Volume 4: Shadows Under the Neon Lights Chapter 210: The Mutated Six Warriors
But at this moment, a loud noise suddenly came from outside the explosion-proof door of the security room!
“Bang!!”
The entire security room shook violently, and Ke Lan almost got his hair caught while zipping up his pants.
"What's going on?" He quickly fastened his belt, put on his protective suit, and grabbed another "Riot Counter" shotgun from the cabinet.
"Something...hiss...is banging on the door." Victoria said. She had taken out all the ammunition boxes in the safe and piled them on the table. Most of the ammunition were non-lethal beanbag bullets. There were only two boxes of lead bullets. Apart from the shotgun, the only other weapons were Tasers and anesthetic needles... These things were quite effective against humans, but they were of no use at all in front of the radioactive monsters.
Ke Lan grabbed a few lead bullets and pushed them into the gun chamber, then quickly walked to the window and looked out through the iron fence and metal net. He saw a tall figure standing in front of the door of the security room. In his hand, he swung a heavy naginata shaped like a Guandao, chopping at the explosion-proof door of the security room again and again.
"It's the guy named 'Zanji' from the Six Samurai." Ke Lan had already read the information that Zofia had passed to him on the way to the East Ninth District. Zhanji was one of the three strongest people among the Six Samurai, possessing the strength of an eighth-level biochemically modified person... But at this time, all the cyborg prostheses on Zhanji's body had been dismantled, and replaced by a large amount of proliferating mutant tissue. Even the long handle of the heavy naginata was also wrapped with constantly wriggling rotten flesh.
Logically speaking, the biological part of biochemically modified people is not very afraid of radiation. Their tissue cells have been strengthened many times and are difficult to be killed by radiation. The artificially adjusted gene sequence is extremely stable, especially for high-level biochemically modified people like the Six Warriors. Even if they are thrown next to the melted reactor core, they will not mutate in a year or two...
Obviously, the Arasaka Group used special means to carry out a "secondary transformation" on Zanji, turning him into this half-human, half-ghost appearance... As for Zanji's strength in his current state, Ke Lan estimated that it would only be higher than the original eighth-level cyborg.
Ke Lan tried to use the Alpha language to give Zhanci a "suicide" order, but nothing happened. The mutated Zhanci didn't even turn around to look at him.
It seems that the micro-bomb installed in Zhanci's brain had been dismantled by the heretic sect during the "second transformation"... After all, he has become a radioactive monster without self-awareness, and this device to prevent rebellion has no value in existence.
For Ke Lan, this will be a tough battle.
It is definitely not possible to kill this monster with just these two "Riot Terror" shotguns.
"By the way, what's your transformation level ?" Ke Lan looked at Victoria and asked.
"I...hiss...I'm not...hiss...a standard cyborg...hiss...can't be classified according to that level...hiss...hiss...if you calculate the combat power...I'm probably...level eight..." Victoria answered using her already broken voice device.
"That's going to be troublesome... There's a mutated level eight cyborg outside, and your current state is definitely much worse than your prime. As one increases while the other decreases, the gap in strength between you and it is probably not small..." Ke Lan pondered, "The explosion-proof door won't last long, and there is no other exit in this security room... The only window is less than ten meters away from the door, and you will definitely be discovered if you jump out..."
Ke Lan rubbed his forehead irritably and said, "That is to say, no matter what, we can't avoid fighting it."
"I'll hold it...hiss...you...hiss...go pick up those...the rebels'...hiss...weapons..." Victoria said.
"It seems that this is the only way." Ke Lan leaned against the window, staring intently at the explosion-proof door that had been severely deformed.
"Bang!" Another heavy blow, the crack on the explosion-proof door widened a little, and it seemed that the whole door was about to be torn apart...
"It looks like the next cut should be able to break the door..." Ke Lan thought to himself , while his hands quickly used a multi-purpose knife to remove the screws that fixed the iron fence.
"Crack...Swish!" As expected, when the heavy naginata fell again, the thick explosion-proof door was torn open like a piece of thin iron sheet. The next second, Zhanci, who was nearly two meters tall, rushed into the security room!
“Bang!”
Victoria pulled the trigger, and more than a dozen lead bullets hit Zhanci's body solidly. Although his armored prosthesis had been removed, the thick hyperplastic tissue blocked the bullets. The deepest of these bullets only penetrated a few centimeters and could not hurt Zhanci's body at all.
At the same time, Ke Lan had used the butt of his gun to smash the glass and metal mesh on the window and climbed directly out of the security room.
The security room was about two or three hundred meters away from where they had exchanged fire with the "Ranger" rebels. If Ke Lan wanted to get there, he first had to break through the encirclement formed by the radioactive monsters.
"So many--!" This was the first thought in Ke Lan's mind after he turned it over - just now when he and Victoria were escaping from the factory, they shot and killed nearly a hundred radioactive monsters, and now there are almost the same number of monsters surrounding the security room!
"So many radioactive monsters...how many people have been killed by the Arasaka Group as experimental materials..." Ke Lan sighed inwardly, but he also knew that now was not the time to mourn for these people...only by destroying the conspiracy of the Arasaka Group and the heretical sect could he avenge these people.
From a biological perspective, these radioactive monsters are indeed still alive, but from a human perspective, they are already dead. Rather than living in pain like this, it would be better to let them go...
Ke Lan did not feel any psychological burden in killing these former companions.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Ke Lan pulled the trigger continuously, and several radioactive monsters that crawled over were immediately repelled by the huge kinetic energy attached to the lead bullets. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he directly swallowed a concentrated stimulant tablet pressed under his tongue and rushed out at full speed from the gap in the encirclement!
