Chapter 739: Test subject 3
Translator: Translation Nation Editor: Translation Nation
Acknowledging Sheyan's command, Brother Black sighed while puffing his cigar and marched forward.
His action was plainly visible by the manifold surveillance cameras surrounding them. With a single movement, a voice rang within the ears of those five guards.
"No.5, no.5, prepare to fire. The enemy will appear in your line of sight within 3 seconds. The enemy should be using a cold weapon."
"Determining enemy's identity. Suspected to be a mutant, medium impact killing arms authorized by headquarters."
Guard no.5 sneered as he clutched his 'Gamma II Revolver' and aimed across. Once the enemy reveals his head, he will surely suffer a fatal blow.
Yet in this instant, Mogensha coincidentally halted right at the tip of the guard's blind angle. Shrugging his shoulders as he took a puff of smoke, he pulled out his signature golden AK.
DA! DA! DA! Mongensha unloaded a clip of bullets into the ceiling above. Dust and rubble scattered down as distinct tracer rounds intertwined in mid-air.
Five seconds later, guard no.5 was slumping limpidly on the iron fence above. Blood streamed out profusely from his head, after three steel-core bullets had accurately pierced into his left eye and lodged inside his brain. Although the bullets were like arrows at the end of their flight, it was sufficient to gun down the guard.
In the face of Brother Black's godlike marksmanship, all the guard's defensive equipments were completely futile.
This was the tragedy of storyline characters in this world, because in this world, the dinosaurs played the prominent role. They possessed frightening strength and devastating force, in addition to their incredible defenses and health. Even powerful contestants would have to retreat in the face of such supreme might.
In contrast, the humans were aided with technological advances. Alas, they still couldn't escape from the fate of a frail body.
When guard no.5 was killed, the other guards started opening fire as they cursed furiously. In spite of that, the obstructing large metallic fence rendered their offenses ineffective; like headless house flies buzzing uselessly around.
Several exchanges of gunfire later, Brother Black managed to clear out the broad corridor ahead. Maroon blood dyed the rugs inside and embers could still be seen on the corpses.
Zi lifted her left palm towards the iron gate that obstructed their path to the 20th floor. A transparent wall swept out followed by a sonorous rumble. In a second breath, the iron fence emitted ear piercing cranks and distorted inwards.
Following that, Sheyans stomped against the distorted portion of the iron gate, causing it to release a loud earth-shaking boom as it bluntly flew backwards.
More security guards were rushing in from beneath. As the gang of four didn't wish to be hindered by such small fries, they quickly sprinted up the fire escape stairs.
Moments later, warnings came transmitting into an internal monitor.
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 21st floor, patrol teams 5 and 7 please swiftly proceed to the emergency fire escape! ]
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 21st floor, patrol teams 1 and 4 please swiftly proceed to the emergency fire escape! ]
[ Warning: The four targets are suspected to possess supernatural abilities; highest authority granted, guards are permitted to use any weapon ]
[ Warning: The four targets have infiltrated the 25th floor. Patrol teams 5 and 7 were annihilated! ]
[ Warning: The stairway access is in ruins. Patrol teams 1 and 4 are making a detour ]
Such a list of notifications were precisely transmitted all the way to the 40th floor.
*************************
At present, two members of the Sando TeraTech company were seated before the surveillance monitor screen. As they spectated the foreigners in combat, their faces exhibited hideous expressions while exclaiming.
"Let's notify the police. These mutants are extremely tough to handle and won't stop until they've reached their goal. Our guards are all collapsing at the first blow!"
"Fool! Can we allow our company's information to be exposed to the public? The police and their greedy government backer have long been infiltrated our headquarters, asking them for aid is akin to giving them a pretext for the future. I've already sent someone to prepare Test-subject 3, we'll dispatch it in straightaway."
"Fine...but Test-subject 3 may not be able to hinder them!"
"Don't worry, we just need to draw them into that 'channel'. Don't forget, that same channel similarly dispatched mutants like them in the past. Worse come to worst, we just have to inaugurate our final trump card."
"Understood."
*********************
When the gang of four arrived on the 33rd floor, clamorous rumbling sounds abruptly echoed in from the front.
All of a sudden, a monster crashed out into the corridor from nowhere with a loud bang!
