Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 705: The Tongue That Came to Your Door
"Only two people?" After hearing the news, Ke Lan was not nervous but relieved.
He was just planning to find a way to capture a "tongue" for interrogation, but before he could figure out the specific method, someone from the other side showed up at his doorstep .
"Hmm... there are only two people. Judging from their pace, heartbeat, and breathing rhythm, they should be two level three or four enhanced people. Moreover, no noise of movement was heard in their bodies... These two people are not the vessels of the Seed of Corrosion."
A level three or four enhanced human is nothing more than a serving of meat to Ke Lan and the other three. As the combat leader of the three-person team, Asano Akira's actual combat capability cannot be measured by the existing enhancement level. Even if human enhancement surgery or transformation surgery can break through to level ten, it will only be a piece of cake for him.
And Ke Lan is no longer the last one in the God Hunter Group. After losing his living armor, he retained the physical strength equivalent to that of a level 9 enhanced person. Now, he can kill any one of the six warriors with his bare hands... If two of them come together, it won't be too difficult to win; if there are three, at least they won't be at a disadvantage; if there are four, they can find opportunities to pull them apart and defeat them one by one; if there are five, it should be no problem to protect themselves and delay time to wait for support... But if the opponent doesn't follow the moral principles of martial arts, and six of them come together - although they can't win, at least they can definitely run away.
As for Aya, who has the weakest actual combat power in the three-person team , her combat power has been greatly improved after she changed into the latest generation of prototype cyborg prosthesis... Although this is only her first actual combat with this prosthesis and the data collected is not enough, but at least in terms of performance, it has surpassed Victoria's prosthesis in all aspects.
Let alone three people, any one of them could subdue the two approaching guys... What's more, these two people don't have the parasitic seeds in their bodies.
It's completely like a professional player who mistakenly entered the rhythm of the Iron rank qualifying competition.
"Don't be too harsh , and remember to leave him alive." Ke Lan gently instructed the two, "By the way, Aya, do you have the 'truth serum' with you?"
"What is 'truth serum'? I remember I told you before that the Security Bureau doesn't have that kind of thing... And, as a member of the Crew Association, you should know more about the achievements of the Institute than I do, right?"
"I mean, the kind of drug that can put people into a semi-hypnotic state, and they will answer whatever you ask. I remember that when I was looking through the Security Bureau's interrogation files, this kind of drug was used quite frequently."
"That's the XU3 hallucinogenic interrogation auxiliary potion... This thing is actually not as useful as you said. If the other party has received anti-interrogation training, such as frequently giving themselves psychological hints, setting up false targets in their memories and other means, it will be difficult to ask useful information. In addition, if the other party is an enhanced person above level six, or has been specially modified to resist hallucinogenic drugs, this potion will not work." Aya said quickly.
At this time, even Ke Lan could hear the footsteps of the two people.
"Stop talking so much useless nonsense. I'll just tell you whether you brought it or not."
"Yes."
"That's all." Ke Lan rolled her eyes at her, "Remember to use it later."
“But this thing is only useful in conjunction with a polygraph, a psychological analysis team, and professional interrogators… If you inject it directly into people, even if you get some information out of them, there’s a high probability that it’s nonsense or simply wrong,” Aya explained.
"This is just a backup plan. If the other party insists on being stubborn, we can only give it a try..." Ke Lan was halfway through his words when he suddenly raised his hand.
The footsteps at the stairs stopped. Obviously, the other party's vision should have passed the seventh floor and saw the and the fusion larvae that were eating.
What choice will they make? Go forward and control the fusion larvae or turn around and run?
Ke Lan felt that the second possibility was more likely... After all, two guys with only the strength of a level 3 or 4 enhanced person, without any parasitic erosion seeds in their bodies, could not possibly be the opponent of the fusion body. Unless, the two of them had something that could specifically restrain the fusion body.
Ke Lan had already decided that if the two men intended to turn around and run, they would take the initiative to attack and capture them.
"That... that thing is the mature 'seed'?" A trembling voice came faintly from the direction of the stairs.
"Yes." Another voice said, this voice was relatively calmer, "The initial state of the 'seed' is similar to that of a normal erosion seed, but depending on what it eats, its body will undergo corresponding changes... Looking at its current state, it should have merged with the human genes from the corpses of the guards..."
"But this monster doesn't look like a human, does it?"
"Look carefully, aren't those all human hands and feet... There's also a head and internal organs... It's just that the way they are assembled is completely messed up... I've even seen seeds that look even weirder before..."
From the conversation between the two, Ke Lan and the others learned that the remnants of the heretical sect not only knew about the existence of the fusion, but were also deliberately cultivating this kind of monster...and what made Ke Lan uneasy was that this was obviously not the only fusion within the Nova Chamber of Commerce. Before this, they had already cultivated several such monsters.
I just don’t know where those mature fusion bodies were sent by this group of remnants.
If they were locked up in the headquarters of the Nova Chamber of Commerce, it would be fine. At most, we could use thunder and lightning to wipe it out... But if they have already transferred these fusion bodies to some unknown corner of the wilderness, with the growth and mutation speed of the fusion bodies, I am afraid that in a few years, the Ark will have to face a super monster whose combat power is not weaker than that of the prehistoric species.
"So what should we do now? So many 'containers' have been killed by it. With the strength of just two of us, we can't defeat it at all, right?" asked the somewhat panicked voice at the beginning.
"Go inform the boss... It looks like something went wrong during the experiment. Seed No. 4 matured prematurely. We don't have to take responsibility for this, so don't panic."
The fourth seed? Ke Lan's mind was moved. It seemed that before this, this group of people had already cultivated three fusion bodies? !
I just don't know whether No. 1 to No. 3, which they didn't mention, survived.
