XXVIII. In vivo experiments

Rayson's ears moved, and the moment he sensed the abnormal noise, he kicked his two fingers away: "Dodge!" ”

At the same time, Rayson rolled to the side, and the flashlight fell to the side without grasping it steadily.

The silver light struck, almost smashing on Rayson and Erzhi, and landed on the ground with a heavy muffled sound.

It was a huge axe, rusted and bloodstained, except for the blade, which was visibly polished and glowed silver.

The axe was huge and rough, as if it had been polished from a whole piece of pig iron, half the size of a man, and if it was struck, it would surely die!

"Huh? Yes! Two Fingers screamed, subconsciously wanting to escape, but just got up and hit the iron table next to him and fell into a ball.

Rayson looked at the metal stick of the axe, and it was a huge figure, more than two meters tall, as strong as a wall, and even in the darkness he could only see the outline, he could feel the dangerous aura he exuded.

"You're a member of the Church of Saints?"

The axe-wielder didn't answer, grabbed the axe, and slashed at Rayson again, who was asking.

Rayson rolled to the side again, avoiding it, and the axe slid against his body and chopped into the ground, cutting a hole.

There was no other light source here, and it was all dark. Rayson couldn't see the shape of the axe-wielding man clearly, and could only catch the direction of the axe's attack at the moment of attack, which was very tricky.

Even so, Rayson pulled out his long knife and stabbed it directly, he wanted to knock this guy down, and he wanted to stay alive and ask for clues.

Rayson's long knife hits, the tip of which is stuck in the shoulder of the axe-wielder. But he ignored it completely, and once again picked up the axe and swept it. Rayson felt the wind under his feet, and quickly jumped up and rolled over, kicking the man in the face.

The kick was so powerful that Rayson wanted to knock him out. Unexpectedly, the axe wielder only took two steps back, and the figure immediately stood still.

Lei Sen was stunned for a moment, and the wind sounded in his ears again, and he hurriedly lowered his head. The axe blade struck, taking away a strand of long hair from the back of Rayson's neck.

Rayson countered back, slashing from the bottom with a backhand knife and making up for a few more cuts.

Although he couldn't see the other side clearly in the darkness, Rayson could feel the long knife slash into the body of the axe-wielder, and the knife hit.

But the bearer of the axe was unconscious, and did not react to the attack at all, and with the cut of the long knife, he raised the axe again and smashed it on his head and face.

Rayson stepped away and grabbed a nearby table and smashed it. The axe-wielder swings his axe's long stick and knocks the table flying, killing again.

The axe smashed at Rayson continuously, and for a time he suppressed Rayson to retreat. As he dodged, the wound in his abdomen felt tingling and wet, apparently the wound was cracking and bleeding.

Rayson sweated profusely on his forehead, and the axe-wielder's brutal attack reminded him of an opponent he had met a few days earlier.

After a little thought, Rayson stepped back and pulled away from the distance, flipped open his collar, pulled out the exoskeleton's glasses and headphones and put them on: "Activate the thermal vision!" ”

"Roger, starting!" The AI responds instantly.

Through heat induction, Rayson was finally able to see the axe wielder in the dark; Although it was only through temperature sensing, I could see a red humanoid, but at least I could observe its movements.

The enemy analyzer works at the same time: "Abnormal human body, danger index, anger general level." It is recommended to use the Pulse Cannon to kill the target directly. ”

Sure enough, it's a variant!

The danger index is generally for mechanical equipment, ordinary humans and creatures rarely go beyond the category of the first and second level of brave soldiers, and the different variants directly cross a class and reach the first level of the angry general, which can be imagined to be terrifying.

Rayson's exoskeleton has been repaired, and the current danger index is Angry General Level 3, if you really use the pulse cannon, I believe you can still easily kill this mutant.

But Rayson clearly didn't want to do that; God knows if there are any other members of the Society of Saints here, and if not, killing this mutant would be tantamount to cutting off the last clue with his own hands.

After thinking about it, Rayson still didn't use the shoulder cannon, but pulled out the python revolver.

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out and hit the mutant in the left knee, and the large-caliber bullet shattered his kneecap, and the huge body staggered and fell to one knee.

Even though he was shot, the mutant quickly stood up again, took the axe, and limped towards Rayson.

Unceremoniously, Rayson shot it in the other leg, and the mutant finally fell.

At the end of the battle, Rayson finally had a chance to pick up the flashlight and see the mutant for what it was.

Just one glance sent chills down Rayson's spine.

Rayson was very curious just now, from beginning to end, this mutant didn't make a sound from his mouth, and now he finally knew what was going on, the mouth of this mutant was sewn up with needles and threads, no wonder it was so quiet.

Not only that, but the upper and lower eyelids of both eyes were cut off, and it was forcibly kept in a state of staring; It's long since it adapted to the darkness, so it's no wonder it's in a frenzied pursuit of Rayson.

Most bizarrely, two transparent hoses were buried in the flesh on either side of its head, under its temples, and a tin can was strapped to its back, connected to the transparent hose, which was pouring an unknown green liquid into its head.

