Chapter 142 Soul Devouring? The Reality of Evolution

In the intelligence organizations of all parties, the biological weapons research laboratory of the Root Army, which has been unclear about its specific location, is located in the underground space of the base.

However, the situation shown below at this moment is really not so good.

Sure enough, none of the forces that rose in the doomsday world are innocent, and they all carry deep original sins.

As one of the three major forces in Luocheng, the real weapon of the Root Army is the biochemical transformation warriors known as the ultimate war weapons, which is one of the reasons why they are criticized by many survivors.

Living human experiments are their most basic operation. There was a period of time in Luocheng when a large number of people disappeared in the gathering place. It is said that they were kidnapped by the Root Army and entered the biological transformation research institute.

The Root Army military does not admit this. It is their biological transformation progress that has been advancing by leaps and bounds, and they have vigorously put various transformed human biological weapons into the war market. They can compete with the Black God Group and the Church of the Redeemer Alliance for regions and territories. It is impossible without two brushes.

Behind the light is darkness.

Behind the Root Army, perhaps their own people will live well, but the means they adopt are also extremely cruel and violent.

Under Zheng Yi's gaze, the powerful spiritual power covers the surrounding area, scanning the radiation, and nothing can escape.

After being slashed by the terrifying sword of the phantom of Taishan Mansion transformed by Zheng Yi, the Root Army Base, which has completely turned into ruins, can no longer conceal its inner essence.

One by one, the imprisoned terrorists, abominations, crawlers, and even various strange-looking zombie evolutions and human body transformation creatures, like going to the market, began to rush out of their restraints and madly attack every living creature outside.

These mutants are all products of failure, or they are purely experimental products. Because of the implantation of zombie system cells, they have been infected and mutated, completely losing their human form, and have a great hatred for life.

Any living creatures found, including humans, have become delicacies in their mouths.

This caused screams from time to time in the ruins, followed by the sound of tearing flesh and gnawing bones.

The entire base is divided into more than a dozen floors, and each floor has a large number of laboratories. The surviving experimenters are doing experiments on human bodies every day. They probably never thought that one day, they would become food in the mouths of their research subjects.

Zheng Yi did not show any mercy to the screams that came one after another. He had a calm look and a cold face. He calmly shuttled through the ruins and explored the underground space layer by layer.

Of course, with the destruction of the Rut Army Research Base, the remaining combat zombie evolutions on the front line were soon surrounded by the Soul Palace Army that had gathered.

Led by the Blood Warriors and Ghost Warriors who were the bayonets of the assault, the vanguard directly destroyed the set target.

Then, under the command and order, they surrounded the Tru Army from all directions and completely controlled the Tru Army's base.

They never encountered any decent resistance along the way. Except for the occasional stubborn resistance, who were directly killed, more people knelt down and surrendered.

The sword that fell from the sky by the Lord of Mount Tai shattered the entire military base and cut off the souls and spines of many people. Now many people are so scared that they have lost their will to fight.

The main purpose of the Soul Palace army's pressure is to prevent these terrible zombie evolutions from escaping from here.

After all, how are these things made? They still don't know.

The biological and chemical warfare weapons of the Root Army have been famous for a long time. Many mutant zombies are combined with human bodies to produce some strange and weird changes.

If they cannot be restrained, once they escape the encirclement, with their powerful evolutionary ability, it will not take long for another extremely terrifying monster to appear.

The Supreme Management Committee of the Soul Palace has received intelligence long ago and sent troops very timely. When they saw the Root Army's military base turned into ruins, they knew that the overall situation was set.

Under the leadership of the elite troops, a large number of blood warriors and ghost warriors took action to kill various mutant monsters running around in the ruins.

At the same time, various military branches entered the area at the same time, either to control the survivors or to collect various materials, which are the core to lay the foundation for the continued strengthening of the Soul Palace in the future.

Even if the Soul Palace does not take the path of biochemical warrior transformation in the future, the research data accumulated by the Root Army over the years also provides another evolutionary route for the cultivation and transformation of the human body.

…

Hiss!

Under the ruins, various research laboratories are distributed in layers of underground space.

Zheng Yi walked in the ruins, and the whole person was like a ghost, but even so, he would be attacked by mutant monsters from time to time.

The sword that fell from the sky before smashed the underground cage and released all the mutant monsters.

In the terrifying roar, the bloody breath on the opposite side was strong, and a terrifying crawling monster with a body length of seven or eight meters and exposed flesh and blood rushed towards him like lightning.

Zheng Yi glanced at him, and cold ripples bloomed in his eyes.

A white sword energy flashed, and disappeared together with the huge ruins stone wall in front of him.

The sword energy passed by, and the crawler that rushed out of the shadow was directly cut into two, with blood and intestines flowing all over the ground, and the muscle fibers were clearly exposed.

In Zheng Yi's opinion, these zombie evolutions are already very difficult to deal with. Pure physical attacks are already extremely powerful. Even ordinary psychics have to spend a certain amount of effort to deal with these monsters.

