Chapter 404: Eating people can be done in many ways
"Rather than saying I'm a genius, it's more like your business model has regressed."
Lu Wenwu changed his posture slightly and used a little bit of energy to improve his self-recovery ability. He slightly repaired the injury on his right arm and was able to move it barely.
He untied the neatly wrapped gauze, revealing tender skin with pink new flesh growing underneath, which did not look very pretty.
"Buffets are quite common in our area, although I don't have a big appetite when I still need to eat at a buffet."
"It's an amazing ability to self-repair"
Liu Linan looked sideways.
He didn't care about the buffet. His eyes were completely attracted by Lu Wenwu's right arm, as if he was admiring a work of art.
"I now feel more and more that my previous actions were absolutely correct. If the people from Zulong Company find out, I can't say what will happen to you and Maomao. I will definitely be silenced."
"It's really hard to imagine that Zulong Han had already created such a perfect life transformation technology two hundred years ago, but now they have regressed because they can't replicate it. It's like monkeys returning to the Stone Age."
"It sounds like you know a lot of inside information. What you know doesn't seem like information held by lower-level people." Lu Wenwu raised his eyebrows. "Also, this place we're staying in now shouldn't be your daily residence, right? There's no sign of habitation here at all."
"Just a small employee who was optimized by the company's supercomputer big data. This is the apartment I once bought."
Liu Linan had no intention of hiding his feelings, but just smiled bitterly.
"You can probably tell that without a stable source of income, I can't afford the various paid services here in the long term."
Lu Wenwu was puzzled. "Why don't you just use the paid services? Why not just treat it as a house? Having a house is safer than sleeping on the street, right?"
Liu Linan was silent for a moment and pointed to the air outlet on the window that simulated sunlight.
"If you don't pay, the room doesn't have air filtration, and because the room is so tightly sealed, there's practically no natural air circulation. In other words, if I don't pay, I'll suffocate to death sleeping here. I might as well sleep in a shack in the slums, where at least there's some natural sunlight."
Now both of them were silent.
Even breathing is taxed.
Lu Wenwu didn't ask why the idle houses were not rented out or sold.
It's obvious that in a society where money is taken to the extreme, the upper echelons such as consortiums, companies, and enterprises should find ways to restrict the behavior of buying low and selling high.
This can be circumvented by making up a clause such as "only permanent right of use, no ownership".
Or simply say
Only they can make a profit from the price difference. Ordinary people should just work like slaves and enjoy the blessing of 996 all their lives.
The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps.
Steamed buns? Are you not convinced?
Sorry, but money really can do anything.
Oh, no, maybe 996 is really a generous treatment in Coconut Juice City.
"Speaking of which, I only have enough money left to pay for seven days of air filtration. The package I bought also comes with six hours of artificial sunlight," Liu Linan added. "So we'd better hurry now. If we go back to the shack now, we'll definitely be caught by scavengers."
"So cautious, don't they know you have a house here?" Lu Wenwu was a little surprised. "It seems that even if I don't agree, you won't be in big trouble."
"There has to be some secrets. Besides, a good death is worse than a miserable life."
Liu Linan shook his head, not wanting to talk more about this matter, and simply changed the subject.
"Let's get down to business. If you want to be a mercenary, there's a hurdle you can't avoid. Let me confirm one thing first. Do you have any prosthetic modifications, network chips, supercomputer chips, or the like?"
"No, it's 100% pure flesh." Lu Wenwu shook his head.
Liu Linan frowned slightly and rubbed his temple. "That's a bit troublesome. I don't have enough money to buy you an internet-connected device. If you don't show up, it's hard for the employer to trust me, a cripple, by myself."
"It's reasonable to keep personal information, payment accounts, and identity information confidential. However, if you can't provide effective contact information at the time, it will be difficult to close the deal. No one will trust someone they can't even contact."
"Unless you're one of those legendary mercenaries who has your own middleman."
All things are difficult at the beginning.
But right now, this seems a bit too difficult.
Lu Wenwu pondered for a moment and asked, "You should be able to find discarded gadgets like cell phones and computers at the garbage dump, right? Those kinds of devices that can connect to the internet externally?"
