[Tomorrow is Mother's Day, I wish all mothers in the world happy and safe! No matter how busy you are, don’t forget to send your own greetings~~]
silence.
An oppressive silence filled the entire biochemical area. After a long time, Dr. Curd's hoarse voice came: "I've changed my mind. You are indeed a dangerous man. So, I decided to kill you now!"
As soon as the voice fell, the sound of breaking through the air immediately sounded above Zero's head. A researcher spawn jumped down from the ceiling of the biochemical area. He popped out his dinosaur-like claws with his ten fingers, and fell heavily with the momentum of tearing zero.
Zero simply slid back, causing the spawn to fall to the open space. The claws made a few clear claw marks on the alloy floor, and the sparks generated by the friction burst forth, but they couldn't hurt Zero at all. The researcher still didn't give up, bounced back and turned around. The research uniform on the chest was suddenly torn, and a section of fleshy pad tissue thicker than a meter continued to proliferate, as if a huge tentacle was sweeping towards Zero.
The front end of the tentacles suddenly split to the surroundings, forming a mouthpart full of broken teeth. This thing was enough to swallow zero bites, but the tentacles only protruded a certain distance, and then fell to the ground weakly with a gunshot. In front of the researcher's forehead, a bullet hole appeared at some point, and the spawn's eyes lost their luster immediately, and fell limply to the ground together with the mutated body.
Evolved again.
Zero thought to himself, judging from the data collected from the spinoff attack just now. The speed and strength have increased by at least 5%, and the body has evolved into a more aggressive form, as evidenced by the terrifying claws and the tentacles on the chest.
And derivatives like this have quietly spread throughout the biochemical zone. Zero didn't need to raise his head, but he also knew that there were about twenty spinoffs clinging to the ceiling, and there were more spinoffs approaching continuously in the training tank array, forming a situation of encirclement. Dr. Curd's aura has become blurred, and the similar aura emanating from numerous spawns has become Dr. Curd's best cover, which is also one of Curd's strategies.
A buoy floated deep in the pupil of Zero's right eye, the third-order gene lock restriction was lifted, and Zero fully operated the "prophet" ability. The spinoff is located, the movement trajectory and attack situation are deduced, and countless data are continuously passing through Zero's brain like flowing water. The ever-increasing data processing speed even made Zero's body temperature start to rise. He is using the "Prophet" to capture all the combat data. During the time the ability is active, unless the level between the two is as deep as a gap, the opponent's actions will be different. Want to hide from zero.
So Curd saw a strange battle.
The spin-offs rushed towards Ling from all directions, tearing with claws or biting with their mouths, and the fighting methods were all the same. But Zero seems to have a foresight, always able to evade the attack a few points faster than the spin body, and at the same time counterattack with the two microcomputers in his hand. Zero's counterattack was clean and neat, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to be pointing at the void at random, but at the next moment, his spawn would always crash into the shooting track of the bullet, as if he was sending it up to feed the gun to Zero.
Zero lines flowed through the edge of the cultivation tank array, and the two guns in his hands kept shooting, and more and more spawns were lying on the ground. Ke De's face was ashen, allowing Zero to kill like this, no matter how many spawns he had, he would not be his opponent. In fact, after activating the ability of "Prophet", the group attack has lost its meaning to Zero. Zero can always capture the action trajectory of each target first, and make evasion and counterattack in advance.
It's just that the "prophet" has a limited time, and with Zero's current ability, he can only maintain the "prophet" for about three minutes. Beyond this time, Zero's brain will collapse due to the influx of data that cannot be processed in time.
In the heat of battle, three minutes flew by in the blink of an eye. With bursts of severe pain coming from the brain, Zero knew that he had reached his limit. The constantly rotating symbol in the right eye gradually disappeared, and Zero withdrew from the realm of foresight. It felt like a falcon soaring freely in the sky was suddenly bound to the ground, making Zero feel dull and numb.
Of course, this feeling is also relative to the realm when the "prophet" ability is operating. In terms of emotion, Zero is still extremely sharp. It's just that Zero lost the feeling of controlling the overall situation, and had to deal with the descendants attacking one by one.
At this moment, more than a dozen spawns chased from the ground and the ceiling, but Zero's attention could only be focused on the three spawns that rushed forward first. Of the three spinoffs, two of them bypassed the cultivation tank, their speed increased sharply, and they charged forward with their fearful claws. The third spin-off was a little behind, popping out its chest tentacles from the front to attack. The attacks of the three fell almost at the same time, and it was necessary to make zero take care of one and lose the other.
