Chapter 192 Where did the epidemic doctor go?
A flame of despair ignited in Hannibal's heart. Although his legs were still struggling forward, they seemed to be bound by invisible chains, and every step was extremely heavy.
He tried to break free from the fear and powerlessness that followed him like a shadow, but the plague doctor's shadow spread as quickly as the night, completely enveloping him.
The moment the needle penetrates your body, it not only causes severe physical pain, but also a tearing of the soul.
In Hannibal's mind, past memories receded like the tide, replaced by endless darkness and emptiness.
He felt his consciousness being drained away bit by bit, like a fruit dried by the wind, losing all its moisture and color.
The plague doctor's laughter echoed in the empty streets. It was a crazy and distorted melody that made people shudder.
The syringe in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death, ruthlessly reaping Hannibal's soul and sanity.
With each pull, Hannibal's eyes became emptier and emptier, until they completely lost all traces of humanity.
When the last drop of brain juice was sucked into the syringe, Hannibal completely became a plaything in the hands of the plague doctor, a puppet who had lost his self and only knew how to act on instinct.
Although his body was still standing, his soul had gone with the wind, leaving behind only an empty shell dominated by animal nature.
As night falls, the stars disappear and the whole world seems to be immersed in deathly silence.
And Hannibal, the walking corpse, is looking for his own "food" in this silent world.
His sense of smell became extremely sharp, able to pick up the slightest smell of blood in the air, which was his only guide at the moment.
"Hoo ho ho…hungry, so hungry!"
He roared in a low voice, his voice full of bestial hunger and desire.
His steps were no longer blind, but he moved forward firmly in a certain direction.
That was where the "food" he instinctively sensed. The scenery along the way was meaningless to him, and there was only a vague and strong desire in his eyes.
At this time, he had lost all his wisdom and turned into a beast driven by hunger, wandering in the darkness, looking for prey that could satisfy his instinctive desires.
……
On the surface of a distant planet, night falls and stars dot the vast universe background
Su Ze stood on an observation platform constructed by irrational roots, surrounded by tens of thousands of genetic warriors.
They have different body shapes, but all possess strength and endurance beyond ordinary people, and their eyes reveal curiosity and awe of the unknown world.
Suze had just finished his narration of the story of the "plague doctor" and Hannibal, and there was an unusual silence in the air.
The emotional entanglements and human struggles in the story seem like scenery from another world to this group of genetic warriors.
Some of them frowned, trying to comprehend the grief that went beyond their survival instinct;
Some people looked confused and felt that the concept of "family" was strange and distant.
Cultivated by the predator civilization, they were endowed with powerful combat capabilities, but also lost many of the delicate emotions that they should have as living beings.
"Lord, we really do not understand why you would be so sad about death."
The voice of a gene warrior broke the silence. There was no contempt in his tone, only pure curiosity.
"In our world, death is just part of the cycle of life, as natural and normal as the rising and setting of the sun.
We are trained as warriors to fight fearlessly until the very end."
When Su Ze heard this, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
He knew very well that this difference in concepts was not just a difference in personal emotions, but also a gap between two completely different civilizations.
Humans, as emotional creatures, always feel deep sorrow and reluctance for the passing of life;
The predator civilization, on the other hand, focuses more on efficiency and survival, and regards death as a kind of relief or a glorious destination.
"You are right. Every civilization has a unique view of life."
Su Ze spoke slowly, “But please allow me to explain, for me and my race, death is not just the end of life, it is also an irreparable loss.
We cherish the existence of every life, whether it is a relative, a friend, or a stranger. This emotion may be what makes us different from you. "
At this point, Su Ze changed the subject and brought the topic back to the point: "So, regarding the plague doctor I mentioned - ACP-049, do you think it really exists?"
The genetic warriors looked at each other in bewilderment. It was obvious that this question was beyond their previous understanding.
After a moment, a Gene Warrior who seemed to be the leader replied: "Since you have experienced all this yourself and regard it as real, then in our hearts, it is real. We trust your judgment, Lord."
