Fatal Strike: Mercenary Road of Gunfire Ranger
Chapter 481 - 446 Damn!!
CHAPTER 481: CHAPTER 446 DAMN!!
A fossilized body still in a fighting stance lays in a large incubator...
Mountain Eagle isn’t a biologist; he doesn’t know if a human contemporary of the Saber-toothed Tiger being almost 2 meters tall makes sense...
Upon first sight of the body, Mountain Eagle’s only feeling was that it was strong!
Even though only the rough shape of its bones remained, it still gave off an impression of immense strength!
Its sternum and leg bones were broken, yet it was still roaring in anger when it died, with its wide mouth agape showing its fury.
The long spear held in its right hand had long since disappeared, but Mountain Eagle could still feel that this individual had fought until his last breath.
The fossil of the Saber-toothed Tiger wasn’t here, preventing Mountain Eagle from estimating the size of that beast. But even if a person merely faced three Northeast Tigers and managed to die together with them, that would already be a remarkable accomplishment.
Mountain Eagle couldn’t help but place his hand on the incubator, comparing the size of his palm with that of the ancient human’s through the glass.
The rugged bones of the ancient human dwarfed Mountain Eagle’s not-so-small palms.
This was true, vigorous strength radiating from the bones, invoking in Mountain Eagle a sense of admiration.
This was a warrior from ancient times, a main force in protecting his tribe and hunting animals. He might be insignificant in the long history of humankind, but he indeed contributed his part to the proliferation of human beings.
There were some tiny white fluffy substances on the soil surrounding the fossil, probably what Clyde referred to as the fungus.
Mountain Eagle wasn’t interested in this; he tapped on the glass above the ancient warrior, giving a greeting that spanned a hundred thousand years...
As he turned to leave, Mountain Eagle rubbed his fingers feeling something akin to dust on them, but he didn’t pay it much attention. Instead, he strode up to Clyde and said, "I’ve seen it, it’s staggering, but I’m not the slightest bit interested in what you’ve been talking about because I know you haven’t been entirely truthful.
But no matter, this place will be destroyed, and you will stay here to accompany the souls who died in the labs."
Upon hearing this, Clyde momentarily forgot the severe pain in his legs. He spread his arms and shouted loudly, "I haven’t lied! Everything I said is true, we’ve found the key to unlocking the treasury of the human body, we can change the world.
Don’t kill me. We can change the world together. By then, you will be the most powerful man.
If you want money, I can give you lots and lots of money..."
Mountain Eagle shook his head and said, "I don’t believe a single word you’ve said..."
As he raised his pistol, he said, "Don’t worry, once I take your money, I’ll ensure Black Fox accompanies you in burial!"
Clyde raised his hands and loudly cried, "NO, NO, NO..."
Just as Mountain Eagle was about to pull the trigger, a young man in a white lab coat suddenly said, "He’s telling the truth!"
Mountain Eagle paused, turning his head to look at the suddenly brave young man, and said, "What did you say?"
Probably driven by a desire to survive, the young man in the white lab coat knelt on the ground, holding a hard drive that had finished copying, and said, "Everything Mr. Solin said is true!
Dr. Wendy’s experiment has achieved a breakthrough, the genetically engineered babies have reached the third generation.
As long as the blood types match, we can specifically extract their hematopoietic stem cells for transfusion into humans and slowly alter human genes.
We have completed Phase II clinical trials. By extracting hematopoietic stem cells, it’s possible not only to cure genetic diseases but also to slow aging and enhance bodily functions.
This is a truly great discovery!
Everything Mr. Solin said is true; the lab and these data are worth billions. If we can take them out..."
"Bang"
Mountain Eagle decisively pulled the trigger...
These kids were not only genetically edited but in the future, they were not just weapons; they were also blood packs for those seeking longevity and health.
Extracting hematopoietic stem cells and then transfusing them back into the human body is an accepted treatment for genetic diseases.
There’s a controversy over editing embryos and then extracting stem cells...
And this lab was editing embryos to naturally produce genetically superior babies, for the large-scale extraction of high-quality hematopoietic stem cells, providing medical services for those who could afford it...
They let those wealthy individuals gently alter their genes to keep their bodies healthy, keep them young, and make them live longer...
To accomplish this, a massive production of such children is needed!
There are more than ninety pregnant women in the lab; how many children can they give birth to over a few years?
Luna’s number is 3017; from her number alone, it’s apparent that she is the seventeenth child of the third batch, and before her were the first and second batches of children, each batch numbering in the hundreds...
But now all those children have disappeared!
The mortality rate wouldn’t be so high if just blood hematopoietic stem cells were collected; it must have been the extraction targetTypeError: The variable ’html’ referenced before assignment in your code on line 204 columnIndex 51 is not defined. Make sure you have defined the variable before using it in your code.
The bullet penetrated the young man in the white lab coat’s head, causing him to fall to the ground with eyes wide open.
Mountain Eagle walked over, picked up the hard drive, slipped it into his pocket, then turned to face Clyde who looked desperate and tried to speak. He shook his head and emptied his magazine into this man’s head...
