Chapter 547 The Footsteps of Fear (please vote for the big chapter)
Zhi——
The dark military boots stepped on the soft and fine dust, making a light and long sound.
The mercenary wearing exoskeleton armor held the Gauss rifle in his hand and slowly climbed the stairs without any fence.
They were careful with every step they took and watched their surroundings vigilantly.
The searchlights overhead illuminated the decaying buildings in the dark night.
The silent night seemed to swallow up everything caught in the darkness.
Click——
A slight sound came from the depths of darkness.
"who?!"
The mercenary standing at the front immediately raised his head and looked towards the direction of the sound in the darkness.
The searchlight above his head shined on an abandoned metal barrel.
It was a fire barrel that the homeless people who once lived here gathered around to keep warm. There were some rotten wood scattered around the fire barrel. They passed by there before, kicked some wood and changed the position of the wood.
The sound just now seemed to come from the sound of rotten wood breaking after changing its position.
"call--"
A sound of relief came from the night.
The three mercenaries formed a triangular formation and continued to walk upward.
They slowly stepped up the stairs and finally placed their feet on the flat floor.
A bright moon hung in the sky, illuminating the hazy night. The soldiers standing at the front looked around. The buildings in the city were lit up with bright lights, and they seemed to be among the bright stars.
Here is the rooftop of this small building. Since the building has not been completed, it only has a simple skeleton. The rooftop is not blocked by any low walls and is a completely flat area.
Looking far away, you can even see the edge of the rooftop that looks like a cliff under the night sky.
The three mercenaries each turned on the search lights above their heads and began to search the surroundings carefully.
"Teams report on search status."
At this time, a calm but powerful voice came from the walkie-talkie on their chests.
"No target found on the first floor."
"No target found on the second floor."
"No target found on the third floor."
······
"No target found on the seventh floor."
The report ended abruptly here. After a short pause, the energetic voice sounded again, "Where's the rooftop?"
"Report," the mercenary walking at the front pressed the button on the intercom. He looked ahead and said slowly, "The rooftop is being explored..."
He raised his head and looked forward as he spoke, but as soon as he was halfway through speaking, he stopped where he was.
His eyes were staring at the depths of the night. Not far ahead, near the edge of the rooftop, a somewhat lonely figure was standing quietly under the moonlight.
The searchlight above the mercenary's head shone on the lonely figure, his blood-stained clothes and his somewhat messy hair.
This is a gentle man.
This was the first thought of the mercenary standing at the front. The man in front of him stood here, acting gentle and harmless, like a scholar who was thinking.
At the same time, the mercenary also knew that this was the target he was looking for, an extremely dangerous and crazy target worth ten million.
He stopped what he was saying, raised his Gauss rifle without hesitation, and pointed it at the figure in the night. At the same time, the two mercenaries behind him took out two reagents at the same time and plunged into the
own body.
Standing on the edge of the rooftop, He Ao looked at the mercenary who raised his gun and pointed it at him, with a smile on his face.
This smile raised little by little, like a lunatic in hell raising the corners of his mouth.
The twisted and crazy face covered up the gentleness just now, bringing extreme depression and chaos.
The mercenary at the front aimed at He Ao and pulled the trigger without hesitation.
The bullets of the Gauss rifle streaked through the void, emitting violent sonic booms.
However, at this moment, the mercenary could no longer see where his bullet was going. The sharp blade penetrated the gap in the exoskeleton armor and pierced his neck, and bright red blood suddenly gushes out like a fountain.
He Ao pulled out the dagger and looked behind the mercenary. At this time, the other two mercenaries had already completed the injection of the reagent.
One of the soldiers glanced at He Ao and suddenly disappeared.
'sneak'
The ability of the D-level talent sequence ‘Assassin’.
The next second, He Ao took half a step back, seemingly dodging some attack, and then stabbed the dagger in his hand into the void beside him.
In an instant, the mercenary who had disappeared appeared. He stabbed He Ao with one hand, but the knife was dodged by He Ao, and he covered the chest that was pierced by He Ao with one hand.
He looked at He Ao with disbelief on his face, seemingly unable to understand how He Ao could see through his disguise.
At the same time, the body of another mercenary suddenly swelled up and hit He Ao with a fist.
What this mercenary is showing at this moment should be the ability of a 'thug', a D-level talent sequence.
He Ao withdrew the dagger, jumped back, and dodged the fist.
