Chapter 387: Biological Weapon

“Strange.”
Inside the Boshi Tower, in the biological research lab.
After observing and a.n.a.lyzing the life sample of the three-headed monster, Jiu Han suddenly uttered the word “strange.”
He looked at the biological samples of the three-headed monster in his hand and turned to glance at the biological samples of the whale harvester he had studied before. He could not help but slowly frown.
“This is too strange…”
This was because through his research, he discovered that although these two things had completely different life forms, there were similarities in their genetic essence.
This similarity could definitely not be pa.s.sed off as a mere “coincidence of natural evolution.”
“It’s as if… whether it’s the anomalies or these three-headed monsters, they’re all biological weapons produced by the same technology…”
Jiu Han’s muttering was just a hint of insight, equivalent to a joke. However, after saying this, Jiu Han himself was stunned.
Looking again at the biological tissues of the three-headed monster and the whale harvester, Jiu Han could not help but narrow his eyes and say solemnly, “Could it be…”
A murky wave emanated from the black shadow, instantly transmitting to a distant place.
In another distant no man’s land, as this murky wave swept through, the earth began to undulate and tremble.
At this moment, the entire no man’s land seemed to be shaking and squirming, forming ripples… and the direction of the ripples was shockingly where Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord were.
Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord were unaware of these events.
The two of them just left the settlement to continue their exploration of the unknown.
But compared to the monotonous and dull days a few days ago, there was a trace of interest in their eyes at this moment.
They thought that this place was desolate and uninhabited, but unexpectedly, they found an abandoned settlement.
They thought that there was no danger here, but suddenly, a three-headed monster appeared.
Although to these two guardian-deities, the three-headed monster was pitifully weak and far from dangerous, it did indeed bring a bit of joy to their boring lives.
They even hoped for more of these three-headed monsters to appear, to alleviate the boredom of the journey.
And very soon, their wish was fulfilled.
In No Man’s Land.
It was probably nighttime.
Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord sat on the ground and ate the food placed in the lunch box in front of them.
To the guardian-deities, their need for food and water had already decreased to a terrifying level. Eating and drinking were just to pa.s.s the time, to satisfy their appet.i.te.
Just as Bai Zhe swallowed a piece of beast meat, the sound brought about by the wind made Bai Zhe’s mouth stop squirming.
He p.r.i.c.ked up his ears and listened carefully. Soon, he looked at the Desolate Demon Lord opposite him.
He saw the Desolate Demon Lord also put down the food in his hands, a smirk appearing on his face.
“Here’s the toy.”
As he spoke, he took the initiative to stand up and look behind him.
Bai Zhe also stood up and came to the Desolate Demon Lord’s side.
With the faint light from the luminous stones in their hands, the two of them could see the undulating black shadows not far away.
Like an army that obeyed orders, the densely packed three-headed monsters marched in unison in the direction of the Desolate Demon Lord and Bai Zhe.
“There are a lot of them.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Even with a rough estimate, there were nearly a hundred, and who knew how many monsters were hidden beyond the light?
“Moreover, it’s a little strange… These things cannot communicate and seem to lack rational intelligence. But judging from the way they are marching in formation now, they don’t seem to be simple monsters. Instead, they seem organized and disciplined…”
“They’re being controlled by something.” Jiu Han’s voice suddenly came from the Boshi Tower. Then, Jiu Han continued, “After the research, I have a speculation.”
“These three-headed monsters and the anomalies in the Dead Sea are all biological weapons produced by the same biotechnology, with differences in performance.”
“On the surface, the three-headed monster is the same as the monsters. They are all irrational and non-intelligent creatures that can’t be communicated with. However, if we look into their essence, they all have a set of behavioral logic unique to them. That is, they are all controlled by humans. The controller behind them is very likely the same person or the same faction.”
As soon as Jiu Han finished speaking, Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord looked at each other, speechless. However, the contempt on their faces from earlier was much less.
If these things were indeed derived from the same source as the anomalies… then they might be much more dangerous than what they had previously shown.
After a long time, Bai Zhe suddenly said, “Then, Mr. Lu, how do you want us to proceed?”
Soon, Lu Ming’s voice came from the tower again.
“Priority is to stay alive. 1 have a hypothesis that needs verification, but it will take time.”
Bai Zhe immediately nodded, “I understand.”
After Lu Ming spoke, Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord wasted no time.
The two of them decisively turned around and left, no longer intending to engage with the monsters any further.
Unbeknownst to them, a distant, indistinct black shadow had observed their actions.
He sneered, “Run? Where can you run to!?”
“In this true core layer, where else can you go!?”
Then, he took a step forward.
His entire body was like an illusion as he instantly fused into the ground and disappeared without a trace.
No one could see it, but at the location where the shadowy figure had vanished, a ma.s.sive ent.i.ty lurked silently underground.
It was motionless like an inanimate object.
However, after the black shadow person fused into its body, it abruptly opened its eyes!
A faint voice emanated from within its body.
“Hunter activated.”
“Stage one fusion… complete!”
“Stage one, deal with two transitional outsiders, that’s enough!”
Boom!
The ground, that even Lu Ming’s strength could not break, instantly exploded.
A grotesque monster over ten meters tall instantly crawled out of the ground and sprinted towards Bai Zhe and the Desolate Demon Lord.
Not far away, the moment the hunter activated and burst from the ground, Bai Zhe and Desolate turned abruptly to look behind them. They could now see the true appearance of the creature emerging from the ground!
It was entirely black, with scaled armor and a streamlined body. A long tail and well-proportioned limbs moved it forward like a wild beast. On its neck, it sported three heads resembling those of the three-headed monsters!
At this moment, the three smooth faces blossomed with visible malice. Black light shot out from its six eyes, instantly striking the Desolate Demon Lord’s body!
The demonic aura and the petrifying light frantically intertwined, canceling each other out. In the blink of an eye, the colossal creature named the Hunter had already pounced on the Desolate Demon Lord, instantly carrying him out of Bai Zhe’s field of view.
Bai Zhe frowned and was about to support the Desolate Demon Master when he saw the three-headed monsters not far away suddenly accelerate and rush towards him ferociously.
“You want to stop me with these things?!”
A sneer of disdain appeared on Bai Zhe’s face. However, before he could make any move, the ground beneath his feet shook violently.
In the next second, a ma.s.sive hole appeared instantaneously, swallowing Bai Zhe whole..”
