Chapter 187: The Source of the Monsters

This situation is very strange. Everyone saw that the monsters outside all came from this underground base. They couldn't have just appeared out of nowhere. There must be a reason for it.

After a careful inspection by the Navy SEALs, they found some clues in the research logs.

It turned out that the research staff here had discovered during their studies that the cell division rate of these synthetic monsters was very fast, several tens of times faster than that of ordinary humans. In other words, their lifespan was several tens of times shorter than that of normal animals.

An animal that could have lived for ten years at most could only live for a few months after being synthesized.

Later, the research staff here tried hard to improve and eliminate this disadvantage, but unfortunately they failed. Instead, the stimulation of cell division accelerated, making these synthetic monsters stronger and breaking out of their containers, devouring all the research staff on the spot.

However, the drug that could stimulate the cell division of synthetic monsters was not stored in large quantities, and even so, it still created one hundred thousand synthetic monsters.

Su Chen finally knew that so many synthetic monsters were actually accidentally born.

"It seems that humans are either on the road to destroying others or destroying themselves." Su Chen shook his head helplessly.

Humans had done this kind of suicidal thing before, but before the incident at this research base, humans had experienced even more serious things.

Now that they knew the source of the synthetic monsters, there was no big problem left. All they had to do was find the place where the mech technology was located. If the Navy SEALs could bring it back directly, that would be best.

This way, they would not have to worry about the research base and could use firepower to cover the area.

Captain searched, but did not find anything that could counteract the synthetic monsters. He didn't care, as that was not his purpose for coming here.

The group continued to move deeper and found many small research labs, where they were researching various technologies. No matter what it was, the team took everything and brought it back. These were all the best materials for Engineer's research.

"This is... a mech?"

Finally, they came to a large space where several large chunks that looked like mechs were parked. The humanoid structure was ten meters tall, made of various rare metals, and emitted a cold and chilling light.

They carefully looked at it. There were six mechs in total, but unfortunately only one looked like it was completed. The rest were all unfinished.

They quickly searched for all kinds of information, took a brief look, and it was indeed a mech technology. However, the research staff here had not fully researched it, and could only barely build a drivable mech.

According to their calculations, the mechs they built were at most less than ten percent of the level described in the mech technology.

This was more than thirty years of research, but only this level. This showed that this mech technology was absolutely extraordinary.

Of course, this was not a problem for Su Chen. As long as he had the complete mech technology, Engineer could definitely figure it out. Then, he could use it to improve his Tengu mech.

Su Chen never forgot that his biggest cheat was the Red Alert system. Everything had to revolve around Red Alert units. Even if this technology produced powerful mechs, he could not replace all of his mechs with this one.

Even the Rift Generator technology and Half-Beast technology from before were used on his Red Alert units first, producing a stronger Rift Generator and greatly enhancing the strength of the Beastmen.

In this way, when the mech technology was used on the Tengu mech, his Tengu mech would also become stronger.

"Commander, we have obtained all of the mech technology, and there is a complete mech here. Should we bring it back?" Captain asked.

"No need, as long as we occupy that place, everything there is mine. You guys just need to protect the mech there," Su Chen responded.

"Understood."

Su Yi quickly received the message from the SEAL team captain and glanced into the distance before giving the order, "Everyone, charge!"

The Beastmen led the way as the strongest meat shields, capable of withstanding any attack from synthetic monsters. Rocket Troopers and Rocketeers followed closely behind, with the task of quickly clearing out the synthetic monsters and protecting the Beastmen.

Red Alert Soldiers, Magnetron Troopers, and other units marched forward, with no monster able to stop their footsteps.

Tanks fired their cannons with booming explosions, rockets flew everywhere, and the synthetic monsters screamed in agony. This was a massacre!

The strength of the synthetic monsters was mostly third or fourth tier, with fifth tier being rare and no sixth or seventh tier monsters present.

This meant that, compared to individual strength, these synthetic monsters were no match for the soldiers. Any soldier in the team, even the weakest, was at least fourth tier.

The only advantage of the synthetic monsters was their tough metallic bodies, which made it difficult to easily break them with regular attacks.

The synthetic monsters let out strange cries as they rushed from all sides, blocking the team's footsteps.

It was a great battle with a ten thousand-strong army fighting against one hundred thousand synthetic monsters.

Facing the airborne enemies, the synthetic monsters didn't just sit and wait for death. Some of the land-based synthetic monsters picked up rocks, trees, and even the corpses of their companions, throwing them into the air. A few flying synthetic monsters howled as they charged toward Red Alert's flying units.

Seeing this, Su Yi, standing on the armed helicopter, had a cold expression. "Move forward!"

At that moment, Su Yi's words seemed to have a specific effect. The soldiers who were stopped abruptly continued to move forward, stepping on the bodies of the synthetic monsters.

"What was that just now?" Su Chen didn't quite understand.

The System kindly explained, "Su Yi has become a commander-type soldier, and his words will have a compulsory effect on soldiers with a lower rank than him. You can understand it as adding a layer of buff. Of course, the effect of the buff changes with his words. Just now, it should have produced the effect of ignoring enemy units and forcing them to move forward."

Su Chen was amazed. "My soldiers would be invincible if I gave them dozens of layers of buff at once, right?"

The System poured cold water on him. "Master, wake up. This kind of buff is not that simple. It requires Su Yi's energy to consume. Just now, giving the ten thousand-strong army a buff consumed at least half of his energy. If he did it again, I estimate he would become weak."
