After all, the Gardner Mental Hospital is not located in the deep mountains or old forests, and the Venom Tanks and Spider Predator units themselves have the function of signal relay, so the communication signal is safe.
As the twelve spider-like predators entered the forest, video footage was soon fed back from each of them.
Remote control that is not within the field of vision requires switching the field of vision back and forth, which greatly weakens the flexibility of brain wave control, making it very difficult to perform micro-control.
Fortunately, the spider predator is a robot after all. Even if it does not use brain wave control, it has its own intelligent system, and it is no problem to command its movement and search through basic control commands.
Living things tend to be extremely sensitive to their "five senses". As long as they have a similar combination of eyes, ears, mouth and nose, even if it's just a few vague holes, they can usually be recognized at a glance in a variety of complex environments.
This is a stress instinct evolved from the survival of the fittest. Having five senses often means life, and in the wilderness it also means being a hidden predator.
The spider-like predator is certainly not a living creature, but its search system also has a similar image processing module. In a complex mountain forest environment, all images that make up the facial features will cause warnings and further identification, and will eventually be fed back to Xia Xu's smart glasses terminal.
Xia Xu quickly browsed through the feedback images, and soon manually eliminated most of the erroneous images and mountain search personnel, and finally stopped at the image feedback from Spider Predator No. 08.
In fact, he flipped over this image the first time he saw it, because it did not show a complete picture of the facial features, but only two black holes on the tree canopy.
Moreover, the area and spacing of the two holes are relatively large, which is disproportionate to the eyes of a normal creature. It is very likely that the resemblance is caused by the difference in light and darkness between the dense leaves.
Fortunately, he had taken the super brain controlled release tablets, so his brain's information retrieval ability was extremely strong. He had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu for the pair of "holes" as if they were human eyes, so he went back and confirmed it carefully.
"past."
The sense of déjà vu became stronger and stronger. Xia Xu's mind moved, and under his control, the spider predator 08 came silently under the big tree, and its eight sharp spider legs slowly moved up along the trunk.
The Arachnid Predator is a bionic mechanical spider, and its legs also have tufts of hair and secondary claws similar to those of a spider.
Although it is impossible to walk freely on a smooth 90-degree surface like a real spider due to body size, weight and technical factors, it is still possible to move slowly on a tree trunk with rough bark.
Like a true predator, it climbed up the tree trunk silently, and soon the spider predator 08 sneaked into the tree canopy and made eye contact with a huge creature that turned back in surprise.
The multispectral lens of the spider predator was naturally cold and without any fluctuations, but it recorded the fear and horror on the big face in every detail, revealing it clearly in front of Xia Xu.
This is a person.
However, perhaps a question mark should be put after this sentence.
Because this is a "giant" with an obviously abnormal body shape, estimated to be close to two meters and five centimeters tall, and extremely strong and muscular. His overall appearance is very similar to that of a human. The only abrupt thing is that his head is somewhat abnormally large in proportion.
"Be quiet and stay where you are."
An indifferent male voice came from the mechanical spider in front of him, which slightly relaxed the giant's nerves that were about to break, and then became even more tense.
I was relaxed because this mechanical spider could communicate and was controlled by someone, so it wasn't some weird creature.
The tension was also due to the fact that this mechanical spider could communicate and there was someone controlling it from behind.
who is he
Who is behind all this
What on earth is wrong with this world? How come there are even things like mechanical spiders that only exist in animations
Am I really crazy? Or has the world changed? Or is this what the world really looks like
…
"Let's go, we found it."
Ignoring the giant's panic and doubt about life, Xia Xu asked Arachnid Predator 08 to continue watching, and the other units quickly moved in that direction. At the same time, he also called on Grant and Atto to re-enter the forest.
As they moved forward, when the two men and the dog arrived at the place where the giant was hiding, the giant had already come down from the treetops and was surrounded by twelve spider-like predators.
"I told you to stay where you are and wait. I mean no harm."
Xia Xu said calmly as he walked out of the woods.
Just now the giant wanted to escape, but before he could go far he was stopped by a spider-like predator.
However, he did not actually take action. No one knew whether it was because he was afraid of the spider-like predator's appearance, or worried about attracting those who were searching the mountain, or maybe he was just a weak character.
"Who the hell are you!"
The giant's emotions were very unstable at the moment, and he looked like he was about to collapse. There was both fear and hatred in his eyes when he looked at Xia Xu and Grant.
