the time being."

"As for the underlying motives, whether it was an organized intrusion, we haven't gathered many clues!"

"Even those elves couldn't extract the corresponding memories from the invaders' minds?"

"There's no way around it. The elves' mind network is mainly for their own kind. When it comes to others, it's mostly for interference and manipulation. It's not very effective against those chaotic Western fantasy races with high magic resistance."

"By the way, some chaotic Western fantasy groups have even repeatedly attacked elves!"

"This is really a headache!"

A rather somber atmosphere settled over the operations room.

"Has the science team gotten any leads?" Wu Mudi asked again.

"Report: Still no useful information found! Those guys are completely different from the elves and dwarves of this world."

After we took them under our control, they went into a state of frenzy and were completely unable to communicate! The genetic science team, however, replied that they would give us new information soon.

"Finally, we've made some research findings!" Wu Mudi rubbed his temples, looking exasperated. "If it weren't for our army of robots, who knows how much we would have lost in the future!"

There are just too many uncertainties on the road to pioneering.

They thought they were just here to explore and develop this world.

Who knew that just one year after development began, the celestial convergence occurred, bringing with it a large influx of creatures from other worlds, including intelligent beings.

Some low-threat creatures are alright; they panic when they arrive here, and at most, they clash with the local ecosystem.

However, some organized and autonomous intelligent beings are extremely annoying.

The goblins are an inexhaustible race. These creatures possess some intelligence, are extremely cruel and cunning, and have an insatiable thirst for blood.

The creatures of the newly emerged chaotic Western fantasy world are just as formidable!

Under normal circumstances, at least in common human understanding, minotaurs should be strong, powerful, and have excellent strength. Elves are agile, while goblins and ogres are also stereotyped.

However, in this chaotic Western fantasy world, minotaurs are highly agile and have high attack power. Elves are physically strong and powerful. And ogres are simply enlarged versions of monsters.

As for the goblins—damn, they directly became commanders!

That's outrageous!

The pioneering team is now unable to lock onto the spacetime rift or the enemy's home base, and is bogged down in a counterinsurgency war. They have also dramatically transformed from visitors from another world and pioneers of a new world into guardians of this world.

It was quite dramatic.

Of course, it's also quite frustrating.

This is the price to pay!

Since humanity desires to consume the fruits of another world, it must bear the consequences of that other world.

If it weren't for the fact that humanity recently discovered a lot of good stuff from the invaders from another world, it would have definitely turned into a chaotic and messy war.

Wu Mudi took a deep breath, adjusted his mindset, and paused before continuing to speak.

This time, his tone became much heavier: "Give more support to the front lines and make sure to ensure the logistical treatment of the wounded!"

Also, let me urge the scientists again: the frontline soldiers need to confirm the questions surrounding those confused Western fantasy races!

"yes!"

Another world, a spacetime portal area, a research team, an otherworldly biological research institute.

Behind the thick, special glass wall, a gigantic ogre was pinned down on an alloy operating table by dozens of large mechanical arms.

The opponent was very strong, but it was still flesh and blood. The hydraulic device controlling it emitted a dull hum, and with each tightening, the knotted muscles under its rock-like skin became even more taut.

Wearing a biological lab coat, Deng Dakang stood with his hands in the pockets of his white lab coat, staring blankly at the monitor screen. Only the occasional twitch of his eye betrayed his inner turmoil.

On the screen, fully armed soldiers ensured that the device wasn't causing any noise pollution and that the research equipment was safe.

Meanwhile, the researchers are disassembling what appears to be a sophisticated but dangerous machine.

The laser scalpel cutting through the epidermal tissue swept across, raising a wisp of burnt blue smoke.

Even with a mask on, the nervousness of a young female master's student as she uses a saliva collection probe is still evident.

Just as they were about to approach the other, the ogre immediately let out a sharp roar.

sizzle ————

What awaited them was an electric shock that even an elephant couldn't withstand.

The ogre let out a miserable howl, then its eyes turned crimson and its mouth opened.

The female master's student carefully used an extended cotton swab to insert into that giant mouth full of fangs to conduct a nucleic acid test.

After the saliva was collected and cleaned, the other party quickly left.

Another group of people were still carefully handling the pile of foul-smelling excrement with long-handled samplers.

"roar--!"

The cannibal let out a defiant, incredibly frustrated roar, a sound wave much louder than a groundhog's scream, which made everyone frown.

Even special glass can feel like it's buzzing and vibrating.

It seems that its chrysanthemum excrement is its Achilles' heel. It becomes agitated!

An electrical surge attempts to interfere with the other party.

But this guy struggled like a madman!

Beneath the cannibal's exposed dark gray skin, muscles writhed like steel cables, attempting to break free from the heavy mechanical shackles, but only producing a series of grating metallic noises in vain.

"What powerful muscles!" exclaimed a round-faced researcher with a full beard and a Sichuan accent.

