Chapter 20 Follow-up Tasks
Alex explained a few words to Lagrande, looked at Dana who had not yet woken up and left, and threatened Ma Le when he left, warning him not to be nosy, but he was not interested in Ma Le's identity and ability, perhaps in his eyes, one or two more prototypes were not a big deal.

For the first time, Ma Le also saw another important character throughout the two games of Torture and Killing, Dana Mercer in a coma, and Alex Mercer's sister. In the early and middle stages of the first part, the girl was Alex's main connector, and most of the assignments were received from her. However, according to the plot, Alex should already know that he is just a prototype of the virus and has no brother-sister relationship with Dana, but even so, the dominant Alex personality in his body still makes him subconsciously care about Dana's safety.
Speaking of this archetypal Alex, it can be said that it is an out-and-out tragic character, although his appearance is similar to the dead scientist Alex, but the essence is still a virus, just like Ma Le's absorption ability, every time he absorbs a creature, he will obtain the appearance and part of the memory of the absorbed, and the corpse of the human Alex is equivalent to the creature absorbed by this prototype for the first time, because it was originally a virus, and there was no personality and appearance, so he simply chose Alex as the original blueprint. However, the memories and personality that the archetype obtained from Alex are incomplete, and although he behaves like an ordinary adult, he acts like a precocious child, willful and unassertive, but innocent and kind. It is this kindness that made Alex, the prototype who had just been born for eighteen days, at the end of the first part, in order to protect Manhattan and protect those humans who have always been hostile to him, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his life to transport the nuclear bomb away, and was almost killed by the nuclear explosion.
However, as the prototype absorbed more and more humans, his personality became richer and more perfect, and the initial kindness was gradually replaced by the memory of thousands of hatreds, which led to the blackening of Alex in the second generation. This former hero has finally become the ultimate boss who tries to replace humans with evolutionary forms and create a new world.
Of course, those things have nothing to do with Ma Le, who can leave in two days, and now Alex ignores him, after all, the next plot should be against Elizabeth and the King of Hunting, two heavyweight bosses, Ma Le doesn't want to be involved in such a terrifying incident.
Dr. Lagronde put aside any doubts about Ma Le's body for the time being, and began to study the information on the CD. Marle didn't know if the side quest was completed, but Grande gave him a new quest after browsing some of the CD's contents.
"Anderson, the research mentioned on this CD is about mutant creatures, but I only have a small number of zombie samples at hand, and I need some hunters' blood samples to experiment to test the theory. But Alex is gone, and I can't reach him...... If you can, can you try to get some Hunter's blood samples! ”
When Ma Le heard that he wanted the blood sample of the hunter, he was immediately happy, and said in his heart, I really have what do you want, and reached out to take out the blood sample that fell when the first hunter was exploded before and handed it to Lagronde.
Where did Grande think that Marle would carry this thing with him! Surprised, he didn't ask the source, and directly started researching, and at the same time issued a second task: more samples of different zombies are needed to make comparisons!
This makes Ma Le wonder, zombies are zombies, are there any different types?
As Lagronde slowed down and patiently explained, Ma Le finally understood what he meant. Although there are thousands of zombies in the infected area, if you carefully distinguish them, you will find that they also have individual differences, some zombies basically retain the appearance characteristics of their lives, while some have bloated and disgusting sarcomas, some have evolved tentacle sickle-like tissues, and some are emaciated like dried corpses...... These are the result of the random mutation of the black light virus in different individuals. But when manipulating Alex in the game, no matter how strange these zombies are, they are all scum that kills one with one punch and one with one knife, so Ma Le has never considered that these zombies still have this kind of doorway......
In short, Lagronde's request is that ordinary humanoid zombies are not needed, and the more strangely shaped zombies the better, and collect at least ten blood samples as a comparative test.
Ma Le sighed, he didn't expect to return to the infected area so soon, and he hadn't rested enough...... But thinking of the four-fold difficulty reward, Ma Le still gritted his teeth and agreed to Lagronde's request, and immediately left, the opportunity must not be lost, and he must become strong in this world as soon as possible!
Ma Le returned to Chinatown, first went back to Anderson's house, found a large hiking bag, put the crossbow and arrow in it, pinned the pistol to his belt, prepared to stop and go out, found a bar and went in to order a draft beer, and quietly observed the situation.
Lauren, a girl in the gun shop, told Ma Le that someone in Chinatown knows how to sneak into the infected area, but Chinatown is so big, Ma Le doesn't know where to start, so he just goes to the bar according to the movie play, and the general actor doesn't ask for gossip from here.
Ma Le kept an eye on his surroundings and took a sip of beer from time to time, but when he saw the bottom of the beer, he didn't see any suspicious guys talking to each other, all of them were drunk and dreaming of death in despair of the world.
