"How could this happen?"

In Zero's hand, a dagger made of overlapping bone fragments slashed the researcher's body from the back. After pulling away the back muscles, Zero found that the researcher's body had no other organs except the bones. This is obviously completely different from ordinary organisms, and organs mean functions for organisms. Different organs correspond to different functions, thus providing organisms with various abilities.

However, there are no organs in the researcher's body, and Zero has no way of knowing how his life-sustaining system works. If he is also a kind of life.

It's a pity that the researcher has been headshot by Zero's first shot, and the second burst attack of the bony bullet turned the researcher's head into fragments, making it impossible for Zero to know his internal structure. But through the autopsy of the corpse, Zero found that although this guy had a human appearance, his body functions were very different from ordinary humans. Not to mention the tentacles that can be freely stretched from under the shoulder blades, the bone knife embedded in the arm bone of the forearm that can be ejected at any time, and the oval mouthparts in the palm of the hand, it is impossible to connect him with humans.

This is a humanoid monster, and Zero even suspects that he is the crystallization of some kind of biochemical technology. Because the mouthparts in the palm had a circle of sharp and thin sharp teeth, which matched the wound marks on the mummy's neck. Obviously, this guy can eat with the mouthparts in the palm of his hand, but where does the food go after eating. After all, the monster doesn't have anything that looks like a digestive organ.

But it doesn't matter, in Zero's environment model, he "saw" another new specimen approaching.

This time there were five humanoid monsters, three came from the front branch, and two circled behind them intending to pinch them back and forth. As soon as Zero told Beyoncé about the situation, the environmental model suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the Naga exoskeletons also disappeared. They were reduced to countless genetic information, and all of them were shrunk into the independent storage area of zero genetic sequences.

Zero shook his head helplessly, it turned out that the Naga exoskeleton still had a time limit. Zero felt faintly that this should be an instinctive reaction of the main genes of the body. After all, if switching another life gene for too long, it may cause confusion of the two genes, leading to collapse.

However, it was really not the right time for Naga Gene to fade away, and Zero changed back to the image of a man in underwear, which made him very embarrassed. Fortunately, the arrival of the "specimen" gave him no time to be embarrassed, and the scattered hair floated up slightly, and then fell down slowly. In an instant, his whole body exuded a dangerous aura, and as the two large-caliber revolvers were zero-materialized, he just entered the battle stance.

There was a strange vibration in the air, and a figure rushed towards the corner of the branch road first. The figure rushed directly to the wall of the passage, bounced back to the ground, and then jumped towards Zero with hands and feet. Ling raised his hand and fired a gun. Amidst the most wild gunfire, the figure paused, and another male researcher appeared. The man in front of him looks exactly like the previous monster!

A bullet hole the size of a coin appeared on the man's forehead, and the kinetic energy of the bullet sent him flying backwards, before falling heavily to the ground. The limbs are paralyzed, and they die in a moment. The moment Zero fired, the other four figures had already swept forward and backward.

"Bess, headshot!" Zero said simply, and at the same time, the two guns were connected, and the revolver was firing at a constant speed.

But this time, the first two researchers seemed to have learned their lesson. They no longer advanced in a straight line, but adopted a complex trajectory, allowing Zero to shoot the fifth shot before killing another researcher with a headshot.

At the same time, Beyonce's automatic rifle fired again and again. At this moment, the beautiful Patriarch showed the results of his daily training. With the brain computing speed no less than that of a capable person, Beyonce constantly corrected her trajectory according to the movement trajectories of the two researchers. Finally, when one of the researchers broke into the ten-meter range, a bullet shot his head into a hornet's nest.

But after shooting the researcher, another monster rushed up. Beyonce is also brave, knowing that there is no time to turn the gun, she simply used the automatic rifle as an iron rod, and with all her strength, she shot across the researcher's head, knocking him out immediately. Of course, such an attack was not fatal enough, so after the humanoid monster fell to the ground, it quickly got up again.

But as soon as he stood up, there was a bullet hole in his head, and there was a * sound behind Beyoncé.

