What's Around Me
Page 112
Zheng Yichen explained it when he gave them these equipments. Recently, the store will be a little restless, and there will even be some vicious conflicts and battles. These equipments are given to them just in case. It should be like this, but these equipments The effect is too good, with the ability to evolve, just like Teigu, although after the battle, the power of rapid evolution will disappear, but there will be a part of it, although not much, but it can also accompany their continuous growth, Can be used forever.
It can be said that after having this equipment, they will not need other equipment in the future, and the attached weapons are not comparable to those that Zheng Yichen gave them before, and they are armed to the teeth at once. If there is nothing else to do next, this thing will be given away for nothing...
Zheng Yichen didn't know how the Night Raid was arranged. It had nothing to do with him. It was because of Chelsea that he could be reminded. It was their business if they didn't make a choice. It was enough for him to wait for additional news.
night.
"This is here, Captain." In a valley, Dr. Fashion looked at the hidden base in front of him, showing a confident smile. When he attacked other assassination troops of the Revolutionary Army, he came up with other ideas. , deliberately let go of some people from the other party. In order to ensure that the plan works, the people who let go are not one or two, and they are all seriously injured. If they run away, it is a windfall to find a connector, and it doesn’t matter if they fail. The result was a surprise.
Being able to find here is not based on tracking skills, but taste!
A smell left by a special thing he configured, plus the sense of smell possessed by the modified person he created, can only be caught. With these smells, he directly found the base of the night attack, and the rest needless to say , Naturally, they attacked before they could react, and wiped out all the night raiders in this place!
"It's not something that I, a scientist, will be involved in next, so I'll leave first."
"En." Estes looked at Dr. Fashion, who was impatient to leave, and nodded slightly. Everyone in the hunter is capable, and those who came from soldiers like Will and Porus are very good. Arrangement, the other party just obeys the order. Although Hei Tong's words are not normal soldiers, they are similar. Lan is a good man in the team, but she doesn't have too many thoughts in normal actions. Sai Liu's words have a crazy factor in her heart , but this Estes doesn't care, there's nothing wrong with being crazy...
Dr. Fashion has a lot of thoughts. Of course, his thoughts are not about trapping hunters, but about his own field. Therefore, when the members of the hunter team want to do their own things, Esther Si doesn't interfere too much, as long as the official actions don't go wrong, she believes in the creed of the jungle, so her subordinates can fight for whatever they want.
As long as you have that ability.
Now Dr. Fashion has led them to find the base of the night attack, and he can participate in the rest if he wants to. It doesn't matter if he doesn't want to participate but wants to do something else. His contribution and credit have already been obtained. , As for who he wants to attack, Esdes can also guess. After completing the last task these days, Dr. Fashion has been very active, including the research on those Teigu.
He hasn’t released the research data on things like Teigu for the time being. The Empire knows that this weapon is quite miraculous, but thought it was a weapon made by some kind of secret technique. His idea of suppressing this news is too clear. This Time to leave in a hurry, I'm afraid I can't help but go to Zheng Yichen.
She will interfere in this matter?Just kidding, she admits that Zheng Yichen is good and has a lot of secrets that she wants to know, but the problem is that because Zheng Yichen is very good, she will not interfere too much in this matter, he is not a weak chicken, Why does he interfere with things that he can solve?Can't solve it?If he can't solve it, it means that he has no ability, and that's it.
Dr. Fashion... This matter is caused by his selfishness, and it is considered a private matter.
After receiving the response from Esdeth, Dr. Fashion left here with a smile on his face. Esdeth, who was surrounded by the main members of the hunter, stared at the night attack base with lights at night, raised his right hand to Next wave: "Crush them!"
This is an attack, both of them are Tegu envoys, there are not so many fancy infiltration preparations, it is right to crush the enemy directly, the people who attacked at night are very strong, and the people on her side are not weak.
"What is this? I'm so dizzy..." Chelsea rubbed her forehead slightly, took off the earphones and looked at the display screen weakly. , I was poisoned, could it be that he finally couldn't bear it, and wanted to attack himself... No, she suppressed the feeling of powerlessness and looked back at Zheng Yichen. Zheng Yichen, who was only in pajamas, had already put on his clothes and stood beside the bed. When she looked back, Zheng Yichen was still staring at the ground, thinking about something.
