Doomsday Totem

Chapter 519 Transformation

Afterwards, the two fell into a long silence, just buried their heads in drinking, and fell asleep on the sofa until they were a little drunk.When the two woke up again, it was already more than ten hours later.Tie Zha went back to the bedroom to take a shower, changed his clothes, put on big sunglasses, and went to the city wall to inspect the post-war work.

On the Gobi Desert not far away, several large pits were dug and a raging fire was burning.The scorched smell came with the wind, and the corpses were faintly visible all over the ground, which was a completely sad scene.

It is now 37161220 o'clock in the morning of Dr3 in Yincheng time, and 21 o'clock in the morning of Saite time. The sky is still dark and the temperature is very low, close to minus thirty degrees.He put on a fur coat and stared at the fire in a daze.

"Are you up?" Suddenly, Zhao Wenke's voice came from behind.

"En." Tie Slag didn't turn his head, but just responded.

"We strive to finish cleaning up the corpses before dawn." Zhao Wenke stepped forward and stood side by side with Tie Slag.After the bug swarm receded, he didn't go back to rest immediately, but injected himself with stimulants to stay awake, and then arranged for logistics personnel who were not involved in the battle to handle the scene.Because there are too many corpses, if it is delayed until daytime, when the temperature rises, the stench will be unbearable.

In addition to the original support staff, he also called on the miners who had taken refuge here, and transported the corpses outside the fortress with a cart.The human corpses were arranged in several rows, and the bug corpses were pried off the loot, thrown into the dug pit, doused with fuel oil, and burned on the spot.When Iron Slag walked up the city wall, he hadn't closed his eyes for more than 30 hours.

"Aren't you going to rest for a while?" Tie Slag asked.

"It's okay, I have received professional training, it doesn't matter if I don't sleep for a week." Zhao Wenke said.

"Yeah." Tie Slag nodded bluntly, he is not a mother-in-law, it is very rare to be able to care about others.

"By the way..." After a moment of silence, Zhao Wenke suddenly said, "In the future, recruit more ordinary fighters, and don't use all insects."

"Why?" Tie Slag was a little puzzled.Compared with ordinary humans, although the insectoids are somewhat difficult to manage, their strength is much higher. If they wear mechanical power armor, their combat power will rise in a straight line, not inferior to low-level psionic warriors.

"These worms have been injected with Jack for a long time, and their brain tissue has been severely damaged. After death, they cannot be resurrected with mechanical transformation technology." Zhao Wenke said.

Merchants and mercenaries in the world of Silver City, ranging from large group companies and cross-plane legions to small individual traders and rogue gangs, all like to use cyborgs.This is true for the Lin Family and Blackstone Mercenary Group in Shacheng, the Chamber of Commerce in Luoyan Town, and the Chamber of Commerce in Iceland, as well as the Old Blind Eye, Red Scorpion Legion, and Green Bee Mobile Corps in Sandcastle.

Why do they prefer to transform people?In fact, the reason is very simple, because after the production of mechanical power armor is banned, the only one they can hire with money, the most high-end combat power is the mechanical transformation man.

Under normal circumstances, excellent psykers will choose to join the Temple or Notre Dame, or become a vassal noble of a certain great noble or territorial noble.If they are not selected, no matter how bad it is, they will go to the World Parliament to gain a title of nobility and receive a "living allowance".They don't give up perks and titles unless someone can give them enough money.But this is "enough", at least five times the allowance standard of the World Congress, because money cannot be exchanged for social status and glory.

However, spending five times the price is obviously not worth the loss, so it is better to hire a few more reformers.Although they are far inferior to psykers wearing power armor, they are many times stronger than ordinary human soldiers and most low-level worms.Not only do they have a body made of steel, but they can also replace parts. As long as they are not hit, they will be completely intact within a few days.

Another point, maintenance is cheaper than medical treatment.Regardless of money or time, the cost of training a doctor is several times that of a mechanic.

However, not everyone is suitable for transformation. Physical function is one aspect, but the required bonds are another aspect.

There is a saying in the industry: "A reinvented person without family and obsession is like a wild horse that has run wild and has no use value."

When a person dies, the brain and spine are taken out and made into a remodeled person, he loses the desire to be a human being.

No desire, no appetite, no taste to live, the only pleasure he can enjoy is to add Jack to the nutrient solution, but this will damage the brain tissue and become dull.So, unless they have a family, or some other obsessions that can support them to live a boring life and work hard for the organization.

Those who have families usually have to earn money to support their families and take care of their wives and children.Those who have obsessions, such as revenge, such as vanity, and such as simply not wanting to die.All in all, it is the meaning of their life to make money.

This was also the reason why Lina and Mu Yuqin would rather have him die than turn him into a reformer when Tie Slag was injured.

It's better to die than to live like this.

Then, Zhao Wenke analyzed that mechanical power armor is always a contraband, and its use in large quantities can easily arouse suspicion.

"How about the price?" Tie Slag asked.Although he had killed many reformers, he was completely ignorant of this industry.