He tapped the other person with his knife: "Tsk tsk, as hard as a rock!!!"

"Alright, let's go, let's go! We need to feed him later."

"Okay!"

After completing all this, the soldiers and researchers who had collected the samples quickly evacuated.

Soon, the massive mechanical steel doors began to close, and a series of soft clicks of mechanical unlocking echoed within the isolation chamber. Then, the shackles and chains binding the ogre's neck were loosened to a limited extent, giving it some room to move.

Immediately afterwards, the feeding chute in the ceiling slid open, and several lively monkeys bounced in through it.

Screams erupted in the isolation room, and the monkeys were still a little dazed after landing.

But soon, they bristled.

A monkey bared its teeth at the enormous creature in fear.

Upon seeing this, the other monkeys immediately gathered together and made threatening noises at the cannibal.

A cruel glint flashed in the ogre's scarlet eyes. Its enormous hand swiftly scooped up the most arrogant monkey, giving it no chance to react, and shoved it into its gaping maw.

The crisp sound of bones breaking, accompanied by the wolfish chewing, sent chills down one's spine.

The remaining monkeys scattered and fled in all directions.

But it was quickly caught up by the ogres and devoured.

Deng Dakang watched all this expressionlessly until the cannibals had finished eating all the food, then he turned his head and asked, "How's the collection going?"

A young researcher immediately handed over a data panel and reported to his supervisor in a low voice: "Engineer Deng, the data is in. After the disarming compound injection was stopped, the experimental subjects' emotional thresholds significantly rebounded. Although they were still irritable, they were no longer exhibiting indiscriminate mania. Cell activity tests also showed a slight decrease of 3.2 percent."

"It's pretty much as I expected."

Deng Dakang turned his gaze back to the isolation room.

The ogre was savoring what it had eaten; the food was clearly not enough to fill its stomach.

"We also collected cells from the previous live specimens of the strange tauren, night elves, and goblins to compare the cell decay curves."

"good!"

Deng Dakang pulled up a new surveillance video, which showed another biological isolation room.

Inside the room, a rather shocking scene was unfolding.

The N-value of a normal person would definitely drop after watching the surveillance footage!

The two night elf captives were torturing their fellow human beings with an almost pious fanaticism.

They've come up with all sorts of creative ways to inflict torture on people.

They are adept at things that humans cannot even imagine.

The tortured night elves did not scream, but only let out a chilling roar that was a mixture of pain and ecstasy.

People at the biological research institute are used to this kind of scene.

These night elves are torturers; they will torment enemies, allies, friends, and colleagues alike, given the chance.

Killing is their instinct, and torment is a cruel desire etched into their genes.

This is the fundamental reason why they can no longer be called intelligent beings, but rather dark beings.

Inside the containment chamber, the shackles binding the night elves began to tighten, followed by the control chains that began to restrain them.

Then—collecting samples, analyzing data, recording behavior—the whole process is smooth and efficient, as cold and ruthless as analyzing the pass rate of finished products on a factory assembly line.

After verification, humanity deprived these incredibly cruel and dark creatures of their human rights.

Because they have no fear or compassion like normal living beings; they only have a cruel desire to kill and destroy.

From the second phase of the celestial convergence onwards, blood was being shed on the front lines, and those wearing white coats practically treated the laboratory as their home.

The psychology team was the first to be defeated when dealing with these dark creatures.

They tried to establish communication, search for logic, and even unearth myths and legends from ancient archives in an attempt to understand their behavioral patterns.

The results of it?

It was all for nothing.

Those psychology experts almost turned themselves into patients needing psychological counseling.

One recent PhD graduate even suggested at the end of his report that people should perform a thorough physical exorcism for this type of creature.

These creatures that crawl out of the cracks cannot be understood using common sense.

They are cunning and cruel; it seems their minds are filled with nothing but killing and torture.

These guys can pull off any bizarre game that humans can imagine with ease. And they can give you a live seminar on things that humans can't even dream of.

When they were locked together, their behavior differed from that of the elves and dwarves who helped each other.

There were no scenes of elves and dwarves encouraging each other after being captured, only the strictest hierarchy.

They took the natural law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, to an extreme, with methods so cruel that even the recorders had to undergo regular psychological evaluations.

Just as Deng Dakang was about to switch to the next monitoring screen, the laboratory door was pushed open, and Professor Zhong Zhenguo, whose hair had turned much whiter but who was still in good spirits, walked in.

This leading figure at the biological research institute has been extremely busy lately.

"Old Deng, I have good news." Zhong Zhenguo handed over a data tablet, his face not showing much of a smile. "The DN analysis results for the goblins are in, just as we guessed, confirming that they have been tampered with."

Deng Dakang took the data tablet and quickly browsed through the densely packed analytical data on it, his brows furrowing in worry.

"Why----"

"We should have thought of this from the moment we discovered that the brains of these alien races had undergone mutations," Deng Dakang sighed and said in a low voice.

