Chapter 430: The Siege (1)

[Tomorrow is Mother's Day, I wish all mothers in the world a happy and safe day!, even if you are busy, don't forget to send your own greetings~~]

Quiescence.

An oppressive silence filled the biochemical zone, and it was only after a long time that Dr. Curd's hoarse voice was heard, "I've changed my mind, you're a dangerous man. So, I decided to kill you now!"

As soon as the words fell, the sound of breaking the air immediately sounded above Zero's head. A researcher jumped from the ceiling of the biochemical zone, his fingers popping out dinosaur-like claws, and falling down with the momentum of tearing zeros.

Zero simply slipped back, causing the body to fall to the clearing, and the terror claw scratched a few clear claw marks on the alloy floor, and the sparks from the friction burst out, but they couldn't hurt Zero. The researcher didn't give up, he bounced up and turned around, and the research gown on his chest was suddenly torn, and a piece of flesh pad tissue that was more than a meter thick continued to proliferate, as if a huge tentacle was sweeping towards Zero.

The tip of the tentacle suddenly cracked in all directions, forming a mouthpart full of broken teeth. It was enough to swallow Zero in one bite, but the tentacle only reached a distance before it fell limply to the ground with a single gunshot. At some point, a bullet hole appeared in front of the researcher's forehead, and his eyes immediately lost their brilliance, and he fell to the ground with the deformed body.

Evolved again.

Zero thought to himself, judging from the data collected by the attack just now. Speed and liliang have increased by at least 5%, and the body has evolved to be more aggressive, as evidenced by the Dreadclaw and chest tentacles.

And derivatives like this have quietly spread throughout the biochemical area. Zero didn't have to look up, and he knew that there were more than twenty derivatives attached to the ceiling, and more derivatives were approaching in the cultivation tank from the array, forming a situation of encirclement. Dr. Kode's aura has become blurred, and the similar aura emitted by the numerous derivatives has become Dr. Kode's most cover, which is also one of Kode's strategies.

A float floated deep in the pupil of Zero's right eye, and the third-order genetic lock was lifted, and Zero was fully capable of using the "Prophet". The derivation is located, the movement trajectory and attack posture are deduced, and countless data sources continue to flow through Zero's brain. The increasing speed of data processing has even caused Zero's body temperature to rise, and he is using the "Prophet" to capture all the combat data, and within the time of the ability, unless the level between the two is as deep as a chasm, the opponent's actions will not be hidden from Zero.

So Kod saw a strange battle.

The body surged towards zero from all directions, or torn with claws, or bitten with mouths, and the fighting methods were all different. But Zero is like a prophet, always able to evade attacks a few points faster than the Diffuser, and at the same time use the two microcomputers in his hands to rush to counterattack. Zero's counterattack was clean and neat, and the muzzle of the gun seemed to point at random into the void, but in the next moment, his own body would always crash into the trajectory of the bullet, as if he had sent it to feed Zero.

Zero lines of clouds and water pierced through the cultivation tank distance array, and under the continuous shooting of the two guns in his hands, more and more of the body was lying on the ground. Kede's face turned pale, and if he let Zero continue to kill like this, no matter how many derivations there were, he would not be his opponent. In fact, after activating the Prophet's abilities, the swarm attack has lost its meaning for Zero. Zero always captures the trajectory of each target in the first step, and evades and counterattacks in advance.

It's just that the time of the "prophet" is limited, and in terms of zero's current ability, it can only maintain the "prophet" for about three minutes. Beyond this time, Zero's brain will collapse due to the influx of data that cannot be processed in time.

In the heat of battle, three minutes passed in the blink of an eye. With a sharp pain in his brain, Zero knew that he had reached his limit. The swirling symbol in his right eye faded away, and Zero retreated from the realm of foresight, and the feeling was like a falcon soaring freely in the sky suddenly being restrained to the ground, making Zero feel sluggish and numb.

Of course, this feeling is also relative to the state in which the "prophetic" power operates. Ideologically, Zero is still very sharp. It's just that Zero has lost that sense of being in control of the overall situation, and has to deal with it separately when facing the incoming Radiants one by one.

At this moment, more than a dozen Derivative Bodies chased after him from the ground and ceiling, but Zero's attention could only focus on the three Derivative Bodies that pounced first. Three derivations, two of which bypassed behind the trough, increased in speed and attacked with their dreadclaws. The third derive is a little behind, and the chest tentacles pop out from the front to attack. The attacks of all three fall almost simultaneously, so that nothing is lost at the expense of the other.

