latent body

Chapter 12 Cerebral Plastids

Yan Shangzu strode over, stretched out the alloy steel claw installed on his right arm, and grabbed the scavenger's shoulder.

He saw very well, the sharp claws piercing through the fragile skin and muscles.This part is a purely biological structure that has not been modified.The man's face became as pale as paper, and the painful tearing sensation was transmitted to the brain along the nerves. His eyes bulged like frogs on the spot, and his extremely expanded lips were elongated into ovals. A hoarse scream came from the depths of his throat, released from between the tongue and the broken teeth.

"Let me go... Please let me go." He was out of breath from the severe pain, a lot of blood flowed from the wound, and his body began to tremble.

Scavengers are just "D" level primary bodies, not Yan Shangzu's opponent at all.

A vicious look flashed in Yan Shangzu's eyes, he stared at the struggling scavengers, without any intention of letting go of the steel claws.

"Since you can record this video, why didn't you stop that kid from leaving?" He asked sinisterly.

The scavenger turned pale with fright. He never dreamed that the other party would change the topic to this aspect. He could only endure the severe pain and stammered his answer: "I... I just stood by and looked around, it's none of my business!"

Yan Shangzu pulled out the fighting knife inserted obliquely behind him, and pressed the sharp blade on the lower side of the scavenger's throat.He could feel the slight touch of the blood flowing under the opponent's skin, as well as the horror and fear from his bones.

"Don't kill me...don't..." The scavenger almost lost his ability to think.At this moment, he knew very clearly that his life was hanging by a thread.

But what offended Yan Shangzu and caused him to have evil thoughts towards himself?
The scavenger's mind was in chaos, and he couldn't understand how to think about it.

A sinister smile flashed across Yan Shangzu's face, and the right hand holding the knife suddenly exerted force, and the blade easily penetrated all obstacles, cut off the scavenger's throat, passed through the gaps in the opponent's neck joints, and then circled the tip of the knife to remove a complete human head.

Killing is a skill.

For people who live in the wilderness, this is directly related to the issue of income.

Dead people can be sold for money.

According to normal circumstances, the biological organs and mechanical parts of the deceased are usually dismantled and sold separately.

Starting with the head, the most valuable thing is the brain.

After the war, the earth's surface was covered by thick radiation dust, and neither humans nor other animals and plants were spared.Under the premise of the mutation of the whole population, the brain also undergoes new changes.

Everyone's mutation is different, and the abilities they possess are also different.It is against this background that genetically modified agents and high-energy culture fluids based on human brains are produced.

Genetic modification agents are common high-end products on the market.This thing is very expensive, and its value lies in that it can improve the user's strength to varying degrees after injection.

This refers specifically to biological abilities.

Improvement effects include but are not limited to muscle strength, skin flexibility, bone strengthening, nerve center response regulation...

Similar potions can often be seen in old sci-fi movies.All in all, it is a mysterious liquid that can turn bad ghosts into superhumans with just one injection.It is said that there was a guy named Captain in the United States who also had this injection. Since then, he has completely got rid of his thin bamboo pole and turned into a big muscle bully, but he has to carry a small shield every time he goes to the toilet, probably to cover up the small size of the main body of the urinary organ.

GMOs are expensive.The name of this thing sounds scary, and it is tall and big, but it is actually almost useless to most residents of the underground world.Because its strengthening direction is always biological form, not mechanical.

In this special era, there are many ways to strengthen oneself, the most common being mechanical transformation.Compared with expensive genetic modification, installing mechanical accessories to double the speed and strength is definitely cheaper and more affordable.

A dose of genetic modification medicine costs at least two gold dollars, and the increase in biological strength does not exceed [-] kilograms (strike data).

A "Lanxiang Type II" universal mechanical arm only costs 120 silver horns. If it is a second-hand product dismantled from someone else, the price will be lower, but the lifting force of the arm claw can reach up to 35 kilograms, and at least [-] kilograms.

High-energy nutrient solution is another formulated product for the human brain.To some extent, its market value even far exceeds that of genetically modified drugs.Because this thing is not worrying about selling at all, no matter city dwellers or wilderness wanderers, or even mobs living in dirty and evil places, they will more or less carry one or two spares with them.

Its effect is equivalent to the amphetamines of the old age, and it also has the special effect of stimulating the human body to produce adrenaline.In the words of the advertising salesman, it is "to be happy to post, let you be surrounded by countless beauties in the kingdom of heaven, and at the same time have the most powerful power in the world to control and do whatever you want."

In terms of down-to-earth, it actually has a stimulating effect on the user that is equivalent to the drugs of the old era, but it will not cause any harm to the body.

