358. The more you listen, the more strange
This was a very common energy source in pre-civilization times, an ultra-small, stable and controllable nuclear fusion fuel device.
This type of fuel rod was often used to power some independent buildings and large companies. However, later on, many organizations used it to do illegal things, and it was even used by some small groups with unknown purposes as strategic materials or as arms trafficking. Things are strictly controlled by the military leaders of the "Planetary Council".
This epoch-making product has many advantages. Not only is it highly effective in cleaning, but once activated, its theoretical validity period can reach decades or even hundreds of years.
Because it involves hundreds of patented technologies, its sales are limited to a certain range. It is said to have been developed by a well-known large arms company at the time. The founder of that company was called Sir Trough.
The reason why she knew this thing was very simple, because this powerful miniature nuclear fuel rod emitted huge energy all the time, and it was difficult for people to find it.
Unable to wait to use tools to open the tightly wrapped layers of shells, Joyner's hands exuded an extremely cold breath, making the atomic structure of all metal materials as crisp as biscuits. Then she directly pinched off several layers of shells and threw them away. After removing all unnecessary garbage, a section of the cylindrical core was pulled out.
But when she got it in her hands, she suddenly realized that the nuclear fuel rod actually had the logo of the "America" space city printed on it.
All surrounding lights were instantly extinguished, and the green and blue electric fires gradually disappeared on the petri dish. All energy supplies in the laboratory were cut off, and the space that was buzzing just now quickly fell silent.
The ultra-low temperature condensed in Joyner's hands "quickly freezes" the fuel rods. Of course, if an ordinary person had held this thing, it would have been reduced to ashes, but her ability just made it calm down. Simply effortless.
After doing all this, she thought that she should keep the samples of these "extinctors" so that they could be taken back for Su Zhe and others to study. So, she went back, randomly selected a cabin, and waved a beautiful arc of light with her hand. , chopped off the finger of an "Exterminator".
However, just when she was about to put the severed finger into the outer armor of her leg, she suddenly felt hot all over, a feeling of hunger suddenly came over her, and a desire arose in her heart - she could not control the urge to eat it. desire.
Then, the amputated finger instantly melted into her hand. To be precise, it was completely absorbed in her palm!
Joyner was shocked by this discovery. She looked down and saw some tiny granules crawling out of her palms, like mouthparts with sharp teeth. The top granules split, like carnivorous plants. , tightly wrapping the pieces of flesh and blood, and then devouring them.
Her desire became stronger and stronger, and the feeling of hunger became stronger. In desperation, she could only use strong willpower to suppress this feeling. The trembling palms returned to white and ruddy, and it was only then that she remembered-could it be Is this what Su Zhe once said about "phagocytic cells"?
"Hmm - when did I evolve this ability? Could it be..." Joyner had a vague premonition in her heart.
But now she couldn't care less, and she was ready to try again.
This time she calmed down, suppressed her thirsty body cells, swung out her arm, and cut off another finger on the "Exterminator" hand.
Suddenly, her eyes saw that the severed finger was still moving, and the blood flowing on it was so tempting.
At the same time, that feeling of hunger and thirst came over again!
As powerful as she is, she can't control her actions.
It felt like a cat that had smelled fish. Countless tiny granules appeared again, wrapping and wrapping around faster, filling up the original desire. The body appeared like an instinct to hunt prey, and no one could resist it.
She immediately devoured the severed finger.
Having eaten meat twice in a row, she couldn't stop. What she thought in her heart was "I don't want it", but her body answered honestly "I want it".
At this moment, the dark blue light in the petri dish suddenly turned on. Somehow, the power supply was restored.
This is a protective measure. Only to maintain the energy supply of the petri dish, the laboratory's backup power supply is turned on.
However, Joyner soon felt that something was not right. The life index around her was rising rapidly, and the powerful aura was thick. Some cabins would emit "buzzing" currents, and others would hear something knocking on the bulkhead from time to time.
sound.
She was startled, and the bad premonition came again. Only then did she realize that this was not a simple protective measure. The petri dish equipment equipped with the Intelligent Brain would obviously not easily interrupt the modulation of the "Exterminator"
, some kind of mandatory plan mechanism has been activated.
"No, these 'extinerators' can't wake up! The backup power supply must be turned off." Her expression was stern, and she quickly thought of a way to deal with it.
Just when Joyner wanted to check and see where the backup power supply was, the glass cover next to her suddenly flashed a blue electric fire, and a mechanical arm accurately landed on the control panel of the hatch cover, making a slight sound.
