Pedlio's boss Thor is an orthodox genetic warrior. As for whether he is the strongest one in this area, it is hard to say.
The group left the tavern and headed south.
What surprised Zhang Xiaoman was that the location of the opponent's stronghold was the black market he was about to find.
"Is it possible that this guy is the one I'm looking for?"
A guess emerged in his mind.
There is no reason why I say this.
Although some military equipment that cannot be bought outside often appears on the black market, brand new Corona combat uniforms like this are still very rare.
So, this shouldn't be just a coincidence.
Sure enough, when Zhang Xiaoman followed the group of people to the destination, he found that it was indeed as Yang Yangyang described, and it was confirmed that it was the same place.
Compared to other places, the number of people in the black market is obviously much larger.
This is a large bar-like place where homeless people sit in a daze, with no hope in their empty eyes.
Many big men dressed as mercenaries gathered together and chatted with each other. Some of them held wine glasses in their hands, which contained the kind of pink rum that Zhang Xiaoman had just drank.
This kind of thing will be one of the few things they can produce themselves after the end of the world.
Zhang Xiaoman also saw many humans whose bodies had been modified.
Some of these people were equipped with mechanical arms, some were equipped with mechanical legs, and some even had a leaking hole in their cheeks with metal eyeballs embedded inside.
They should all have been injured in previous missions and came back here to have their biological prostheses reinstalled.
The shop opened by Thor is at the end of the innermost steps of the black market and is easily identifiable.
This is a middle-aged man who looks to be in his thirties, with a strong and well-proportioned figure, and a sense of vicissitudes unique to a mature uncle.
Although he also has long ears, what is different from Nari and the others is that Thor's appearance is more like the Western race on Aquamarine.
He also has short blond hair, and he is somewhat similar to Thor in movies and TV shows.
Zhang Xiaoman is no stranger to this type of face. He has seen one or two of them in the survivor camp.
According to Nari's description, these people are all Odok people, that is, people from the Empire.
In other words, they have a bloodline that is more on the Imperial side.
"Boss, boss... I found the person you want. He is also a genetic warrior. He is very strong and can knock Maldo away with one punch."
Pedlio, a rugged man, showed a submissive appearance that was inconsistent with his appearance.
Several other people also subconsciously stopped when they saw the man in front of them, unwilling to get close.
It can be seen that these people must be very afraid of him.
Thinking about it, after all, if an outsider wants to be the leader of these local bullies, what happened when they first met must not have been wonderful.
Upon hearing this, Thor immediately put down the parts he was playing with, raised his head and looked in the direction of Zhang Xiaoman.
"Are you a genetic warrior?"
After sizing up the other person for a moment, he suddenly asked suspiciously.
Zhang Xiaoman is now restraining his awakener aura, which prevents Thor from sensing any pressure from him.
According to Thor's own professional judgment, the appearance shown by the other party was simply not what a genetic warrior could possess.
Zhang Xiaoman did not explain too much to him, but stretched out his palm and lightly pressed it on the table in front of him. In an instant, the entire table seemed to have suffered a huge impact and immediately collapsed to the ground.
"this……"
Thor's footsteps that were walking towards this place stopped. He looked down at the scattered metal tables, then looked up at Zhang Xiaoman's right hand, with a flash of horror in his eyes.
"What a terrifying power..."
He exclaimed secretly in his heart.
Even as an instructor of the Federation's Eighth Mecha Corps, he could never match the level of strength shown by the opponent.
You know, although the metal table in front of you looks very inconspicuous and rusty, it is made of industrial gallium alloy.
It is really difficult to destroy it like this with pure physical strength.
And Thor noticed that when the opponent was exerting force just now, there was no extra movement at all.
Just a simple press of it produced such power, which he thought was absolutely unmatched.
"This kind of power...is not like an awakened person, but a bit like a mutant..."
He murmured to himself, and couldn't help but look at the man in front of him again.
I saw that the other party was wearing strange clothes that were mixed with several colors. Although it looked a bit like the dress style from the planet Odok, Thor was very sure that it was a dress.
This can be seen from the loose and convenient structure of the clothes.
This should be a costume used for combat!
The other person didn't seem to be very old. He had the face of a pure Ancient Ling star, and there were no muscles on his body. He didn't look like he could possess that kind of power at all.
"But...if he was a mutant, he shouldn't look like this..."
Thor still couldn't understand it.
"Are you...really a genetic warrior...?"
He asked the question again, but this time the context was completely different from before.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally understood what he meant.
The other party asked this question because he was probably not sure whether he was a genetic warrior or a mutant.
He has been on Gu Lengxing for a while, and he still knows something about the special professions here.
Unlike genetic warriors, mutants are physically stronger humans.
Such people usually appear in the black market in the aphotic zone, which is where he is now.
Mutants are created by illegal individuals conducting private human experiments.
The genetic warriors were formed by the federal army's rational modification and guidance of human genes.
One of the two is rough, seeking power regardless of the consequences.
The other is to transform in line with the evolutionary path of life, mainly focusing on control. Although the improvement in physical fitness is small, there are no sequelae.
Generally speaking, mutants are superior to orthodox genetic warriors in terms of strength, speed, etc., but because of this, their physical appearance will undergo various changes that are beyond ordinary people.
For example, it has a tail, or its body is covered with scales.
