"Team Leader Liu, you never come to me for no reason. Tell me, what do you want to talk to me about?"
After walking to a secluded place nearby, Xia Xudan answered the phone with a smile.
The caller was an old acquaintance, Liu Quande, deputy head of the logistics team of the Nanhu Province Special Department.
Probably because they have more contact and are relatively more familiar with each other, some of the more formal communications between special departments and him are now basically handled by Liu Quande, while Uncle Luo is rarely involved due to his own affairs and to avoid suspicion.
As for Liu Quande, to put it nicely, he is serious, to put it bluntly, he is rigid. If there is no serious matter, people will basically never look for him. When he calls, there must be something, either business or trouble.
"The situation is urgent, so it's inconvenient to explain too much. This time I'm here to ask for help from you, Mr. Xia, on behalf of the Magic City branch."
Liu Quande's voice was serious and formal. He said, "A huge mutant werewolf suddenly went out of control on Jinnan Road. That's a busy downtown area. There are a lot of casualties and property losses every minute and every second."
"Why did you choose me? Can't the Magic City Special Operations Team solve it?"
Xia Xu naturally understood what Liu Quande meant.
"The field personnel of the Magic City Special Operations Team and even the Logistics Team are now tied up by a large number of emergencies, and they are unable to rush to the scene in the first place."
Liu Quande was silent for a moment on the phone, and then said, "If ordinary police officers and field agents were to stop this giant werewolf, there would probably be heavy casualties."
"So you thought of me?"
Xia Xu asked.
Liu Quande nodded: "Last time you had a record of killing the Gardner Giant experiment, so they wanted to ask if you are sure you can deal with this giant werewolf, even if you can only hold it off for a while."
"Yes, but I have conditions."
Xia Xu did not refuse. He nodded, gestured to Zhang Meng, Lu Dong and others that he had something to do and had to leave first, and then quickly walked towards the parking lot.
Although he doesn't like to show up in public and act like a middle school superhero, he is still willing to do his best to prevent the tragedy in front of him, not for anything else, but just to make his own thoughts clear.
Of course, he would not miss any benefits that he could get. After all, the special departments are wealthy and powerful, and as long as the conditions are not too excessive, it is basically consensual.
"What conditions?"
After hearing what Xia Xu said, Liu Quande felt relieved.
"The werewolf's body belongs to me, and if I show up, it will be equivalent to provoking Gardner's people. In order to prevent their revenge, I may have to take the initiative afterwards."
As Xia Xu spoke, he quickly walked to the parking lot and got on the Venom supercar.
The giant werewolf is obviously related to Gardner's people, and it is most likely the mutant werewolf that Grant mentioned that was transported to the Magic City.
This werewolf has participated in the Cyborg experiment. Although he doesn't have the same powerful abilities as the mutant Cyborg, he can also achieve a certain degree of bone strengthening and hyperplasia. Now, after being transformed by Gardner, he is definitely worth studying.
"Yes, but the scope of the incident must be controlled."
Liu Quande agreed immediately.
Xia Xu's request was not excessive.
The corpse of the giant werewolf is indeed of great research value, but it is not absolutely necessary for the special department.
It is simply unrealistic to reverse-engineer their manufacturing technology with just a few test subjects or corpses, and they cannot conduct radical human experiments like Gardner did.
And to be honest, they would be happy if Xinghai Biotechnology could gain something. After all, it would be sold to them in the end anyway, so it was just a matter of money. What's more, Xinghai Biotechnology also took on the risk of R&D investment.
As for Xia Xu's other condition, it was more like a heads-up to inform them that he might have to engage in armed conflict with Gardner rather than a condition.
This is actually a vague boundary that both parties are well aware of. If it is not too extreme, they are naturally willing to turn a blind eye. As for if it is too extreme, then we can only wait and see how the situation develops.
"Okay then, I won't waste my time with you. Send me the detailed location and I'll rush over right away."
Xia Xu hung up the phone promptly, and the Venom supercar took off directly.
However, the car did not drive out of the school first, but headed towards the laboratory building of the Mechanical Engineering Department.
He is still quite cautious about his own life.
Last time in Gardner, he was nearly blown to pieces by a punch from the giant experimental subject. This time, facing a potentially even more terrifying giant werewolf, he naturally did not dare to take it lightly. He put on the graphene combat suit first.
Although there is still a lot of testing and fine-tuning to be done, the basic protective function of the graphene combat suit will at least not cause any major problems.
Rushing into the activity room of the Xinghai research team, Xia Xu swiftly pulled off the combat uniform from the puppet model, then took off his own coat and put it on himself in an orderly manner.
Jiang Yuanyuan has proposed a device that uses negative pressure to inflate the combat uniform like blowing up a balloon, so that one can drill directly into it and put it on instantly. However, it has not been produced yet, so it can only be done manually for now.
