At this time, Goat gave Fang Linyan an eye gesture, then he brought Fang Linyan to a small room.

The room was empty except for some messy test tubes on the experimental table. There was nothing else.

However, Goat pulled out a sealed test tube from the waste pile beside. It contained a dark red blood that looked fresh.

At first glance, there was nothing unusual about this blood sample. However, if one looked closely, it was not difficult to find that although the test tube remained in a static state, there seemed to be living matter on the red liquid substance that was slightly fluctuating. It was rhythmic like the waves that repeatedly washed the beach.

Fang Linyan took it and put it in front of his face to examine it carefully. He found that the blood flow had become quick as if it sensed his body temperature. It finally formed a tiny vortex.

This thing was placed here for at least several years. Under normal circumstances, blood would solidify quickly when it left the human body, but it still had this kind of vitality after such a long time.

“See if you can trigger any missions?” Goat whispered to Fang Linyan, “I’m looking for 2 types of blood. This is one of them, Type A.”

Fang Linyan shook his head and whispered,

“I didn’t trigger any mission.”

Goat kept away the blood.

They explored here for a while, then they heard footsteps outside. It was a researcher hurried over with the analysis results,

“Mr. Wynch, we have analyzed it. The gas emitted from the laboratory just now is harmless to the human body. The main component is nitrogen, but there is also a strange active substance with complex components. Its molecular activity is quite strange. We have not can figure it out.”

“This kind of active substance has been found more in the life support chamber and the living corpse, so one thing can be confirmed is that the things in this laboratory can be kept as they were decades ago, it should be due to this active substance.”

Fang Linyan nodded and said,

“Okay, understood.”

After a while, Kaur suddenly came over and said to Fang Linyan,

“Leader, we found another sealed laboratory in another passage. The facility system is locked, and the door cannot be opened temporarily. We are currently trying to figure out a way.”

Fang Linyan was a little anxious, feeling that he still had no clue about his secret main mission. Fortunately, there was a large group of people helping him explore at this time, so he was not in a hurry. Hearing that there was a new discovery, his spirit was lifted,

“Let’s go and have a look.”

When Fang Linyan came to the end of another passage, what caught his eye was a thick and heavy door made of steel. The surface of the steel plate had a strange spiral texture. The door was about 10 meters tall and about 8 meters wide. Compared with the previous passage, it was more than twice as large.

Next to the door, a researcher was half-kneeling on the ground. A handheld computer was put on his knee. The handheld computer had a line connected to the electronic control system next to the door.

It could be seen that he was trying to crack the door’s system and gain permission to open the door.

After arriving here, Fang Linyan’s heart moved because a virtual arrow suddenly appeared on his retinas, pointing directly to the inside of the steel door. There were the words “strange chip” on his retinas. This seemed to be his mission destination.

Kaur walked up to him and said,

“How long does it take?”

The researcher said seriously,

“This access control system was very advanced when it was installed, but it is several generations behind now. It can be done in a maximum of 2 minutes!”

Kaur nodded in satisfaction and said,

“Very good! I thought the cutting machine was going to be used again.”

Soon, the researcher’s handheld computer emitted a soft “jingle”, then there was a low-pitched rumble in the wall beside. The heavy steel door slowly rose.

At this time, all the people retreated tens of meters away, leaving a simple air sampler on the spot. Once dangerous information was collected, the alarm would be triggered. This was to prevent any dangerous gas or virus.

10 minutes later, after confirming that there was no danger, Fang Linyan let Purger enter the closed laboratory first, then they followed behind.

The inside of this laboratory looked much neater, but it was quite dark inside. The light source seemed to be turned off before it was sealed.

Fang Linyan sniffed it carefully and found that there was no peculiar smell in the air. In order to avoid triggering any mechanism, Fang Linyan specially asked the researchers with hacker ability to continue to invade the computer system that was still operating here until he gained control.

Soon, Kaur found the light switch beside and pressed it, then the entire laboratory was lit up brightly.

