Chapter 145 Chapter 145 Fusion of Orcs
In the rebel zone.
The rebel zone did not lift restrictions on residents within it, but only opened a special area outside the area for everyone to visit.
When Mu Yan and Feng Jin arrived with their team, quite a few people were already there.
Especially those patients with terminal illnesses were transported here in truckloads.
Soldiers in rebel uniforms lined both sides of the road, all lined up in an orderly manner at the door.
Regardless of gender, age or status, everyone must undergo multiple rounds of inspection to confirm they are free of any harmful weapons before being allowed in. Once inside, the rebels will re-attach their ID chips.
The surrounding area was bustling with people. People were sent over from all districts, even the federal district was no exception.
The crowd was crowded together, most of them were whispering to each other.
The Xisha District sent over a dozen people this time, each one carefully selected. In addition to the combat soldiers...
"Professor Hou, the examination will be conducted in about half an hour."
Mu Yan and Feng Jin stood in front and behind, creating a safe and relatively comfortable distance for Hou Sen.
In fact, the original plan was to have Hou Sen's researchers accompany him, but Hou Sen was afraid that they were not experienced enough, their observations were not detailed enough, or there were omissions, so he insisted on coming in person.
Although he is a professor in Gaojiang District, he has been working in Xisha District for the past year and has made significant contributions there. Furthermore, he is by far the most knowledgeable expert on fusion orcs in both districts. He also led the development of a new weapon targeting pollutants, specifically focusing on fusion orcs.
Therefore, ensuring his safety is their most important task on this trip.
This trip is two days and one night, but it will end in the afternoon. Hou Sen and An Ze will return to the Xisha area first, and the others will leave the next day.
They'd been worried before arriving, but felt more reassured afterward. It wasn't just them; other districts had also sent research teams here. The Federation even sent a team of experts, comprised of over a dozen professors, to conduct an investigation, claiming they were responsible for protecting the lives of the people.
Hou Sen glanced at the patients entering from another passage nearby and asked in a low voice, "How many patients can be transported in today?"
An Ze quickly simulated and calculated the data. "I've been observing for ten minutes. At the current rate, at least two hundred people can get in today."
Two hundred people, and this is only the first day.
An Ze whispered, "Many people come from the radiation zone. The treatment and rehabilitation are free, so it attracts many patients from the radiation zone."
This was revealed a month ago. The research institute in the area where those people were located made a huge mistake when conducting antimatter energy development experiments half a year ago, resulting in a large amount of radioactive material being released into the environment, so that the surrounding areas were seriously polluted and turned into a high-radiation zone.
The district chief and management, fearing responsibility, simply claimed it was a new epidemic and isolated all patients seeking medical treatment. It was only because someone noticed something was amiss that the incident was brought to light.
"The main symptoms for patients in the radiation zone are gene mutations and gene chain breaks, nervous system disorders, and suppressed immune system functions..."
Existing technology cannot directly reverse this problem, and even if they survive and successfully give birth to offspring, there is a high probability that they will pass on the genetic problem.
This batch of patients were sent here lying on hospital beds, and they should be patients who don't have much time left.
Hou Sen: "Make sure to mark the samples."
An Ze nodded quickly, "Don't worry, I've already done it."
With so many people coming and going, it's the best time for the rebels to attract support. So if they want to show the superiority of the fusion orcs, they will definitely convert these people into fusion orcs as soon as possible.
Hou Sen came here this time to find out how long it takes for them to transform a fused orc and how the fusion is done.
Although the rebels have released a lot of information, it only integrates the physical data of the orcs.
After waiting in line for another half an hour, they finally got in.
The venue was newly built by the rebels early on, and it had everything from food and drink to toilets and urination. All purchases had to be paid for with their New Federation currency. The exchange rate was 1:1, and the prices were very favorable.
And once they get in, they are very free. They can move around as they please or leave directly.
As soon as you enter the gate, you will see food stalls on both sides of the road, and there are many people gathered in front of each stall.
Mu Yan looked around and said, "They're selling plants, no wonder their business is so good."
The Xisha region already boasts the largest plant-covered area in the world, boasting a vast and diverse crop planting area. However, it's not clear that plants can be sold at such low prices.
On the left, someone was even selling green grass juice for 50 New Federation coins. This kind of grass juice was also sold in the Xisha District, with a flavor specifically designed for herbivorous orcs, but the grass content in the Xisha District was definitely not as high as this.
Because the grass juice sold by the rebels is dark green.
An Ze: "This price is really good. Let's buy some to take back."
After a round of shopping, everyone bought quite a few things.
They brought a lot of boxes with them. Anze packed all the things he bought separately and put them into the boxes carefully.
Feng Jin took the bottle of green grass juice, sniffed it, and handed it to the others. "Not bad, you really spent a lot of money on it."
An Ze also sniffed it. "It's not as good at purifying as ours, but it's better in terms of concentration. However, the seeds must have been cultivated by Master Ye Ning."
Although the plant concentration is high, the plants in the Xisha area have the scent of leaf lemon.
The orcs in the Xisha area should be able to feel the difference intuitively.
They could hold it in, but people in other areas nearby couldn't. Many of them just stood there and drank the grass juice in one breath.
Everyone who drank it praised it highly.
There are also many people who envy those in the rebel zone who can always buy plants at such low prices.
Even with the vigorous cultivation and promotion of Ye Ning, the number of plants in the world has shown explosive linear growth compared with the past.
But on average, people in many areas may not even eat plants once a month. So the fact that the rebels can sell plants at such a low price is very attractive.