Zero sneered, leaning forward in an instant, short. The two spawns that came from the left and right collided fiercely. Before the spins could react, the muzzles of the guns that stood up against their chins from below were shocked. The bullets passed straight through their heads and hit the top of the spins Two blood lines popped up. After killing these two spinoffs, Zero rolled and let the tentacles sweeping from the front bite the air.
Bounced from the ground, the tentacles swept over again. Zero swept towards the spawn, moving left and right, making the tentacles' attacks miss one by one. At the moment of approaching the body, Zero jumped up, rolled over the head of the body, and at the same time pointed the muzzle of the gun at the head of the body. When he fell to the ground, the spawn had already limp to the ground.
But there are still more spinoffs to kill, they are like endless puppets, people can't help but marvel at how terrible the splitting performance of the Z substance is. Zero had no time to admire, his eyes suddenly fell on the cultivation tank. The next moment, the double guns were raised, and two bursts of fire smashed the walls of the culture tanks on the left and right. Immediately, a large amount of nutrient base solution sprayed out from the cultivation tank. At the same time, the wall of the cover shattered, and the human body inside naturally slid out of the cultivation tank and fell to the ground.
As soon as they left the cultivation tank, the two human beings, a man and a woman, violently erupted. They were like drowning people who couldn't breathe any air, and after a while they stopped breathing and died completely. Ke De saw it in his eyes, showing a heartbroken expression. These people in the training tank were either the personnel of the previous research base, or the refugees he had captured in the wilderness. For Curd, they are precious foods.
After Substance Z fused with him, it transformed his genes and body, and also changed Curd's recipe. Now he is like a vampire, needing to feed on the fresh blood of creatures. So Ke De put these still alive people into the cultivation tank, and repaired some functions of the biochemical area, let the cultivation tank maintain the life of these food, and suppressed their thinking with special biological organs, making these people become living creatures. A deadly existence.
But because they stayed in the cultivation tank for too long, they have become creatures without will. They have already lost their instincts, and once they leave the cultivation tank, they don't even know how to breathe, so that they suffocate to death.
Of course, their life and death had nothing to do with Curd. It's just that once they die, the blood will coagulate, and the blood of the dead is like a kind of poison to Ke De, which is also one of the defects of Z substance.
Seeing Zero's gun aimed at the cultivation tank again, Curd cursed, but had to order the spawn to protect his granary. In this way, Zero also achieved the effect of a "prophet" to a certain extent. In order to protect the cultivation tank, the spin-offs were exposed to Zero's muzzle. Zero was naturally not polite, and the muzzle of the gun was turned from the training tank to aim at the heads of the spinoffs, headshot one by one.
Curd began to realize that he couldn't seem to make it coexist between the spawn and the culture tank. Derivatives can be produced infinitely through cell division, but every time a cell is lost, it also consumes Kodd's seemingly tiny energy. The cells of Substance Z can divide indefinitely, but the energy cannot be continuously regenerated. The most basic way to replenish energy is to suck fresh blood.
Obviously, now is not a good time to eat, which means that there is also a limit on the number of Kord's crowd tactics.
The number advantage of the spawn body was gradually dragged down by Zero, and Ke De's face was solemn. He "hummed", although he was reluctant, but now he had to create a more powerful spawn. After all, relying on fighting alone to collect zero information, in turn, the speed of promoting the evolution of ordinary spin-offs can no longer keep up with the amount of consumption, so Kodd can only make a decision early. Even if he wants to create a new type of spin-off, from the perspective of suppressing zero, he needs to consume several times the energy of ordinary spin-offs.
The cells in the body are integrating the information of the newborn according to Kord's wishes. The newborn must be strong, and must have an exoskeleton armored stomach in order to deal with Zero's shooting, and secondly, it needs overwhelming strength, etc... . All kinds of information are integrated, intensified, and then a new cell is generated. From this point, the secreted biological matrix quickly formed a meat ball. In the end, Ke De's right palm opened a mouthpart like an ordinary spawn, and the meat ball formed in the body popped out of the mouthpart through the special tube wall and fell to the ground.
After splitting the substance of this new spinoff, Ke De's chest heaved and he gasped. At the same time, there were beads of sweat hanging on his face, just to promote the formation of new spawns, it consumed 15% of his energy. But the pay and the reward are equivalent, Ke De smiled, and the new spawn will bring zero destructive blows.
On the ground, the round meat ball began to produce countless nerves, and the surface of the nerves began to be covered with biofilms, followed by the construction of muscle fibers, and the surface was floating like a horny layer. A new type of derivative is rapidly evolving Taking shape.
