Chapter 68
If that instrument could really control the deformed, and there were so many soldiers on the scene who had been affected by the deformation to some extent, the scene would definitely be worse.
Several soldiers in the car suddenly shook, and their comrades next to them quickly supported them. Jiang Zihan had a feeling of "as expected", as if a stone that had been hanging high in the air had finally fallen down, and the stone was covered with shit, making people want to bury it on the spot.
The communications in the mine were filled with noise, and some soldiers had already begun to indiscriminately attack their teammates. The worst situation had occurred.
Liang Luan was trying to contact Lu Chenyuan, but received no response.
There are very few people in the Federation who are not affected by distortion, and this device is simply hitting their sore spots.
Jiang Zihan rubbed her temples and used her mental power to set up a barrier around the observation car. She learned this trick from the Monkey King, but with the interference of the instruments, her movements became increasingly difficult.
Suddenly, her movements paused. Distortion was low, and she was still able to maintain a strong fighting force under the influence of the instrument...
It’s on site!
Jiang Zihan stood up and shouted, "Where are Zhuifeng and Dacang? Hurry and get them over here!"
Their distortion values were already very low back on the island, and combined with the high-level beasts' self-healing abilities, they should now be below 20%. Many S-level beasts had already been defeated by distortion, either imprisoned in the Land of Exile or otherwise rendered incapable of combat. The Shadow Organization likely didn't initially consider them as a variable.
Few people should know the data on the reduction of distortion of high-level war beasts. Jiang Zihan did not report it. In addition, Da Cang broke through to S-level in battle, so this data was classified as confidential, not to mention the war beasts such as the Instant Shadow Monkey King who were not in the military system at all.
The only outsiders who could see the situation on the island were the livestreamers. She was betting that the other side didn't fully understand the extent of the war beasts' recovery. She suddenly felt a little regretful. If Phantom Meow Xiaoyue and the others could also come out, perhaps the battle situation would be more clear.
The soldiers immediately took action. The sober soldiers knocked out their comrades who were not feeling well. The sound of people falling to the ground could be heard all around.
Liang Luan's face looked extremely ugly. He didn't expect that the biggest obstacle after the Seventh Legion set out would be this.
After the needle-pricking sensation in Jiang Zihan's head subsided, he decisively grabbed the protective suit beside him. Liang Luan was startled and quickly reached out to stop him: "What do you want to do?"
Jiang Zihan refused to let go: "I want to go in and see if I can destroy that device. There's no time. The longer we delay, the more people will suffer. Then we'll really be at the mercy of others!"
Liang Luan gritted his teeth: "If you rush in like this, he will beat me to death..."
Jiang Zihan dressed skillfully and said, "If you don't let me go, I'll have Zhuifeng and Shunying kill you right now."
The ears of the two big cats squatting not far away suddenly stood up, and Liang Luan experienced what it meant to be watched with eager eyes.
Before setting off, Jiang Zihan looked at the panda war beast guarding the door. Its distortion value was not low, so it could not be taken in for adventure. It might be because its high level made it difficult to control. Although it looked a little slow now, it did not show any signs of madness.
Jiang Zihan patted its belly solemnly and said, "I'll leave this place to you. Be a good boy and wait for us to come back."
She led the War Beast Squad to grope quietly in the low beam light. The tingling sensation from her solar plexus became more and more obvious. The underground had been transformed into a laboratory. Judging from the traces of construction, it should have been many years old.
The giant instrument described in the communication stood in the center, and the part that was visible outside was three meters high. A group of people were lying around the instrument, with no obvious external injuries. They must have been knocked unconscious as soon as someone noticed something was wrong.
Jiang Zihan didn't dare to use his mental power easily here. Seeing the Monkey King ready to make a move, he quickly reached out and held him down: "Be careful, there's an ambush."
There was a faint tremor in the mine, and there must be a fierce gunfight not far away. She was not a combatant, so her current task was to figure out how to stop the instrument from working.
The light computer next to the instrument kept flashing. Jiang Zihan went forward to check and found a lot of genetic modification experimental records in it.
This experiment is called the "Superhuman Transformation Plan". The ambitious Shadow Organization intends to use the war beast genes that have adapted to the human body to strengthen humans. After several rounds of adjustments to the human body, the medicine is milder and will not cause the horrifying scene of suddenly growing three heads and six arms.
These transformed people had already infiltrated into various legions. She punched the optical computer and finally understood why so many people rebelled so decisively, because they had been in the same group for a long time.
On the other side, several people who had finally escaped from the military encirclement were hiding in a secluded place. Qi Feng decisively took out his gun, loaded the bullet, and wanted to lead his men out without saying a word.
