Chapter 405 is a very dangerous chapter. The chapter title is missing due to fear.

Inside the room, the four corpses slowly melted like wax encountering high temperature.

The flesh and blood squirmed and fell off, exposing the tubes and prostheses embedded in the body, and even the replaced joints, bones, and abdominal organs.

The enhanced artificial heart, like a water pump, is still working hard under the supply of energy equipment.

But it has lost control of its brain and has no idea that all this is in vain.

The mother's body, which needs blood and nutrients, has long since died. The blood that was pumped throughout the body is being gradually drawn out and decomposed to extract the purest energy substances inside.

The naturally born abdominal organs melted one after another, separated from the cybernetic body connected by countless pipes, and completely embraced freedom.

The flesh and blood that peeled off from the bones, pulled by a strange force, violated the law of gravity and slowly rose into the air, turning into a condensed mass of flesh.

A white powder continuously precipitated from the bones exposed to the air, and was also drawn into the ball of flesh and blood.

Soon, the eerie white bones began to break with a crackling sound, as if they had been rotten for years.

The four skeletons collapsed neatly at the same time, turning into dust and disappearing completely.

In the end, all that was left on the ground were the cybernetic bodies implanted in their bodies, the weapons and equipment these people brought with them, and the clothes they wore.

Apart from this, there is nothing else left.

"The Great Immortal Technique of Eating Gods."

Lu Wenwu muttered to himself, then reached out to touch the mass of flesh and blood that was floating in the air and constantly churning.

This is the essence of flesh and blood extracted from the four corpses, and it is also a source of pure energy.

The moment the fingers connected with the flesh, the entire mass of flesh instantly rolled back, flowing upstream along the arm as if it had life, gradually covering his entire body.

Wherever the essence of blood and flesh passes, all injuries on the body are healed.

Countless hungry cells were satisfied, the originally shriveled muscles expanded and grew stronger again, and the back, which was slightly hunched due to the injury, straightened up again, regaining its proper muscular posture.

It was a muscular figure like the god of war in mythology and legends, with a broad back and strong waist but not bulky, enough to satisfy all human imaginations of the word "heroic" since ancient times.

With a slight movement, the naked back muscles appeared like a ghost face, as terrifying as the arrival of the devil.

Wisps of scarlet steam rose from Lu Wenwu's body. The heavy blood and energy, like lead and mercury, made the stunned Liu Linan shiver subconsciously.

He felt a strong sense of crisis from the wisps of blood-colored steam, and his back felt cold in an instant.

It is truly as heavy as lead and mercury, and its energy and blood are as strong as a dragon!

"call!"

The corners of Lu Wenwu's mouth couldn't help but outline a trace of joy, and he suddenly let out a long breath.

The white streak whistled out with a roar like thunder, and hit the hard alloy wall, actually knocking a dent into it.

"Finally, I feel alive again."

Lu Wenwu twisted his neck with a grim smile, and moved the bones and muscles all over his body, and a sound like popping beans came out of his body.

From the moment he woke up to the battle, and then to the moment he woke up from the injury and coma, he was weak and hungry at all times.

Now, he has finally replenished the energy that was lost in his body and regained his healthy and strong state.

Of course, this is the peak state of the current state, not the state before entering the dungeon.

There was still a lot of surplus energy from the energy just absorbed, and Lu Wenwu did not use all of it to replenish his body.

Under Liu Linan's somewhat puzzled gaze, he strode back to the bed and sat cross-legged, and pointed his fingers like swords at the broken bones of Maomao.

The physical strength that had just been recovered began to transform into spiritual power bit by bit, and the method of Nine Breaths to Subdue Qi began to work with difficulty.

After about three minutes, a void passage so small that it was almost undetectable was finally opened. The tremendous spiritual power from the chaotic void rushed in madly under the influence of negative pressure, and actually expanded the tiny passage a little.

Lu Wenwu's body felt like it hadn't had a full meal for years. Facing the overwhelming spiritual power, he remained undaunted and absorbed as much as possible into his body.

The powerful absorption and decomposition ability instantly purified the mixed spiritual power, making up for his own lack of physical strength while also continuously sending it into Maomao's body to replenish the completely dried-up demon pill.

With the influx of spiritual energy, Maomao's complexion was improving rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Driven by it, spiritual power rapidly repaired broken bones and damaged abdominal organs, meridians, flesh and blood.

