Chapter 72 Death (Bonus Chapter for Recommended Tickets)

With a deafening boom, the entire base seemed to tremble in terror. Clear dents appeared on the metal plates where the Doctor and his team were hiding. The high-voltage electricity showed no favoritism, mercilessly striking anyone who dared to trespass.

Watching the dazzling blue current leap and surge, enveloping the head of the Prototype Bioweapon, it was evident that even this formidable monster was taking severe damage. The eyes of the human head parasitizing its abdomen rolled back, and the long claws evolved from human arms trembled violently, as if seized by the shivers. Copious amounts of semi-liquified feces were expelled from its anus, emitting an indescribable stench.

Normally, touching such high-voltage wires would send a person flying. But this applied to humans. When such high voltage contacted a gigantic monster of immense weight, the resulting repulsive force was negligible.

Therefore, when the Prototype Bioweapon collided with the wires, it was essentially being continuously electrocuted. The sheer force of the sustained damage was imaginable, especially with the 300% damage amplification.

At the same time, the lights around the entire base began to flicker, which was natural given the power constraints of an unfinished base.

In fact, Dr. Hammond was aware of the power shortage and had devised a solution. However, the crucial element – the fuel core for the nuclear reactor – was still en route. If Fang Senyan and the others had noticed the giant truck leaving the base, it was likely to pick up the last shipment.

As the voltage and current rapidly decreased, the frenzied beast finally pulled its head free from the high-voltage grid. Its eyes were bloodshot, and several charred lines marked the tender pink skin of its head. The skin had burst open, releasing a pungent smell of burning. These were the aftereffects of the high-voltage electrocution.

It had entered a state of berserk rage, likely due to premature release without complete brain modulation. It roared at the front, then abruptly turned and lashed its giant tail at the hidden room where the Doctor was hiding.

Logically, there should have been a sturdy alloy steel fence surrounding the hidden room. However, because of the same embarrassing "lack of supplies," it had not been installed. When the creature whipped its tail, a multitude of clear cracks appeared on the transparent tempered glass! Although the current surged through its tail again, the power was significantly diminished.

Seeing the raging beast about to ram into them again, a man in black beside Hammond screamed:

"Doctor!! Inject it with the gene collapse agent, now!"

Stunned, Hammond gasped for air, completely paralyzed:

"But… but, those intruders aren't dead yet!"

"This damn lizard has gone completely mad!" the man in black yelled. "If we don't kill it, we'll die immediately. If we kill it now, there's still a chance. Those guys are always open to communication; they at least look like humans!"

With that, the man in black snatched Hammond's cane, quickly twisted the handle to reveal a key, inserted it into the slot, and slammed his palm onto a nearby button.

Two projectile guns slid out from the passage above the observation room. With a flash of light, two stainless steel syringes embedded themselves in the Prototype Bioweapon.

The crimson liquid inside the syringes was visibly injected into the monster's body. However, it had already begun its suicidal rampage. Despite being injected with the gene separation agent, it still slammed into the hidden observation room like a speeding truck crashing and sliding.

With a thunderous roar, the lights in the entire base flickered and then went out completely!

Fortunately, after a few seconds, the emergency power system kicked in, restoring basic lighting. At this time, the Prototype Bioweapon stood upright and howled miserably.

Under the lights, it was clear that terrifying blue-black veins were spreading out like tentacles from the injection points. At the same time, the Prototype Bioweapon began to dissolve strangely, constantly dripping viscous matter as if it were a melting candle.

At this moment, Zi suddenly shouted sharply:

"Everyone attack together! Try to land the final, killing blow! That way, even if the quality of the dropped loot is affected, the impact won't be too great!"

Fang Senyan had recovered from his near-death state. He gasped heavily, feeling his strength and life gradually returning. When he saw the Prototype Bioweapon trembling and dissolving, seemingly revealing its bones, he drew his +7 West and charged again.

The feeling was like a hungry wolf baring its teeth and lunging at bleeding prey!

When he was four meters away from the Prototype Bioweapon, Fang Senyan suddenly leaped forward, soaring into the air. The deep blue longsword in his hand slashed wildly at the human parasite on the Prototype Bioweapon's abdomen, carving out countless flashes of blood. The final blow was a powerful downward slash, from the shoulder blade to the lower abdomen, effectively performing a vivisection on the human parasite in mid-air!

Blood and a large amount of blue-green internal organs spurted out instantly. The Prototype Bioweapon let out a long, mournful cry, seemingly trying to cover its belly with its front limbs, but the slippery organs slipped through its claws without hesitation.

At the same time, everyone participating in the battle received a notification:

"You have killed a Tier 7 creature: Prototype Bioweapon."

"Your merit points +5."

"Your universal points increased by 20,000."

"Your free basic attribute points increased by an additional 3 points."

After the Prototype Bioweapon crashed to the ground, it began to dissolve rapidly, revealing a key emitting a dark gold light… Everyone's eyes widened simultaneously! Even Zi couldn't help but take a few extra glances, but she turned to the side decisively and walked towards the hidden room – the proud and arrogant Zi would not participate in the loot distribution. Her only goal was to complete this damn mission.

The scene inside the hidden observation room was horrific. The force of the Prototype Bioweapon's impact was beyond imagination. The man in black had been bent in half by the impact, his head almost touching his heels. His death was truly gruesome. Dr. Hammond's chest was visibly caved in, and there was a terrifying baseball-sized dent in his head, but he was still alive. Seeing Zi walk over, he reached out a trembling hand and said:

"Save… save me, I don't want to die yet!"

Zi shook her head and said indifferently:

"You're beyond saving."

Dr. Hammond gasped for breath:

"Impossible, impossible, I injected myself with dinosaur genes, I have the vitality of a dinosaur! Save me, save me!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Zi's shoes tightly. In the face of death, no one would give up easily.

Zi looked into his eyes and said calmly:

"I want the mosquito amber in your possession."

Dr. Hammond said in astonishment:

"What, what amber?"

Zi said seriously:

"The amber containing a drop of dinosaur blood! The mosquito amber that started it all!"

Dr. Hammond's eyes began to glaze over:

"It's, it's in my office upstairs, you, you, you save me… save me… save…"

This ambitious and talented man died. His life was full of ups and downs, and he could be said to be a tragic figure. At this time, Zi looked at the time and realized that little was left, so she rushed towards Dr. Hammond's office immediately.

They also realized that because they were now using the emergency power system, many of the monsters in the modulation tanks were behaving strangely, slamming frantically against the glass walls, so they didn't dare to stay for long.

However, in Hammond's office on the fourth basement level, they searched everywhere but couldn't find the amber. After thinking for a while, Zi said:

"Let's go to the first floor! This fourth floor is the research center, and every entry and exit undergoes strict biochemical immunity inspection and disinfection. In addition to presiding over scientific research, Hammond is also responsible for external administrative construction affairs. At this stage, it is clear that external affairs are more important, so the office he mentioned should be on the first floor!"

Reef didn't object after hearing Zi's words, but couldn't help but ask curiously:

"Zi, why do you seem so familiar with this?"

Zi smiled but didn't answer Reef's question. (Okay, I originally wanted to use the phrase "smiled without saying a word" here, but I felt that you guys were too wicked and would definitely think wildly, so I decisively changed it).

The four boarded the swaying elevator. Because of the insufficient power supply, it seemed as if the elevator could fall down at any moment. Fortunately, it finally reached the first floor, and they found Hammond's office. The mosquito amber was placed on his desk as a very beautiful decoration.
