Chapter 411: Disadvantageous Change of Home to Save the Defeat
After listening to the reports from his subordinates and discovering that Wang Banxian's usual trading point was deserted, Vulture felt very angry.
Ever since he, a small-time thug at the bottom of society, founded the Carrion Birds with a few brothers, and relied on his daring and fighting spirit to become the largest scavenger gang in the downtown area, no one has dared to challenge his authority in this way for a long time.
Not to mention fooling around!
That kind of complete disrespectful deception!
He was actually very clear in his mind that he had come this far.
As the gang leader, he is neither able to rise nor fall.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he and the Carrion Birds are a vicious gangster and a powerful force as huge as the sky.
But in front of those real ruthless people and big shots, he is nothing.
Although the scavengers appear to be numerous and powerful, in most cases they only do dirty work such as stealing and selling some second-hand and broken prosthetic bodies.
The real gangsters and mercenaries who do the hard work look down on Vulture, and the real tough guys living in the upper town look down on him and his gang even more.
Even though they usually exchanged business compliments in a friendly manner when they met, it was impossible to conceal their deep-seated contempt for him.
This has always annoyed the vulture.
But he had no way to deal with it.
If the gang wants to grow, transform, and expand new businesses, it needs talent.
But who among the truly capable people would look down on a bunch of trash guys?
A rich garbage man is still a garbage man.
At most, they engage in despicable activities such as human trafficking, organ recycling, and sexual relations between men and women.
In this city that seems to have no classes but in fact has invisible classes as solid as the Wall of Sighs, as long as you don't climb to the top, there will always be people who look down on you.
The vultures who created the scavenger birds are well aware of this.
It's difficult to turn things around.
It’s even harder to climb up.
We must seize every opportunity.
Because no one knows whether this opportunity will be the only one in this life.
This is also the reason why he personally led a team here today.
Vulture suspected that Liu Linan's disappearance and the deaths of the Butcher and others were related to the original experimental subject.
At the battle scene, even though most traces were wiped out by the nuclear explosion of the micro reactor, the two ancient hibernation pods survived.
This is a detail that Liu Linan overlooked.
They are too beautiful and too strong.
How precious must a hibernation chamber be to be able to survive a close-range nuclear explosion after being placed for at least one or two hundred years, and even to basically maintain the integrity of its overall structure?
That is something that can only be destroyed with the plasma high-frequency cutting device produced by Zulong Company!
So, Vulture led the team here himself.
He didn't believe that the original experimental body would perish together with the butcher in the nuclear explosion, and he didn't believe that Liu Linan, a low-level scavenger who struggled to make ends meet every day, had any great ability to eat two such corpses by himself.
There must be an expert behind the other party!
The charlatan who leaked this news is the biggest suspect, and he does have connections in this regard.
Vulture didn't know what kind of deal the two had reached, and he wasn't sure whether Wang Banxian had the support of other more powerful forces behind him.
But he knew that the benefits that could be exchanged for the original experimental subjects were enormous.
Even though the danger is equally huge, even though there is a high possibility that he will be killed by Zulong Company, Vulture is still unwilling to give up this opportunity to continue to climb up.
and
Perhaps some people believe in so-called religions and gods, and believe in those seemingly mysterious words and methods.
But the vulture didn't believe that.
He is a pure atheist.
He firmly believed that what Wang Banxian showed were nothing but tricks of a liar, and that he himself was nothing but a liar with good words and luck, not worth mentioning.
The only thing Vulture believes in is the combat prosthesis and weapons implanted in his body!
"Damn it, haven't we figured out where those three secret passages lead to yet?"
Vulture, whose body was transformed by various retired military prosthetics and looked almost like a robot, and whose image was like the immortal Joe, asked viciously.
"Sorry Boss, not yet!"
The men's voices sounded a little panicked.
"Not only did the charlatan install numerous security doors in the three secret passages, but each passage also splits into three more paths after a certain distance. We're already trying our best to explore them, but brute force will take time!"
"Break the door with violence? Are you all a bunch of idiots? I seriously doubt your brains are filled with intestines!" Vulture cursed. "Where are the hackers? Why do I keep you around?"
“.”
There was a brief silence in the voice channel, as if someone didn't know how to explain this matter.
