Chapter 168: Fist is Truth
"Kill!" After a roar, a cyborg suddenly hit a mutant with his flaming fist, knocking him flying heavily. Then the cyborg leaped up, with a fierce light in his eyes, and used his fists like hammers to smash the head of the fallen cyborg hard!
This cyborg was in such a killing spree that he didn't care about anything else but killing the opponent in front of him!
"Bang!" A crisp gunshot was heard, and the cyborg in mid-air suddenly paused. A syringe was stabbed into his chest. Then he stared at his wound with wide eyes, fell from mid-air with an unwilling expression, and fell into a coma.
At this moment, the same scene happened to a pair of warriors fighting nearby, but this time, the one being defeated was a mutant. The opponent, the mutant, shouted loudly, and an ice spear emerged from his arm, instantly piercing through the mutant's left eye socket and out from the back of his head.
"Drag them away. Replace them." Richemont said coldly. Immediately, someone dragged the unconscious and dead mutants away, and the two mutants left the field and were replaced by others.
Three days had passed since the Savior City was recaptured. During these three days, the military camp in the entire Savior City had been completely transformed into an arena. Almost every moment, there were hundreds of cyborgs or mutants fighting each other. The rules of the battle had been changed after the first day of fighting. Now, the only reward that the cyborgs could get after winning was to be allowed to live temporarily.
Lifeng was not a good man to begin with, and the hands of these modified people were stained with the blood of mutants, so he had no guilt at all for changing his orders every day. In this world, whoever has the bigger fist is right.
If the mutants have the upper hand in the battle between the two sides, then at the critical moment of life and death, the sniper guarding nearby will use a tranquilizer gun to put the mutants into a coma.
Under this rogue fighting style, in just three days, about half of the mutants had died. And Richemont's harvest was also huge, the combat effectiveness of those mutant warriors had been greatly improved!
You have to know that most of these captured mutants were ordinary people before, so although they have superpowers, they don’t have much actual combat experience. Even those mutants who used to be warriors have little experience fighting against modified humans, so their combat effectiveness can be said to be only slightly stronger than the original people. The modified humans are different. They are all warriors or slave hunters with rich combat experience. Many of them are warriors who have undergone secondary or even tertiary transformation. Compared with them, the mutants that Richemont has just rescued are more like a mob. They have superpowers but don’t know how to apply them in combat.
This is also one of the reasons why Richemont decided to improve the combat effectiveness of mutants through fighting after thinking about it. The evolution of superpowers can only be achieved through fighting and understanding between life and death!
At the beginning, except for a few people, all the mutants who participated in the battle basically could not escape the fate of failure. But on the second day, the mutants who had adapted to the battle were able to fight the cyborgs to a draw. On the third day, the number of times the mutants won was far higher than that of the cyborgs.
This is the biggest advantage of mutants, growth!
The combat effectiveness of a cyborg is determined by the number of times the gene has been modified, while the combat effectiveness of a mutant can theoretically grow indefinitely!
The fire mutants who could only use fire fists were now able to use fire balls out of their bodies. The mutants who could only use freezing air were now able to use ice cones and even ice spears. As for the physically enhanced mutants, their bodies became harder, stronger, and faster. The growth of these mutants even exceeded Richemont's own expectations.
After a few days of observation, Richemont finally had a preliminary understanding of mutants and their special abilities.
If we classify mutants by the way they use energy, they can be roughly divided into two types: energy mutants and alien mutants. Energy mutants are those who can release their own energy, which can be further divided into fire energy, ice energy, and rare electric energy, light energy, etc. Alien mutants control their own energy to produce physical mutations, which can be divided into power type, speed type, hard armor type, comprehensive type, and even flying type, etc.!
At the same time, Richemont also discovered that the basis of all these mutations was a basic energy absorbed by their bodies! Richemont's own mutation was also due to this. Although he still couldn't figure out what this basic energy was, Richemont was sure that the main reason why the mutants were able to absorb this basic energy was the transformation of their bodies by the T virus.
It's a pity that I'm not a biologist... Lifeng thought with some regret. His current strength is still too weak. When he really accumulates a certain amount of strength, he must establish his own research team. As a human being, he still has a fanatical obsession and admiration for science.
According to the captured mutants, there is a general division of combat power levels among the current fortress forces. Li Feng already knew these things. When he met the Lone Wolf, the lord of the Skull City, he heard him call himself a level 3 mutant. However, everything happened too fast afterwards, leaving him no time to explore in detail how the combat power levels were divided.
According to the cyborg captives, every large human fortress now has its own set of levels for the division of combat power. But to be fair, there is almost a universal thing. Those who can perceive their own special powers and can use them on their limbs are considered first-level warriors. Those who can use their bodies to release energy are second-level warriors. Those who can release energy completely out of their bodies are third-level warriors. For fourth-level warriors, not only their limbs can release energy, but their entire body can release energy. For fifth-level warriors, they understand the subtle operation methods of energy and their total energy volume has reached a certain level.
Take the Fire Warrior as an example. A Level 1 Fire Warrior can only feel the flame energy, and then make his hands hot, reaching a temperature that an ordinary person cannot bear, and no flame can appear. A Level 2 Fire Warrior can use his fists to burn energy flames for combat. A Level 3 Fire Warrior can release the fire energy in the form of a flame bomb. A Level 4 Fire Warrior can radiate fire energy all over his body. A Level 5 Fire Warrior can control the flame energy to leave the body, and then automatically search for targets in the air, and even form various shapes!
When this standard is applied to mutants with physically altered bodies, it means increasing local strength, improving overall strength, and then developing strong resistance.
Each level is further divided into three levels: A, B, and C. C is the lowest, and so on. As for the existence above level 5, it seems that there is no definite division method because there are too few.
After hearing the other party's description, Li Feng couldn't help but think of the time when he first met Lone Wolf, Lone Wolf once said that he was a level 3 A mutant. So this is what he meant. At that time, Long Ran and Lone Wolf, the two former strongest men, were both level 5.
Li Feng finally had a vague idea of the level of combat power in his mind. However, he had always scoffed at these level divisions. Combat relied not only on personal energy, but more on combat skills and experience. Didn't Li Feng have enough battles in which the weak defeated the strong?
Long Ran’s combat power before his death should have exceeded level five. I just don’t know what level his combat power is now?
