Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 539

"It's impossible...it's impossible...it's impossible!!" The professor desperately recalled every detail just now, and he was sure that when he took off his protective clothing, his skin had absolutely no protection against the risk of contamination. contact with the surface of the clothing...Even if he was a little flustered, every movement of him was performed according to the standard procedure. This kind of operation has been formed for him, who has been in the biochemical laboratory for more than 20 years. With muscle memory, it is impossible for any step to go wrong.

Then why is he still infected by the "specimen"?

Why?Why?Why?
He grabbed his wrist in some pain, and he could clearly feel that under the bulging flesh sac, those eyeballs were turning crazily, like some kind of biological larva that was about to break out of its shell.

"How did it become like this... Which part of the problem is there?" The professor squatted down, gritted his teeth and thought hard... At this moment, there was a sudden gunshot from the laboratory behind him.

It was the sound of a small-caliber assault rifle equipped with a silencer, and it was the two security personnel who fired!And the moment the gunshot rang out, the laboratory's automatic alarm device was also triggered, and the piercing siren rang through the entire building.

"Damn, they... why... shot..."

The professor felt the pain in his head as if it was about to split open. He struggled to turn around and was about to turn back, but the strength in his body seemed to be emptied. As soon as he took a step, he lost his balance and fell heavily. fell to the ground.

The gunfire stopped, but the sirens continued. The professor could vaguely hear hurried footsteps coming from the stairs at the end of the corridor—he really wanted to ask people not to approach him, but he couldn't make a sound.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

A creepy sound came from the arms, those spherical raised surfaces were like overripe fruits, the skins burst open one after another, the bloodshot eyeballs broke free from the darkness, and looked at their own " Owner".

The professor's eyes and the gazes of these dozen or so eyeballs met immediately.

At this moment, the professor was shocked to find that he saw two images at the same time: his own arm and his own face.

The previous image came from his own eyes, while the latter image came from the eyeballs "grown" on his arms.

Could it be...these eyeballs...are still connected to their own visual system?
Are they intruders parasitic in his body... or... a part of his body?

The people who heard the sirens approached gradually, but to the professor, their footsteps seemed to be getting farther and weaker...

His own field of vision was gradually becoming blurred, but the eyes on his arm still saw clearly.

Vaguely, the professor seems to be able to feel the thoughts of these eyeballs—they seem to be looking for a "new target".

The moment before the professor's consciousness disappeared, he suddenly understood why he was "infected" - these things seem to be "spread" between organisms without direct contact at all, just need...

The professor's consciousness was forever plunged into darkness.

The people who came to the rescue finally ran to the professor. They didn't immediately help the professor who fell on the ground, but pointed their weapons at the professor.

At this moment, all the exposed parts of the professor's body are already covered with large and small grape-like spherical protrusions. These fleshy balls are squeezed and piled up with each other, and it is completely impossible to see the professor's true self. He has lost his face, just like the very famous leper in the old era.

But leprosy has long been conquered, and now the only remaining leprosy pathogen in the world is stored in the underground secret vault of the research institute...

"It's not leprosy!" A researcher who came to support shouted, "The course of leprosy is not so fast, even if it is a mutant strain, it is impossible to develop like this, be careful!"

"Those lumps... the things underneath seem to be moving!" Another researcher wearing a heavy protective suit said, "Could it be... something from the Alpha civilization?"

The researcher who spoke at the beginning glanced at the badge that fell next to the corpse, and asked, "The infected person is Professor Smith. Does any of you know what research projects Professor Smith has recently?"

"It seems that there is a research topic. I saw him report to the leader of the biomedical group two days ago, and he applied for a young researcher as an assistant... But the topic is confidential, and the unrelated personnel did not can't check."

"Oops! This is a troublesome situation... Notify the entire biomedical team to seal off this building, and no one is allowed to enter without permission. In addition, contact the team leader immediately. No one knows what Professor Smith is researching. Team leader For sure!"

"Wait! Professor Li, look... look at Professor Smith's arm! Then... what is that?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the man's fingers, and when they saw those rolling eyes, a female researcher screamed on the spot and fell to the ground.

She struggled to get up from the ground, but in the next second, she found that all the colleagues around her backed away in horror, even the man who clearly loved her and showed her courtesy from time to time, at this time They also hid behind other people, not to mention helping him, looking at him like that, it seemed that he wished to be as far away from himself as possible.

what happened?

The young female researcher was stunned. She found that everyone's eyes were on her face, so she stretched out her hand and carefully touched her face...

She touched a few round, hard things, with a warm touch, like glass balls wrapped in skin.

That's not her thing!She shouldn't have this thing on her face!
The female researcher's mind collapsed in an instant, her five fingers were directly bent into claws, and she wanted to pick these fleshy balls off her face, but the severe pain from the joint between the fleshy balls and the muscles made her unable to bear it. She yelled "Wow" - the roots of these growths have penetrated deeply into the flesh and blood... In other words, they and her face were originally one.

"This transmission speed...the biosafety level is definitely at level four or even higher!" The face of Professor Li who spoke at the beginning suddenly turned pale, "The pathogen is unknown, the route and method of transmission are unknown, and the symptoms are unknown...Everyone, leave immediately This corridor! But you are not allowed to leave this building, and find an unoccupied room nearby for isolation! In addition, notify those who have just heard the alarm and escaped from this building, all self-isolate on the spot! And immediately use communication equipment to report to the crisis Report to the processing department!"

