Chapter 16

In the universe, there are always novel things.

Some people are so scared by the Foundation's livestream that they don't dare to walk at night, seeing people as if they had seen ghosts;

Some people treat it as a story collection, unable to eat without listening.

Others have discovered business opportunities and started cultural and creative products.

In a corner of the universe, on a certain planet.

A gelatinous life form of indefinite shape lives here.

An individual of this population is using ChatPPT to generate website code, earning commissions by taking advertising promotions.

The website's main content is the Foundation's object inventory.

At this moment, it is commenting on [SCP-682].

Its evaluation is basically a reproduction of mainstream opinions, full of questioning and denial of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.

"[SCP-682] is small in size, moves and reacts quickly, and can be immune to acid."

"But its performance is inconsistent with the documents provided by the Foundation; it has no lethality, and even failed to pose a threat to the Voidranger, and was killed on the spot."

"..."

"Here, the author has to question the authenticity of the documents provided by the Foundation; at least according to the current performance, [SCP-682] is just a strange lizard with an ugly appearance."

Before long, it uploaded this content and very thoughtfully added a [Dead] tag after [SCP-682].

But the next moment, a hellish thing happened.

In the footage, the corpse of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile actually began to shake.

Immediately after, its limbs began to bend slowly, recovering its mobility.

And the wound on its head still existed.

There were even brains flowing out from the crack below!

The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile twisted its neck, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

Then, it cursed with quite lethal and vicious words.

Even an orphan who curses his parents every day would break down after hearing this.

So much so that the audience outside the screen was affected.

However, once the short period of high blood pressure passed.

They picked up their pens one after another and wrote down that passage for future use.

People were surprised that it actually had higher intelligence than [SCP-610], ignoring the miracle of its resurrection.

Just as the audience was looking forward to it saying more shocking words.

The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile glanced at the corridor where the Voidranger left, and then looked at the potted plant in the cabin.

In full view of everyone, it turned around and began to gnaw on the leaves and branches of the potted plant.

Less than ten minutes.

The plant, soil, and ceramic flowerpot were eaten clean by the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile.

And the size of the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile actually soared from the gecko level of a palm size to the Komodo dragon level of a person's length.

What surprised the audience even more was that it actively evolved camouflage ability, allowing it to disguise itself as a pile of debris.

"Is it really a biological creature? Except for earthworms, I have never heard of an animal that can eat soil!"

"I have studied astrobiology for hundreds of years and have never seen any creature with this growth rate!"

"It belongs to the level where the Aeon of 'Abundance' would be ecstatic; it grows as much meat as it eats soil. I suggest the Foundation perform genetic modification on it so that its meat has delicious characteristics."

"I'm worried that the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile will actively evolve to make its meat sour and extremely chewy. And are you really not worried that the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile meat you eat will grow into a new reptile in your body?"

"Only this level of life form is qualified to be called an 'Object'."

"If I remember correctly, the Foundation transports it in acid, right? Does it also have strong acid resistance?"

"..."

The discussion on the internet continued.

The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile temporarily stopped eating.

Linglong 984177810

Or rather, stopped eating vegetarian.

The eight eyes on its head blinked in unison, its eyes full of anger and hatred.

Although it already hated the Foundation and humans to the extreme.

But, its hatred for that strange "human" at this moment was ten times, even nine times more than the Foundation!

Never before had anyone dared to despise it so much and challenge its dignity as a top predator!

Even in the Foundation, it was tortured until its internal organs were exposed and it was on the verge of death, and those researchers didn't dare to get too close to it!

And it was just stabbed once just now, and hadn't lost its mobility, yet that "human" dared to think it was dead?

This is contempt for it!

It roared deeply, its voice even uglier than an old crow:

"I will sever, cut, and mince your bodies!!!"

After speaking, it followed the traces on the ground, searching room by room.

In less than half a minute, it passed through several cabins and corridors.

Finally, it found its dream target.

It was very happy.

So.

It opened its giant mouth, revealing the hooked teeth spread throughout.

Once this terrifying mouthpart was displayed, the audience felt their scalps go numb.

"These teeth are too unique; are there any brothers with ideas?"

"Too disgusting, teeth growing like this, will it really not hurt the mouth?"

"I think with this guy's constitution, cutting a few holes in the mouth can't even be counted as a wound."

"I thought it grew a mouth full of fishhooks..."

On the Astral Express, Pom-Pom covered its front with its ears, trembling non-stop.

Bai Bai Xuan gently pulled its ears and asked suspiciously:

"It can't jump out of the screen and bite you, is it necessary to be so afraid?"

Pom-Pom snatched its ears back and continued to cover its front:

"This is instinct; seeing it is like seeing a natural enemy; you can also understand it as a mouse seeing a cat."

Bai Bai Xuan couldn't force Pom-Pom to watch the movie with him, so he had to reply:

"Alright."

Luofu Luofu Xianzhou "Luo Fu."

Miss Miss Qingque looked at the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile's mouth full of strange teeth, then looked at the fish bones in her bowl, and then looked at the sour soup fish in the basin.

She could only protest silently:

"Why does the shape of the fish bone look so much like the teeth of [SCP-610]!"

Damn Foundation, she finally went out to eat, and it was ruined!

But she was unwilling.

Picking up a piece of fish meat with chopsticks and moving it to her front, Miss Miss Qingque frowned and ate it.

The moment the fish meat entered her mouth, Miss Miss Qingque felt her stomach turn upside down.

She couldn't eat it at all...

After retching for a while, Miss Miss Qingque silently pushed the fish a little further away.

Pack it up and take it back... she thought.

And in the "Herta" space station.

The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile succeeded in one blow, directly pouncing the Voidranger to the ground from behind.

Its right claw pressed the Voidranger's back of the head, pressing its face into the floor.

Its left claw pressed the Voidranger's waist, fixing its body so it had no chance to struggle or escape.

Subsequently, the Hard-to-Destroy Reptile's giant mouth aimed at the Voidranger's neck.

With a "snap."

The Voidranger's head and body were separated.

This might be the last update today; there's one more chapter, and I don't know if I can finish writing it...

If I don't finish it, I'll leave it for tomorrow morning; no need to wait.
