Aztec, Holtem, Eastern Suburban Villa.

In the hall, Ilumi was sitting on the sofa. There was a computer on the coffee table, which was playing the video of the attack on Sergun's team.

Ilumi, Andres, and Ahmed are watching it over and over again.

"Stop!" Yilumi suddenly stopped, clasping the fingers of his right hand and left hand on his thigh, and said softly: "Go back for three seconds and enlarge the middle."

Following Ilumi's instructions, Ixhampe rewinded the video for three seconds. The picture was exactly the moment when the red monster penetrated Sergun with one of its tentacles.

The picture freezes, and the tentacle in the middle of the screen gradually enlarges.

"It's been put to the maximum level."

Ikshampe's voice sounded on the computer, and the screen stopped zooming in. If it continued, it would become unclear.

"What's this?"

Andres looked at the enlarged tentacles on the computer, to be precise, the dense lines inside the tentacles, like capillaries or nerves.

"These things look like cell structures." Andres frowned: "I just don't know what kind of biological cell structure they are."

"It looks a bit like a human. Could this monster have eaten a human?" Andres became unusually interested. He turned to look at Ilumi and grinned: "The matter here is over.

Now, let’s go to the island country too.”

Yilumi looked at the cell structure in the picture and frowned: "I remember that Glied transferred an animal corpse to the Biomedical Research and Development Department."

"Yes."

"Pick me up Dr. Helen."

"yes."

The three people in Ilumi waited for a moment. The computer screen flashed and a square window appeared on the left side of the screen. Helen Stuart in a white protective suit appeared in the window.

"boss."

"Have you found any results about the animal carcasses that Gleed found in the island country?" Ilumi asked.

"That rabbit and wolf..." Dr. Helen looked at Ilumi on the screen, then turned to look at the research room next to him, and said, "Let me put it this way."

"The fluid in the body of the rabbit and wolf was the moisture after infection. They did not evaporate, but remained in liquid form and attached to the body."

Dr. Helen clicked quickly on the computer keyboard, and the picture in the window instantly turned into a pool of liquid. As the lens zoomed in, particles of waste cells could be seen.

The other part is an irregularly shaped white translucent cell, the surface of which is covered with dense translucent hairs, like tentacles.

"There are some waste blood cells in these fluids, just like a normal infection."

"But beyond that, there's something I've never seen before."

"They are like a pack of evil wolves, frantically devouring the surrounding cells, and then through some kind of metabolic reaction, they expel the devoured cells as waste and then replace them themselves."

"Swallowed, expelled, replaced?" Yilumi narrowed his eyes, "Have you ever compared it with the infection in White Rock Canyon?"

"That's what I want to say too."

The screen flashed, and another picture with many waste cells and white cells appeared. Dr. Helen Stuart continued:

"These are from the corpse of the rabbit and wolf. I did a destruction experiment and heated them."

One hundred degrees.

Two hundred degrees.

Three hundred degrees.

As the temperature rises, the used blood cells in the picture quickly turn black and change color during heating. When the temperature reaches nearly 700 degrees, the used blood cells have completely turned into a black waste, while those white cells are still alive.

Come down.

"It's amazing." There was a sense of surprise in Dr. Helen's voice, "But it's not over yet. Let me show you the infections in White Rock Canyon."

The screen flashed, and another type of black cells appeared on the right side of the screen, contrasting with the white cells on the left side of the screen, and the destruction test began again.

The same is true for heating. When heated to thousands of degrees, the previously surviving white cells suddenly exploded, indicating that they were dead.

On the other side, the heating continues.

One thousand degrees, one thousand one hundred degrees, one thousand and one hundred degrees.

It was not until two thousand degrees that changes began to occur, and some black cells began to die. However, it was not until three thousand degrees that these black cells continued to die one after another.

"Hey, are these things cheating?"

Andres looked at the exploding cells in the screen, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"You see." The screen flashed, and Dr. Helen's face reappeared on the screen. "I started the experiment with the second, third, and fourth groups."

"Three groups of Dr. Kermit have a hypothesis that this is an intelligent entity with complete intelligence."

"Although they are only a few cells in size, their numbers are endless. They can invade the organism, phagocytose cells, exclude cells, replace them, and finally reorganize."

"Reorganization?" Yilumi's eyes narrowed, "What will the reorganization be like?"

"80% of the form and content of our existence depends on the expression of genes. By integrating this gene, anything is possible."

"Maybe there is no change at all, maybe... it becomes another species, maybe aliens." Dr. Helen Stuart shrugged her shoulders and said: "Boss, I suggest that our mercenaries in the island country be transferred immediately

The troops will bring them back."

"If they stay there, their sacrifice will be in vain."

"If the [alpha] force and the [emer] force are in contact, they can still come into contact. There is no risk of infection in a fully enclosed exoskeleton."

"You don't have to worry about it, just do the experiment."

Ilumi waved his hand, the communication was interrupted, and Dr. Helen Stuart's face disappeared from the screen.

"You've all finished reading it, what do you think?" Yilumi asked.

"Swallow, eliminate, replace, it sounds familiar." Andres rubbed his chin with his right hand. After all, he himself was involved in medicine.

"***-S920." Amed spat out a set of numerical serial numbers, "Able to learn and imitate any living thing, and has the ability to change into any biological form at will."

"Oh~" After Ahmed mentioned it, Andres remembered it, raised his index finger, and suddenly realized: "They are those undersea creatures living at the bottom of the Coman Trench."

"I remember that they...in...several years ago they killed the scientists of the Ozma Federation and fled to the human world." Andres was a little unsure about the time. "I didn't expect that they would go to the island country."

It’s a tiny place.”

"It may not be the original batch." Ahmed frowned: "They can imitate and learn, and replace living things. Maybe they have developed a considerable number."

"That's true." Andres nodded, "Actually, what I'm most curious about right now is, how did the explosion in White Rock Canyon... happen?"

"It's not like those undersea creatures blew themselves up, right?"