"what are you doing?"
"Consider whether to wear shoes." Zheng Yichen said seriously. The adaptive armor on his body can wear shoes in the windbreaker state, but after liberation, he brings his own combat boots. The kind that hurts when kicking people, the shoes will be in a Covered state, but the cover does not disappear completely, but is wrapped in the armor. It is not that the original clothes will disappear temporarily when the body is changed, and it will magically change back when it changes back.
In short, he either wears shoes or does not wear them, and the problem of not wearing thick clothes is not a big problem.
"……I……"
"It's time for you to sleep." Zheng Yichen looked at Chelsea who was about to close her eyes completely, and the latter curled her lips slightly, showing a helpless smile.
Zheng Yichen obviously didn't intend to help her get back to normal, so let's go to sleep, and there should be nothing wrong when she wakes up, right?She was no longer using willpower to resist the feeling of powerlessness, she fell softly, was caught by Zheng Yichen and lay flat on the bed, after thinking for a while, she tore a scroll of protective magic, then left the room, went to her few Small staff room.
"I have a job." After being poured a bottle of magic potion to disperse the abnormal state, Sha You, who was in a daze, immediately opened her eyes, sat up suddenly, but quickly pulled up the blanket on her body.
"Boss, what, what's going on?" Seeing Zheng Yichen's fully armed appearance, she didn't seem to be planning for some nighttime 'attack', but she still felt a little guilty when she spoke.
"Get ready to fight, I'll call someone else." Zheng Yichen didn't explain too much, and went directly to the next room, pouring down a bottle of potion as before. The same words woke up the three of them. As for Chelsea's frontal combat power is too weak, this kind of Sudden battles are not very useful. Since the enemy will use the medicine once, he will use it a second time. He can help her recover, but the second time will not have such a good chance.
Simply put, let her fall asleep first.
As for Tazmi and the others, their combat effectiveness is not weak. Some time ago, they were specially equipped with new equipment to deal with some emergencies. Under such circumstances, they want to sleep well for a night, and wait for themselves to kill super gods Killing solves everything?The idea is so beautiful, no one wants to sleep well, just get up and say hello!
"Boss, who is it?" Tazmi asked in a low voice after waking up and quickly finished dressing. The street at night was terribly quiet, not the usual night silence, at least you can still see it on the street in normal times. There were some lights, but now the whole street is dead, as if there is no living person except them.
"I'm a regular customer." Zheng Yichen said to Sha You and the others who were wearing a gas mask: "Take care of the store and don't let anyone in at dawn."
Since the other party used some kind of poison to affect them, they must want to catch them alive, or weaken their combat effectiveness in advance. According to Zheng Yichen's observation, there are already many abnormal 'people' hidden around. When something was going on, there was another figure approaching quietly. When he was walking forward, he had an extra spiritual gun in his hand, and suddenly shot at a hidden area.
A figure poured out from a hidden place with blood on its forehead. Iyeas and Tazmid suddenly opened their eyes wide. The back of the boss who shot just now is really handsome. Like kicking away a small stone, this shot is also the beginning of a battle. Suddenly, some soldiers with traces of transformation popped out from the dead street, and they rushed towards Zheng Yichen in unison, and at the same time, some of them rushed towards them. come over.
"It's true that I robbed it, are scientists so arrogant?" Zheng Yichen muttered, and it's good to use some conspiracy to calculate, so he came here so recklessly?He took off the gas mask he was wearing, and the black armor appeared...
Chapter 240 Three Battle Evolution
The probability of Ming Qiang is relatively low in Zheng Yichen's guess, or it is relatively low at this time. Anyway, some conspiracy methods, threats and other methods should be used as a starting point, right?In the end, it was so straightforward to do it, whether it was too impatient or extremely confident, it would be better...
Dr. Fashion stared at the street where the battle started, with a slightly unhappy expression. In order to ensure the success rate of this operation, he used poison as much as possible, not a completely fatal poison, but a person who quickly loses consciousness and falls asleep It is a poison that will fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up the next day, you will not feel that anything has happened. Although this poison is not very precious, it is not cheap either!
