This is not the first time such an attack has occurred.

In the past few months, shortly after Homs returned from the northern continent, the first attacks took place near the bay.

At first, Holmes thought it was Chu Tianjiang's doing.

However, after a thorough survey of the site, Holmes denied this judgment.

The point is that if the attacker was Chu Tianjiang, he would have killed the people of the church, but he would not have disposed of the corpses, let alone the intact vehicles and other equipment. Obviously, the attacker was not Chu Tianjiang, and the people who attacked the patrol were not to cause trouble for the church, but only to deal with the modulators of the patrol.

After figuring out the situation, Holmes stopped taking the attack to heart.

There are three patriarchs here, and there is no more powerful existence in the Old Continent than the patriarch. If it was Chu Tianjiang, and he attacked the patriarch, Holmes could sense it at the first time. The loss of a few ordinary modulators has no effect on the church.

Of course, there is no need to make a big deal about it.

Perhaps, it was only some indigenous people who attacked the patrol, some locals who were dissatisfied with the church and did not want to be a side agent of the church.

It is also reasonable for these people to stand up and resist.

Although the south of the bay is the tropics, and the desert region in the south of the Old World, before the arrival of the Church, the bay was inhabited by many people, with dozens of fishing villages, a few small towns and a small city. These people were originally believers in the church, just to build this huge biochemical concoction field, and time was tight, the church did not relocate the local residents in the usual way, but destroyed the city in a very barbaric way, and then sent military forces to expel all the aborigines. The radical measures caused a revolt among the aborigines, and at least a small number of aborigines became traitors and began to rebel against the rule of the church.

In the past, Holmes would have sent military forces to eliminate the rebels.

Only now, Homs is not in such a mood.

Most of the rebels are ordinary people, and only a few have superpowers, and they are very ordinary superpowers, and they can't be opponents of the church at all. The most they could do was to attack the patrols on the periphery, and those who were far away from the camp and acted alone.

For a large church, the loss of a few modulators is nothing.

In fact, according to Feister's plan, after the fortress was built, all but the 200 million people who followed him would be abandoned.

"How?"

"Nothing was found." Lombardo is a patriarch who has lived for hundreds of years, just as old as Holmes. "The attackers were very cunning, erased all traces and left nothing. As usual, he just killed the patrol and didn't take any items. ”

"You'll have to adjust your patrol schedule."

Lombardo nodded, indicating that he understood what Holmes meant. Although such an attack is annoying, Lombardo's first task is to protect the biochemical modulation field in the bay, prevent others from entering the bay, and guard the ongoing concoction, and the rest is secondary.

"Perhaps, a large-scale sweep operation should be organized."

When Uma said this, Holmes and Lombador both looked at her.

"The attacker was clearly a modulator, at least with superpowers, and not too bad. If he is an aborigine, then he is a supernatural one born of natural evolution, so he is not under our mental control, and cannot even be perceived by our mental powers. Uma said expressionlessly, "This kind of existence can make the rebellious natives stronger, and it will also make them forget who is the master of this world." The frequency of attacks is increasing, and the methods of the attackers are becoming more sophisticated. If left unchecked, it will quickly spiral out of control. Either way, Fester doesn't want any accidents, and you can't afford to do that. ”

Holmes' facial muscles twitched a few times. Although Uma was just talking about things, her tone and attitude of speaking did not take the two elders into account at all. It seems that in this place, she is the real leader, and Holmes is nothing more than her little henchman.

Lombardo didn't take a stand, but looked at Holmes.

Because he didn't participate in the attack on the United Continent, he didn't know the strength of Ouma, and he couldn't sense the superpowers that Uma possessed. He only knew that Uma was sent directly by Fest, and he obeyed Homs, so he only obeyed Homs.

Besides, it was Holmes who concocted Lombardo and made him the patriarch of the church.

Holmes was angry and just acted calm. He knew that he didn't need to be angry with a woman, let alone with a person from Fester.

"Doctor?"

"Let's do it, organize a sweep. Of course, the premise is that the defense deployment cannot be affected, and there must be no accidents until the modulation is completed. ”

Lombardo nodded, indicating that he understood what Holmes meant.

Holmes didn't say anything more, and flew straight north, with Uma following him.

