"No...please...don't..."
"My daughter is only five years old...she can't lose her father...she..."
"Let go! Let go...let me go!"
"Get that thing away...NO!!"
Ignoring the man's pleading, in the transparent isolation room, two Kaleva gangsters, one on the left and one on the right, firmly held the arm of the man who was about to become the experimental subject.
No matter how hard the man struggled, he could only watch helplessly as the third gangster holding a syringe pushed open the door and walked towards him.
Soon after...
Poof!
The needle pierced the skin, and there was an unknown dark red liquid inside. It was squeezed little by little and injected into the man's body.
【Zhuer Reagent】
This is Kaleva's largest research achievement.
There are three forms of Zhuoe, gas, liquid, and solid crystal that only exists in legends and theory.
Under normal circumstances, the turmoil appears in the "gas" state, with a wide area but poor absorption. Now, by studying the "Great Emperor's Relic", Kaleva has mastered the ability to refine and concentrate the "gaseous" turmoil, and evolved into "Liquid" technology, this is [Zouer Reagent].
They can infect the user with a large amount of evil in a very short period of time, causing great irritation. If the target is an ordinary person, they will be forced to undergo the mutation of a "Evil Transformer".
Just like what's happening in the room right now.
I saw that after doing all this, the gangsters immediately released their grip on the man and quickly withdrew, leaving only the man who had begun to curl up on the ground.
"Uh...ahhh..."
"So hot...so hot...water...give me water..."
In the first few seconds, the man's whole body twitched. The Zhuhe reagent injected into his body began to flow throughout his body along with his blood. Blood-red lines soon appeared on the man's skin.
Next, he quickly got up from the ground, began to tear his clothes, and then hugged his head tightly, shaking from side to side like crazy.
"Stop it! Don't...don't scream in my ear..."
"My brain is going to explode...get out..."
"Shut up...I told you to shut up!!"
The man scratched his eyes and ears with his fingers. This is because turmoil can produce violent hallucinations and demented speech. When the human body cannot bear these, it will try to offset it by destroying its own senses. A sense of confusion.
Unfortunately, the bad luck directly affects the mental level, so no matter how much the man in the room scratches his eyes and ears until he bleeds, there is no relief at all.
Outside the transparent room, there are many gangsters who look like researchers. They are holding various instruments and data, as if they are constantly recording the data of the whole process.
The obvious leader among them is a thin man wearing a gray coat and long messy hair...
Dr. Lorca adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose.
He narrowed his eyes and stared at the crazy man who was merging with Zhuo E in the transparent room.
The previous processes are all very similar, but the key lies in the back.
Can we recreate the miracle of this afternoon...
Dr. Lorca is looking forward to it.
"No...I don't want to be a monster..."
"Anna is still waiting for me...still waiting for her father to come home...I...I..."
"Can't lose...can't!!"
"I want to...go home...pick...home...Anna...Anna..."
A miracle happened!
As the man roared, the blood-red lines that shone strangely on his body stopped spreading, and there was a faint feeling that they were about to shrink back.
Correspondingly, the man's mental state has also improved a lot. He no longer harms his body, but clenches his teeth, as if he is trying his best to fight against something.
Outside the transparent room, many researchers expressed surprise, and some even cheered directly to the leading man in gray coat:
"Doctor! We seem to have succeeded! Your newly improved [D-01] Zouer reagent has really increased the concentration and greatly enhanced the stability..."
Before the researcher of Kaleva was halfway through his excited words, he was interrupted by a sudden burst of miserable screams from the transparent room.
"No...ahhhh!"
Everyone's eyes were drawn back again, and they saw that the blood-red lines on the man's body that had been declining a while ago were now coming back at lightning speed and covering the man's body.
Immediately afterwards, the man's body began to rapidly expand and twist. In just a few seconds, it completely lost its human shape and turned into an ugly, sarcoma-like monster.
This is the fate of all doomed people who fail.
reduced to...
A rotten corpse.
boom! boom! boom!
A few quick gunshots killed the newly mutated corpse and shot its head off. It was obvious that it had been prepared long ago. This set of procedures was extremely skillful.
"Hey..." Dr. Lorca sighed.
He frowned, his previous joy disappeared, and with a distressed expression, he slammed his fist on the table in front of him.
"Damn it! Isn't the concentration of 36% still not enough? Judging from the current situation, if you want to achieve a success probability of more than 50%, you must at least have a reagent with a concentration of more than 40%. Can..."
"How can such a high concentration be purified, you bastard!"
Dr. Lorca kept grabbing his already extremely messy long hair, and looking down from his position, he found that there were many more transparent rooms like before.
This is the most realistic scene inside the core and most confidential "factory" in Kaleva's rear area.
In addition to these experimental rooms, there is an extremely eye-catching large boiler-like machine in the center of the factory. The turbid liquid used for injection is continuously produced from here.
In the groove in the center of the boiler, there is a mysterious object that is inlaid with a square shape, like a star, but is wrapped in a rich reddish-brown mist.
