The fully-armed soldiers gathered together in a semicircle and pulled the triggers with all their strength. Bullets flew out of the barrels and shot at the expanding and deforming flesh monster.
The bullet casings that fell off the gun fell onto the solid marble floor and danced around the feet of the soldiers like splashing raindrops.
In the lab, the intense gunshots instantly drowned out all other sounds.
Faced with the rapid fire of bullets, the flesh and blood monster was knocked back again and again. The bullets spun and drilled into its slimy body, creating huge bloody holes. Mucus flowed out of these bloody holes and quickly spread out on the marble floor.
After all, flesh and blood could not resist the metal storm. Although it tried to evolve a shell-like stratum under everyone's eyes again and again, it was shattered by the bullets time and time again.
In the end, it continuously released several hurried and violent cries. Not hesitating at all costs, it forcefully evolved two long legs covered in mucus from its flesh, and then immediately borrowed the astonishing jumping force of the long legs to rush left and right, avoiding the group of fatal bullets.
It was very smart and soon realized that the bullets were aimed at it. So, it gathered the last of its strength and chose the nearest path to charge straight at the semicircle, trying to break out of the encirclement.
The well-trained soldiers moved their muzzles as soon as the flesh monster moved and sprayed all the bullets as fast as they could. The bullets interweaved in front of the flesh monster and formed an insurmountable barrage.
The flesh monster seemed to be going all out. It was extremely fast. Although its body had taken too many bullets and the speed of its evolution could not keep up with the speed of tearing, the mucus kept flowing out.
When its sharp legs pierced through the bodies of two soldiers and finally rushed out of the semicircle, perhaps because there were too many bullets in its body, it hit an instrument and fell to the smooth floor while twitching violently.
It tried to get up and stomped on the ground with the two legs that had just evolved. It hissed but could not stand up again.
In the back row, the second echelon of guards had been waiting for a long time. Concentrated bullets rained down on the monster's head. As they fired, they pressed forward with their assault rifles, shortening the distance between the muzzles and the monster and increasing their shooting accuracy until they were completely surrounded!
The flesh monster was dying, but it was still trying to make the final evolution, as if it could get out of danger once it succeeded.
It could be seen that it was desperately evolving its brain, just like the fast growth scenes in the movies!
"Wait!" Professor Sun, who was completely "conquered" by the rapid evolution, hurriedly rushed out from the group of white coats and shouted, "we can't let it die! Otherwise, our comrades who died will die in vain! "
The soldiers did not respond. Although they were the guards of the laboratory, they still belonged to the military system, and they only listened to the orders of their superior officers. They might respect Professor Sun, but no one dared to stop shooting.
"Stop shooting!" Officer Wang glanced at his superior who only had a pair of feet and a skeleton left on the ground and immediately gave the order.
The flesh and blood monster was about to die, and the danger was gone. If he didn't give the order to stop shooting, the higher-ups would definitely blame him if they really killed it.
At that time, Major General Wu prohibited the killing of flesh and blood monsters. Many soldiers on the scene heard it. If that thing really died under his command, even if he had no choice but to do so due to the drastic change in the situation, it was hard to guarantee that his competitors would not make things difficult for him. This kind of thing had always been difficult to explain clearly.
Once the monster was dead, there would be no proof. He would only need to say, "How can you be so sure that you can't capture it alive?" That would overturn any interpretation of his report.
Officer Wang had been in the army for many years and had been in the military camp and officialdom until now, so he naturally had his own intelligence and calmness.
His order was much more powerful than Professor Sun's. The gunshots stopped immediately, but the soldiers still maintained their shooting positions, and the muzzles were not even half an inch away from the monster.
Professor Sun and a group of people in white coats hurriedly rushed forward, shouting to get the box and to inject the anesthetic. There were also some friends of the deceased who were crying beside the body.
Chu Yunsheng stood on the side, still in shock. The hall was very chaotic. No one came to control him, and no one came to restrict his freedom. Only the girl named Yingying kept following him, holding the corner of his white coat and never letting go. Probably because she was scared, her whole body was still trembling.
Chu Yunsheng didn't have time to care about her. His attention was all on the monster. From his point of view, he could only see a pool of mucus and the monster twitching unwillingly through the gap between the soldier's legs.
At this point, it still didn't seem to give up the final counterattack. It was still desperately evolving its head, as if once the evolution was completed, it would be able to reverse the situation.
Although Chu Yunsheng was afraid of its ferocity and bloodthirst, he also had to admire its tenacity and unwillingness to give up.
"Is this the invasion of the ferocious creatures from a different dimension mentioned in the ancient book?"
Chu Yunsheng shuddered, and suddenly, such a thought came into his mind.
As if to verify his idea, the flesh monster, whose head was crazily evolving, hid in the gap between the mouthparts. The sarcoma-like crazy growing head was getting bigger and bigger, and every nerve line could be seen clearly. The half-formed mouth also appeared, and the blood vessels on the sarcoma-like sarcoma-like body were pulsating. It seemed that it was about to succeed!
But at this critical moment, at the climax of the evolution, as if it was only one step away from breaking through some kind of critical line, its head suddenly exploded, as if it couldn't be allowed to exist in this world and must be erased. Like a rotten watermelon, it burst into pieces and spread all over the ground.
There was even a piece of rotten meat that flew over everyone's heads and landed not far in front of Chu Yunsheng. The girl behind him was so scared that she screamed again.