Come to the bay, just determine the progress of the construction of the fort. Holmes didn't expect an attack, nor did he expect Uma to come forward and accuse him.

It was an unpleasant experience.

Of course, it doesn't matter. The fortress is about to be built, and in order to go into space, to reach the transfer orbit, one more important thing needs to be done.

Lombardo faithfully carried out the orders given by Holmes.

After Homs left, Lombard gathered his main men and gave them the task of sweeping up the Indigenous Resistance.

Dealing with a group of aborigines is not a problem at all.

In fact, Lombard had wanted to do this for a long time, but he never got Holmes' permission. In any case, it is better to stay in the bay and wait for the enemy to come and find trouble, so it is better to deal with the enemy directly. At least in Lombardo's understanding, this kind of initiative makes more sense.

It's just that Lombard doesn't know what to do, and it's not the aborigines who attack the patrol.

Of course, Homs and Uma didn't know what to do, otherwise they wouldn't have let Lombador arrange a sweep.

The attacker was not a group of people, but a person, a modulator who was no longer considered a human being, an uncontrolled modulator. He was Gramm, the guy who was concocted by Holmes himself to deal with Chu Tianjiang and survived under Chu Tianjiang.

It can be said that the existence of Gram was completely accidental.

Because Chu Tianjiang is an energy person with strong spiritual power, and he has a spiritual control power no less than that of the church patriarch Iska, so it is almost impossible to use the church's modulator to deal with Chu Tianjiang, even the patriarch may not be able to kill Chu Tianjiang. As for the modulators under the patriarch, they were controlled by the spiritual power, and it was impossible for them to even pose a threat to Chu Tianjiang.

To put it bluntly, a strong mental control can make all the modulators become puppets in front of Chu Tianjiang.

After the battle at the temple, Holmes did special research and came up with some experiments, that is, modulators who were not controlled by mental power.

However, the existence of such a modulator is also a great threat to the church.

That is, they are not under the control of the Patriarch, and even if their superpowers are not as good as those of the Patriarch, they may pose a threat to the Church if they lose control.

It was precisely for this reason that Holmes could not have concocted such experiments in large quantities.

More importantly, some special methods must be used to limit the development and growth of these experiments, so that they will not cause too much trouble if they get out of control. The main method is to make these experimental subjects infertile, so that they cannot reproduce naturally.

In the church, ordinary concoctors have the ability to reproduce.

In fact, most of the modulators are indistinguishable from ordinary people without changing their bodies, and they are also the same as ordinary people in the way of reproduction. If the subject has the ability to reproduce offspring and loses control, there is a high probability that a large number of offspring will be produced. Even if the test subjects are all male, it is possible that their offspring will inherit half of their father's genes and thus gain some of their father's superpowers. What's more, this natural reproduction has a high probability of producing more powerful offspring, thus posing a serious threat to the very existence of the church. Without the ability to reproduce, the population size of the subject will not expand after it gets out of control, and it will not be too much of a problem.

The problem is that Homs grossly underestimates the viability of living things.

After depriving the subject of fertility, Holmes gave the subject a more powerful ability, that is, a powerful regenerative ability, and by absorbing the bodies of other modulators, the damaged organs and tissues were regenerated, and thus the superpowers of other modulators were obtained.

Of course, Holmes was quick to spot this flaw and make up for it.

The problem is that Holmes didn't notice this problem until the first test pieces were made, so the first test pieces all had super regenerative powers.

It can be said that this is also the most powerful superpower of the first batch of experiments.

Graham was one of the first experiments, and the only survivor. All three of his team members died at the hands of Chu Tianjiang. The first test subjects that were sent elsewhere were secretly disposed of after Holmes discovered their ability to regenerate.

Graham survived, and he's getting stronger.

Killing Chu Tianjiang was still the main motivation for him to live, but what happened in the past few months made him realize that in addition to Chu Tianjiang, he also had other enemies, including the one who used him as an experimental subject, turned him into a monster, and took all his brothers to death. If it weren't for Homs, he wouldn't be what he is now, and his brother who lived and died with him wouldn't have died tragically on the northern continent.

Damn it, it's not just Chu Tianjiang.