Just before Vulture was about to start cursing again, one of the hackers who had been severely humiliated explained awkwardly:
"Boss, the enemy cut off the energy supply after escaping. We've been trying to access the energy system. Their technical capabilities are very strong, so we had to resort to physical means to barely restore the energy supply."
"But the other party seems to have been prepared for this. The locking methods used by the safety doors in the passage are all purely mechanical structures. After falling, they must be physically removed or restored. This is not a problem that can be solved on a technical level."
Vulture: “.”
This time it was his turn to be silent.
After a brief silence and embarrassment, the anger in his heart was like gasoline, burning more and more fiercely.
"Damn it, you're a psychopath, a rat in the gutter!"
The vulture cursed angrily.
As a sensible boss, he also knew that he had just committed the big taboo of an amateur commanding the experts.
Scolding your subordinates at this time will make people feel discouraged.
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his anger, and tried to make his voice sound less aggressive.
"Exhaustion"
Before the word "quickly" was uttered, a huge red exclamation mark pop-up window appeared in Vulture's sight.
What followed was a shrill alarm that only he could hear.
Suddenly, the vulture's sinister face changed expression, and the artificially enhanced facial muscles twisted and twitched unnaturally.
The modified artificial neural bundle he implanted was a military item with a soul ring. He spent a very long time digging it out of the body of a retired soldier, piece by piece.
Due to the unprofessional technique, the artificial nerve bundle, although reliable in terms of stability, would occasionally have some negligible minor problems when he was emotionally excited.
"Fuck this bastard! He's really tired of living! Tired of living! He just came here to get himself killed!"
Vulture's hands were shaking with anger, and he rushed towards his car like a cannonball.
Before his men could react to what was happening, he had already stepped on the accelerator to the floor and sped towards the base camp at lightning speed.
It was not until a few seconds later that the gang members, who were looking at each other in bewilderment, heard Vulture's angry curses on the voice channel.
"I'm going to dismember these two clueless bastards alive! I'm going to make their brains into living flower pots!"
"What the hell are you all standing there for! Your home has been robbed! You're a bunch of fucking losers!"
In the southern part of the lower city of Coconut Juice City, there was a constant roar coming from a group of buildings that looked like unfinished buildings.
This is near the largest electronic component processing plant in the downtown area and is the largest non-corporate recycling center in the entire downtown area of Coconut City.
Likewise, it is also the base camp for scavenger birds.
Now, this place has welcomed some uninvited guests and is facing demolition.
A large number of factories collapsed, and garbage that had not yet been recycled was scattered all over the ground, mixed with the building debris, making it difficult to tell what was what.
The roar of the explosion continued to sweep across everything nearby, and wailing and screams rang out from the passage leading to the underground area, mixed with all kinds of obscenities.
What's strange is that although a fierce conflict had just broken out on the ground, there was not a single corpse here.
There were only patches of blood and blood mud mixed with dust, as well as some prosthetic fragments that were damaged beyond recognition.
This place once experienced a brutal massacre.
The corpse had been cleaned and became the purest source of energy, which was replenished into the demon's body.
That was Lu Wenwu who was gradually getting excited!
Ever since the members of the scavenger birds retreated to the underground fortifications and he successfully broke into the fortifications, he was like a wolf among a flock of sheep, killing them to his heart's content.
It was not until now that Lu Wenwu suddenly realized something.
There are some benefits to coming to this place after your strength is sealed.
At least there are many targets where he can attack with all his might without worrying about causing too much damage and affecting the environment, or not being able to find an opponent because he is too strong.
Here, Lu Wenwu used the Mars fighting magic and the basic killing moves in the military fighting technique to the extreme, using his physical strength to fight against the transformed prosthesis, killing many people and causing rivers of blood.
"Why are you hiding? Why are you closing the door? Are you not welcoming me?"
Lu Wenwu grinned and stretched out his hand towards the heavy steel gate in front of him. His ten fingers sank into the steel as if inserting tofu.
He tensed the muscles in his arms and pulled them hard to the sides.
The heavy and solid steel structure immediately let out a teeth-grinding groan, twisted and deformed in front of the shocked gazes, and was torn into two unrecognizable pieces.
It's as easy as tearing a piece of cardboard.
