The Bloody Battlefield

Researcher Chen and Researcher Liu witnessed this bloody slaughter...

Ever since the slaughter began, Researcher Liu immediately clipped a video segment and sent it to Researcher Chen, asking him to write an experimental report right away and notify the higher-ups that an animal riot was highly likely to occur, urging them to make the necessary preparations!

But Researcher Chen, hearing Researcher Liu's words, was still half-believing and half-doubting, because he had only seen Dog No. 1's location experience slaughter among the animals.

When Researcher Liu told him to write the experimental report, he immediately went to check with the other researchers. He observed and inquired around, but there was nothing unusual—no animal sieges, no simultaneous dropping of fruiting bodies... Nothing! Nothing! Nothing!

Only the single individual, Dog No. 1, had undergone a mutation. Researcher Chen felt that with only one such specimen, could they truly confirm that an animal riot was imminent?

Researcher Chen wanted to obtain more specimens before reporting to the higher-ups. He wanted to minimize the margin of error and did not want to make another mistake!

However, the current situation did not allow him to slowly gather specimens and leisurely write an experimental report. Every decision had to be made quickly, without any hesitation.

They say hesitation leads to defeat, but in a situation like this, hesitation would lead to loss of lives—and not just Researcher Chen's life, but those of the residents!

Moreover, in this kind of situation, with Researcher Liu watching him like a hawk, Researcher Chen was not allowed to waste time.

Researcher Liu directly addressed the hesitation clearly visible on Researcher Chen's face and gave him a piece of his mind.

"Xiao Chen, now is not the time for you to collect specimens. Now is the time for us to make timely decisions. When a decision is needed, we must decide. Seizing the opportunity is the most important thing; once some opportunities are missed, it will be too late for regrets!"

After saying this, Researcher Liu focused back on the computer.

Looking at the video footage of Dog No. 1, Researcher Liu felt they truly needed to speed things up!

Thinking of this, he suddenly remembered that he had just scolded Xiao Chen. He wondered if Xiao Chen had gone to report to the higher-ups yet?

Researcher Liu habitually glanced to his side. Standing next to him was indeed Xiao Chen. This made him angry, feeling that Xiao Chen was simply not understanding the gravity of the situation!

Researcher Liu's eyes widened like copper bells, his face flushed, and his lips trembled.

"Xiao Chen! Why are you still standing here! Didn't I tell you to quickly write the experimental report and send it to the higher-ups? I even shared my own data and analysis with you, why are you still standing here like a fool!"

Researcher Chen snapped out of his daze from Researcher Liu's angry roar. He lowered his head, then slowly raised it, looking at Researcher Liu with a dazed expression.

"Teacher Liu, to tell you the truth, I am very hesitant right now. Because some time ago, it was precisely due to an inaccurate prediction of an animal riot that I had to write a self-criticism letter. Therefore, I am afraid of making another wrong judgment, which is why I haven't dared to make a final conclusion."

Researcher Liu let out a sigh, his expression a mix of comfort and bewilderment.

"Xiao Chen, it's not that I want to lecture you, but you've simply had too smooth a path before and faced too few setbacks. Has a single self-criticism letter completely extinguished your passion? In my eyes, you are not that kind of person. In your work, you have never been this indecisive. If you are afraid of making a mistake, then if we are wrong this time, blame it on me! Looking at the existing data and materials, I don't think we'll be wrong this time. Go write the report quickly! This matter really cannot be delayed any longer!"

Researcher Liu spoke to Researcher Chen in an imploring tone.

Hearing this from Researcher Liu, Researcher Chen's eyes lit up, and his spirits lifted significantly.

"Yes, Teacher Liu, I will go write the report right now. I'll trouble you to keep an eye on Dog No. 1 first!"

With that, Researcher Chen ran toward a nearby empty computer and began drafting the experimental report.

Meanwhile, Researcher Liu continued to study the status of Dog No. 1.

The battle at Dog No. 1's location was extremely fierce. At the very beginning, Dog No. 1 was the first to launch an attack, seizing a split second while dodging a blow.

Afterward, it became chaotic, so chaotic that Researcher Liu could not even clearly make out the actions of these animals.

Seeing the footage of this chaotic brawl, Researcher Liu wanted to ask: what on earth were they trying to do?

Previously, Researcher Liu had been wondering whether these animals possessed intelligence, but this battle made him doubt his prior judgment!

This chaotic brawl had started off looking normal, with a ring of animals slowly and orderly surrounding Dog No. 1.

However, after Dog No. 1 killed several animals, the situation became somewhat incomprehensible to Researcher Liu.

In his eyes, an animal that had just been attacking Dog No. 1 suddenly turned around to attack another animal, while Dog No. 1, the original target of the attack, was left alone!

This siege had initially centered around the tree that Dog No. 1 was protecting, but those animals surrounding Dog No. 1 kept a safe distance when approaching it, intentionally avoiding triggering Dog No. 1's vigilance.

Later, they even automatically stayed away from the tree protected by Dog No. 1, not stepping a single foot near it!

In the footage, Dog No. 1 was still continuously searching for opponents, usually delivering fatal blows. Some animals even had their entire heads bitten off by Dog No. 1, leaving only their limbs still moving automatically.

There were also animals whose bellies were ripped open by Dog No. 1, crippling their ability to move and causing them to bleed to death.

On the battlefield of Dog No. 1, Researcher Liu once again witnessed various ways of dying—truly all kinds of deaths, so many that he could barely keep up with watching them.

Of course, fresh blood was also not lacking. From the video, Researcher Liu felt as if blood was splashing everywhere; if it were on-site...

Furthermore, due to the climate and other reasons, Researcher Liu could even see the freshly spilled blood emitting rising steam.

The blood splashed out, rising into the air with the steam, and where it hit the ground, it made the earth look as if it were breathing, with waves of heat rising from the ground into the air. At this moment, the scent of fresh blood was materialized...

Among these, what made Researcher Liu feel that Dog No. 1 had truly evolved again was when it fought a black snake. Dog No. 1 launched a decisive pounce, and the black snake was instantly sliced into several segments, dying on the spot. Meanwhile, Dog No. 1 continued to search for its next target!

One must know that he had previously watched video materials related to Dog No. 1, and originally, Dog No. 1 could not handle such a black snake so cleanly and swiftly.

Researcher Liu still remembered the black snake in the previous video, and it was not as large as this newly killed one!

Furthermore, Dog No. 1's speed had clearly increased significantly. Previously, when it fought the black snake, it had struggled for a long time, consuming a lot of time before the black snake died of exhaustion!

How much time had passed, yet it had progressed so quickly? This was a significant increase in all aspects!

Looking at this new data of Dog No. 1, Researcher Liu quickly recorded it, then pulled up the previous data of Dog No. 1. Once compared, the difference was glaringly obvious!

It was so obvious that Researcher Liu's eyes almost popped out, and his mouth could barely close!
