Chapter 368: The Death Group Returns

in British Bermuda Islands.

An ordinary-looking campsite.

The sign outside says Imperial Shipping Company.

In fact, it is the headquarters of the Imperial Organization.

From the outside it looks like a militarized industrial park, with warehouses, bungalows, watchtowers, sentry boxes, patrolling soldiers armed with live ammunition, and electrified barbed wire on top of the high walls.

A group of people walked into the warehouse.

Compared to the tight security outside, the inside is more like a natural science museum, with huge specimens of ancient creatures and fossil skeletons pieced together to support them. You have to look up to see the whole picture, and there are also fossil plates of various prehistoric plants and insects.

"Serizawa, do you remember Dr. Zamarak? Our colleague, the front-line, uh, problem biologist."

The leader asked.

"I seem to have some impression."

In the team, a middle-aged Japanese man with a face full of black stubble and wearing round glasses pushed up his glasses and said.

"Ahaha! Welcome, everyone!"

A loud voice came from deep in the hall.

A crazy yellow-haired man came out.

He had a messy afro, a strange white fur coat draped over his skinny shoulders, a blue shirt and trousers underneath, and deep eye sockets and big bags under his eyes.

He put his arm around the leader's shoulders and led everyone to the depths of the hall. He walked unsteadily, pointed at the fossils and skeletons around him, and said with a laugh:

"Look around you. They are just like this. These monsters of all shapes and sizes, these bizarre creatures, have posed thousands of questions to us so-called scholars who think we know nature well. It's really a headache."

He led the group, talking as they walked, introducing the strange biological specimens and fossils of ancient giant beasts around them, where they came from and what eras they belonged to.

"However, this is not the most terrible thing."

The yellow-haired Dr. Zamalak led everyone up the stairs, through layers of security and access control, and arrived at the second floor.

The layout here is like a theater, with dark red curtains hanging on the high walls. Dr. Zamarak pressed a button on the wall, and the curtain slowly opened...

"This is it."

Dr. Zamarak pointed toward the center.

Behind the curtain is a huge cube space carved out of the wall, separated by thick multi-layer bulletproof glass, with a row of spotlights on each diagonal line aimed at the center.

In the middle of the room, there stood a small glass box quietly. Inside was an unidentified object that looked like a pile of cow dung. It was pitch black like asphalt, and was surrounded by five "tentacle"-like synaptic structures, lying there quietly.

Such a large scene, contrasting with such a small thing, seemed a little funny, but no one present underestimated this black block. It was definitely not an ordinary object because it was treated so carefully by the Imperial Organization.

"Dr. Serizawa."

Dr. Zamarak suddenly turned around and looked at someone behind him.

"I heard that you are an expert on Godzilla, so do you know what this is?"

Serizawa Ichiro was stunned when he heard this:

"Uh, I..."

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Dr. Zamarak laughed and stopped asking questions. He turned around, raised his hand, pressed a drop-down valve next to the wall, and said,

"We found this near a small island in the Philippines in 1945. You may not understand why we are so cautious about this little guy..."

"At first we thought it was a scale that had fallen off, but it looked very strange. Upon further inspection, we discovered it was actually a giant cell."

Cells!?

Everyone present was shocked.

The largest cell in the world should be the egg cell of a whale shark, which is said to be as big as a football, but it is still slightly smaller than the black block in front of us.

Dr. Serizawa narrowed his eyes slightly.

A middle-aged blond woman next to her also raised her eyebrows.

"Moreover, each of its cells can survive independently."

Dr. Zamarak added.

The largest single-celled organism in the world should be a giant deep-sea foraminifera or a fernstodes, which is 20 centimeters in diameter, but no bigger than this thing in front of us.

Seeing everyone fall into deep thought.

Dr. Zamarak was very satisfied.

After keeping the secret for quite some time, the answer was finally revealed:

"This is a cell of the Death Swarm."

"oh..."

Everyone suddenly realized.

The Death Swarm, one of Godzilla's archenemies, is a Titan awakened by the Hiroshima nuclear explosion. It is a Titan composed of very small independent creatures but acts in groups. It was chased around the earth by Godzilla. It is said that as long as there is one cell alive, the Death Swarm will not die completely.

The last time the two Titans appeared was at the Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean. The Monarch organization chased the two Titans all the way and found that they were fighting. Wanting to kill two birds with one stone, they dropped mankind's first hydrogen bomb, "Castle Bravo," there and announced it to the outside world as a nuclear test.

The death swarm was killed by the hydrogen bomb.

Godzilla is nowhere to be found.

As if to add fuel to the fire of the crowd's reaction, Dr. Zamarak grasped the gate handle and said:

"If you have no idea what the Death Swarm is, I can totally understand that. It's just that the next scene may be too much for you to watch."

After saying that, Dr. Huangmao pulled down the gate.

"Crack…"

The ceiling of the room cracked open, revealing a launcher that was pointed directly at the cells of the death swarm below. A blindingly bright arc of electricity suddenly burst out from the end of the launcher, instantly causing everyone present to raise their hands to cover their eyes.

Except for Dr. Serizawa and the blonde middle-aged woman.

"Crack!"

"roar--"

A roar from ancient times.

Everyone lowered their arms and opened their eyes.

Before my eyes, a strange black creature as big as a crocodile, flapping a pair of pitch-black bat wings and twisting a segmented snake-like body, was rampaging around in this specially made room, rushing left and right and howling loudly.

"This is a completely new type of super life form!"

