Chapter 142 Soul Eater? The Reality of Evolution
Among the intelligence organizations of all parties, the specific location has never been clear. The biological and chemical weapons laboratory of the Root military is located in the underground space of the base.
However, the situation shown below at this moment is really not that good-looking.
Sure enough, none of the forces rising in the apocalyptic world is innocent, they are all guilty of original sin.
As one of the three major forces in Luo City, the real weapon of the Lute Army is the biochemically modified warriors known as the ultimate war weapons. This is one of the reasons why they are criticized by many survivors.
Experimenting on living humans is their most basic operation. There was a time in Luocheng when a large number of missing people gathered in gathering places. It was said that they were kidnapped by the Lute Army and entered the Biomodification Research Institute.
The Lute Army and the military do not admit this. Their biological transformation progress has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and they have vigorously put various human-modifying biological weapons into the war market. They can compete with the Black God Group and the Redemption The Alliance Church competes for regions and territories, and nothing can be done without two brushes.
Behind the light is darkness.
Behind the Root military, perhaps their own people will live well, but the methods adopted are still extremely cruel and violent.
Under Zheng Yi's gaze, the powerful soul power covered the surrounding area, scanning the radiation, and nothing could be evaded.
After being slashed by Zheng Yi's terrifying sword from the phantom of Taishan Prefecture, the Lute Army Base was completely reduced to ruins, and the true nature inside could no longer be concealed.
The imprisoned horrors, abominations, crawlers, and even various strange-looking zombie evolutions and human-modified creatures, like going to the market, began to break out of the restraints and go crazy outside. Attack every living creature.
These mutants are the products of failure, or they are purely experimental products. Because of the implantation of zombie system cells, the infection mutated, completely losing their human form, and they have a great hatred for life.
Any living creature found, including humans, has become a delicacy in their mouths.
This caused screams to be heard from time to time in the ruins, followed by the sounds of tearing flesh and gnawing bones.
The underground of the entire base is divided into more than ten floors. Each floor has a large number of laboratories. Those surviving experimenters are conducting experiments on human bodies every day. They should not have thought that one day , they actually become food in the mouths of their subjects.
Zheng Yi showed no signs of mercy amid the screams. His eyes were calm and his face was cold. He calmly walked through the ruins and explored the underground space layer by layer.
Of course, with the destruction of the Lute Army research base, the remaining fighting zombie evolutions on the front line were quickly surrounded by the gathered Soul Palace army.
Led by the blood warriors and ghost warriors who served as bayonets, the vanguard directly destroyed the established target.
Immediately under the command and orders, people made dumplings from all directions, completely controlling the base of the Tru Army.
They never encountered any decent resistance along the way. Except for the occasional stubborn resister who was directly shot to death, more people knelt down and surrendered.
Previously, Lord Taishan's sword that fell from the sky chopped up the entire military base and cut off the souls and backbones of many people. Now many people have suffered liver and gallbladder injuries and have been so frightened that they have long lost their will to fight.
The main purpose of the Soul Palace army's invasion is to prevent these terrifying zombie evolutions from escaping from here.
After all, how are these things made? They don't know yet.
The Lute Army's biological and chemical warfare weapons have been famous for a long time. Many mutant zombies have combined with the human body, resulting in some strange and strange changes.
If it cannot be restrained, once it escapes from the encirclement, with its powerful evolutionary ability, it may not be long before another type of extremely terrifying monster appears.
The Supreme Management Committee of the Soul Palace had already received the information and sent troops very timely. When they saw the Lute Army military base reduced to ruins, they already knew that the overall situation was decided.
Led by elite troops, a large number of blood warriors and ghost warriors took action to kill various mutant monsters running around in the ruins.
At the same time, various military branches entered it at the same time, either to control the survivors or to collect various materials. These are the core to lay the foundation for the continued enhancement of the Soul Palace in the future.
Even if the Soul Palace does not take the path of biochemical warrior transformation in the future, having the research data accumulated by the Lute Army over the years will provide another evolutionary route for the training and transformation of the human body.
……
Hiss!
Under the ruins, various research laboratories are distributed in the underground spaces layer by layer.
Zheng Yi walked among the ruins, looking like a ghost, but even so, he would be attacked by mutated monsters from time to time.
The sword he dropped from the sky shattered the underground cage and released all the mutated monsters.
Amidst the terrifying roar, the bloody aura from the opposite side was strong, and a terrifying crawling monster seven or eight meters in length with exposed flesh and blood pounced towards him like lightning.
Zheng Yi glanced at him, with cold ripples blooming in his eyes.
A white sword energy flashed and disappeared together with the huge ruined stone wall in front of him.
The sword energy passed by, and the crawler that rushed out of the shadows was directly split into two, with blood and intestines flowing all over the ground, and the muscle fibers in it were clearly exposed.
In Zheng Yi's view, these zombie evolutions are already very difficult to deal with, and pure physical attacks are already extremely powerful. Even ordinary superpowers will have to spend a certain amount of effort to deal with these monsters.
