Volume 4: Swan Song (Remastered) Chapter 34: The New Member of the Snake (2)
Taking a few steps back, away from the professor's fanatical face, the new Fourth Apostle asked Hoffman, "Now, I think you can tell me some more information about the organization, right?" I don't want to be like a fool who doesn't know anything! ”
"White noodles will show you how to do it! I have other jobs, so I won't be with them anymore! Except for a few labs that are still in use, you can walk around the camp as you please, but of course, I can't guarantee safety, and God knows which experiment will produce an amazing reaction in the next second! ”
The professor had no interest in teaching the newcomers, leaving the two of them alone and leaving the lab on their own, only the sound of banging from the lead room echoing in Aredes' ears.
"Let's talk as we go!" Hoffman led Arides, who was still in a state of confusion, out of the lab and took the elevator to the roof of a certain laboratory building, from which he could overlook the entire camp.
"This is the experimental base you set up for this purpose? Those guards won't be ...... too."
Hoffman stretched out his hand and pointed to the entire camp in front of him: "You can call this a box garden, those guards are a byproduct of some previous low-intensity experiments, a small amount of physical enhancement will not make them produce significant mutations, but it can significantly improve their combat ability." A few months ago, they were just the most ordinary soldiers of a certain country, without any characteristics, but now, each of them can rival the world's most elite special forces, even faster, stronger, and of course, more obedient to orders! ”
"Terrible technology!"
"Some information about the Snake of the Body Eater can't be explained by mouth alone, your ring is embedded with a special substance, he can be used as a beacon, when you use the ring to enter that world, it will automatically guide you to the special space where the apostles usually gather, where you can freely access some information about the organization."
"I've never heard of anyone inventing such a technology, and this is what you parsing from that world?"
"Strictly speaking, it's some superficial use of this thing." Hoffman showed the personal terminal on his finger that he used to enter the world of Entagre, the ring, "As for more, you'll know it when you look up the information, I can only say that this organization is more mysterious than you think." ”
"Well, I've got a preliminary understanding!" Aredes had to admit that this organization, called the Snake of Death, was definitely not comparable to the bankers and misers of Rothschild, and it was several notches worse than in terms of force. The Snake of the Human Body Eater is already researching how to sublimate the human life form, while the family is still struggling with the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Chinese yuan.
Despise it!
"By the way, since you've joined us, you'd better come up with a proper codename, or you'll be used by some nasty mad scientist to practice your inferior literary skills like me."
"White noodles?"
"Doesn't sound like a good name, does it?"
"Indeed!"
"Right! I'll just say that the guy's taste in naming is really bad. ”
"What about the others?"
"Professor, you've already seen him, he's the Seventh Apostle, the First Apostle Earl, the Sixth Apostle Death Knight, and until now, with you, there are still two empty seats. Our conditions for accepting people are very high! ”
Aredes couldn't help but feel a little proud, people are actually so strange, as long as they know that they are superior to others in a certain aspect, they will have an inexplicable sense of pride, and in order to continue to maintain this sense of superiority, they will continue to work towards this aspect, even if they know that it is not their favorite direction.
"There are four camps like this, and the White family has spent more than two billion dollars on them, and I am responsible for this, including staffing these camps with enough people and providing suitable test subjects for the professor's research. The Count is responsible for managing the organization's relations with the intelligence agencies of various countries, as well as monitoring the better players. Professor, as you can see, he's in charge of research, and I'm not even sure what it's going on. ”
"What about the Sixth Apostle Death Knight? It doesn't sound like a good name. "Arides was very curious about the Eater Serpent, and he was eager to know how the organization worked.
Hoffman shrugged, this was about to become his signature move: "I don't know, that guy is said to be a mercenary, the undisclosed kind, responsible for laying some foundation for the organization in that world, in addition, including handling some special orders. ”
The so-called undisclosed mercenaries, in fact, means killers, Arides is no stranger to this, in today's world, the continuous development of science and technology and the strict social control system doomed mercenaries to only do some work like security guards, so they also need to be recognized by various countries to open their identities, as for those undisclosed mercenaries, they are naturally those who deal with some shady things for those rich or powerful.
"Special order? For example, that relative of yours? ”
Trau White's bizarre death is about to become an unsolved case, and the murder has made the German police and intelligence services a laughing stock in the eyes of the world, and Aredes is clearly aware of it. And now from Hoffman's mouth, the reason why this heir of the White family was able to defeat those competitors and become the current head of the White family was actually behind the help of another apostle, how could he be indifferent to this.
"There's a chance you'll run into him, a guy with a dark mind, I don't like him anyway!" Hoffman still remembers the feeling when Yu Bin put the dagger across his neck, and he never felt that death was so close to him.
