Chapter 136: Chapter 136: Section 17: Metamorphosis_1

The Director of the Biotechnology Department?

This was a huge surprise for Song Lan, because in his imagination, the director of the Biotechnology Department should have been dead after leaving that recording message.

When he arrived at the Tesla Technology Building, he should have been met with a scene of bloodshed and bodies, but when he expanded his spiritual energy to sense his surroundings, the first person he detected was a man standing, pants dropped, butt facing the mirror. After the man had explained, Song Lan temporarily ruled out the possibility that the director had a peculiar, unmentionable fetish.

It’s true, the director been stabbed.

However, he wasn’t stabbed in the throat but the buttocks, with a deep wound. When Song Lan arrived, the director was hiding in the bathroom, trying to treat his wound himself.

If there was anyone to blame, it was himself for arriving at such an inconvenient time.

"Pull up your pants when you talk."

Song Lan warned him, feeling that something about the situation in this building was quite unusual.

By 2166, thermal sensing technology has become widely popularized. If those biorobots really wanted to take the life of the director, hiding anywhere would be futile.

Soon, the reality confirmed his speculation. When both of them reached the Biological Exhibit Area, one could still faintly hear the wailing of the night shift workers. Half an hour after the attack occurred, the biorobots who had escaped from the display cabinets were long gone. The remaining employees in the exhibition area had already treated their wounds with emergency sprays.

The wounds were not life-threatening, just painful.

Song Lan noticed that the majority of the employees’ wounds were mainly concentrated on the arms or legs. It seemed that the rampaging biorobots aimed to incapacitate them. Only the location of the director’s injury was strange.

"Director!"

Soon, the wailing employees noticed the director. From their resentful glances, Song Lan figured that the internal relationships in their department were not harmonious.

The director gave an awkward smile and took the initiative to say, "I’ve brought help! ’The good Samaritan’ is here to save us!"

This message successfully suppressed the employees’ anger. Most of them had read the first edition of the Law Enforcement Handbook, and the image of the ’good Samaritan’ was deeply ingrained in their hearts.

Seeing the tense look on the director’s face and the subtle atmosphere in the office, Song Lan broadly understood what had happened here before his arrival — the director had likely persuaded his staff to stay behind to hold off the rampaging biorobots while he made his own escape, which also perfectly explained why he was the only one stabbed in the buttocks.

As he fled in panic, he still got caught by a biorobot, hence the wound.

It was as if they were re-enacting ’let the leader escape first’ from the year 2166.

It was fortunate that the biorobots didn’t decide to kill, otherwise all these people would have been gone today.

"Can anyone explain what’s going on?"

"It’s a virus we’ve never seen before! It not only changes the operational logic of the biorobots, but also adds an active attack module to them!"

A technician who had been present throughout the entire incident and had witnessed the rebellion spoke up.

This should have been the responsibility of the Biotechnology Department’s Technical Director, but he was too busy escaping to understand the details.

"The majority of the biorobots that suddenly launched the attack are domestic models. The Tech Department would not install attack modules into them. They should not demonstrate any attack behavior. However, this unknown virus not only made them extremely aggressive, but even endowed them with different abilities based on their characteristics."

For instance, he watched as a second-generation snake-model companion biorobot gained the ability to climb walls, and launched a sneak attack from the ceiling.

Under the influence of the virus, biorobots merged with animal elements revealed their wild side. "Their physical functions are much stronger than humans, once they become aggressive, even adults with guns find it hard to cause them any harm," the technician said with a serious face.

This was a protection mechanism they added while designing the domestic biorobots, which would get activated when the life of the owner was threatened, and the biorobots would unlock the program to ensure their safety.

According to their settings, once the biorobots entered the ’stress’ mode, even fully armed law enforcers could hardly subdue them in a one-on-one situation. Another tricky part was that biorobots in the ’stress’ mode would not cease operation until their body or control system was completely destroyed.

"You have to be careful. If you meet them, you must destroy them entirely to stop their actions."

"Where are those biorobots now?"

Song Lan asked.

He had encountered many injured people on his way here, but he hadn’t seen a single biorobot. To avoid sensing any more disturbing scenes, he limited his spiritual energy sensing range. For now, he could ensure that there were no biorobots from the first floor to the floor where the Biotech Department was located.

"They should have gone upstairs. After the power was cut off, we lost all contact with the upper floors. However, from their behavior, it appears that the biorobots are searching for someone."

"Got it."

Song Lan nodded and headed upstairs alone.

The Technical Director of the Biotechnology Department hastily followed, volunteering, "The whole building is without power now, and you are not very familiar with it here. You need someone to guide you... and the situation upstairs might be much more dangerous than here. We also have the Military Department upstairs, and there are some real killing machines in their exhibition area."

There was a reason he stepped forward.

His subordinates were greatly displeased with him. If the ’good Samaritan’ left, they might gang up on him. Even though the situation upstairs was unknown, it was obviously safer to stick with the ’good Samaritan’ than to stay among a group of injured. More importantly, the Chief Executive Officer was still upstairs. If he could leave an impression that he didn’t run away, but instead bravely went upstairs to rescue others with the ’good Samaritan’, it could significantly benefit his future career.

Song Lan didn’t object.

He wasn’t very knowledgeable about these advanced scientific creations, so if he ever came across something he didn’t understand, he could consult this man who had been stabbed in the buttocks.

No matter what, he held the position of a director, so his technical expertise should be reliable.

In Yuan Fang’s words, there is definitely something strange going on here.

These biorobots appeared mad, but they weren’t entirely so. From their non-lethal behavior and constant searching, it was quite apparent that someone was controlling them.

Their target, undoubtedly, was Lieyang, who was supposed to be transferred here, but he had sneakily gone to the Gold Diggers’ Bar in the middle of the night and luckily missed this scenario.
