A mob of clones

Chapter 497 Tornado missed again

One Punch Man World, W City, Suburbs, House of Evolution...

The battle just now did not last long, but the damage it caused was not small at all.

At least the part of the House of Evolution that was exposed on the ground, as well as all the information and facilities inside, were reduced to dust and disappeared without a trace in the destruction.

Fortunately, some of the buildings of the House of Evolution buried underground are still relatively solid. Although the interior is badly shattered, it has barely avoided being completely destroyed by the previous battle.

At this moment, Yiquan Mist Core was walking here with Dr. Kinos, looking for anything that could still be used.

"Although I have all this information in my mind, it would be a waste of time to fully extract it."

"If there are still existing storage devices in the laboratory, then it will be hundreds or thousands of times easier for the House of Evolution to reopen than if there is nothing at all."

"I guess you don't want me to be a money-eating beast for a long time."

It must be said that when Dr. Kinos was in society, he definitely used his eloquence to defraud funds many times. He knows how to manipulate his superiors.

Anyway, Yiquan Wuhe was speechless after hearing this. He was already the boss, but in the end he could only hold his nose and follow him to the basement to look for information.

But whether this job is fun or boring, only Yiquan Wuhe himself knows...

The underground facilities of the House of Evolution are very large.

This place originally housed hundreds and thousands of clones of Dr. Kinos, so the space inside could not be small.

There are only two people on the ground now, so naturally they will split into two groups.

First, let’s take a look at the One Punch Mist Core.

He had previously swallowed a clone of Dr. Kinos, and basically had a rough idea of ​​what was useful and what was useless in the House of Evolution.

Coupled with his powerful strength and terrifying mental power.

With the help of a large number of Shikigami, they were moving various things and searching at a speed far faster than Dr. Genos on the other side.

Soon he found many items that were marginally useful.

In the previous impact, almost all electronic products in the House of Evolution were damaged.

However, there are certain exceptions, such as a deeply locked material warehouse.

Because some special materials are stored here, the interior is evacuated and the vacuum state is maintained at all times, so it barely survived when the sound waves swept through.

Some electronic facilities are stored inside it.

Yiquan Mist Core looked at the supplies in the warehouse and summoned a large number of Shikigami with a light snap of his fingers. Tentacles stretched out from the air, grabbing one item after another, pulling them all into the void and storing them in the space.

After doing all this, he clapped his hands and nodded slightly:
"With this wave of materials, it should be much easier to restart the House of Evolution."

The view shifts to the other side, Dr. Kinos's side.

Dr. Kinos is just an ordinary person. He does not have the powerful martial arts like the One Punch Mist Core, so he seems to have a hard time in the process of searching for supplies.

However, as he was walking, he suddenly heard a series of "xixisoso" sounds.

The sudden sound made Dr. Kinos instantly alert. He looked up and kept looking around. Then he found the source of the sound. It seemed to be an object buried by rubble falling from the collapsed ceiling.

Dr. Kinos basically knew what was inside his House of Evolution, but he was not afraid. He stepped forward and forcefully pried open the stones in front of him to reveal the thing that made the sound.

Then he saw a black gorilla with broken limbs, an antenna on its head that kept spinning, and tears in its eyes.

"Armored gorilla?"

"Ah~, Dr. Kinos!"

Looking at the person in front of him who saved him, the Armored Gorilla's tears disappeared and his face was full of disbelief.

"You are still alive?"

The armored gorilla is a typical person who talks about things that are not related to the topic. As soon as he opened his mouth, Dr. Kinos's face turned dark.

"What? In your eyes, I shouldn't be able to survive?"

Of course, Dr. Kinos also knew how dangerous the previous events were. First of all, there was the intruder, that is, the One Punch Mist Core.

He directly defeated all the fighting forces of the entire House of Evolution.

Then the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle escaped.

Taking the two things separately, if the former Dr. Kinos still had a certain chance of survival, then the latter would almost certainly die.

After all, Dr. Kinos was certainly aware of the resentment that the failed Asura Rhinoceros Beetle had for having imprisoned him.

Fortunately, the two events did not happen separately, but coincided completely with each other.

Although the former came to cause trouble, he had no intention of killing anyone, and the latter was also dealt with by the former.

Moreover, Dr. Kinos now has a new goal, a brand new method to achieve the future goal of human evolution. His mind is no longer on these things. Therefore, he did not think too much about this matter. He just stretched out his hand and pulled the armored gorilla in front of him out of the stone.

At this moment, the armored gorilla realized that there was something wrong in his words and lowered his head slightly.

"Private Marseille~, Dr. Kinos~, it was us who failed to protect your safety."

"No, actually you have tried your best. You are lucky to have survived those two incidents."

Hearing this compliment, the armored gorilla was quite happy at first, but as he listened, he felt something was wrong. The voice of Dr. Kinos he knew seemed a little different from this one...

He immediately raised his head slightly, and then a vision suddenly hit his eyes.

That is the One Punch Mist Core...

Instantly the armored gorilla's skull exploded, and the antenna in his head popped out unconsciously, spinning wildly. His eyes widened so wide that they almost flew out.

