Doomsday Totem

Chapter 13 Ability
When the gun battle started outside, Iron Slag locked the cabinet door tightly, closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sounds outside.In case the two sides throw grenades at each other indoors, he can respond in time.At this moment, a shuttle bullet hit the cabinet door, making a "dang dang dang" sound, and a row of protrusions appeared on the inside of the cabinet door.Iron Slag looked at the bump caused by the gunshot, and secretly sweated. Fortunately, the 9mm round bullet of the submachine gun could not penetrate the iron door, otherwise it would be bad.

The fierce battle in the laboratory intensified, and people were killed every few seconds.Seeing that there were fewer and fewer companions around him, the mercenary captain shouted loudly: "Brothers, fight them!"The moment he got up and threw the grenade, dozens of bullets were shot in his chest.

The mercenary captain stared at his chest with wide eyes, and fell backwards, spitting blood.

With a loud "boom", the two Red Scorpion players hiding in the aisle were blown to pieces by the grenade, blood and minced meat covered the walls.

"Fuck! Blow them to death!" Accompanied by the roar of who knows which side, both sides took off the grenades one after another!
Iron Slag heard the sound of several grenade pull rings mixed with the gunshots, and immediately lay down in the file cabinet with You Ge in his arms.In the next second, an earth-shattering loud noise erupted in this not-so-spacious room.This was the result of several continuous explosions of grenades. At that moment, it seemed that the entire laboratory was shaking.All the glassware on the test bench burst, shattering into countless glass slags and flying around.At the same time, half of the light tubes shattered under the high pressure, and the documents originally placed on the test bench were torn into pieces and flew in mid-air.During the aftershocks, the fine sand on the ceiling slowly fell...

The powerful explosive force overturned countless objects, including the filing cabinet where Iron Slag and Yu Ge were hiding.Tens of seconds later, Tie Slag kicked open the severely deformed cabinet door with great effort, and pulled You Ge out.

In front of me is a picture of purgatory on earth, with broken torsos all over the floor, those stumped limbs and broken arms scattered everywhere, blood and organs splashed on various objects...

You Ge covered her mouth, the bloody smell so thick as to make her retch.

"Check carefully, if it's not dead, give it another shot." Tie Slag said lightly.Unaffected by the smell of blood, he directly pulled out the machete and began to examine the bloody corpses.Not long after, he confirmed that everyone in the laboratory was dead.

"They are so stupid, using fragmentation grenades in a closed space..." You Ge sighed immediately as soon as he got used to the environment.

"Hmm..." Tie Slag responded casually.

At this moment, You Ge saw Tie Slag looking at a dead body in a daze.That corpse was the man whose palm was crushed by iron slag in the bar last night, and also the worm-like mutant who was hanging out with women here just now.

"What's wrong?" You Ge noticed that Tie Slag's expression was very serious, as if he was struggling in his thoughts.This was the first time she saw Tie Slag's expression, and her heart tightened immediately, what kind of thing was it?Only then can this ruthless human trafficker be so entangled.

"It's okay." Tie Slag came back to his senses and said, "There is one person missing, and I didn't see the woman's body."

You Ge looked around the laboratory, then drew out a pistol and pointed at a cabinet door under the test bench, shouting loudly: "Beauty~ Come out quickly, we won't hurt you."

After a while, there was no movement at the place You Ge was aiming at.Tie Slag grinned. You Ge's reaction just now was beyond his expectation. With his superhuman reaction and hearing, he didn't realize that there was anyone in the cabinet under the test bench, let alone this little rookie.

"Come out!" You Ge yelled sharply, and then kicked on the cabinet door.

"Don't...don't shoot..." A weak voice came from the cabinet.

Tie Slag was taken aback immediately, and turned to look at You Ge, as if he wanted to see something on her face.But apart from that pretty fair face, he didn't see anything.

Ye Xinling tremblingly crawled out of the cabinet, raised her hands and said tremblingly, "I...I'm not a bad person."

Tie Slag narrowed his eyes and winked at You Ge, with a very clear meaning - "Kill!"

Ye Xinling's eyes caught Tie Slag's hint, her feet softened, and she knelt down to the girl with her head down.She knew very well in her heart that the boy in front of her was a real devil, and she would never care about the weight of life.And the girl in front of her was obviously still a little immature.She turned her heart, regardless of the girl's muzzle was still pointed at her, threw herself forward and hugged the girl's feet and begged, "Please, don't kill me, I'm not a bad person, I won't do you any harm , I know a lot of things, I know what they are doing here..."

"Iron Slag, she...she looks like a victim too." You Ge couldn't help the woman's pleading, and was a little shaken.

"Let her go back and inform?" Tie Slag asked.

"No, I won't tell the truth, I won't tell anyone, please, I won't..." Ye Xinling sobbed softly.

"Do you believe her?" Tie Slag stared into You Ge's eyes and asked.