"Yes, there are plenty, but what's the point? Do you want to rely on recycling old motherboards and CPUs to refine the insignificant gold they contain?" Liu Linan asked puzzledly. "In that case, you might as well use your extraordinary strength to pick up scrap metal with me. Maybe you can make more money. If you can find a prosthetic body with minimal damage, you can sell it for a good price."
"Prosthetics are fine, as are cell phones and computers. If you can help me check them, I can try to see if I can fix them." Lu Wenwu grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Although I'm not an expert in this area, I know a little bit."
One billion points, just one billion points.
Not only does he understand prosthetic modification and mobile phone and computer repair, he can even build cold fusion reactors, one-way light field shields, fluidless thrusters, compile advanced artificial intelligence, and manufacture low-Earth orbit starships.
In the copy of the Battle of Justice, Lu Wenwu obtained all the technologies of the Fallen Light Energy Clan, the Superhuman Federation, and the Comic Robots!
During previous battles, he had observed the cybernetic cyborgs' modified bodies.
He hasn't seen any high-end modifications yet, but the auxiliary modifications embedded in the Butcher are not as good as the SA-12 Servo Assist and SA-25 Iron Soldier in terms of combat performance.
This thing can withstand the explosion of 500 kilograms of concentrated explosives without being damaged!
Not to mention that Comi Robot's body transformation technology has already reached its peak, and it can even directly transform the flesh and blood body into a Gundam-like existence like AT-AT, a pure and efficient war killing weapon.
It doesn’t matter if we don’t have element 710, as solar energy technology, hydrogen batteries and micro reactors can completely replace it.
Anyway, the reason why robots and the Superhuman Federation use that thing is just for super-space jumps and because it is cheap enough - after all, it is a by-product of biochemical transformation experiments.
In other words, if Lu Wenwu had the conditions, he could even directly switch jobs and become a philanthropic doctor.
This kind of high-end talents are definitely high-income people, a level that the real low-level people cannot catch up with even if they work hard for their entire lives.
It was precisely because the gap between the two was so huge that Liu Linan did not believe what Lu Wenwu said for a while.
After all, it is really ridiculous that the experimental subjects from two hundred years ago knew these things.
In the end, Lu Wenwu was forced to show off the knowledge in his head, and he finally believed it with doubt, and promised to do his best to find as many as possible.
Just as Liu Linan disguised himself and went to another garbage dump in Coconut Juice City to look for waste materials, the seriously injured Maomao finally woke up.
Compared to Lu Wenwu, Maomao's injuries were relatively minor.
It was simply because he had overdrawn his spiritual energy and was mentally exhausted that he was in a coma for a long time.
After eating two tubes of nutritional paste with a grin on its face, its spirits had recovered a lot.
I'm just waiting for Lu Wenwu to use the Nine Breaths Qigong to open up the void channel after having a full meal and pass some spiritual energy over. Then the injuries on his body will be healed immediately.
This kind of common physical injury is easy to recover from.
I thought Liu Linan would be gone for a long time, and there might not be any results within a day or two.
Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, he came limping and pushing open the creaking door, carrying his huge backpack, with a happy look on his face.
In addition to a large number of scrapped computers, there was also a spear that looked dim and slightly rusty, about two meters long.
Lu Wenwu saw the familiar dragon head logo on it, and two large vermilion characters engraved like silver hooks and iron paintings - Overlord.
"We were really lucky today. I happened to catch the garbage truck when I went there, so I was able to grab some good stuff."
Liu Linan wiped the sweat from his forehead, took out another thirty black nutritional pastes from his bag, and threw them all on the bed.
"Before, you said you could repair my prosthetics and help me upgrade them, but I felt it was more important to give you two food so you could recover from your injuries first, so I took the initiative and changed it to this."
"Oh yeah, there's this one too. It's the Liuhuo, the Overlord series spear Zulong Han released about thirty years ago. It's equipped with a high-frequency particle oscillating tip and can switch between hot melt mode and long-range laser mode."
