The iron gate was opened by two guards, and at their signal, Qi Lin walked forward along a long and dark corridor.

As for the large box of weapons, he casually selected a sharp short knife more than twenty centimeters long, and the handle of the short knife was wrapped in an insulating material similar to Bakelite - although Qi Lin still didn't know what abilities the new transformer who killed Gamma-level Basaka possessed, and the executive officer did not mention any information about this in the conversation, but he passed a small note between the pass and the ticket through the iceberg female assistant, and passed it to Qi Lin.

There was only one word on the note – "electricity".

"It should be a special ability like electric shock...... Qi Lin looked at the pitch-black hilt in his hand, and even the blade was wrapped with insulating material, which obviously coincided with the information revealed to him by the executive.

But is it really useful?

The so-called insulating material is just that the resistance is greater than that of ordinary things, and in any case, there will be an upper limit to its blocking ability...... Just like a person with rubber gloves who touches a high-voltage power line will still get an electric shock.

In the heat of battle, once the hilt is wet with sweat or blood, then its insulation ability will become even worse.

However, even so, the organization would not provide Qi Lin with weapons such as firearms.

Not to mention that guns will turn the originally bloody and fierce gladiatorial fight into a kite battle chasing each other, and one of the biggest reasons for this is the problem of lethality.

In the hands of ordinary people, the lethality of firearms is much greater than that of cold weapons, but not necessarily in the hands of evolutionaries.

In addition to the structure of the warhead and other factors, its direct lethality mainly comes from the kinetic energy attached to the warhead, and this kinetic energy comes from the firing pin hitting the primer, and the bottom fire ignites the internal charge of the bullet when it ignites, thereby generating high-pressure gas, and then this high-pressure gas pushes the warhead out of the chamber.

But whether it is the structure of the warhead or the power of the gunpowder, the moment the trigger is pulled and the bullet is discharged, the lethality of the gun has been fixed, and only external factors such as distance, wind, temperature, and air pressure can be affected.

Two rifles of the same model, using the same type of ammunition, after excluding problems such as marksmanship and psychological quality, there is basically not much difference between an ordinary person and a fifth-level evolutionary - the vast majority of evolutionaries can indeed better use various modern weapons in actual combat, but he does not have the ability to make firearms break through the limits of their own lethality.

Only a small number of Evolutionaries can affect the lethality of firearms, such as attaching poison to bullets, interfering with the deflagration of gunpowder, using electromagnetic repulsion to increase the speed of warheads, etc., but the number of such Evolutionaries is too rare, and their abilities are also useful in other ways.

Firearms can only be regarded as supports, and the Evolvers themselves are their most powerful weapons.

As long as the strength of this short knife is sufficient, Qi Lin only needs to increase the speed of the shaped vortex to about 2,200 rpm, and the lethality of a single stab with all his strength is already comparable to a 5.56 mm caliber NATO bullet fired from an AR15 assault rifle at a distance of 200 meters, both of which can easily penetrate concrete walls more than 15 centimeters thick.

And by the time it reaches more than 3,500 revolutions, the power of the jab is comparable to that of an anti-materiel weapon, of course...... Provided that the blade does not crumble......

The length of the corridor was not short, and Qi Lin walked for more than a minute before he reached the exit and entered the gladiatorial arena.

It is an oval field about 100 meters long, and the ground is paved with a layer of light gray limestone, which has a dungeon-like sense of sight under the light of torches.

Overhead, there is a dome hundreds of meters high, and countless huge metal gears snap and rotate with each other, maintaining this "special shelter" that runs purely on mechanical power, and the surrounding auditoriums are filled with spectators in black robes and hoods.

"The first battle will be between a challenger from the Thunder Falcon Squad Reserve against the 'Sample No. 2' who has not appeared before. Now there are thirty seconds left until the battle begins! ”

Qi Lin looked across and saw a tall figure standing at the other end of the field, wearing a leather-tanned soft armor, only a small area of metal chain mail around his chest, shoulders and waist, carrying an alloy round shield in his left hand and a serrated short sword in his right hand.

This dress is completely the impression left by the ancient Western gladiators in people's minds.

This is not a battle test at all, it is clearly an ancient Roman-style gladiatorial fight, and the biggest role of this battle is not to test the limit of the combat effectiveness of the new modified people, but to please those who sit in the audience.

The countdown was completed by a huge mechanical stopwatch, and when the brass hands, which were more than two meters long, jumped to zero, a loud bell rang throughout the Colosseum.

"The battle begins!" Abel's voice was amplified several times by the megaphone, and as soon as the word "beginning" at the beginning was spoken, the second sample instantly disappeared from the position where he was originally standing, and rushed towards Qi Lin at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye!

"It's an agile transformer!" Qi Lin immediately made a judgment in his heart, to deal with this kind of opponent, choosing to dodge is an unwise decision, the speed of the agile enemy can completely keep up with your dodge rhythm, and can press step by step, forcing you into a passive situation that is difficult to fight back, and then Qi Lin wants to get out of this situation, he will have to pay a greater price.

He chose to hit it hard!

The short knife and the serrated sword collided together, and a large spark of brilliance emerged - these were the top cold weapons specially forged by the organization for this gladiatorial fight, and when they were replaced by ordinary carbon steel blades, they might have broken in the first collision, but these two weapons only broke a gap.

Qi Lin only had a short knife in his hand, but the other party had an extra round shield, and the moment the sawtooth short sword was framed, the round shield slapped Qi Lin's side with a piercing whistling sound!

"Boom!!"

Qi Lin was not hit by the round shield, but flew up and kicked in the center of the round shield, with the help of the reaction force, a backflip and the second sample opened a little distance, and then instantly pulled the speed of the shaped energy vortex to 2500 rpm, leaned forward, holding the short knife in both hands and stabbed the second sample into the lower ribs!

"Poof—"

The sharp short knife penetrated into the body of Sample No. 2, and Qi Lin pulled the blade down hard, and immediately cut a huge wound on Sample No. 2's body from under the ribs to the chest and abdomen, and hot blood rushed out of it—

Qi Lin could be sure that his knife had cut open the opponent's heart and cut off several large arteries connecting the heart, but the second sample did not fall, but waved a round shield, pushed Qi Lin who crashed into his arms, and tore off a large piece of flesh on Qi Lin's left arm with a serrated short sword!

"The new type of modified human heart is not critical, the function of the heart has been replaced by other artificial organs, and once these artificial organs are damaged, they can be replaced anytime and anywhere, and the cost of spare organs is extremely low." In the audience, Abel's voice explaining to the councilors reached Qi Lin's ears.

"The heart is not a weakness? That's just going to attack the brain......"
