Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 157 Implantation
On the wall of a secluded alley, a large mixed-color spider with thick legs and well-proportioned limbs was crawling nimbly in front, only stopping for a moment from time to time, as if being alert to its surroundings, and then continuing to crawl forward.

Chen Chuan followed slowly behind.

This thing is a biological combat weapon specially cultivated by Taiana. It was originally used for surprise attacks and assassinations, so it is very sensitive to smells. The crossbow arrow and note left behind just now have the scent of their owner, so they can be traced back.

However, the spider's speed is not fast at this time. This is because in order to stimulate high speed, a lot of energy is needed, and now it is only using the remaining energy after the last awakening.

Because there was no combat mission last time, there is a lot of energy left. Even if he doesn't use it, it will be slowly consumed in stillness, and will always be restless. It is better to make use of it and let it enter a real sleep.

Soon it arrived in front of a house, where the Taiana spider stopped and began to circle around.

Chen Chuan did not do any investigation. He just walked forward and stood by the door to listen for a while. However, he did not feel any movement from inside. So he reached out and pressed lightly on the door. The door lock was opened and he walked in slowly.

After entering, I discovered, as expected, that the people who were originally here had already left, and there was some kind of potion sprayed here, which seemed to be a deodorant or something.

This should be just a temporary resting place, because there is a lot of dust on the table and the things around are very messy. More than one person should have lived here. Judging from the traces, these people left in a hurry because there were some leftovers that they did not take away.

Did they expect someone to follow them, so they evacuated in advance?
Chen Chuan slapped his fist twice. The spider turned around and then crawled outside again. He followed it out and soon arrived at the entrance of an alley. The spider stopped where there were obvious tire tracks.

He looked in the direction of the road and it seemed that the group had left in time by car, and someone should have come to pick them up, so there was no need to chase them further.

I'll have someone check the house later to see if there are any clues. It doesn't matter if nothing is found. If these people are involved in this incident again, they will always come back to find us.

He put down the briefcase, bent his fingers and tapped the back of his hand twice. The fighting spider then crawled back obediently and crawled into the box inside the briefcase, and soon there was no movement.

At this moment, a truck was driving on the road. The group of young people were sitting in the truck, but among them there was a man in his forties with a moustache.

The carriage was very stuffy and there was no view outside. Xinge couldn't help but ask the man, "Mr. Ling, do we have to leave in such a hurry?"

Mr. Ling answered affirmatively: "It is necessary. You shouldn't provoke that expert."

"Isn't he just an expert in horror stories?" another young man blurted out.

Mr. Ling said, "That expert has some connection with the police. Since they were attacked today, I'm afraid they will ask the police to check the nearby residential areas after they return. How many days did you stay there? Su Xin, you passed through so many places when you went back and forth. Do you dare to say that you didn't leave any traces?"

He folded his arms, "It's easy to find you."

Su Xin said: "Will they find us by following the clues?"

Mr. Ling said, "Don't worry, everything will be fine once we move. That room is a long-term unoccupied house we use. The owner has nothing to do with us, so we won't be able to find you."

"Is that expert so troublesome?" The young man over there snorted and looked at Su Xin dissatisfiedly: "Brother Xin, if I had known earlier, you should have gotten rid of him today."

Mr. Ling shook his head and said, "That would only make matters worse, and you may not be able to get rid of him. He is a student of Wuyi College and his skills are extraordinary."

"Yes, he caught my arrow with his bare hands."

Su Xin also had a serious look on his face. Although he had not intended to shoot anyone at first, the arrow was caught before it reached him. It was an emergency. That kind of reaction speed was frightening to think about. If the other party had not been in the car at that time, he might not have been able to escape at all.

"A student of Wu Yi..."

After hearing this, these young people felt a little fear, but also a little yearning, and then more resentment, because if it weren't for the Bloodstain Gang, maybe they could have entered Wuyi to study now.

The truck drove directly out of the city and into the wilderness. Late at night, it entered a camp, which was obviously the stronghold of a wilderness smuggling gang.

When this group of young people walked in led by Mr. Ling, everyone inside looked at them with cold eyes. It felt like they were looking at some kind of commodities, which made them feel very uncomfortable.

Mr. Zero led them to a large tent and gestured to the shelves in front of him, "The weapons you want are here."

"what is inside?"

The young men originally thought that there must be some powerful firearms here, but when they saw there were only a few sealed boxes, and they didn't look like explosives, they felt a little strange.

Mr. Ling smiled, walked over and opened it. After revealing the items inside, the young people were stunned. "What is this?"

After the box was opened, something that looked like a silkworm pupa was revealed. Several limbs extended from it. It seemed to be still alive and was moving slightly, which was uncomfortable to look at.

If Chen Chuan and others were here, they would be able to see that this thing was very similar to the one they found in the wilderness. However, there was not only the one they saw, but also several matching ones around it.

The young man seemed to have thought of something and blurted out: "Biological implant?"

Mr. Ling smiled and said, "Yes, it's a new implant, one of the hunting series. It's a killing weapon. Who among you is willing to have it implanted? There is an implant doctor in the camp who can perform the operation for him now. With this thing, he can have the strength comparable to that of a fighter."