The muzzle of the zero gun kept moving, turning the spawn that had been turned into a living target just to protect the cultivation tank into a real corpse. Between the hot metal torrents, Zero will also maliciously destroy Curd's granary when shooting gaps. When seeing these cultivation tanks, Zero has already confirmed that the people inside have become vegetative people without the ability to think because of the suppression of the will by the biological organs.
The whole purpose of their existence is to provide Kodd with food, so Zero doesn't mind destroying the culture tanks and exposing these vegetative people to the air to die. Anyway, even if Zero didn't destroy the cultivation tank, their final fate would be the same. At least for now, they can die with a little more dignity.
And more importantly, Zero wanted to cut down on Curd's food as much as possible. A character like Curd, who can't be called calm at all, often reveals certain weaknesses when faced with desperation. And as long as there is a weakness, Zero will not let it go, whether it is psychological or physical.
However, when a round of shooting blew up more than a dozen training tanks, Zero suddenly looked at the space in front of the right. There, green nutrient base solution exploded, and along with the spraying of the base solution, there were countless fragments of the cover wall of the cultivation tank.
A tall figure came into Zero's eyes.
For a moment, Zero thought that the angry consul of Jotunheim had come to this underground base. But on closer inspection, it is naturally not the consul, but a new type of derivative created by Ke De. This derivative body is about three meters tall, and its muscles are stretched out, just like a muscular man. The body surface of the spawn is covered with a gray-white horny layer, and the head, chest, arms, and lower legs are all covered by exoskeleton armor. From the metallic copper-like luster on the surface of these exoskeletons, it is not difficult to imagine how powerful their defenses are.
Like a giant in heavy armor walking towards Zero step by step, each step sank into the base floor for several minutes, and cracks appeared on the ground. Zero quickly estimated the opponent's weight, and got a scary figure of at least ten tons. That means that the new type of derivative has high-density body tissue, and the prominence of its own weight often means terrifying power.
Judging from the bioenergy sensed by the derivative body, this derivative body has reached at least the seventh-order level.
This is definitely a qualitative leap. Ordinary derivatives are only at the level of five to six levels, while the derivatives in front of them have reached the seventh level. Even if it has no special ability, it only has the power and defense of the seventh level, which is enough to pose a certain threat to the eighth level zero.
Ke De looked at the newborn berserker with heartache. It headed straight towards Zero, but it knocked away the training tanks that blocked its progress. The damage caused by the berserkers alone is far above zero. But this new type of spinoff is different from those researcher-like ordinary versions, it belongs to Curd's temporary creation. After construction, it will only execute the order that Kord originally implanted, but it cannot receive Kord's subsequent instructions. Possessing elementary intelligence, it can be regarded as an independent combat unit. All Kodd can do is to issue vague instructions to the berserker through the original connection, but he cannot ask it to do such delicate orders as avoiding the training tank and advancing.
Heartache to heartache, while the berserker approached Zero, Ke De quietly hid his figure, planning to kill Zero in order to cooperate with the berserk's actions.
Ling Ning stood still on the spot, raised both guns horizontally, and pulled the trigger at the same time. The muzzle of the gun jumped, and the line of fire of the bullet landed on the berserker's chest with astonishing precision. The collision of the bullet and the exoskeleton, and the sound of continuous metal crispness, made Zero frowned. At the bullet point with high speed, the same position is subjected to the impact of 60 rounds per minute, and ordinary metal plates will also be shot through.
But judging from the fact that the berserker's body was only a little stiff under the high-frequency blow, the power of the micro-machine punch obviously couldn't penetrate the giant's exoskeleton. In this case, it means that the density and quality of the armored stomach is equivalent to the tactical armor plate, and the berserk wearing this armored stomach is like a humanoid chariot!
The berserker, who was stopped by the dense fire, had two scarlet lights on the armored stomach above his head. It raised its fist high, and then punched it in the direction of Zero.
The fist blasted into the air, and the strength of the seventh level pushed the air to form a substantial air cannon that blasted towards Zero. There was a sharp hiss in the air, and Ling felt that the oncoming wind pressure was like a volcanic eruption, and the terrifying energy aura was pushed to him step by step. At the end of the wind cannon, there were faint circles of wrinkles on the ground and the cultivation tanks on both sides, which was the phenomenon that the air was distorted by energy.
Zero can imagine that when the wind cannon falls on him, it will explode with a terrifying force of more than a hundred tons!