"One more stab!" Ma Le shouted to the bartender.
The bartender handed over a bunch of beer, looked around, lowered his head and whispered to Ma Le: "Sir, are you here to find a way, do you want to go to Baoshan?" ”
Ma Le didn't understand his black words, but he vaguely felt that he seemed to have found a breakthrough, and grabbed the bartender's hand and said, "What way...... Child? I want to go to the infected area, do you have a way? ”
The bartender glanced at Ma Le with the eyes of the dirt bun, and said in a low voice: "I have already seen it, carrying a suspicious big bag, looking around nervously, I must want to go to Baoshan...... People in the infected area. Sir, you can't find a way here, and those who want to go to the infected area are desperate outlaws, and where do you still have spare money to drink? ”
"Where can I find my way?" Ma Le hurriedly asked.
The bartender smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand and gestured in front of Ma Le, Ma Le understood, took out a hundred dollars and stuffed it into his hand, the bartender happily put the banknote in front of his mouth and kissed it, put it in his pocket, and whispered to Ma Le: "I heard that at the seafood restaurant on Front Street, Scar David is recruiting people, and he plans to form a team to enter the infected area to pan for gold, you can go and inquire." ”
Ma Le thanked him, drank the whole beer, left the wine money, and left the bar. The bartender looked at Ma Le's back, smiled and said to himself: "Today is really my lucky day, a well-known piece of news can be exchanged for a hundred dollars!" ”
Ma Le soon came to the seafood restaurant, which seemed to be still open, he asked the boss, the boss pointed to the back door, Ma Le went around to the back of the seafood restaurant, and finally saw the legendary Scar David.
This is a man of small stature, but very stout. True to his nickname, Scar David has an exaggerated scar on his face that stretches from the door of his head to his chin, and there are stitches on his lips. He wears an old-fashioned leather jacket with a crewneck T-shirt underneath, and his exposed wrists and neckline are covered with tattoos.
David was sitting on the lid of a trash can, and there were six or seven people standing next to him, all of whom were supposed to have been called. One of the black men with a shaved head first noticed Ma Le and came up to demonstrate, "Who the are you?" After speaking, he found the big backpack behind Ma Le, raised his eyebrows and said, "You are also here to join the gang?" ”
Ma Le didn't pay attention to him at all, walked directly to Scar David, bowed slightly and smiled sincerely: "I heard that Scar Boss is recruiting, I also want to go to the infection area, I hope to join the boss's team!" ”
Before Scar David could say anything, the black man who was hanging aside by Ma Le stopped doing it first, rushed up and wrapped his arms around Ma Le's neck to try to knock him down. But now Ma Le has more than a thousand pounds of strength, reaching out and pinching the black man's wrist, the black man screamed and let go of his arm, Ma Le turned around and took out a pistol and pointed it at the black man's head, but he heard a burst of gunfire behind him, and three guns were against him.
Ma Le smiled, raised his hands, the black man was let go by Ma Le, glared back at him viciously, raised his fist to vent his anger, but Ma Le raised his leg and kicked him out before he punched, and his upper body still didn't move.
"Hahahaha......" There was a hoarse laugh behind him, and the muzzle of the gun against Ma Le was taken away. Ma Le turned around, and the scar David stepped forward and gave him a warm hug: "Welcome to my team, my friend, I don't know what you call it yet?" ”
Ma Le laughed and replied, "Call me Anderson!" ”
"Very well, Anderson, we need a strong partner like you for this operation!" David patted Ma Le's shoulder and said, "Come, let me introduce you, these are all ruthless characters we screened!" ”
As he spoke, David introduced the names and specialties of several other people one by one, and Ma Le roughly remembered that he had the impression that there was only a woman of South American descent and a white man with a beard.
The woman of South American descent was called Isha, and she looked to be in her twenties, slim, and neatly dressed. Ma Le remembered her because she was the only one present who didn't have a gun, and the two short knives pinned to her waist were probably her only weapons. There is no martial arts and magic in the worldview of the original form of torture and killing, and fighting with zombies is the most taboo to be close to the body, this woman's short knife can also be favored by David, her melee fighting ability must be very amazing.
The bearded white man's name was Francon, he was a little short and stocky, and he had a shotgun in his hand. Ma Le remembered him because of his age, the beard was gray, and he looked at least sixty years away.
By the way, there is also the black man who was cleaned up by Ma Le, his name is Johnny, this thing has been staring at Ma Le viciously, but Ma Le doesn't care, he can enter the infected area The purpose is achieved, and when the time comes, the sky is high and the birds can fly, what threat can an ordinary person have.
Counting Ma Le's joining, there were a total of ten people, David felt that the manpower was about the same, and seeing that the sky had turned dark, he decided to start acting, and the group began to march towards the infected area.
