Chapter 266
The empty syringe fell to the ground, making a slight sound, and then rolled away.
The middle-aged man's gaze in the projection followed the needle, as if his brain was rolling away with it.
Since the "master brain" did not issue any more orders for the time being, the mutants around them also went into a moment of silence, like a wonderful martial arts drama that was suddenly paused in the middle.
After a moment, the three-dimensional projection of the middle-aged man moved.
The three-dimensional projection could actually show the stiffness of his joints. He seemed to be struggling a lot as he twisted his neck towards Jiang Yunu inch by inch.
——Then he stared at the needle hole on Jiang Yunu’s arm.
In the previous battle, Jiang Yunu's combat uniform was not as tough as she was, and had long become a battle-damaged version.
In order to make it easier for her to move around, she simply cut off the sleeves of her clothes that were half-threaded and about to fall off, turning her long-sleeved uniform into short-sleeved in seconds.
Because she was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, she blocked the attack for Shen Yijing, allowing her arm to be inserted directly between the mutant and Captain Shen, and the needle tip pierced her very easily and effectively.
There were still clearly visible needle holes on Jiang Yunu's upper arm.
It pierced the middle-aged man's vision like a needle, and also pierced Shen Yijing's vision.
"You..." Shen Yijing finally activated his vocal cords and uttered the first syllable with difficulty. He raised his hand carefully and tentatively touched Jiang Yunu's shoulder. "...Are you okay?"
Jiang Yunu was not used to this kind of treatment.
It felt like she was a balloon that was inflated to the extreme and could explode at any time.
"He's busy." Jiang Yunu spoke concisely and gently nodded his chin at the middle-aged man not far away.
The middle-aged man went into a frenzy.
"No, impossible! Impossible, impossible, impossible!"
The middle-aged man's projection approached Jiang Yunu, even ignoring the long knife that Shen Yijing immediately held in front of her.
"My research and development can't fail!" the middle-aged man said resolutely and frantically, "All previous versions of the drug have been clinically tested and used on human subjects! Not a single dose has failed, and not a single dose hasn't reacted quickly!"
He circled around Jiang Yunu, frantically trying to figure out why Jiang Yunu seemed fine.
"You—are you more resistant to drugs? You have a perfect body that's better than any of them?"
"Or is it that your digestion of the drug is particularly slow? The drug enters your body, but the effect is delayed by your mysterious physiological system?"
"Why? Why?"
He even took the initiative to ask Jiang Yunu to report his feelings: "Tell me how you feel now! Tell me, do you feel the medicine flowing through your body now?"
Jiang Yunu didn't say anything, she just looked at him.
And this kind of gaze is enough for men to bear.
"Speak!" the man shouted, "Say something!"
The roles of the two seemed to be reversed. Jiang Yunu looked at the man as if he were a child who would make a fuss at the slightest dissatisfaction.
She looked at him quietly for a while, and confirmed that the mutants around her were still behaving well, and none of them seemed to want to break away from the crazy "core" and act independently.
She finally spoke calmly, "I told you, it's like an injection of enhanced glucose."
Jiang Yunu tilted his head.
"Before I helped Captain Shen block the needle, I might have been 'looking forward' to the effect myself. After all, I really wanted to know what this injection of medicine would do after entering my body."
The white-haired girl's voice was neither hurried nor slow, but Captain Shen sounded like he was about to have a heart attack.
When Jiang Yunu said the words "expectation" and "after all", Captain Shen's expression was simply indescribable.
He felt that he never wanted to hear Jiang Yunu say these two words again in his life.
Jiang Yunu was still taunting the middle-aged man's projection. She shrugged slightly and spread out her palms: "—But unfortunately, I tried my best, but I really didn't feel anything."
The middle-aged man's projection: "..."
The three-dimensional projection was so vivid and real that you could clearly see the middle-aged man clenching his teeth again. The muscles near his cheekbones bulged, and the nerves near his temples throbbed with the movement of his teeth.
Jiang Yunu said, "Why don't you explain to me what effect you expected this injection of medicine to have?"
Jiang Yunu asked this question sincerely.
This is not a mockery.
To some extent, she blocked the needle for Shen Yijing because she really wanted to know the effect of the potion and was even more curious about how the potion would work on her.
Jiang Yunu also noticed the change in himself at this time - it was too obvious, and it was impossible to pretend not to know.
What's more, she is a person who is honest with herself.
Ever since she entered the research institute, she felt that she was becoming different—it was a very wonderful change. Rather than saying that she was being changed, or alienated in a more advanced and silent way by the environment here, it was better to say that she seemed to be returning to a purer self.
