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 this can be traced.
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 he didn't carry out a combat mission last time, there is a lot left. Even if he doesn't use it, it will slowly be consumed in stillness and will always be restless. It is better to use it and let it enter a real sleep.
Soon it arrived in front of a house, where the Taiana spider stopped and circled around.
Chen Chuan didn't do any investigation. He walked forward and stood by the door to listen for a while, but he didn't feel any movement from inside. So he reached out and pressed the door lightly, and the door lock was shaken open. He walked in slowly.
After entering, I found, as expected, that the people who were originally here had left, and there was some kind of potion sprayed here, which seemed to be a deodorant or something.
This should just be 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 must have lived here. Judging from the traces, these people left in a hurry because they did not take away some leftovers.
Did they evacuate in advance because they expected someone to follow them?
Chen Chuan slapped his fist twice. The spider turned around and 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. It seemed that the group of people had left in time by car, and someone must have come to pick them up. There was no need to chase them any further.
I'll have someone check the house later to see if there are any clues. It doesn't matter if they don't find any. If they're involved in this incident again, these people will always come looking for them again.
He put down the briefcase, bent his fingers and tapped the back of his hand twice. The fighting spider then crawled back obediently and hid in the box inside the briefcase, and soon became silent.
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 really need to leave in such a hurry?"
Mr. Zero replied affirmatively: "It is necessary. You shouldn't have provoked that expert."
"Isn't he just an expert in ghost stories?" another young man blurted out.
Mr. Ling said, "That expert has some ties to the police. Since they were attacked today, I'm afraid they'll have them check the nearby residential areas after they return. You stayed there for a few days, and Su Xin, you passed through so many places on your way back. How can you say 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 you 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 on the other side 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. Besides, you might not be able to get rid of him. He's a student from Wuyi Academy, and his skills are extraordinary."
"Yes, he caught my arrow with his bare hands."
Su Xin also looked serious. 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.
"Wu Yi's student..."
After hearing this, these young people felt a little fear, a little yearning, and then more resentment, because if it weren't for the Blood Scar 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 base of a wilderness smuggling gang.
When this group of young people walked in under the leadership of Mr. Ling, everyone inside looked at them with indifference. 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. "The weapons you want are here."
"What's in it?"
The young men originally thought that there were some powerful firearms displayed here, but when they saw that 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, and it seemed to be still alive, with some slight wriggling, 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 there were several matching ones around it.
The young man seemed to have thought of something and blurted out, "Biological implant?"
Mr. Zero smiled and said, "Yes, it's a new implant, one of the hunting series. It's a deadly weapon. Who among you is willing to have it implanted? There's an implant doctor in the camp who can perform the surgery right now. With this implant, you'll have the power of a fighter."
Su Xin stood up and said, "I'll do it..." But before he could finish, the young man who had been arguing with him suddenly said, "I'll do it!"
"You..." Su Xin looked at him and hesitated, "Xiao Xiao, have you made up your mind?"
Xiao Xiao said, "I've thought about it. Brother Xing, you're very accurate with a crossbow. Installing this close combat implant would be a waste of your skills. I think it would be better if I could do it. That way, there would be two combat-capable people on the team. Besides, I'm physically better than you, and I've 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 carefully. After this thing is implanted, you may have to take medication all the time in the future."
Xiao Xiao hesitated for just a moment, then nodded vigorously and said through gritted teeth, "I've made up my mind!"
There was a hint of cruelty in his eyes. In this world, if you don't have the power of force, you can't protect yourself at all, let alone your family and friends.
And with force, what can't be done?
Mr. Ling said, "Actually, there's nothing to worry about. Although we'll need to rely on anti-alienation drugs, I can provide a batch. Besides, the Bloodstain Gang has plenty of them. They got their start by trafficking in illegal drugs. Let me tell you, if you can just rob them of their goods and use the drugs you stole, wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"
"that's all!"
Xiao Xiao couldn't wait to say, "Mr. Ling, please ask the doctor to come over and insert 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've found the experimental subject. We'll do the implantation surgery now."
"Voluntary?"
"Voluntary."
The implant doctor said, "Well, volunteers don't have as many intense emotions, so they have a better chance of survival. This way, we should be able to implant 30% of the implants."
"Only 30 percent?"
The implant doctor said, "If it were a fighter, 30% would be low, but he's just an ordinary person. 30% is the maximum. Any more and he'll definitely die."
"How long can 30 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. We haven't tested this model many times, so that's probably it."
"Two or three months? That's enough!" Mr. Ling said, "Go get the implant done. I'm in that tent."
"I'll be right there when I'm ready."
After a while, the implant doctor came out with a surgical tool box and walked into the big tent under the guidance of Mr. Zero. Then many young people came out.
After Xiao Xiao washed his whole body with medicine, he was sent to a separate compartment in the tent. His limbs were fixed with metal buckles. The implant doctor wearing a mask came in and started putting on gloves.
Xiao Xiao lay there, feeling very nervous. "Doctor, will it be successful?"
The doctor looked at him, walked 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 dropped down, and began to spray various pre-mixed medicines.
If we were in the central city, we would need a matching implant operating room, but this is the wilderness and we don't have the conditions. 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 it from 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 woke up in shock 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 flesh and bones, 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 looked at him anxiously and 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 from his hands, he bent the metal pipe.
Mr. Zero appeared from nowhere and said with a smile, "It seems you've adapted well. The hunting type doesn't emphasize strength, but it requires sufficient organizational strength to support speed.
There will be a second implant surgery tomorrow, which will be a protective membrane matching the hunting model, which 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 complete the implantation surgery, I will go and kill those enemies. And that damn expert, if he dares to get in our way, we will deal with him together!"
