How Did It Become a River Crab?

Hemer sighed helplessly: "Of course, the fire cannot be covered with paper. If this continues, Durkan's whereabouts will definitely be exposed. We have always guessed that he will find a way to clean us up, gradually replace the researchers with his own team, and improve the situation." Stable earnings.

This time when the spokesperson of the integration movement had an experimental accident, it was also in line with his wishes. Judging from the performance of the security forces, they most likely received the task of killing us and pretending to be the integration movement. Get rid of all ties. "

Hearing this, Mo Lan and the only brother understood the general plot, and also understood why the security personnel opened fire on the researcher.

The cause and effect of the enemy and ourselves are basically clear, and the rest is to feed them a big meal one by one.

"Since the original purpose of the Seventh Experimental Field was to cure Originium Disease, then the [Balrog] project must have been different from what it is now at the beginning." Mo Lan continued.

When it came to the Balrog Project, Hemer's expression was a little painful, and he blamed himself, "I failed to protect her well."

"The original name of this project was [Xinhuo]. Ifrit is an orphan I saved from the battlefield with Serena. We have been raising them together a few years ago. The origin stone crystals in her body have very special properties. , can continuously release energy on its own, allowing her to have an origin stone spellcasting talent far superior to ordinary infected people.

But what Serena and I care about is not this, but the healing potential of Originium disease manifested from this physique. We hope that by studying her radioactive physique, we can find a way to actively dissipate the energy of Originium crystals. The method is to transfer the energy of the lesion in the infected person's body to an external medium, and then turn it into a harmless crystal in the body, indirectly reducing the threat of Originium disease to the patient's life. "

"During this period, we had a preliminary result. We half-extracted the origin stone energy from Ifrit's body, making it a person who can act around Ifrit and obey Ifrit himself. The commanded origin stone skill creature, that is... [Balrog]..."

The more Hemer said, the more he gritted his teeth.

"We originally planned to further promote the process and find a way to completely extract it, but what we didn't expect was that the extracted energy was like a patient with split personality, giving birth to a personality with a very high degree of initiative. When Leeteuk himself was in a coma, he moved with his body and unleashed destructive Originium skills to destroy it."

"It was at that time that the people from the capital faction officially focused on Ifrit, thinking that she had the potential to become a prototype of biological weapons, and began to forcibly interfere with our experiments, wanting me to change the research direction to [Balrog] In terms of controllability and weaponization. Let her become a living weapon that can be manipulated by humans."

"Neither Serena nor I want this to happen, so we simply terminated the plan at the main research base, prevented her from becoming a tool for the struggle between the scientific research faction and the capitalist faction, and brought her to the seventh test site to continue looking for a solution Ifrit’s condition, how to deal with [Balrog] and extract the energy of the origin stone.”

"We already had a little bit of clues, so that she could initially control the [Blaze Demon], so that she would not have too much risk of going berserk. Just when we saw the dawn of further research...Decan came."

Chapter 240 Resin

"Durkan should have been prompted by the director of the capital faction. On the day he came to the seventh experimental field, he controlled me and Ifrit, as well as all the researchers who assisted the fire plan. Explosive collars were placed around the necks of the children, threatening their lives to change the direction of the experiment."

When Hemer mentioned the explosive collar, his tone was obviously a lot more excited: "He will continue the research of the [Balrog] project, and it will be more cruel than the previous version."

"More cruel?"

"The original Balrog plan was to use Ifrit as a sample to artificially reproduce a large number of mass-produced Balrogs with the same physique, and at the same time make them controllable by the infected themselves and become powerful individual combat weapons. Here is a Technical difficulties, we can't replicate the initial success of Ifrit, and we can't guarantee that every mass-produced Balrog can be controlled by its owner."

"And Durkan... he's going to solve this problem in the most unacceptable way for me."

"He... is going to jump over it!"

Speaking of this, Hemer took a deep breath, forced himself to regain his composure, reorganized his thoughts, and narrated in a tone as rational as possible: "He decided to abandon this plan, and instead implanted chips in the brains of all experimental subjects, Through remote control, forcibly control the actions of all Balrogs, making it a remote control weapon."

"..." The only brother digested it for a while, and asked tentatively: "Then... what about the infected person who produced the Balrog?"

