Chapter 401: Evil Objects from the Sky
The cold wind howled and the ice and snow flew.
The military's special helicopter descended from the sky with a roaring sound, and ice chips rolled up by the propellers flew all over the sky.
"Professor Carl!"
Major General Hausman is a strong white man. He covered his forehead with one hand and shouted:
"We're here."
His roar was not obvious under the influence of the sound of the propeller turning.
“Yeah.”
Karl nodded and jumped out of the cabin.
His strong posture and flexible movements made Hausman raise his eyebrows slightly, and then looked away.
It seems that Professor Carl is not as old as his age, nor as gentle as his temperament.
This is the polar region.
A temporary camp built by the military.
Searchlights stood around, patrolling the camp, and some uniformed staff were busy.
"Mr. Alston."
Leading Karl to a tent, Hausman stretched out his hand and signaled:
"This is Professor Karl, an expert in biogenetics. Professor, this is Mr. Auston, who is responsible for sponsoring this operation. ”
It is well known that the federal military cooperates with various business groups. Some business groups even have their own independent armed forces.
The army,
also needs to eat.
The salary paid by the federation alone is not even estimated to be enough to cover the cost of military recruitment, so cooperation is inevitable.
“Alston?” Karl stretched out his hand and shook hands lightly:
“I saw your interview on TV, and you were hailed as the most talented company in the Federation in the past century. Family, nice to meet you.”
“Me too.” Auston wears gold-rimmed glasses, a slim suit, and a thin sword on his waist. He has a heroic spirit and is completely different from ordinary businessmen.
He smiled and said:
"Professor Carl's research on genetics is really amazing. I have always wanted to visit you."
"I'm sorry to trouble you this time."
"Even if there is no request from the military, But the reward is worth the trip." Carl smiled: "Where is the thing?"
"Inside!"
Hausman and Austen moved back at the same time.
"Professor please!"
Behind the tent, there is actually a large base deep into the ice, which cannot be seen from the outside because it is underground.
The ice layer at the base is very thick, but there is still water underneath. The base separates the water flow with a solid transparent object.
Karl touched the wall.
"This is the latest composite material developed, which can be used at low temperatures. The lower the temperature, the higher its hardness."
Auston said:
"It is worthless elsewhere, but It’s most suitable in the polar regions where the temperature is always below zero.”
Karl nodded slowly.
Entering the base, staff wearing safety uniforms are busy.
The most eye-catching thing here is a black sphere placed in the center, which is completely frozen.
"Professor."
When he came here, Auston was the master. He turned on the screen and zoomed in on the details of the black sphere:
"This thing is from more than ten days ago. What fell from the sky is suspected to be a meteorite, but we analyzed organic matter from it..."
"It may be some kind of creature"
"It was discovered through several detection methods such as isotope decay that this creature is suspected to have existed hundreds of millions of years ago."
Hundreds of millions of years ago?
Karl’s eyes moved slightly, and he opened the handed information.
"Fossils of creatures hundreds of millions of years ago are not rare, but this thing...you said it is probably still alive?"
"Yes."
Auston looked solemn:
“It’s still alive!”
“As long as the temperature is higher than a certain level, it will wake up, and if it is lower than a certain level, it will fall into a dormant state. We don’t know if it has There is no danger, so please come and take a look at Professor Carl."
"Yes." Carl nodded, put down the information, and came to a small laboratory with a black stone the size of a fingernail.
The black stone is placed in a solid alloy container, and the reaction inside is observed through various instruments.
As the temperature rises, the black stone will liquefy and dissolve.
As the temperature decreases,
it solidifies.
“We tried.”
Major General Hausmann of the military said in a solemn voice:
"This thing is very hard and resistant to high temperatures. Only large machines can slowly grind and crush it."
"And..."
"It is very aggressive!"
"Aggressive?" Carl looked up:
"Is someone injured?"
"This..." Hausman's face changed slightly: "Military secrets, it is not convenient to talk about it at the moment."
It seems that someone died in the process, or the injured person was under illegal surveillance. , Karl understood.
“I need some time and some equipment.”
Moving his hands and feet, he said:
"Have you arranged a laboratory for me? I've taken the things I brought. You may need them later."
"Yes."
"Your laboratory is over here. .”
A few hours later.
Karl used pliers to hold a hair-like thing and placed it in a petri dish, observing the changes in details.
"A very strange creature, with common characteristics of carbon-based life and silicon-based life, and a terrible assimilation ability."
"Hmm..."
He raised his head and lit up the screen:
“This is its true nature.”
Auston, who was woken up from his daze, became interested instantly and looked at the screen thoughtfully:
< br>
"Parasite?"
"Almost."
Karl nodded:
"That stone has nearly three million parasites, each of which can assimilate a life. body. ”
“After being called, it can absorb nutrients from the host body to divide and reproduce, and expand the population.”
"Assimilation and division are the instincts of its inherited genes, and this process is currently irreversible."
?
Auston turned pale.
This can no longer be described as interesting, but scary and terrifying.
“Extraordinary…”
"Professor Carl, how can we kill it?"
"It can be done with an energy shock exceeding a certain level, but ordinary people certainly don't have this method." Carl shook his head:
"Lower the temperature , can reduce its biological activity, we should be grateful that it landed in the pole."
Coincidence?
Definitely not!
This thing is rushing to exterminate all living things. It must be the instinct of the remaining will of the gods.
“Destroy it!”
Auston growled:
“You must destroy it!”
“Yes.”
Karl nodded:
“If this thing leaves the base and is resurrected, it will soon flood and destroy everything.”
“They are the size of a hair and can hide in bread and soil. , it is impossible to detect it."
"One more thing..."
"This stone is not complete, and part of it must have been taken away and needs to be retrieved in time."
Incomplete?
Oston's eyes flashed:
"The polar scientific research team took away some samples!"
He turned around, quickly came to his residence, and dialed made a certain phone call.
Watching Alston's back leave, Karl shook his head slightly and looked at the laboratory in front of him thoughtfully.
"Coming from outside the sky..."
"Foreign gods!"
"It seems that the gods outside can no longer sit still. The Son of Destruction has inherited the poisonous qualities of the blood clan's faith, and can also Reproduction, if expanded to other worlds..."
"The Twilight of the Gods is coming!"

Yundun University.
Institute of Matter.
It was already evening, and some researchers still did not leave, observing a few black worms.
"Professor."
A female graduate student said:
"Through our research, we found that black worms can parasitize in the host's body and can improve the host's various physical qualities."
“This is a great discovery!”
Her voice could not contain her excitement.
If we could extract the kind of material that can improve physical fitness, it would definitely shake up the entire biological world.
"So..."
The white-haired professor said:
"Is the parasitized creature a black worm or its original body?"
"This..." The girl was stunned.
"Peng!"
"Oh no, the parasitized white rat broke the glass, bit Newman and escaped."
"What?"