"Don't be fooled by its appearance, but I've tried it and it's actually still usable. It's much better than my old knife."
"I guess some rich kid bought it for fun and then forgot about it, so it didn't take good care of it and ended up like this. Those rich people just threw it away."
"Although the Overlord series isn't as good as military-grade weapons, it's still considered a very good professional-grade cold weapon. It's primarily for appearance and fancy features, but its actual lethality and energy conversion rate are significantly lower than military-grade weapons."
"If it weren't for this gun, I'd probably stay out until at least the evening. The garbage truck doesn't come at a fixed time, so I was lucky to catch it today. Otherwise, I wouldn't get this much on a normal day."
"Thanks for your hard work."
Lu Wenwu said this, without being polite to Liu Linan, he directly grabbed twenty-five strips of nutritional paste and put them into his mouth.
Artificially synthesized nutrients are absorbed and broken down by the powerful body, converted into more refined energy and transported to various parts of the body.
The originally lifeless flesh and blood came alive in an instant, the burned and charred parts quickly fell off, and the bloody and bloody area kept wriggling, growing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just five seconds, all the injuries on Lu Wenwu's body were completely healed, and his powerful self-recovery ability was fully demonstrated.
Although his body fat percentage was still as pathologically low, and his muscles were stretched everywhere like a mummy, at least there were no physical wounds.
"call"
Lu Wenwu let out a long sigh, feeling his current weak state of recovery, and nimbly rolled over and got down to the ground.
With a slight clench of the fist, a strong sense of power arises spontaneously.
Liu Linan stared at everything that was happening before his eyes in amazement, extremely shocked.
This abnormal level of self-repair ability is a bit too incredible!
It's even more outrageous than the nano-repair potion that's priced by milliliter!
"Old Liu, although you have been very cautious, you still seem to have underestimated your compatriots' ability to collect information, as well as their desire and greed for money." Lu Wenwu patted Liu Linan on the shoulder.
Liu Linan was stunned and opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could say anything, Lu Wenwu asked again: "Can you kill someone here?"
".Theoretically, no."
"Okay then, what are your requirements?"
"Uh, we need to act quickly and dispose of the body cleanly. We can't let patrol robots or security personnel find it. Although this is just a low-end residential building, the Gridus Company will still maintain a minimum level of order."
"I understand."
Lu Wenwu didn't explain any further. After spitting out two words, he stood at the door and waited quietly.
About half a minute later, he suddenly opened the door.
The force was so great that even the door handle was deformed.
Four "fully armed" stunned faces appeared, as if they were frightened by Lu Wenwu's mummy-like appearance.
Without waiting for their weapons to fire, Lu Wenwu took a sudden step out of the house.
He put his fingers together to form a sword and stabbed four times like lightning, each strike hitting the head!
Four crisp sounds of skulls being pierced rang out almost simultaneously.
After doing all this, Lu Wenwu did not make any unnecessary movements. He reached out and picked up the two outermost bodies whose consciousness had not yet completely dissipated, and threw them directly into the house.
As he stepped back, he hooked his arms, and the two corpses closest to the door fell in together.
Then, close the shop and call it a day.
The whole process, from starting to closing the door, takes no more than two seconds.
Four corpses with bloody holes on their heads lay steaming on the floor of Liu Linan's small house, with blood oozing out.
Although he had seen it once, Liu Linan was stunned again.
Open it!
How did you know that the other person was right at the door at that moment! ?
Killing four people in two seconds, is this really true?
For Lu Wenwu, this is not difficult.
They are just a few guys with some modified prosthetic bodies. At best, they are ordinary people who are a bit fierce, but not top mercenaries.
Although the hot weapons in their hands can cause fatal damage to Lu Lu Wenwu, they also need to have the reaction speed to fire the gun.
It was even easier for Lu Wenwu to kill them with his bare hands than to swat a fly - flies not only fly fast, but also have strong perception.
Just when Liu Linan wanted to ask how to deal with the four bodies.
Seeing how Lu Wenwu handled the situation, he could swear on his dead parents that he should have fainted from fright just now - even though he actually didn't have any parents.
He now regrets knowing this.