In order to ensure the success of the operation, he deliberately spread the scope of the poison to the entire street, so that no one nearby would notice the battle here. When the next day, he was only surprised that the underground gas pipe exploded there. The astonishment of the mess, there will be such a large action force, generally speaking, Dr. Fashion is already impatient.
Although the things bought from Zheng Yichen's shop before have special power, they are too ordinary on the whole, but the Teigu-like pieces he seized afterwards made his heart even hotter. It is made, but the power it exerts is exactly the same as that of Teigu. Although the upper limit of power is not as high as Teigu, it is much better than the defective court equipment, and more importantly, there are not many requirements for use.
And according to his research, those weapons also have a kind of dark power attached to them, which will cause the person being attacked to be attacked by that dark power. The dark power is not carried by Teigu-like materials, but other powers In addition, each weapon has the same nature of power, and it comes from the hands of the same kind of existence...well, not the same person.
Others will only think that they are the same person when they study those Teigu-like Teigu, but he has Teigu himself, and it is a Teigu that is specially enhanced for research. Naturally, he noticed the subtle style between each Teigu-like Teigu during the research. The gap, although the general style is the same, but the subtle gap has proved that those are not made by one person.
Those are not important anymore, the important thing is that Dr. Fashion has found some unique traces on the Teigu. Those traces are in the same style as the patterns engraved on the trinkets made by Zheng Yichen, but the complexity is different. He tried to reproduce them. After looking at those styles, even the dangerous materials used are of the same type, but the re-engraved things do not have any unique functions, and the materials have not been transformed into accessories, they are still materials.
It just looks better.
This directly shows that Zheng Yichen also has the corresponding technology, and he even knows the technology of those medicines. It doesn't matter how much he knows. To put it simply, according to his existing research results, coupled with this secret technique with other mysterious powers, he has thoroughly researched the subsequent development of technology, and he will surely be able to easily produce something that is truly comparable to Teigu.
It can even be mass-produced and surpass the real Teigu!
There is nothing to say about this, he can no longer hold back his impulse, whether it is assassination or open robbery, he is eager to get Zheng Yichen, it doesn't matter if he lives or dies, as long as his head is intact, he has plenty of ways Obtaining all the information in his mind, even if the cost is a bit high, compared to the gains, that cost is nothing at all.
Of course, it would be even better if Zheng Yichen could take the initiative to cooperate with him. He now has the 'criminal evidence' about Zheng Yichen's collusion with the revolutionary army. Evidence, his actions were based on the stability of the empire, and everything was to eliminate such a threat to the stability of the empire.
"Sigh~ Ordinary poison is actually useless. As expected of the existence that the captain said to pay attention to, it must be the reason why he was able to forcefully sell it." Seeing the armor emerging from Zheng Yichen's body, Dr. Fashion rubbed his forehead, This armor looks very similar to Teigu, but after studying those Teigu-like armor, he doesn't think that what Zheng Yichen is wearing is the Teigu-like armor from the place of origin. And the bottle of gender-changing potion that Estes got back then.
Ordinary people are afraid that their legs will be broken if they forcefully sell it, even if it has a magical effect, but the captain finally accepts it, which means that the people who do this kind of thing have caught the captain's eyes.
"Okay! Then use plan B!" Dr. Fashion is still in high spirits, the armor on Zheng Yichen is his own, no matter what, it is much better than the quasi-teigu he got before, and he can have another set New research materials, before that, let's test the performance of that set of armor, and the cyborg soldiers are dispatched collectively!
Fashion troop... Well, one of them was accidentally killed, but it was still within the acceptable range, and the rest just followed the cyborg soldiers. Although the damage of plan B is a bit big, and it may kill the target, but Try to avoid this, besides plan B, he has a final plan.
Before this, use the transformed soldiers to consume a wave, let these people care about it, the main combat power is Zheng Yichen, Tazmi and the others performed well in the civil martial arts competition, but after all, they are ordinary people, and the physique of the transformed soldiers is already very high. The peaks of ordinary people exist, and it is enough to pile them up with numbers.
