Hive City, Upper City, Jungle Hunting Ground.

"Ze Luo...can you see where the weakness of this guy in front of you is?...Ze Luo? Ze Luo?"

Ke Lan called out to the three-no monster girl in his heart, but the other party didn't give any response, as if she was asleep.

The black armor transformed by Ze Luo is still attached to Ke Lan's body, but when Ke Lan and Wilson fought just now, the black armor did not help him resist any attacks. Ke Lan originally thought it was because of Ze Luo's ability.

The reason for being imprisoned, but now it seems that the troubles Ze Luo has encountered may not stop there...

"You don't have to call it," Nieto apparently sensed Ke Lan's thoughts, "A creature like this that uses his blood as its raw material simply doesn't dare to be unrestrained in his kingdom. This is suppression from the source.

"

"Oh, I know." Ke Lan said expressionlessly, then quickly pulled the trigger and shot Wilson's head.

Wilson's headless body suddenly froze, fell straight backwards, and hit the ground with a muffled sound.

But the next second, the originally stiff corpse suddenly twitched, and every muscle under the skin was spasming and squirming. It seemed that something was gathering along the blood vessels of its body toward the neck... Soon

, a large amount of blood foam began to pour out from the fracture in the neck. As soon as the blood foam came into contact with the air, it began to solidify and turned into tissues similar to muscles and fascia.

"You can't kill him. His ability is infinite regeneration. Even if you kill him to pieces, as long as there is one cell left that has not been completely destroyed, this cell will continue to divide and differentiate... just like a fertilized egg.

It's the same, but it takes several months and a lot of nutrients for a fertilized egg to develop into an embryo, but it only takes a few hours to return to its original appearance."

"It can multiply indefinitely without nutrients... So, this thing is more powerful than cancer cells? If the crazy people at the research institute knew about it, they would probably treat this thing as a treasure, right?" Ke Lan couldn't help but

He complained in his heart.

"Of course mortals can't understand his abilities." Nieto's voice sounded all around - this thing has been monitoring Ke Lan's thinking, and a lot of information related to the Ark was also read from Ke Lan's memory.

.

If there is an ability that Ke Lan hates the most, it's probably this kind of mind-reading ability.

The previous "Pope" Chiron also had similar abilities, but Chiron gained the mind-reading ability at the cost of becoming a corpse - Ke Lan once thought that Chiron was in such a "tragic situation" because he failed to fuse with the living armor.

But in fact, when Ke Lan saw Chiron for the first time, Chiron was already in an irreversible state of decay.

Nieto's abilities are very similar to Chiron's... No, Chiron's abilities should be very similar to Nieto's. After all, Nieto's existence was much earlier than Chiron's.

"Since you can hear the voice in my heart, you should know what I am going to do, right?" Ke Lan dug out an incendiary bomb from his backpack, quickly deactivated the fuse, and then completely disassembled the top part.

Come down.

This is a special incendiary bomb jointly developed by the weapons and equipment R&D department of the institute and the military industrial enterprises under the Soma Consortium. It is not filled with conventional napalm, but from an Alpha star plant called "Eternal Burning Mantle"

The burning ability of this concentrated substance extracted from lava is even more terrifying than the secretion of lava cantharides. It only takes a piece the size of a fingernail to burn a person until no ashes are left, and a whole incendiary bomb can be thrown out.

, can even burn a thunder beast to death.

"You said that as long as one cell remains, this guy can be resurrected indefinitely. So if I smear this thing all over his body and then light it on fire, will he still be able to stand up from a pile of carbonized proteins?"

"Yes." Nieto said firmly, "You should know that in the old era, there were creatures like the 'Phoenix' in myths and stories all over the earth. In the East, it was called the Phoenix, and in the West, it was the Phoenix.

Called Phoenix... they can rise from the ashes and never die."

"Are you trying to tell me that this guy's real name is not Wilson, but Phoenix?" Ke Lan stared at the already grown head and said - Sen Bai's skull has been fully formed, and the bones have also been

The tendons and blood vessels are attached, and the two somewhat turbid eyeballs are squirming slightly in the orbits. When the external muscles and skin are completely grown, Wilson's head will return to the way it was before being shot by Ke Lan.

.

"'Phoenix' is an ability, a name given by the people who once lived in this hive." Nieto replied, and it seemed to be happy to share this information with Ke Lan, "You already know, after the super eclipse

, the eroded individuals will turn into various forms that are extremely weird in the eyes of humans,

At the same time, according to their different mutant forms, they will also gain different abilities... Although there are many samples, people have still tried their best to summarize more than a hundred representative mutant forms and abilities. The person you see now is

Belongs to 'Phiknis' - the undead who are infinitely reborn."

"Is he a corpse?" Although Ke Lan had such a guess, he had never been able to confirm it until now Nieto told him: Wilson is "Phoenix".

"His corrosion level has exceeded the critical point, but through some means, he has retained his sanity." Nieto said, "As a possessor of the 'Phoenix' ability, he cannot be killed by conventional means.

Any part has the ability to be infinitely restored, so from the outside, as a corpse, he is no different from a non-mutated human being."

"It's interesting..." Ke Lan did not pour the charge in the incendiary bomb on Wilson, but held his chin and looked at Wilson as he thought, "If he is a corpse, he still remains.

With a human appearance and a human mind...then wouldn't he be the perfect evolution that the undead crew would dream of?

'? Both the Undead Crew and the Alpha Civilization should be eager to gain the power of the gods through corroding. However, the biggest drawback of corroding is that super-corroded individuals will lose their minds and gradually be drained of life by it.

And the soul...but the existence of 'Phoenix' perfectly solves this problem."

