I Can Infinitely Synthesize Transcendent Genes - Chapter 124
Chapter 124: 114 Extraordinary-Human Genes +1 (Seeking monthly votes, recommendations, and support)_1
In a fast-food restaurant at the center of the city, Wu Feng expressionlessly finished his burger, then neurotically sucked on his tomato-sauce-stained fingers, muttering indistinctly to himself.
“Died at his hands again… How I hate it.”
This was already his second rebirth.
Many memories had already started to blur, which is the side effect of Death Replay.
He hung his head low, sitting quietly in a corner, lost in thought.
This was the second time he had experienced death.
The despair brought on by suffocation was still vivid in his memory, even now.
His gloomy expression seemed to recall something, and quickly became even more somber.
Wu Feng’s extraordinary ability was Death Replay—rebirth followed each death, but with each death, the point of rebirth drew closer to the time of death.
For instance, when he died the first time, he replayed to half a month before.
And the second time he died…
Wu Feng emotionlessly looked at the date displayed on his phone screen; he had now replayed to ten days before.
The first time he died was when a Big Black Dog tracked him down. He had just killed the dog when, in the blink of an eye, that demon head hurled him down from the twenty-something floor.
After the rebirth, he deliberately hid from the opposition, intended to leave Da Peng City, but alas, the whole city of Da Peng suddenly went into martial law. He was trapped, unable to escape and encountered the Big Black Dog once again. Just thinking of that demon head’s methods made Wu Feng’s scalp tingle.
It took a lot of effort, but he finally managed to escape the chase.
However, the frustrated Wu Feng eventually decided to give up running and started to research the demon head’s methods… As long as he acted quickly enough with the poison, even with strong Vitality, they would fall and be at his mercy.
Reality, however, slapped him hard.
The demon head’s methods were endless, toying with him like a cat with a mouse. Wu Feng even began to suspect—
The opposition had more than one extraordinary ability!
On the day of his second death, that demon head broke his spine and tossed him into a lake, watching him suffocate to death.
“Damned bastard! I must kill him!”
Thinking of the demon head’s methodical killing, Wu Feng felt both hatred and dread.
But if he remembered correctly, the guy had some connections to the Night Patrol Department.
“He’s with the Night Patrol Department?”
“Since when did the people from the Night Patrol Department become so ruthless? Even professional killers aren’t as professional as him.”
Wu Feng thought angrily, his expression showing some hesitation.
After this rebirth,
he specifically went through underworld contacts to order a specially made God Exterminating Stone that could counteract Vitality. If he restrained that guy’s Vitality, he’d like to see how he could still swagger!
He had already arranged for additional poison and was just waiting for the God Exterminating Stone.
This time, he was doubly prepared.
He refused to believe he couldn’t kill that guy!
If he didn’t make the first move, he would still die in ten days.
“This time, he must die!”
If there really was such a thing as fate in this world, Wu Feng truly believed in it.
Twice in a row, he died at the hands of the same person.
Only by killing the other party would he be able to rest easy in the future.
Without any surprise,
today was also the day when Da Peng City went into total martial law.
Outside the door, a police car zoomed past in a flash.
Wu Feng emotionlessly retracted his gaze.
He remembered seeing a green jeep, and he had memorized the license plate number.
If he searched by the license plate number, he would definitely be able to find that damned demon head!
“When we return later, do you want to try handling a gun?” Brother Bi got into the car and called out.
Pei Jinye nodded in response, “Sure.”
Actually, he knew how already…
It seemed Brother Bi had found another thing to boast about as he introduced the weapons and equipment of the Investigation Team like a treasured collection.
“You wouldn’t be interested in the low-end stuff, let me tell you about something high-end. Have you ever seen the Lightning Attraction Cannon?” Brother Bi said mysteriously.
“The Lightning Attraction Cannon?” Pei Jinye was taken aback: “I haven’t actually, how does this weapon work?”
