"What happened?"

As a passenger bus gradually stopped and was inspected by armed SWAT police, a man looked at the anti-riot vehicle and a dozen armed SWAT police outside and asked curiously.

"It should be because the East China Sea is holding an expo."

His companion replied casually.

"Oh, that's true. The expo is about to be held, and security work must be stepped up."

The man nodded, seemingly getting the answer he wanted. Seeing the special police approaching, he quickly took out his ID card.

There is more than one vehicle being inspected in this way. As long as the vehicle enters and exits the highway, it will basically be carefully inspected, causing a large number of vehicles to be blocked at the entrance and exit of the highway.

On the highway section where a major traffic accident occurred last night, many damaged vehicles have been towed away by tow trucks and the ground has been cleared. However, in a certain area, several damaged vehicles were not towed away, but were left in place.

Next to these severely damaged and deformed vehicles, two white tents were set up. People wearing biochemical protective suits were carefully holding disinfection nozzles and spraying disinfectant on the surrounding ground.

"Swish..."

At this moment, three Army Aviation Z-8A military transport helicopters flew towards this direction in a triangle shape. When they approached the highway, they slowly stopped and landed on the highway.

"Snapped."

A soldier with thick eyebrows wearing a colonel's uniform jumped out of the open hatch, followed by some technical soldiers carrying boxes, as well as heavily armed elite soldiers who were obviously members of the special forces.

"Hello, Chief!"

A person in charge at the scene quickly came over and when he was five or six steps away from the colonel, he stood at attention and saluted.

"Are you the person in charge here?"

The colonel's eyes were cold and almost emotionless: "What are you doing? Why don't you open the blockade some distance away? Why do you let ordinary unrelated people enter here?"

The person in charge broke out in a cold sweat and immediately saluted without trying to argue: "Yes, chief, I will make arrangements immediately."

"All irrelevant personnel are to be cleared out. Those who do not have permission and certificates are not allowed to come within a hundred meters of this place!"

After giving the order, the colonel made a gesture with his eyes. The officer beside him nodded slightly, turned around and gave the order. The soldiers from the special group who got off the transport helicopter all dispersed with guns to drive away the ordinary soldiers.

"Chief."

A man wearing a biochemical protective suit came over and saluted with difficulty.

"How's the situation?"

The colonel glanced at the white tent.

"We are still under observation, and we will continue to observe the specific follow-up situation."

As he spoke, the man led the colonel into the white tent.

The interior of this white tent was large and filled with many instruments, but these were not important. As soon as the colonel's eyes entered the interior of the tent, they were directed towards the central area.

The central area is covered by a transparent glass box, and the cubic structure looks as if it does not exist because of its good light transmittance.

Inside this transparent glass box, there is a pink mass of flesh resembling a human body that is constantly squirming. The reason why it is said to be a meat ball is because in the eyes of others, the thing with the outline of a human body looks like pork on the stall in the vegetable market.

The difference is that this ball of "pork" seems to be alive, with various parts squirming slightly unconsciously.

"What...is this thing?"

The colonel frowned, suppressing the nausea in his heart.

"This...strictly speaking, is a human being!"

"Human? Are you kidding me? Could such a thing be human?"

To say that this was a human being was completely beyond the colonel's common sense. How could he believe it so easily?

"We previously extracted some tissue cells from this thing, and after identifying the DNA, we confirmed that it is human DNA."

The man said: "It is indeed incredible. It is difficult for us to believe that this thing is a human being. However, the DNA of this thing and its outline prove that it should have been a human being during its lifetime."

"In life?"

The colonel looked at him: "You mean, this kind of thing is the victim of an accident?"

"Maybe, maybe not."

The man was confused and said: "Ordinary accidents will not make people like this, so there must be an inducement. Therefore, whether he is a victim of an accident will only be known after the investigation reports of other departments are released."

The colonel didn't speak. Having already received the relevant information, he knew that this accident on the highway was not that simple. It was not the fault of the vehicle itself, nor was there any attack by explosives or weapons. As for what the cause was, the people in the investigation team had already turned their hair gray in panic, and they had not yet figured out what caused it.

"So, when can this thing be taken away?"

"I need a specific time," the colonel asked.

"Chief, I can't give you a specific time guarantee."

The man shook his head: "Whether moving this thing easily will have any adverse effects, we have not yet reached a conclusion. The opinion of the expert group is to keep it as it is and observe."

"How long will it take to observe?"

The colonel was a little impatient and pointed outside the tent: "This is not a military area, nor is it a wilderness. This is the East China Sea Expressway! Do you think you can blockade it for a long time?"

"But……"

"Don't waste time!"

Overruling the man's hesitation, the colonel ordered: "I'll give you another three hours to solve all the difficulties. This thing must be transported back to the Nanjing Military Region tonight."

"Yes, chief, I promise to complete the mission."

Soldiers have a bounden duty to obey orders. No matter how many difficulties they have, they must overcome them. The man had no choice but to agree.

But it's one thing to agree, and it's another thing not to be prepared. Regarding that meat ball, this person felt vaguely uneasy in his heart, and always felt that it was a bad thing to move it easily.

"Hey, no, how could this happen?"

Just when he was about to test again, in the glass cabinet in the central area, the meat ball trembled suddenly, like an ice cube under high temperature, and actually began to melt rapidly, and large areas of dirty light red liquid flowed from the meat ball. After it came down, more than half of the meat ball melted in just a few blinks.

"What happened?"

The colonel turned his head and suddenly heard an exclamation from behind. He quickly turned around and saw the drastic changes in the meat ball in the glass cabinet.

"It's autolysis."

Someone among the remaining people in the tent said in horror.

"Autolysis? What autolysis?"

The colonel was still asking questions, but no researcher answered his questions. Everyone looked at the meat ball with horrified eyes.

The so-called autolysis refers to the fact that tissue cells lose their activity after death and decompose under the action of enzymes released by themselves, causing various organs and tissues of the body to soften and liquefy. This is a very normal phenomenon.

But the phenomenon of autolysis occurs in tissue cells that have lost their activity. This meat ball was full of activity one second, but why did it suddenly lose its activity the next second?

The most unimaginable thing is that autolysis of organs often takes 24 to 48 hours, and most of the body will dissolve in just a few seconds.

However, an incredible scene was staged before their eyes, which shocked five or six on-site researchers to the point where they lost their ability to think. The phenomenon that violated scientific common sense made them collectively lose their voices.

No one had time to save him or do anything else.

As they watched, the mass of flesh continued to decompose and dissolve, and the cell nuclei and even cell bodies completely dissolved and disappeared, turning into a large puddle of blood-red liquid without any value.

"What's going on? What's going on? Speak quickly!"

Grab a researcher, the colonel scolded.

"It's useless, it's too late..."

The man shook his head absentmindedly and said with a wry smile: "It's all in vain. There's no need to waste time now. We can evacuate directly."

"Are you saying all your efforts are in vain?"

The colonel stared at the glass cabinet: "Is there no other way?"

"No."

"To be honest, the phenomenon just now cannot be explained by existing biology..."

After hearing what the man said, the colonel walked out of the tent with a livid face without saying a word, picked up the phone and dialed a number in the Nanjing Military Region.