This purely physical wound was temporarily closed in a very short time, and it would heal after just a period of rest and breathing exercises. It was incredibly fast.

The process of using the Nine Breaths to open up the space channel and draw in spiritual energy only takes about five minutes.

Five minutes later, the accumulated power in Lu Wenwu's body could no longer be sustained, and the void channel, which was already small, quickly closed.

However, neither the man nor the dog had any intention of getting out of bed. Instead, they both closed their eyes and continued their previous practice.

Because this is a place without any spiritual energy, the amount of spiritual energy drawn in from the chaotic void is too much, and Lu Wenwu's current body is unable to absorb all of it.

Therefore, after the space channel was closed, there was still a lot of spiritual energy left in this well-sealed room that had not dissipated.

Not wanting to waste it, the man and the dog absorbed and refined it crazily.

Only after absorbing all the hard-earned spiritual energy into their bodies did they finally open their eyes.

The master and the pet looked at each other and saw a look of surprise in each other's eyes.

The spiritual power that opened up the space channel not only allowed the man and the dog to make up for all their losses, but also allowed them to take a step further on their original basis and achieve a slight improvement.

Not to mention Lu Wenwu, this freak who can become stronger by eating, even Maomao didn't feel any bottleneck. After refining the spiritual power, he immediately upgraded, and the positive and negative feedback was astonishingly fast.

If they were to fight the Butcher's gang again now, they wouldn't have to be so embarrassed and could easily kill them all.

Perhaps the top mercenaries who have been equipped with a large number of military prosthetics and undergone extensive modifications are not yet their opponents in their current state.

But it wasn't difficult to deal with the butcher's gang of scavengers.

And after making up for his own deficit, Lu Wenwu has confirmed one thing.

Although he could not summon the system panel now, and his Dragon Mansion and personal backpack were sealed by an unknown force, he was sure that the skills he had learned and his talents were still there.

However, these skills must be activated manually, and cannot be used by the body automatically with just a thought like quick casting.

Except for the Demon Spear.

This was something similar to a passive skill that was obtained from the blessing of the demon god.

Without automatic casting, Lu Wenwu didn't know how to release this thing.

And there was one thing that concerned him.

Even before entering the dungeon, he was still disliking the [Gun Mastery]. Can he start playing the main C now?

Lu Wenwu couldn't help but look at the several modified firearms scattered on the ground. He picked up a single-barreled shotgun at random and felt it in his hand. He loaded, unloaded, and closed the gun skillfully. Oh, this gun has no safety.

His mastery of firearms at the pinnacle level is enough for him to easily shoot bullets that can turn like those in the Assassin's League, and he can hit the target wherever he wants. It looks like he has opened a brute force lock.

"You...you...what did you just do?"

Liu Linan's stuttering voice was heard. He huddled in the corner of the room holding his prosthetic limb, the look of fear on his face not subsiding.

Maomao walked up to him, wagging his tail, licked his frightened face with his tongue, and smiled like a shining little sun.

"Don't be surprised, woof! It's just a special ability that the master uses for training, woof! The master doesn't usually eat people."

The gentle voice spoke words as cold as hell.

They don't eat people normally, but they do in special circumstances! ?

Instead of being comforted, Liu Linan became even more frightened.

Just when he was looking sad and didn't know what to say, he suddenly realized something and started yelling.

"Oh my blood hell! The dog spoke! The dog spoke!!!"

"What the hell am I dreaming about!"

Liu Linan's expression completely collapsed.

Maomao tilted his head, looked at him in surprise, and patted his metal leg with his furry paw.

"Maomao is incapable of speaking in this state, but I am using my mental power to send what Maomao wants to say directly into your mind! Your soul is too weak."

Indeed, as an ordinary person with some artificial bodies implanted, Liu Linan's soul that has not been cultivated is very fragile.

Maomao, who is known for his soul attributes, is able to easily send his inner thoughts into the other person's soul even though he is now sealed to the point where he only has a tiny bit of strength left.

It is not difficult to connect with such an unguarded soul.

However, it is more difficult to modify the opponent's will after invading, or directly delete the opponent's personality, wisdom, memory, etc.

When Maomao was talking to him, he could clearly feel a circle of shield-like things intercepting and defending him.

