Volume 4: Shadows Under the Neon Lights Chapter 216 Detonation Procedure
Although Iran and Nizo are both stronger level eight cyborgs, their attack methods are mainly close combat. While keeping a distance, the threat they pose is actually lower than that of the level seven Huo Men.
There are more things to guard against than just projectiles and firearms. According to the description in the information, Huomen is also particularly good at setting booby traps. If you accidentally step on something, it would be a luxury to even leave your body intact.
Ke Lan had thought about detonating the miniature bomb installed in the opponent's brain, but Victoria was right next to him. If he rashly used the "password", it would be difficult to hide it from her eyes... Moreover, after Gun Zuo died, Ke Lan could not guarantee that the Arasaka Group would not modify the content of the password for detonating the bomb...
But just as he was thinking this, two extremely fast figures rushed out from behind the corner, and almost in the blink of an eye they had already rushed in front of Victoria - the one rushing in the front was a warrior holding two thermal blades, one long and one short, and the two blades cut across Victoria's waist and abdomen like scissors, and behind him, the swordsman holding an astonishingly long wild sword in both hands jumped high, and the blade drew a dazzling arc in front of him, heading straight for Victoria's throat!
The two of them seemed to have cooperated with each other countless times, and their tacit understanding almost blocked all of Victoria's space for counterattack. She had no choice but to retreat.
However, her prosthesis had suffered considerable damage in the radiation environment just now. She was a little slow in retreating, and her entire right arm was cut off by the wild sword. The longer of the two thermal blades even opened an extremely exaggerated gash in her abdomen!
Fortunately, the high temperature of the thermal blade sintered the wound the moment the abdomen was cut, so that the internal organs and intestines did not roll out directly from the stomach. However, despite this, such injuries are still fatal to humans.
"Die! All of you die!" Ke Lan didn't care about anything else at this moment, and shouted at the two of them in the language of Alpha civilization.
The Arasaka Group did not change the password, and the next second, the two advanced cyborgs fell headfirst to the ground. Their deaths were almost exactly the same as Gunzuo's. One of them was even pierced through the body by his own weapon when he fell.
"Hey! Are you still alive? Hello?!" After confirming the death of the Six Samurai, Ke Lan immediately ran to Victoria and turned her body over - but when Ke Lan saw the wound on her abdomen, she stopped reaching for the first aid kit: the thermal blade's ability to destruct biological tissue far exceeded Ke Lan's expectations. Victoria's abdominal cavity was now a mess. If Ke Lan performed debridement and bandage at this moment, she would die from heavy bleeding.
“…hiss…still alive…hiss…” Victoria raised her head with some difficulty, trying to check her injuries.
"Don't look at it. The entire abdominal cavity has been burned... I guess she'll need organ reconstruction, or just replace the torso with a cyborg prosthesis... Of course, the prerequisite is that you have to hold on until you are rescued." Ke Lan took out the first aid kit anyway, and after rummaging around in it for a while, she found that, apart from the painkiller injection, there was nothing in it that could help Victoria now.
"The wound must be kept in a sterile environment... to prevent the possibility of infection..." Ke Lan raised his head and looked around. Then, wherever he looked, he saw only traces of thermite burns and smelly rotten flesh covering the entire space. He couldn't help but curse, "Sterile... sterile bullshit! I can't pour the whole bottle of medical alcohol into your stomach to disinfect it, can I?"
"Hiss... in the dark groove of my right...hiss...calf...hiss...there is...a...drug..."
"Are you talking about this?" Following Victoria's instructions, Ke Lan quickly found the potion she mentioned.
"Yes...hiss...directly...hiss...inject into the muscle."
Ke Lan looked at the small bottle used to contain the medicine. There was no label on it, but since Victoria asked him to inject it directly, it must be something she prepared to save her life.
Without saying a word, Ke Lan directly pulled out the protective cover and inserted the needle into the relatively intact skin next to .
Less than ten seconds after the injection, Victoria stood up on her own. Ke Lan couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise: "What kind of panacea is this? It can actually bring the dead back to life?"
"This...hiss...is not...a medicine...hiss...it's a kind of blocker...it can...hiss...including the heart and lungs...hiss...most of my vital organs...are part of the prosthesis...hiss..."
"You mean you used drugs to block the connection between the prosthesis and the biological body? The brain relies on an artificial respiratory system to supply oxygen? But... without the support of the biological body, relying solely on prosthetic organs to survive will not last long!" Ke Lan said in surprise.
This method can certainly minimize the impact of the injury in a short period of time, but doing so is equivalent to completely abandoning all parts of the organism except the brain. Doing so is equivalent to performing a biochemical transformation operation of more than level ten... The survival rate is almost zero.
"But at least... hiss... I can still have... hiss... a few hours of activity time... This is my mission... hiss... I must... complete it..." Victoria picked up the broken arm and gun on the ground, but when her eyes swept over the bodies of the Six Samurai, she was slightly stunned.
"You... killed... hiss... them? How... did you do it?"
"A virus program can send out a forged instruction to detonate the miniature bomb in their brain. I killed Qian Zuo in this way before. I thought the Arasaka Group would fix this loophole... But when they discovered this problem, there were probably no living programmers inside the Arasaka Group." Ke Lan said.
In fact, the detonation program is not something that an ordinary programmer can write - just how to recognize the language of the Alpha civilization is not something that human computer programs can do. Ke Lan estimates that the detonation device of this bomb was most likely dug out from the ruins of the Alpha people.
"Virus... program?" Victoria looked at Ke Lan in disbelief. The Six Warriors had miniature bombs in their brains, which the Security Bureau must know. They would certainly arrange for the best hackers to crack the detonation program. As for the result, there was no need to think about it. If the program that could recognize the Alpha language could be cracked by hackers, then the Alpha text could have been compiled into computer language long ago...
