Last Totem Novel - Chapter 519
Chapter 519 Shocked
More than 70 hours later, by 6 a.m. Dr. 3716-12-23 and 96 p.m. Satt time, the post-war rehabilitation of Crimson Peak Stronghold was finally completed through the efforts of a large number of logistical personnel and miners. Bars, hotels, gun shops, bakeries and other commercial facilities also opened.
In the red sunset, the patrols were carrying guns and slowly walking on the city wall. Occasionally, a sandbird or two would fly over and quickly pass through the building, leaving behind a few crisp cries. It was a peaceful and peaceful scene. It was hard to believe that just a few days ago in Silver City, this place had been ravaged by a tide of insects. Corpses, organs, and minced meat were everywhere on the ground.
On this boundless red Gobi Desert, people were already numb to danger. As long as they were still alive, they would soon be able to walk out of their sorrow and smile again. Now, for example, the bounty warriors who had just given their comrades their bounty turned around and threw themselves into the arms of the bar girl, drunk and dreaming to death. The miners also gathered together, eating the food prepared for them by the fortress restaurant, while talking about their family background, how lively it was.
Before it was dark, Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke finished their meals and called in a jeep and a driver to go to Sand Wind Castle.
A few hours later, after a journey of more than a thousand kilometers, the two finally arrived at Sand Wind Castle.
From afar, countless crows circled over the city. Before they could get close, they could hear the sound of “Gacaca”. Although it was extremely unpleasant to hear, no one drove them away, because the cleaning of the city required this group of sharp-eyed scavengers. The cleaners knew that wherever there were crows circling, there would be corpses.
When the jeep drove into the city, the guards on both sides were lazy and did not even have the desire to raise their eyelids to take a look.
At this moment, the city was still in chaos. As soon as the jeep drove into the street, a foul stench rushed over. It was as thick as rotten eggs and rotten meat. It was as dense as substance. Even a villain like Tie Zha, who was used to seeing mountains of corpses and seas of blood, couldn’t help but feel nauseous. Zhao Wenke, who had always been calm and calm, also frowned, looking a little unaccustomed. As for the jeep driver, he had already vomited and vomited. Even the yellow gall water came out. After giving up the driver’s seat to the iron slag, he hid in the back seat and covered his mouth with a wet rag. If he could not breathe, he would not breathe.
At a glance, the gates of the shops along the street were tightly shut, and there were wooden bars nailed to the windows. Many cleaners in dark blue canvas uniforms, masks and hats came and went, hauling corpses in carts.
“Heaven and earth are inhumane. Everything is used as a puppy.” Zhao Wenke sighed as he looked at the pile of rotting corpses on the cart. “This time, there are five or six more years of peace …”
“Is there no way to stop the tide of wild insects?” Tie Zha asked.
“Even the swarm of bees and ants can’t be dealt with by ourselves, let alone us.” Zhao Wenke smiled bitterly.
“Unless …” He thought for a moment, Then he continued, “There is a legendary Dark Gold Ant Queen who is willing to interfere, but I think the situation will only get worse …” Just as he was worried, if there really was a Dark Gold Ant Queen in the swarm that could control the wild insect tide, she would probably not sympathize with humans. Instead, she would sweep the human-controlled area into pieces, magnifying the original suffering by tenfold or even a hundred to a thousand times.
“Yes.” Tie Zha nodded in agreement.
“Actually, from a certain perspective …” Zhao Wenke hesitated for a while before saying, “Settling the insecticides in Sand Wind Castle is the right strategic direction.”
“Huh?” Tie Zha frowned.
“Ordinary humans are too weak against swarms of insects. More importantly, insecticides have excellent fertility, so …” He paused for a moment and said, “Only insecticides can resist the invasion of swarms of bees and ants.”
“What you said” Tie Zha glanced at him and said somewhat unhappily, “I don’t quite agree.”
Zhao Wenke immediately smiled and said, “Friend, please don’t misunderstand. I didn’t mean to say that you are a stallion. I just analyzed the problem from another angle and solved it …”
“Alright, I understand.” Tie Zha raised his hand and interrupted him.
“Alright, alright, alright. I was wrong.” Zhao Wenke laughed and said apologetically.
More than ten minutes later, the jeep drove out of the commercial street and onto the Ring Road. After more than half an hour, it drove out of the highway, past a dimly lit residential area and into the courtyard of a large hospital.
The hospital occupied a vast area. At a glance, there were hundreds of buildings of different sizes. All of them were white mosaic outer walls. There were buildings, warehouses, factories, chemical gas stations, power stations, water towers, and other buildings. They seemed to be an independent kingdom.
Above the gate was a neon sign outlining a line of words-Santa Maria Mechanical Renovation Hospital.
After entering the courtyard, Zhao Wenke dialed a voice communication and his old classmates quickly came out to welcome him. It was a well-proportioned Far East man in his twenties wearing a white coat and black plastic glasses. Looks like a little wooden, according to Zhao Wenke, the director is called Shen Bo, is his kindergarten classmate.
Hearing the words “kindergarten period”, Tie Zha almost rolled his eyes.