The place where he had just been standing was directly hit by a huge hole, and cement and broken bricks flew out.
The swollen mercenary looked overjoyed when he saw the results he had achieved. He immediately took a step forward, waved his huge fist, and hit He Ao.
At this moment, He Ao also raised his head and stared at the mercenary. The sharp dagger spun around in his hand and threw it out, instantly piercing the mercenary's forehead.
boom--
The huge fist did not fall on He Ao in the end, but tilted forward, colliding with the mercenary's huge body, and fell onto the smashed concrete floor.
He Ao looked at the dead mercenary, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the dagger stuck between his eyebrows.
He had not used the power of super memory just now, but had used the power of Jace's own 'donor'. With the help of the method of gathering power in one place and his rich combat experience, he completed three kills.
After being promoted to C level, every use of super memory will put a burden on the body.
Although Jace was originally a transcendent, his physical fitness itself was not good, and his mental state also had some problems. After using super memory, the damage to his body was higher than that of the character who was also in the D-level state in the previous copy.
.
Therefore, He Ao has been controlling the use of super memory and trying his best to use the body's own power.
The previous high-intensity use of super memory in battle had already caused some damage to the body.
After shaking off the blood on the dagger, He Ao looked at the two people who had just been injected with the reagent.
At this moment, the bodies of these two people were decaying and disappearing at a speed that exceeded common sense. In just a few seconds, these powerful flesh and blood bodies decayed into white bones wrapped in exoskeleton armor.
He Ao briefly turned on Super Memory and took a look, and found that their souls had completely disappeared.
The effect of using genetic medicine on humans is completely different from that of using it on animals. When Jess was doing experiments before, animals or alien beasts that had used genetic medicine could temporarily increase their extraordinary power, but the improvement would not be too great.
After death, the body will decay more quickly, but it will not decay so fast.
Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Jace has been using F-level genetic medicines for experiments and has never done excessive experiments. What Jace has observed is only the effect of low-level genetic medicines in an appropriate amount.
These two mercenaries and the red-haired man that He Ao met before used D-level or even C-level genetic medicines to briefly upgrade themselves into corresponding powerful extraordinary beings, and even obtained the complete abilities of corresponding extraordinary beings.
ability.
After their death, their souls disappeared instantly and their bodies decayed rapidly.
It seems that this is a side effect of genetic medicine.
But does this side effect only take effect when death occurs, or are there other triggering conditions, and death is just one of them?
These are not within the scope of Jace's original research, and Ho Ao has no relevant information in his mind. Perhaps the mysterious man and the laboratory he built will have clues.
However, after the battle just now, He Ao already had a basic understanding of the combat effectiveness of the extraordinary being created by the genetic medicine.
The strength of these 'supernormals' who use genetic medicine to gain extraordinary power is weaker than that of normal promoted supernormals. Their strength is about 80% to 90% of that of normal promoted supernormals.
And although they have obtained complete extraordinary abilities, they do not seem to be able to control these abilities to a certain extent as soon as they are promoted. These genetic medicine injectors have shown extraordinary abilities when using their abilities.
There was an obvious feeling of unfamiliarity.
For example, the assassin just now, He Ao did not use the power of super memory, but he still easily found the opponent's location through observation of the surrounding environment and the combat experience accumulated when he was an assassin before.
This is the consequence of not using your ability skillfully and properly.
Even if a genuine 'assassin' comes here, he may not be able to get a good deal from He Ao.
"Group 8, can you hear me?"
On the intercom on the chest of the mercenary who first fell, a strong voice sounded again, "Can you hear me?"
He Ao slowly knelt down and took off the walkie-talkie.
At this time, the person on the intercom seemed to realize something and suddenly shouted, "Jace, are you on the rooftop?"
He Ao did not speak, but turned on the dialogue button on the walkie-talkie, then picked up the walkie-talkie and threw it down the stairwell.
Accompanied by waves of crisp sounds echoing, his figure disappeared between the stairs.
······
"The target is on the rooftop!!!"
"Inject the reagent immediately!!!"
"Block all roads coming down from the rooftop!"
Noisy footsteps echoed in the dilapidated old building.
"Shrink the encirclement and maintain the formation."
A figure who looked like an adjutant was standing by the stairs on the sixth floor, quickly directing other mercenaries to get closer and rush towards the top of the building.
