Chapter 288: Is It the One in Danger

By the time the few Cadian soldiers realized they could not find where that afterimage had gone, the neck of the Cadian soldier who had just opened fire on the flesh was already spurting blood; as he stood on guard, his head slowly dropped to the ground.

"Behind you!" A Cadian soldier saw a figure suddenly appear behind his comrade, its right hand already transformed into a blade, hacking toward his comrade's neck.

This Cadian soldier quickly raised his gun and fired, the laser beam hitting the figure directly, while the Cadian soldier he had warned quickly bent down to dodge; the sharp blade hacked into his helmet, carving a large gash, and the Cadian soldier was also sent flying by the immense force.

Crashing hard against the wall, the other few Cadian soldiers saw this and also opened fire on the figure; the figure was suppressed by the laser guns and fell to the ground, but before dying, it transformed its left hand into a spike and shot it directly at the Cadian soldier closest to it, piercing through that Cadian soldier's eye.

Subsequently, the spike expanded as if exploding, pushing out from inside the Cadian soldier's head, and a series of spikes pierced through the Cadian soldier's head.

Although this Heretic, whose features were no longer recognizable, was finally killed by the laser guns, it came at the cost of the sacrifice of two Cadian soldiers.

"Damn it! What is this situation? His head was blown apart, yet he could still launch a counterattack before dying! Truly a Heretic!"

"Search every room, do not miss any suspicious places!"

The Cadian Sergeant issued the latest order to the soldiers outside through the communication channel.

"Yes!"

After ending the communication, the Cadian Sergeant looked at the Secretary pinned to the ground and said in a serious tone.

"The secretary outside was a Heretic and has been executed, but your identity remains to be confirmed; the possibility that you are also a Heretic cannot be ruled out."

Seeing that the Secretary pinned to the ground by two Cadian soldiers was already starting to have difficulty breathing, the Cadian Sergeant told the two soldiers to loosen their grip slightly, so as not to let him be suffocated to death.

When Jack heard that a person who looked exactly like his secretary had appeared outside, a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

His Back Spirit was of the support type; if he were suddenly attacked by someone beside him, he would certainly be dead for sure.

After receiving the order, the two Cadian soldiers slightly eased their grip, letting the Secretary catch his breath.

Meanwhile, the Cadian Sergeant and another Cadian soldier watched the Secretary vigilantly, ready to eliminate this Heretic before them the moment there was any abnormality.

Just as the two Cadian soldiers' strength lessened, the flesh of the fallen Secretary grew crazily, swallowing the two Cadian soldiers in an instant; the remaining two quickly opened fire on the Heretic in front of them, the laser beams hitting the flesh growing out of the monster and instantly burning holes into it.

But this monster had already locked its target onto Jack and, ignoring the attacks of the two, launched an attack directly at Jack. The Cadian Sergeant hurriedly pulled Jack to the side, but one of Jack's arms was still torn by the tentacle shot out by the monster, and bright red blood instantly stained the documents on the desk.

Seeing that the attack had failed, the monster's flesh expanded rapidly, and a black shadow broke out from the flesh, jumping directly out of the window Jack had just opened.

Cold sweat broke out on Jack's forehead, and the Cadian Sergeant was also stopping the bleeding at Jack's wound.

"That monster escaped; those teammates of yours outside seem to be in danger."

Hearing Jack say this, the Cadian Sergeant shook his head and spoke.

"No, it is that Alien that is in danger."

Jack was left completely confused by what the Cadian Sergeant said, but he did not say anything more; after all, his situation today could already be considered a very good outcome.

The battle just now took only a dozen seconds; when the other Cadian soldiers searching outside heard the commotion in the office and rushed over, they found only their superior and one comrade left in the office, and the two M36 Kantrael-pattern laser guns dropped on the ground seemed to be telling the fate of the other two comrades.

At the same time, the moment the black shadow that escaped the office landed, a half-meter-long Combat Knife came to meet it, causing its left hand to turn into a bone hammer to block that fierce strike.

That Combat Knife hacked fiercely into the bone hammer, embedding itself in it.

"Damn it, finally caught you, Heretic!"

Seeing that the Catachan Combat Knife could not be pulled out, this Catachan hunk immediately let go and threw a Hand Grenade at the Alien's feet.

"Boom!"

After the explosion, the other few Catachan hunks also arrived; looking at the one before them who had a human appearance but had grown Forelimb Blades on its arms that only the Zerg would have, the leading Catachan Sergeant said to the others.

"Damn it, hurry up and finish off this Heretic; I thought there were how many people, just two?"

"Hahaha..."

"You got it, boss!"

Outside the Production Zone Headquarters.

Pake stood quietly on the roof of the building opposite the Production Zone Headquarters, his gaze locked tightly on the battle scene unfolding inside the Production Zone Headquarters.

He saw that the escaped experimental subject was trying its best to escape, but it was surrounded by five burly, muscular hunks with knotted muscles and red headbands.

Those muscular hunks were all powerful, their arms as thick as tree trunks; they brandished Combat Knives in one hand to launch attacks at the experimental subject, while holding Laser Guns in the other to fire at the experimental subject.

Pake watched this scene with a solemn expression, gripping the Controller in his hand so tightly that his knuckles turned slightly white from the excessive force.

Watching the experimental subject gradually lose the strength to resist, Pake threw the Controller in his hand to the ground. With a crisp sound, the Controller instantly shattered into countless fragments.

Pake stepped on those fragments with his feet, as if to vent all the anger and dissatisfaction in his heart. Then, he gently touched his chin, and a smile slowly appeared at the corners of his mouth.

"These soldiers... could they have been summoned by that Yingzhou? They really look quite interesting!" Pake muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with excitement, "If they were modified as experimental subjects, they might be much stronger than this current batch. It's just a pity that I didn't succeed in eliminating Jack, but it doesn't matter; I have already discovered more interesting and more potential experimental subjects anyway."

As soon as he finished speaking, Pake turned and left without hesitation. His figure quickly merged into the darkness and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye, as if he had never appeared at all.

After his wound was bandaged, Jack also heard the sounds of battle outside; he walked to the window and looked out, discovering that those five Catachan hunks had already finished off the monster, but those muscular hunks were also seriously injured, with two of the muscular hunks having their arms hacked off, and fresh blood still flowing continuously from their wounds.

"So that's what you meant by the monster being in danger."

Jack said to the Cadian Sergeant in a somewhat murmuring voice.
