Chapter 1179: Pursuit by the Security Department

Everyone was quite satisfied with the results of the experiment, so the next step was to draw blood from the gorillas to analyze what kind of evolution the X serum had brought to the gorillas. The remaining five failed experimental subjects were sent to the destruction site by the laboratory in stainless steel medical waste containers.

Just when everyone's attention was focused on the gorilla, the deliveryman pulled the waste to the vicinity of the incinerator. However, the employee responsible for pushing the waste into the incinerator happened to receive a phone call and did not notice that the smallest monkey in the stainless steel container suddenly opened its scarlet eyes.

The resurrected monkey seemed to have gained wisdom and quietly crawled out of the container, making almost no noise. When the call was hung up, the employee turned around and suddenly saw a yellow-haired monkey pounce on his face. The huge force made it impossible to break free, and his face was torn apart on the spot.

"Ah~" a shrill scream echoed around the empty incinerator. The other end of the incinerator was connected to the rushing water of the Colorado River. The miserable scream was immediately drowned out by the surging river water.

No matter how loud the sound was, it would seem silent compared to the surging water of the huge Hoover Dam, so much so that the employee was torn to pieces by the monkeys and no one heard his cries.

The monkey tore the man to pieces alive before stopping. It then threw the body parts into the incinerator and left the incinerator with a bloody smell on its body.

Before leaving, the monkey picked up the man's broken mobile phone from the ground, and then smashed the camera in the monitoring room of the incinerator.

The two employees who were originally responsible for security work happened to leave their jobs due to desertion, so even though this bloody scene was captured by surveillance cameras throughout, no one noticed it.

It was not until a day later when the staff member disappeared that the employee's tragic condition was discovered through surveillance footage, which was slightly deteriorated. Of course, the surveillance footage was also retrieved.

After watching the entire video, security chief Rachel Hughes realized that he had caused a big disaster. He immediately reported the news of the monkey's resurrection and the injury to his top commander Stryker.

"What? You said that a monkey among the test subjects in yesterday's experiment came back to life, killed a staff member and hid in the base?"

When Stryker first heard the report, he was a little bit unbelieving, because cremation of the corpse is actually the last step. Before that, some drugs need to be injected to ensure that the experimental subject dies completely.

Although the staff made a series of mistakes this time, the monkey was indeed injected with cyanide, a highly toxic substance. No one knows what caused the monkey to be resurrected and commit an extremely bloody murder case.

Of course, monkeys are wild beasts themselves, and fights between wild beasts and humans are usually not very civilized. However, based on the scraps of meat remaining on the ground, it can be simply analyzed that the monkey's strength has been greatly enhanced, and it is very likely that the X serum has played a certain role.

"Have you found the monkey now?" Stryker didn't mind the death of an insignificant employee, but it was obvious that the lost monkey was the key to the problem.

"Sir, we haven't found it yet!"

As the security director, Rachel Hughes knew what kind of punishment he would face after saying this, but Rachel Hughes, who was in charge of Stryker's methods, did not dare to lie at all, because the worst that he would get for dereliction of duty was dismissal, but lying would mean risking his life.

"Why can't you find it? It shouldn't be that difficult to find it with just one monkey, right?"

Of course Stryker was angry, but there were too many secrets in the base recently. Replacing the security minister hastily would only cause trouble for himself, and many secrets of the base would easily be exposed, so in the end Stryker suppressed his anger.

"The monkey went directly into the bathroom, but there is no surveillance in the bathroom. We have checked and found that the pipes on the top of the bathroom are loose. Considering the small size of the monkey, it is very likely that the monkey has already mixed into the exhaust system of the base."

The base is located underground at the Hoover Dam. The exhaust here basically requires mechanical equipment to exhaust and dry, otherwise the soldiers who stay in this base for a long time will easily get sick.

Therefore, the exhaust system of this base is extremely developed, but there is no monitoring inside the exhaust system because the size cannot accommodate normal humans, but there is indeed no problem for monkeys.

"How long do you estimate it will take to find the monkey for the experiment? You should be aware that this monkey is very likely to have mutated. Ordinary soldiers may not be able to handle it if they encounter it. And the key question is, when can you find that damn monkey?"

Stryker tried his best to suppress his anger. Although Rachel Hughes told him about his current predicament, it seemed that it was almost the same as saying nothing, with almost no difference.

"It's very difficult at the moment. I suggest increasing the scope of surveillance. No matter where in the exhaust system the monkey sneaks into, it will eventually need to come out of the bathroom, so we just need to keep an eye on the bathroom inside the base."

"But there's no surveillance in the bathroom! Or do you plan to have soldiers guarding the bathroom door 24 hours a day?"

"At this time, we can just install surveillance cameras in the bathroom. It may infringe on the privacy of some people, but there is nothing we can do about it. I will inform all the base staff of the reasons, and I believe they will understand."

Rachel Hughes knew that the most urgent task was to catch the monkey, regardless of whether it violated privacy. If the monkey was not caught, there was a high probability that more bloody killings would occur, and privacy would be a small issue at that time.

Yes, installing surveillance cameras in the toilet will indeed disgust everyone, but compared to the issue of life, it seems insignificant.

"Install it directly, but the information about the monitoring cannot be spread out. The information about the mutant monkeys is confidential. Do you understand what I mean?" Stryker glanced at Reacher Hughes with a sidelong glance. Reacher Hughes immediately lowered his head and replied, "I understand!"

"Understood, do it now. Catch the mutant monkey for me within two days, and I won't hold you accountable for your dereliction of duty."

Rachel Hughes immediately led the security guards to install hidden cameras in each bathroom, which were difficult for ordinary people to detect - although this is a military base, 70% of the people are staff and scientific researchers, less than 20% are soldiers, and the rest are administrative staff.