“Welcome.” Shen Bo extended his hand to Tie Zha and greeted him briefly. The two of them shook hands and got into the jeep and drove inside the hospital.
Along the way, the rigid-looking supervisor introduced his old classmates and sunglasses-wearing guests to the main buildings in the courtyard.
The largest, oval, gymnasium-like building is a morgue for bodies to be converted. The square-shaped building in the middle of the courtyard was the center of the dissection operation, where the corpse would be taken out of the brain and spine. The dozen or so arched buildings that resembled military barracks were assembly workshops. Inside was a semi-automatic assembly line with a “F” shape, responsible for assembling and modifying the mechanical bodies of humans. As for other buildings, they either store fuel oil, lubricants, chemical gases, medicines, nutrient solutions, special pipelines, small parts, and so on.
Shen Bo said that the Santa Maria Mechanical Renovation Hospital was not responsible for the production of mechanical components. It was provided by Central Heavy Industries and Western Heavy Industries, and part of it was also provided by RC Company. Their current state-of-the-art technology was capable of producing a Golden Beginner realm warrior.
“Don’t you have any devil biochemical technology?” Tie Zha asked. Actually, his interest in the technology was not that great, because he could not afford to spend the money. The reason he asked this was because he and You Ge had found the devil biochemical technology together.
“Not yet. Harley’s asking price is too dark.” Shen Bo lowered his head and pondered for a while, then said, “If you have such a need, you can go to the hospital in Elk City. I heard that the New Moon Alliance has bought the relevant patent right.”
“Is it very expensive?” Tie Zha asked.
“Enormous figure.” Shen Bo commented.
“What are the specific procedures for purchasing the reformers from you?” After Tie Zha finished asking, Zhao Wenke interrupted.
“First of all, let’s see if the CV and the parameters can meet your needs. We usually choose a body with a family member claiming it and signing a consent form, so the authenticity of the information is very high.”
“Then talk to the client, understand their thoughts and see if they are willing to serve you.”
“In addition, if the other party’s family members agree, you can also add a clause to the agreement, requiring the family members of the parties to be jointly and severally liable. In other words, if the parties are unable to perform their responsibilities, their family members must compensate for the corresponding losses.”
“Also, you can buy insurance. If the reformers break the contract, you can get compensation accordingly. But I must remind you that it is very difficult to obtain evidence in the war. The insurance company will probably use this as an excuse to refuse to pay.”
‘”Last but not least, because the physical condition and function before the transformation will affect the battle power after the transformation, some of the better corpses, such as those that did not use Jack, or those that lightly used Jack’s insecticides, will still take the risk of being modified even if they do not have any family members to claim them.”
“The stability of this group of reformers is relatively low, but their combat strength far exceeds that of reformers at the same price.”
“Therefore, when buying, we do not allow customers to come into contact with them. We can only observe them through the silencer glass wall and pay for them. The industry calls it ‘Gambling Soul’, which means gambling on the purity of the other party’s soul. And insurance companies do not accept any incomplete resume reformers for insurance.”
“What are the advantages of an insect transformant?” Tie Zha couldn’t help but ask.
Shen Bo paused for a moment and said, “The tolerance is stronger and the lifespan is longer. Normal humans will live 15 to 25 years, while insecticides will live 79 years. According to the relevant literature, the brain of an insecticide is easier to match with the demonic tissues.”
Without waiting for the two of them to express their doubts, he continued to explain, “Previous technologies have never been able to solve the problem of modifying the shock resistance of human brain containers. No matter how good a material is used, it is still unable to protect the brain like a human body.”
“Simply put, a body made of ordinary steel is no different from a body made of a Divine Craftsman grade high density alloy.”
“Because the modified brain is placed in a container filled with nutrient solution, it can only be fixed with plant fibre. Even if the body is not damaged, the brain is shocked to a pulp when it is hit at full capacity.”
“This has been the bottleneck in the transformation of human technology for hundreds of years, but …”
“Demon biochemical technology perfectly solves this problem.”
“It uses demonic tissue to wrap around the brain and form a symbiotic body, allowing it to obtain far greater shock resistance than a human body.”
“Theoretically, with the combination of demon biochemical technology and black oil power technology, a person can be transformed into a Pseudo-Saint Psionic Adept’s battle prowess.”
Shen Bo said excitedly, but Tie Zha and Zhao Wenke took in a breath of cold air at the same time. If this technology were to be widely used, it would be the consortium’s world.
“But” Shen Bo suddenly changed the topic and Zhao Wenke hurriedly asked, “But what?”
“There is another major flaw in the demon biochemical technology …” Shen Bo sighed and said, “The demon organization will gradually erode and transform people’s minds, making them berserk and bloodthirsty. In the end, they will lose their minds and become abyssals that rely on their instincts.”
“Is there no way to solve it?” Zhao Wenke asked.
“Long-term injections of inhibitors are needed, but if the other party intentionally does not use them, it will be very troublesome. Therefore, when they are undergoing modification, they will definitely install miniature bombs in their brains to prevent them from losing control.” Shen Bo pointed at his head and said.
