Chapter 115: Chapter 115 Main Control Room
Translator: 549690339
âOh my!
Itâs broad daylight, and while there is no troublesome monster⊠but arenât these bugs just too numerous?â
On their way to the central control room, bizarre creatures kept emerging from the walls.
The clown at the forefront was like playing a game of whack-a-mole, one swing of his hammer meant another head bludgeoned.
Without even Han Dong lifting a finger, the grey corridor rapidly became a dump of creature corpses.
It wasnât just the âwall-in miceâ they encountered at first.
Occasionally, spirit-like ghosts akin to the âEye of Naxxramasâ would appear: humanoid from the waist up, dragging a spirit tail below.
They would make terrifying screams along the way, charging directly at the squad.
The screams reached straight into the eardrums, leading into the brain, resembling some kind of sonic attack⊠However, Han Dongâs âBird Beak Doctor Outfitâ significantly mitigated these sonic waves. All he needed to do was concentrate, and he wouldnât be affected.
The spirits coming head-on tried to burrow into their bodies and cause internal damage.
However, Han Dong and Chen Li didnât even have time to react.
The clown tugged at his gloves a bit, and when the ethereal spirits charged in front of him, caught them effortlessly. These spirits had no chance of struggling.
Open his mouth, swallow, chew, swallow again, burp-
âDelicious! Tastes like durian candy.â
The clown, having swallowed several terrifying spirits, still looked unsatisfied, continuously licking his fingers as if he hadnât had enough.
Upon seeing this, Han Dong realized something.
âNo wonder⊠the Fate System repeatedly warned us not to conflict with the clown before we gathered enough information about him.
In actuality, even if we gathered enough ultimate information and understood the clownâs abilities⊠if we truly clashed in battle, our four-person teamâs chances of winning wouldnât be high.
However, some advanced information might reveal the clownâs âweaknessesâ.
Just by thinking about wrapping up things here and returning to New Derry Town to confront the clown in battle once again using the clues weâve gathered, it gives me the creeps.â
Han Dong looked at the pile of strange corpses littering the corridor, a helpless look on his face.
At this moment, Chen Li, her hair tied in two ponytails, whispered to Han Dong through their âMaster-Servant Relationshipâ: đłrđđwđbnđveđ.cođŠ
âMr. Han DongâŠdid you try to use the strange creatures in the sewer to take down the clown?â
âI had such a thought at first.
But now itâs not easy to carry outâŠunlike the evil spirits in âBeing Possessedâ, this clown is very smart.
Moreover, the clown has a variety of strange abilities, and so far, he has only revealed a small part of them.
In this intermediary layer, which I am not even clear about myself, if the plan fails, the outcome might be worse than death.â
âThenâŠâ Chen Li didnât know what to do.
âContinue working with the clown, and donât act abnormally. If I can think of a reliable plan, Iâll naturally let you knowâŠâ
âOkay⊠I just donât really like this psycho.â
âTry to adapt.â
Han Dong didnât say much in response.
Han Dong didnât say much in response.
Actually, he didnât think that the clown was âinsaneâ.
A lunatic wouldnât be able to discern game rules as an NPC, let alone change some rules of fate incidents to an extent.
In Han Dongâs eyes, this BOSS âClownâ is definitely a unique existence among all kinds of fate incidents.
Han Dongâs resentment towards the clown had already largely dissipated after taking out almost half of his left sideâŠthanks to their cooperative relationship and the substantial assistance the clown had provided along the way. Han Dongâs attitude towards the clown had somewhat changed.
Since all the little critters appearing in the tunnel were taken care of by the clown,
Han Dong merely followed behind, using the metal syringe to secretly extract the cell essence from the corpses⊠on average, the cell essence of 3 to 5 monster corpses could be gathered.
It felt like being in a low-level instance with a high-level big boss, only needing to loot the corpses.
Even if each corpse only provided a little bit of cell essence, Han Dong was still gaining⊠With the accumulation of quantity, Han Dong would have enough âLoad Valueâ to expand the prison.
[Central Control Room]
Boom! Boom!
The intense noise of machinery echoed from behind the iron gate.
Opening this pressure-driven heavy iron gate wouldnât be simple, humans couldnât achieve it.
âLet me try to see if I can crack this kind of lock.â
The truth is, if Koslin were here, he could certainly decipher the password in a short time⊠Han Dong, a biologist, found it hard to deal with such metal components.
Just as Han Dong was planning to use [The Eye] to glimpse the inner structure of the lock hole.
Bang!
The clown standing in front of the metal door swung the heavy hammer in his hand violently.
The wall trembled.
A crack, just big enough to fit a hand, was knocked into the mighty iron gate.
Such a fissure wasnât enough to destroy this iron gate⊠Smashing it multiple times with a heavy hammer might break it open, but the clown chose a more brutal approach.
He dropped the hammer.
The clown unexpectedly started warming up in front of the damaged iron gate.
âStretching! 1, 2, 3, 4⊠2, 2, 3, 4!â
Warmed up.
The clown put his palm into the crack of the iron gate and, with sheer brute force, pulled the gate horizontally left and right.
Crack- Crack- Crack! (Sound of metal compressing)
The multiple-layer reinforced iron gate was actually torn open wide enough for one person to pass.
âThisâŠ.â Han Dong was stunned, âHow are we supposed to deal with this!?â All kinds of peculiar powers were one thing.
But how was he supposed to deal with this kind of brute force⊠Cass, the strongest in his team, even if he were strengthened, couldnât possibly achieve such an exaggerated level of strength, could he?
Manually tearing open three layers of iron gate.
If a person got caught by the clown, it was no different than tearing paper.
âLetâs go!â
Han Dong hesitated for a moment, then immediately followed into the [Main Operation Space].
Upon seeing the scene inside, Han Dongâs face turned a bit ugly.
The giant piston-like metal device was operating on both sides.
What was fueling the operation of the device was neither usual electric power, nor steam propulsion.
But instead, twelve glass containers set up within the [Main Operation Space].
Inside the fluid-filled containers was a âhumanâ wearing a breathing mask!
All over their bodies were connected to various small conduits, converging at the bottom of the container, and being linked to the device on both sides of the room through energy converters.
At the same time, some conduits were connected to hidden areas.
âHuman power generation device? Something doesnât seem right..
Just as the âWeirdos Squadâ stepped foot here.
The âhumansâ in all the glass containers suddenly opened their eyes, staring at the three of them with bloodshot eyes.
A sense of danger swept over Han Dongâs entire body.
These âhumansâ were mutating rapidly.
Gray veins began to protrude on the surface of their skin, different signs slowly emerged⊠The danger index kept rising.
Han Dong hurriedly used [The Eye] to scan these guys and found a problem.
âI misunderstood!
The huge piston devices on both sides of the room are powerful generators! Through the energy converters, energy is constantly input into these âpeopleâsâ bodies.
At the same time, the conduits connected to their vital parts (brain, heart, core muscle tissue) seem to be infusing them with special mutation substances.
Is this a âbio-modification laboratoryâ?â