Ke Lan continued: "I don't understand why the undead crew would send such a 'perfect evolution' to carry out such a dangerous mission. If I were them, I would definitely do my best to study Wilson's body structure and changes... If

If it can be reproduced, wouldn't that be the 'perfect evolution of all mankind' that they want?"

"Do you think no one has thought about it like this?" Nieto sneered, "The human beings who once lived on this planet were far more numerous than the population on your Ark, and there were also many individuals who were eroded into corpses."

Phoenix' exists...but 'Phoenix' is not perfect...

This is a gift from Him. You don’t think that a despicable thief can defy His will by relying on that little gift that is insignificant to Him, right? Phoenix’s ‘eternal life’ is only a relative term. As long as He is willing, He can do it at any time.

It can turn the phoenix into ashes and never be reborn again."

"In other words, this guy has a time bomb hidden in his body that may explode at any time, and no one knows the countdown of this time bomb... Oh, let me put it another way, this is not a time bomb, but a remote control

The bomb, the remote control is in the hand of that god, can you understand it that way?" Ke Lan raised the gun again, aimed at Wilson's head, and exploded his newly formed head again.

Ke Lan still has four bullets left, so he can "kill" Wilson four more times. Even if all the bullets are used up, the remaining engineer shovel can smash Wilson's head... Ke Lan can always be in Wilson's state of rebirth.

state, but could not kill him completely.

"What the remote control said is not entirely correct. He doesn't even bother to pay attention to such a small existence..."

"Then how do you detonate the bomb in this guy's body?" Ke Lan weighed the engineer shovel in his hand, raised it high, and then slashed it down hard, cutting off one of Wilson's arms.

Compared with the corroded corpses that Ke Lan had encountered before, Wilson's physical strength was not high. It was about the same as ordinary people. He probably spent all his skill points on rebirth and recovery, and had no extra points to spend on other things.

Attribute... No wonder Wilson used modern technological means when he ambushed Ke Lan. With his own combat power, it is difficult to pose any threat to Ke Lan.

But an enemy that cannot be killed is enough to haunt people.

What's more, Nieto and Wilson have become temporary "allies". What Nieto needs is not an ally with strong combat power, but a chess piece that can complete some operations for it that it cannot complete.

Ke Lan brings endless trouble.

If you want to deal with Nieto, you have to deal with Wilson.

But even if Wilson is chopped into pieces, burned to ashes, and buried in a deep pit, it won't be long before he can still crawl out intact...unless that bullshit god suddenly has a whim and takes back the creature named "Phoenix"

ability...

"I don't know." Nieto said, "That is the power that belongs to the great gods. I can't figure it out."

"Even if you knew, you wouldn't tell me." Ke Lan curled his lips and spat on Wilson, "After all, I am your enemy, and he is your ally, even if it is temporary

Sexual allies.”

"No, you are not my enemy. We can definitely become friends, as long as you are willing to embrace the grace of the great god... We will not only become friends, but we will eventually become one, regardless of each other... and become part of the great god. This

This is the most perfect ending for a biological individual," Nieto said.

Its tone was like that of devout believers in heretical sects, which made Ke Lan feel disgusted.

"Is it such an honor to be eaten as food? Then what is the difference between you and the meat animals in the farm..."

Ke Lan suddenly paused in the middle of his words. As if he thought of something, he repeated a few words in his previous sentence: "Eat it as... nourishment...?"

"You...what are you going to do?" Nieto's tone showed a subtle change. It was obvious that he was spying on Ke Lan's inner thoughts at this time.

"I can't kill 'Phoenix', but I can 'eat' 'Phoenix'. If I have the ability, he can try to be reborn in my body."

As soon as Ke Lan finished speaking, the living armor on his body suddenly shot out countless spikes, covering him like a sea urchin. These spikes penetrated Wilson's body and lifted him into the air.

Wilson's originally plump and muscular body quickly shriveled up, and his blood-red living armor became very bright, looking like the painted surface of a luxury sports car.

"This guy... seems to be a great supplement to living armor." Ke Lan said with emotion.

In just ten seconds, the existence of "Wilson" was completely eliminated from this world, along with his ability to be infinitely reborn... and the power of the living armor increased hundreds of times... It is no exaggeration to say

, now Ke Lan can directly use the living armor to condense a big thing like a Blasphemer mecha...

There is even some energy left.

The sporadic "nutrients" fed back to Ke Lan by the living armor allowed Ke Lan to directly break through the limit that no one had ever broken through on the Ark (at least according to the official data), and climbed to about thirteen levels of enhancement in one fell swoop.

human level.

"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect this to be a Shiquan Dabu Pill..." Ke Lan took back the living armor and looked around.

Not only was Wilson's body completely absorbed, even the blood and minced meat Ke Lan that had just been splashed out did not fall. All the ground within a radius of 100 meters was turned over by the tentacles condensed from the living armor, even those stained

The bloody bark was ripped off by the living armor and swallowed alive.

"No...impossible!" For the first time, there was a hint of fear in Nieto's voice, "'Phoenix' can't be eaten! For other individuals, even if they are eroded individuals, it can't be eaten."

It can't be swallowed... It's not a 'Shiquan Dabu Pill' at all, it should be highly poisonous! If you swallowed 'Phoenix', your corrosion level should be directly off the charts... Why, why are you still

No super eclipse?!"

"I don't know either." Ke Lan replied to him what Nieto had just said, "Maybe I'm special? It's probably for this reason that the Undead Crew Association values ​​me so much? It's a pity that I

I have my own will, and I don’t want to be like Wilson and become a puppet at their mercy.”

"No...no...you are not human at all...you are a corpse! You have been a corpse for a long time!" Nieto shouted at the top of his lungs.

[P.S. Thanks for the 400 starting coins rewarded by the opponent who doesn’t know what it is.]