Let's take a look at Zheng Yichen's combat effectiveness after wearing that suit of armor.
In the night, Zheng Yichen blinked his eyes. Although the surrounding light was dim, after wearing the helmet, the things he could see in the dark were not so blurred. Although the current dark vision is still very weak, with the use of Most of them can also improve, but the passive improvement is definitely not as fast as the active improvement, and the spiritual connection with the armor is maintained, so the evolution in this aspect will be more biased according to the needs.
But in this way, the mental impact will also be there. It doesn't matter in a short time. After a long time, the spirit will definitely not be able to stand it. But the guided evolution is really cool to use. As long as the armor can meet the needs, it can basically be used. The evolution is biased, but the speed is a bit slow, and it needs to be accumulated slowly. It may be fought a few times, or a dozen times, and the helmet will evolve true dark vision.
The current makeshift is enough, and a little dark vision can already allow him to easily deal with these cyborgs who keep jumping out. Such an enemy, with enough bullets, is ten times less afraid... Oh, the spirit gun?
That, his spiritual power is not strong, he can fight for a while, but if he hits too much, people will be weak, and the normal live ammunition can play a corresponding role, and there is no need to use that kind of spiritual ammunition.
The battle on Zheng Yichen's side is easy, but the battle on Tazmi's side is not easy. This is not guarding Athena. The enemy will only attack from one side. Those reformers come from all directions, and they even met special reformers. , is more difficult to fight than the remodeled soldiers, but they also feel the unique improvement brought by the equipment on their bodies during the battle. Needs change!
Only the leather part is adapted to the battle suit. Zheng Yichen didn't cut off the mental impact brought by the high assimilation, because no matter how hard he tried, if he cut it off, the battle suit would be completely useless, and the passive evolution alone would still be incomplete. There is nothing brilliant about the material, so what is the use?
The current one is just right, even if it evolves too fast, it won't cause much trouble to the user. After the battle, the battle suit will degenerate very quickly, and nothing will happen.
"It takes too much physical strength to control the enhanced speed." Shayou said in a low voice. She is a woman, and her physical strength itself is much weaker. The battle evolution brought about by the battle suit made her feel that her speed and jumping ability are already stronger than her arm strength. While strengthening, the sense of fatigue is also increasing rapidly, and the spirit is also a little tired, although in this state, the arrows she shoots are more powerful.
When those reformers were hit, they were directly nailed to the ground as if they were hit by a crossbow arrow.
"Haha, this kind of battle is so refreshing, I feel that I can still become stronger!" Iyeas swung his long sword, he felt that every cell in himself was active, and his skin was constantly changing with the battle. The rising temperature even stimulated his desire to fight, fatigue?A little bit, but as the strength continues to increase, that little fatigue can be ignored.
"This strong desire to fight...is it brought by the battle suit?" Tazmi also felt that his spirit was a little too excited.
Originally, these reformed people were very powerful. At first, he could only fight normally when fighting hand to hand, but now he was able to directly repel the rushing reformed people.
"Oh, it's really violent. If this goes on, only the strength of the three brats will be tested?" Dr. Fashion looked at Zheng Yichen who was fighting calmly, and then at Tazmi's side. Their battles were stronger than Zheng Yichen's It was much more intense, Zheng Yichen's style of play was too straightforward, the guns were deadly, and he would not give those reformed people a chance to get close. Now the reformed people who fell on the ground were nearly eight meters away from him. This distance , even detonating the reformed person would not bring much harm to Zheng Yichen.
I can't see anything from Zheng Yichen, but it's Tazmi's side. They are getting stronger at a speed visible to the naked eye, so that Dr. Fashion can immediately judge that their combat uniforms are not ordinary, and their weapons have special effects, but I want to come and fight with them. The seized Teigu was similar.
Chapter 240 The Fourth Teach You Something New
(③④②⑨⑥⑦④⑥⑤)
Plan B is to let the reformed troops with bombs in their bodies go up to deliver them. If enough are sent, it means that Zheng Yichen is surrounded by dangerous high-intensity bombs, and then he can directly detonate them to solve the main target. , but Zheng Yichen wasn't fooled at all and didn't use melee combat at all, he was in a very stable and safe range.