Fortunately, the mutant does not possess the ability to heal itself, and the legs that were broken by the revolver never recovered. Judging from some of the more obvious physical features, this variant is still a woman.

To Rayson's disappointment, no matter how you look at it, this variant is just as sane as he has encountered before. Even though she couldn't stand up on the ground, she was still moving forward, crawling towards Rayson, her hand clutching the giant axe, and her eyes that couldn't close were full of murderous intent.

Obviously, it was impossible to get something out of her mouth. Rayson didn't hesitate either, holding up his gun to her head.

The gunshot rang out, and there was an extra hole in the middle of the female mutant's eyebrows, and the back half of her head was shattered into flesh, lying on the ground and not moving.

The dark space returned to tranquility, and the two fingers hid in the corner and shivered, and they didn't hear a sound for a long time before they crawled out.

Seeing the mutant of death, his two fingers were hairy: "Big, big brother, did you do this?" ”

"How?" Rayson had already put away the headphones and glasses of the exoskeleton, and he didn't want too many people to know about the mechanical exoskeleton for the time being, especially an untrustworthy gambler like Twofinger.

"Thisβ€”this is a variant!" The two fingers were still incredulous: "How can an ordinary person be an opponent of a deviant?" Big brother, who are you sacred? ”

"Isn't that weird?" Rayson said disapprerovingly, "I've already killed two of them before." ”

The second finger was shocked again, and instantly realized that the person who won five consecutive fights in the Colosseum and killed two mutants was the person in front of him.

Rayson didn't want to waste time and, and continued to explore the dark space. Twofinger was curious about the jar on the mutant's body, but he didn't dare to get closer, let alone leave Rayson's side, and cowered behind his ass.

There was such a big commotion just now, but no one else appeared, and Rayson estimated that there was no one else here. Walking in one direction to the end, the smell of blood in the air became heavier, and after a while, a tarpaulin was seen.

The tarpaulin hangs from the top of the space and hangs down to the ground, spreading all the way through, dividing the space in two. Because the tarp was not transparent, Rayson couldn't see what was in the space on the other side, so he lifted the tarp and walked in.

As soon as he came, the smell of blood in the air became extremely pungent, and what appeared in front of Lei Sen's eyes was actually a mountain of corpses! Dozens of corpses were piled up haphazardly, forming a hill, and the corpses at the bottom looked like they had been a long time old, and they were all starting to decompose, and even a lot of corpse oil was leaking.

More than half of these corpses were female mutants, and there were many disembowelmented women and children; The expressions on their faces were surprisingly uniform, their eyes widened, and they were full of horror and resentment.

The second finger followed up curiously, and when he saw this scene, he immediately screamed and turned his head and vomited. Rayson also frowned, Rao is him, he also feels bloody and cruel when he sees this scene, what is going on here? How could there be so many corpses?

In addition to a pile of unknown instruments, there were several huge iron cages built against the walls, which were empty, but there were a lot of blood stains and human stumps, and it was estimated that the mutants had been imprisoned in them.

The second finger vomited for a while before stopping, panting, and didn't dare to look back at the corpse mountain: "Thisβ€”Who did this?" Are those saints will? That's brutal, isn't it? What are they going to do? ”

Rayson also wanted to know the answer, searched around, and finally found a notebook under the table where the instrument was placed. Flipping through it, there are quite a few records of everything that happened here.

"Sixty-six subjects to be tested. In the direction of attacking, after the type II virus enters the human body and causes abnormal changes, try to reverse and recover. ”

There was a bunch of experiment records in the notebook, and Rayson finally determined that this was a living experiment base. The so-called sixty-six subjects to be tested are the women and children in the mountain of corpses.

"Subject 1, after being injected with the type II virus stock solution, the muscles and bones began to grow twice, and the reason was lost, which is consistent with the common abnormal characteristics. Brain cell fluid is cleansed in an attempt to reverse the mutation. ”

"Subject 1 failed to reverse, and the subject died during the cleaning process. This is not feasible. ”

"Subject 2, after injecting the virus stock solution, conforms to the common deviant characteristics, and is transplanted with bone marrow to try to reverse it."

"Subject 2 failed to reverse, was contaminated with the virus after bone marrow transplantation, and died of rejection."

"Subject No. 3, after injection, conforms to the common mutation characteristics. Heart, liver, bone marrow replacement. ”

"Subject 3 Failed to Reverse ......"

The scribbled handwriting records all the loss of human life, no wonder those corpses died in different forms, there were humans whose organs were removed, and there were also mutants; The book records the cause of their deaths, but it cannot record the despair they felt before they died.

Most of the records are similar, but the information on the last page caught Rayson's attention.