"Professor Li, save me...help me..." Seeing everyone leave quickly, the infected female researcher cried and crawled towards Professor Li, but when she raised her head, she saw Li The professor held a pistol in his trembling hand, and pointed the black muzzle at his head.

"Karin, if you get any closer, I will shoot!" Professor Li yelled in a deep voice, "You have been infected by this unknown pathogen, I really want to save you, but I can't do anything, I can't even guarantee myself and The safety of other people... We can only wait for the crisis management department to solve the problem. You stay here, stay with Professor Smith, don't go anywhere, or..."

Before Professor Li finished speaking, the female researcher speeded up instead: "No... I don't want to stay here! I can't wait for the people from the crisis management department to come! I know how they handle this kind of thing! I will be Throwing them into the incinerator as a 'contaminated product'... or, being sent to the dissection table as a research object... No! I don't want to die! Save me! Save me!"

Seeing that the female researcher was about to crawl closer, Professor Li took a deep breath, closed his eyes, said "I'm sorry" silently, and pulled the trigger.

"Bah!"

Gunshots rang through the building, echoing back and forth in the corridors.

Hearing the gunshot, the male researcher who liked Karin faltered slightly, but the expression on his face did not change significantly. He quickly found an unoccupied cubicle and slipped in. Lock the door smoothly.

He did like Karin, but only for her pretty face and sexy body.

He courted Karin just to get her body.

But the appearance of Karin just now brought him only fear and nausea.

What Professor Li killed was not Karin, but an inhuman monster... He kept muttering to himself, walked quickly to the shelf, took down a bottle of disinfectant from above, unscrewed the bottle cap, and frantically Pour it on yourself.

"Karin is dead... Phew... But at least I'm still alive..." He let out a long breath, and he couldn't help but rejoice that he was not in a hurry to get that woman...ah no, it should be that monster. Help him up, otherwise, he must be infected by now.

That woman is an idiot. The alarm that sounded in the building of the biomedical department was probably due to the leakage of some dangerous pollutants, so the people who came to support were wearing protective clothing, so she didn't wear any protective equipment...

"Idiot woman, she deserves to be infected, she didn't deserve to die at all." He cursed inwardly, "Almost got me into it... It seems that that unknown pathogen can be transmitted through the air, I'm wearing a full suit I'm sure you'll be fine... well, for safety's sake, I'll wear it until the people from the crisis management department come over."

It's a pity that there is only such a bottle of disinfectant at hand. If there were more, he would even wish to take a bath in protective clothing and disinfectant.

But when he scanned the room for useful things, an inexplicable itching suddenly came from his back...

"Damn it? Is it because the protective clothing is too airtight... the sweat-soaked clothes stick to the back, irritating the skin? But I'm just the kind of skin that is prone to allergies?" He wanted to stretch his hands behind his back To scratch twice, but the protective clothing is too thick, and the wearer is not allowed to make such movements at all.

"Damn...it's so itchy...it's so itchy..." The unbearable itching made him almost crazy, but he didn't dare to take off the protective clothing. He had no choice but to lean his back against the wall rubbing back and forth, trying to relieve the itching with rubbing.

But after rubbing twice, he found that something seemed wrong - there seemed to be some lumps on his back, and when he pressed against the wall, he could clearly feel these hard lumps being pressed into the flesh, bursts of The sore feeling comes from where the lump meets the muscle...

……

……

Meanwhile, the "new" East Ninth District.

To return to the hunting group headquarters, apart from private transportation, the fastest way is to take the inter-district light rail, but when Ke Lan and the others just arrived at the station, they saw the last train leaving the platform.

"If I had caught up half a minute earlier..." Qin Zhao brushed the sweat-drenched hair on his forehead - they watched the train pull into the station, but at that time they were more than 200 meters away from the station Nearly 300 meters distance.

If there are no passengers in the station, a train will only stay for 300 seconds at most, and [-] meters in [-] seconds. Unless it is a strengthened person, it will be difficult to rush into the station before the train starts, let alone rush to the station. Bought a ticket at the gate.

In such a peripheral industrial area with a small population, if you miss a train, you will have to wait an hour or more for the next train.

There are many trains entering and leaving the industrial area, but most of them are trucks transporting industrial equipment and materials. These trucks are not open to ordinary people, and they do not take the route of conventional trains.

Therefore, they could only choose another "shortcut" - cross the newly built "East Ninth District", then rent a hovercar in East Eighth District, and return to the hunting group headquarters.

It has been several months since the completion of the new East Ninth District, but very few residents have moved into it. Many blocks are still uninhabited, and most of the shops facing the street are still in the state of rough houses. There are a few renovated stores, but the doors are also closed, with the sign of "opening soon".

"I feel that the newly built East Ninth District is not even as prosperous as the East Tenth District..." Ke Lan pointed to the unoccupied houses and said, "These are the lowest-standard housing, the kind that are not even equipped with smart housekeepers. ...Are the officials planning to turn this place into a slum?"

"According to the geographical location of the East Ninth District, there should be more people here soon, but it is definitely not comparable to before." 33 said.

The reason why the East Ninth District was so prosperous at the beginning was entirely because it was the residence of the "Arasaka Consortium". As the leader of the East Ninth District, the Arasaka Consortium would naturally manage this land well.But now, the Arasaka consortium is gone, and the newly built East Ninth District seems to have nothing to attract investment from large consortiums.

"I have an idea... I want to move the hunting group's headquarters here." Ke Lan said suddenly.