Ringo stopped him and said, "Are you crazy?! There are only military personnel outside!"
Qi Feng pushed him away and sneered, "As long as we kill everyone outside, we can take the opportunity to transport the equipment away, and no one will know about this."
Before Ringo could say anything, Linna immediately refused: "No, there are at least nearly a hundred people outside. Are you going to take your brothers out to die?"
Qi Feng's forehead throbbed. He grabbed him by the collar, his face ferocious with anger. "So what do you say we should do? Are you going to give up on revenge?"
"Of course not!" Ringo retorted, "But now is not the best time to do anything!"
"Not now? Then when is the right time? Wait until the army arrives and dismantles that machine outside before you start?" Qi Feng laughed angrily. "With just you, can you defeat so many people?"
Lina still wanted to continue to dissuade him, but Qi Feng's eyes were full of disappointment. He had tried every possible way and promised countless benefits before escaping back, not to be caught again.
He didn't bother to talk any more and just slashed Ringo unconscious with a knife. Lin Na was shocked and wanted to fight back immediately: "What are you doing?!"
Qi Feng dodged quickly and grabbed his hand. Lin Na struggled desperately, but was elbowed against the wall. The rock wall scratched his forehead, blood flowed down, and his eyes were red.
"I've been on the battlefield for so long before I awakened. I'm not someone a brat like you can defeat."
Qi Feng's voice turned cold. "I'm naive. I should have figured it out long ago. I'm fishing through the drains of Area D for limbs and sifting through mutant parasites, while Ringo is acting as his savior in Area B. He actually wants to empower everyone in Area B? What a waste of time and energy. In the end, how many people will be willing to work for him?"
He threw the man to the ground and said, "From now on, you all must listen to me. Those people outside must die."
…
Jiang Zihan continuously used his mental power to wake up the soldiers, and carried those who were still able to move to the safe zone first. The battle on Lu Chenyuan's side was also nearing its end.
He stepped on the rebel's back and grabbed the back of his neck. "Tell me, what's the key to resisting the instrument?"
The original purpose of the Shadow Organization's experiments was to strengthen themselves. They could not resist the temptation to become stronger. Those genetic modification solvents would definitely be used on their own people, so there must be protective measures when manufacturing this instrument.
Blood oozed from the corner of the man's mouth, but he only spat fiercely: "Why are you doing this? Let's die here together and be buried with my dead brothers!"
Lu Chenyuan frowned, but his mouth was still tough.
Jiang Zihan looked up at the huge instrument again. The surface was tightly sealed, like a solid wall of iron and steel, and there was no way to break it.
There must be another way.
Jiang Zihan called the Monkey King and the others over. The war beasts formed a circle around her, scratching their heads. The shells could not be broken, and the ground where they were placed had been reinforced, so the shadow mice could not get in. For a moment, they could not come up with any good ideas, and turned their expectant gazes back to her.
Jiang Zihan was a little anxious. He didn't know whether the rebels had any reinforcements. If he delayed any further, he would be trapped in the mine sooner or later.
Lu Chenyuan's ears twitched, and he quickly pushed Jiang Zihan to another corner: "Hide quickly, someone is coming."
He approached the door with a gun and immediately drew his gun when a figure appeared. However, the other party was prepared and the two men were in a stalemate with their guns facing each other.
Jiang Zihan shrank back silently, and her leg was suddenly bumped by something in her pocket. She reached out and touched it, and found that it was a tube of forgotten nutrient solution, which she had stuffed into her pocket without having time to drink it during the operation.
This nutrient solution was specially selected by Lu Chenyuan. It tastes like honey and is sweet.
Her hand suddenly stopped, sweet...
This mine had been abandoned for a long time. She had read about a species of rodent ant that lived beneath the ore heap. They had very sharp teeth and were particularly fond of sweets...
The Shadow Organization dared to manufacture instruments here, so the surrounding construction materials must have taken some protective measures. However, the fierce battle just now had created many holes, and some of the original ground was actually exposed.
She carefully unscrewed the lid and quietly poured the nutrient solution onto the ground. Now she had to see whether the instrument's casing was sturdier or the rodent ants' teeth were sharper.
Within seconds, the ground suddenly bulged, and rodent ants swarmed in. They gnawed at the shell, their teeth gnawing at the metal, making a rustling sound that made her ears numb. Fortunately, the little creatures quickly gnawed a large hole. Jiang Zihan was secretly delighted and quickly let the shadow mouse in.
Not far away, Qi Feng and Lu Chenyuan were still confronting each other.
Lu Chenyuan's attack was very powerful, but Qi Feng countered it and seemed much stronger than the last time they met.
He vaguely felt something was wrong and asked tentatively, "Did you inject the genetic modification solvent?"
