The famous detective in the comic world

Chapter 38 Synthetic Beast

He Nan was startled, and immediately backed away.

And under the flickering light of the flashlight due to the movement of his arm, the owner of the scarlet pupil roared wildly and slammed into the cage.

Even though the cage was so huge and heavy, it still shook under the violent impact and made a loud noise.

Fortunately, the iron cage is not in danger of collapsing.

"Damn!" Ho Nan was still in shock, pointing the gun at the cage: "Scare me! I thought I was going to jump out..."

"My God..." Tom Severed Finger came over to take a look, and was also choked up in fright: "This...what is this thing!"

"If only I knew." He Nan frowned, took a deep breath to calm his beating heart, and stretched out his hand vigilantly towards the cloth covering the iron cage.

Then, give it a hard lift.

As the fabric was torn off, the creature in the iron cage became furious again, and began to howl, while slamming its body fiercely against the cage wall.

This time, He Nan was not frightened again.He just retreated a distance to ensure safety, staring at the strange-looking creature in the cage and frowning.

"This thing is... a Chimera?"

This isn't referring to Marvel's mutant villain Chimera.

Rather, the caged creature appears to be a chimera-like synthetic beast.

The monster has two tails, one is a wriggling, thick venomous snake, and the other is a huge scorpion tail.

Its limbs are extremely thick, and the sharp claws on the left and right sides have different colors.One is gray and black, the other is pale and slightly greenish.

The head appears to be a mash-up of a lizard and a crocodile—it has features of both creatures and resembles nothing.

As for what animal the main body belongs to, I can't tell.But all are covered with gray-black scales, and are twice the size of an adult lion.

"This stuff...it's so cool!" Although Tom Severed Finger was a little scared, he was still very excited: "How do you say they are made?"

"I'm not some crazy biological scientist... how can I understand this." He Nan left the video data on his mobile phone, feeling horrified: "There is another cage, let's see what's inside, let's go... this It’s better not to stay in the place for a long time. Come, help me cover the cloth back.”

It's easy to take off the cloth, but it's troublesome to cover it back intact.

Moreover, the monster's desire to attack was too strong, and its IQ was obviously lacking - even though it knew it couldn't reach the people outside, it kept hitting the cage wall in vain, as if it would shatter in the next second.

Fortunately, after its vision was blocked again, it became quiet instantly.

It seems that it is not easy to raise this synthetic monster.Just close the little black room.

When he lifted the cloth covering another cage, He Nan thought that he had already prepared himself mentally, and he would not be surprised no matter what he saw this time.

However, he was wrong - the scene in the cage was far more terrifying than the monster he just saw.

That's...a hole.

The hole in the bottom of the cage.

No matter what kind of synthetic beast was originally kept here, it was obviously better at digging than the other one.

Only in this way can they penetrate the solid metal cage bottom and the ground together, and escape from the laboratory from the ground.

And this must have been unexpected by the researchers.

"... Tsk. New York's sewers are another threat." Looking at the cage with a hole in it, He Nan felt a chill in his heart: "I'm afraid the sound we heard just now came from it."

"This—let's run away!" Tom with the severed finger panicked: "What if it comes back?"

"It's really time to go." He Nan grabbed the big cloth in a hurry: "Give me a hand, and then we'll... go?"

He Nan's voice suddenly rose in doubt.

Because, he heard something approaching quietly from not far away.

...It seems that they are passing through the door that He Nan knocked and broke the lock.

"Ah... you, did you hear that?" Tom Severed Finger pursed his lips nervously: "What should we do... we will definitely be found if we go out now."

"You can't go out, that road is too narrow." He Nan extinguished the flashlight, reminded himself to be calm in his heart, and said softly to Tom: "Don't worry about that piece of cloth...! Come with me!"

Tom nodded quickly, followed He Nan, and hid behind the cabinet.

And the monster got closer and closer, and finally entered the door.

He Nan held his breath, held a gun in one hand, and put the other into his coat.

Finally, it stepped into the house with bloody eyes and heavy breathing.

What greeted it was the soft sound of the floor tiles sinking.

Aha...!
The moment He Nan heard this voice, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

In the middle of the move!
Either the monster doesn't know that there is a touch trap at the entrance, or it's not smart enough to realize the need to dodge at all.

In short, the moment the floor tiles were sunken, something shot out with a sharp whistling sound and stabbed the monster—and this made the synthetic beast immediately fall into a rage, and began to roar and jump wildly around, blindly launching claws. Hit and bite.

A large number of instruments were smashed to pieces.It can be clearly heard that a stainless steel table is being torn in half directly from the center by sharp teeth.

I definitely don't want to be caught like this... He Nan held the prop in his coat, listened to the indiscriminate destruction of the composite beast, and quickly analyzed what the thing just shot was.

It sounds like a sharp arrow-like object.

And it is unlikely to be a purely anti-personnel flying prop.

Otherwise, it will be placed at the door of the laboratory. If someone else accidentally touches it, the consequences will be devastating—even if you don’t mention these things, you have to think about an arrow. How much damage did it do?

He Nan suspected that even if he shot this guy with a submachine gun, he might not be able to kill him.

Then, this projectile should have an anesthesia effect.

If you accidentally hit one of your own people, there will be no consequences.

If it injures intruders and escaped synthetic beasts, it can be easily captured.

That's probably it... He Nan thought about it: It may take some time for the anesthesia to take effect, and I have to fight for it.

The synth's uproar didn't last long.

After it vented its blind anger and couldn't find the enemy around it, it let out an annoyed growl, and started pacing towards the hiding place of He Nan and the two, looking for prey.

He Nan thought about whether to risk going around with it, betting that he would not be discovered - however, he soon felt that this was not a good idea, and it was better to choose a safer method.

So, He Nan just listened to the synthetic beast getting closer, and finally reached the distance he thought was perfect enough, took out his hand from his coat, and threw a shock bomb at the corner of the cabinet.

The violent shock wave erupted immediately, followed by the angry roar of the synthetic beast.