"Subject 37, slicing the prefrontal lobe of the brain, no longer indiscriminately aggressive; Circulating wash of the remaining brain with a nutrient mixed with the virus stock solution can replace the regular nutritional intake and keep the patient awake and mobile. ”

"Through continuous hypnosis of Subject 37, he was successfully instructed to guard the base; After examination, it was proved that Subject 37 was able to remember the original personnel in the base, and cleared out strangers, and there were no accidental injuries; The results showed that while the reversal of Subject 37 did not allow him to regain his full sanity and ability to think, there was a slight breakthrough, and his brain was partially restored to normal functioning. ”

When Rayson saw this, he already understood. The so-called mutant is produced by humans infected with something called a 'type II virus', and the people who do the experiment want to find a way for humans to return to normal after being mutated. The mutant just now is the recorded test subject 37, which is responsible for guarding this living experiment base, and it is also the first breakthrough test result here.

Of course, this achievement is no longer there.

The last scribbled of the book,It's the experimenter's own complaint.。

"Subject Twenty-Five ran away after the mutation, no matter what."

"In the past two days, I always feel that someone is following me, maybe someone from the organization has found me, and I need to move as soon as possible. Luckily, the new test subjects had already been transported, so the old man could just drive the car back and bring some important equipment with him. Subject Thirty-Seven stays here, and if someone comes in, he's unlucky. ”

"That young lady is really hard to serve, she is rushing to make progress every day, I hope that after we do what she wants, she will keep her promise."

So far in the book's record.,Judging from the information in it.,The person who led the live experiment here.,It's likely that the old woman that Rayson met.,But now this place should have been abandoned.。

And the old woman carried out the live experiment, it seems that it is not for herself, but for the sake of 'that young lady', and the old woman is very afraid that the matter here will be discovered by a certain organization.

But who is that young lady? And who is the organization? What is the relationship with the Church of Saints? None were recorded. Rayson couldn't help but feel a headache.

There wasn't much to see here, and Rayson and Twofinger continued on, eventually seeing an upward staircase.

Walking up, it's a much larger space, but it's not as dark as it was just now. It looks like a warehouse, with windows and roller shutters on the wall not far away, and the twilight shines in through the windows, giving you a full view of the place.

On the ground, Rayson also found tire prints, and it seemed that the truck that the old woman drove out turned out to be parked here. But Rayson didn't understand why they went out through the exit to the west of the city because this was the east of the city.

But there are too few things here, Lei Sen didn't get answers, but got more questions, and the tracking of Su Ling's whereabouts was extremely difficult.

With a sigh, Rayson walked to the roller shutter, stomped on the lock underneath, and opened the door, which was the street on the other side of the alley. This is the edge of the city, there are no people, from the side of the alley, the entrance disguised by the garbage cabinet can actually pass here, you can imagine how big the living experiment base is underneath.

Seeing this, the two fingers hurriedly caught up and called Rayson: "Big brother, are you leaving?" ”

"If you can't help it, you can go back by yourself." Rayson didn't look back, and left on his own, there was no need for him to stay any longer.

The two fingers looked back at the stairs that came up, and their eyes were full of reluctant greed.

But they didn't know that there was a third person who was observing here, a pair of old and cloudy eyes, looking at two fingers in the distance, and then looking at Rayson in the distance, almost angry as if he wanted to eat people.

……

By the time Rayson returned to the settlement, it was already nightfall. Before I could go inside, I heard a flustered noise coming from inside.

"Quick! Hold him down! ”

"I want to too! Fat man, you hold him! ”

"Ahh He, he, he bites me! I don't dare! ”

Lei Sen hurriedly rushed into the settlement, and it turned out to be Jiaming who was rampage through the settlement, next to him were the yellow-toothed guy and the fat man, and it could be seen that they had worked hard, but they still couldn't control Jiaming.

Not far away, Maurice sat on the cart with an anxious face, the baby in his arms was crying, and there were a few homeless people around to watch this scene, but seeing Jiaming lose his mind, he didn't dare to go up to help.

What's going on? Why did Jiaming suddenly look like this?

Lei Sen hurriedly went up and grabbed a folding arm, and instantly pressed Jiaming to the ground.

"Boss, boss, you're finally back?" Maurice breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Rayson.

"This big brother, it's not like we are abusing your friend!" The yellow-toothed guy collapsed on the ground and explained in a rough manner: "Your friend suddenly went crazy, you also saw it just now, running around and fighting, and several of us couldn't hold him down. It's a good thing you're back, otherwise our house would have been demolished for him. ”

Suddenly going crazy? Rayson was a little surprised: "Be clear." ”

"Just ...... Just now, I saw that he was still sitting there and wanted to feed him something. Maurice gasped and was shocked: "But as soon as the yellow tooth passed, he suddenly jumped up, and then ...... That's it for now. Boss, we really didn't do anything to him. ”

The more Lei Sen listened, the more confused he became, and then looked at Jiaming, because he was suppressed, his head was on the side of the ground, and everyone in his mouth kept making beast-like biting sounds, and his eyes seemed fierce, but they were still sloppy, as if he was angry when he got up.

"Hey! Boy, do you know me? ”

Rayson tried to call.

After a pause for two seconds, Jiaming suddenly seemed to wake up, his mouth stopped biting, and his eyes returned to a little clear.

Jiaming's gaze began to focus, slowly moving, and finally stopped at Rayson's face.

"Yes, it's you?"