It would be even more troublesome if you were besieged by crawlers.
It's a pity that these monsters are dealing with him. In front of Zheng Yi, as his thoughts flashed through, Zheng Yi left a body wherever he passed.
It must be said that the Lut Army's underground human laboratory is progressing very rapidly. After these years of research and accumulation, enough information has been mastered.
Crawlers are only the most rudimentary zombie evolution, and more advanced evolved human-modified organisms have also made breakthrough progress.
Especially that they have used these evolved forms of zombies on their own human bodies.
When Zheng Yi turned into the god of Mount Tai and looked down at the base, the leader of the Lute Army, the General, turned into the Terrorist, and the other two evolved tyrants almost had the strength of the foundation building stage.
If given enough time, the Tru Army can cultivate a terrifying biochemical army.
By then, even without the sudden rise of the Soul Palace, I am afraid that the distribution of power in Luocheng will have undergone huge changes.
Of course, it is also possible for the mutant monster to get out of control. If it escapes from the military base, it will cause an unimaginable disaster.
At the very least, it is absolutely difficult for other small gathering forces in Luocheng to resist the attack of this mutant monster.
For Zheng Yi, he personally took action and destroyed the military bases of the Redeemer Alliance and the Root Army in one fell swoop. Although it was done smoothly, it could be regarded as eradicating the two biggest cancers in Luocheng.
......
"So, it turns out that there are other secrets underneath this military base..."
Caught a few researchers casually, Zheng Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense. He wanted to pry the secrets out of their mouths, but he had to waste more words, so he simply searched for their souls.
Anyway, no one here is innocent.
With his current powerful soul power, he can seduce these ordinary people and obtain a large number of memory fragments. Many of the inside stories of the research base surprised Zheng Yi.
More importantly, I have a deeper understanding of the cruelty of human experiments.
Sure enough, the most cruel things in this world to the same kind are often done by humans themselves.
And one of the many inside stories they got from their minds made Zheng Yi feel very interested.
As the rules of the world change, the blood moon comes to the world, and zombies come, many monsters that cannot be guessed by common sense appear in this world, beyond human imagination.
For example, the Tai Sui human brain on the eighth floor underground of the Black God Group Building, the cave corpse god enshrined by the Redeemer Alliance Church...
Now, in the deepest underground of the Lute Army's military research base, Zheng Yi is again Found one.
Skeleton Man-Eating Tree!
From the memories of those researchers, Zheng Yi discovered that many human biochemical research experiments seemed to be based on the skeleton man-eating tree.
It can be said that this terrifying skeleton tree is the core of the entire laboratory. Zheng Yi kept walking down and soon reached the last level of the base's underground research space.
Zheng Yi suddenly discovered that this place was extremely huge, like an independently opened space.
In the center of the empty space, an ancient tree that is 40 to 50 meters tall stands there.
At first glance, it gives people an extremely evil feeling.
You don’t need to get close, just take a look from a distance, and you will inexplicably feel that an evil is shrouding the body and constantly eroding the human soul, as if it is going to distort the individual’s will and spirit.
The tree was pitch black, without any leaves around it, and its branches were twisted. Many human skeletons were stuck tightly on it and grew together with the tree. This may be the origin of its name.
Sure enough, it is a very strange big tree that may eat you at any time.
“There is a human face growing on the tree trunk?!”
“This thing is very similar to the soul-eating tree recorded in the rumors of the Soul-Destroying Sect, but it has a huge appearance. Different..."
Zheng Yi's eyes were sharp. He looked at the thick tree trunk that seven or eight people could not wrap around, and he couldn't help but become more and more curious.
Then as he slowly approached, a crack slowly opened between Zheng Yi's eyebrows, and golden light penetrated, helping him see through the emptiness of everything.
Zheng Yi was surprised to find that not only was a human face condensed on the tree trunk, but also a ball of soul energy was faintly suspended in the core of the tree. It seemed that it had swallowed too many humans. This strange tree It actually started to derive its own spiritual body.
And that soul body is a terrifying and twisted human skull face.
Although it does not look like eyes, nose or other facial features, it is more like a skull-like white mask, but the basic outline is indeed revealed.
"Perhaps this skeleton tree is really the soul-eating tree in the rumors of the Soul-Destroying Sect?! It just grew up in a doomsday world and swallowed too many monsters and zombies, causing some kind of mutation..."
A bold idea appeared in Zheng Yi's mind.
“This soul-eating tree is a treasure among plants for immortal cultivators who practice ghost control techniques. It can even be cultivated as a natal spiritual plant...”
“Try Give it a try!"
Zheng Yi became interested. He stretched out his hand, and a powerful force of magic spread out, directly rolling up a crawler in the space above his head and pulling it down hard.
The crawler roared violently and tried to attack Zheng Yi, but was pushed by an invisible force and flew directly towards the skeleton man-eating tree.
He would like to take a look, is this skeleton man-eating tree the soul-eating tree recorded in the ghost-control classics?
But the result was beyond Zheng Yi’s surprise.
