Chapter 153 The Eve of the Storm
Before returning to Master Qu's laboratory, Qi Yuan first went to see Master Luo, slaughtered the Anqira insect beast controlled by Seraph and gave it to Master Luo as a dish.
Then, Qi Yuan went to Ling You's residence again, and quietly tested Ling You with the excuse of asking the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce. After confirming that she could not detect the existence of Seraphim, she leisurely returned to Master Qu's laboratory.
After seeing Qi Yuan come back, Master Qu was obviously relieved. What he was most worried about was that Qi Yuan had an accident. Once Qi Yuan had an accident at this critical moment, all his previous preparations would be in vain.
With his own strength alone, he could not confront Feng Gan at all.
"The shelter assessment is imminent. Don't wander around recently. Prepare for the assessment with peace of mind and be careful to attack you." Master Qu couldn't help but remind him.
Qi Yuan nodded. All sign-in points had been signed in, and he didn't need to go out and wander around.
"A few days left, we will finally optimize and detect the berserkers, and strive to defeat Fenggan's berserkers in the battle!" said Qu Shi.
As time approached, Master Qu became a little uneasy. In addition to the pressure brought by Feng Gan, he also had some worries about Qi Yuan.
This time, facing Feng Gan, Qi Yuan will charge to the forefront. Once an accident occurs, Qi Yuan may be doomed.
Compared to Master Qu's uneasiness, Qi Yuan was much calmer. In addition to the biggest trump card of the Talent Tree, the existence of Seraphim also added a lot of confidence to Qi Yuan.
Just as Qi Yuan and Qu Shi were making final preparations, Feng Gan in the Heigang Shelter was also making final arrangements.
Private training room.
Feng Gan and Ke Shoulin stood side by side, preparing to observe the battle between Ke Long and another peak third-level battle.
Ke Long was covered with a layer of golden light, holding two golden swords that were condensed to the extreme, emitting powerful and violent energy fluctuations, like a war god emitting the light of the sun.
Above his spine below the back of his neck was covered with a metal module that was only half a palm-sized, and its appearance was nine points similar to that of the Berserker made by Qi Yuan.
Ke Long's opponent was a middle-aged man with a heavy face, covered with scarlet armor on his body, and scarlet lightning was cruising around like a living creature.
The two confronted each other from afar, and the battle was about to break out.
In the observation area, Ke Shoulin, who was gray and short inch and had a sharp look like a goshawk, glanced at the two of them and asked, "Who do you think about this game?"
"Of course it's Xiaolong!" Feng Gan said with a smile.
"As a third-level genetic warrior, although Ji's basic physical data is a little stronger than Xiaolong, the berserkers on Xiaolong are stronger than Ji's thunder. The gap between these two mechanical weapons cannot be compensated by that slight difference in body strength! The berserker is ahead of all the active third-level mechanical weapons a whole generation!"
"The thunder on Ji's body is the latest third-level mechanical armament launched by Liusha. All practical data are much stronger than our existing third-level mechanical armament." Ke Shoulin said.
"In front of the Berserker, any third-level mechanical armament in service is vulnerable! Within at least ten years, it is impossible for mechanical armament to appear stronger than the Berserker!" Feng Gan said confidently.
"Thunder may be good compared to other mechanical armed forces, but in front of the Berserker, it is not even qualified to challenge. Before this battle, the Berserker had already had forty-seven actual combat tests. The mechanical armed models of the battle included twenty-nine third-level mechanical armed forces in active service. The Berserker had no defeat, and they all defeated and won."
"Since Xiaolong wears the Berserker, defeating Ji is the inevitable result. The only difference is how long Ji can last!"
"Haha! Hahaha!" Ke Shoulin laughed out loud when he heard this.
"You are still so confident as before!"
"If I don't even have this confidence, I wouldn't recommend letting Xiao Ke use the Berserker!" Feng Gan said calmly.
"If Xiaolong's berserk was really as powerful as you said, after launching, it would definitely crush all existing third-level mechanical weapons, and orders outside would be lenient. At that time, remember to reserve two hundred units for my battle department!" Ke Shoulin said.
Feng Gan smiled slightly.
"After mass production of Berserkers, I will definitely give priority to the needs of the War Department."
Ke Shoulin nodded, then said to the two people in the training room: "Let's start."
"This will be the 48th victory of the Berserkers! It will also be the 17th victory of Xiaolong." Feng Gan Youyou said.
Before Feng Gan finished speaking, the two people in the training ground activated at the same time, and two radiant figures of gold and red collided with each other.