It should be a supercomputer chip installed in Liu Linan's brain, which is equipped with an artificial neural network system. This thing, combined with the brain after undergoing brain surgery, can greatly enhance brain function and improve protection at the soul and spiritual levels.

Didn’t the Butcher rely on this to barely break free from Lu Wenwu’s extremely weakened version of the Heavenly Might Dragon Eyes?

If it were an ordinary person who had not undergone brain modification, he might be scared to death.

However, what surprised Maomao a little was that Liu Linan's soul structure seemed a little different from the soul structures of other ordinary humans he had seen before.

Maomao didn't know why, but he just told his owner how he felt.

What’s more embarrassing is that Lu Wenwu doesn’t understand either.

So he chose to take a look with the Eye of True Vision.

[Scavenger Liu Linan (E)]: 755/800

【Cultivation】: None

Current Status: Terrified, Digitally Compiled Soul, Zulong Han - Experimental Type C Enhanced Transformed Heart, Zulong Ming - Apocalypse Type A Reactor, Zulong Song - Tiangong Supercomputing Auxiliary Chip, Zulong Song - Scholar-Official Integrated Nervous System, Bodi Type 3 Prosthetic Eye.

[Analysis]: Former Class B researcher at Zulong Technology's Auxiliary Prosthetics Research Department (Song). After being laid off three years ago, he became a scavenger until now.

What is a digitally compiled soul?

Lu Wenwu didn't know much about technology, and all the stuff about prosthetics and energy was directly taught to him through the Superhuman Federation Knowledge Pack.

He understands programming and digitalization.

Digital compilation of the soul involves some of his blind spots in knowledge.

Judging from the name, it might be a bit like digitizing the soul and storing it in binary form in a chip?

Like Johnny Silverhand?

However, it is a bit abstract for Liu Linan, an old man who is a senior intellectual in Coconut Juice City and has so many prosthetic bodies installed, to be able to end up as a scavenger, the lowest of the lowest.

Lu Wenwu, whose guess had no result, was not prepared to waste too much time on this, nor did he care how Liu Linan had fallen into such a state. He just patiently explained seriously.

"I know you're scared, but don't be afraid. A real man is a man of his word. I promised to repay and protect me, and I won't break my promise. You can rest assured about your personal safety."

"As for Maomao's ability to breathe fire and speak human language, and my ability to devour other creatures to replenish myself, this is actually a special ability. I wonder if you understand this concept?"

"Compared to those cyberpsychopaths whose hormone secretion is abnormal and their brain judgment is disordered due to excessive replacement of their own organs, I think my mental state is relatively healthy. You don't have to worry about us losing control."

Liu Linan swallowed his saliva and said tremblingly, "No, you don't have to explain. I believe you. I believe."

Do you believe it now?

Is the acceptance level so high?

Lu Wenwu was a little surprised.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Liu Linan could only smile bitterly.

How could I, a lame man who wasn't good at fighting, dare to refuse being in the same room with these two monsters who could easily kill fifty people?

Even if Lu Wenwu said now that he was a god descending from heaven, Liu Linan would still believe it.

At least the other party was willing to take the trouble to create a fake identity to deceive him, instead of just trying to save trouble by slapping him to death.

After swallowing his saliva, Liu Linan forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

He opened his prosthetic arm, which looked like a tool kit, and removed several screwdriver-like tools, plus his index finger.

"Now that things have come to this, you should see if you can make a usable computer. Although you have unexpectedly recovered your health, you and Maomao can't always rely on cannibalism to survive. You still need credit points." Liu Linan said.

He pointed to the finger he had removed that was still connected to the power cord.

"This finger has a micro soldering device built into it. You can use it for now. It's decent enough for soldering circuit boards. I'm just not sure if your prosthetic eye and arm, which haven't been modified or implanted, can perform this level of precision soldering."

"I'm in a state where I don't need that much trouble. I have special repair techniques."

Lu Wenwu shook his head slightly and picked out the most complete piece from a pile of electronic waste.

After checking the reasons for the scrapping, he roughly picked out a bunch of intact parts of various sizes from another pile of electronic waste and piled them together randomly.

He picked up a small stick with exquisite patterns from the neatly folded parts on the bed and pointed it elegantly at the pile of parts.

"Reparo."