Several three-person groups passed in front of him quickly. He lowered his head and looked down the stairs. There was another group going up the stairs quickly, "What the hell are you doing? Are there any big-assed girls down there? Give it to me.
faster!"
boom--
At this moment, there was a muffled sound behind him.
He turned around and saw a figure standing in the darkness. The light of the searchlight above his head spread forward, and his hands moved almost at the same time.
None of their mercenaries are left alone.
The only ones left alone are the enemies.
He pressed the button of the exoskeleton armor on his body, and the exoskeleton armor with injection function activated instantly.
A silver needle was inserted into his body, and with severe pain, a powerful reagent was injected into his muscles.
The next second, his body suddenly swelled, and muscles like a horned dragon spread along the gaps in the exoskeleton armor, causing fine cracks in the solid alloy structural parts.
While the medicine was being injected, the movements of his hands did not stop. He raised the Gauss rifle hanging on his body and aimed a shot at the black figure without hesitation.
The bullet that shot out instantly penetrated the black shadow's body and opened a big hole in the black shadow's chest.
No, it’s a corpse! It’s a trap!
When the adjutant realized all this, a phantom rushed out from the side instantly, and the cold light was directed towards his neck.
A hazy red light enveloped the adjutant. Undaunted, he raised his arm wrapped in exoskeleton armor and punched the phantom's body.
He Ao looked at the fist coming, and distorted thoughts suddenly appeared in his mind, trying to influence his will and extreme his thoughts.
This feeling was extremely familiar. The last time he had this feeling was when he was in Kaya City.
This is the ability of the C-level talent sequence ‘Paranoia’ in the Church of the God of Chaos.
The last person He Ao met who possessed this talent sequence was Chaos, the favored person of the Church of the God of Chaos.
That was the enemy I met in the Vian dungeon, but now that I think about it, Chaos, who was crazy and wanted to carry out large-scale sacrifices at the time, was so similar to Jace at the moment.
If Jace hadn't always had good intentions, he might have fallen into the arms of the God of Chaos at some point.
He Ao raised the dagger, activated Super Memory instantly, and without hesitation collided with the fist swung by the adjutant.
The sharp dagger easily cut through the alloy of the strong exoskeleton armor, and then pulled it down sharply, cutting off several of the adjutant's fingers.
"ah!"
The adjutant was in pain, but the movements of his hands did not stop. When one fist met He Ao's dagger, his other fist had already been swung out and hit He Ao's lower abdomen.
He Ao did not retreat but advanced instead. He drew in his abdomen sharply and turned his body to one side to prevent the fist from hitting his key parts. At the same time, he used force to send the dagger in his hand towards the adjutant's neck.
At the last moment, the adjutant shrank back, preventing He Ao from cutting off his entire head.
But the sharp dagger still cut his neck open.
At this time, the adjutant's fist also hit He Ao's body.
With a crisp sound, He Ao's figure was thrown out and hit the dusty wall not far away.
"you······"
The adjutant covered his neck, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but there was only the sound of rumbling air breaking through the liquid.
He Ao stood up staggeringly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared again.
The attack just now was not enough to kill the adjutant.
This time, the adjutant did not dare to let He Ao get closer. He covered his neck with one hand, raised the Gauss gun hanging on his body with the other hand, and started shooting at He Ao continuously.
The bullets kicked up dust and mixed in the hazy night.
The surrounding suddenly became quiet.
Everything is so quiet.
The adjutant stared into the silent darkness, the light of the pathfinder shining on the reflective dust.
This brief period of less than a second felt as long as a century.
The Gauss rifle was still charging. The adjutant raised his hand, moved the hand covering his throat, and pressed the intercom on his shoulder.
At this moment, an icy ray of light suddenly swung out from the dust, slicing open his defenseless neck.
······
Rapid footsteps sounded from the stairs, and three mercenaries were walking on the stairs from the fifth to sixth floors.
Suddenly, their footsteps stopped and a round thing rolled down from the sky.
The mercenary at the front subconsciously reached out and caught the thing.
Bright red blood splashed all over him instantly.
He lowered his head and looked at the items in his arms.
The adjutant stared at him with horrified eyes fixed on the last moment.
Then under his gaze, the flesh-and-blood head quickly decayed and turned into pure white bones.
The mercenary's hands shook uncontrollably.
Under the silent night, silent fear spreads in the darkness.