Zero sneered, and his body leaned forward and shortened in an instant. Before the two Derivants could react, the muzzle of the gun that was erected against their chins from below slammed into each other, and the bullet went straight through their heads, ejecting two blood lines above the Derive's head. Killing these two creatures, Zero rolls around, allowing the tentacles sweeping from the front to bite the air.

Bounced off the ground, the tentacles swept over again. Zero swept towards the body, moving left and right, so that the tentacles' attacks missed one by one. As he approached the Derive, Zero jumped up and tumbled over the top of the Derivant's head, pointing the muzzle of his gun at the Derivant's head. By the time he fell to the ground, the derivative had fallen limply.

But there are more derivative bodies to kill, and they are like inexhaustible puppets, which makes people marvel at how terrible the splitting performance of Z matter is. Zero didn't have time to admire, and his gaze suddenly fell on the cultivation tank. The next moment, the two guns were raised, and two bursts of fire shattered the cover wall of one culture tank on the left and one on the left. Suddenly, a large amount of nutrient base solution was sprayed out of the culture tank. At the same time, the wall of the hood shattered, and the human body inside naturally slipped out of the cultivation tank and fell to the ground.

As soon as they left the tank, the two humans, a man and a woman, twitched violently. It was as if the drowning man could not breathe any air, and after a moment they stopped breathing and died completely. Kode looked in his eyes with a heart-wrenching expression. The people in the training tank were either people from the previous research base, or outcasts he had captured in the wilderness. For Kode, they are all precious food.

After the Z substance fused with him, he modified his genes and body, which also changed Kode's diet. Now he is like a vampire, feeding on the fresh blood of living beings. Therefore, Kede put these people who were still alive into the culture tank, and repaired some of the functions of the biochemical area, so that the culture tank maintained the life of these foods, and used special biological organs to suppress their thoughts, so that these people became living dead-like beings.

But because they have been in the culture tank for too long, they have become creatures without will. They have lost their instincts, and once they leave the tank, they don't even know how to breathe, so they suffocate to death.

Of course, their lives or deaths are none of Kode's business. It's just that as soon as they die, the blood will coagulate, and the blood of the dead is like some kind of poison to Kode, which is also one of the defects of the Z substance.

Seeing that Zero's muzzle was aimed at the cultivation tank again, Cord cursed, but had to order the Derivative to protect his granary. In this way, Zero also achieves the effect of "prophet" to some extent. In order to protect the tank, the derivative body is self-exposed to the muzzle of zero. Zero was not polite, and the muzzle of the gun shifted from the cultivation tank to the head of the derivation, and shot the head one by one.

Kord began to realize that he couldn't seem to make it coexist between the derivation and the culture tank. Derivation can be infinitely produced through cell division, but every time a cell is lost, it will also lose the smallest amount of energy that Kode seems. The cells of matter Z can divide indefinitely, but the energy cannot be continuously regenerated. The most basic way to replenish energy is to suck fresh blood.

Obviously, now is not a good time to eat, which means that there is also a quantitative limit to Kode's crowd tactics.

The numerical advantage of the derivation body was gradually dragged by zero, and Kede's face was solemn. He snorted, albeit reluctantly, but now he had to create a stronger derivation. After all, relying solely on combat to collect zero information, in turn, the speed of the evolution of ordinary derivatives can no longer keep up with the amount consumed, and Ke De can only make a decision early. Even if he wanted to create a new type of derivation, from the aspect of suppressing zero, he would need to consume several times the energy of an ordinary derivation.

The cells in the body are integrating the information possessed by the new evolution according to Kode's wishes, and the new evolution must be strong, in order to deal with zero shots, it must also have an exoskeleton armor stomach, and secondly, it needs to be overwhelmingly liliang, and so on, and various information is integrated and intensified, and then a new cell is generated. From this point in hand, the secreted biological matrix quickly forms the shape of a meat ball. The palm of Zuihou Kede's right hand cracked open a mouthpart like an ordinary body, and the ball of flesh formed in the body popped out of the mouthparts and fell to the ground through a special tube wall.

When the new derivative substance was split, Kod's chest rose and fell, and he gasped for air. At the same time, beads of sweat hung on his face, and just to promote the formation of a new type of derivative body, it consumed 15% of his energy. But the payoff and the reward are equal, Kede smiled, the new derivation will bring zero devastating blows.

On the ground, the round ball of flesh began to give birth to countless nerves, and the surface of the nerves began to cover the biofilm, and then the muscle fibers were built, and the surface of the cuticle like a carapace floated, and a new type of derivative body was rapidly evolving.