"Because of the stimulation of the chip, I will lose the ability to think independently, and become a walking dead with only basic instincts left."

"Then how the hell do they walk?"

"...installing wheels, 'removing' necessary organs, modifying... can I stop here?"

Hemer's body trembled slightly, as if he didn't dare to recall the next content.

"Fuck, of course." Hydralisk let out a rough inhalation sound, exchanged glances with Mo Lan, and replied immediately.

After a moment of embarrassment, the only brother tentatively opened his mouth: "I still have a question, why does your capitalist faction want you to withhold biological weapons? If the treatment of Originium Disease is successful, wouldn't you earn more fucking money?"

The only brother himself didn't notice that he swears a little more.

"...There are many reasons." After changing the question, Hemer answered with a slightly higher enthusiasm.

"First, the capitalists don't think that the origin stone disease that has plagued Terra for several years can be truly eradicated in a short period of time, and if it is simply suppressed, some old pharmaceutical companies and institutions have already done a good job, and the profit point is far away. It is not as good as having more arms, capital is short-sighted, and will not sacrifice immediate interests for the sake of righteousness and reputation, we have seen enough of this kind of thing."

"Second, most of the capitalist directors are from Colombia, and some of them have military backgrounds. They are very concerned about the regional control of arms."

"Third, the Fire Torch Project once allowed the scientific research school to invest a lot of resources. In the eyes of the capitalist school, just destroying this plan itself is a blow to the scientific research school."

"Fourth..." Hemer paused, "The capitalists believe that the world needs Originium disease."

The last reason made Mo Lan and the only brother stunned at the same time. After thinking about it, they finally understood the meaning of this sentence.

The contradictions in the world of Terra have never been limited to Originium disease.

Terra in the world view of Ark is a world where multiple races coexist, with a touch of dystopia. It contains racial conflicts, regional disputes, class gaps, large-scale civil wars...but in the plot, most of the contradictions are hidden in the Under the origin stone disease.

The contradictions between the infected and the non-infected derived from the Originium disease temporarily suppressed the countless more intense contradictions hidden under the water that were waiting to explode. In other words, the Originium disease is a disaster, and it is also a fig leaf for this world , and even itself is a source of many benefits.

If you remove this layer of cloth, what you see will not be peace, but a raging fire that is buried under it and constantly rising.

Damn, this dungeon design is more realistic than expected...

Thinking of this, the two players not only sighed, but fell silent for a while, making the corridor return to silence.

In this silent atmosphere, the three of them slowly moved towards the holding room of the slot machine.

Just a few long corridors away from the target, the light of the tactical flashlight came from the corner again.

Another security guard on patrol?

Having experienced it once, the three of them naturally did not panic, but immediately made relevant arrangements, set up firecrackers, and prepared to ambush.

But soon, the three of them discovered that the security team this time... was a bit different.

The light that shone over was not stable at all, but was swinging up and down exaggeratedly, just like the person holding it was swinging up and down exaggeratedly.

It is impossible for the soldiers who are in charge of playing forward and providing lighting to do such a ridiculous move.

Immediately afterwards, as time went by, the three of them gradually heard a strange noise.

Creak, creak...

Mo Lan and the only brother are very familiar with this kind of voice. When they were in school, some people liked to scrape the blackboard with their fingernails to make a scalp-numbing rubbing sound. Now this voice is almost exactly the same.

Creak, creak...

The voice slowly got closer.

Creak, creak, creak...

more...

At this moment, although the three of them didn't speak, everyone knew that they were walking slowly around the corner...

Definitely not a fucking security guard.

It was something that rushed out of the holding room!

When the sound gradually became louder, Hemo's pupils shrank suddenly, as if thinking of something, he signaled Mo Lan and the only brother to put the firecrackers in their backpacks, hold their breath, don't talk, don't move, don't show any facial expressions Activity.

One snake and one crab immediately followed suit. Hemo, a researcher who has worked in the seventh experimental field for a long time, has absolute authority in understanding the confiscated objects.

Amid the distorted and sharp creaking sounds, the three of them quietly curled up behind the wall, quietly waiting for the unknown thing to approach.

In the end, they appeared in front of the three of them.

That's right, "they".

Walking out of the corner were four or five...resin statues in security clothes and corresponding equipment.