The two completely different energies of gold and red exploded, and the energy shock wave visible to the naked eye instantly swept across the entire training room.
The first collision between the two was obvious in the difference between strength and weakness.
Ke Long controlled the berserker, took a step back, and then stood firm again. The light golden energy arc was like a hard rock, but it trembled slightly and quickly recovered.
Compared to Ke Long's powerful defense power, he controlled the thunder's speed and retreated for several meters in a row before barely controlling the balance of his body. The red arc instantly dissipated into countless broken electric snakes and spreading towards the surroundings.
As Feng Gan expected, the Berserkers had an absolute advantage at the beginning.
"good!"
Ke Shoulin had amazing eyesight and could see at a glance that the two mechanical weapons had an essential gap. Feng Gan said that the powerful performance of the Berserker was one generation ahead of all active third-level mechanical weapons.
In the training ground, Ke Long and Ji fought like storm and thunder. The difference between the two was visible to the naked eye. Ke Long suppressed Ji throughout the whole process. Whether it was speed, strength, defense, reflex, or even energy explosion, the Berserker completely crushed the Thunder.
Looking at the battle between the two, Ke Shoulin nodded with satisfaction. He suddenly changed his voice and asked:
"I heard that you have had some small conflicts with Tan Qiu recently?"
As an ally, Feng Gan did not hide it and nodded.
"Tan Qiu also aimed at the chief position, but she still has little experience, so she tried to get to the top by attacking me."
"I heard that Tan Qiu will also launch a berserker, and you will have a head-on battle with your berserkers at that time." Ke Shoulin said.
"That's true." Feng Gan nodded.
"At the critical moment of Berserker production, a design drawing leak occurred in my laboratory. Then, news came from Tan Qiu that he was about to launch a Berserker fight with me. It was just a small trick that was not allowed to be on the table, so don't care."
Ke Shoulin frowned. Although the shelter has a population of hundreds of thousands, the entire circle is so big when it reaches their level. Tan Qiu has also entered their circle while advancing to the fourth-level researcher. Ke Shoulin has had several contacts with this newly promoted fourth-level researcher, and his impression of Tan Qiu is quite good.
He was also a little confused about whether Feng Gan's words were giving Qiu an eye drop or whether it was true.
"Someone asked me to persuade you not to be so irritated with Tan Qiu. If you continue to fight like this, it will be of no benefit to both of you. In the end, don't fight both sides and get the others a bargain."
After Feng Gan was silent for a while, he sighed softly.
"It's not that I want to fight Tan Qiu, it's that Tan Qiu wants to step on me, but don't worry, as long as Chief Morin is still there, our fight will not intensify to an irreversible level."
Hearing Chief Morin's name, Ke Shoulin's face changed slightly, but he still nodded.
In addition to half of the special status of the biology and mechanical laboratory comes from the continuous output of the laboratory, the other half comes from the chief Molin.
Chief Molin firmly controlled the entire laboratory and blocked all the evil hands trying to get involved in the laboratory. Even several directors were blocked by him.
Now that Morin is old, he is about to step down as two vital positions, chief of the laboratory and member of the board of directors. The position he left behind has become a mouth-watering and numerable people staring at it in the darkness.
However, with Morin's skills, as long as he does not retreat for a day, the evil wolves in the dark can only watch and never dare to stretch out their hands blatantly.
Originally, Feng Gan was the most likely candidate to take over Molin's position, but now Tan Qiu's emergence has caused many changes in things. Behind Tan Qiu, there is obviously support from others.
But until now, Feng Gan didn’t know who was behind Tan Qiu?
Is it another director, or Moline himself?
"Molin seems to have paid attention to the Berserker showdown between you. Will there be any accidents?" Ke Shoulin asked.
A ruthless look flashed in Feng Gan's eyes, but his expression was as calm as water.
"With Kelong's strength and the strength of the Berserkers, can this duel be unexpected? Isn't this battle you have seen with your own eyes enough to dispel your concerns?"
In the trial field, Ji, who had been struggling to support him, was finally seized by Ke Long, and hit Ji's chest with all his strength like a golden meteor. Under the violent force, the hard mechanical armor shattered in response to the sound, Ji was knocked away by Ke Long like a toy.
After one punch, Ke Long transformed his suppression advantage into a victory. He followed the trend and kicked Ji to a coma. Then he punched him out, directly blew Ji's head, easily winning the 48th victory of the Berserkers.
The golden light dissipated, revealing a young and rebellious face.