In short, one look can tell that he is not a normal person.
Give the simplest example.
When he was on Aquamarine, Markula himself was an orthodox genetic warrior who had been transformed, and the humanoid monsters he created were mutants.
Therefore, this is why Su Ya has obviously undergone transformation, but her strength is not as good as the original "Four Ambassadors".
After all, the purpose of genetic warrior transformation is to control mechas, not simply to fight hand-to-hand.
Now, it is reasonable for Thor to ask such a question.
However, when faced with the other party's question, Zhang Xiaoman did not give an answer immediately.
He is neither a genetic warrior nor a mutant, and is completely different from the professional system that the opponent understands.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head slightly and said:
"I am not a genetic warrior..."
When Thor heard this, a look of relief suddenly appeared on his face.
The subordinates on the side looked bitter, feeling that they had screwed up what the boss had told them this time, and they didn't know what kind of punishment they would be punished for.
"If you're not a genetic warrior, you're a mutant..."
Thor looked at the other person's body again, secretly guessing that hidden under his clothes was a body covered with black scales.
"However, although it is a bit different from my requirements, from what I see, you are not too mutated. You should be able to wear the Corona combat uniform..."
"Corona combat uniform?"
Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused and didn't know why the other party said that.
"I believe Pedlio has already told you that the purpose of our trip this time is to find the base where I stayed before."
Thor began to explain what happened.
"It's in a wilderness outside the city. It's surrounded by very dangerous Savarudo. I'm afraid it would be difficult for me to get there smoothly..."
"So, I need a helper, but ordinary mutants cannot meet my requirements. They are too big to wear the Corona combat uniform, and they cannot leave the city..."
As he spoke, he looked at Zhang Xiaoman again, breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"But you look like a nice guy. Although you are a mutant, you are reminded that instant noodles are just like ordinary humans. In this way, you don't have to worry about not being able to put on the combat uniform."
"I see."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, understanding the other party's intention.
"Then where is the base you mentioned? How far is it from here?"
Thor didn't seem to be afraid that he would regret it after hearing the information, and he told his destination happily.
"To be honest, before the Scarlet Doomsday happened, I was an instructor of the Federation's Ninth Mecha Corps, working in a secret defense line in the local wilderness."
"It can be said that only I know the location there, and the materials inside are also very rich. As long as we go there, we will definitely gain a huge harvest."
"As for the specific distance, I estimated it to be about two hundred kilometers. As long as we speed up, we can definitely arrive before dawn..."
"You have also seen the current situation. The population in the aphotic zone is increasing and the food is getting less and less. If this continues, the place will soon be paralyzed. We must find other ways, otherwise we can only Waiting to die..."
"If you are willing, then I can give you half of the resources in the base as a reward for our transaction..."
Following Thor's narration, Zhang Xiaoman also learned about the other party's origin.
It turns out that the base where this guy was stationed before is considered a relatively secret defense point, and usually only high-level commanders in the federal army know the specific location. It's no wonder that Suya, an ordinary mecha warrior, doesn't know.
Thinking of the mere two hundred kilometers distance mentioned by the other party, Zhang Xiaoman felt even more relieved.
Although this distance seems to be a long way for ordinary people, it is almost impossible to reach it on foot in one night.
But in the eyes of him as an awakened person, isn't that just a matter of minutes?
What kind of mutant beasts, what kind of aberrations, and those obstacles on the road are just decorations.
Thor on the side also looked at him expectantly, waiting for the deal to be concluded.
"Well...if that's the case..."
Finally, Zhang Xiaoman spoke.
But just when he was halfway through his words, he suddenly remembered a burst of noise outside the shop, accompanied by several screams.
"ah!!"
A thin man was thrown in directly from the door. He was one of Thor's men.
"Damn sissy! Get out of here! Will you just huddle in your bed and cry!?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice sounded, and a tall figure walked in from the door.
During this process, because his body was too tall, the entire door could not accommodate him, so he could only enter with his head lowered.
"Click!"
The man saw that he was looking for trouble, so he just pulled it, and immediately removed the frame of the metal door, and passed through smoothly.
Its height is estimated to be at least two meters three, its body is covered with muscles as hard as steel, and there are many sharp bone spurs on its knees and other joints, which is very ugly.
Mutant!
The identity of the visitor was obvious. He was a mutant whose body had been violently transformed.
"Tieguang! What are you going to do!"
Pedlio recognized the man.
"What are you doing? Haha..."
The big man known as Iron Gut sneered, and then walked straight towards Thor.
"I heard that you are the strongest one in this black market? All the resources have gone into your pocket?"
Tie Dan stood still beside the table, his tall body blocking the light of the torch and casting a large shadow.
"When will it be your turn to be the boss of our aphotic zone, a genetic sissy?"
He looked arrogant and seemed to be very disdainful of the strength of Tolki warriors.
But it is true that in the past, when mutants faced off against genetic warriors, it would be difficult for them to take advantage because of the high-tech auxiliary combat equipment in the opponent's hands.
However, times have changed now.
Since the advent of the Scarlet Doomsday, all high-tech equipment has become unusable, and the genetic warriors have also lost their most advantageous weapons.
Compared to mutants whose physical fitness exceeds that of ordinary people, and even reaches the level of alien beasts, in terms of pure close combat ability, Thor is no match at all.
