Chapter 4: Kun Whales
One week after Commander Mu entered the laboratory, the laboratory stopped the selective breeding. All those who received the proposal responded about the rumored executioner had completed the breeding.
In this regard, some people are shocked, regretful, and gloated.
“It’s a pity, I still want to try what it’s like to be with the Executioner.”
“Maybe it’s quite interesting. After all, he is the first mutant.”
“Hahaha, you said that the Executioner has been amazing for a lifetime. In the end, it’s not about opening your thighs to a man.”
“Tsk, it’s disgusting that a man can still have children.”
This matter became the after-dinner talk of the military region but no one knew who had sex with the executioner.
Luo Xiaowei couldn’t help but follow the discussion: “It seems that the breeding program has been suspended for a month. If the executioner is really pregnant, is the cub in his stomach a month old?”
The mobile team that drove the patrol together. Gu Yang snapped his fingers and counted: “He really has it?”
“There’s no way he didn’t have it in the laboratory.”
Gu Yang thought it was reasonable.
“Then the bastard’s father…” Gu Yang wanted to ask excitedly.
But as far as his eyes were concerned, Mu Yechen walked out of the camp.
“Commander!” The two immediately ended the conversation and immediately sit up straight with their backs upright in unison.
Their commander doesn’t like the laboratory and hates alien species more. The executioner is structurally similar to the alien creature and the humanoid weapon of the laboratory, so it better to not be mentioned it in front of him.
As soon as Mu Yechen came over, he saw that his two subordinates stood up straighter than the benchmark.
“You’re bringing bad children again?” He glanced at Luo Xiaowei.
“No! First, I’m sharing with Gu Yang the experience and skills of how to fight in the beast swarm!” Luo Xiaowei’s expression did not change.
He poked Gu Yang’s elbow behind his back.
Gu Yang reacted quickly: “That’s right, commander. Big Brother Luo said that when the beast swarm comes, you must look in all directions, listen to all directions. If you don’t move, you will be killed with one strike!”
“Luo Xiaowei is quite a set. “
Mu Yechen smiled, and he nodded, “I will arrange for you to demonstrate to it to Gu Yang next time, how about it?”
Luo Xiaowei’s face instantly turned pale.
When the beast tide comes, the strength of both sides is the decisive factor, but his ability is biased towards assistance and is not suitable for large-scale battles.
Under Mu Yechen’s gaze, his neck froze, and he closed his eyes and said loudly: “Commander, no problem! Luo Xiaowei is willing to go through fire and water for mankind, let the beast tide come more violently!”
The impassioned words echoed on the playground, Luo Xiaowei tried his best to make a righteous and awe-inspiring gesture.
But at this moment, a drop of water suddenly stuck on his face.
“…”
Luo Xiaowei was stunned for a moment, his eyes slowly moved to the remaining water stains on his right cheek.
Soon, he felt his hair, his training uniform and the ground being patted wet.
Mu Yechen also looked at him and the water stains on his body.
After three seconds, his expression finally cracked.
“Commander, I’m sorry!”
Luo Xiaowei’s hunch was correct.
The other base unexpectedly ushered in an acid rain.
Acid rain, also known as acid precipitation. In the last century, fire storms and the greenhouse effect destroyed the surface ecosystem. As a result, there was no rain for a long time except for that accident.
Thinking of the accident, the expressions of the three present have changed. Mu Yechen’s eyes immediately became heavy.
In order to prevent the military region’s combat readiness from being corroded, he ordered Luo Xiaowei and Gu Yang to notify everyone in the military region to cover the open-air equipment to avoid rain.
And he himself set off quickly to the tower.
On the way, he really received an emergency notification from the laboratory.
The three commanders of the military district soon gathered in the tower.
Inside the tower, the female doctor in the white coat used the atmospheric image to quickly circle a red dot: “We found a large number of planktonic giant lifeforms at a distance of 1,900 kilometers in a straight line to the south. Combined with our detection of the composition of acid rain, we speculate that it is South Taiping. The Kun whales began to migrate to the Arctic Ocean. They raised the South Pacific water vapor, blocked the air convection and caused acid rain to start here.”
