"How big is the gap between the transformer and the TF? The special reporter of this site interviewed the president of the First Academy of Sciences of the League to uncover the secret of transforming people for you. ”

Local time, 1:32 p.m.

Johannesburg South-East, Alberton Base.

The ACA is part of the South African branch of the Special Tactics and Intelligence Control Agency, 'Eyes of Unity'.

"I've made it clear, the 'Eyes of Unity' don't need waste."

Bright red blood spread along the lines of the floor tiles, following the blade of the black-red longsword in the ACA logo to the equally black-red book beneath the logo.

The office, which had once belonged to the head of the South African branch, had become a slaughterhouse, with splatters of blood spraying on the white walls and dripping from the ceiling along the ornate crystal chandeliers back onto the floor tiles.

"I've made it clear, the 'Eyes of Unity' don't need waste."

Repeating his words, the man in the black military coat shook his head, a look of regret, and ignored the body in front of him, which he had torn in half, three minutes earlier, as the head of the South African branch of the Eyes of Unity.

He turned around, walked to the wide mahogany desk, tore off the ACA flag on the wall, wiped the blood that had splashed on his arm, and then took off his blood-soaked white gloves, threw them on the ground, and leaned over to press the electric bell on the table.

Seconds later, Thomas Hunt, the deputy minister of the "Eyes of Solidarity" South Africa, pushed open the door and walked into the room, a middle-aged man with a pale face who tried to keep himself from looking at the body of his former boss on the ground, holding his chest up but sweating profusely.

"What do you command, Your Excellency, Deputy Director?"

The man in front of him, who was calmly wiping the blood from his chest with the ACA military flag, was named Marshall Colona, and was the deputy director of the "Eyes of Unity" - although he was the deputy director, the director of the "Eyes of Unity" was concurrently served by the chairman of the ACA, which was basically a fictitious position, and Marshall was the real boss of the "Eyes of Unity".

"What else can I do, wipe this idiot's ass." Marshall glanced in disgust at the corpse on the ground, which had been halved in half, and held the flag in his right hand and kept wiping his chest as if he had been stained with something disgusting.

"I'm disappointed that you idiots can be toyed with by an alliance trash." Marshall threw aside the blood-stained military flag, went around the table and stared coldly at the trembling deputy minister, "Two to be exact!" First stolen by one alliance's garbage, and then threatened by another garbage until now! ”

Marshall's anger was not only because the waste minister lost the chip, but also because the renegade agent "Tape Measure", who was originally firmly controlled by the ACA, actually took the chip and blackmailed the ACA to provide a large amount of cash.

In Marshall's view, money is not the problem, the problem is betrayal and insult.

"Right...... I'm sorry, sir, but ...... Why don't we just destroy that chip? ”

Trembling, Thomas's mouth was dry because of nervousness and fear, but he subconsciously asked a question to the evil star in front of him......

"It seems that you are not too stupid," perhaps just after killing people to vent their anger, unexpectedly, Marshall did not rush up and smash the deputy minister to death with a punch, but raised his eyebrows and gave the answer, "We must use the information in the chip to control the inside line of the Knights, I never believed that guy was really serving us, this is our bargaining chip, understand?" ”

"Got it! Sir! Thomas, who was immortal, breathed a sigh of relief, and there was a little confidence in his words.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk too much, from now on you are the minister, remember to get the chip back, I will return to the headquarters of the society in the afternoon, but ...... I'll let Snake Eyes stay and keep an eye on you. ”

"Yes!" The deputy minister, or the new branch chief, did not have any joy because of the promotion, after all, the previous minister was now just two lumps of rotten meat lying on the ground, and besides, the deterrent power of the name 'snake eyes' was in a sense no less than that of the man in front of him.

"Also, I heard that you have got the list, so let's kill all those supporters of the Knights." Marshall sat on his desk, wiped his still bloodied hands on the tablecloth twice, and said in disgust.

"Yes, sir! Our 'nails' have already sent back the information, and they are ready to go. ”

"Don't leave food alive and waste food."

Marshall put his big cap back on him, and with a single sentence that decided the fate of the Order's South African hermitage, he stood up and gave a military salute to the new minister in front of him.

"The light of evolution shines on all mankind."

"Yes, sir! The light of evolution shines on all of humanity! ”

Local time, 6:28 p.m.

Inside a slum in the southern suburbs of Johannesburg.

Ling Yu struggled to adjust his flying posture in the air, but his back still hit an armored car hard, although this impact would not cause TF to be too seriously injured, but he could not adjust his movements and had to face the opponent's ensuing attacks.

"Boss!!"

Jiesi pulled the blade of her right hand out of the neck of an ACA assault soldier and dodged a grenade, a storm of prefabricated fragments exploding near her, but her gaze only stayed on Ling Yu's body.

"Do your job!"

Ling Yu didn't have more time to pay attention to Jiesi, facing the instantly enlarged mechanical fist in front of him, Ling Yu could only turn over and dodge, allowing the armored car behind him to be smashed into a pit.

Ling Yu, who had rolled several times in a row to dodge the bullets that followed, finally got a moment of respite, he half-knelt on the ground, shook his right arm, which was a little numb from resisting the opponent's punch, and smacked his lips gently.

Two hours ago, Jess and Ling Yu received information from the hermitage that the location of the mutinous agent codenamed "Tape Measure" was in the slums south of the city.

Ling Yu decisively asked Jiesi, who was more suitable for positional warfare, to deal with the endless assault troops, while he rushed to the "tape measure" who planned to escape.

Unexpectedly, Ling Yu suffered a loss.

The reason is simple, the "tape measure" is not an ordinary human, but a modified person.