Killing and taking brains can make money, but this kind of thing can't be done at any time or anywhere.

Although there is no law in the wilderness, there are pairs of eyes that are vigilant all the time under the pressure of survival.

Homeless people know how to "huddle together for warmth", and the Bonebreaker Gang is the best example.

The reason why Yan Shangzu tried every means to stir up public sentiment was that on the one hand, he instinctively believed that Ling Zihan could not be a fire-type supernatural being, and on the other hand, he wanted to explain to the Bonesbroken Gang.

After all, Wang Chao is a member of the Bonebreaker Gang.Although he blackmailed first, he was indeed one of his own.

As for organs such as kidneys, stomach pouches, and spleens, no one wants them except for special medical institutions in big cities.

Generally speaking, the overall benefits of killing people in the wilderness are far less than killing people in the city.This is mainly determined by market demand, and homeless people do not have relevant refrigeration and preservation equipment. Even if they have the opportunity to obtain fresh biological organs, they cannot maintain normal functions for a long time, and can only watch the fresh meat rot.

Yan Shangzu raised the head of the scavengers in his hands, looked closely at it for a few seconds, and then laid it flat on a flat rock beside him.

He took out a small chainsaw from his backpack and signaled to his cronies standing nearby to find him a torch nearby.

Yan Shangzu directly poked the head and face with a torch, the flammable hair was immediately ignited, the smooth skin also shrank due to loss of moisture under the high temperature, and an unpleasant burnt smell filled the air.

Looking at the unrecognizable head of the deceased, Yan Shangzu nodded slightly in satisfaction.He pressed the switch of the chainsaw, and with the ear-piercing high-speed spinning sound, he started processing.

As the irregular round bone fragments fell, the soft brain part was exposed.

Yan Shangzu took out a fist-sized leather bag from his backpack, untied the tether, took out a small handful of white powder from it, and threw it up.

This is carefully selected and ground mineral salt.

The proportion of brain matter and salt is usually three hundred to one.This is the purchasing ratio of brain matter raw materials announced by the Doctors United Association.This method is very similar to the production process of caviar in the old days, the difference is that the former is a "medical raw material", while the latter is an expensive top-level delicacy.

It is impossible for Yan Shangzu to carry a balance with him. In fact, this thing will never become a standard equipment for wanderers in the wilderness, so the amount of salt can only be determined by personal feeling.

Sprinkled with salt, Yan Shangzu took out a silver-plated spoon and started stirring.

He mixes it carefully, with slight movements, making sure that every grain of salt gets incorporated.

It will take at least 10 minutes to do the job.But judging from the income of at least two silver dollars, it is indeed worth paying for it, and there is nothing to complain about.

While stirring, Yan Shangzu looked sideways at the cronies standing beside him, then pouted at the two headless corpses lying on the ground, and casually ordered: "Assign them, and leave after I finish what I have in hand."

The reason why this scavenger was killed was because this guy really had no winks.He wanted to use the live video as capital to join the Bonesbroken Gang, and he wanted to get the benefit of two silver dollars, it was too greedy.

The Boneshards aren't just for everyone.Yan Shangzu welcomes powerful people to join, provided that they cannot pose a threat to himself.

As for the person who wished to take advantage of himself... it can only be said that he is tired of working.

The confidant asked subconsciously, "What about Wang Chao?"

He thought "distribution" meant only the scavengers.

"Wang Chao is also divided."

Yan Shangzu turned around and focused on what he was doing. His words were full of unabashed sarcasm and indifference: "He wants to die by himself, and he can't blame others. It will be a disaster for this kind of idiot to keep, but fortunately, someone will kill him for me. Let's divide it up. It's a benefit for the people below, so that they can be happy. It's a pity that the bastard's head is gone, that's two silver dollars!"

There was even greater noise and noise in the darkness. People surrounded the two corpses, and countless figures moved wildly, as if a group of sawtooth rats had discovered carrion and were vying to carve up their own share.

Um Sangjo has finished the finishing touches.

He pulled a modified extractor from his backpack.

This device is divided into front and back two parts.The tip is a large syringe without a needle.As the piston is pulled out from the end, the light gray thin paste-like brain substance is sucked in from the thick nozzle, and slowly flows into the steel cylinder at the rear end.

The brain paste mixed with salt is the raw material for the production of genetic modification medicine and high-energy nutrient solution.This semi-solidified substance can be stored for 72 hours in a special steel cylinder.

The United Doctors Association has purchasing stations in many wilderness settlements. As long as the goods are not spoiled, they will pay according to the price.

Killing and establishing prestige, Yan Shangzu divided the bulk.

He is content.

Next, head to Yazi Town.