"Relax, we are not from Gardner Mental Hospital, and we are not the enemy."
While Xia Xu was calming the giant's emotions, he used the most intuitive method and first checked the giant's attribute panel.
Name: Zhao Ming
Life Level: 1
Fate potential: [Supporting role: "Attack on Titan"]
Talent potential: Architectural design (1 star)
Special: Giant Gland T068 Experimental (1 star)
Obsession: Escape!
Favorability: 0
Giant Gland T068 Experimental Type (1 star): This target has been implanted with the T068 Experimental Giant Gland, and its body will grow abnormally. However, this type of experimental subject has been proven to be a failure, as its physical growth does not meet expectations and will cause abnormal brain deformities.
“Not the protagonist.”
After taking a glance at the attribute panel, Xia Xu was a little disappointed.
In fact, he had suspected that perhaps the protagonist of "Attack on Titan" had already been imprisoned in Gardner Mental Hospital, and might have appeared in the background as an experimental subject or something like that.
It is impossible to determine whether this is the case now, but at least the person in front of him is not the protagonist he hoped for.
However, the giant gland T068 in the special entry column indirectly verified his previous guess that Gardner was indeed conducting some kind of artificial gigantism experiment, and it had almost succeeded.
"Now, let me ask you the first question. How old are you?"
Due to the lack of the protagonist and the connecting characters in the early plot, Zhao Ming's supporting character fate is still not enough to unlock the plot summary, so if he wants information, he can only ask.
It was not appropriate to waste any more words explaining at the moment, so Xia Xu spoke out directly and forcefully.
"Ten... fifteen."
The giant hesitated and spoke weakly.
"???"
Grant looked shocked and couldn't help asking, "You are fifteen years old?"
"What are you yelling for? Don't scare the kids."
Xia Xu glared at him, but didn't feel too surprised.
According to Grant, the mutant werewolf was transported to the Magic City no more than a month ago.
Even if Gardner was able to develop the technology to reopen the epiphysis immediately after the mutant werewolf arrived, they must have done similar experiments before that.
If they want to successfully create giants before they have the technology to reopen the epiphysis, they can only use underage experimental subjects. Adults can only develop horizontally and become deformed obese patients who are only used as research attempts.
At least in terms of height, Zhao Ming is indeed a successful "giant". Even the development of gigantism has to follow the basic laws. It should not be possible for him to grow so big in just one month, so he can only be an early underage experimental subject.
"Your child is two meters and five centimeters tall."
Grant couldn't help but complain, but he didn't interrupt Xia Xu again.
Xia Xu continued to ask: "How did you escape? What's the situation inside Gardner? Is there anyone else with you?"
After asking three questions in a row, seeing Zhao Ming's fear and hesitation, he added: "Relax, we are official people, and we are here to investigate these bad guys."
"I... I escaped together with Hong Yan, Xu Zhaoxin and others, and also with Doctor Cui."
Under the official credibility, Zhao Ming hesitated for a moment and finally spoke.
"Doctor Cui? Which Doctor Cui?"
Xia Xu's expression changed slightly when he heard this.
"I knew he was Doctor Cui. That's what Hong Yan and the others called him."
Zhao Ming said timidly: "Doctor Cui is a good man. It was he who helped us remove the things that those people used to control us, so we were able to escape."
“Shit!”
After hearing this, Xia Xu couldn't help but curse inwardly, knowing that something bad had happened.
There are many people with the surname Cui, and there are also many doctors with the surname Cui, but in the plot of "Attack on Titan", who else but Cui Xinghua can help this group of people get rid of Gardner's means of controlling the experimental subjects.
Zhao Ming and his men relied on their physical fitness to break out and caused such a big fuss. How could Cui Xinghua get away with it
These people were obviously unable to protect themselves and fled in different places. It would be strange if they cared about Cui Xinghua.
"Where is Dr. Cui?"
Without having time to think about how Cui Xinghua recovered his surgical ability and pretended to be crazy to sneak into Gardner, Xia Xu hurriedly asked Zhao Ming about his whereabouts.
Compared to the unexpected surprise of the giant gland, Cui Xinghua was his main purpose. Not only was it needed for the second heart project, but Zou Jin and his entire family were also waiting to be saved.
Even without talking about these, there is absolutely no reason to miss a five-star talent. It is like the difference between an egg and the hen that lays the egg. If he loses the one because of this, he will be heartbroken.
