From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man - Chapter 381
c371 Unprecedented “Species” and “Employment Pressure”
Hiss——! !
The roar of the aliens launching the offensive resounded throughout the trial field.
! !
“Fuck! Atlas, you bastards!”
“How can we fight without weapons?!”
“Let’s fight! We can’t die in vain!”
Seeing the alien soldier bees, which were several times more numerous than them, and countless face huggers, more than a dozen D-level personnel shouted and cursed, and prepared to fight with bare hands.
According to the experience of previous “product trials”, no matter how “unhuman” Atlas was, it would provide advanced weapons and equipment and sufficient ammunition.
However, this time, no help was provided.
Therefore, the D-level personnel had to bite the bullet and fight the aliens with bare hands.
As soon as the two sides met.
The alien soldier bees took a “reckless” offensive, and did not use methods such as releasing bait and sneak attacks from behind like the worker bees or the messenger aliens.
The genetic setting of the soldier bees is that they like to fight head-on with enemies that threaten the tribe.
I saw more than ten soldier bees that first approached the defense circle of D-level personnel, waving their claws and tails with sharp bone spurs, and rushed forward almost at the same time.
“Damn it!”
“Get out! Disgusting guy!”
And while the D-level personnel shouted in extreme anger, they successfully dodged the attack of more than ten soldier bees with a reaction speed far beyond that of ordinary people.
Moreover, two experienced D-level personnel, while completing the dodge, also grabbed the tail of the soldier bee with both hands, then twisted their waists and turned around, using the force to throw the soldier bee back.
“Roar~”
The two soldier bees thrown away by the D-level personnel were waving their claws in the air, trying to regain their balance.
Bang——! Bang!
But the next second, the two alien soldier bees had a “close contact” with the building on the left side of the street and directly knocked down the wall.
Bricks and rubble quickly buried the two alien soldier bees.
? ? ! !
Seeing this, all the D-level personnel, including the two experienced D-level personnel, were stunned.
They noticed that their bodies had changed, but before they could dig too much, they were besieged by alien soldier bees and face huggers.
At first, they simply thought that it was the biological department of Atlas that injected them with some special medicine with great side effects.
Anyway, the D-level personnel have long recognized their identity, that is, “guinea pigs”.
Whenever Atlas has a new biological agent or nanorobots to be put into use, this group of D-level personnel will act as guinea pigs to verify whether the new products are safe.
But this time, the changes were beyond the cognition of the D-level personnel.
The speed of those alien soldier bees when launching a surprise attack and charging was extremely fast in the eyes of ordinary humans.
In the dimly lit environment, the soldier bees were like black afterimages, sweeping quickly.
If this had happened in the past, this group of D-level personnel would have been dead, but now
the speed of the alien soldier bees, in their eyes, could not be said to be like slow motion, but it was also very slow, and they had plenty of time to react and dodge.
The most important thing is, their strength can actually swing the alien soldier bees and knock down the walls of the building?
“Hiss–!”
Before the D-level personnel had time to sigh too much, the alien soldier bees launched another siege.
“Hahaha! Cool!”
“Is this the feeling of those big guys (Astartes)?”
“I think I can fight them one-on-one!!”
Confirming that they had undergone a qualitative change, they instantly transformed from their initial anger and various self-destructive mentality to full of confidence.
And they were also using their own changes to launch a “one-sided” counterattack with the alien soldier bees and the face huggers that were waiting for an opportunity to parasitize them.
The alien soldier bees were extremely fast, but they were faster.
And the face huggers had no chance to attack.
Whenever the facehugger tried to jump up and pounce on the faces of the D and other personnel, they would grab their tails and then throw them away.
Of course, the D and other personnel also found that they had become stronger, but the aliens were not as weak as they imagined.
When one of them broke open the upper and lower jaws of the alien soldier bee with his bare hands, making its “head open”-
Sizzle~! Sizzle–!
The sound of strong acid corroding the flesh resounded.
“Ah! Ah! My eyes.”
Accompanied by the screams of the man.