"Ah - intruder! Why are you still here?!"

Seeing the armored gorilla in front of him so shocked that his tongue was tied, Yiquan Mist Core couldn't help but smile slightly, but seeing the other party's current appearance, he didn't continue to tease him. He stretched out his hand to signal Dr. Kinos to explain the current situation to him, and then raised his foot to pass them and continued to move forward.

After a while, the armored gorilla realized that he had completely surrendered to the enemy, and heaved a sigh of relief, and fell to the ground helplessly...

This day was so exciting...

First, his limbs were directly removed by an unknown enemy, but fortunately he did not die!
Then I saw that Asura Rhinoceros Beetle guy coming out and running around rampaging.

After finally escaping a disaster, he was caught by the intruder again.

In the end, I discovered that I had surrendered to the enemy long ago...

The ups and downs of life came so suddenly that the armored gorilla said his little heart couldn't take it...

……

The two of them did not spend long sweeping the ruins of the House of Evolution.

Under the terrifying sonic shockwaves that were comparable to those of a hydrogen bomb explosion, there were actually not many objects left in the entire base.

First, all the clones were destroyed, and no one survived except the original.

Secondly, a large number of facilities were completely destroyed, and only a small number of small instruments and electronic equipment could be barely used.

Fortunately, various design drawings and theoretical knowledge are still used to manufacture parts and then assemble them. Although it is a bit troublesome to resume the experiment, it is no longer a "ten-year full-time" series.

The second one still alive is the armored gorilla. In addition to biological modifications, this guy also has a lot of mechanical modifications on his body.

With the double transformation, the performance was barely preserved during the sound wave. Although most of the body's functions were damaged, as long as the brain was still there, it would not be difficult for Dr. Kinos to repair it.

So Dr. Kinos took him out with him.

While walking on the road, Yiquan Wuhe took out an electronic product belonging to the House of Evolution from the space, flipped through the electronic data inside, and found the most recent experimental records.

Sure enough, he found the file belonging to Mosquito Girl.

He was quite concerned about this aspect. Of course, he was not greedy for the body of the mosquito girl. He was not so hungry, perverted and curious as to that extent.

He cares about the birth of Mosquito Girl, mainly because of the promotion of the overall plot of One Punch Man.

Although One Punch Mist Core's promotion speed now breaks through the limiter every now and then, he is still able to fight even if Garou comes later.

Even without the influence of the original plot, Saitama is still Saitama, and his invincible strength will not change much.

It simply means that Saitama no longer wants to be a professional hero, and at the same time he loses a personal valet, and Genos also loses a life mentor.

When disaster strikes, they will both be there, and when difficulties arise, they will not be absent.

It can be said that the One Punch Man world is the one with the least changes to the main storyline of the world among many anime and novel worlds. After all, there is no need to explain anything to anyone about an invincible life, just do it.

But from a personal perspective, One Punch Mist Core is more willing to witness the process of Saitama and Genos respecting each other, redeeming each other, and teaching each other.

Saitama and Genos are both the kind of characters that people can like from the bottom of their hearts.

The rest didn't matter, but if possible, he didn't want to make too many changes to the encounter between Saitama and Genos...

"Dr. Kinos, I see that among the latest batch of experimental subjects in your data, there is also an experimental subject called Mosquito Girl."

"Why didn't I encounter this in previous attacks?"

Hearing the question from One Punch Mist Core, Dr. Kinos was slightly stunned, then nodded and said:

"The evolutionary potential of the Mosquito Girl is much higher than that of the others."

"So I didn't rush him to carry out the mission directly. Instead, I further modified him and released him for experiments a few days ago. However, there is no specific news yet."

Hearing this, Yiquan Wuhe nodded slightly, even though he no longer worried about this issue.

As long as Mosquito Girl was not killed directly in the previous fight, basically nothing would happen.

All we can say is whether he will follow his original path to City Z and meet Saitama and Genos like in the original novel, then we will leave it to fate...

……

They walked out of the basement of the House of Evolution together, and with a punch, Mist Core stretched out his hand and summoned three huge swordfish, which swallowed Dr. Kinos and the armored gorilla into their mouths, and then let them fly on the spot and flew towards City X.

But Yiquan Mist Core was not in a hurry to leave.

He reached out and took out the cell phone that he had deliberately protected and had not been damaged in the previous battle, and immediately dialed the number of the Hero Association.

However, he was now in W City, so naturally the number he dialed was that of the branch in W City. After switching from the intelligent voice mode to the manual channel, Yiquan Wuhe put the phone there and waited quietly.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

"Is it the W City Hero Association?"

"Yes~, may I ask who you are~"

"I am the newly promoted S-class hero Mist Core. I am currently in the suburbs of your city. Here I have dealt with a group of weirdos called the House of Evolution. Please send someone over to deal with it."

After Yiquan Mist Core finished talking about the House of Evolution, the voice on the other end of the line was obviously silent for a long time.

Moreover, the voice of the person who dialed the phone immediately changed significantly, from the original female customer service voice to a male voice with a slightly heavy tone.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Mist Core?"

