Chapter 3 Carbon-based organisms rich in protein

Yi Nanping's men looked in disbelief.

"Lieutenant Yi, these tentacle monsters are obviously 'relics' that can infect parasitic humans! - When can they be killed by bullets?!"

"Yes, Lieutenant Yi. Didn't it say above that when encountering special creatures related to 'relics', you must call for support from your superiors and have mentally strong people with high levels of genetic evolution take action?"

Yi Nanping remembered the last time he had a painful mental struggle with these "relics", rubbed his nose with his hand, and said dissatisfied: "You are not an analyzer, how can you conclude that he was killed by a bullet?"

"A group went in to get instruments to search and make sure there were no surviving species left."

"The second team will conduct an ordnance inspection to see if they can find who took action."

He gave orders methodically.

"Yes, Lieutenant Yi!"

These people are what Ye Shijie calls the regular army.

Just from the few large bomb-mounted drones that surrounded the six-story building, it was clear that the instruments and equipment of these people were obviously much better than those of hunters like Ye Shijie.

Under Yi Nanping's order, a group wearing black protective clothing entered the room with instruments.

The second group wearing camouflage uniforms carried instruments to detect the remains of ordnance in the open space in front of the building.

Five minutes later, a group of members came out of the house and gestured: "Lieutenant Yi, we have checked everything. There are only four traffickers left in the house. They were all killed by one shot, and there are no traces of remains. There are two more."

Thirteen abducted victims, all died, and there was no trace of infection."

Yi Nanping frowned, walked to the human skin on the ground, and wondered: "Is this the only person who has been planted with seed? It's a pity that he was beaten like this."

A group of members wearing black protective clothing bent down and collected the sieved human skin as an important evidence.

Another ordnance inspection technician said to Yi Nanping: "Captain, after inspection, the bullet casings on the ground are all No. 085 and No. 093 bullets produced by Zongshi Military Industry this year. In addition to equipping the army, these two bullets are only used by a few in the country.

Organizations can legally purchase it.”

Yi Nanping snorted: "Our Beichen Empire regulates guns, but not bullets. - The bullets of Zong's military industry can be bought if you have money, so how can there be any question of legality or illegality?"

His men were used to being scolded into silence.

Yi Nanping crouched down and stared at the thickest tentacle remaining among the bullet casings on the ground.

The tentacle was scorched black by the gunpowder of the bullet, and it looked like a burnt octopus leg, but it was much larger, and it was a burnt geoduck octopus leg.

He stared sharply at the tentacle, as if he wanted to use his gaze as an analyzer to analyze the structure of the tentacle.

He did use mental power detection, but found nothing.

The tentacle stump burned by the ammunition was so dead that its material structure was no different from the seafood that humans use as food.

The only conclusion that can be drawn is that they are all carbon-based organisms and are also rich in protein.

Yi Nanping stood up slowly, frowned and said, "Aren't there any living tentacles?"

He still holds on to a glimmer of hope, because based on their past experience, the tentacles generated by these relics are very tenacious and can be regenerated even if only a small section of cell tissue is left.

But this time the survey results did not support this conclusion.

"...Report to the captain to confirm that those who are not alive are all dead at the cellular level."

"What a pity." Yi Nanping sighed again.

While his men were holding a translucent evidence bag and putting the burnt tentacles inside, he said: "In recent years, there have been three incidents of tentacle monsters hurting people."

"Every time, no one can hit them with conventional weapons, because their mental attacks are extremely powerful and weird. Even if they are low-level, for us humans, even the C-level peak mental powerhouses cannot compete. Of course,

There is no way to fight back with conventional weapons."

"If the test results this time can prove that they were really killed by conventional weapons, that would be very exciting news."

"Yes, of the few times before, only one time was Lieutenant Yi catching a tentacle and surviving for about a week. So far, I have only gotten the word 'relict' from it."

"This time the tentacle monsters were stronger than the previous ones, but they were all killed. It's really a pity."

Yi Nanping looked up at the night sky with his hands behind his back and murmured: "If only we had come a minute earlier...if we had come a minute earlier, at least we could have gotten a living tentacle monster."

"Perhaps we can also know who is so cruel, using conventional weapons to beat the relics that require advanced spiritual power to destroy them like seafood..."

When his men heard the word "seafood", their faces suddenly looked strange, and they felt as if they wanted to vomit.

It is estimated that everyone will not want to eat seafood for a long time in the future...

Yi Nanping didn't think so much.

He frowned and walked into the room to examine it carefully, then came out and looked around. At the same time, he looked at the open space in front of the building and the surrounding environment within a kilometer radius.