The man was about to shout “Garbage!”, but the head that he broke open with his bare hands splashed out a large amount of yellow-green strong acid blood.
The moment the strong acid blood touched the man’s face, it began to corrode rapidly.
In the blink of an eye, the man was “completely unrecognizable”.
It was completely unrecognizable in the literal sense.
The skin and flesh were corroded and rotten, the cheekbones were exposed to the air, and the eyeballs were completely corroded.
It seems that even if the height, physique, reaction speed and extreme strength of the D-level personnel are very similar to those of the young Astartes who have implanted gene seeds but have not yet undergone transformation surgery.
But this group of D-level personnel cannot be compared with the real Astartes after all.
After all, Logan Sigurd of the Space Wolves really “took” strong acid with his face.
The strong acid blood of the alien, at most, left some light scars on Logan Sigurd’s face.
In contrast, the D-level personnel died directly.
!
Seeing this, the remaining D-level personnel immediately became cautious, preferring to spend more energy and time to throw and swing the alien soldier bees rather than being corroded to death by the strong acid blood.
But——
“Hiss!”
With a roar unique to the alien race, the soldier bees took the initiative to distance themselves and no longer engaged in close combat with the D-level personnel.
Then.
Several soldier bees actually took the initiative to grab their tails, and used their claws to forcibly cut the tip of the tail.
Hiss. Hiss!
Soon, the yellow-green strong acid blood flowed out along the gap at the tip of the tail.
Then, these soldier bees that took the initiative to cut their tails quickly jumped to the top floors of the surrounding buildings.
Then, these soldier bees waved their tails like whips, causing the strong acid blood to purposefully sprinkle on the D-level personnel.
? ? ! !
“Fuck! Those beasts actually know this?!”
“Don’t gather together! Disperse!”
“Ah! Ah! My legs! My legs!!”
The soldier bees suddenly changed their combat strategy, catching the D-level personnel off guard.
The D-level personnel obviously didn’t expect that the aliens would quickly adjust their tactics after seeing their guys being corroded to death by strong acid, and cut off their tails at all costs, spraying blood on them from a distance.
In fact, the alien soldier bees also didn’t expect that a group of humans could fight them barehanded.
Even gain the upper hand.
So when the soldier bees were released into this trial field and found the group of D-level personnel in front of them, the first tactical strategy they thought of was “reckless”.
Who would have thought that they, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, would be suppressed by a group of humans.
Even the face huggers couldn’t get a chance to sneak attack.
However, when they found that their own blood would cause fatal damage to the D-level personnel, they quickly adjusted their tactics to avoid continuous casualties of their clan.
In an instant, the intersection where the D-class personnel were located was hit by a “sulfuric acid rain”.
The D-class personnel, who were stained with strong acid blood, lost their combat and mobility capabilities one after another.
Either their arms and legs were corroded and broken limbs, or they were corroded to death directly like the original guys.
In just a few seconds, the situation reversed.
More than half of the D-class personnel died completely.
The remaining half collapsed on the ground, struggling to continue to resist, or crawling towards the soldier bees closest to them, wanting to fight to the death and seek a quick death.
But it was a pity.
When the alien soldier bees saw that the D-class personnel could not pose any threat to them, they took the initiative to end the combat state and kept a distance from the remaining D-class personnel.
The soldier bees were not “kind-hearted” and were ready to let the remaining D-class personnel go.
They had no empathy at all, and would not be bound by so-called morality.
The reason why they did not take action against the remaining D-class personnel was that they “watched” the face huggers parasitizing the D-class personnel.
Soon, the trial field returned to peace.
The remaining D-level personnel were all parasitized by the face huggers and paralyzed by the face huggers, and completely lost all perception of the outside world.
It will not take long for this group of D-level personnel to “give birth” to a “new species” that has never existed in the “Alien” universe or even the multiverse.
The soldier bees that completed the attack mission began to wander around the trial field, be on guard, and even began to prepare to build a nest.
Beep-beep–!
Suddenly, an extremely harsh alarm sounded throughout the trial field.
? !
