Chapter 494: Ten Thousand Deification Capsules!
Five years ago, Song Yu was a researcher with a great future in the monster research center.
His research project was on how to extract the vitality essence from monster cells and inject them into the human body to induce the genes that had been slumbering in the human body for billions of years to change and obtain the power of monsters.
When Earthlings transmigrated to the Other World, they discovered that monsters were carbon-based life forms that went against all logic.
Research regarding how to use monsters effectively and scientifically had never stopped.
Killing monsters and eating their flesh, drinking their blood, as well as absorbing the spirit energy contained in monster crystal cores to refine the human body until it became steel was one path.
Domesticating and modifying monsters by implanting control chips into monster brains and turning wild beasts into obedient biochemical pets was another path.
Sensing, simulating, and absorbing the vitality magnetic fields of monsters to fight using beast souls was the third path.
Gao Ye was a genius. He thought of transferring the human soul to the monster’s brain and nervous system. This was yet another path.
Song Yu walked down the fifth path.
While he a.n.a.lyzed and compared human and monster genes, he discovered that there was nothing different between them in terms of essence. They were similar to the point that it was definitely not a coincidence.
Some of the genes of Earthlings were similar to falcon-type monsters and feline-type monsters. The similarity was even higher than between the genes of Earthlings and the falcons and felines on Earth.
No matter the reason that created this phenomenon, it showed that as long as Song Yu could deliver the correct impact to human genes, they could release the great power that had been lying dormant for billions of years. The helpless normal people would then instantly change and gain monstrous strength.
A transformation fighting system was successfully born.
And without a doubt, it could be promoted to all Earthlings on a large scale as compared to the spirit energy fighting system, which required humans to cultivate for a long time.
Song Yu conducted his research day and night, and slowly, he arrived at the edge of spirit energy deviation.
At one point when he hit a wall in his research, he was unable to obtain permission to continue, but even without it, he secretly extracted the essence from monster cells and created a gene activator to experiment on himself.
Song Yu succeeded somewhat.
He had managed to use the essence of cells from falcon-type monsters to activate the gene fragments that were similar to falcon-type monsters in the human body. He grew a large pair of wings, obtained falcon-type monsters’ vision, speed, and ferocity.
But from another point of view, he failed.
He could not control the invasion of monster cells and steadily release the power of monsters. He also seemed to have forgotten some general knowledge.
Falcon-type monsters were different from mammals. Most of them did not have external reproductive organs.
At the time Song Yu obtained strength, the falcon-type monsters made him pay... a price that normal men would not want to pay.
Song Yu had been tall, handsome, and popular with the ladies. He also had a happy family.
But due to the transformation experiment, his family was broken.
And gradually, some unbelievable rumors spread among his female friends.
On the surface, Song Yu was just like before. He was a high-level researcher in the monster research center that everyone respected and who had great status.
But his mind gradually became twisted due to the deformity of his organs.
Three years ago, dozens of women in Dragon City were brutally a.s.saulted on the streets, and the crime scenes were a horrible sight.
Based on the terrifying pecks and tears on the corpses, the secret police were certain that a monster had snuck into Dragon City.
Then, a girl who had a certain degree of fighting power and had just reached Spirit Tattoo Realm was attacked while on her way home from a cultivation center. A few of her senior brothers, who had also been cultivating, were also going home some distance away from her.
When they heard her cries, they rushed over and saw Song Yu’s twisted face. In her struggle, the girl also plucked out a handful of feathers that had Song Yu’s genetic characteristics.
The truth came out, and the public was in an uproar. Song Yu’s reputation was ruined, and he could only flee out of Dragon City at lightning speed before the secret police and bounty hunters surrounded his house.
Originally, everyone thought that he was hiding in the depths of the fog.
No one expected that this demon in human skin would come back quietly and hide in Golden Tooth Lair’s Leprosy Village.
“These b.a.s.t.a.r.ds actually betrayed humans and turned into the claws of monsters?” Multi-armed Hong Li cussed.
The hunters found it unbelievable, but Meng Chao was not surprised.
The Earthlings of this generation still had a very narrow mindset about humans. They also believed the concept that humans and intelligent non-humans were of different sides.
But before long, when the planet-wide Other World war would reach them, dozens of demi-humans, humanoids, and intelligent non-human species would appear one after another.
For the sake of survival, the wicked Earthlings would betray their civilization and join the ranks of elves, vampires, and all sorts of strange-looking orcs and demons.
Similarly, elf princes, orc generals, and abject magicians would join forces with Earthlings after they lost the battle within their race. They would then use their magic, racial skills, and inborn divine arts in exchange for the Earthlings’ rocket launchers and main battle tanks. They would even lead the way so Earthlings could slaughter their way into their homelands.
