Chapter 226: Sunset (4)

"I ......"

was laughed at by Yang Xiu like this, Wu Qi's face immediately turned red, and his embarrassed appearance was really a little similar to the self-inflating pufferfish.

After Team Thorn left Research Station 7, the entire team underwent tissue reinforcement experiments, with a forced injection of secondary viruses and immunosuppressants.

Such a rapid reinforcement of the whole team will naturally cause confusion among the people in the station, so the organization has also announced the corresponding reasons.

The reason for the announcement is to prevent the aberrant Overlord Butterfly from rioting and increase the reserve combat power in Research Station 22.

But the actual reason is that all the members of the Dark Thorn Team may have been genetically contaminated, and there may be a king-level virus left on their bodies.

If you are not infected with the king-level virus, but just simple genetic contamination, then there is no problem without intensive treatment, anyway, there are sufficient immune drugs in the tissue, and if you find signs of mutation, you will be done with the medicine.

But if you are infected with the king-level virus, just by virtue of the physical fitness of ordinary people, you will definitely not be able to withstand the cannibalization of the king-level virus.

And this cannibalization is irreversible.

Soon, all members of the Assassin Squad will become something even more terrifying than zombies, irrational, uncontrolled, and into never-ending killing machines.

What's more, it's hard to kill.

If that happens, the plans of the T-organization will be disrupted, and it will be more costly to fix it.

A comparison between the two situations, anyone with a discerning eye knows what to do.

So the Assassin Team received all the reinforcements, and none of the lucky ones turned into zombies.

In fact, this investigation mission about mutant creature 1158 is the first task received by the Dark Thorn Team after it is strengthened, due to the rush of time and the lack of communication, so the team is not clear about the grafted gene fragments of each team member.

Only Yin Jian, who is the team leader, knows a little about the situation, but he only knows the source of the early genes of each team member in a very general way.

Thinkers

Starting with the youngest Wu Qi, as Yang Xiu just asked, the grafted gene fragments of this timid poor young man came from a freshwater fish, the pufferfish.

This fish is indeed as Yang Xiu said, when it encounters a threat, it will inflate itself, like a cute balloon covered with short spines.

However, this fish is not timid, on the contrary, pufferfish, which usually feed on shellfish, often attack fish that are similar to their own size, or even larger than their own size.

"Weapon, you shouldn't have the feeling of ability awakening yet, right?"

Looking at Wu Qi, who was standing in place at a loss, Yin Jian asked.

"Yes, Boss, after the experiment, I just feel that my muscle strength has increased a lot, but there is still no sign of awakening in terms of ability."

"Maybe it's because you're more wastewood, hahahaha......"

Mao Jiarui's snorting and sneering sound was heard again in the headphones, because the restoration of the communication channel allowed the sniper who was moving closer to the ruins to hear the conversation in the team.

Wu Qi, whose face had just faded from blush, was a little unnatural when Mao Jiarui said this.

"Maozi, what about you, are there any signs of ability to awaken?"

As a sniper, Mao Jiarui's skills are not limited to "shooting very accurately and aiming very steadily".

He was also a mercenary, and before he was strengthened, he was known for his amazing record of annihilating four warbands alone.

Although most of those warbands were rebels in poor areas, they were inferior in weapons and combat skills to professionally trained mercenaries.

But if you want to be annihilated by one person, it is still difficult to do so.

After all, if there are too many ants, they can bite elephants to death.

But Mao Jiarui annihilated the four battle groups alone, and he was able to retreat with his whole body.

Its comprehensive combat capability can be seen.

After the enhancement, under the combined action of secondary viruses and immune agents, Mao Jiarui's combat capability has been further improved.

Before the investigation mission was carried out, Mao Jiarui took the first step to survey the terrain beside the ruins, and cleared a building that could be used for sniper observation by himself.

You must know that this is a post-cataclysmic world, and it is not as simple as pressing an elevator to get to the top of a building.

There will be an unknown number of bloodthirsty zombies in the building, and even powerful mutated zombies when you're unlucky.

However, Mao Jiarui was able to turn a building full of zombies into his own safety zone with only the isolation agent and his own combat skills, which shows the horror of his ability.

"I felt a little bit when I cleaned up the building before, but now it seems to be gone, so maybe it's not time yet......"

Mao Jiarui's disapproving voice came from the headphones, and it could be seen that this sniper didn't seem to be in a hurry to improve his strength, and adhered to a natural attitude.

But Yin Jian was not as easy as Mao Jiarui, and confirmed repeatedly.

"A little bit of a feeling when you're cleaning up the building? What does it feel like? ”

"Forehead ......"

As if he didn't expect the captain to ask himself, Mao Jiarui on the other end of the headset was silent and did not answer immediately.

"At that time, I was on the fifth floor, and I encountered twelve secondary infections, and under the effect of the isolation agent, those secondary infections without visual ability could not detect me at all, but at the corner of the stairs, three more first-order pawns appeared."