This instantly aroused the vigilance of the soldier bees, and they were alert to all movements around them.
Qi~Boom–!
Then, on the south side of the trial field, there was a sound of the valve gate opening.
Hearing the sound, the soldier bees gathered towards the south side of the trial field, wanting to eliminate the hidden threats and create a “safe and worry-free” hatching environment for the parasitic face huggers.
Boom, boom.
As the soldier bees gathered towards the south, they heard heavy footsteps.
? !
The soldier bees, whose DNA can “inherit” memories, immediately seemed to be frightened and fled to the alleys on both sides of the street, or to buildings such as houses and apartments.
Because the memory engraved in their DNA told them that the source of such unique and heavy footsteps was the Astartes who killed them like cutting melons and vegetables.
Even though they had never seen any Astartes “with their own eyes” since they broke out of their bodies and were born into this world.
But the unique DNA of the alien race can pass on the major events that their “ancestors” have experienced, or the appearance and characteristics of the enemies they have encountered, to their “descendants” through DNA.
So when the soldier bees realized that a group of Astartes had entered the trial field, they immediately changed their combat strategy and adopted the ambush that the worker bees are best at.
But just as they chose the perfect position-
Bang~Bang~!
Their heads all exploded.
In a short moment, the group of soldier bees turned into headless alien corpses, completely threatening the Astartes who entered the trial field.
Even the face huggers that had not completed the parasitism and were also wandering around exploded from the inside out.
In the end, only seven face huggers that wrapped the faces of D-level personnel and parasitized D-level personnel survived.
At this time.
A team of Dark Angels, guarding more than a dozen biological technicians wearing white protective suits and exclusive mechanical skeletons, came to the crossroads of the trial field.
“.”
Six Dark Angels holding bolt rifles glanced at the messy scene in silence.
Because the helmets covered their faces, outsiders could not observe their expressions at the moment.
But it is not difficult to imagine that a group of D-level personnel who have undergone “rough transformation surgery” can exert combat power comparable to that of young Astartes, which will make the Dark Angels feel “pressured” to some extent.
It is not the pressure of being an opponent, but “employment pressure”.
After all, the more super warriors there are in the Human Empire, the less “special” they are.
However, the Dark Angels still think that they are the top existence in the Human Empire.
As for the technicians of the Biological Department, they will not have a lot of “little thoughts” in their hearts like the Dark Angels.
After the technicians arrived at the scene, they began to collect the dead D-level personnel, and also “encapsulated” the D-level personnel who were parasitized by face huggers, and then used magnetic levitation stretchers to prepare to transport them to the isolation laboratory on the upper floor.
One of the technicians also opened the communication and reported:
“Supervisor, the actual combat effect of this batch of D-level personnel far exceeded expectations, and all data are stable. It is time to formally apply to the Empire to implement the “Battle Sister” project.”
“Received.” The middle-aged supervisor replied from the other end of the communication:
“Let’s not talk about the project problem for now. Be sure to preserve the experimental materials. They will help us further improve the technology of cloning flesh and blood.”
“Yes, supervisor.”
After the communication ended, the technicians on the scene continued to work in an orderly manner.
In just four minutes, the technicians had finished cleaning up and left the trial field deep underground under the protection of the Dark Angel.
Then, the “cleaning team” composed of T-800 and the “engineering team” of Hex Robot began to fully clean and renovate the trial field.
——
At the same time, in the observation room above the trial field;
“Ms. Serin!”
The middle-aged supervisor with a Mediterranean hairstyle browsed the test data on the hard light screen. Unable to contain his excitement, he said to Serin beside him:
“The situation of this batch of D-level personnel is stable. They have neither mutated nor lost their minds!
If it weren’t for your advice and help, our research team might have just started using D-level personnel for live experiments.”
“You’re welcome. I’m just following the will of His Majesty.”
Serin did not show any emotion, and her eyes flashed with a faint lavender light.
This showed that she was retrieving files or reading data.
When her eyes returned to normal, Serin turned her head to look at the middle-aged supervisor and said:
“I have a preliminary plan to improve the clone soldiers.”