This monster was two metres tall and was entirely coated in protective silver armour. It possessed a pair of dull but radiating electronic blue eyes, and its legs were installed with caterpillar tracks. Its arms and shoulders were equipped with massive loads of weaponry. And released an impression of supreme technological advancement.
Its main weapon in hand was a streamline drum-shaped weapon, where its black barrel appeared terrifyingly intimidating; as though it could suck in the enemy's soul.
One could clearly see the words 'Experiment III' carved on the monster's back. This must be the so called 'Test-subject 3'.
Brother Black directly unloaded a clip of bullets but merely resulted in a thumping shower of sparks. The bullets bluntly ricocheted away as they bounced off to the surrounding walls instead. Evidently, AK's bullets couldn't penetrate this monster's armour.
Right in this instant, the monster's electronic eyes locked onto Mogensha. Following that, two ring-shaped weapons on its left shoulder instantly ejected a pair of blinding tongues of flame!
A second later, Brother Black was immediately bombarded with flames and dust. The area of exquisitely constructed stairs he was standing on was instantly ravaged by a wave of metallic storm. In a flash, one could observe a dense mass of 2-3 centimetres deep pits forming rapidly on the stairs; reinforced concrete fragments sprayed around the area as the entire fire escape echoed with 'DA DA DA' sounds.
Mogensha tumbled down the stairs pathetically with a deep wound across his face. Blood and curled flesh hung along this wound that was caused by a random scattering fragment.
Concurrently, a moss-green round projectile whizzed out from Test-subject 3's back, as it shot towards Mogensha in a parabola trajectory. It looked like a grenade.
Still, the gang was made up of four formidable contestants whose mobility and vision were relatively excellent. They could identify that moss-green round projectile to be the size of a sunflower, but strangely, with numerous short wriggling tentacles at its edges. The incoming projectile twitched incessantly....was it shockingly a living grenade?
The four of them had no clue what it was, but they knew it definitely wasn't something beneficial. Zi's long hair fluttered up as she pointed her fair, slender finger upwards and carved out a formless and abstruse arc.
Instantaneously, 2-3 metres ahead of them in mid-air, a transparent 'Force Wall Barrier' formed like a formless reinforced glass wall.
That peculiar tentacular grenade collided into the 'Force Wall Barrier' like a ripened persimmon. Puchi! It instantly splattered and spilled out incomparably repulsive moss-greenish liquid into the atmosphere. However, it didn't leak down Zi's 'Force Wall Barrier' at all.
Hence, the four contestants could distinctly see; amidst the murky moss-green liquid, multitudes of ghastly white parasitic bugs were jumping feverishly!
Those parasitic bugs were like excited prawns that just left the water surface. They possessed leech-like mandibles with a wasp-like belly. One could decipher how frenzied and rapacious these bugs were just from sighting them.
As it turns out, the Sando TeraTech company had developed a biological weapon; one that specializes in dealing with thick skinned dinosaurs. It looked as if those incomparably repulsive parasitic bugs could easily drill into a dinosaur's solid epidermis, before rapaciously devouring their blood and flesh.
Not only would them not harm a dinosaur's dinocrystal, they could even rapidly chew through a layer of the Tyrannosaurus' skin in half an hour. However, this weapon was currently still in its experimenting phase. Seeing how indomitable the four invaders were, the company naturally poured all resources to deal with them.
As he observed the frantically jumping parasitic bugs 2-3 metres away, Brother Black, who could skin a snake and eat its flesh alive, felt nervous and wiped the trickling blood off his face.
"Zi, I sincerely hope your barrier can withstand for a long, long while."
Zi's expression indicated her shock as well before she replied unenthusiastically.
"Half an hour won't be a problem, of course, that's on the pretext that thing doesn't attack me first."
Presently, nearly half of this flight of stairs was destroyed by the firepower of Test-subject 3.
Following that, it glided towards the edge of the stairs and aimed its main weapon over. One could see blue electric lights violently swirling inside the black barrel of its streamline weapon. Without a doubt, the trigger would be pressed the next second!
Yet in this moment, Sheyan bolted forward like a cheetah! Indeed, he had activated his signature 'Horn-Rage'.
Instead, one massively different aspect between a robot and a human was this – a human ceases from being a threat once both hands are full. Whereas for a robot with full hands, it still possesses an 'n' amount of weapons to combat foes. Moreover, a robot offered no reactionary delay and relied on standard procedure to eradicate its foe!