A satisfied smile appeared on Su Ze's lips. This trust made him feel warm and powerful.
He knew very well that to survive on this strange and dangerous planet, not only powerful military force was needed, but also unity and trust.
"System, I want to summon ACP-049!"
Su Ze recited solemnly in the depths of his heart, as if he was performing an ancient ritual.
As his thoughts fluctuated, a clear and pleasant reminder sound rang slowly in his mind, like the first ray of sunshine at dawn, warm and full of hope.
[Ding! Summoning successful! ACP-049 has landed nearby, please carry out the containment mission immediately! ]
Su Ze couldn't help but feel an indescribable joy in his heart. He thought that insufficient trust might lead to the failure of the summoning, but he never expected the system to respond so quickly.
However, this joy was soon replaced by doubt, because he found that he could not catch the iconic figure of ACP-049 anywhere nearby.
He suddenly soared into the air, like a meteor streaking through the night sky, and his figure instantly appeared high in the sky above the planet. Using his extraordinary spiritual power, he conducted a carpet scan of the entire planet.
Once, twice, three times...
Every attempt made him more certain that ACP-049 did not appear "near" him as the system said.
"System, what is going on? Are you sure ACP-049 has really arrived?"
There was a hint of anxiety and confusion in Su Ze's tone. He asked the system for confirmation again, hoping to get a reasonable explanation.
[System confirmed, ACP-049 has landed near the designated area according to the command, please search carefully]
The system's response was calm and objective, but it also made Su Ze fall into deeper thought.
Looking at the land below that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Su Ze sighed helplessly.
He realized that perhaps the system's "nearby" was not a literal distance, but encompassed a more complex and subtle concept of space.
Since ACP-049 cannot be found for the time being, he can only let go of this obsession and turn his attention to the more urgent task at hand - leading the group of genetic warriors to settle down in this unknown land and prepare for future challenges.
……
In the vast star field of the predator civilization.
The Predator Breeding Department is like a shining pearl, inlaid in the magnificent picture of harmonious coexistence of technology and nature.
This is a land of miracles of genetic engineering, where every inch of land breeds biological wonders beyond imagination.
Drawing inspiration from the stars, the predator civilization played with the mysteries of life and created genetic species that were both practical and bizarre.
In a carefully simulated jungle environment, sunlight shines through the simulated tree canopy and sprinkles on the ground in a mottled manner, creating a primitive and mysterious atmosphere.
A huge alligator snapping turtle covered with a thick shell is leisurely enjoying the miniature starlight bath specially made by the predator civilization.
The light simulated the brilliance of distant stars, warm but not dazzling, perfectly meeting the light needs of these creatures.
The alligator snapping turtle has its eyes half closed, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility, as if the whole world has stopped.
However, the balance in nature is always delicate and fragile, even in this man-made paradise.
Suddenly, a subtle noise broke the silence, like the whisper of fallen leaves touching branches in the night breeze, or like the echo of something accidentally falling from a great height.
The sudden sound instantly aroused the curiosity of the alligator snapping turtle. It slowly opened its eyes, scanned the surroundings with its sharp gaze, and finally fixed on the direction where the sound came from.
The alligator snapping turtle's huge body moves slowly, and each crawl is accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground, showing the powerful strength hidden in its body.
However, when it took all its effort to reach the location of the suspected source of the sound, it saw only an empty space and the surroundings were as quiet as before, as if the previous sound was just an illusion.
It shook its head in dissatisfaction and gently slapped the tree trunk beside it with its sharp tail, making a dull sound, as if venting its loss and confusion in its heart.
Just as the alligator snapping turtle was about to give up and return to the pool, an indescribable sense of crisis suddenly arose, like freezing cold, causing it to freeze instantly.
At this critical moment, a black shadow appeared behind it silently like a ghost, at a speed so fast that it was astonishing.