You Ge looked down at the silently crying woman.She thought for a while, and her frown suddenly relaxed.She put away the pistol, smiled and said to Tie Slag, "You do it."

Iron Slag looked at the woman, then turned to look at the corpse of the worm-shaped mutant, sighed, and said, "Look at her." After speaking, Tie Slag picked up the corpse of the worm-shaped mutant and walked towards the laboratory to the Access to the safe.Before closing the door, Tie Slag turned his head and threatened: "You wait outside, whoever comes in later, including you, will die, understand?"

The two women nodded at the same time, Tie Slag's cold and serious expression was really scary.

After closing the metal door, Iron Slag put down the mutant's corpse.This corpse has been riddled with bullets and blasted by fragmentation grenades. Its whole body is bloody and bloody, with a little bit of flesh hanging from its limbs.Iron Slag raised his head, and at the end of the passage was the round steel door of the safe, which had been opened outwards.There were two corpses lying beside the iron gate, one of them was the man named Lin Tianhua whom he had seen in the bar.

Iron Slag pulled out the straight machete and stepped forward to split the heads of the two corpses.He checked again and again, and after confirming that there were no living things in the passage and safe, he returned to the corpse of the mutant.He stretched out his left hand and pressed it. After a while, many bright red blood vessels like roots suddenly protruded from the wrist of his left hand.These tiny blood vessels drilled out of the skin and burrowed into the corpse along the palm of the hand like a living thing.After a few minutes, hundreds of tiny blood vessels covered every part of the body.If someone stood by and watched at this time, they would definitely feel creepy.

Every tiny blood vessel, like a living worm, burrowed into the flesh and blood of the corpse.Tie Slag's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, and his entire lips turned white.The cold sweat dripped down his forehead non-stop, his body was a little shaky, as if he was so weak that he would collapse at any time.

This is another identity of Iron Slag besides the traditional evolutionary - a worm-like mutant with the ability to devour genes.

Iron Slag is a rare compound evolutionary, possessing both the ability to strengthen the body and the ability to turn into mutants.People like him are called B1B2 compound evolutionists.

In general, evolutionists among humans fall into three categories.

The first category, known as -B (body) body evolution, is subdivided into traditional evolution (B1) and insect mutants (B2).Compared with ordinary people, the main changes of this kind of evolutionary are in body strength and body structure.

The second category is called - E (energy) psionic evolvers, they have a special kind of biological energy.This energy can be materialized to form energies like momentum, heat, electricity, etc.The ability of this kind of evolutionary has little effect in battle. Compared with attack methods such as mental shock waves, it is not as real as a single shot.Therefore, when psykers first appeared, they were like a group of vases with special abilities. Apart from participating in scientific experiments and performing magic, they did not have much value.Until more than 100 years later, with the in-depth development of mechanical technology and the unremitting efforts of scientists, a kind of equipment that can exert the talents of psykers was finally developed - psychic power armor.

The psychic power armor is directly driven by psychic energy. Compared with traditional mechanical armor, it is lighter, faster, and more powerful, and has complex and diverse abilities.Therefore, with the application of psychic power armor, psychic users stepped onto the stage of history and became the main force of the army.In the following 100 years, psykers with extraordinary combat power became the masters of this world.

All the Silver Cities all over the earth are dominated by psykers and humans with the bloodlines of psykers.

The third category is called--S (soul) soul evolution, also known as destiny callers, material perceivers, lucky stars, prophets, fortune tellers...

This is the most mysterious evolutionary among human beings, their abilities are almost invisible and intangible.It is said that they possess 'origin power', they are said to be able to sense the connection between all things, and they are said to have the ability to perceive the future.This is one of the most mysterious powers. According to rumors, those who have the 'origin power' can always avoid danger and win the final victory.

And people who have two or even three of these evolutionary abilities at the same time are collectively called compound evolutionists.

Iron Slag is a rare compound evolutionary, possessing both B1 and B2 evolution abilities.

He, like all worm-like mutants, possesses the most basic ability--gene phagocytosis.

This ability allows worm mutants to replicate and learn from other worm mutants.The method of use is to integrate the mutated gene fragments of the other party into one's own chromosomes, thereby obtaining part of the other party's abilities.Of course, this part of the ability must be incomplete, because the human gene chain is extremely complex, in order to avoid fatal conflicts between the new gene fragment and its own gene chain, generally only the mutated piece of genetic information will be copied.At the same time, such gene duplication is extremely dangerous.

Dr. Narcissus accidentally discovered this secret when he was treating the wound of Iron Slag.He told Tie Slag that according to the current academic research, the gene devouring ability of the worm-like variant can only be used two to three times at most, otherwise an overly complex gene chain will lead to the collapse of the body or the dementia of the brain.

Iron Slag didn't meet many worm-like mutants, and he didn't like their abilities, so he never used 'Gene Devour'.He overheard the ability of this mutant in the file cabinet just now.This is the ability to lay insect eggs in the target's body and then control the target.This is a rare ability for iron slag who doesn't trust anyone.