Zero solved a monster for Beyonce, but the last researcher jumped on him, and the two became gourds. Beyonce was holding a gun, but she didn't dare to shoot rashly. In the scuffle of Zero and the researcher, he seized an opportunity to hold his head with both hands and twist it violently. With a snap, the sound of the cervical spine breaking came from the researcher's neck, and his movements finally stopped.

But this humanoid monster didn't move, it still stared at Zero angrily, and opened its mouth full of sharp teeth to yell at Zero.

Zero stood up, clapped his hands and said to Beyoncé, "You'd better turn your face away, I'm going to give this guy a brain surgery."

"Go ahead, it won't scare me."

"Okay then." Zero spread out his hand, palm again, *has become*.

He first separated the body and head of this guy with a knife, and immediately, the monster that was still roaring and screaming immediately fell silent. The researcher's eyes are still wide open, but the pupils have gradually dilated, apparently dead. Zero made a circle around his forehead, and then pried up his skull with the tip of his head, exposing the brain tissue inside. Inside the skull, there is no human brain, only a strange organ covered with a layer of cartilage.

The surface of this oval-shaped organ is covered with nerve cords, and countless nerves extend from the surroundings to connect other tissues. If the researcher is a humanoid machine, then the organ in the head is the command center of this machine, and it is the only thing that can be called an organ in this kind of humanoid monster.

After putting several corpses together, Zero looked more and more weird. These corpses all have the characteristics of male humans, and the strange thing is that they have the same face, almost like *humans.

What is certain is that it was this monster that killed the staff of the base. The strength and speed they displayed have reached the level of around the fifth level of human ability users. Don't look at Zero killing them easily, that's because of the huge gap in strength. But if ordinary humans encounter them, it will definitely be a disaster. In addition to the five-level strength and speed of these monsters, the tentacles on their backs, the bone knives on their arms, and the mouthparts on their palms are all sharp weapons for predation.

In the face of such monsters, ordinary humans have no chance of winning at all. And such monsters, God knows how many more there will be in this white blood cell base.

Just as Zero put down the corpse of the specimen, the mysterious organ in his brain was quickly stained with a layer of gray, and completely turned into a dry draft in less than a second. Zero glanced at the corpse again, then turned to Beyoncé and said, "Let's go, let's go to the central control room first. Each base has backup energy, as the core control area, some functions should still be able to operate. With any luck, we can find an unclosed passage there."

After the two left, the organs in the researcher's brain brushed several red silk threads, followed by a "pop", and completely turned into ashes.

At the same time, in a hidden room in the underground base, someone made an unexpected voice: "You actually killed my six spin-offs? It seems that the guests this time are not simple."

The room was very dark, only a few red emergency lights on the wall were blinking, indicating that there was still a backup power supply operating in the base as Zero had guessed. Although the power supply used by the emergency lights is very weak, judging from the various conditions of the base, it should have been closed for decades. After such a long time, the backup power supply is still working, which shows that the quality of the military port is really excellent.

Under the light, is a man's face. His face was sharp and straight, his forehead was straight, and the skin clinging to his face seemed to have no flesh and blood, giving him a dry feeling. The man was wearing a pair of glasses, and the edge of the left mirror was slightly cracked, but the man seemed to have no replacements, and he still wore the pair of damaged glasses. He supported the mirror frame with his fingers, and the palm that appeared under the light was almost skinny, as thin as a mummy.

The nails on the fingers were black and sharp, looking more like the claws of some kind of beast. And the man with beast-like sharp claws just sat on a leather chair that was cracked and even had springs protruding from it. He was arched, with one hand resting on his bent knee. He wears the uniform of a researcher, and still has a name tag pinned to his left chest. The words "Curd Jay Burnham" were written on it.

The man named Ke De sat up slightly, and the red light shone on him. But there was no other clothes under the researcher's long white coat. Curd's body with two rows of ribs exposed was so thin, but under the skin was covered with blood vessels like earthworms. The blood vessels only vibrate once every few minutes, representing the extremely slow flow of blood.