Plan B isn't much use anymore, it's not worth taking away three thugs who don't know anything, so use the final plan!
When the most precious poisonous gas was used, Tazmi and Iyeas, who had already felt that their fighting spirit was becoming more and more violent during the battle, were taken aback for a moment, and were blown away by the cyborg soldiers rushing over in the next moment, and they He hit the wall: "What's going on... I can't move my body."
While their bodies were unable to move, the reformed people also took the opportunity to rush up to deal them a fatal blow. At this time, they felt that their bodies quickly adapted to the feeling of powerlessness. If they were given a 2-minute Time can definitely restore action, but only if they are still alive and the physical and mental strength can bear the current consumption.
It is the first time that they have no experience in using battle suits, so that they can experience the feeling of rapid increase in strength in battle, but ignore the consumption of physical strength. Shayou has noticed it, but facing the increasingly difficult She could only output the transformed soldiers, as well as those elite transformed persons, with all her strength, and her physical reserves were seriously insufficient.
Originally, his physical strength was insufficient, but his strength and speed had been strengthened to a very high level, and he was able to defeat these cyborgs head-on. Even the cyborg with a mechanical transformation all over his body was crushed by Iyeas and Tatsumi head-on. The mechanical transformation part of the body was forcibly demolished. Although that state caused them a lot of meaningless consumption, after solving the transformation person, the pressure brought by the elite transformation person will not be much.
The remodeled soldiers rushing towards them were swallowed by the flames of the explosion. Although Tazmi and the others could not move, the critical situation had been temporarily lifted. Zheng Yichen raised his hand slightly, feeling that his body had become rather dull, and some kind of Stronger poisons inevitably affected his body, but his body has been strengthened twice by magic power, and his resistance to this poison is not too weak, not like Tazmi and others That completely loses mobility.
The spiritual power accelerates the flow in the blood vessels, forcibly stimulates the state of the body and confronts this constantly functioning poison. Poison makes the body lose its ability to move, and spiritual power stimulates the body to make the body more active. Two completely opposite situations , temporarily allowing his body to return to normal mobility.
Seeing that Zheng Yichen forcibly recovered his normal mobility after a short period of sluggishness, and even the bursting speed was greatly improved, defeating the nearby cyborg soldiers at an extremely fast speed. Originally, the speed of one shot was very slow. , but after he changed the bullets that would explode, he fired one shot at a time, and the remaining morphed soldiers were almost wiped out without any real effect, exposing the things in the body that were not transformed from flesh and blood.
It was... a bomb, a fairly stable bomb. After Zheng Yichen glanced at the fragments, he immediately figured out what those things were. The high-speed flowing spiritual power in his body formed a magic circle on his legs, and his speed increased again, dragging The movement of the afterimage allowed him to quickly cut into a hidden area, and his sight was instantly locked on Dr. Fashion who was holding a remote control. Just as the other party was about to press the remote control, a bullet pierced through him faster. his head.
Can thugs, but not necessary.
Although the other party had done many transactions with him, and even brought Zheng Yichen quite a lot of knowledge reserves, since he has done something to himself, he has nothing to say, and he will not have any hesitation in making a move against such a person , the other party knew clearly that he was coming, why did he hesitate?Regardless of whether he has any back tricks, let's kill them first.
As for the three cyborgs around Dr. Fashion screaming and wanting to escape, but without exception, they were all headshot by him one by one, with their backs to him, it was like death. Command operations, including those with special modifications, a body with a high degree of defense can resist his bullets, but Zheng Yichen replaced it with an armor-piercing projectile, which was made into an enhanced module with a life-killing stone to strengthen and solve it simply.
"...Phew, boss, this is the end." Zheng Yichen, who was unable to move, heaved a long sigh of relief as the armor on his body gradually disappeared, and felt a little ashamed. was brought down.
"Well done." Zheng Yichen glanced at the surrounding streets and his store. The three of them protected the store very well. As for some traces of battles around them, they didn't cause much damage, so they quickly cleaned them up and made a disguise. It can be as if nothing happened, as for these corpses?Find a place to clean it up, Zheng Yichen is also good at this skill.