The special glasses attached to his helmet are like a high-powered computer that can record the entire surrounding environment and upload it to the cloud's mechanical intelligence system for high-powered modeling, which allows for better data analysis.

Then he commanded: "Take away everything here, including the bullet casings and tentacle stumps on the ground. Let the local Corrections Department notify the parents who reported the crime to come and claim these dead abducted victims. This building is completely sealed, and the inside

All residents will be relocated."

He watched his subordinates clean up the mess while waiting for the analysis results from the technical department.

Suddenly, the nanoscale quantum optical brain embedded in the back of Yi Nanping's head sent out information instructions, which were directly transmitted to his brain through the brain-computer interface.

[Lieutenant Yi Nanping, Group 12, District 3, Mulan City Branch of the Special Security Bureau, please go to the safe house No. 244, District 8, in the same city to accept inquiries from your superiors].

The electronic sound simulated by the quantum optical brain repeated the message three times before stopping.

Yi Nanping responded with the word "yes" in his mind.

He calmly summoned a small combat aircraft and ordered: "I have to leave beforehand, please take care of it and send me a message. Remember, this place must be sealed off."

"Yes, Lieutenant Yi."

…

In less than five minutes, Yi Nanping arrived at the safe house No. 244, District 8, Mulan City, which was ordered by his superiors.

The person who opened the door was a squat butler machine.

It is not a humanoid, but a cylindrical mechanical body with four mechanical arms and a circular mechanical chassis as a mobile tool.

Yi Nanping walked in and the door closed automatically with a bang.

It was originally an ordinary home, but after closing the door, the light and shadow in the room changed, and it quickly turned into a small conference room.

Yi Nanping knew that this was actually a three-dimensional holographic projection technology, but it was too realistic and looked just like the real thing.

A man wearing a dark gray military uniform with silver trim sat at the head of the conference table with a serious expression, staring at Yi Nanping, who had gone to the scene today.

Under the military cap of the same color as his uniform, his appearance was so handsome that he even had a feminine look, but his eyes were slightly stressed, and it was clear at first glance that he was not a good guy.

The man introduced himself first and said: "I am Colonel Zong Ruoan of the Information Department of the Special Security Bureau Headquarters. I just got the data you uploaded. I have some information that I want to confirm with you."

Yi Nan repeated the military salute: "Yes, Colonel Zong."

"Are you Yi Nanping, Lieutenant of Group 12, Area 3, Mulan City Branch of the Special Security Bureau?"

"yes."

"Lieutenant Yi, first of all, where did you get the news today that there are relics appearing in Mulan City? Secondly, why did you not capture the relics alive this time, but killed all the relics?"

Yi Nanping smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Colonel Zong, I am also very puzzled about this matter. I find it very strange."

"explain."

"At 1:15 in the morning, we received news from the local Corrections Department in Mulan City that a 'legacy' had appeared in our jurisdiction."

"Based on past experience, the local corrections department is unable to handle cases related to 'relics', so the elite team of the Special Security Bureau must dispatch the mentally powerful among the genetic evolutionists."

"I once handled a case related to 'relic seeds', and I was closest to the place where the 'relic seeds' appeared, so I was notified to the scene as soon as possible."

"We arrived at the scene at 1:45 in the morning. We could have arrived ten minutes earlier, but our superiors stopped us midway. We waited there for ten minutes before we arrived."

When Zong Ruoan heard this, he nodded and said calmly: "Well, I know about the stop. It's not your fault."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the three-dimensional holographic projection in front of him changed, and three different scenes appeared.

Although the time and place are different, these three scenes are all equally bloody and terrifying.

Zong Ruo'an tapped his finger, pointed to the first scene and said: "This is a rare biological 'relic' that has only appeared in recent years."

"This kind of creature is very difficult to deal with. Once it appears, it will cause widespread casualties."

"It first appeared three years ago and infected more than 300 people in a commercial company in Mulan City's central district."

"Two years ago it appeared for the second time, in the East End, where the infection engulfed an entire floor of a residential unit, totaling more than 500 people."

"It appeared for the third time a year ago. This time everyone was prepared. When it appeared, you happened to be on a mission. After being infected and devouring eighteen people, you captured it alive. After that, it survived for a week. During this period, we only

I learned about the term 'relic' from it."

"This is the fourth time this year."

Yi Nanping stood up straight and said seriously: "Yes, Colonel Zong. According to our previous three experiences, although the spiritual power level of this rare creature is not high, it has a very powerful infection ability. As long as one

A little bit of microcellular tissue can survive and infect organisms, absorb nutrients from the host, and grow rapidly."