In fact, Ke De's heart was also very slow, beating only about once every minute.

Behind Ke De, there are densely packed pipes that are only as thick as a little finger. From time to time, viscous liquid dripped down from the surface of the pipe, which didn't look like man-made objects, but more like some kind of biological organ.

In Ke De's eyes, images of Zero kept appearing, the level of detail was as if he was facing Zero himself. When these images were played, Ke De seemed to feel something. He closed his eyes, stretched out his overgrown tongue and licked his lips: "Amazing, this man. He killed my offspring in about a minute. Then this is... The information sent back from the spawn actually completes 1% of my genes? Hahaha, great, I thought it was a side dish, but it turned out to be a big meal!"

"Then, you guys go. Go fight that guy and bring back more of his genetic information, my offspring!" Ke De suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, there were at least twenty pipe bombs behind him. rise.

They quickly shrank into the darkness, and then in the shadow of the room, more than a dozen pairs of blood-red eyes lit up. Then there was the sound of cloth rubbing and footsteps, and on both sides of Kord, a total of twenty researchers with the same face walked by. If you look carefully, it is not difficult to see that their facial features are very similar to Ke De.

The difference is that these so-called derivatives are expressionless, like machines that faithfully execute orders!

Zero took Beyoncé around the base, and his advancing route was complicated and unpredictable. And in the process of advancing, Zero and the Two kept encountering new spawns. These mindless monsters controlled by Ke De seemed to spread all over the base. The numbers, though not so large as to bother Zero, are almost everywhere. It has been over an hour since we walked from the material storage area in Area D, and there are as many as 53 spinoffs that died under the zero gun!

What surprised Zero was that no matter how many of these spinoffs were killed, not even half an evolutionary point was formed. This is almost impossible. You must know that with Zero's current rank, even if you kill low-level life forms, you won't get many evolution points. But no matter how bad it is, after killing dozens of them, it will accumulate a little bit. However, the current situation is very strange, and Zero has tried various methods. From a headshot to a close-quarters kill, no matter which method can get any evolution points from them.

In this worthless killing, Zero had already seen the door of the central control room from a distance. It can be seen because the emergency lights above the gate are flashing a blinding red light. Although the light was very weak because the distance was about 500 meters, in the night vision mode of Zero's right eye, he could roughly see the outline near the gate with that little light.

Footsteps sounded at this moment, and a metal door suddenly popped out in a room about 100 meters behind Beyoncé. At the same time as the bang made a loud noise on the wall, a figure lowered its body and rushed out. After a turning point, it was already approaching Beyoncé.

Beyonce had no time to shoot, and was pulled behind her by Zero. Zero still has two large-caliber revolvers in his hands. This weapon maximizes Zero's burst power while saving his energy output. It is the best tactical solution for this kind of humanoid monster with obvious weaknesses. And since the battle so far, the fifty corpses lying on the road are the best proof.

Raise the gun and shoot.

However, this time, the reaction speed of the researcher who broke out halfway was a little faster than that of the previous batch of spinoffs. The moment Ling raised his arm, his figure suddenly shifted sideways, causing Ling Yi to miss.

"Huh?"

In the previous battles, Zero has basically figured out their movements, speed and action rules. All the attacks were targeted, but the shot that was bound to hit was missed, and I felt different. But he kept moving, and fired two more shots, and finally killed the researcher whose overall quality had slightly improved with the second shot.

After comparing the strength gap between this researcher and his predecessors, the brain concluded that the monster's strength has increased by at least 2%. Although the improvement is small, it is evidence of evolution even if it is small. And similarly, Zero still didn't get half an evolution point from this humanoid monster.

The sound of footsteps sounded continuously, and under the sweeping lights of Beyonce, I saw new spawns crawling or walking in several rooms on both sides of the passage, and even a few crawled down from the ventilation ducts on the ceiling. A total of nearly thirty spin-off researchers slowly approached the two, the number of which was the largest since the two entered the base!

"Control room! Run!" Zero yelled at Beyoncé.