If they are trapped in the siege of the crawlers, it will be even more troublesome.

Unfortunately, these monsters are dealing with him. In front of Zheng Yi, as his mind flashed, Zheng Yi left a pile of corpses wherever he passed.

It must be said that the progress of the underground human laboratory of the Root Army is very rapid. After years of research and accumulation, enough information has been mastered.

The crawler is only the most basic zombie evolution, and more high-level evolutionary human transformation creatures have also made breakthrough progress.

In particular, they have applied these zombie evolution forms to their own people.

When Zheng Yi turned into the face of Taishan God and looked down at the base, the leader of the Root Army, the general, turned into a fear, and the tyrants in the other two evolutionary forms, all had almost the strength of the foundation-building period.

If given enough time, the Tru Army is enough to cultivate a terrifying biochemical army.

By then, even without the sudden rise of the Soul Palace, the distribution of forces in Luocheng would probably change dramatically.

Of course, it is also possible that the mutated monsters will get out of control. If they run out of the military base, it will also cause unimaginable disasters.

At the very least, other small gathering places in Luocheng will definitely find it difficult to resist the attack of such mutated monsters.

For Zheng Yi, he personally took action to destroy the military bases of the Redeemer Alliance and the Root Army in one fell swoop. Although it was a matter of convenience, it was also considered to have eradicated the two biggest tumors for Luocheng.

…

"So that's how it is. It turns out that there are other secrets under this military base..."

After grabbing a few researchers, Zheng Yi was too lazy to talk nonsense. If he wanted to pry the secrets out of their mouths, he would have to spend more time and effort, so he simply searched their souls directly.

Anyway, everyone here is innocent.

With his powerful soul power now, he can obtain a large number of memory fragments by soul-searching these ordinary people. Many of the inside stories of the research base surprised Zheng Yi.

What's more, I have a deeper understanding of the cruelty of human experiments.

Sure enough, the cruelest things in this world to their own kind are often done by humans themselves.

Among the many inside stories obtained from their minds, one of them made Zheng Yi feel very interested.

As the rules of the world changed, the blood moon came to the world, and the zombies came. Many monsters that could not be guessed by common sense appeared in this world, beyond people's imagination.

For example, the Tai Sui human brain on the eighth floor underground of the Black God Group Building, the underground corpse god worshipped by the Redeemer Alliance Church...

Now, in the deepest underground of the Root Army's military research base, Zheng Yi discovered another one.

Skeleton Man-eating Tree!

From the memories of those researchers, Zheng Yi found that it seemed that many human biochemical research experiments were based on this skeleton man-eating tree.

It can be said that this terrifying skeleton tree is a major core of the entire laboratory.

Zheng Yi kept walking down and soon reached the last floor of the base's underground research space.

Zheng Yi suddenly discovered that this place was extremely huge, like an independently opened space.

In the center of the empty space, an ancient tree of 40 to 50 meters stands there.

At first glance, it gives people an extremely evil feeling.

Without getting close, just looking at it from a distance, you will inexplicably feel that a kind of evil is shrouding the body and constantly eroding the human soul, as if to distort the individual's will and spirit.

The tree is completely black, without any leaves around it, and the branches are twisted. Many human skeletons are stuck and grow together with the tree. This may be the origin of its name.

Sure enough, it is a very strange tree, which may eat you at any time.

"There is a human face on the trunk?!"

"This thing is very similar to the soul-eating tree recorded in the legend of the Soul-Snatching Sect, but the appearance is very different..."

Zheng Yi's eyes are sharp. Looking at the thick trunk that seven or eight people can't hug, he can't help but become more and more curious.

Then as he slowly approached, a crack slowly appeared between Zheng Yi's eyebrows, and golden light penetrated out, helping him see through all the nothingness and illusion.

Zheng Yi was surprised to find that not only was there a human face condensed on the trunk, but also a group of soul energy was faintly suspended in the core of the tree. It seemed that because it had devoured too many humans, this strange tree actually began to derive its own spiritual body.

And that soul body was a terrifying and twisted human skull face.

Although it looked like it had no eyes, nose or other facial features, and looked more like a skull-like white mask, the basic outline was indeed revealed.

"This skull tree, maybe it is really the soul-devouring tree in the legend of the Soul-Capture Sect? It's just that because it grows in the doomsday world and devours too many monsters and zombies, it has undergone some kind of mutation..."

A bold idea came to Zheng Yi's mind.

"This soul-devouring tree is a treasure among plants for cultivators who practice the Ghost Controlling Technique. It can even be cultivated as a life-long spiritual plant..."

"Try it!"

Zheng Yi became interested. He stretched out his hand, and a powerful mana unfolded, directly rolling up a crawler in the space above his head and pulling it down fiercely.

The crawler roared violently and wanted to attack Zheng Yi, but was pushed by an invisible force and flew directly towards the skeleton man-eating tree.