"Looking at the specific model, the most advanced is the biochemical transformation technology of demons. The body of the half-mechanical half-demon organization is said to be able to reach the gold level or even the diamond level, but the cost is extremely high, and it needs the body tissue of the abyssal great demon. There is no price." Zhao Wenke tightened his clothes, and introduced, "As for the normal-level reincarnation, the combat power is about between the middle-level black iron and the first-level silver, depending on the combat skills and nerves of the reincarnation itself. Reaction speed, actually..." He paused, and then said, "The one-time cost is relatively high, the follow-up maintenance cost is very low, and the employment fee is similar to that of ordinary human fighters."

"It sounds pretty good." Tie Slag was soon tempted by Zhao Wenke's words.He has fought against the reformed people many times, although each time he dealt with them easily, but he knew that he was bullying the reformed people and was slow to react, and every time he relied on sneak attacks, taking them by surprise, catching them off guard, and killing them with thunder.

But if the two sides fight in battle, even with his current strength, if he wears the Wilderness Knight, it will be difficult to deal with a dozen of them at the same time.

"After we settle here, let's go to the Transformer Hospital in Fengshabao. I happen to have an old classmate who works as the supervisor of the technical department there." Zhao Wenke hesitated for a while, and then said, "Although I really don't want to do this. Said, but now is indeed a good time to buy a reformer, because after the bug swarm is over, the most indispensable thing in the sandcastle is the corpse."

Under normal circumstances, the manufacturer will provide the resume of the remodeler. You only need to negotiate with the person concerned, sign the contract, pay the remodeling fee, and take it away.But reformers are not slaves, but free civilians, so buying a reformer who has no friendship in the first place will take a certain risk.

If the other party breaches the contract, they can only call a loss.Because in the world of Yincheng, if a reformed person breaks the law, it also needs to be resolved by the court.It is not uncommon for the reformed people who bought them to play tricks.It has to be said that the situation of transforming people is much better than that of insects.

Therefore, in most cases, investment and transformation will only be carried out if you understand your life and have a certain emotional foundation.Moreover, not everyone is willing to be made into a reformed person who is neither human nor ghost, and there are many people who swallow a gun and commit suicide after waking up.But this is not the most troublesome thing. The most troublesome ones are those who hesitate at the beginning, live for a while, feel that it is not interesting, and then give up.

Buyers usually lose everything and have nothing to cry about.The only hope is that when they commit suicide, they don't damage their bodies significantly, so that they can recover some losses.

After that, the two chatted about some trivial matters, and Zhao Wenke didn't continue to work until Lilith came to find Tie Slag.

At this moment, Lilith was wearing a dark green military cloak, her little face was flushed from the cold.The temperature at night in Desert No. 45 is very low, and it can reach minus [-] degrees at the coldest time, so a large amount of warm clothes are stored in the fortress for emergencies.

The style and texture of this military cloak are very ancient, made of pure cotton cloth, thick and heavy.Although it is not as light as the "spacesuit" stuffed with bird feathers, it is more comfortable to touch and cheaper. It was widely used by the military before the ancient nuclear war.

Hagrid was very partial to this kind of cloak, saying that "it can be worn as well as a quilt", so everyone sent one, even Iron Slag was no exception.So, every night, you can see groups of patrolling soldiers dressed like Far Eastern zongzi walking up and down the city wall.

"Boss, the battle damage results are out." Lilith said holding a few printed materials.

"En." Tie Slag nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"The Chifeng Guard lost 290 and three combatants, of whom 210 were killed in action, 75 were seriously injured, and 960 were slightly injured."

"One member of the wild boar group was reduced, three were slightly injured, six were slightly injured in the sand fox group, all members of the nightingale group were uninjured, and all members of the maintenance team were uninjured."

"The logistics brigade lost 97 people, of which 55 were killed, 42 were seriously injured, and 230 were slightly injured."

"A total of more than [-] miners took refuge, and one-fifth of them were killed or injured."

"All kinds of business people..."

Lilith reported one by one, and it took about ten minutes to finish reading the materials.

"Thank you." Tie Slag turned around, looked into Lilith's eyes, and said.

"No...not hard..." Being stared at by him, Lilith felt heart palpitations for no reason, and took half a step back involuntarily.

"What's wrong?" Seeing this, Tie Slag suddenly grinned.That wicked smile made Lilith feel flustered.

"Don't...don't come here, I...I won't sleep with you..." Lilith blurted out subconsciously in a panic.

"When did I ask you to sleep with me?" Tie Slag said with a frown on his face.The tone was extremely serious, and he assumed the posture of a superior.

"Then...then why are you laughing?" Lilith said timidly.

"Can't I laugh?" Tie Slag asked seriously.

Perhaps it was because what he said was so reasonable that Lilith lowered her head and didn't dare to look him in the eye. After a while, she murmured, "Uuuuuuuuu Boss, Lilith wrong……"

Iron Slag snorted coldly immediately, and looked towards the flame not far away.
