Origin of Mars

Chapter 55 Broken
Country M, Tenth District, East Command.

The officers sat close together along the conference table, with their hands flat, staring at a certain position in front of them, without saying a word.

Schiff was sitting at the front of the conference table, playing with an old pocket watch, and several bloody photos were displayed on the projection screen behind him.

There is no mosaic applied to these physically uncomfortable photos, with broken bones, detached muscles, and organs everywhere tangled together indiscriminately.

In the silent conference room, these bloody photos seemed particularly abrupt.

Some of the military officers present belonged to the civilian field, and they almost didn't spit out when they saw these photos for the first time.

"click~"

Until the pointer of the pocket watch pointed to a certain time and made a slight noise, Schiff finally raised his eyes slowly, scanned the conference table, and said in a deep voice:
"Good afternoon, everyone."

"See the picture behind me? I'm sorry for making some of you uncomfortable."

Schiff's eagle-like eyes swept across the officers, "But what I want you to know is that this was an accident that just happened yesterday at the Yarudel Research Base, where our data processing headquarters was attacked by unknown forces. Attack, all five researchers in one of the control rooms were killed, and the murderer did not even leave a complete body."

"The guards have been involved in this incident. I am the commander-in-chief, General."

An officer named Lil Russen stood up and saluted Schiff.

"Very well, sit down, Lil."

Schiff glanced at Lear, nodded immediately, and motioned him to sit down.

"Your guards did a good job. They blocked the scene immediately, controlled the relevant personnel, and reduced the loss of information."

"You should also know what I mean. If this information is known by some media, they may criticize the military for conducting genetic modification experiments in secret again."

Schiff leaned back in his chair, looked at Lear, and said slowly, "Play that surveillance video."

"As ordered, General."

Lear nodded, stood up from his seat, took out a small USB flash drive, walked to the projection screen, and inserted it into the terminal device.

A few seconds later, these bloody images disappeared, replaced by a clear surveillance video.

The content in the picture is exactly the data control room where the accident occurred, several professors and researchers are coming and going, processing documents, and talking about something from time to time.

Such a peaceful scene lasted about 5 minutes, when Schiff suddenly said coldly:
"Look at that door on the right."

After the voice fell, everyone's eyes moved to the fire door.

This type of protective door will only be installed on the block where important materials are stored. It is thicker, and its main structure is a metal skin, which is filled with cement or other flame-retardant and heat-insulating materials.

And at this moment, the door was suddenly torn open with a huge gap.

That's right, tear it apart.

A pitch-black, sickle-like sharp organ pierced out of this opening.

It hooked a certain raised iron area, and with a sudden pull, the thick fire door and the door frame in the wall were forcibly pulled out!

It can be seen from the screen that everyone present was stunned and froze in place. Only one female researcher reacted, ran to the table and pressed the alarm switch.

Afterwards, the red light rising like a sea tide instantly boiled over the entire research room.

Perhaps affected by the dazzling light, the movement of the sickle became more and more violent.

It knocked down another door in an instant, and a huge deformed head finally protruded out of the gap, appearing in everyone's sight!

Although Schiff was the first person to obtain this surveillance video, when he saw this strange picture again, a certain part of his heart still trembled involuntarily.

He could even imagine the expressions and psychological conditions of these researchers at that time.

This head is about the size of half a fire door, and there is no pupil, or some kind of visual organ.

But every officer, including Schiff, seemed to be able to feel that the huge, dark, deformed head was staring at him closely.

No one wants to experience this horrible feeling a second time.

Immediately afterwards, the head broke through the passage, shattering some cement and gravel, and the two sickle-shaped feet pierced the ground forcefully, driving the whole body to crawl forward.

Compared with its huge head, its shriveled and thin body is obviously very weak, with no legs distributed on it, more like the second half of a snail's body.

Afterwards, the head part began to squirm, instilling some kind of substance into the shriveled body.

The ratio of the two is rebalancing at breakneck speed.

At this point, several researchers finally came to their senses, and frantically fled towards the door in panic.

At this time, the electronic gate originally used to ensure safety has become the death gate connecting hell.

This monster that seems to have evolved has already popped out like a python. Its body is pitch black, and only a black shadow can be seen flashing past in the screen, which shows how fast its speed is!
The screen paused abruptly, and Schiff turned around and looked at the officers again. There seemed to be something else in his eyes.

"Everyone, three minutes of silence for them."

"They dedicate their noble lives to the cause they devoted themselves to, and they are warriors worthy of respect."

Schiff's words seemed to be sighing, and like everyone else, he closed his eyes wearily.

A respectful silence hovered in the meeting room, and no one wanted to watch the second half of the surveillance screen, because they already knew what happened.

Unreasonable anger and fear intertwined in the bottom of my heart.

Three minutes later, Schiff opened his eyes, and the determined eyes reappeared.

"In my personal capacity, I would like to thank Colonel Lil Luxon, who led his team to successfully strangle this monster without any casualties."

After his words fell, Lear stood up again, and nodded to the respectful eyes cast around him:
"We shot out of the window first. Because of the electronic gate, this monster couldn't rush out immediately. It's unbelievable that ordinary 7.62mm rifle bullets can't do any damage to it. I saw the bullet go into it with my own eyes. A cut was made in his body, and in the next few seconds, the wound healed at an extremely fast speed, leaving no trace."

"It's unbelievable to say."

Schiff looked solemn, shook his head, and stretched out his hand to signal him to continue.