He wanted to see if this skeleton man-eating tree was the soul-eating tree recorded in the classics of the Ghost Control Dao.

But the result was beyond Zheng Yi's expectation.

The crawler fell in front of the skeleton man-eating tree and suddenly gave up struggling. Like a docile kitten, it lay quietly in front of it, motionless, without any tendency to attack, and the skeleton man-eating tree did not attack it.

"What is the reason? This skeleton man-eating tree seems to release some kind of spiritual level of electric waves, manipulating the mutated evolutionary monsters..."

Zheng Yi frowned slightly, but became more interested.

At this time, as if it was suddenly activated, under the perception of Zheng Yi's soul power, it was suddenly discovered that a mysterious wave began to emanate from the inside of the skeleton man-eating tree, spreading rapidly to the surroundings in a ripple way.

In the area where it spread, the mysterious spiritual fluctuations swept through every mutated monster, and those monsters immediately attacked all the humans around them like they had received an order.

Now, the people who survived in the entire research base were all researchers who participated in the biochemical transformation experiment.

At the beginning, these people used other people of the same kind as experimental subjects for research, but now they have become the objects of capture, and they are in despair one by one.

Zheng Yi soon discovered that under the command of the skeleton man-eating tree, those mutated and evolved crawlers did not kill the human researchers they caught, but instead gathered in large numbers to the deepest underground space, throwing all the captured researchers in front of the skeleton man-eating tree.

However, in a moment, the survivors of the whole layer were all attacked indiscriminately, and these researchers were taken to the underground space.

Looking at the huge and ferocious skeleton man-eating tree, many researchers turned pale, as if they thought of a tragic ending.

Zheng Yi stood in front of them, but they turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear, as if they could not see it at all.

The level gap between the two sides was too big. With Zheng Yi's soul power, he didn't want these people to see him, which was enough to block these monsters and humans from perceiving him.

Among the creatures present, perhaps only the skeleton man-eating tree could slightly touch Zheng Yi's soul. Unfortunately, this thing was in a daze and had not yet opened its spiritual intelligence. Only a part of its instincts remained. It could feel the instinctive fear of Zheng Yi and dared not approach him.

"Don't..."

"Ah!"

At this time, Zheng Yi clearly saw that the skeleton man-eating tree seemed to be stimulated by something and suddenly moved.

Upon noticing this scene, the researchers who woke up changed color and screamed miserably, trying to escape the control of the skeleton man-eating tree.

Unfortunately, everything was in vain. When he felt the breath of human life appear.

Zheng Yi clearly saw that the human face on the trunk of the skeleton man-eating tree suddenly became extremely excited and became more distorted.

The skeleton man-eating tree, which had been stagnant and motionless, suddenly came to life. Thick roots stretched out from the ground, like flexible tentacles, and with a sharp sound of wind, instantly enveloped all the researchers.

"Ah!"

The shrill screams echoed in the empty underground space, and the tentacles stretched out like a vigorous python, directly tying up the researchers, and piercing the researchers without hesitation.

Almost in the space of a breath, the bodies of the researchers seemed to shrink and quickly became shriveled, and the clothes fell off, leaving only two taels of white bones scattered on the ground.

The whole process was so short that people could not react at all. The researchers turned into small piles of white bones and fell on the ground.

This was also the last thing they left to the world, just as they did to the experimental subjects.

Zheng Yi watched coldly. In fact, with his strength, he had a chance to save these people, but each of them had deep resentment. There is a cause and an effect. These researchers were full of resentment and deserved this disaster.

Zheng Yi was too lazy to do anything.

"Is that the evolutionary reality mentioned by the biochemical research base?!"

Zheng Yi noticed that after devouring many researchers, several fruits of different colors grew on the bare branches of the skeleton man-eating tree.

There are green, orange, and red...

These fruits with tempting aroma, combined with the bare branches and the black trunks dotted with pale skeletons, give people an extremely weird feeling.

From the memory obtained by Zheng Yi's soul search, after this skeleton man-eating tree devours living people, it will grow some strange fruits, which are called evolutionary reality by scientific researchers, and after eating those fruits, the human body will also mutate.

A large part of the topics of the experimental base came from this.

This skeleton man-eating tree is also one of the most important treasures of the entire base.

The origin of the final creation of the mutant horrors, abominations, and zombie-like evolutionary monsters like crawlers is also related to this.

Of course, only a part of the people can mutate. After swallowing these fruits, most people cannot bear the pressure at all, and their genes collapse, and they will directly become unconscious zombies, which are the most useless garbage.

Will be imprisoned in the underground test site and continue to be a test subject.

Over the years, the Root Army base has captured a large number of ordinary humans for human experiments. Although the process is very cruel and bloody, it has indeed achieved very significant results.

It is already possible to conduct large-scale human genetic experiments. Even the top military officials have undergone biological transformation. The stronger the strength and willpower of a person, the greater the degree of evolution after the transformation.