Dr. Zamarak exclaimed:

"It's a bit like an ant colony, or the coral polyps on a coral reef, but on a scale we can't even imagine. It's made up of individual organisms that survive and act as a whole, and all they need to regenerate as a whole is radiation."

"Like the tribe, the tribe of death."

"That's why it's called... the Swarm of Death."

Inside the special room, the group of dead cells that had grown larger due to the stimulation of radiation gradually began to lose vitality. They no longer fluttered violently, but began to lie down and gradually shrink.

"Such a powerful Titan beast, which almost never dies completely, why hasn't it been able to rule the entire Earth yet?"

Someone in the team raised his hand and asked.

"Ha, good question."

Dr. Zamarak chuckled when he heard this, and turned to look at Dr. Serizawa who was standing beside him. Dr. Serizawa was stunned by his gaze, and saw the sloppy yellow-haired man said meaningfully:

"Because there is Godzilla."

…

After visiting the headquarters of the Imperial Organization, especially the last group of cells of death, everyone prepared to leave.

Dr. Serizawa and the middle-aged blonde woman were hanging at the end of the team, whispering to each other.

The person who led the team before turned around and reminded:

"Dr. Serizawa, we are ready to leave."

"OK."

Dr. Serizawa agreed.

But he stopped.

Hmm? What does that mean?

The team leader was confused.

Suddenly, black strips emerged from all over the body of "Dr. Serizawa". After twisting and twirling around his body, his figure and appearance, including the clothes on his body, were transformed into that of another person.

A medium-sized, pale-faced man in a windbreaker.

If Fu Qinghai were here now.

You will definitely recognize this old acquaintance.

Lev Alexandrovich.

From the Prototype universe, he is the complete form of the Blacklight virus, the third in command of perfect humans, and nicknamed the "King of Viruses".

The middle-aged blonde woman next to her put her hands in her pockets and looked at everyone with a smile. Suddenly, a black sticky liquid flowed out of her eyes and flowed down her nose in strands. Her whole face and hair slowly melted and slid down. The white coat and suit shirt on her body remained unchanged, but her appearance had become that of a different person.

A middle-aged beauty full of intellectual temperament.

Moira Robinson, the Queen of Fungi.

Everyone present was stunned by this sudden change.

Two familiar colleagues who know each other well suddenly become different people. What happened?

"Thank you, thank you for bringing me here."

Lev Alexandrov said calmly.

After saying that, he raised one arm.

"Shua——"

The arm turned into a huge spiral black spike, which pierced through everyone's chest in an instant. The group of people were strung together like a candied haws stick, their faces frozen in the expressions before death, standing there in a daze.

"Swoosh—"

The black spikes retracted into the arms and disappeared.

"Puff…"

The corpses were lying in a pool of blood.

Alessandro and Moira turned around and looked at the special room. Without the blessing of radiation power, the cells of the Death Swarm turned back into a lump of objects, lying quietly on the floor in the middle of the room, looking harmless.

"I want to eat it."

Alessandro said, raising his chin.

There is firmness and unquestionable determination in his calm tone.

Moira Robinson came over and said,

"Excuse me, Alex, your mental state is not stable. The Death Swarm is not the low-level creatures you devoured before. It is a Titan beast that has existed since ancient times. I think it is best to hand this cell over to the society first..."

"No."

Lev Alexandrov interrupted.

He turned his head and squinted at Moira, and said,

"I know what you are planning, Moira. Hand over the cells to the society first, and then ask Monroe to give them to you to use, right? Sacrifice them to your so-called 'fungus master'? As a human being, you worship a bunch of fungi as God... Haha, as a colleague, I don't want to judge your beliefs..."

"but!"

Alessandro said word by word in a cold voice:

"I must get the cells of the Death Swarm today. I will say this no matter if Melville or Phoenix is ​​here. This is the key to the Blacklight Virus's advancement into a new life form. No one can stop me!"

At the end, the King of Viruses spoke in a grim tone, with decisive words and a murderous aura all over his body.

"Okay, Alex, as you wish."

Moira Robinson had no choice but to avoid the attack, stepped back, and raised her hand to signal "Please do as you please."

Seeing that she was no longer meddling, Alessandro walked forward, staring deeply at the giant black cell in the room, raised his hand and gently touched the bulletproof glass, and then...

"Bang!"

The palm suddenly turned into a hammer and shattered the glass.

The arm slowly stretched out and touched the group of cells.

Finally, slowly swallow and fuse it.

A bulge appeared on his arm, which moved all the way up to his chest and completely disappeared into his body.

"Um..."

The King of Viruses closed his eyes and felt it carefully.

Moira Robinson subconsciously took a step back, a little further away from Alessandro, staring at his back vigilantly, in a defensive posture.

"Hmm!"

Alessandro's eyes suddenly bulged.

"Ugh…Poof!"

A large amount of black mucus came out of his mouth.

"Cough, cough, cough... Uh-huh."

He hunched over and began to twitch, tremble and cough.

"Oh…"

Moira Robinson took two more steps back.

Afraid that it would affect me.

Alessandro's body began to change constantly. Black strips of matter suddenly spurted out and flew around his body. Sometimes they became this person, sometimes that person. There were men, women, old, young, birds, and animals.

Finally, he turned into a snake-like creature with flapping wings, his body as black as ink. After tumbling up and down twice in the spacious space inside the warehouse, he fell to the ground with a "snap", crawling forward with difficulty, struggling in pain...

Finally, the black "monster" was dying. It used up its last bit of strength to slowly raise its head and look at Moira Robinson. It uttered a hoarse voice:

"Radiation, I want radiation, give me radiation..."