His voice carried a weariness and confusion, as if he had just solved a puzzle.

"All the clues were laid out on the table from the beginning, but we just couldn't believe them. But there's only one truth! And we don't even know what these races were like before!"

He looked at the Night Elf's genetic map, where the key segment representing longevity was brutally locked by a bizarrely structured genetic chain.

That gene fragment belongs to a typical long-lived race, but because the gene was targeted and modified, their lifespan was greatly reduced, in exchange for short-term physical enhancement and endless aggression.

This change is definitely not a natural evolution; it's the production of consumables.

Zhong Zhenguo looked at the night elves on the monitor screen and sighed, nodding, "What was originally a high-quality timber with unlimited potential has been forcibly compressed into low-quality consumables that burn up in three days. The rulers of that world must be extremely cruel!"

Such a civilization can never be peaceful!

"yes."

Deng Dakang nodded with a complicated expression until Zi Guang saw the sample data of the cannibal.

Humans have long had a comprehensive understanding of these monsters that pass through spacetime rifts.

Those young cannibal individuals have very clean genomes and very few mutations.

Even some cannibals are unable to activate outrageous abilities like energy shields.

Older ogres with older skeletal ages have bodies that are like a genetic melting pot, containing all sorts of random enhancements.

If cannibals are an isolated case, then minotaurs are even more extreme.

Through genetic analysis of the Minotaur, humans discovered that the values ​​used to enhance strength and physique decrease sharply with age, while the curve representing neuronal complexity strangely rises a second time in the later stages.

This is also a kind of reverse growth that goes against the laws of nature.

It's likely that in their youth they were purely heavy infantry, but as they aged and their bodies weakened, their brains underwent a second development, transforming them into agile units.

In nature, no species would optimize itself in this way.

Even if one were to optimize their own genes, they would never use such primitive weapons.

Given their ability to manipulate genes, they possess at least biological weapons, or perhaps energy weapons, and exhibit signs of industrialization.

Humans discovered that the clothing and equipment of the Tauren and Night Elves did show signs of industrialized life, but the quality was questionable.

After a long silence, Zhong Zhenguo finally spoke: "Old Deng, have you analyzed the potions seized from those strange dark creatures?"

Deng Dakang's lips twitched: "Those aren't healing potions, they're more like combustion potions!"

A few days ago, when humans were dealing with the dark creatures, they were fortunate enough to seize a lot of their medicines.

Then humans discovered that the other party's medicine was strange; it seemed to be able to stimulate potential in a short time, but at the cost of permanent damage to cell structure.

Moreover, the biological compounds in them can modify their genes effectively and for a long time.

The abnormal growth patterns of other groups, their inability to communicate and their madness, and the drugs that could catalyze their destruction all point to a rather bad discovery: these guys might be modified biological weapons, cannon fodder that cannot communicate!

"President Su has been urging us several times, and the guys on the front lines are also waiting for a detailed report." Zhong Zhenguo sighed, then hesitated, "Should we send all these findings over? Or should we verify them a few more times?"

Deng Dakang's lips were tightly closed and his brows were furrowed. Not only was Zhong Zhenguo unsure about the problem he was reporting, but Deng Dakang himself was also unsure.

The conclusions presented on the data panel were simply too alarming.

He turned his gaze back to the monitor screen, watching the ogre listlessly scratching at the alloy wall with its claws, making a grating noise as it tried to escape. Then he looked at the night elves bullying the unfortunate captive—

"Let's get this sorted out first, then I'll go report to General Manager Su and the others!"

Deng Dakang's voice was not loud, but it was exceptionally clear.

"We've eliminated all the impossible options. So, whatever remains, however absurd it may sound, can only be the truth."

""

"Um!

"6

Twenty minutes later————

Inside the conference room, Deng Dakang's gaze lingered on the DN maps of several dark creatures and the discoveries made under the microscope.

Therefore, there is only one truth.

Deng Dakang's voice was exceptionally clear in the office: "We have reason to be certain that they are neither some otherworldly intelligent race nor creatures corrupted by evil gods."

"They are—special biological weapons!!!"

"A biological weapon designed from the very beginning, at the genetic level, and mass-produced on an assembly line."

"Biological weapons!?"

After he finished speaking, the staff officers present all frowned, while Su Mingjin rubbed her temples.

"Could there be a mistake?"

"Report: We initially thought we had made a mistake, but through the analysis of so many individuals, gene comparison, and the drugs we collected previously, we've confirmed that our analysis was correct!"

Meanwhile, Brigade Commander Man asked with a serious expression, "So, you mean there's absolutely no way to communicate anymore, and the only options are to kill the other side or be killed by them?"

"Yes!"

Commander Man breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'm relieved!"

"?"

Commander Man smiled and said, "This at least proves that the enemy launched an organized and planned attack on us, and their many illogical actions all prove that they have been here before."

"!!!"