There was a "click" sound. Immediately afterwards, the eyes of a female "Exterminator" suddenly opened in front of Joyner. There was an extremely hollow look in her eyes. After seeing her, she became hot. Soon, a
A fierce murderous intention was revealed.
Even when these "extinerators" are asleep, the smart chips on the back of their necks have received commands to destroy the intruders.
The battle breaks out in an instant!
A yellow ray of light flashed from the empty eyes of the female "extinctor", and instantly turned into a scorching high temperature, melting point by point, penetrating the cover of the petri dish.
Joyner was only half a meter away from her. She already had a premonition of what was going to happen when the cover of the petri dish shattered. In the flash of lightning, there was no time to think of a way to deal with it. She saw that she could not escape. It was shocking.
Her instinctive reaction came back, causing her to make a horrifying move.
White light also appeared in her eyes at the same time, and the surrounding space seemed to have solidified, and a cold breath came out against the heat.
Heat was exchanged rapidly between the two people, the molecules inside the air moved violently, and the area sandwiched between them became extremely unstable. The flow of energy was too fast, causing an exponentially high negative pressure in a very short period of time.
"Boom!" There was a loud noise.
The terrifying negative pressure caused an explosion, and violent air waves rolled up ten meters around. The air waves were like knife cuts, causing cracks to appear on the surfaces of several large iron barrels instantly.
Joyner's disguise was completely shattered by the violent impact, and an invisible cold shield protected her like a skin suit.
On the other hand, this "Exterminator" was still in the debugging stage, and her body obviously did not have the strong defense capabilities of Joyner. The shock wave hit the petri dish heavily, causing damage to the torso and limbs below the head.
It was so cracked that she could hardly stand.
At the same time, the blood and body tissue on her body sprayed out, and cracks deep into the bones were visible on her body. Her appearance was no longer visible, only the outline of a mutilated human form.
What happened next made Joyner herself extremely surprised. The terrifying hunger hit her again, making her unable to control her behavior.
A scarlet spike sprouted from her arm, exuding violent energy, and the veins on it squirmed like blood vessels. Countless sharp mouthparts drilled out from the cracks on the surface of the spike, showing uncontrollable power.
The fluctuations shook her body and mind.
The body tissue and blood-red blood erupted by the "Exterminator" surged toward the spike like a tide under the powerful suction force.
The Scarlet Thorn did not let go of a drop of blood. Even the blood drops on the ground bounced up and were devoured in just a few seconds.
"No! What's going on?"
At this time, Joyner seemed to be stimulated by the smell of blood, and she felt unbearably hot all over her body. In order to get rid of this uncontrollable feeling, in desperation, she stepped on two holes in the floor, released the cold breath, and put her
The feet were frozen and fixed inside.
In addition to several nearby equipment that were destroyed, other equipment in the laboratory also began to operate.
More current was conducted on the thick cables, and there were more and more blue sparks, soon making all the petri dishes light up. Waves of white gas spurted out from the gaps in the originally transparent container hatch.
There were constant crackling sounds of glass shattering all around, several hatches were opened, the red skin of the "Exterminator" glowed as brightly as lava, and the temperature in the laboratory rose rapidly.
Joyner's heart was in unspeakable pain. She wanted to escape from here, but her feet were firmly fixed on the ground. If those "extinerators" woke up, they would probably be blown up even if they were protected by cold armor.
Shattered to pieces.
But just like the primitive hunting instinct, just when she lost all hope, the blood thorns on her arms surged to nearly a few meters, and with lightning speed, they pierced towards the nearby petri dish that had not yet been opened.
Like a puppet being manipulated by others, her original desires drive her, making her unable to control her movements.
Several more "Exterminators" opened their eyes, and what greeted them were scarlet spikes as thick as a thumb, which penetrated directly through their bodies, stirring the wounds and splattering more blood.
More and more petri dishes were opened. The expressions of these people were as if they had seen a savage beast. They saw the spikes passing through their bodies and then poking at another row of equipment. They had no time to react or defend themselves. Many of them even
The uninjured experimental subjects also struggled to escape from the cabin.
They have no chance.
To be precise, the spike didn't give them a chance at all. Pieces of blood mist expanded in the air and were absorbed in an instant. The countless mouthparts on the spike were like nestlings waiting to be fed, not missing any opportunity to eat.
Every time it comes into contact with an "Exterminator", the blood thorn penetrates their body mercilessly, getting faster and faster, twisting and pulling, instantly widening the blood hole, and then more blood gushes out.
Scarlet spikes flew in the air, sweeping across, and the sounds of shattering and screams were endless.