Fortunately, the entire combat uniform was tailored to his body shape and was very elastic, so it was not difficult to put it on and he put it on quickly.
“It feels good.”
Facing the mirror, Xia Xu moved his body slightly.
The initial design idea of the graphene combat suit is to be hidden under ordinary clothes. Therefore, it does not make the wearer look bloated after putting it on. It just makes the body seem stronger and the muscle lines become more perfect.
His body was already extremely strong from long-term high-intensity training, and now covered with a layer of bionic muscles filled with graphene sponge, his whole body suddenly became full of strength.
Of course, compared to strength and beauty, he cares more about the full sense of security.
The entire set of graphene combat suits, or more precisely, graphene passive exoskeleton, consists of a multi-layer, specially treated flexible graphene surface that is a hundred times stronger than steel, making it indestructible, insulated, breathable, and heat-dissipating.
And beneath this indestructible surface protection are two sets of impact resistance systems.
One is the bionic muscle filled with graphene sponge that imitates muscle lines.
Like real muscles, the high elasticity of graphene sponge can also resist impact and absorb reserve kinetic energy. Whether it is weight-bearing or impact, most of the kinetic energy will be absorbed by this layer of bionic muscle.
And to a certain extent, it can be regarded as real muscle. When the wearer charges to punch, the simulated muscle can also store and then bounce back some of the force, which has the effect of enhancing body strength and reducing muscle load.
The second is a mesh pattern on the bionic muscle layer that overlaps with the surface graphene armor.
This pattern protrudes slightly from the surface and is about the thickness of a bank card. Each line is about the width of a coin, crisscrossing like a spider web all over the limbs and bones. There is also a wide pattern on the back that runs through the neck and coccyx, and forks to reach the ankles.
This kind of pattern is not for visual effect, its arrangement is precisely calculated. Two sets of technologies are contained in these small lines alone.
First, Lu Dong used the windbreaker technology on the surface of his suit to reduce air resistance and friction, which to a certain extent speeds up the movement. However, it is not very noticeable when the movement is slow, and the effect is more obvious when the speed is faster.
In addition, this layer of mesh texture also has an impact-resistant effect, and it is even the real "exoskeleton" of this passive exoskeleton.
These lines are also filled with graphene sponge with a slightly modified manufacturing process. The graphene sponge hardens after being impacted. The lines are soft in normal state, but when impacted and squeezed, they harden into a "skeleton" that covers the entire body.
Using this set of lines designed after precise calculations, any pressure on the limbs or other parts of the body will first be partially absorbed by the graphene sponge that makes up the lines.
The graphene sponge lines harden after being subjected to force, and the remaining pressure that cannot be absorbed will be dispersed in all directions along the hardened mesh patterns, and the dispersed pressure will eventually be discharged through the limbs.
For example, when the shoulders carry heavy objects, part of the pressure will first be absorbed by the lines to harden themselves, and the rest will be dispersed along the reticular lines and wide lines on the back to the legs, and then transmitted to the ground through the soles of the feet, which not only saves physical strength but also increases the load-bearing capacity.
After being absorbed, dispersed and conducted, it can be said that no matter how strong the impact is, nothing will be left. Not to mention that there are bionic muscles on the lower layer, a truck crashing into it would probably be difficult to cause effective damage.
And it’s not that easy to get hit.
Although it is a passive exoskeleton, it can still be equipped with some additional electronic devices and low-energy micro-devices.
The combat suit has built-in micro-vibration elements that are paired with the Bai Ze early warning module. The visor is equipped with the smart glasses system and the Bai Ze system, so it can naturally have the same ranging warning effect as the Bai Ze early warning suit.
With Bai Ze's early warning module, medium and short-range attacks can vibrate and warn in advance, and it is difficult to hit him relying on the reaction speed of the super brain potion.
From this we can see how safe we feel after putting on such a combat uniform!
"Then... let's go."
After just a quick glance without lingering for too long, Xia Xu stretched his hands back, pulled up the hood behind his neck, lowered his head slightly, picked up the mask on the table and slowly pressed it onto his face.
The silver-white visor slowly approached, the field of vision became dark, and only the center of the vision remained. A V-shaped eyepiece gradually enlarged in the child's eye.
Card!
With tiny snaps, the visor fits the face perfectly and is integrated with the inner layer of the hood.
Buzz!
The matte V-shaped eyepiece lights up, and the dark vision becomes bright again.
The brainwave control module starts self-checking...
The visual enhancement module has started self-checking...
Bai Ze system starts self-checking...
Locating terrain data...
Retrieving weather data...
Streams of data and information flow across the field of vision like flowing water.
At the same time, on the outside of the visor, a V-shaped scarlet light lit up synchronously, as if the death god in the darkness suddenly opened his bloodshot eyes.
