Chapter 406 A New Research Direction!
David struggled, reaching out desperately to grab Professor Harry, but the straps used to secure his body bound him tightly, leaving him unable to move and forcing him to struggle in despair.
Until his body gradually swelled into a huge sphere, his appearance looking both strange and terrifying.
The smiles originally on the faces of Professor Harry and his team had long since vanished, replaced by faces full of frustration.
They turned without hesitation, quickly retreated outside the room, and then used all their strength to tightly close the Laboratory door, as if a flood beast was behind it, ready to rush out and devour them at any moment.
As the door shut with a "bang," a shrill scream rang out from inside!
The sound seemed to pierce through one's eardrums, stabbing directly into the deepest fears within one's heart.
Immediately after, a dull explosion sound came, and the entire Laboratory seemed to tremble violently. Then, blood splashed like ink onto the white Laboratory door, slowly flowing down, forming shocking bloodstains; the scene was like a living hell.
Professor Harry's expression remained calm, though he frowned slightly as if all this had been within his expectations. He waved his hand expressionlessly and said in a cold tone: "Clean up the Laboratory."
After speaking, as if having made up his mind, he walked toward the deepest part of the Laboratory without looking back.
Seeing this, Stark hurriedly chased after him and asked anxiously: "Do we still need to find new soldiers?"
Professor Harry stopped, fell silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I plan to change directions; I don't need any test subjects for the time being."
After speaking, he left directly, leaving Stark standing there alone.
Stark stared blankly at the blood-stained Laboratory, his eyes filled only with numbness. The anticipation and excitement he once held had long since vanished. At this moment, his heart was a mix of complicated emotions; he didn't know whether to be annoyed by the experiment's failure or worried about the unknown path ahead.
Outside the Laboratory, two soldiers were leaning against the wall, discussing the explosion. "I really don't know what kind of weapon they are researching. It makes me unable to sleep at night. Having this happen every few days is too scary." "Forget about it. By the way, I heard a recruit from the next company participated in an experiment and left the barracks. That's really lucky!"
...
In the north of Eagle Sauce, the creepy monster fortress looked like an evil structure grown from the abyss of hell, exuding weirdness and terror everywhere.
The entire fortress was actually constructed from piles of flesh and blood. Those pieces of flesh seemed to possess some kind of vitality, constantly wriggling as if countless twisted worms were crawling slowly.
The ground and even the underground were covered with a dense network like blood vessels. In these vessel-like pipes, some unknown substance was being continuously transported. The "gurgling" sound of it flowing seemed particularly eerie in this gloomy environment! It was as if it were the "heartbeat" of the fortress, maintaining its operation.
On the throne, the majestic Caesar sat lazily, listening to his subordinate's report. Mr. L stood to the side, his expression showing a hint of worry, and said respectfully: "Respected Master, the Dragon Kingdom's intentions against us are now quite obvious."
"They distributed the mechs they developed to various countries. Now, countries on the Blue Planet possess quite powerful military forces thanks to these mechs. When your subjects clash with them, it is already difficult to gain the upper hand. If this continues, our army will likely be wiped out from the lands of various countries bit by bit."
Other monsters were furious upon hearing this. They bared their fangs and brandished their claws, shouting with hatred: "Pardon my bluntness, the Dragon Kingdom only has those mechs that can pose a threat to us, and of course their Aerospace Carrier. Besides that, what qualifications do they have to be our opponents?"
"Why don't we just assemble our forces, descend upon their country, and turn it upside down? That would also vent the hatred in our hearts!" "Unwise, unwise. Compared to dealing with them, we have more important things to do right now!" Some monsters proposed different opinions, though their tone was full of unwillingness and helplessness.
"Damn it, but I hate it. If it weren't for the Dragon Kingdom meddling, the Blue Planet might have already been taken by us." Another monster gritted its teeth in anger, its sharp teeth colliding to make a "clacking" sound, as if it wanted to swallow the Dragon Kingdom alive.
Caesar, however, was indifferent to this. He raised his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet, then said slowly: "Anyway, the essence of those monsters has already been drained. It doesn't matter how the countries on the Blue Planet deal with them; it has no substantial impact on us."
"You wouldn't be counting on those puppet monsters, which can't even destroy Dragon Kingdom mechs, to defeat the Dragon Kingdom, would you?"
Hearing Caesar's words, everyone fell silent. They knew in their hearts that counting on those monsters to deal with the Dragon Kingdom was indeed a pipe dream.
Those monsters were merely pawns they had used previously to complete a certain plan while consuming the strength of various countries. Now, they had long been drained of their essence, leaving only husks, much like the living dead, and were completely useless.
The essence extracted from the puppet monsters was being continuously transported through the vessel-like pipes underground to a mysterious location beneath them. That was where they were secretly preparing their ultimate weapon to deal with the Dragon Kingdom, carrying their final hope of dominating the Blue Planet.
Caesar then added nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter how many of those puppets die or are injured. Anyway, all countries are busy cleaning up these puppets now and have no time to come looking for trouble with us for the time being. Doesn't this suit our wishes perfectly?" "As long as they don't come to provoke us, once our secret weapon is completed, that will be the time for us to thoroughly take down the Dragon Kingdom and then control the entire Blue Planet."
Upon hearing this, the subordinate monsters bowed down willingly and shouted in unison: "Our Master is wise! Our Master is wise!"
The sound gathered together, resounding through the skies, echoing for a long time over the dark castle, as if announcing their ambition and conspiracy to the entire world.
Hundreds of meters beneath the castle, the basement originally used for parties had now been massively expanded and hollowed out, revealing a huge array emitting a scarlet light.
Above the array, a massive lump of flesh the size of a small hill was constantly wriggling. The surface of the flesh was uneven, and from time to time, disgusting bubbles would bulge out, as if they would burst at any moment.
The surrounding blood vessels were continuously transporting strange liquids, all pouring into the lump of flesh like rivers flowing into the sea, and that lump of flesh was like a black hole that could never be filled, greedily absorbing these liquids!
The whole scene looked extremely eerie, making one's hair stand on end.