Plants are also part of their strength. I don’t know whether they have been hoarding these plants for a long time and are using them all at once, or whether they are also being planted on a large scale and quickly.
Even with Yan Gang included, the rebels only had three pure humans. Hu Ding's abilities were unknown, and the level of Yan Gang and Feng Yue...
The green grass juice was passed to Mu Yan, who sealed the bottle again and put it carefully into the box.
No matter how high the plant content of these things is, they dare not touch them.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that the rebels had previously released new pollutants everywhere, killing many people.
Walking a little further inside, the view suddenly opened up. Cheers and shouts echoed one after another.
Five massive open-air arenas were arrayed on the open ground. Circular in shape, constructed from sturdy metal, they stretched dozens of meters in diameter. A softly luminous wall surrounded the arena's edges. Anyone struck outside this range or surrendered would be considered the loser.
Around the ring, various high-speed intelligent cameras were suspended, capable of recording the entire battle process. Above the ring, several massive holographic projection screens broadcast the action in real time.
There are special viewing areas around the arena. There aren't many people here now, but it's getting more lively as more people come in.
As soon as they came in, they saw an orc being kicked out.
It can be seen that the fused orcs on the ring were very restrained. After the challenger hit the specially made soft wall on the outside, he immediately climbed up unscathed.
In the five arenas, people were kicked out almost one after another, and then the next minute, new orcs would be added.
On the holographic projection on the upper left side of the ring, numbers were being called out at an extremely fast speed.
Mu Yan looked at the surrounding environment and said, "Professor Hou, the view from that position should be better."
For safety reasons, the audience seats weren't too close to the ring. But they had already prepared observation equipment, and the orcs had good eyesight, so this distance wasn't a big deal.
Feng Jin first settled Hou Sen down before taking the soldiers who were ready to participate in the challenge to line up for numbers.
It took about ten minutes for them to come back.
Feng Jin shook the chip number and said, "The queue is one hour later."
"They say you can only challenge once a day. There are five arenas, each for five levels of Fusion Orcs. S-level Orcs are all assigned to the A-level Fusion Orcs arena. Only those who successfully defeat the A-level Fusion Orcs can challenge the S-level Fusion Orcs."
In fact, the number of S-rank orcs is also exploding. Because pollution levels have dropped significantly, everyone can now eat plants from time to time. As a result, many orcs who were previously stuck at A-rank and struggling to break through have now made a breakthrough.
But the rules clearly tell everyone that S-level orcs cannot beat A-level fusion orcs.
The rebels have spoken so bluntly, and many powerful individuals will undoubtedly feel dissatisfied. If no S-rank orc succeeds in the next two days, it will surely attract more powerful orcs. This will then provide them with further publicity.
However, the battlefield doesn't rely solely on mental strength; experience and strategy are also crucial. The soldiers in the Xisha region are experienced and work together well, and in the recent holographic battlefield military league, they always defeat their opponents with overwhelming advantages.
So, today's challenge: if we win, we'll continue to strengthen our confidence. If we lose, it can also dampen everyone's spirits and show them that the rebels are not so easy to deal with.
Hou Sen and An Ze were carefully observing the A-level fusion orc on the stage.
If Hou Sen wasn't too old and unfit to fight in person, he would definitely go to the ring himself to see it.
They also brought a special data analyzer, which will be worn by Feng Jin and the others.
The analyzer will not only be able to record videos directly, but also help them record data on the battle process in real time.
However, these people were knocked down too quickly. During the time they had been sitting here for more than ten minutes, the A-level fusion orc on the ring had already defeated five people, not including the time these people took to get on and off the stage.
It seems that I still have to fight them in person to get some clues.
On the way here, An Zecai gave them emergency training.
However, Hou Sen emphasized again, "Once you're on stage, you must observe carefully. Do not ignore anything that seems strange or wrong, even if it's just a fleeting thought."
Feng Jin nodded, "Don't worry, we have it in mind."
They weren't here to fight.
Everyone watched carefully again, noting that there were no moves or techniques to worry about, as those who went up were still quickly knocked down.
Within an hour, hundreds of orcs failed in their challenges across the five arenas. The fused orcs on the stage were replaced only every half hour, and each one looked incredibly capable.
Many people in the audience initially looked disdainful, but as the match progressed, their expressions gradually grew serious. Especially when they saw their teammates, friends, and acquaintances being knocked off the stage one by one, their faces grew increasingly grim.
Someone couldn't help but murmur, "These fused orcs are so powerful! We really underestimated them before."
Another person frowned, "That guy just now was quite powerful, yet he was defeated so easily."
"Yeah, I originally thought that the people who challenged us were not strong enough, but now it seems that we underestimated our opponents."
Everyone was talking at once, and the atmosphere gradually became tense.
Those who failed the challenge returned to the viewing platform one after another. People who knew them immediately gathered around and asked about the situation on the stage.
"Are those fusion orcs that strong? How did you get defeated so quickly?"
The expressions of those who failed the challenge were indescribable.
"Their strength far exceeds our imaginations. Their power, speed, and even muscularity have been greatly enhanced, far surpassing that of ordinary S-rank orcs. And as soon as I stepped onto the stage, I felt a tremendous pressure, similar to that brought on by pollutants. Even their smell and movements were similar to pollutants. I just touched their bodies, and they were extremely hard, like hammering against some heavy metal..."
The people in the Xisha area observed and listened carefully to the discussions of those around them, not daring to slack off in the slightest.
An hour later, Feng Jin also stood on the challenge stage.