It floats in the center of the boiler and is isolated by several layers of special "protective covers". It rotates regularly at a constant speed within the cover.
With each rotation of it, the overflowing red mist becomes a little more intense. It is then extracted by the machinery and equipment in the boiler to use the mist full of turbidity as raw materials, and then continues to process and purify it. Finally, Produce reagents.
So, it's not hard to see...
The four-sided "Scarlet Star" in the center of the boiler is the foundation of everything. It is the top priority for the operation of the entire Kaleva secret factory!
"If you want to improve the stability, you have to lower the concentration... But if the concentration is not increased, the stimulation will not be enough... Isn't this an endless loop! Damn it! Damn it!"
"How did the "Empire of Ashes" five hundred years ago manage to produce Doomslayers stably! How did the "Great Emperor" refine Zhuo'e! Why can't we do it now... Damn it! Damn it! ! "
The thin, long-haired man was frantically writing and drawing on the desktop, but he was like a scientist whose research had reached a dead end. He couldn't get the formula he wanted no matter how he calculated it, and he began to become more and more irritated.
"Bo...Doctor..." Some researchers behind him suddenly reminded in a low voice at this time, trying to bring the doctor who was immersed in research back to reality.
Because all I saw was that behind the doctor, a new line of figures slowly appeared in the factory, and the most eye-catching among them was a burly man with a slicked back hair walking at the front.
The strong man wears an eyepatch over his right eye and wears Kaleva's uniform. His thick arms and shoulders hold up the clothes, giving him the impression of a humanoid monster with a huge back and a strong waist. He exudes a dangerous and rough aura.
This is the big man who can be said to cover the sky with one hand in the gathering place of the Black Cave, the Lord of Kaleva, the leader of the largest gang, Farm.
"However, it is not completely without gain... From the experiment just now, we can see that if the subject has a deep obsession with survival, it can indeed increase the probability of evolution. If there are more experimental materials like the one just now, ..."
"Doctor! Doctor!"
The researchers at the back saw Dr. Lorca, who was still talking to himself, a little anxious. They completely mistook the leader who arrived late at night for an airman.
However, Farm raised his hand to indicate that others did not need to say anything. Then he turned his head slightly and said to the Kaleva men he had brought with him:
"Did you all hear the experimental requirements that the doctor just put forward!?"
"Go back and tell those scavengers, stop sending us all the homeless and scavengers, and find more people with families to capture. Only in this way can we produce better research data. Do you understand?"
"Yes...yes! Chief! I will make arrangements right away!"
The gangster under his command stood upright and responded loudly, and the resulting movement finally brought the doctor in gray coat, who was immersed in research, back to reality.
Lorca: "Lord Farm? It's so late, what are you..."
"Today I heard from my subordinates that you have successfully increased the concentration of the Zoe reagent by five percentage points. Such exciting good news. I am too busy during the day and have no time. As soon as I have free time at night, of course I have to come over and take a look. Saw it."
As he spoke, Farm patted the shoulder of the man in gray coat in front of him with his thick big hand and said, "Dr. Luoka, thank you so much for your hard work. We at Kaleva cannot be where we are today without your hard work and hard work." Excellent research results.”
"Thanks for the leader's affirmation, but it's just...excellent results." Luo Ka shook his head mockingly.
"As far as my current research results are concerned, they are nothing compared to the Ash Empire period five hundred years ago. The people of that wasteland era, even though their resources were poor and scarce, were still far behind in using resources. Our current technology can produce reagents with concentrations up to 70%, and there is even the legendary "crystallized" solid state turbidity that I can't even think of now... What a beautiful, dreamy product that would be. ! It’s a pity that I may never see it again in my lifetime..."
Dr. Chang-hair showed a look of strong yearning and regret on his face. For a person like him who is obsessed with scientific research to the point of being a little crazy and paranoid, wealth, power, or women are far inferior to those who study turbidity. The attraction that Er exerted on him.
And it was precisely because of this that Farm fell in love with Lorca that he was so reassuring and friendly towards him, and even chuckled and consoled him:
"There is no need to be so self-denial, doctor. In the wasteland five hundred years ago, the concentration of turbidity in the air was dozens of times higher than what we have now. People in that era were said to have grown up breathing turbidity. It's not too much, but now, with the end of the Wasteland Era, the turmoil has become thinner and thinner, and has even almost completely disappeared. And the achievement of "Liquefying the turmoil" that you have now developed is absolutely amazing even if you look at the entire world. Technology! "
Facing Farm's praise, the doctor was no longer modest. Instead, he turned his attention to the extremely eye-catching core of the boiler in the center of the factory, the "Scarlet Star" that floated quietly and rotated in the air.
"It's a pity this "Great Emperor's Relic". I can feel that its actual role is far more than just using it as a [Zhuohe Radiation Source] like we do now. If we can find a way to truly activate it, ..."
