Alex stood deep in the laboratory, feeling both shocked and angry at everything before him. The project, named "Project Xyphos," was not only a cruel experiment on Xyphos organisms, but also a mad scheme to change the course of war. He widened his eyes, watching the Xyphos floating in the cultivation tanks, feeling a strong sense of unease and anger. 0
 
"Damn it! These lunatics! Are they out of their minds?" Alex couldn't help but curse, his voice echoing in the laboratory, sounding particularly harsh. Behind this project lay not only scientific arrogance, but also greed for power and contempt for life. Alex's feelings were extremely complex as he tightly gripped a USB storage device containing secrets that could potentially overturn the entire course of the war. 0
 
 
However, what made Alex even more afraid was that this mysterious private commission came from Morgan, and the mysterious recommender behind Morgan was very likely related to Star Alliance. What does this mean? Is Star Alliance also secretly involved in this despicable game? Is the truth of this war even darker than he imagined? 0
 
Alex was filled with doubts and unease, but he knew that now was not the time to hesitate. He had to act immediately, bring this information back to Morgan, and uncover the truth behind all of this. He took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. 0
 
 
Alex stood in the dim laboratory, his gaze firm and alert. Holding the USB device that Morgan had given him, he carefully inserted it into the computer in the lab. A progress bar immediately appeared on the screen, indicating "Data uploading." His heart raced; this data could contain key information that could expose the truth behind the entire "Wormhole Project," perhaps even more secrets that he didn't know about. 0
 
Alex tightly gripped a gun, ready to respond to any potential situation. The sounds outside the laboratory seemed to be blocked by the door, but he knew that the silence could be shattered at any moment. His eyes scanned every corner of the room from time to time, ensuring that he wouldn't be caught off guard by a sudden attack. 0
 
 
The progress bar on the screen slowly advances, and each increase in percentage heightens Alex's tension. He knows that once this data is successfully uploaded, he will have completed his mission, but at the same time, it could also mean that new dangers are imminent. At this critical moment, Alex's mind is racing, but his determination remains unwavering. Suddenly, he feels a gaze fixed on his back, and he quickly raises his gun, aiming behind him, only to find a cultivation tank. 0
 
Alex's heart races at this moment, his hand tightly gripping the gun, aiming at the ominous cultivation tank. The dim light in the laboratory, along with the low hum of the machines, creates a stifling and uneasy atmosphere. He cautiously approaches the cultivation tank, every step feeling like walking on thin ice, afraid of triggering unforeseeable consequences. 0
 
 
As Alex approached, the interior of the incubator gradually became visible. He tried to identify what was bubbling inside through the semi-transparent glass. The liquid inside the incubator had a faint fluorescence, casting a blurry outline. Alex's eyes widened as he tried to capture more details through the dim light. 0
 
At that moment, he noticed that the creature inside the incubator seemed to move slightly. Instinctively, he took a step back, keeping the gun firmly aimed at the moving incubator. His heart raced, knowing that each of the Xyphos creatures preserved in the incubator could pose a deadly threat. 0
 
 
When Alex's headlight beam shone directly into the transparent incubator, the scene inside made him feel an indescribable shock and nausea. Inside the incubator, the humanoid creature was tightly pressed against the glass, as if trying to escape the beam of light. What Alex saw was not only a genetically modified creature, but also a direct result of unbridled scientific experimentation - a life forcibly fused with human and Xyphos genes. 0
 
The creature's face still retained human features, but its skin texture was indistinguishable from the chitinous exoskeleton of the Xyphos Insect tribe. Its eyes were deep and hollow, devoid of any life's radiance, only filled with unfathomable darkness and despair. When Alex's gaze shifted to its right hand, it was not a limb that a human should have, but rather a monstrosity tortured by war and scientific madness. 0
 
 
The hand was not only covered with chitin, but also had sharp claws and spines similar to those of the Xyphos warrior, which were slightly wriggling in the nutrient solution, as if each movement was telling of endless pain and struggle. Alex was filled with anger and sorrow, questioning Morgan's plan and the motives behind it, feeling it was a blasphemy against life and madness of war. 0
 
He instantly realized that the so-called "Insect Erosion Plan" was not only a control experiment on the Xyphos Insect tribe, but also a challenge to the moral bottom line of humanity. Alex took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. He knew it was not the time to be emotional, the mission was not over yet. 0
 
 
When Alex's headlight beam continued to shine on the mixed experimental sample inside the culture tank, unusual changes began to occur. The originally dormant creature began to make subtle movements, with its left fingertips twitching slightly, seemingly exhibiting an instinctive response to the stimulus of the light. What startled Alex even more was that the creature's head began to turn slowly, despite its compound eyes remaining tightly closed, there seemed to be a sense of awakening emanating from beneath those closed eyelids. 0
 
In the dim light, those originally motionless compound eyes began to tremble slightly, as if struggling to adapt to the light, perhaps exploring the unknown outside world. The slight twisting and response of this creature in the culture fluid is not just physical twitching, but more like a response it is making in its deep consciousness to this sudden stimulus of light. 0
 
 
Alex felt a chill run down his spine, the scene was both unfamiliar and terrifying to him. He realized that this creature, this distorted product of scientific experimentation, still retained instinctual reactions even in an unconscious state. This made Alex ponder, how could the scientists behind these creatures bring themselves to conduct such experiments? Could they truly turn a blind eye to such morally reprehensible behavior? 0