Hearing the change in voice, Yiquan Mist Core was not surprised at all, and nodded in response:
"It's me~"

"Was the huge commotion in the suburbs earlier also caused by your battle?"

"Yes~"

"Could you please describe in detail what you experienced?"

"OK……"

Just like recording a statement at the police station, Yiquan Wuhe did not show any impatience in the face of the staff's inquiries, and explained all the details in detail.

It includes the entire process of One Punch Mist Core being attacked in his original apartment building, then asking for the location of his assigned villa, finding out that the villa has been destroyed, and then finding the House of Evolution and completely destroying it.

Of course, as for Dr. Genos and the Armored Master Training, he naturally couldn't tell them.

After listening to all of this in silence, the person on the other end of the phone finally gave a definite response.

"A lot, Mr. Mist Core. The Hero Association will send personnel to verify everything you said."

"If everything you said is true, the Hero Association will reallocate a villa to you. I wish you a happy life!"

"Thanks……"

"dudu~"

Seeing the phone in front of him being hung up, Yiquan Mist Core took a look at the building where he lived, took a photo and sent it back to the Hero Association, then summoned a swordfish and flew into the sky on its body...

……

Meanwhile, on the other side...

"Dingling bell~"

Tornado, who was flying at high speed in the sky, suddenly heard the sound of her cell phone ringing. She slowed down her flight involuntarily, reached out and took out her cell phone from her pocket. Looking at the call from the Hero Association in front of her, an ominous premonition suddenly came to her mind.

It was obviously just an ordinary call, but seeing the familiar number, Tornado felt a chill all over his body.

It was as if there was something disgusting behind the phone, slowly reaching out towards me.

However, no matter how uncomfortable he felt, Tornado still took out his cell phone and answered the call.

"Hey~, what's the matter?"

Just as Tornado had expected, the next second she heard a piece of news that almost made her eyes go dark - "Tornado-sama, the matter in the suburbs has been resolved~, there is no need for you to go there again."

This fourth-score operation suffocated Tornado.

Tornado really wanted to curse, but she felt that it was not a good idea to do so, but she just couldn't help it.

Four days! Do you know how she survived these four days of tornado? !
In just four or five days, he went out on four missions, and all four missions were intercepted by others!

Where the hell did this dog with a human head come from?!
Suspended in mid-air, the tornado's time continued to emit green fluorescence, and the whole person kept pacing in the air, breathing deeply, trying to keep his heart calm, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.

It was not until a moment later that Tornado suddenly felt a gathering of malice under his feet.

It was like the silver-white ground after the heavy snow, and the leaf fragments that covered the entire ground with green suddenly grew a face at this moment.

Countless dead leaves condensed into shape at this moment, constantly gathering towards the center, and in the blink of an eye they were transformed into a giant hundreds of meters tall.

As soon as he appeared, he let out an angry roar towards the sky, as if he wanted to roar out the pain that had been accumulated in his heart for thousands of years.

"Wake up, human! I am the embodiment of the will of the forest! The Fallen Leaf Man!"

"Trees are the source of life. We bring you oxygen, but you cut them down wantonly!"

"Now I will destroy you on behalf of the forest's will!"

After a strange confession, he turned his head suddenly, and then saw Tornado floating in the air, whose anger had turned him into a Q version. He reached out to her without hesitation.

"Then let's start with you now~"

However, just as his dirty hand was about to reach Tornado, the new monster was shocked to find that he could not move at all.

He looked at his huge body with shock on his face, and vaguely seemed to see a layer of transparent film, which tightly covered his body like a mold.

And at this moment, Tornado's voice, which was filled with suppressed anger, slowly sounded in his ears.

"One or two, one or two, why do they all look like this?"

"Don't get too carried away, you guys!"

Veins popped out on his head and at this moment Tornado had a terrifying smile on his face. He looked at the open palm of the Leaf Monster in front of him and slowly clenched it. The Leaf Monster felt a powerful force pressing from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.

The terrifying squeezing force almost cut his body, which was originally several hundred meters long, in half.

Moreover, this crushing force did not completely disappear after that, but became stronger and stronger. In just a blink of an eye, the Dead Leaf Monster turned into a ball of dead leaves, which was still constantly compressing inward.

After about three or five breaths, the dead leaf ball that originally had a diameter of one hundred meters was directly compressed by the tornado into a solid sphere with a radius of less than five meters.

And the moment she regained control, she suddenly fell to the ground, creating a huge deep hole in the ground.

After doing all this, Tornado folded his hands across his chest, snorted, and then turned his gaze back to the mobile phone in his hand. He listened to the shallow breathing of the staff on the other side of the phone who was so nervous that he didn't even dare to breathe, and uttered another "snort" with a hint of anger.

Since the matter has been resolved, Tornado naturally has no interest in seeing a ruin with nothing in it. She just turned her head and flew back to W City.

However, while flying, she did not forget to reply to the Hero Association, and said in a slightly dangerous voice:

"I think you should give me a satisfactory answer to this matter, right..."