"Vulnerable!" Ke Long said disdainfully.
Faced with Ke Long's tyranny, Ke Shoulin was unmoved at all. A third-level genetic warrior like Ji no longer had the hope of advancing to the fourth level. He was just a consumable, and he died if he died.
As the deputy minister of the War Department, he has killed more people, and such small things can be easily smeared.
Feng Gan shook his head secretly in his heart. Ke Long's tyrannical and bloodthirsty actually brought him many negative effects. It was just because of Ke Shoulin's existence that these negative effects did not erupt. Once Ke Shoulin's protection is lost, with Ke Long's nature, something big will happen sooner or later.
Ke Shoulin did not notice Feng Gan's subtle expression changes. After seeing the strength of the Berserker with his own eyes, he began to think about the subsequent things.
The Berserker's powerful performance is beyond any third-level mechanical armament he knows. There is indeed no possibility of capsizing, but Tan Qiu is not a fuel-efficient lamp. With his understanding of Tan Qiu, she will never engage in such a loss-loss duel.
"Who is driving the Berserker on Tanqiu? The War Department has not received Tanqiu's application, and there is also news from the Wasteland Respite Department." Ke Shoulin asked.
Although there are many people with peak third-level fighting domain abilities in the Black Steel Shelter, the strongest practical ability must be the Battle Department, followed by the Waste Respite Department, and the other departments are relatively poor.
In the past, the mechanical armed tests were all selected from the War Department or the Waste Response Department. Now the duel is imminent, but neither side has received an application from Tan Qiu, which makes Ke Shoulin a little confused.
"Since Xiaolong is fighting here, Tan Qiu will inevitably have some concerns and may not select personnel from the shelter." Feng Gan said.
As the most powerful department of the Heigang Shelter, the War Department has the largest number of combatants and has a strong voice within the Heigang Shelter. As the deputy minister of the War Department, Ke Shoulin is expected to take over as the next minister. Since his only son chose to fight, no matter who Tan Qiu chooses, the other party will inevitably worry about Ke Shoulin's existence.
This is Feng Gan's open conspiracy. He and Ke Shoulin each took their own needs. If Tan Qiu wants to break the deadlock and completely avoid Ke Shoulin's influence, he can only go to the shelter to choose people outside.
Ke Shoulin knew this very well, but the reason why he agreed to let Ke Long fight was because the new berserker in Feng Gan's hands had great significance and could push the entire third-level mechanical armament forward one generation. Ke Long and it could bring many invisible benefits.
Since Ke Long is bound to the new Bereavement warrior, this time the confrontation between Feng Gan and Tan Qiu can only win but not lose.
Although Feng Gan's Berserker showed extremely powerful performance, in Ke Shoulin's eyes, even if there is only one percent of the chance of failure, it means risk.
If Tan Qiu selects personnel from the shelter, Ke Shoulin has ten thousand ways to ensure that this showdown is foolproof. However, Tan Qiu selects personnel from the shelter, which he did not expect.
Ke Shoulin's eyes flashed. Although he could not affect the people outside the shelter, he could affect the assessment personnel of the crisis management department. If people outside the shelter want to join this duel, he must be able to enter the shelter.
"Is there any more detailed information about whom Tan Qiu is selecting?"
Feng Gan laughed. Ke Shoulin was indeed as he expected. He had extremely high investment in Ke Long and was unwilling to let him bear any risk.
This showdown has attracted the attention of Chief Morin. If he takes action, even if Tan Qiu’s candidates can be prevented from entering the shelter, it will also arouse Morin’s dissatisfaction.
At this critical moment, who will take over the next chief of the laboratory, Molin's recommendation plays a crucial role. Nothing that may make Molin disgusted can be done by himself.
But if Ke Shoulin put pressure on him, the situation would be different.
"According to the news I received, Tan Qiu selected the Berserker user, a wilderness hunter named Qi Yuan, and a second-level wilderness hunter!"
"Second level?" Ke Shoulin was obviously stunned for a moment.
Although the gap between the second and third orders is not impossible to cross, the upper limit gap between the second and third orders is very huge.
Ke Long has nine third-level abilities, and is an absolute strongman among the third-level abilities. A second-level abilities, no matter how powerful his ability is, he will never be able to catch up with Ke Long's back.
The huge gap between the second-level ability person and Ke Long is no longer something that a piece of mechanical armed forces can smooth out.
Tan Qiu randomly chose a peak third-level from other departments, which was more reliable than a second-level wilderness refugee.