Lost people like b.l.o.o.d.y Slaughter Gao Yang, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, and Ghost Eagle Song Yu had committed unforgivable and heinous crimes, so they would definitely not be accepted by normal society.
Since monsters could learn from humans and create their own civilization, they had to get helpers and even teachers from human society.
It was something natural for both sides to act in collusion with each other.
Meng Chao only wanted to know whether there were other infamous lost people hiding in Leprosy Village aside from those three.
The camera on the biochemical rat’s back moved. It did not find more lost people, but it did manage to film b.l.o.o.d.y Slaughter Gao Yang opening a storage cupboard.
Then, right before the people’s eyes, a fierce, green sea instantly appeared.
“That’s... Just how many Deification Capsules are there inside?!” The hunters were dumbfounded and felt their skins crawl.
The storage cupboard had rows of neat metal racks. Each rack had strings of crystalline, green Deification Capsules on them.
There were more than one hundred Deification Capsules on each rack, and there were nearly one hundred racks in the storage cupboard.
“More than ten thousand Deification Capsules!”
The hunters could not believe it. If ten thousand Deification Capsules went out of Leprosy Village and the lair, so more than ten thousand robbers could temporarily gain supernatural abilities, what damage would it deal to Dragon City’s societal order?
The battles at the perimeter of Dragon City were not going to end within a few days.
First, they had to use positional warfare, trench warfare, and even urban warfare in certain regions to deplete the monsters’ fighting power and ferocity as well as locate the Apocalyptic Beasts’ nests and their actions so that they could secretly mobilize their own forces, gather the Deity Realm superhumans, and deliver a destructive blow.
Two years ago, they had fought half a year during the northern offense from Shattered Starlake to Raging Waves.
This time, the defense battle might last from one to three months.
During this period of time, the stability and order in Dragon City might be the key that would decide the frontline’s victory.
Besides, what they were seeing might not be all of the Deification Capsules that the enemies created.
The enemy’s drug production line was still in full operation. Each second, more Deification Capsules were created.
With this thought in mind, the veteran hunters and club members all instinctively clenched their fists and gritted their teeth.
b.l.o.o.d.y Slaughter Gao Yang, Tsunami Wan Zhuiyun, and Ghost Eagle Song Yu seemed to have sensed danger and tension in the air.
They brought out vials of silve-white metal tubes and injected a mithril-based stabilizing fluid in them before they placed the strings of Deification Capsules inside. Then, they screwed the tubes shut before stuffing them into backpacks.
The trio moved smoothly. Soon, dozens of metal tubes with Deification Capsules were packaged.
“No good. They’re going to run,” Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong said. “The mastermind knows that the place has been exposed. They want the three criminals to leave with the Deification Capsules.
“If we delay this any further, it might cause problems. We can’t wait any longer. We must stop them before they run away!”
Based on the map that had just been drawn and their locations, the hunters soon planned out their offensive routes.
They were all comrades with great rapport, because they had been fighting with each other for around twenty years in the fog. With just one glance, they knew how to work together.
Meng Chao suggested to Zhou Chong that since the situation in Leprosy Village was so complicated and unknown, it would be best if they left a reserve team to handle the situation should anything change.
Man-eating Shark Zhou Chong was fierce when he fought, but he was not reckless. He pondered this for a while before he took up Meng Chao’s suggestion. He split the hunters into two teams, with one situated at the forefront and one at the back. In their middle were the powerful fighters from the gangs. They were going to launch a three-wave a.s.sault.
“Meng Chao, you’ve just entered Heaven Realm and have never worked with us before. Why don’t you serve as the rearguard? It’ll be safer.” Zhou Chong suggested.
“Thanks for the kind suggestion, Senior Zhou, but since I’m the one who discovered the first Deification Capsule, I just can’t stay away from the fight. I will definitely drag the mastermind out with my own hands and pulverize them!” Meng Chao said firmly.
Praise shone in Zhou Chong’s eyes. He no longer wasted his breath and said murderously into the communication channel, “The operation starts in five seconds. Focus on being quick and hidden. Do your best to get close to the Deification Capsule pharmacy before you attack. Remember, if you run into any obstacles or resistance, kill without mercy!”
In an instant, all the hunters gathered their aura together.
It was like burning flames had merged together to form a cold blade.
They were like dozens of silent arrows that shot simultaneously toward Leprosy Village at lightning speed from all directions.
The “moat”—the drain that was filled with rotten trash—was naturally unable to stop Heaven Realm elites.
And the colorful fog that circulated above Leprosy Village all the time like oil paints became the best camouflage for the hunters while it hid Leprosy Village’s full view.
The hunters took only half a second to get into the fog. Then, they got on the balconies of the buildings around Leprosy Village without anyone noticing it.