The muzzle of the Zero gun kept moving, turning the derivative that had been turned into a living target just to protect the culture tank into a real corpse. In the midst of the red-hot torrent of metal, Zero will also maliciously damage Corde's granary when shooting gaps. When he saw these incubators, Zero was already sure that the people inside had become vegetative people with no ability to think because of the suppression of their will by their biological organs.

The whole purpose of their existence was to provide food for Kod, so Zero didn't mind destroying the culture tank and exposing these vegetative people to death. Anyway, even if Zero doesn't destroy the cultivation tank, their final fate will be the same. At least for now, they can die with a little more dignity.

And more importantly, Zero wanted to cut back on Kode's food as much as possible. A figure like Kode, who is not at all calm, often exposes certain weaknesses when faced with a desperate situation. And as long as there is a weakness, Zero will not let go, whether it is psychological or physical.

However, when a round of shooting blew up more than a dozen cultivation slots, Zero suddenly looked at the space in front of Xiangyou's side. One by one, the green nutrient base liquid burst out, and along with the spraying of the base solution, there were countless fragments of the cover wall of the culture tank.

A tall figure met Zero's eyes.

For a moment, Zero thought the angry archon of Jotunheim had come to the underground base. But on closer inspection, it was naturally not the consuls, but a new type of derivative created by Kode. This body is about three meters tall, and its muscles are tendoned, just like a fleshy man. The body is covered with a grayish-white cuticle, and the head, chest, arms, and lower legs are covered with an exoskeleton and stomach. From the metallic copper sheen of the surface of these external skeletons, it is not difficult to imagine how strong their defenses are.

It was like a giant in heavy armor walking towards Zero, sinking into the base floor for a few minutes with each step, and shaking cracks in the ground. Zero quickly estimated the weight of the other party, and got a terrible figure of at least ten tons. That means that the new type of body has a high density of body tissue, and the prominence of its own weight often means a terrifying liliang.

Judging from the bioenergetic aura sensed on the body of the derive, this body has reached the level of at least the seventh order.

This is definitely a qualitative leap, the ordinary derivative body is only at the level of the fifth and sixth order, while the current derivative body has already reached the seventh order. Even if it doesn't have special abilities and only has seventh-order liliang and defense, it is enough to pose a certain threat to eighth-order zero.

Kod looked at the nascent Rage with heartache, and it headed straight towards Zero, but it swept away the cultivation tanks that stood in its way. The devastation caused by the berserkers alone is far above zero. But this new derivation is different from the ordinary version of the researcher, it belongs to the temporary creation of Kode. After the build, only the commands originally implanted by Kod will be executed, but it will not be able to receive subsequent commands from Kod. With elementary intelligence, which can be regarded as an independent combat unit, all Kod can do is give vague instructions to the Berserker through the connection of the source, but he cannot ask it to do such delicate orders as avoiding the cultivation tank and advancing.

Heartache to heartache, Kede quietly hid his body while the Berserker was approaching zero, and in order to cooperate with the Berserker's actions, he was brewing a killing game against Zero.

Zero Ning stood still, his guns raised flat, and at the same time pulled the trigger. The muzzle of the gun jumped, and the bullet line of fire fell on the chest of the berserker with an astonishing line. The clashing of bullets and exoskeletons made a continuous metallic crunch, which made Zero frown. At a high-velocity bullet point, the same position is subjected to 60 rounds per minute, and ordinary metal plates will also be shot through.

Judging from the fact that the berserker's body only showed a slight stiffness under the high-frequency blow, it was obvious that the power of the micro-machine rush could not penetrate the exoskeleton stomach of the giant's body. In this case, it means that the density and mass of the armor stomach are already equal to the tactical armor plate, and the berserker wearing this armor stomach is like a humanoid chariot!

The berserker, who had been bombarded by the dense line of fire, lit up two spots of crimson light in the covered armor stomach on his head. It raised its fist in the air, then threw a remote punch in the direction of Zero.

The fist slammed into the air, and the seventh-order Liliang pushed the air to form a substance-like air cannon towards Zero. The air resounded with a sharp hiss, and Zero felt that the oncoming wind pressure was like a volcanic eruption, carrying a terrifying aura of energy. At the end of the cannon, there were faint folds on the ground and the cultivation tanks on both sides, which was a phenomenon of air distorted by energy.

Zero can imagine that when the wind cannon falls on itself, it will erupt with a terrifying liliang of more than 100 tons!