"Fortunately, we carried a kind of armor fragmentation bullet with us. This kind of special bullet is often used to deal with vehicles such as armored vehicles. With the help of these bullets, we kept shooting towards it until the continuous shock wave was completely destroyed. destroyed its head."

Leighton paused, "I've never had this feeling before, like shooting at an extremely hard iron ball."

"Okay, thank you for your statement, Colonel Lear."

Schiff nodded at him, exhaled heavily, and continued:
"The remains of this monster's body have been handed over to the relevant departments, and they haven't received the results yet. According to the current information, no experiments on genetic modification have been carried out at the Yarudel Research Base."

"So the origin of this monster, or what area is behind the fire door, I need a relevant person in charge to come out and answer my question."

Schiff looked around for a week, and after a few minutes, an officer finally stood up slowly under his gaze, looked at the compiled report in front of him and said:

"General, the control room where the accident occurred was conducting research and investigation on the poison gas case at the Lords Farm."

"After special treatment and guidance, the density of poisonous gas in this basement has been weakened a lot. During this period of time, researchers have conducted many samplings in this basement and found some very strange substances."

"After processing, this substance is in the form of a pitch-black powder. It is impossible to analyze its composition. The only thing that can be determined is that it still maintains a stable activity."

"Keep it alive? It's the most terrifying gas chamber in the world."

Schiff frowned slightly, and suddenly asked, "Your name."

"Stan Segura, who is also the person in charge of related projects at the Yarudel Research Base, General."

The man with the mustache smiled gracefully.

"...I remember you, go ahead."

Schiff narrowed his eyes. "Can you explain what you said? Since you can't determine its specific ingredients, how can you know that it is active."

"Of course, General. This is a report of relevant data. I just received this report and this unfortunate news a few minutes before the accident. If necessary, I can share the specific content of this report projected."

With a very heavy sadness on his face, Stan asked Schiff for instructions.

"As you please, Lieutenant Colonel Stan."

"Ok."

Stan nodded slightly, walked to the projection screen, and showed the report:

"In fact, according to our very popular words, if you want to judge the composition of a thing, you can use two very intuitive words to express it."

He looked around: "Dead and alive, metal is dead, paper is dead, they have no consciousness and no thinking, they are just simple objects composed of molecules."

"Cells are alive. Each of us is composed of individual cells. It is one billionth of us and has many special structures. Even the smallest bacteria are independent individuals composed of one cell. .”

"But these black substances are beyond imagination. It is based on the difference between the two, and has the characteristics of both."

Stan's eyes brightened slightly, pointing to a certain part on the projection screen and explaining: "We can even conclude that this is a brand new substance, the first substance that has appeared since the birth of the planet under our feet!"

Schiff listened to his explanation quietly, not only him, most of the officers present also maintained the same concentration and calmness.

As Stan's last word fell, a terrifying thought flashed through Schiff's mind.

His fingers that kept tapping on the table trembled unconsciously, and his whole body suddenly straightened up:

"What about these so-called new substances? Where did you keep it?!"

Feeling Schiff's sudden hasty tone, Stan obviously didn't react, and quickly responded:

"Each laboratory is equipped with an independent refrigerated storage room. These black substances are divided into many parts for further variable elimination experiments"

Stan's face also changed, he met Schiff's eyes, and a series of information in his mind was automatically combined at this time.

mysterious substance
freak monster
severely damaged laboratory
In this report, there are many things that Stan did not detail.

For example, researchers have observed that these black substances will consciously attract each other and form a new individual.

Just like the surface of your skin, it is an overall tissue composed of densely packed layers of cells.

Each piece of black matter is an independent individual. They are intertwined and fused with each other. One plus one makes two, two plus two makes four, and if they are continuously superimposed, what will be produced?

"Contact the relevant departments immediately, arrive at the research room where the accident happened, and find out what kind of bullshit black matter is in the storage room!"

"Also! I need the fastest time! Get the analysis result of that deformed monster!!"

Schiff stood up, he had already thought of some kind of terrible result, and he could only yell to hide the fear deep in his heart.

What the hell is going on in this world.

From the mysterious hackers who attacked the aerospace center, to this basement where the gas broke out, and what a shit cult.

More and more strange things are happening gradually.

And Schiff is the personal experiencer of these weird events.

This world is like an ocean, and he seems to have stood among the increasingly turbulent waves, and he can personally feel the cold and fear involuntarily permeating his bones.

His military career should not support his iron will.

In the final analysis, people are emotional creatures, even if they can hide such emotions deep in their hearts.

But in the long years, there will always be something touched.

Schiff felt this way at the moment.

On the huge operating table, a thin blue cloth covered the pitch-black body, and the hideous limbs showed some kind of terrifying sharp arc through the thin cloth.

There are only a few remnants of the head that has evolved into a diamond shape. Before the armor-piercing bullets with ultra-high lethality, the speed of body reorganization is no longer enough to sew up the body separated by large-scale shrapnel.

A certain researcher's hands were trembling slightly, and the silver-white blade removed a piece of rubber-like flesh, cut it, and placed it under the microscope.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and it took a lot of courage to stand beside this monster.

The female researcher was struggling to adjust the position of the mechanical lens barrel, her hands were shaking violently, just like the continuously soaring heartbeat in her chest.

Finally, after successfully focusing, she saw a whole new world under the mirror.

Cell-like black oval objects are gathering together. It can be clearly seen that they are constantly wriggling, trying to maintain their original shape, but unstoppable death seems to be quietly spreading, and every black substance They were gradually becoming transparent and collapsing, and the oval shape of the body could no longer be sustained. After a few seconds, it finally burst like a bubble.
