Chapter 260: Let Me Have a Look!_1
Chapter 260: Chapter 260: Let Me Have a Look!_1Unified Technology had envisioned no less than ten combat methods for individuals "infected," including the enhancement of prosthetic functions, the upgrading of operating systems, and even having a combat method similar to biological weapons.
But no one expected that this experiment, designed specifically for "infected" individuals, would end in such a manner.
Before the battle even began, the "infection" had already spread to other cyber maniacs and quickly completed assimilation, while the company still has no idea how this "infection" spread.
However, they at least made new progress from this experiment.
"Bug Swarm."
And this seemed to respond to the voice they captured in the surveillance footage.
"Join us, become one of us."
The "us" here, presumably, referred to the Bug Swarm.
This was a term unheard of before, and they had no way to determine whether the "infected" original entity was that worm that flashed by in the surveillance or something else, the only certainty was that, unbeknownst to them, some sort of entity beyond their comprehension had taken up parasitic residence in Sector Seventeen.
Falena looked at Lu Xiang and Song Lan with eyes full of inquiry, she couldn’t even confirm whether this Law Enforcer department head was human or another individual parasitized by the Bug Swarm.
When facing the unknown, it often triggers the deep-seated fear in people’s hearts.
Feeling her heart beating faster and emotions gradually spiraling out of control, Falena quickly pulled open a drawer, took out something like a spray, and inhaled deeply.
In fact, Lu Xiang was also extremely anxious, she fully understood the look Falena gave her, because even she didn’t know what was happening on the other side of the holographic projection, and she had more than once doubted whether Song Lan was an inside agent sent by the Bug Swarm.
Previously, Song Lan had only mentioned that the Shadow Guards possessed some powerful ability, but not even she had expected Sammuen to assimilate all the cyber maniacs in the lab in such a short time.
It happened so fast it almost seemed like a real infection.
She had once mentioned that a similar plague had broken out in a village in the Neutral Country, where villagers turned into monsters much like the cyber maniacs overnight. Yet, the infestation by the Work Bee was controllable; among the people working in the junkyard, only Ge Fu had become a bit deranged, while everyone else was normal.
The "battle" on the other end of the holographic projection continued.
At Falena’s command, the isolation doors to the upper levels were slowly opened.
There was only one person at the door.
His whole body was covered with a metal coating, even his face was shrouded by a helmet; however, compared to the completely mechanized Wild Bone, this person’s figure was still within the parameters of a normal human.
"Kill them."
Falena issued the order without hesitation, regardless of Lu Xiang and Song Lan’s presence.
For some reason, she always felt that the events of this night were like an experiment for the two before her, and as observers, all they could do was to allow the experiment to keep going as much as possible.
The moment he received the order, the visitor’s arms extended two thermal cutting blades similar to Sammuen’s.
The next moment, his figure disappeared from the spot.
Before any of the Shadow Guards could react, he appeared behind Sammuen, and his burning blade had already cut off his head, holding it like a trophy in his hand.
Song Lan’s eyes widened at the sight.
An Overload system just like Wild Bone’s!
Despite the clear gap in acceleration compared to Wild Bone, it was enough to support instantaneous movement under the dynamic vision of a normal person.
Without a doubt, this was the Humanoid Weapon that Lador mentioned, the crowning achievement of Unified Technology’s re
But this is the fate of being company property, even the top manager of a branch can’t escape this cycle, and tonight, her death will create unimaginable value for the company.
Therefore, Falena did not want to miss the chance to observe this creation of flesh up close -- an opportunity that comes only once in a lifetime.
"Director Lu."
She spoke, "Communication with headquarters is now cut off, I have a personal question I’d like to ask you. You... or rather, ’it’, what is your purpose?"
Lu Xiang did not respond.
Unquestionably, this was a tricky question, mainly because the Devourer had not been concocted by her.
So she looked towards Song Lan, who also did not answer; he turned the question over to the Devourer, who was intently studying the humanoid weapon.
Several eyes seemed to sense his gaze.
Soon, a chaotic echo, as if from the abyss, resonated in the room.
It attempted to articulate its current thoughts, and all these notions finally coalesced into four words.
——"Let me have a look."
Then, all the eyes returned their gaze to the humanoid weapon.