It's a little pity that the armor on his body didn't play a big role. Dr. Fashion has always used insidious tricks. After the poison expires, there is no strong output. Those miscellaneous fish can't get close, so Zheng Yichen The impact is negligible, not to mention using the full form of the adaptive armor, the default form of the windbreaker can solve the problem: "When the body recovers, clean up the scene with me, remember to go to the back room to get tools."
So far no one from the security team has come here, probably Dr. Fashion has already said hello, so although their time is not much, it is not too short. Under the influence of the suit, they recovered their mobility within a few minutes, but their bodies were also in a state of extreme fatigue. The temporary rapid evolution of the battle suit made their bodies adapt to the poison, but it also consumed a lot of their physical strength and energy.
Although they were very tired, seeing Zheng Yichen busy, they also took out the tools from the back room. The corpses on the scene were sorted out, and there was a huge pile. Shayou and the three felt very headache when they saw it: "How should we deal with this?" ? Little by little, I’m going to move to tomorrow, right?”
"Forget about it, let's clean up the scene, and I'll teach you how to deal with the details." Zheng Yichen shook his head, indicating that they should ignore the piled up corpses of modified human beings, and he put away the suspicious objects he found from Dr. Fashion's body and said, The place where the corpses were piled up was a clean area. Zheng Yichen had laid plastic film over there in advance, and he would deal with it later. What needs to be done now is to deal with the scene.
Because they were all instant kills, the place where he fought cleaned up the corpses. After the ground was cleaned, there were no traces. There were some traces of battles on Tazmi, which needed to be repaired and made old... Fortunately, the place is not used much. In a short time, after finishing the work, the three boys and girls who looked "knowledgeable" went back to rest. This was Zheng Yichen's order, and they could only return to their own rooms with some thoughts of "why the boss is so professional" .
Zheng Yichen made it very clear that everything is fine tonight, and nothing happened here!They had experience with Tazmi before, and they were familiar with it.
Zheng Yichen looked at the corpses on the ground. A black cube was formed to wrap all the corpses. After wrapping five layers, he specially flipped through the magic book that he had made a note from Dimia. The armor appeared again. The power of the demon king in the armor released a magic barrier, and finally threw a powerful fire magic scroll into the deepest part of the black cube.
The entire cube trembled violently. In Zheng Yichen's perception, there was only one layer left in several layers of the cube, and the remaining layer was still on the verge of collapse. After being re-stabilized by him, the huge cube began to shrink rapidly. What's going on inside Zheng Yichen is no longer clear, anyway, everything inside is incinerated by the ultra-high temperature that erupted in a certain area, nothing more than ash or some other molten metal mixture.
These things may still be in a soft state, but as the cube shrinks, they are condensed again and become a black cube less than one cubic meter. I evenly spread a small pile of dry soil, and left the imperial capital with the black cube on my shoulders. There is no need to keep this thing, just find a place to dig a hole and bury it.
At this time, what he reveals inside and out is a kind of professionalism.
After digging pits to bury garbage, and leaving in a cool manner, Zheng Yichen, who returned to the store, looked around, and then went to other places to clean up the traces of the activities of those reformed soldiers. He could confirm that the nearby parts were completely cleaned up. But the area farther away is too large to deal with all of them. However, when these reformed soldiers came here, they also sneaked into the village, and there were not many traces left, just left in the place of the battle. The most traces.
By the way, I went to take a shower, and returned to the bedroom. Chelsea was still asleep. The previous poison was not too harmful. Let's talk about it when she wakes up the next day. He slept too. As for what happened to him When it comes to the raid, how is the situation on the night raid side... That's the other side's business. If something really happened, Zheng Yichen thought about the girls over there, and he would feel that it's a pity. What are you doing, continue with your daily life!
The next day Chelsea opened her eyes suddenly, sat up quickly, looked down at the clothes she was wearing, she didn't change her clothes when she was sleeping, so there were many wrinkles on her clothes, Zheng Yichen slept soundly next to her With a dead look: "You..."
"Don't make trouble, I'm tired, let me sleep for another two hours."