"Die, devil!"
“Go to hell ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!”
"Don't come over here! Don't come over here!"
What greeted Lu Wenwu was a violent metal storm and roars mixed with intense fear and despair.
"I still prefer the guy who used cold weapons just now. It seems that he is your deputy gang leader?"
Lu Wenwu muttered to himself as he rushed into the hail of bullets, dodging all the incoming bullets with a ghostly movement that seemed slow but was actually as fast as lightning.
He moved forward rapidly under the violent fire net, but he was as relaxed and free as if he was strolling in the garden, without being attacked at all.
"It's a bit boring to fight with people like you."
He muttered something again and took out two ordinary pistols from his waist.
“Bang!”
“Bang!”
Continuous gunshots rang out, followed by continuous muffled thuds as people fell down.
In the complex underground environment filled with a large number of machines, Lu Wenwu fired bullets casually.
The Eye of True Vision can see through the trajectory of energy flow and can easily perceive the location of surrounding life forms, leaving no place for enemies to hide.
The yellow brass bullets seemed to be able to turn and hit the members of the Scavenger Bird Gang who were hiding behind various bunkers at all kinds of incredible angles.
Every time a gunshot was fired, someone's head exploded and their mind was blown open.
The most C episode about gun mastery.
Faced with these guys who didn't even have high-powered weapons, Lu Wenwu had no intention of killing them using the method he was best at.
That kind of killing is too slow, wastes energy, and is not cost-effective.
He just rushed forward and killed along the way.
Just like the legendary god of death, wherever he goes, all those who resist will die.
The fallen corpses still had expressions of fear or unwillingness on their faces.
Their bodies melted like wax under a strange force, turning into wisps of strange blood-colored mist that gathered into a ball and sank into Lu Wenwu's body.
These corpses were undoubtedly the lowest-level nutrients that the Great Art of Devouring Gods had devoured since its inception, but they were also the largest number devoured.
Win by quantity.
Ever since he broke into the base camp of the carrion birds, the Nine Breaths Subduing Qi has never stopped!
With sufficient energy supply, he can let go of the restrictions on his body and enjoy the joy of increased purity.
In addition, the large number of prosthetic bodies dropped by these gang members and the many supplies in the scavenger bird warehouse can also be converted into a large number of credit points, providing Lu Wenwu with sufficient energy substances to maintain his purity after the battle.
Now, his [Physical] attribute is heading towards the 400 mark, reaching an inhuman realm.
With his current physical strength, combined with the power of qi and blood, he is already able to withstand bullets from some small-caliber firearms, and is no longer so powerless when facing firearms.
Judging from the information provided by Wang Banxian, in terms of strength alone, Lu Wenwu has undoubtedly surpassed everyone in this world.
No matter how powerful the prosthetic transformation is, even if more than 95% of the body is cyborgized and only the head is retained, the pseudo-mechanical warrior cannot compete with him in terms of pure strength attributes.
This is without taking into account fluidless propulsion, which can forcibly improve the performance of combat prostheses for a certain period of time.
However, Lu Wenwu’s distance from becoming the number one in strength attribute again is not too despairing.
Human body modification has its limits, and it is impossible to superimpose it indefinitely like a machine.
The more prosthetics you have, the more likely you are to develop cyberpsychosis.
Only the pseudo-hive cluster consciousness of Cyberstein can ensure that the body and mind do not get out of control. It is basically impossible for a non-humanoid Gundam like the Combi robot that uses wetware as the central control system to appear.
"Devouring these guys. The energy conversion efficiency is still too low."
After killing the last member of the carrion bird gang, Lu Wenwu stopped practicing the Nine Breaths Subduing Qi.
While eating the high-grade nutritional paste, he silently absorbed the energy essence transformed from flesh and blood, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
Now I just hope that the gang’s warehouse can be a little more powerful, or that Coconut Milk City can develop a little more energy supplements.
Otherwise, relying solely on the advanced nutritional paste and the magic of eating gods, even if the supplies are fully replenished, his [physical] attribute can only be maintained at around 500 at most, which is still too dangerous when facing large-caliber thermal weapons.
No matter how high it is, even if he devours the essence of flesh and blood non-stop, he will not be able to withstand the consumption of the battle.