"I have a hunch that it is definitely another one that is comparable to the current [Zhuo'e Reagent]... no, even more advanced than "liquefaction", a technological breakthrough on how to make better use of Zhuo'e! "
Lorca's lament made the leader of Kaleva next to him feel a burning sensation in his heart, and his whole body trembled with excitement. With greedy and eager eyes, he followed the doctor's line of sight and placed it on the "Scarlet Star" as well. superior.
"It doesn't matter, one decade is not enough, then we will study the next ten years! The next ten years!"
"I believe that with your wisdom, Doctor, one day we can turn this "Emperor's Relic" into a treasure that truly belongs to us [Kaleva], and let this "relic" serve us Kaleva! "
Listening to Farm's impassioned speech, Luo Ka pretended to nod in agreement, but in reality, he sneered disdainfully in his heart.
Because what he didn't tell Farm was that as they continued to steal the power of evil from this "Emperor's Relic", the strength of the "Relic" was already far lower than when it was first dug out.
Although it doesn't seem to be different from the appearance now, it is the same as before, but in reality...
Luo Ka roughly estimated that it would be good if it could last for another three or four years, let alone the next ten years.
When the time comes when the evil in the "Scarlet Star" is completely exhausted, this "Emperor's Relic" passed down five hundred years ago will completely malfunction and become worthless garbage. This is why he will Such a pity.
It's like there is a top-notch sports car in front of them, but they don't know how to start the car. The only thing they can do is to pry open the fuel tank and steal the fuel from inside. The key is that they don't know how to put it back again, so they can only wait. After the oil in the car was squeezed out, it was completely scrapped and turned into a useless Tito.
And when that time really comes...
Dr. Lorca shook his head inwardly.
The Kaleva gang has no value for him to continue to stay. The reason why he works for Kaleva now is entirely for the sake of the "Great Emperor's Relic".
As for future plans, Luo Ka is not without them.
Because he had already found out through Kaleva's relationship that on the "church" side of the Black Cave, the priest also secretly hid a "relic of the Great" deep underground in the church.
And according to rumors, the "Emperor's Relic" in the hands of the priest is even more precious, rarer and more powerful than the "Scarlet Star" they have now...
Thinking of this, Luo Ka quietly licked his dry lips.
"Okay, that's it for today's experiment. It's getting late. Let the leader go back and rest early! Turn off the boiler!"
Farm came to the scene in person, so Luo Ka couldn't concentrate on the experiment. It was better to get off work early, so he conveyed his instructions to the gang members in the factory, especially to turn off the boiler.
Consuming less of the evil energy in the "Scarlet Star" would allow him to study in Caleva for a few more years.
In response to this, Farm frowned slightly, obviously feeling a little unhappy, but out of sympathy, he didn't say much, just nodded, and was about to leave.
However, at this moment...
"Doctor... There seems to be something wrong!" The researcher operating the boiler made a panicked voice.
The Kaleva members at the scene had long been able to complete tasks such as shutting down the boiler device with their eyes closed, but this time, when they continued to operate as usual, they found that the equipment seemed to be "malfunctioning" stand up.
They had obviously pulled down the control lever and shut down the boiler. The usual "Scarlet Star" should have followed suit and stopped spinning to release the turbid red mist. However, what appeared in front of them now was not only still floating, but also floating. In the air, even...
As if being stimulated by something, I saw this "Scarlet Star" blocked by layers of [isolation shields] in the eyes of hundreds of Kaleva members in the factory...
Trembling violently.
Such a strange appearance not only stopped Farm, who was about to leave, but even Dr. Lorca was speechless, with a look of disbelief on his face.
He has studied the "Scarlet Star" for nearly ten years, but has never seen this "relic" like this.
If we say that the Kaleva gangsters in the factory are still surprised and curious.
That's in the next moment.
The expressions of everyone in the factory, including Dr. Lorca and leader Farm, instantly turned into one of panic and panic.
because...
Click...click!
It was a small crack that sprouted from the [Isolation Cover]. It was like the beginning of a disaster, and then quickly evolved into a spider web-like terrifying crack. The turbid red mist surrounding the Scarlet Star seemed to A beast that was finally freed from its prison bared its fangs at everyone in the factory.
You know, the "Scarlet Star" was detected as a Class B pollution source at the beginning. Even though they had stolen a lot of evil power and became far worse than before, without the protection of the [Isolation Cover], the released Pollution and turmoil...
It’s definitely not something they can bear!
It will even cause most of the people with weak resistance in the entire factory to be severely infected in an instant. For example, those failed test subjects will turn into zombie monsters in an instant!
How could...how could this happen!
Dr. Lorca had forgotten to escape. His eyes were fixed on the scarlet star that was vibrating at high frequency. Lorca knew clearly that it was not the [Isolation Cover] that had a problem, but that this "Relic of the Great" seemed to be in an instant. The energy has become extremely strong, even stronger than the Zhuoe peak when it was first unearthed!
It's as if...as if...as if he was "awakened"!
in the end...
what happened! !