These statues are very low-quality, many details are too rough to bear to look at, reminiscent of the extremely low-quality sets in old amusement park haunted houses.

What is creepy is that the faces of these statues are extremely clear, although it can still be seen that they are made of resin, the corners of the mouth reach to the base of the ears, there are two round rouge balls on the face, and the eyes are staring straight at the front. The front, which should have looked comical, looked distorted and eerie in the dim light, and...

reality.

These resin statues can move. Every time they move, their bodies will stiffen and swing back and forth. The exaggerated movements remind Mo Lan of the previous stop-motion animations. The shaking flashlight light and creaking sound are just From here on.

Suddenly, all the statues turned their heads in unison, turned 180 degrees, and looked down at the three people behind the wall.

In an extremely eerie and frightening atmosphere, one of the statues spoke: "Come and light a candle, come and run."

"Come light the candle, come and run."

"Come light the candle, come and run!"

Chapter 240 Nine

The voice of the statue is very ear-piercing, as if the voice of ordinary people has been raised several major keys, supplemented by the slippery sound of resin rubbing against each other, just listening to it makes one's scalp tingle.

But upon hearing this, Hemo's expression was visibly relaxed. She let out a long breath, and said to the only brother and Mo Lan: "It's okay, don't use any long-range or weapons with obvious flames, don't use more than jogging just go at the speed.”

"Is this some kind of regular creature?" Mo Lan narrowed her eyes and said, "As long as you don't do what they say, you won't be attacked?"

"Correct."

Homer nodded:

"Receipt 037 [Parade] was originally just a single, constantly moving resin statue, but once someone is within his line of sight, he will make a warning similar to the one just now.

Once you do any of the two things he said, all the statues will attack you, and once you are attacked by him, you will gradually become like him within ten seconds.Join the [parade]. "

"At the same time, the victim will retain all the fighting skills during his lifetime, whether it is a crossbow, blunderbuss or Originium skills, they can all be used as a medium to turn the target into a wax figure."

"Before, five or six security personnel spoke when it said 'let's talk', which triggered its attack logic, was touched by the body, and then died suddenly, turning into the statues we see now."

When Hemo spoke, he looked at the security guards, and there was a trace of resentment in his eyes.They were the team members responsible for the security of the seventh experimental field before Durkan came, and they got along very well with the researchers and the children.Now it has become this miserable appearance.

"That is to say, as long as we don't violate the rules they set up every time they get nervous, we can punish him casually?" Mo Lan heard that, and climbed up to its face along the only statue in the whole team that was not a security member, and put his buttocks on it. Aimed at its head: "Grandpa please eat your fart!"

"...There is also a situation where if they perceive a threatening attack, they will take the initiative to fight back."

Mo Lan's fart-eating behavior froze in mid-air, and returned the same way calmly, silently hid behind the only brother, and said to the statues: "The Hydralisk ordered me to do it!"

The only brother:?

In short, although this consignment is scary, as long as you follow the rules set by them, you will not be threatened. The only brother and Mo Lan were then prompted by the system to deal with the task, and the content was to lock all the statues into different airtight rooms to go.

The two made a choice and put the priority of this task to the lowest. In the case of unknown troubles everywhere, this task consumes too many resources and time, and the cost performance is extremely low.

There are more than 40 deposits in the entire lower floor, not all of them can be safely disposed of after the encounter. Otherwise, you can earn 40X500=20000 endless points in one go, and the next day, everyone’s blood will be in the top ten in the leaderboard. That would be too exaggerated up.

After determining the target, the three of them continued to move forward slowly, intending to skip the confiscated items directly, but they hadn't taken a few steps before they saw a small, funny-looking creature in front of the dim corridor.

It was a cute looking little robot. It looked like a horizontal white ellipsoid with two short legs, and two small red oval eyes were painted on the ellipsoid. It looked really cute, really I don't see anything threatening.

But the moment they saw this little robot, Mo Lan and Hemo looked as if they were facing an enemy, and at the same time stepped back a few steps, leaving the only brother in a sluggish .jpg state at the forefront.

Seeing this, the only brother quietly took a few steps back and stood side by side with the two of them again.

"What kind of pledge is this again?" He showed his sickle and asked while being vigilant, "Is it troublesome?"