Brother Bi gestured toward the sky, “On a rainy day, fire a shot into the sky, directly targeting the enemy, and then watch as a spear of the Thunder God descends. The striking distance of the first generation Lightning Attraction Cannon is two hundred meters, with a voltage of about thirty thousand volts.”
“Then that’s equivalent to a strike from a lightning-elemtranscendent.” Pei Jinye exclaimed in surprise.
“And it’s the power of a Second Rank Transcendent.” Brother Bi smiled: “It’s comfortable when fighting opponents with weak defenses one shot, and they all go down. If you’re a bit lucky, there will be one or two survivors. Unlucky, and they all bite the dust.”
Pei Jinye suddenly developed a great interest in the Federation’s high-end weaponry.
Smart integration of firepower with natural forces, comparable to a Transcendent’s intervention… No wonder the Investigation Team also had quite a few ordinary people in it.
That made sense.
Transcendents were the main fighting force in this world.
But they were too few in number.
Compared to the billions of ordinary people, they were like a drop in the ocean.
“Let me start you off with the basics first, and we’ll have the opportunity to show you real combat with the cannon later.”
Brother Bi stepped on the accelerator and quickly returned to base with Pei Jinye.
“The dorms in the base are currently all occupied. Do you have a place to stay outside or do you want to stay in my dorm for now? I mostly stay out anyway,” Brother Bi asked.
“No need, Brother Bi, I have my own place outside,” Pei Jinye promptly refused.
He didn’t want to be under Xing Tian’s constant surveillance.
Seeing his refusal, Brother Bi nodded and didn’t pry further: “Alright, I’ll get your pass to you later.”
At the shooting range.
Brother Bi taught seriously.
And Pei Jinye “learned” just as seriously.
“Pay attention to your posture, breathe steadily.” Brother Bi demonstrated beside him when suddenly several gunshots rang out from the side.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”
The rhythm of each gunshot was very steady.
Pei Jinye turned his head to look.
The person was already walking over with a gun: “Niu Fangbi, I never thought someone like you could be training new recruits now?”
Brother Bi’s gaze remained unchanged: “None of your business.”
The man sneered, looking at Pei Jinye: “Kid, if one day you don’t want to be abandoned by your teammate, leading to your untimely death, find someone else.”
Brother Bi looked up at him.
This was probably the first time Pei Jinye had seen Brother Bi expressionless.
The other party didn’t seem to care as they turned away, gripping the gun with one hand and walking, firing off all the bullets in the magazine.
Every bullet hit the bullseye precisely.
The other man put down the gun and, without looking back, left.
This silent declaration made Brother Bi’s face turn a bit ugly; he seemed to have remembered something.
“I’m going to wash my face; you keep practicing.”
Brother Bi said and left the shooting range.
Pei Jinye silently withdrew his gaze and maintained a shooting stance, but he was reluctant to pull the trigger.
After a while, someone nearby couldn’t help it and blurted out, “Why aren’t you shooting?”
Pei Jinye guessed without turning his head that it was Gu Wutong.
He replied without changing his expression, “No bullets.”
“That’s boring,” Gu Wutong grabbed the gun Brother Bi had just put down, loaded it with bullets, and took a confident shooting stance.
“Bang!” “Bang!”…
Pei Jinye had a dark line on his forehead.
You’d think the person was a master by their stance, but out of ten shots, only two hit the target.
“How’s that?” Gu Wutong asked, full of excitement.
Pei Jinye guessed he had read the target paper wrong and silently shifted his gaze, holding a shooting stance for a while.
“Old Pei, do you want to know why that guy just snapped at your instructor?” Gu Wutong whispered.
Pei Jinye, holding the gun, glanced over lightly.
“Old Niu used to have a master who introduced him to this field, but early this year, during an operation, the master was sacrificed to protect Old Niu. That man just now is his master’s own nephew. He has always believed that it was Old Niu who killed his uncle.”
Pei Jinye suddenly understood and asked softly, “How do you know so much?”
Gu Wutong just smiled, “Wanna have a fight?”
