"Don't just stand there! If you don't want to be swallowed by this monster, shoot!"
V roared loudly, then pulled the trigger on the Worm of Man before her.
As if knowing her urgency, a volley of bullets immediately spewed from the gun barrel, flying towards the monster.
Whether it was V's punches or the sound of gunfire that worked, fortunately, Jessica and Moer finally reacted.
Before their brains could process, their muscle memory took over, raising their guns and firing, holding their breath as they squeezed the trigger.
Although it was remarkable that the three of them could muster the courage to open fire on a monster the size of a small mountain,
In terms of physical strength, this monster seemed even more remarkable.
Dozens of bullets hitting the monster's skin in a single breath seemed like a stone sinking into the sea, not even splashing.
The skin, condensed from the solution and human bodies, was incredibly tough. V and the others held their breath and fired dozens of bullets, but couldn't even chip off half a person.
"Watch out!"
Just as the three of them found the bullets' ineffectiveness tricky, the Worm of Man launched an attack.
Of course, rather than an attack, in the eyes of this nascent creature, it was merely a friendly gesture to integrate its three 'companions' into its body.
But this friendly gesture seemed a bit peculiar.
When its head, the size of a bus front, lifted, shadows obscured the lights. The three were scared out of their wits by the sight, grabbing their guns and scrambling backwards.
The massive head slammed to the ground, shaking the earth. Shards of glass and rubble, along with a blast of air, shot up into the sky again.
The three felt bits and pieces of debris clattering against their armor, but they didn't look back, diving under some metal railings, panting heavily.
"Good, good, we dodged it."
Seeing the three narrowly escape the attack, Berry, in front of the vehicle's monitoring screen, collapsed into her seat, her hands trembling.
Things were really serious.
Berry had witnessed the entire process and never expected that this Biotechnica lab harbored such a huge threat in Moritz.
This guy not only played the company but also played them.
Especially that huge worm, estimated to be over twenty meters long; even through a screen, Berry could feel its strangeness and despair.
"No, I must find a way, otherwise, the three of them might not make it out."
This situation was no longer something one or two people could handle. V and the others had to withdraw; such a monster was simply beyond their capabilities.
Berry had also tried to contact Blue Eyes, but they seemed to be offline, with no response at all. Now they could only rely on themselves.
Barely steadying her breath, Berry spoke to V.
"V, listen, the mission has failed. You must withdraw. Your safety is the most important thing right now. I'll come pick you up. Evacuate the lab immediately."
Berry had prepared a backup plan before coming. Her two Chassis were with her now, on the highway in the wasteland. If she deployed them now, they could reach the lab's location within five minutes.
She had no other thoughts now.
No one expected Moritz to have such an ability to create such a monster. She just wanted to get V and the others out.
But unexpectedly, Berry's suggestion was rejected by V.
"No, Berry." Panting heavily, large beads of sweat running down her face, V still did not accept Berry's order to retreat.
"There are still many personnel who haven't evacuated from the lab. You heard it, this monster absorbs humans. If we retreat, who knows how much this monster will grow, and then it will be difficult to deal with it."
"We must deal with this monster, right here!"
Her tone firm, V ultimately resolved to fight to the end.
