Moreover, the shrinkage of the Immovable Nether Dragon's body was related to this thread.
Luican could feel that a stream of pure power was being transmitted from the Immovable Nether Dragon to his body through this thread.
After receiving this energy, his body was obviously getting stronger.
His physique was improving.
He looked down and saw that the fat on his body was disappearing.
On the contrary, strong muscles appeared.
He clenched his fists and felt that his body was full of powerful strength.
"What's going on!"
He was shocked.
The system had suddenly appeared and asked him to devour the Immovable Nether Dragon.
The Immovable Nether Dragon, a Safe-class level 3 anomaly, had a strong body. Ordinary bullets couldn't penetrate its skin at all. Only special bullets aimed at its eyes could kill it.
Now, Luican had devoured the Immovable Nether Dragon, and he had gained its abilities.
He felt that his body had become stronger, and he even had an illusion—he felt he could resist ordinary bullets.
"Roar!"
The body of the Immovable Nether Dragon was shrinking madly; it felt its life slipping away, yet it didn't know the source.
It rushed around madly. The 100-meter diameter cage space was trampled into ruins, like after an earthquake.
Except for Luican, the other nine D-class prisoners were all dead.
"Sir, should we extract him?!"
"Outside the cage," a task force soldier said to Li Xiu in a deep voice.
"No!"
Luther's eyes were fixed on the Immovable Nether Dragon.
At the same time, his gaze swept over Luican's body.
He wanted to know what had happened to the Immovable Nether Dragon and why it had suddenly weakened.
Moreover, its body was shrinking. By now, it was only half its original size.
The task force soldier beside Luther frowned.
Nine D-class prisoners in the cage had died, which exceeded the acceptable loss for this experiment.
D-class prisoners were the SCP's most important "weapon," and they were currently in urgent need.
Now, only one out of the ten D-class prisoners remained.
This went against the purpose of their experiment.
"Sir, if all these D-class personnel die, we will be punished!"
Wang Ming said to Li Xiu in a deep voice.
As the captain of this base's task force, he was qualified to speak to Luther like this, even though Luther was an SCP researcher.
"All consequences will be borne by me. I will write the experiment report!"
Li Xiu said calmly.
His eyes moved back and forth between Luican and the Immovable Nether Dragon; he sensed something abnormal.
"This prisoner's body is getting stronger!"
Li Xiu's eyes were locked on Luican.
Luican was devouring the Immovable Nether Dragon.
As the Immovable Nether Dragon shrank and weakened, Luican became stronger.
"Keep an eye on him!"
Luther said to Wilder beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
The eyes of the task force soldiers all locked onto Luican.
They also sensed that Luican was getting stronger!
"Anomaly!"
Li Xiu suddenly exclaimed.
He felt a threat from Luican, who could be judged as an anomaly.
"Sir, the D-class prisoner has mutated into an anomaly. Should we report it now?"
Wilder asked loudly.
"No, I can still control the situation!"
Luther stared at Luican as if looking at the most perfect test subject.
"Roar!"
Inside the cage, the Immovable Nether Dragon was extremely weak.
By now, its body was only two meters in size.
It was already too weak to be recognizable.
In contrast, Luican had become much stronger.
Finally, Luican walked to the Immovable Nether Dragon.
He looked down at the Immovable Nether Dragon lying on the ground.
Then, he punched the Immovable Nether Dragon's head fiercely.
"Thump..."
It was like a watermelon bursting.
The Immovable Nether Dragon's head was directly shattered by his punch.
"Be alert, anomaly!"
"Outside the cage," Wilder exclaimed.
Immediately, a dozen task force soldiers aimed their special rifles at Luican.
Luican looked up, his cold eyes falling on Luther and the others outside.
Then, his figure turned into a shadow as he instantly rushed towards the cage barrier.
"Apprehend him!"
Luther yelled.
"Don't kill him! I want him alive!"
Li Xiu's eyes were full of excitement.
He had never seen a normal human mutate into an anomaly before.
Now, he was witnessing it.
He needed Luican alive; it would be crucial for his research.
"Switch to tranquilizer rounds!"
Wilder shouted.
Immediately, all the task force soldiers switched to tranquilizer rounds.
"Rat-a-tat-tat..."
A dozen task force soldiers fired frantically at Luican in the cage.
Specially made tranquilizer darts were shot towards Luican.
Luican rushed to the cage door, trying to open it to escape.
"Boom!"
He punched the door hard.
The door did not move at all.
He frowned, dodging the tranquilizer darts flying towards him.
The bullets from the task force soldiers outside could penetrate the cage to attack him, but he could not leave the cage.
"Boom!"
He rushed to the cage barrier next to him and punched it hard.
The glass-like barrier trembled violently.
"You can't escape, D-1008; surrender!"
Luther stood outside the cage and shouted at Luican.
Luican glanced at Luther coldly.
Then, he continued to attack the cage barrier.
He focused his attacks on a single point.
He felt that if he kept attacking, he should be able to break the barrier.
"Sir, I request permission to switch to live ammunition!"
Wilder said loudly to Li Xiu.
Their tranquilizer darts were difficult to hit Luican with.
Even when they did hit, they couldn't penetrate Luican's skin and bounced off.
The tranquilizers were utterly ineffective against Luican.
"Alright, but you cannot kill him. I want him alive!"
Li Xiu nodded.
Luican's skin could withstand tranquilizer darts; they couldn't even break his skin.
This piqued Luther's interest immensely. He felt Luican's skin had the same properties as the Immovable Nether Dragon's.
Remembering the Immovable Nether Dragon's strange condition earlier, he seemed to realize something and looked at Luican with obsession.
"We must capture him. If we can analyze the reason for his mutation into an anomaly, it will be of immense significance to the SCP!"
Luther said loudly.
At this moment, he was obsessed with Luican, utterly crazed.
He even snatched a rifle from a task force soldier and began firing frantically at Luican.
The task force soldiers' bullets were specially made to target anomalies.
Luican felt that the bullets attacking him could at least seriously injure a level 3 anomaly.
His heart trembled.
Although he had obtained the defensive capabilities of the Immovable Nether Dragon, he didn't know if he could withstand the task force soldiers' bullets.
"Pfft..."
A bullet grazed his cheek, leaving a bloody mark.
His body shuddered; he felt the crisis of death.
His skin could not block these bullets.
If he were hit in a vital spot, he would die!