"The result can be imagined, I wanted to sneak over quietly, but I just happened to be caught right now, and I had no choice but to fight with those zombies."

"You must know that before this, I have never fought with three mutant zombies at the same time, fortunately, the pawn-level zombies I encountered, if I met three car or three horse levels, Brother Yin, you may not be able to see me......"

Mao Jiarui on the other end of the headset spoke in a brisk tone, as if the danger at that time had nothing to do with him, there was no sense of tension, and it was as if he was depicting the plot routine in the vulgar.

"Don't deviate from the topic, pick and choose, what kind of state is the 'feeling' you mentioned earlier?"

As the captain, Yin Jian is naturally familiar with Mao Jiarui's problems, and pulled back the topic that the other party deviated from in time.

"Hey, hey, just ...... Feeling hot? It's a bit like being in a state of getting drunk......"

And Mao Jiarui, who was the arrow, laughed twice and replied.

"And then?"

Yin Jian didn't seem to be satisfied with Mao Jiarui's answer, and continued to ask.

And then ...... Then I killed all those zombies, and extracted three tubes of first-order cerebrospinal fluid, thinking that I would bring them back to Research Station 22 at the end of the mission, but it turned out to be good, and I was blind......"

"Hoo ......"

After listening to his teammates say this, Yin Jian exhaled a long breath, as if he was a little regretful, but also like a little lucky.

Mao Jiarui, a sniper of the Dark Stab Squad, has a unique combat ability and a shooting talent of almost 100 shots, and after the successful reinforcement, the initial exogenous genes obtained come from a frog species, the scientific name - African Cow Box Frog.

The African bullfrog, also known as the African bullfrog.

When I first heard that the foreign gene fragments grafted by the organization to their own team members were from bullfrogs

At that time, Yin Jian even wondered if the scientists in the organization were stupid because of long-term research, how could they graft such useless gene fragments to Mao Jiarui.

It wasn't until he saw the information about the African cow box frog that this perception disappeared completely.

Because as a frog, it's just too big.

In the juvenile stage, the African box frog can reach a length of nine centimeters, and in the adult stage, it can reach a staggering 30 centimeters.

You must know that the size of ordinary frogs is only seven or eight centimeters when they reach adulthood, and compared with the African cow box frog, it is simply not pocket-sized.

And this kind of frog is very aggressive, it is a small group of frogs with sharp teeth, carnivorous it basically eats what it sees, from small insects to large birds, and when it is extremely hungry, it will even eat its own kind of life to meet its own survival needs.

Mao Jiarui's own combat quality is good, and after the successful enhancement, he has obtained such a ferocious exogenous gene, which makes Yin Jian very worried about his first-order skills after awakening.

Why? Because Dr. Su once said before giving them all the reinforcements, becoming an enhancer does not mean that they can sit back and relax from now on, although exogenous genes can bring them different abilities and talents, but they will also have an impact on their mental aspects.

In other words, after Mao Jiarui completely awakens and becomes a first-order ability, it is very likely that he will be affected by the ferocious nature of the African cow box frog and become uncontrollable.

If not handled properly, the Assassin Team will most likely lose a capable sniper forever.

That's why Yin Jian is so concerned about Mao Jiarui's awakening.

"Maozi, you haven't awakened yet, do you want me to teach you a little experience, sister?"

Just as Yin Jian was thinking, a charming female voice came from behind him, dragging him back to reality.

"Sheep and scorpion, don't mix it blindly......"

Glancing back at the smiling woman, a wry smile appeared on Yin Thorn's face.

That's right, it's not that no one in the Dark Thorn team has awakened, and after all the members have been successfully strengthened, the first team member to awaken is the woman standing behind this rat-faced man-Yang Xiu.

Memories reappeared, like a door that had been sealed for many years, slowly pushed open.

Yang Xiu in Yin Jian's memory is a decisive woman, as far as he knows, they are also from mercenaries, although Yang Xiu has performed many fewer tasks than him, but the number of people who died at the hands of this woman is not inferior to Yin Jian.

This should have been a terrifying feature, but in Yin Jian's eyes, it has become an unparalleled attraction point.

Yin Thorn fell hopelessly in love with this woman.

But it's a pity that Yang Xiu is not interested in Yin Jian, not because of Yin Jian's appearance, but because this woman is not interested in love at all.

It's like a person who doesn't have hands and can't grasp it.

And Yang Xiu has lost the ability to fall in love with others and will never be able to have love.

She regards Yin Thorn as her best friend, her best comrade-in-arms, intimate, not a brother but better than a brother.

But there is no trace of love between men and women.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's as pure as distilled water.

Although Yin Jian's admiration was not reciprocated, he did not give up or change his original intention, Yang Xiu regarded him as a friend, so he silently guarded the other party's side, and was the knight who protected the princess forward.

Although the combat power of this princess is also extraordinary.

I thought that life would go on like this, until the incident at Research Station 7 happened, and all the members of the Assassination Team were reinforced......