Su Xin stood up and said, "I'll do it..." But before he could finish, the young man who had argued with him before suddenly said, "I'll do it!"

"You..." Su Xin looked at him and hesitated, "Xiao Xiao, have you thought it through?"

Xiao Xiao said, "I've thought about it. Brother Xin, you are very accurate with a crossbow. If you install this close combat implant, your skills will be wasted. I think it would be better for me to do it. This way, there will be two combat-capable people on the team. Besides, I am physically better than you, and I have been learning martial arts since I was a child. I should be able to master this thing." Seeing that Su Xin was still hesitating, he took another step forward and said, "Brother Xin, let me do it. I can do it."

Seeing that he was so persistent and that what he said made sense, Su Xin was finally persuaded and agreed: "Okay, Xiao Xiao, I'll leave it to you, but you have to think about it. After this thing is implanted, you may have to take medicine all the time."

Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously and said through gritted teeth: "I've thought about it!"

There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. In this world, without force, one cannot protect oneself, let alone relatives and friends.

And with the use of force, what can't be done?
Mr. Ling said, "Actually, you don't have to worry about anything. Although you need to rely on anti-alienation drugs, I can provide a batch first. Besides, the Bloodstain Gang has plenty of this stuff. They got their start by trafficking in banned drugs. I'll tell you something. You just need to rob their goods and use the stolen drugs. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

"that's all!"

Xiao Xiao couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Ling, please ask the doctor to come and implant these implants for me now. I'm ready!"

Mr. Zero smiled and said, "Wait."

He walked out and found a man in his thirties wearing a white coat in another tent. He said to him, "We found the experimental subject. We will do the implantation surgery now."

"voluntary?"

"voluntary."

The implant doctor said, "Well, volunteers don't have as many violent emotions, and have a better chance of survival. This way, 30% of the implants should be implanted."

"Only thirty percent?"

The implant doctor said, "If it was a fighter, 30% would be too low, but he is just an ordinary person. 30% is the maximum limit. Any more and he will surely die."

"How long can thirty percent survive?"

The implant doctor said, "It depends on his luck. If he's lucky, it'll be fine for a year or two, but if he's unlucky, it'll be two or three months? This model hasn't been tested many times, so it's probably like this."

"Two or three months? That's enough!" Mr. Ling said, "Go and get the implant done. The person is in that tent."

"I'll be here as soon as I'm ready."

After a while, the implant doctor came out with a surgical tool box and walked into the big tent under the leadership of Mr. Zero. Then many young people came out.

After Xiao Xiao cleaned his whole body with medicine, he was sent to a separate compartment in the tent. His limbs were fixed with metal buckles. A masked implant doctor came in and started putting on gloves.

Xiao Xiao lay there, feeling very nervous, "Doctor, will it be successful?"

The doctor looked at him, came over, took a thin tube and inserted it into his nasal cavity. Xiao Xiao said, "Doctor, I feel a little itchy."

The doctor didn't say anything, just looked at him. After a while, Xiao Xiao twitched a few times, his eyes rolled up, and he lost consciousness.

The doctor reached out and pulled, and a curtain similar to a shower curtain came down, and began to spray various pre-prepared medicines.

If it were in the central city, a matching implant operating room would be needed, but this is the wilderness and the conditions are not there. Besides, this is just an experimental subject, not a normal big customer, so there is no need to be so particular.

He carefully took the still active biological implant out of the box and put it aside, then walked to the front, picked up the scalpel, and cut into the back.

Outside the tent, the group of young people were waiting outside. A night passed like this, and some people could not help but fall asleep. In the morning, they heard the sound of the tent curtain being lifted and footsteps coming out from inside. They all woke up and looked carefully. Everyone was shocked.

Xiao Xiao walked out, but his hair was completely shaved off, his eyes were deeply sunken, his body became skinny, and his skin was tightly attached to his bones and flesh, as if all the water and fat had been sucked out. You could see that there was gray-black implant tissue embedded in the part of his neck that protruded from the collar.

Su Xin was very anxious when he saw his appearance. He said to the implant doctor who came out with him, "How could this happen? Why did he become like this?"

The implant doctor said calmly, "It's normal consumption during the implant surgery. I'll just need two injections of nutrients later."

"Don't worry, I feel better than ever!" Xiao Xiao looked around and borrowed a sharpened steel pipe from a companion. With a little force with both hands, he bent the metal pipe.

Mr. Zero came out from nowhere and said with a smile, "It seems that you are very adaptable. The hunting type does not emphasize strength, but it must have sufficient organizational strength to support speed.

There will be a second implantation surgery tomorrow, which will be a protective membrane that matches the hunting model and can resist ordinary small-caliber bullets. The day after tomorrow will be sensory enhancement treatment. "

Xiao Xiao grinned, opened his arms, and said confidently: "I have heard the screams of my enemies. After I finish the implantation surgery, I will go and kill those enemies. And that damn expert, if he dares to hinder us, we will deal with him together!"