“What is their route?” asked a commander in his late sixties.
“According to the detection, the scope of this beast tide covers the entire base.”
The faces of the people present suddenly became heavy.
They had encountered such a phenomenon once, and that was the beast tide five years ago.
The ancestors of the Kun whale were not originally able to fly. It is a new life form produced by the fusion of the Holocene era tropical marine creatures hornbill whales and archaea.
After the mutation, the king whale not only broke through its size, but also produced a new type of heteroblast that can fly in the atmosphere. They can freely travel to and from the oceans.
At the same time, their huge and rich meat has attracted countless predators on land. Coveted, countless alienation The tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves follow the migrating Kun whales, trying their best to catch their prey.
The human race is also in their food chain.
The last cataclysm caused by the Kun Whale destroyed almost all of the alien defense facilities on the other side and the alien species entered the eastern district for food, reducing the other side’s population by half.
At that time, eight of the top ten commanders died in the battle. Except for the newly promoted young commander Mu Yechen, the only remaining generals from the old batch were the sixty-year-old veteran Antlan and the forty-year-old general female commander, Morianna.
“Acid sedimentation, at least we know the information about them coming five years ago.”
The female commander Morianna took a deep breath and tried to keep her voice as calm as possible, “How long will this beast tide come?”
“The Kun whale is currently swimming forward at a speed of 60 kilometers per day and is expected to reach the other side in a month.”
Morianna’s face suddenly became even more ugly.
In order to ease the atmosphere, the female doctor thought for a while, and then said: “But our laboratory’s preliminary analysis shows that this disaster is not completely indecipherable.”
“What do you mean?” The old commander’s eyes lit up with hope again.
The female doctor swept the surviving generals present.
“According to the laboratory’s judgment, Kun whales are swarming creatures and communicate information through sound waves. We can install air vibration devices on the only path of Kun whales to interfere with the whale’s trajectory and make their direction deviate from the other side.”
“So we need to send a team to complete this task.” At this time, a voice sounded in the tower.
“Head.” The four people present called at the same time.
After a pause, he continued to speak with mechanical currents mixed in his voice: “The air vibration device needs to be installed 900 kilometers away from the base and the whale’s itinerary needs to be changed before there to ensure that the disaster of migration does not radiate to the base.”
80 kilometers is the monitoring range of the base. Once left, human beings face a complex and changeable geological structure, a dangerous living environment, and alien archaea that are dormant on the surface and can infect living beings at any time.
Few people can survive on their own.
But for the safety of the humans on the other side, the three commanders must go to one person to carry out this task.
“I’ll do it.” In the end, Mu Yechen replied.
“Okay.” The leader was also satisfied with the answer, and he replied: “Commander Mu, this task is arduous and our laboratory will go all out to support you.”
The expressions of the other two commanders gradually calmed down: “Commander Mu, the soldiers under our command are also at your disposal.”
“No.”
But Mu Yechen quickly refused and he examined the whale’s route map: “80 kilometers away is a dangerous area. The more people there are, the more inconvenient it is to move, I’m more efficient with mypeople.”
The Savior once commanded his sub-unit to block the attack of the alien species in the east and west in the cataclysm. The commanders looked at him with confidence and said nothing.
However, Mu Yechen turned his eyes and looked at the source of the leader’s voice: “But before I leave, I want to meet someone.”
The leader said, “Commander Mu runs around for mankind. If there is any request, the laboratory will try its best to meet it. .”
Mu Yechen raised his lips, and the back of a single human figure appeared in his mind.
“I thought the leader would have guessed” he replied.
Mu Yechen’s request was finally approved by the head of the laboratory. He entered the laboratory and went to visit the humanoid combat weapon number 01 cultivated at the base.
The location of No. 01 is on the second floor of the ground. It is made of reinforced steel with one-way perspective. Except for the ventilation holes, the entire monitoring room is airtight.
Mu Yechen stood on the corridor and through the tempered glass, he finally saw the rumored executioner again.