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Watching as Clyde’s head was blasted to pieces, Mountain Eagle walked out of the laboratory with a grim face...
Seeing Gray Wolf standing at the door, and Butcher who arrived later, Mountain Eagle said solemnly, "Ensure no one in the laboratory survives...
Let ATF personnel plant explosives inside the mountain, and once those pregnant women are evacuated, I want this place completely destroyed."
Butcher frowned and asked Mountain Eagle, "Boss, what happened?"
Mountain Eagle shook his head, "You wouldn’t want to know!"
Saying this, Mountain Eagle turned and shut the laboratory door, broke the door handle with the butt of his gun, then said to Gray Wolf, "Proceed..."
Gray Wolf nodded gravely and said, "I’ve checked near the elevator. There’s almost a 35-meter distance between the second floor and the cave below, and for security, the laboratory personnel locked the elevator on the second floor. So, the people below have no idea what’s happening up here.
If we take them by surprise, taking out the people on the first floor shouldn’t be too hard."
Mountain Eagle nodded slightly, indicating for Gray Wolf to check all the places on the second floor and make sure not to leave anyone alive.
He didn’t tell Gray Wolf that he had actually never considered going downstairs.
The people below had lost contact with the second floor due to radio interference and without commands and guidance, they could only opt for passive defense, exchanging the lives of modified animals for Jungle Ant’s lives.
Even if it lands one animal per enemy, it’s enough to keep Black Fox outside in the valley.
Mountain Eagle was not in a hurry now. Not to mention that the people below hadn’t realized there was a problem on the upper floors, even if they did, Mountain Eagle would hold his position until all the pregnant women had been evacuated.
The radio signals in the external area had already been cut off, a Crow tightly watching over Black Fox...
Mountain Eagle just needed to use the signal advantage at the right time to take over control of the animals, thereby creating an opportunity for Jungle Ants, then strike both from inside and outside.
Once the Jungle Ants breached the mountain, he would detonate the bombs, trapping everyone inside.
Klein Soling’s personal savings weren’t much, and were a bit complicated to handle, but this was just an additional gain. Mountain Eagle’s target was now half achieved, the other half he had to procure from Black Fox.
Mountain Eagle had originally entered this field because his child was kidnapped, and along the way, he witnessed even more horrifying events.
However, the research and activities carried out in this laboratory were still a shock to his values.
But killing Klein Soling alone was not enough for Mountain Eagle...
To counter a political dynasty, Mountain Eagle first needed a lot of money, then a scapegoat.
And Black Fox could provide him both!
Thinking this, Mountain Eagle suddenly felt a bit tired. He walked over and sat down on a long bench to rest...
After completing a guide mission, Balang approached Mountain Eagle, possibly sensing his master’s fatigue, stretched out his tongue to lick Mountain Eagle’s hand, then jumped onto the bench and rested his head on Mountain Eagle’s thigh, accompanying him for a few minutes.
Perhaps inspired by Balang, Mountain Eagle felt rejuvenated a few minutes later and went to check on the evacuation of the pregnant women.
He had been delayed in the laboratory for nearly half an hour, and by the time he reached the internal exit, the evacuation of the pregnant women had just begun.
Tiffany was still staying with those who had medical and midwifery experience, guarding a few pregnant women in labor in their tents...
The others searched the laboratory for clothes and shoes to give the pregnant women to change into, then ATF and FBI personnel relayed inside the passageway, escorting those pregnant women who could move toward the exit, where Wayne and his team pulled them up using pulleys.
The operation could not be said to be smooth, but the order was well maintained.
ATF and FBI personnel were courteous and firm, winning strong trust from the pregnant women, hence making the operation very cooperative.
It was only then that Mountain Eagle discovered that there were several casualties within the HRT...
One had a rib broken by a bullet, another had two fingers ripped off by a bullet, and one had lost half an ear.
These injured individuals were very tough at that moment; against Mountain Eagle’s advice, they firmly refused to evacuate before the pregnant women.
Looking at a young man known as Pot Lid, who had once expressed opposition, kept covering his ribs and forcing a smile while guarding the exit, Mountain Eagle walked over and patted his shoulder, saying, "Buddy, I know what it’s like to be shot, you should go and get treated first, then you can do more."
Pot Lid looked at Mountain Eagle, firmly shook his head and said: "Sir, if my previous words and actions made you doubt me, I am willing to apologize.
Not because I was wrong, but because you are doing the right thing!
I’ve decided to stay, the hostage rescue team won’t retreat before ensuring the hostages are safe."
Mountain Eagle smiled, nodded and said, "Then you see to it..."
As Mountain Eagle was about to leave, Pot Lid suddenly said loudly: "Sir, if you’re planning to continue the offensive, count me in.
These demons all deserve to go to Hell!"
Mountain Eagle looked at Pot Lid, whose attitude had completely changed, and nodded, "You’re right, demons should go to Hell..."
Saying this, Mountain Eagle watched the pregnant women lining up to enter the passageway, and loudly said: "Your ordeal is regrettable, but brace yourselves...
We can’t stop the tragedy that has already happened, but believe me, someone will avenge you!"
