The scene froze, and a creepy aura of terror spread among the crowd.
"Professor, where did they come from?" General Wells opened his eyes wide and looked at Professor Manli and asked as expected.
"General, the bright light just now was erupted from the 'Miracle Gate'." Professor Manli stared at the unknown creature that suddenly appeared in front of him.
Following Professor Manli's gaze, a large group of unknown creatures suddenly appeared in the open space in front of the laboratory. They were as big as elephants, with dark green bodies, three pairs of thick hind limbs, a pair of giant sickle feet, and a sharp sickle blade. It has a triangular head with a pair of compound eyes the size of volleyballs, as red as blood; below it is a mouthpart with three pairs of sharp appendages swinging frequently, making it look very hungry.
They seemed to have not yet adapted to the surrounding environment. They stood motionless in place, their compound eyes constantly moving, looking at the surrounding environment.
"Professor, what should we do now?" General Wells panicked and asked Professor Manley.
"Soldier, general, let the soldiers kill them quickly. If it's too late, we will be finished." Professor Manli looked forward timidly and shuddered.
There are a total of twenty-four unknown creatures. Their compound eyes provide keen vision, their thick hind limbs provide powerful maneuverability, and their giant sickle legs are sharp and powerful. Once activated, they are no small feat. They are killing machines.
Confirming Professor Manley's judgment, General Wells picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted: "The experimental area is under enemy attack, annihilate all unknown creatures."
Soon, a large group of soldiers poured into the experimental area, each holding automatic weapons and aiming at the group of unknown creatures in the center.
"GO, GO..."
"This area is about to become a war zone. You must retreat quickly."
“…”
The armed forces entered the scene, and the scientific researchers left in a hurry. The unknown biological group looked at the chaotic figures as if they had discovered prey and were ready to hunt. The war was about to break out.
"Da da..." Fierce gunshots suddenly sounded, and dense rain of bullets poured out. The group of unknown creatures were instantly overwhelmed by bullets fired from all directions.
"Puff puff..." Clusters of green blood flowers bloomed on the bodies of the unknown creatures.
The unknown creature made a miserable scream and was beaten back by endless bullets.
Seeing this, General Wells breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Professor Manley and said, "Professor, it seems there is no problem."
"No! The vitality of this insect-like creature should be very tenacious!" Professor Manli looked solemn and shook his head.
As soon as Professor Manli finished speaking, the giant insect creature that was stunned by the powerful firepower seemed to react, jumped up suddenly, and began to fight back.
There was a loud "bang", and a giant insect creature jumped seven or eight meters away, fell heavily in front of a group of soldiers, and slashed across with a huge scythe.
There was only a crisp "stab" sound, and the bodies of the three soldiers standing together were suddenly broken into two sections from the middle.
"Plop." There was a chorus sound, and the body divided into six sections fell to the ground in vain.
"Ah, ah, help!...!"
"help me!"
"God! Ryan!"
“…”
In an instant, the desperate howls of the three soldiers resounded throughout the laboratory, making everyone terrified. The consequences of being approached by such a giant insect creature were really scary.
"Da da..." The soldiers held the triggers of their machine guns firmly, pointing the muzzles at the giant insect creature in front of them, and kept retreating.
"Professor, it's too dangerous here. Let's leave quickly." Seeing the miserable state of the soldiers, General Wells' expression changed and he quickly urged Professor Manli.
"No, it will be fine if we stand still. The soldiers can deal with them." Professor Manli looked at the battlefield and shook his head with a pale face.
Hearing this, General Wells nodded and turned to pay attention to the battle situation.
The battle was very brutal. Once the giant insect creatures got close to them, the soldiers would either die or be maimed. With their huge sickle legs and huge bodies, they were completely creatures born for killing.
But the result was just as Professor Manli said, the soldiers who kept pouring in were overwhelming in numbers, and they quickly gained a decisive advantage, and the giant insect creatures were killed one by one by fierce firepower.
The fierce battle lasted for less than ten minutes. With the last gunshot, the experimental area returned to calm.
The green blood flowing from the corpse of the giant insect creature was highly acidic, the ground was "sizzling", soldiers with broken limbs, blood flowing into rivers, broken instruments and equipment, bullet casings everywhere... The scene was in a mess, and everything was desolate. .
"General, all targets have been killed." A young officer ran to General Wells, saluted with a military salute, and reported.
"How many people have we killed?" General Wells asked impatiently.
"Because we are not adapted to the opponent's fighting style, our reaction was caught off guard..." The young officer's face darkened and he replied in explanation.
"I have seen the situation. Just tell me the casualty statistics after the war." General Wells looked at the young officer expressionlessly and interrupted.
"General, it is confirmed that 15 people have died and 27 have been seriously injured. It is expected that 18 of the injured will have severe disabling injuries..." The young officer gave a military salute and answered in detail.
Hearing this, General Wells's expression turned very ugly. For a moment, he was unable to digest the news of such heavy casualties.
The fact that so many people were injured and died seems to be related to his insistent orders. Professor Manli made a sound to organize the continuation of the experiment.
"Go down! Arrange the post-war work." General Wells took a deep breath and ordered with a somewhat helpless expression.
"Okay, General!" The young officer responded, turned and left.
After watching his subordinates leave, General Wells turned to look at Professor Manli and asked, "Professor, what should we do next? Will something like this happen again at the Miracle Gate?"
"I don't know. I can't answer the situation of the 'Miracle Door'." Professor Manli shook his head, looked at General Wells, and said, "However, I am sure of two pieces of news now, one good news and one bad news."
"Professor, please tell me." General Wells perked up.
"The good news is that we should not encounter alien civilizations with more advanced technology than ours." Professor Manli said with a somewhat relaxed expression.
"Huh?" General Wells responded in confusion, waiting for Professor Manley to answer his question.
"This kind of giant insect creature should be a social creature like ants. It is so huge and has such powerful killing ability. It is definitely a creature at the top of the food chain. It is impossible for a planet with such a creature to develop civilization. For more specific information, I need to dissect them to find out," explains Professor Manri.
After hearing Professor Manley's words, General Wells breathed a sigh of relief and continued to ask: "What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is that the question you just asked, General, is that the 'Gate of Miracles' may have been activated by us. We don't know when the next transmission will start, and we don't know what kind of creatures will be transmitted." Professor Manli called. Shivering, he said with great fear.
General Wells' expression changed and he said solemnly: "Understood, I will report this matter to the president immediately."