At this time, the executioner was immersed in the solution. His whole body was covered with large patches and test tubes, he was unconsciously suspended in the liquid like a specimen in formalin.
Mu Yechen stood outside the corridor for a long time but he didn’t see any signs of waking up.
“He’s always been like this?” He finally couldn’t help asking.
“Yes.”
An accompanying female doctor replied, “As long as number 01 doesn’t perform the mission, we will put him into a deep sleep which is the safest way to rest.”
“What about his basic necessities?”
“Commander Mu, No. 01 does not need a human way of life.”
“…” Mu Yechen fell silent.
The first-generation mutants are the product of the fusion of humans with archaea and extra-organisms. However, he is more like a xenogeneic, no one will take him as a human.
The commander thought again of the weak and determined back of the man in the resistance camp, as well as the suppressed sob-like breathing in the surveillance room.
Afraid of his misunderstanding, the female doctor continued to explain: “He is a combination of humans and unknown woody plants. He can use plant characteristics for photosynthetic survival. In his current state, human food will burden his lifespan.”
Twelve anti-ultraviolet lamps shine brightly, as if to confirm the female doctor’s statement, the nutrient solution is sparkling.
Mu Yechen raised his hand and slowly stroked the tempered glass.
“So next time I come over, he will still look like this?”
“It can be said from the appearance.”
Mu Yechen looked at the female doctor in confusion.
The female doctor smiled and said, “Commander Mu’s return should be a month later. After a month, the embryo in his body has basically formed. Physiologically, he may have a pregnancy reaction.”
Mu Yechen’s eyes suddenly shifted to Lin Xi’s flat stomach.
“What will you do to him then?”
“To study the xenomorph of human beings, we will conduct experiments on him and his embryos at the same time.”
In the corridor, sophisticated instruments display the blood pressure, heartbeat, and brain waves of No. 01.
In the picture, the beep of the machine “di, di” echoed rhythmically in the space, and Mu Yechen’s solemn expression fluctuated slightly.
He slowly withdrew his hand.
A voice shouted in his heart, he must not be allowed to live like this all the time.
Wait until he returns from this mission, Mu Yechen thought to himself.
Half an hour later, he passed through layers of protective doors and left the airtight monitoring room.
A day later, the young commander led the elite detachment of the contingent to leave the other side, carrying the hope of the other side’s 30 million people, to an unknown area 80 kilometers away.
After the savior left, human defense was handed over to the female commander Morianna.
She dispatched the armaments of the five districts, ready to deal with the coming beast tide at any time.
However that night, a strange sound of “creaking” suddenly came from the 12th floor of the laboratory.
This sound is extremely strange, as if some creature put the flesh between its teeth and lips, constantly spitting, swallowing, chewing and biting repeatedly.
In the darkness, a huge black hole snaked up from 300 meters underground, a creeping shadow slowly moved across the floor of the laboratory, dragging a long mucus water stain.
Along with the mucus, there are also red-stained white coats, human organs and human limbs that have been eaten.
The shadow moved slowly, and it climbed up layer by layer until it came to a huge glass vessel.
This is a laboratory illuminated by a bionic lamp. Under the light, the greasy skin and body lines of the shadow on the shadow rise and fall with its breathing. It raised its head and began to stick to the transparent tempered glass on the promenade, trying to see clearly.
“Gululu…” At this moment, a string of puffing bubbles came out of the vessel.
The respiration suppressor expelled human breath, the eyelashes of the “human” who had been hanging his head in the nutrient solution trembled and he slowly raised his heavy eyelids.
The shadow looked at the “human” in front of him and the crawling movement stopped abruptly.
“Human” has raised his eyes and looked at it.
The shadow shrank instantly, as if it saw something that made it extremely frightening, it began to retreat frantically to the cave that was broken on the floor.
“Human” did not pursue, the breath suppressor between his throat and neck shone brightly, his open eyelids drooped slightly again.
But his hand dangling in the liquid crossed the nutrient solution and covered his lower abdomen.
– “Lin Xi, let’s go.”
His eyes became firm.