The technological leap brought about by prehistoric civilizations also includes mechanical prosthetics, an invention that was supposed to serve the disabled, but it was soon applied to the military, and many soldiers chose to become modified in order to gain greater combat effectiveness.

Although it sounds similar, there is a big difference between the modified person and the TF - the enhancement of the TF is mostly from the genetic level, while the modified person is acquired, in contrast, the ability of the TF is more freely used, the side effects are so small that they are almost negligible, and the continuous combat ability and comprehensive combat ability are far stronger than the modified person.

In short, if the average human is 10 points, the modified human is only 30 points, and the TF has 100 points.

But transforming people is not an ordinary human after all, although they don't have the same strong comprehensive ability as TF, but if there is a mental calculation and no intention, it is still possible to get to TF, such as Ling Yu at this time, only to find out that it was wrong when the opponent punched, so he ate a set of combination punches and was knocked more than ten meters away.

Like most of the reformers, the "Tape Measure" replaced his right hand with a mechanical arm - at first glance this transformation seems to be very similar to Jiesi, but from the punch just now, the judgment is high - the full force of the "Tape Measure" can only make a pit in the armored car - this kind of Cheng Dù Ling Yu can also do. On the contrary, if it was replaced by Jiesi, then I am afraid that Ling Yu's best result would be to break an arm.

The most intuitive reason for this gap is that the machine is already a part of the body for Jeunse, while the body of the "tape measure" is still an ordinary human - this is also an insurmountable gap between the transformer and the TF!

Ling Yu glanced at the short black youth in front of him, stepped on the ground with his right foot, and dodged the opponent's punch again—this time it was much easier.

"It's just a modified person." Ling Yu whispered, raised the corners of his mouth to reveal a smile, as if he was laughing at his carelessness and caution, and then, with a smile, the young man in black began his own counterattack!

There was no need to enter the overclocking state at all, Ling Yu, who was highly concentrated, stepped on his right foot, and the drainage manhole cover that he had been optimistic about for a long time was provoked by him, and the black-clothed young man kicked the manhole cover that was flipped at high speed in the air to the enemy on the opposite side!

"Tape Measure" waved his bulky mechanical fist and subconsciously smashed the cellar manhole cover to the side, and Ling Yu had already quickly bullied in front of his opponent, and his right hand punched towards the face of "Tape Measure".

No, the tape measure can only use the submachine gun in his left hand to resist Ling Yu's full force - there is no suspense, the submachine gun was instantly smashed into pieces, and the fragments composed of high-strength engineering plastics and metals hit the face of the "tape measure" like bullets with huge kinetic energy, and the skin was suddenly open and blood was dripping.

Unexpectedly, the "Tape Measure" didn't panic because of the injury, and didn't even make a sound, he just took a step back, and then swung out the mechanical fist of his right hand and smashed it towards Ling Yu's head!

"Hmph--"

Rarely, the corners of Ling Yu's mouth were raised, but he didn't lean over to dodge, instead, he retracted his left hand, made an elbow posture, and met the fist coming from the side head-on!

Hit hard!

The tooth-aching sound of metal deformation came in an instant, followed by a black hydraulic fluid spraying out from the inside of the cracked mechanical arm, splashing on Ling Yu's face like blood.

Ignoring the wail from the "Tape Measure", Ling Yu's right hand knife, which was already ready to attack, stabbed out, aiming at the place where the "Tape Measure's" right arm and body were connected!

"When will it ......"

The hand knife that Ling Yu stabbed with all his strength touched the armor on the right chest of the "Tape Measure", but the alloy armor that was enough to resist the zero-distance direct fire of the submachine gun was pierced by Ling Yu's blow!

Blood spurted out along Ling Yu's palms and the backs of his hands, splashing on Ling Yu's face, mixing with the black engine oil, emitting a strange glow.

“…… Transforming human ......"

Ling Yu's right hand fingers curled, and in the scream of "Tape Measure", his left elbow flipped and clamped the opponent's mechanical arm!

"I also dared to be presumptuous in front of TF?!!"

Ling Yu let out a loud shout and burst out of his power, and at the same time that the tactical boots kicked the ground out of a circle of cracks, Ling Yu's hands slammed in both directions!

Blood spurted out, followed by a strip of metal stripped from the opponent's body!

Ling Yu actually ripped the mechanical right arm of the "tape measure" off his body!

Ling Yu gasped and looked at the "tape measure" that rolled his eyes and fell in front of him - the short black young man had already ripped off his right arm, and he also had a heavy injury to his lungs and spine, just leave it alone, he wouldn't live for ten minutes.

Ling Yu smiled bitterly, he was still too impulsive-he could have used other more effective methods to deal with the enemy in front of him, but the shame of being attacked and sent flying made the impulsive youth take such extreme measures.

Of course, he also enjoyed the thrill of revenge.

"I've got the chip, Jesse."

Fortunately, the "tape measure" did not eat the chip into the stomach, from the chest pocket of the other party's torn jacket, Ling Yu easily found a bumper box, Ling Yu did a simple scan, and opened it to take a look, and there was no discrepancy with the information provided by the secret service.

"Boss! Watch out for missiles!! ”

As soon as Ling Yu put the chip into the three-proof waist bag, Jiesi's anxious shout came from the earphones, Ling Yu raised his head, and a group of black dots in the sky had already flown towards his position!

Damn, patronizing out of anger and forgetting the three-minute rule!!

Without any hesitation, Ling Yu turned on the overclocking state, rushing towards a turbulent river not far away at a speed twelve times that of ordinary people, he glanced at it, Jiesi, who had acted first, had obviously made the same choice as him!

When I go back, I have to punish myself a hundred times, "I'm not impulsive!!

This was the only thought that Ling Yu's body had when it hit the icy river.
