Chapter 386 The Ultimate in Biotechnology
Under the light, this metal gear shimmered with a luster unique to metal. Its teeth were clearly visible, and the craftsmanship was exquisite. Despite its small size, it gave one a strong sense of incongruity.
Appearing inside this monster filled with biological tissue, it felt like a meteorite from outer space—abrupt and mysterious.
Su Chen turned back to look at the monster he had just sliced open, his face full of astonishment. His mind felt shrouded in a fog, and a giant question mark kept circling in his thoughts:
"What in the world is this thing????"
How could there be a gear inside a monster?
Su Chen's mind was instantly thrown into chaos by this astonishing discovery.
He couldn't help but speculate: could this monster have undergone some surgery, having this gear implanted artificially?
But that seemed unlikely. Based on current knowledge of the monster, there were no traces of surgery or signs of external intervention.
Moreover, the gear didn't look like a simple attachment; it seemed to be intricately involved in the operation of the entire organism, like an indispensable key component in a precision machine.
Could it be that these monsters have gears inside them from birth?
This thought sent a chill down Su Chen's spine. If that were true, the existence of these monsters would far exceed the scope of ordinary living beings.
Or, perhaps this monster was entirely a...
A thought, bold to the point of insanity, suddenly flashed through Su Chen's mind!
He widened his eyes abruptly, his heart filled with wild joy at the idea, as if he had finally seen a glimmer of light after groping in the dark for so long.
This discovery instantly boosted his interest in researching this monster to the extreme; he felt he was about to uncover a massive secret capable of shocking the world.
Just then, his phone rang at an inopportune moment.
Su Chen frowned, picked up his phone with some annoyance, and upon opening it, discovered it was a call from Old Zhao.
Old Zhao got straight to the point on the other end of the line:
"Little Chen, would you like to come over to the command center?"
"A monster has appeared on our side, and we want you to take a look to see if it has any research value. If it doesn't, we won't keep it; we'll destroy it immediately!"
Su Chen was completely focused on the research of the Armored Monster, especially after just discovering the major clue of the metal gear, and he was preparing to delve deeper, so he immediately wanted to refuse.
However, at that moment, the phone screen shifted. Old Zhao's image disappeared, replaced by a massive monster, a hundred meters tall with three heads, resembling an octopus.
It could be seen looming in the thick fog, its massive body exuding a strong sense of oppression.
Su Chen noticed at a glance that, like the Armored Monster, it possessed a shell as hard as metal. That shell shimmered with a cold, chilling light in the mist, making one shudder.
Su Chen's eyes widened instantly, and he exclaimed inwardly:
"Good heavens! This thing looks like it has even more research value than the Armored Monster!"
His desire to research this monster ignited instantly like a flame, becoming incredibly intense.
"Wait for me, I'll be there right away!"
Leaving that sentence behind, Su Chen immediately cut the communication. After quickly arranging various matters at the research institute, he boarded a Space Mecha equipped with Space Jump capabilities and sped toward the command center like a lightning bolt.
Seeing him arrive, everyone stood up one after another, consciously making way for him.
"Little Chen, you're here."
Elder Qin glanced at the screen. The monster on the screen was even more terrifying and hideous than what they had seen on the phone; its massive body and bizarre appearance gave everyone a faint sense of megalophobia.
Su Chen didn't have time for pleasantries and asked directly:
"When did this monster appear?"
Old Zhao hurriedly explained:
"Just a moment ago. We were originally planning to destroy it according to the plan, but Elder Qin guessed that this monster might be helpful to your research, so he called you to have you check the situation first."
Su Chen nodded, his gaze scanning the monster from head to toe, not missing a single detail. He asked again:
"Has this monster kept this posture the whole time?"
Old Zhao nodded and replied:
"That's right. Ever since it crawled out from underground, it has maintained this posture, motionless. It feels just like a robot!"
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Elder Qin couldn't help but ask at this moment:
"How is it, Little Chen? Does it have any research value?"
"If not, destroy it quickly. This monster looks far too dangerous."
"However, we have sent some Electromagnetic Railgun to the US Soldiers; dealing with it should be more than enough!"
As soon as Elder Qin finished speaking, the scene on the screen changed abruptly.
The monster, which had been as still as a statue, suddenly moved, its actions swift and agile, catching everyone off guard.
Its three heads exerted force simultaneously, and beams of blue light, like arrows of death, shot out from within, precisely targeting the US Soldiers.
The moment these beams hit the ground, they caused violent explosions, the power of which was in no way inferior to a Particle Cannon.
Each explosion was like a small-scale catastrophe, killing at least thousands of US Soldiers.
In just one round of attacks, the US Soldiers suffered losses of over ten thousand. The originally orderly formation instantly became scattered, with severed limbs and pained groans everywhere.
And this wasn't even the most distressing part for them. What they found most unbearable was that two of the beams, as if controlled by an invisible hand, struck the Electromagnetic Naval Gun perfectly.
Just like a premeditated precision strike, two Electromagnetic Naval Guns were instantly destroyed in the explosions, turning into a pile of scrap metal.
Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned. They widened their eyes, faces full of disbelief, exclaiming continuously:
"The Electromagnetic Railgun, our Electromagnetic Railgun has been destroyed!"
"This is our greatest reliance! Without the Electromagnetic Railgun, those shells are useless!"
"This monster is actually so smart; it knew the Electromagnetic Railgun was the biggest threat to it and destroyed it first. What are we going to do?"
The monster suddenly acted, its movements swift and decisive, catching everyone off guard.
President Biden watched the destroyed naval guns, as if he had lost his soul, kneeling on the ground in a daze, his face full of despair.
His eyes were vacant, his heart filled with helplessness and fear. The original counterattack plan was completely disrupted at this moment, and he didn't know how to face this sudden turn of events.
At this moment, the Individual Mecha troops, seeing their comrades suffer such heavy losses, were instantly filled with rage and prepared to strike without hesitation.
The Particle Cannon on their backs quickly aimed at the monster, and then hundreds of Particle Cannon beams were fired simultaneously. The light of the Particle Cannon converged, like lightning in broad daylight, all striking the monster's body.
The power of hundreds of Particle Cannon beams was terrifying, with a destructive force no less than a small nuclear bomb.
Moreover, they were all concentrated on a single point to maximize the damage. Everyone clenched their fists tightly, filled with hatred, shouting:
"Go to hell!"