Immediately afterwards, a slender and precise syringe cut through the air and accurately pierced the fragile skin on the alligator snapping turtle's neck, and light green liquid was instantly injected into its body.
The hypnotic substance contained in the liquid is another masterpiece of the genetic technology of the predator civilization. It can penetrate the defense mechanism of the organism in a very short time and act directly on the brain, inducing deep sleep or even complete loss of consciousness.
A trace of confusion flashed in the alligator snapping turtle's eyes.
"Roar--!"
This deafening roar suddenly sounded in the silent jungle mimicry environment, like the awakening of an ancient giant beast, shaking every inch of the air.
Beneath the thick shell of the alligator snapping turtle lies a strength and alertness that cannot be underestimated.
It suddenly sensed the danger lurking around it, and its tail instantly tensed up and swung backwards like a steel whip, cutting through the air and creating a sharp gust of wind.
However, the ghostly figure seemed to have predicted all this. The moment the syringe penetrated, it retreated lightly like a ghost, perfectly avoiding the alligator snapping turtle's angry counterattack.
The alligator snapping turtle's tail drew an empty arc in the air, and finally slapped weakly on the hard ground, stirring up a cloud of dust, but it was just a futile struggle.
Even though it has enhanced blood given by a predator civilization flowing through its body, and even though its genes have been carefully modified to cope with various extreme environments, this alligator snapping turtle still displays an amazing survival instinct when faced with unknown threats.
It realized that a head-on confrontation was hopeless, so it immediately turned around, and its huge body clumsily but firmly crawled towards the river not far away. There, it was the master, the overlord, and it was a forbidden place that no creature dared to easily set foot in.
But fate didn't seem to let it go easily.
The mysterious figure followed closely, its steps swift and silent, as if blending into the darkness.
With every struggle and movement of the alligator snapping turtle, the opponent can always quickly adjust its position, maintaining a delicate distance that neither gets too close nor loses its target.
Then, with a series of precise throws, several syringes loaded with hypnotic drugs cut through the night like messengers of death, accurately piercing the soft part of the alligator turtle's neck.
These syringes contain not only powerful drugs that can put the blue whale to sleep, but also special hypnotic drugs from a top biological doctor. They spread rapidly in the body of the alligator snapping turtle, engaging in a fierce battle with its modified genetic system.
At first, the alligator snapping turtle could rely on its transformed strong physique to resist the invasion of this force, but as time went on.
The huge amount of hypnotic drug gradually took over, its body began to become heavy, and its movements became slower and slower, until finally at the edge of the river, the former overlord slowly fell down and fell into a deep coma.
At this moment, the figure that had been hiding in the dark finally revealed its true appearance.
He wore a black top hat and his face was covered with a huge bird-beak mask. His eyes flashed fanatically through the gaps in the mask. The medical box in his hand seemed to be the key for him to explore the unknown and transform life.
This is the Plague Doctor, a subject who is obsessed with and passionate about genetic modification.
"Haha, magical, it's really magical!"
The plague doctor's voice trembled slightly with excitement. He squatted down and looked at the unconscious alligator snapping turtle in front of him with a sharp gaze.
“Although I don’t know how I got here, I was able to meet such a perfect experimental subject!
Its genes and physique will be a rare and precious treasure on my research path!"
As he spoke, the epidemic doctor quickly opened the medical box, which was filled with a variety of sophisticated instruments and test tubes, each of which revealed his ultimate pursuit and enthusiasm for genetic modification.
He began to prepare carefully, and had already outlined a grand blueprint for future biological transformation in his mind.
For the plague doctor, this alligator snapping turtle is not just an experimental subject, but also the first step for him to cure more creatures!
at the same time.
Above this genetic breeding farm,
A looter in charge of this area suddenly uttered a sigh: "Why did A3145's vital signs suddenly drop so low?"
He frowned slightly and said to his colleague, "I have to go down and take a look. Please help me keep an eye on the conditions of the other test subjects."