"Alright! So what do I do? You didn't invite me in for free, did you? If that's the case, I'll have to consider whether it's time to move out of my villa. ”
"Actually, there are things that need to be done!" Hoffman invited Arides to join the Eater Serpent, on the one hand, it was naturally to increase the strength of the White family against the Rothschilds, but the reason why the other apostles agreed to the candidate he recommended naturally had other purposes, "As you can see, the White family's main strength is now focused on the establishment of camps around the world for the organization, although there is no problem in terms of funding, but there is no way to take care of other areas. The Earl wants you to monitor the Rothschilds' movements for the organization, and now in this world, only an ancient existence like your White Rose family has not been controlled by those financial nouveau riche. ”
This was not unexpected by Arrydes: "No problem, although the Justos family is not as rich as those loan sharks, we are not much worse than them in terms of influence in the dark world. ”
"Besides, I personally hope that you can help me share the cost of setting up the camp, to meet the requirements of the professor and the earl, the cost of building each camp, plus the recruitment of personnel, is not a small amount, I have been dreaming about how to make money these nights. Believe me, if kidnapping the German Chancellor can get me a lot of money, I will definitely not hesitate to do it! ”
"How much do you need? Billion? Or 20 billion? ”
"French influence in West Africa and Southeast Asia has not disappeared to this day, and I hope that you will take on the task of setting up camps in those places, and I will put together a list of specific locations and lists for you as soon as possible. First of all, this is not a small amount, tens of billions may only be the first investment. ”
Aredes didn't care, and said with a smile: "If you want to gain, you must pay first!" I get it! Although it is my grandfather who is now at the helm of the Coxos family, it is only a small investment, and it will not make much of a difference. ”
"Finally, it was the insidious guy who made the request." Hoffman pulled out a memory card from the pocket of his clothes, "Here's a list, and that guy wants you to use the most stealthy means to control these people on the list, and if you can, send them to the designated camp as much as possible, but not to make people suspicious." ”
"Is this a test of my abilities? Hmph, I'll prove it to him! "Young people, especially young people like Aredes, naturally have a self-sacrificing mentality in their bodies, and the last thing they can stand is that others question their abilities, and the better they are, the more they want to prove themselves." And what about the professor? What does he ask for? ”
Hoffman thought about it for a moment, not knowing whether to say it or not, but finally decided to tell Aredes about the professor's request: "Quite simply, the professor likes toys that are sturdy, durable, and not easily broken, like the one you just saw!" To be honest, it's hard for me to understand my professor's fetishes, and it's been getting harder and harder lately to find the right target. ”
"What do you think of the mercenaries? A group of mercenaries who have just returned from the Middle East. ”
"Cultivated by your White Rose family?"
"A bunch of slaves, if only half, nay, a quarter of them could be strengthened like the guards in this camp, I'd be satisfied."
"I'll tell the professor about it, and I'm sure he won't turn down the deal."
While the two were talking, a small two-story building not far away suddenly exploded, and the light of fire and smoke enveloped a corner of the house, and Arides could see a guy in prison uniform coming out of the gap that had been blown open.
Completely different from the Seventy-seventh test subject I saw in the laboratory before, the guy in front of him has completely turned into an inhuman existence, and the two arms thicker than the elephant's legs are full of bulging ball-like muscles, or the entire upper body is actually like this, and it is no longer possible to distinguish where the arms are and where the shoulders are, but the lower body has not produced obvious mutations, and is still an ordinary human appearance.
It could be seen that the whole strange test subject had little reason left, and although the explosion broke the wall, he did not leave anywhere as fast as he could, and after getting out of the gap, he just looked around blankly.
"Do you need to warn the guards?" Aredes felt that as the new apostle of the Eater of Bodies, it was necessary for him to provide some help in the interests of the organization, and if this guy, who could tell at a glance that he was a certain test subject, escaped from this camp like this, it would obviously be a big trouble for the Eater of Bodies.
"There's no need, you can just watch the strength of those guards, but we'd better find a suitable auditorium, stray bullets are not popcorn in the movie theater!"
The guards at this camp were very quick to react to this kind of experimental incident, and before the two of them could find a suitable viewing position, a team of four people had already surrounded the strange test subject.
Two researchers walked out of the gate of the building where the explosion occurred, looking like Asian faces: "Be careful not to cause fatal injuries, this thing will have to be tested for survivability next!" I don't want to repeat the catalytic experiment, do you know how much it costs? ”
Obviously, none of the guys who can enter here are normal people, and these two Asian-faced researchers, like professors, don't care about the lives of so-called ordinary people at all.
Hearing the request, the four guards immediately lowered their weapons and took off their shirts, revealing the muscles underneath the clothes that were strong enough to compete in bodybuilding competitions.
Perhaps sensing the hostility of the other party, the strange test subject let out a loud roar at them and ran towards one of the guards, and Ariedus quickly noticed the shortcomings of this test subject, his upper body may have been strengthened, but the lower body remained at the level of ordinary people, so it was simply unable to support the heavy body for fast running, resulting in a very slow speed.
Despite this, in order to subdue the subject without causing fatal injuries, the four guards paid the price of two deaths, and the subject tied up with special props was eventually thrown onto a cargo cart, which was pushed by two researchers into the building.
As for the two surviving guards, they only hastily picked up the two dead bodies and left here.
"You suppressed their feelings?" The fact that the guards didn't care about their lives in the battle made Arides immediately realize that these guys were probably completely erased emotionally, which was too cruel for a human being, but for those wealthy people who wanted to have a strong and perfect bodyguard, these guards were undoubtedly the most suitable candidates.
"A little bit of mental cue plus memory modifications, maybe a little surgery on the brain, we don't need these guys to be very intelligent anyway, do we?"
"I've changed my mind, I'll send two hundred mercenaries over in a week, and how about fifty guards for me?"
"You can increase the ratio a little bit more, the success rate of this slight reinforcement is high, and I think one hundred and twenty is an appropriate number."
A bright light appeared in Aredes' eyes: "The extra seventy, after selling it, you will get half of the proceeds, I think you must need something to stop the mouths of those old guys in the White family." ”
"Deal! Happy working together! ”
