Chapter 615: Biological Monstrosity
Grr~
Xie Wenchang"s struggle grew more intense and his thras.h.i.+ng movements filled the gigantic culture tank with a ma.s.sive amount of bubbles. Suddenly, a monstrous growl reverberated out the tank.
CRACK!
The tank, made of unique reinforced gla.s.s, instantly shattered and exploded as if a bomb had detonated within it. The green solution spattered in every direction, and a myriad of gla.s.s shards blasted out like bullets from a shotgun around the tank.
“Aargh!”
The workers in a hazmat suit standing within the vicinity were all struck by the gla.s.s fragments. It looked like a gunfight scene—people spun around in a slow-motion pirouette before collapsing in pools of their own blood. It took Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake by surprise, but he reacted quickly and immediately got down to avoid the hail of shards. Other than being spattered by the green fluid, he did not sustain any injuries. The Mei national was not as fortunate and laid on the ground, writhing and howling in pain.
Xie Wenchang stepped out of the culture tank and stood to his full height.
He had grown close to three meters tall and intimidating. Sinewy muscles covered his entire body, not unlike those on a dragon. There was a gray hue to his skin tone, and it glinted like metal. His arms had lengthened, making him resemble an ape. On both of his hands, sharp claws had formed, and they took the shape of curved blades. His talons were sharp, like those of a giant eagle, and the skin on his hands was coa.r.s.e and dry. His jawbone stuck out, making him look menacing.
The sight stunned Xiao Luo. Xie Wenchang looked more or less like one of the Tyrants in the dystopian flick, Resident Evil.
“Do you recognize me, Xie Wenchang?" Xiao Luo asked the beast.
Xiao Luo tried to communicate with Xie Wenchang, but the beast remained still and did not respond to his name.
“You fool, how could he recognize you? He listens only to me now, haha, haha…”
Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake stood up and clutched at his hurting chest, laughing like a maniac. He then pointed at Xiao Luo and instructed Xie Wenchang to attack. “Go, Number One. Rip him to shreds!” he ordered.
But Xie Wenchang did not seem to pay any heed to him. He was not responsive at all to that command and remained motionless.
“Gulp!”
The Mei national swallowed nervously. He began to break into a cold sweat—his greatest fear had come true. The process to create the ultimate genetically mutated soldier was still incomplete. All they had created was a biological monster that would not obey any commands. They have just released an uncontrollable beast!
Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake was indignant. He twisted his head to look and point at Xie Wenchang. “I said rip him to shreds! Number One, did you not hear me?” he scowled.
Xie Wenchang remained still and looked like he had turned to stone.
Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake was infuriated and walked right up to the beast and kicked him forcefully. “You idiot! I am the one who created you. How dare you ignore my command! Go, hurry and tear him apart, you idiot!” he yelled.
Finally, Xie Wenchang stirred. He turned his gargantuan body around and stared directly down at Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake with his glowering dark-green eyes.
Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake felt like a frog who had caught the eye of a venomous snake, and he had put himself in great danger. He shuddered and instinctively took two steps back. To gather his courage, he shouted at Xie Wenchang, but his voice was shaky. “I was the one who created you… I… I"m your creator. You h-have to listen to my orders…” he shrieked.
Before he could finish his last sentence, Xie Wenchang grabbed him by his head, and the sharp claws tore his head open, like a ma.s.sive knife cutting into his flesh. Fresh blood poured out ceaselessly from the wound. With a raise of its arm, the beast lifted Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake off the ground.
“ARRGH!”
The Ri Nation major general screamed out in excruciating pain. In the eyes of Xie Wenchang, the ultimate genetically modified warrior, he was nothing but a human-sized toy without any ability to retaliate. Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake forced himself to remain calm despite the immense pain. He pulled out his revolver and fired several shots into Xie Wenchang.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
But the bullets ricocheted off Xie Wenchang"s metal-like body. It was like he was firing at an armored vehicle, and the bullets did not penetrate and only created sparks.
After his transformation, Xie Wenchang had no fear of bullets. It was like being pelted with beans and caused him no pain or annoyance. He exhaled a breath of gaseous fumes as he reached out with the index finger of his other hand. The tip of his claw cut open Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s s.h.i.+rt, revealing the man"s hairy chest and abdomen.
“What are you doing? What are you trying to do?”
Although his head was held in a vice-like grip, Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake was still very much conscious, and now he began to feel a deep sense of fear.
“Haha, haha…”
A deep, raspy grunt came from Xie Wenchang"s throat. He gently tapped the tip of his index finger on Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s chest. It was akin to a surgeon using a sharp surgical scalpel, piercing it through the skin and slicing right through his flesh. Without stopping, the beast continued sliding it down toward the navel. Fresh blood poured out when that claw sliced open his abdomen.
“ARRGH!”
The pain intensified, as did Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s screams of agony. His body started convulsing violently and his eyes were wide open in shock.
Even Xiao Luo"s hair was standing on ends. The scenes from the Unit 731 movie were being reenacted right in front of him—right here in actual life. The h.e.l.lish wails of pain that echoed in his ear were frightful.
“Oh, G.o.d! Someone stop him!”
The Mei national shrieked in terror. He struggled to come to terms with what he was witnessing, for although he had dissected human beings before, he had never done so while they were conscious. What was being done to the Major General was gruesome—a thousandfold more terrifying than the Hua Nation"s death by a thousand cuts.
Xie Wenchang, now transformed into a beast, seemed to be enjoying this slow and painful death. His claw ripped open Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s abdomen, and the man"s entrails poured out.
Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s screams and struggle slowly died down. Blood poured from his nostrils and mouth, and his limbs were jerking involuntarily from time to time. Fresh blood was streaming out of his abdomen copiously and was dripping to the floor. He was not dead yet, but he was better off dead. He resembled a b.l.o.o.d.y corpse being hung up.
Xie Wenchang finally granted Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake release from his agonizing pain when he violently ripped the man"s heart out of his chest. In a last act of vengeance, he tore Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s body into two halves.
RIP!
Organs and entrails fell to the floor, and the air reeked with a pungent stench.
The transformed Xie Wenchang did not stop after he ended Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake"s life. He let out a raging roar and turned his attention to Xiao Luo. The beast charged ferociously toward him like a bull in a china shop. He was going feral.
CRACK!
The Mei national on the floor barely had time to react before Xie Wenchang stomped on his head, instantly crus.h.i.+ng it, and sending brain matter spewing out. His headless body writhed for those last moments before it became still.
Xiao Luo"s eyes widened when he saw the biological monstrosity—one that was almost three meters tall—turning on him. The beast charged and Xiao Luo instinctively crossed his arms protectively in front of his chest.
BOOM!
There was a dull thud, and a terrifying force swept through the area like a tsunami.
To his absolute horror, Xiao Luo realized that he could hold his own against this powerful beast. Xie Wenchang"s body was like a cannonball as it bounded forward, and the wind created by the speed of its movement whistled through the air.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The creature smashed through four rooms until it finally came to a stop after colliding with a thick, st.u.r.dy wall.