"What's going on?" Chu Yunsheng had to admit that the old man surnamed Sun was too bold. He even dared to rush to the monster's body and said anxiously while turning it over. If it was Chu Yunsheng, he wouldn't do that. He would rather die than to get close to the monster.
Another young and bold man in a white coat was holding an instrument, piercing the flesh monster's body. After examining it for a moment, he said loudly, "the cells have stopped dividing, and a large number of them are dying!"
"Quick, think of a way!" Professor Sun left the monster and rushed to a test table. He rummaged through the cupboard and took out a few test tubes, and then skillfully injected the monster.
But the human medicine seemed to have no effect. It couldn't stop the flesh monster from dying. More than ten minutes later, they had to announce that the unknown flesh monster was dead.
…
That night, the military blocked all the crime scenes, and formed a joint investigation team composed of the white coat scientists and the military. They watched the video records of the whole incident overnight, and all the people involved were not allowed to leave.
Chu Yunsheng was also forced to stay in the laboratory building, together with the girl named Yingying.
Although the phone was not confiscated, the signal was blocked. Chu Yunsheng couldn't contact Yu Xiaohai, and he didn't know whether he had brought his backpack back or not.
If he lost the ancient book, he would be completely finished!
Hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of dinner, Chu Yunsheng found a place where no one was around and sat down. Things were getting out of his control, which made him very uneasy.
He had always been a person who acted according to the plan. He always wanted to be safe and not make any big trouble.
But since last night, a series of strange things had happened, forcing him to find out what was going on.
Why did he have a vague memory of the devil when he woke up?
Why did he feel that there was a shadow behind him?
Was the bloody face in the mirror an illusion, or did he really see it?
Also, why did he always feel that some people, although it was the first time he met them, he felt that they were familiar?
What did the monster's voice mean!?
…
"Can I sit here?"
Chu Yunsheng looked up and saw that it was the girl named Yingying. He didn't know when she found him. It seemed that she had just washed up, and her eyes were slightly red and swollen. Judging from her pale face, he could tell that she was hiding somewhere and crying.
"Sit down, this is not my place."
Chu Yunsheng was angry that she got him involved in this. Because of this, he almost got killed by the monster. No matter how good-tempered a person was, it was impossible for him not to be angry.
What the hell was this?
If it weren't for the girl's background, Chu Yunsheng was even prepared to "teach" her a few words. That road was not the main road, how could she drive like that? How could she drive that fast!? Did she not take her own life seriously, or did she not take other people's life seriously?
Wasn't this immoral and harmful to others?
Of course, when the words were about to come out of his mouth, he swallowed them back. If he couldn't help it, he would be in big trouble. 'I'll wait for two more months, let's see how long you can be arrogant!'
Chu Yunsheng comforted himself in his heart.
"My name is Song Ying." After the girl sat down, she said carefully.
She also wondered why she had to be "careful". If it wasn't for the car accident this morning, they might not have crossed paths for the rest of their lives. In terms of courage, the man's performance just now was no better than his. The monster had been dead for a long time, but he still took a detour. He was even worse than those weak doctors in white coats.
Not to mention other aspects, such as appearance, temperament, speech, etc., none of them were above the normal level.
But she didn't know why, in the chaos just now, when she fell down, she seemed to have an illusion. She felt that both she and the monster had a soul-shaking awe and fear towards this man.
Moreover, what was even more strange was that she was obviously afraid of him, especially his eyes, but she also wanted to get close to him, as if there was an inexplicable sense of security around him.
Song Ying was actually very good-looking, especially those two delicate eyebrows, which seemed to be frowning but were not frowning. When the eyebrows lightly fell on her fair skin, it gave men the urge to kiss it.
But Chu Yunsheng believed that she was a disaster. Although she was good-looking, she was also a source of trouble. Initially, he didn't want to talk to her too much. But then he thought about it, if she looked familiar to him, would she also look familiar to him?
Perhaps he had really met her somewhere before! Then it wouldn't be an illusion.
So he leaned forward slightly, focused his eyes, and looked at the girl's eyes seriously. He stared at her pupils, trying to find a trace of familiarity.
Under his intense gaze, the girl's eyes were filled with panic. She didn't even dare to look at Chu Yunsheng's eyes.
"Look at me, don't move." Chu Yunsheng gradually had a feeling that he was about to catch a vague shadow, but there was a thin veil between them. For a moment, he was in a trance, which made him forget the girl's scary identity.
The girl panicked even more. She had never felt like this before. Except for her father, no one had ever given her so much pressure, let alone a commanding tone.
She bit her lower lip anxiously and twisted her body. Her intuition told her that she should immediately stand up and leave this place, and stay far away from this man. But it was like there was a huge force pressing her down on the chair, and she couldn't stand up no matter how hard she tried.
Chu Yunsheng felt that he was getting closer and closer to that thin veil. It seemed that he was only one step away from awakening her memory. But the girl was also getting more and more restless. In order to hold her down, Chu Yunsheng unconsciously stretched out his left hand, pinched the girl's soft chin, and said, "have we met somewhere before?"
The girl was terrified. She wanted to struggle, but when she saw Chu Yunsheng's eyes, she seemed to have lost all her courage and strength. She was so anxious that tears were welling up in her eyes.
Her panicked expression made Chu Yunsheng feel like he had poked a gap in the veil. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and he was about to remember! He shouted excitedly, "I remember!"
"What are you doing? Let her go! "
Just at this critical moment, a louder roar came from outside the door, and then a burly figure rushed in like a whirlwind and grabbed Chu Yunsheng's collar from the back.
