Chapter 170 Human Blood
Although Mu Fei is also a superhuman, his superhuman ability is an enhancement type, which enhances the brain, making his body more vulnerable compared to ordinary superhumans.
For this reason, the base provided him with several protective storage rings.
But if Lu Yize hadn't protected him in time during that explosion, the defensive storage ring probably wouldn't have been able to react in time, and he would still have been injured.
Xian Wenrui thoughtfully stepped forward to comfort him, "It's okay, my previous inventions also went crazy and exploded. New things always have some uncertainty."
Fan Jian nodded in agreement, "Yeah, the time he bombed was much more brutal than yours. Our base lab was completely destroyed. At least you didn't suffer any damage."
Mu Fei stared intently at his hands. Although Lu Yize had managed to isolate most of the energy in time, a small amount of residual heat was still being transferred, causing his hands to tremble slightly.
"Captain, what's wrong?" Mu Fei's subordinate asked curiously when he saw Mu Fei looking deep in thought.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking about something." Mu Fei withdrew his hand.
Although Mu Fei's invention was destroyed, everyone present could clearly sense with their own bodies that the temperature inside the base was constantly rising.
"This awful weather, so unpredictable, it's a miracle anyone isn't having a mental breakdown." Fan Jian, who is both sensitive to the cold and heat, unbuttoned his shirt and tugged at it.
"Did the tree canopy that Zheng Lin created with his superpower wither from the sun? I doubt it will last much longer." Xian Wenrui was also hot, sweating profusely, his entire back soaked with sweat.
As a zombie, Jiang Yue was more afraid of heat than anyone else present. The ice that Fan Jian had conjured with his superpowers had gradually melted, and Jiang Yue was hugging the ice bucket that was starting to heat up, leaning her head against the bucket.
Seeing that her skin was turning bluish-black and the veins were becoming more and more prominent due to the heat, Lu Yize knew that she had reached her limit and used his supernatural ability to shield her from most of the heat.
"Let's go inside and discuss how to infiltrate that lab." Chen Mingzhang was dressed very conservatively, without a trace of dishevelment.
Fan Jian glanced at him enviously, then nudged Xian Wenrui's hand with his elbow, "Fourth-tier is great, you're not afraid of the heat. If we improve our abilities as soon as possible, we'll probably be able to withstand this insane temperature."
If Xian Wenrui didn't know his temper, he would have thought he was in Versailles. "Easy for you to say. Advancing isn't that easy. I'm still stuck at level one!"
"Hey, it's okay, almost there, just a little bit more, give it a push, it'll be over in no time."
"As if you know everything."
Xian Wenrui and Fan Jian were bickering, and Zhang Wenjing pushed Sheng Xue to follow behind them. Sheng Xue looked down at her legs, her eyes darting around.
"Fan Jian has good talent, but I didn't expect him to advance so quickly."
Zhang Wenjing was somewhat envious. She wanted to improve her strength as soon as possible so that she could find those people and avenge her sister.
Sheng Xue silently clenched the hem of her skirt, then gradually loosened it. "Take it slow, you can't rush the advancement."
"We can't rush it." Zhang Wenjing knew this better than anyone else.
After Lu Yize shielded Jiang Yue from the heat, Jiang Yue finally stopped hugging the ice bucket, but she looked listless and uninterested.
Su Xuan was still standing next to her, fanning her with concern. She knew that zombies were far less heat-resistant than humans and their heat dissipation was not as strong. Right now, they were probably burning with fire inside their bodies, running around everywhere.
"Yueyue, is this any cooler?"
Su Xuan had followed them out again at some point and was now cautiously staying by Jiang Yue's side.
Jiang Yue didn't even lift her eyelids, not taking the other person seriously. The moment she saw Lu Yize, Jiang Yue immediately stood up, crossed the crowd, and ran to Lu Yize's side.
Seeing her follow him, Lu Yize went inside. Su Xuan watched the two figures leave from behind and sighed silently once again.
After entering the conference room that Chen Mingzhang had specially built, Lu Yize sat in the seat that Fan Jian and the others had specially reserved for him.
After everyone arrived, the Fifth District Captain, who had been relatively unknown and stood next to Chen Mingzhang, stepped forward and used his special ability to display a scaled-down map of Lincheng on the black wall.
"Based on our analysis of those dead creatures, we can roughly deduce that their experiment combined the human's superhuman core with the crystal core of the alien beast, and then placed it in the human's brain."
"However, it is obvious that the failure rate is extremely high. These should be called failures. They have no self-awareness and follow the commands of higher-level authorities. As for successes, so far, the only one we have come into contact with is Sun Jianbai."
The fifth squad leader swept his hand across the black wall, and the next moment, Sun Jianbai's photo appeared on the wall, exactly as pictured.
"Sun Jianbai, male, 24 years old, was once a first-level ability user in the central base. Later, his ability core was shattered and he was besieged by zombies. When he reappeared, his ability core had disappeared, and a crystal core and a third-level experimental subject of the ability core appeared in his brain."
"These failed fusions also achieved rapid improvement in their abilities in a short period of time. Although they also reached the third-tier strength, unlike Sun Jianbai, these people lacked the ability to think independently."
The fire-type ability user who had been rescued came to listen to the proceedings, his body bandaged and covered in wounds.
His expression turned somewhat solemn when he saw those faces fused with the alien beasts.
"These people who died tragically were all first-level ability users in our base. They were killed on the spot. I'm sure they had already lost vital signs at that time."
Although we hadn't known each other for long, didn't know many people, and didn't have any deep feelings for each other, I still felt resentful seeing them suffer after their tragic deaths.
Upon hearing this, the Fifth Squad Leader displayed images of the remaining individuals on the black wall. "Just as he said, all of these people are dead. According to the psychic ability user assessment, their memories are all stuck at the moment of their death."
"Any actions they take afterward are merely manipulations, somewhat similar to the manipulation abilities you encountered before. These people are puppets, of course, this manipulation technique is far more powerful than the ability of that second-tier zombie."
"The only one who has memories of his previous life is Sun Jianbai, whose fusion effect is the best. Based on his memories, it can be inferred that all his actions were based on his subjective will."
Lei Yangyu, who was closest to Sun Jianbai, looked grim, probably unable to understand how the person who was willing to die to escort them away could join such an inhumane organization.
The fifth squad leader then touched Sun Jianbai's portrait, touching his forehead. The portrait enlarged, gradually revealing its magnificent yet terrifying finished product.
"This is a connector between the superpower core and the crystal core. It is not possible to speculate on how they are bonded together at the moment."
After speaking, the fifth squad leader paused, raised his eyes and scanned everyone present, not missing any of their expressions, "When we were testing the components, we detected—human blood."