Pei Jinye shook his head.
Not interested.
It wasn’t long before Brother Bi came back, glanced at Gu Wutong who had just left, and said with irritation, “Did that kid come to you for sparring again? Don’t bother with him if there’s nothing else; although he doesn’t have any ill intentions, he’s just a fight fanatic.”
Brother Bi then handed Pei Jinye’s pass over.
“The base side has already registered. Although this is a temporary pass, Xing Tian has already made a note. You can freely enter any places that aren’t confidential.”
Pei Jinye took the pass.
Brother Bi added, “This is also a meal card, and there is money in it; don’t lose it. The Investigation Team’s working hours are generally from 8:30 am to 11:30 am, and from 2:30 pm to 5:30 pm. Sometimes there might be overtime due to emergencies…”
Brother Bi was detailing everything.
Pei Jinye listened by his side.
Before long, a target paper was brought in front of him.
Two bullet holes on the upper edge.
“Did you shoot this?” Brother Bi looked over curiously.
Pei Jinye directly ratted out Gu Wutong.
Brother Bi chuckled, “So the kid has weaknesses after all.”
As they were speaking, Brother Bi’s communicator transmitted Xing Tian’s voice.
“Team member Niu Fangbi, hello. Second Group Leader Xie Zuxin is looking for you, please go immediately to office room 429. The optimal route has already been designed for you.”
Brother Bi looked at Pei Jinye, “You practice shooting for a bit, I’ll go first and come back later to have lunch with you.”
“Okay, Brother Bi, you go ahead, don’t worry about me.” After Pei Jinye saw him off.
His gaze locked onto a spot.
A green Attribute Light Group was hovering over the grass to one side.
Pei Jinye casually walked over.
His fingertip touched it.
A stream of information instantly flooded his mind.
“[Omnipotent Extraordinary Fragment +1]”
Before Pei Jinye could check,
suddenly, from not far away, came several impatient dog barking sounds.
At that moment, Pei Jinye’s communicator also transmitted Xing Tian’s voice.
“Team member Pei Jinye, hello. Your pet is currently provoking the police dogs in Area C, please go there immediately to stop it!”
Pei Jinye’s face darkened.
Area C.
When Pei Jinye arrived, dozens of members from other teams were comforting the robust police dogs. In contrast, the Big Black Dog, baring its teeth, stood on high ground, utterly smug.
But when it suddenly turned and saw Pei Jinye with a frosty face, it immediately started to whine pitifully, pretending to limp on its left leg, as pitiful as can be.
The members of the other teams witnessing this scene were almost having their worldview shattered.
“Is this really a dog?”
“Isn’t it too good at pretending?”
“But was it really bitten just now?”
A burly man approached, “Hello, I’m Zhuang Heng from Group Five, is this your dog?”
“It’s not,” Pei Jinye flatly denied, “This is an important ‘witness’ that Senior Bi and I brought back from the crime scene; all the related procedures have been completed. We’re still waiting for our team leader’s decision on how to proceed.”
Hearing Pei Jinye’s claim, the man opened his mouth but swallowed back the reproach that was on the tip of his tongue.
“Important ‘witness’?”
He looked over doubtfully.
The Big Black Dog was pretending to be injured and pitiful on the spot.
Feeling that it wasn’t enough, it also prostrated on Pei Jinye’s high-top combat boots, seemingly ignorant of the world, as if it would soon bid farewell to life with a wave of its paw.
“Yes, it led us to the victim’s body. Let’s not talk about this,” Pei Jinye changed the subject. “The police dogs just now, are they alright?”
“They’re fine; they have been specially trained and won’t act rashly,” the burly man hesitated for a moment, “But you should keep an eye on this dog. I saw earlier that it was quite fierce.”
“Hmm, I’m also considering whether to take it for neutering,” Pei Jinye’s words froze the wagging tail of the Big Black Dog mid-air.
It rubbed its head vigorously against Pei Jinye.
Panic-stricken inside.