The main facility in this laboratory was a giant container similar to a space capsule. The height of this giant container exceeded 5 meters. There were transparent openings like windows around it.

An operation panel in the style of an independent desk was set around the giant container. There were also various lights flickering on the panel.

This giant container was filled with a light red unknown liquid. Strings of bubbles would pop out from time to time. What was soaked in it turned out to be a huge creature that looked like a mecha.

This creature was like a puppet made by stuffing flesh and blood into the ancient knight’s armor. There were dark red blood vessels and white rubber tubes intertwined on its neck.

The skin seemed to have been peeled off, and thick dark red muscle fibers could be seen directly. The most striking thing was the steel claw below the right arm armor. It seemed to be able to pinch a person easily into meat paste.

However, the steel claw of this monster was somewhat distorted. There were clear cracks on them, which seem to be damaged.

Seeing this monster, Fang Linyan immediately understood that the half-mechanical, half-flesh organs cultivated in the previous laboratory life-support chamber should be prepared for this monster. The arrow of the main mission target on his retinas pointed to the top of the monster’s head.

Seeing this scene, Lanket couldn’t help sighing,

“Oh my god, if the people of the Gumball Company saw this scene, they would probably be so excited that their brain vessels burst on the spot!”

At this time, the researcher with hacking ability suddenly cried out in panic,

“Turn off the light quickly!! It just shows here that the switch circuit of the light has been artificially bridged. Once the light is powered on, it will also activate a switch inside the modulation tank to inject K-S Agent into it!”

“Although I don’t know what this shit K-S Agent is, it must be not good!”

As if in response to his words, the lights beside him began to flicker non-stop, then there was a burst of synthetic electronic sound.

“Warning! Warning! The K-2 Synthetic Beast is trying to get out of control! The facility will be shut down in an emergency within 5 seconds… Warning! Warning…!”

Immediately afterward, the door dropped at an astonishing speed. Not only that, the light red liquid in the huge modulation tank began to drop rapidly. The chest of the K-2 Synthetic Beast also began to undulate.

And the researcher who was in charge of hacking the system was typing on the keyboard in a hurry. A cold sweat broke out on his back immediately.

“Damn it! The facility has started a protection program. I can’t control it. The door is sealed!”

At this time, they could see that the monster’s eyes had been opened, revealing the bloodshot pale eyeballs inside. Its eyeballs were moving very quickly as if they were spinning.

As the eyeballs turned, the K-2 Synthetic Beast’s body also began to move slowly. Although it looked as if the joints were rusted, its entire body was undoubtedly recovering rapidly.

The jerky synthetic electronic sound was still repeating on the wall of the laboratory, which had already caused many people to panic.

At this time, Fang Linyan stood up and said loudly,

“What are you panicking!? This guy has been sealed here for many years, how much combat power can it have?”

“Besides, haven’t we killed mechanical creature before? Don’t forget that we still have Purger!”

At this time, the burly Purger also strode forward. Looking at this guy’s strong back, the guards quickly calmed down.

Kaur also roared to the people around him in time,

“Look for cover, raise the gun, aim, and prepare to shoot. If it tries to leave the tank, let this bastard taste the bullet!”

A few seconds later, the K-2 Synthetic Beast stretched its limbs and lay onto the transparent tank wall!

Its strange bloodshot pupils began to look around, then it stabbed its huge steel right claw forward.

The hard tank wall was penetrated immediately. The tank cracked immediately.

Only a second later, the entire tank collapsed directly. The remaining red solution inside, that had not been completely emptied, slid to the ground with a clatter. A disgusting stench immediately came out of the air.

“Aim at the exposed joint of the left leg and fire!!”

Fang Linyan yelled this first, then he pulled the trigger and started shooting wildly. The rest of the people also opened fire.

In an instant, 6 modified MA41 equipped with 8MM high-explosive bombs spat out faint blue flames, then a large number of bullets burst out. Of course, they all aimed at the unprotected left leg joint of the monster.

TL: This beast seems to be a raid boss…