The beast-like instincts of nature become more pronounced here, and the intuition is almost always accurate.
The combat skills that seem to be innate in the body can be used more proficiently here. Many newer combat thoughts and consciousness automatically emerge in the brain like springs, ready for use at any time.
She used to have many wild ideas, and was occasionally criticized by those close to her for her strange thinking, but when she came here, she found that every one of her ideas seemed feasible.
——This research institute base seems to be more in line with her developmental environment.
Shen Yijing had seen Jiang Yunu's supernatural vines surging and spreading everywhere, thinking that this research institute base seemed to be turning into her huge culture medium.
Maybe this association turned out to be a good one.
Jiang Yunu felt that the medicine that the middle-aged man instructed the alien to inject was like a tonic. She stayed here, just like staying at home... No, not home, it was like staying in a luxurious buffet restaurant.
"This potion..." The middle-aged man's projection finally answered Jiang Yunu's question, "This potion should allow the male student next to you to be transformed quickly. He will possess at least three elemental powers at the same time, and can undergo multiple stages of transformation, from human to half-human, and then from half-human to full alienation."
"If the drug works properly and the target is correct, he will now be able to switch between at least three forms to fight you. I can also use his transformed form to test the limits of your abilities and record your combat data, which will provide valuable information for further research on you."
Captain Shen had returned to his usual expressionless face, as if the recent gaffe had never occurred.
He didn't know why Jiang Yunu looked fine, and he didn't know why the potion didn't seem to work on her - just like he didn't know many things about her before.
But this did not hinder Shen Yijing's position at all.
He still stood firmly on Jiang Yunu's side.
"If you use me to test her, I'm willing to tell you the result in advance." Shen Yijing said, "I will lose."
It was the first time that Jiang Yunu heard him say so calmly that he would lose.
It's not like the two had never fought before, and when they first met on a team battle map, she felt that she and Shen Yijing were at best evenly matched.
Shen Yijing said he would lose.
Jiang Yunu thought about it and felt that given the current situation, Captain Shen might really lose.
——She has already improved a lot in a short period of time.
The middle-aged man's expression froze for a moment, as if he couldn't understand why a favored child born in the upper three districts would so naturally and proactively claim to be inferior to others, unable to provoke even the slightest bit.
"I don't think you have a high chance of winning either," the middle-aged man said coldly. "I just want data. I want a better reference for her combat power."
Jiang Yunu said, "Then why don't you fight me yourself?"
This question is light and airy.
Not passionate, not sonorous, not questioning.
Jiang Yunu seemed to be asking just casually, but the look in her eyes as she looked at the middle-aged man showed that she was serious.
Her other "vision" still exists, and she can still see the other party's "core" movements.
"You don't think that after fighting with the mutant you summoned, getting a shot of glucose, and watching you go crazy for a while, I would forget your 'true self', right?" Jiang Yunu said.
At the same time, outside the research institute base——
When the closed energy covering the entire Advanced League camp plummeted by another 10%, everyone in the nearest transit station was able to capture the camp's detailed coordinates and even see the camp's physical shadow.
The energy value dropped by another 10%, and one side entrance of the league camp began to appear as a complete entity, providing a rescue breakthrough point for all supporters to enter.
When the physical league camp gradually broke away from the energy control of the "Heart of the Secret Treasure" and had a breakthrough point, a communication signal that was tirelessly transmitted outward also seized the opportunity to escape the camp and was launched from the camp at the first time.
Even if they were not fighting deep in the underground research institute base, the students were doing what they could in the ground training hall which served as a safe base.
- For example, Duma, a student who is good at exploring signal networks, worked with his companions to build this new communication station within the camp.
The signal released by the communication station was immediately retrieved by the temporary conference room of the transfer station.
"We've contacted the students!"
The association's psychics who received the signal were excited and conveyed the good news to everyone as soon as possible.
"Where are the students? Are they all okay? What's the number of people?"
"Quick! Notify the first advance team entering the camp and send them the students' specific coordinates immediately!"
"How many people are in this advance team? Add more! Notice to the second and third teams to move immediately. One team will go in to provide reinforcements, and the other will be at the entrance ready to welcome the children!"
The liaison officer with special abilities received information in real time, and on the newly restored signal network, the information sent by the students was also intermittent.
The joy on the contact person's face suddenly faded a little.
President Shen keenly noticed her mood change and asked, "What's wrong?"
"The children didn't give a specific number," the liaison said. "They just said, 'Anyone who can is here.'"