Qi Feng sneered, "Why, are you tempted too? Unfortunately, I'm different from you. I will never leave any chance to the enemy." Then he punched him again.
However, these combat power enhancements seemed to have many side effects. Soon his movements became a little powerless. Qi Feng quickly retreated to create distance, and then took out a needle and decisively stabbed it into his arm. Lu Chenyuan kicked him away, but the opponent's strength was replenished and he could hold on for a while longer.
Jiang Zihan's eyes popped out, with a hint of resentment in them. He was really shameless, but since he could appear here, it meant that there were still many corrupt officials in the high-level military. He would have to file a complaint again after he got out.
The shadow rat's movements were very slight, but the gnawing noises were still somewhat obvious. Fortunately, the two were fighting so fiercely that they ignored the trick here.
Jiang Zihan stayed close to the instrument and used his mental power to guide the shadow mice. When they gnawed through the last main line, a shrill alarm suddenly sounded.
Qi Feng paused in his attack, realizing that he had been tricked, and swung his hand to fire a powerful shot towards the instrument.
Jiang Zihan did not feel the joy of success. She instinctively took a half step back, feeling something was wrong. Soon, the entire mine fell into an eerie silence.
Qi Feng's hand on the trigger was shaking, but he couldn't press it down. Then he slowly, slowly and uncontrollably pointed the muzzle of the gun at his temple.
Jiang Zihan's pupils suddenly constricted, because Lu Chenyuan's movements were also the same, and the eyes of all the psychics around the mine became blank at the same time, with even stronger control than before!
It turns out that the self-destruct program set in this instrument is to explode a controlled energy wave within a certain range, dragging a group of people to hell together!
"Ha, ha ha ha!" Qi Feng laughed until his eyes were moist, and his hoarse laughter echoed in the mine. "No matter how hard you try, you still fail. What's the result? If you just mind your own business, maybe you can live a hundred years longer."
The muzzle of his gun was pressed against the thin skin, but he didn't feel nervous: "You know what, it's quite interesting to see so many people die together."
Jiang Zihan watched the war beasts collapse to the ground, and regret deepened in his heart: "Are you from the Shadow Organization?"
"Me? I'm not." Qi Feng sneered. "Those guys ran away with the research results a long time ago. Guess which legion leader has the genetic modification solvent delivered to now?"
Jiang Zihan struggled to get up. The alarm of the instrument became more and more urgent. The self-destruction program had reached the final stage. Lu Chenyuan's hand holding the trigger began to tremble. This could not go on any longer. Her mental strength tried to break through the suppression of the instrument, and her brain felt as if it was being pricked by needles.
She couldn't help but kneel on the ground, and her huge mental power turned into countless fine threads, tenaciously pulling on everyone's fingers holding the trigger.
"Put down the gun!" The voice was hoarse, but seemed to carry a tremendous force.
The ground began to shake slightly, and the people in the car observing from a distance also recovered under control. They suddenly dropped the guns and sharp blades in their hands, and looked at the monitoring screen in shock. The original mental barrier was already shocking enough, but they didn't expect that she had even stronger energy!
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Liang Luan swallowed and said, "I'm afraid it's already more than S-rank."
But Jiang Zihan's condition was also very bad. Blood began to seep from all her orifices. Although she stopped everyone from committing suicide, the impact of the instrument did not end.
Lu Chenyuan looked at the bright red countdown on the screen, his whole body tense: "30 seconds left."
That was the final countdown to the outbreak.
Jiang Zihan's mental power penetrated the outer shell of the instrument and saw the twisted energy in the center. This core was too strong, almost a collection of several S-level mental energy. If she wanted to completely destroy it, she would need a lot of mental power. Once she continued, her mental power would most likely be drained, and even the source would be damaged.
But if left unchecked, the distorted energy hidden in the core will completely explode, eventually leading to an irreparable tragedy.
The war beasts came over.
Jiang Zihan lowered her head in a daze, watching them put their heads against her and rub against her trustfully. She shuddered, and her eyes felt a little hot.
"Okay, let's go together."
Several spiritual powers condensed into a rope and rushed upwards like moths to a flame.
There seemed to be a crisp sound of something breaking in her ears, as if something was collapsing. Her head seemed to be hollowed out, and there was a blank for a moment.
Qi Feng leaned against the wall, his lips pursed. He was just one step away. This woman's threat was too great, completely disrupting his plans. He gathered himself and raised the wall again.
Bang!
The bullets flew sparks, and two streaks of blood flew out at the same time.
Qi Feng felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He squinted his eyes and looked at the person standing in front of Jiang Zihan. He gritted his teeth and said, "Why, you're willing to give up your life for a woman?"