The creeper fell in front of the skeleton man-eating tree, suddenly gave up the struggle, and like a docile kitten, lay quietly in front of it, motionless, without any tendency to attack, and The Skeleton Man-Eating Tree didn't attack it either.
"What is the reason for this? This skeleton man-eating tree seems to release some kind of spiritual radio waves to control mutated and evolved monsters..."
Zheng Yi frowned slightly, but even more so. It's because of interest.
At this time, as if it was suddenly activated, under the perception of Zheng Yi's soul power, he suddenly discovered that a mysterious wave was continuously emitting from the inside of the skeleton man-eating tree, in a ripple manner, towards the tree. Spreading rapidly around.
In the spreading area, the mysterious spiritual fluctuations swept through every mutated monster. Those monsters immediately seemed to have received instructions and attacked all the humans around them crazily.
The people who survived in the entire research base are all researchers involved in biochemical modification experiments.
At first, these people used other similar people as experimental subjects for research, but now they themselves have become the targets of arrest, and they have fallen into despair one by one.
Zheng Yi soon discovered that under the instructions of the Skeleton Man-eating Tree, those mutated and evolved crawlers did not kill human researchers when they caught them. Instead, they gathered on a large scale into the deepest space underground, gathering all The captured researchers were thrown in front of the skeleton man-eating tree.
In just a moment, the survivors on the entire floor were all attacked indiscriminately, and these researchers were taken to the underground space.
Looking at the huge and ferocious skeletal man-eating tree, many researchers turned pale, as if thinking of the tragic ending.
Zheng Yi stood in front of them, but they turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, as if they couldn't see it at all.
The level gap between the two sides is too big. Zheng Yi's soul power does not want these people to see it, and it is enough to block the perception of him by these monsters and humans.
Among the creatures present, I am afraid that only the skeleton man-eating tree can have a slight contact with Zheng Yi's soul. Unfortunately, this thing is muddy and has not yet opened its spiritual intelligence. Only a part of its instincts are left. Zheng Yi can feel I feel instinctive fear and dare not approach even more.
"Don't..."
"Ah!"
At this time, Zheng Yi clearly saw that the skeleton man-eating tree seemed to have been stimulated by something, and it suddenly rustled. Moved.
Aware of this scene, the researchers who woke up changed their minds and started to scream wildly, trying to escape from the control of the skeleton man-eating tree.
Unfortunately, everything is in vain, at the time when the breath of human life appears.
Zheng Yi clearly saw that the human face on the trunk of the skeleton man-eating tree suddenly became extremely excited and became even more distorted.
The motionless skeleton man-eating tree, which had been stagnant there, suddenly came to life. Thick roots stretched out from the ground, like flexible tentacles, with a sharp wind, and instantly All the researchers were enveloped.
“Ah!”
The shrill screams echoed in the empty underground space, but the tentacles were seen stretching out, like powerful pythons, directly pulling the researchers They were tied up, and sharp thorns protruded from the branches, piercing into the bodies of these researchers without hesitation.
Almost within a breath, the bodies of the researchers seemed to have shrunk and quickly shriveled up. Their clothes fell off, leaving only a few bones scattered on the ground.
The whole process was so short that people couldn't react at all. The researchers turned into small piles of bones and fell to the ground.
This is also the last thing they leave to the world, just like they did with their experimental subjects.
Zheng Yi looked on with cold eyes. In fact, with his strength, he had a chance to save these people. However, these people all had deep grievances, and there was a cause and effect. These researchers were riddled with grievances and deserved this disaster. .
Zheng Yicai was too lazy to make any unnecessary moves.
“Is that the reality of evolution that the Biochemical Research Base said?!”
Zheng Yi noticed that after devouring many researchers, the surface of the skeleton man-eating tree was bare On the branches, several fruits of different colors grew.
There are green ones, orange ones, red ones...
These fruits that exude an alluring aroma, combined with bare tree branches and black trunks dotted with pale skulls, give A very strange feeling.
Judging from the memories obtained by Zheng Yi’s soul search, after this skeleton man-eating tree swallows living people, it will grow some strange fruits, which are called the reality of evolution by scientific researchers. Those fruits will cause changes in the human body.
A large part of the subjects of the experimental base come from this.
This skeleton man-eating tree is also one of the most important treasures in the entire base.
The origin of the final creation of zombie-like evolved monsters like mutated terrors, abominations, and crawlers is also related to this.
Of course, only some of the people can mutate. After most of the human bodies swallow these fruits, they simply cannot bear the heavy pressure. Their genes collapse and they will directly turn into unconscious zombies. They are among the worst. Useless garbage.
Will be imprisoned in the underground testing ground and continue to be a test subject.
Over the years, the Root Army military base has captured a large number of ordinary humans for human experiments. Although the process was very cruel and bloody, it did achieve very significant results.
It has been possible to initially carry out large-scale human genetic experiments. Even high-ranking military officials have undergone biological modification. The stronger the strength and willpower of people, the greater the extent of their evolution after modification.
