MTL - The Villainess Is Always Pretending to Be the Virgin Mary-Chapter 48
After exchanging the healing medicine and bandages from the mall and handing them over to Gu Chi, Chi Ying took a few steps back and sat in the corner opposite him, trying to look calm.
Gu Chi took the medicine himself, looked at her and reminded, "You have to be careful..."
"exist!"
Gu Chi: "..."
Realizing that her reaction was a little big, Chi Ying swallowed her saliva, "Small, what are you careful about?"
"They may take you to that place—the laboratory for extracting supernatural energy. It should not be later than today at the latest."
"But why? Does the extraction of different energy have anything to do with mutating into a leader?"
"Well, there's a high probability, otherwise they wouldn't use those instruments at the risk of being discovered. Those machines are very loud." When Gu Chi raised his head, he touched the wound on his neck, and he raised his hand to touch it lightly.
Chi Ying still had no idea about the machine he was talking about that could extract abilities.
"I should be able to break free of them. If it's to destroy the device."
Gu Chi shook his head.
"It's difficult, they are very cautious. I observed it last night. Its shell material is very unusual. Even if it explodes in a large area, it is estimated that it will hardly be damaged."
"Unless it's broken from the inside, it's pretty much impossible."
"Is that so..." Chi Ying felt a little regretful.
"However... how to destroy it from the inside?"
"Operation error, or the internal system is damaged due to some failure."
Chi Ying nodded.
"Then who made these people, do you have any idea?"
Gu Chi was silent for a moment, and then said after a long time: "There was an old professor named Ren Li in the Institute of Human Abilities at the headquarters. If Professor Yu is the most authoritative in the Institute of Zombies...then, this Professor Ren is the one with human abilities. An old man with his status in the institute."
"It used to be," he added.
"Not now?"
Gu Chi narrowed his eyes.
"Half a year ago, that Professor Ren left the Human Alliance angrily because a certain research proposal was rejected by the headquarters. I also know something about that matter."
"He proposed that if the ability level of the supernatural person is to be greatly improved, it is necessary to use the supernatural person as an experimental sample for research..."
"Experimental samples, mean?"
"Using human experiments, and using the superhumans who entered the information at the headquarters."
Chi Ying was stunned.
"Although the final proposal was rejected, he still did not give up his idea, and secretly sent people to capture many supernatural beings outside the alliance. Later, he submitted the results of his experiments to the headquarters, and the contents inside were extremely shocking."
Gu Chi took a breath, and said in a deep voice: "In the theory he put forward, it is mentioned that by extracting the supernatural powers of the supernatural beings as nourishment, supplying supernatural beings with higher supernatural talents can quickly improve the supernatural powers of the people being supplied. ability level."
"As I mentioned before, the abandoned instrument that appeared here in the former headquarters was also developed by Ren Li before. Because of this, when I saw the machine yesterday, I thought of him."
Chi Ying smacked these words several times, feeling a little strange.
"However, won't there be a loss of power? Besides, the loss of so many power users just to get a higher-level power user is not worth the candle?"
"It stands to reason so. But in fact, a sixth-level or higher ability user is far more useful than dozens or even hundreds of fifth-level ability users."
"The higher the level of the ability, the less accurate the use of the ability can be. That's why the headquarters attaches so much importance to me and Ye Wuhan, who were promoted to the sixth-level ability."
"I see…"
"You should have seen Ye Wuhan, the nine-level ability, which is currently the highest level setting in the alliance."
Chi Ying nodded.
"But he's not as strong as me. If he hits head-on, he has no chance of winning."
Gu Chi chuckled, and said, "Where is your upper limit, I never seem to have a clear understanding."
Chi Ying didn't speak.
Her upper limit... I don't know if that machine can be damaged from the inside.
"By the way, Lu Yunfei should have already called the headquarters by now."
Gu Chi shook his head, "If the people who control this place are really Ren Li, then no matter how many people come here, it won't help."
"After all, hundreds of leaders are equivalent to hundreds of sixth-level abilities."
"Also, they can stay here without mutual exclusion, it must be something that Professor Ren did."
Chi Ying guessed: "Like the shield on the top of 'Song Shi'?"
"Well. Since our detectors can't detect their whereabouts, then the leaders should not be able to perceive each other's threats. I'm afraid that's why they can live in peace."
Gu Chi sighed.
"That's all the information I have at the moment."
"If the situation is not right, find a way to get out of here. People from the headquarters should be able to arrive within two days."
"Then what do you do?"
Gu Chi didn't answer, he just said: "Only you have the strength to deal with those hundreds of leaders. Chi Ying, the people in the headquarters need you to take the lead."
"Chi Ying, you can leave."
night of the second day.
Someone suddenly entered the prison room that had been quiet all day.
Chi Ying looked up and saw that it was the man named Sun Shi.
"Yo." Sun Shi was a little surprised when he saw Gu Chi who was safe and sound, "As expected, the professor valued it. It's been two full days, and you haven't shown any signs of mutation yet."
Gu Chi raised his eyelids and glanced at him lightly.
"Forget it, bring these two people to the laboratory." Sun Shi said to the people behind him.
…
With her hands clasped, Chi Ying followed Gu Chi, and was brought to the so-called laboratory just like that.
She raised her head and glanced at the entire laboratory, feeling a twinge in her heart.
"Chi Ying, you can leave." Gu Chi's words in the prison room seemed to still echo in his ears.
Originally, she thought that it might be the best way to go out from here temporarily and pass more information to the Human Alliance.
But when she really saw the rows of people lying on the experimental bed with their hands and feet bound, and the human beings who were locked in tanks full of chemical liquid and had completely lost any signs of life, she suddenly lost the idea of leaving.
At this time, a hoarse and vicissitudes voice suddenly came from the central position in front of the laboratory.
"Commander Gu, long time no see." The white-haired old man sitting in a wheelchair was pushed out from the shadows, and he clasped his hands in front of him with an arrogant posture.
Gu Chi raised his eyes and said coldly, "It really is you, Professor Ren Li."
"Hehe, in fact, I wanted you to take Ye Wuhan's original position at first." Ren Li smiled and narrowed his eyes.
"But I think, with your pedantic temperament, you should not agree."
"But I remember that when the alliance rejected my proposal, you still had a vote. Based on this alone, I can't feel at ease to let you be my helper."
"I'm very glad that I rejected your proposal at the beginning, and I regret that I didn't propose to the alliance to judge you when you experimented with superhumans."
Ren Li waved his hands, and the people around him pushed him closer to Gu Chi.
"Of course you can regret it. But don't worry, you will soon be my proudest child."
Gu Chi raised his eyes abruptly.
"What did you do with the superhuman?"
Ren Li nodded his knees, and said unhurriedly: "This is the most proud result of my research for many years. Like zombies, people with supernatural powers have containers for storing supernatural powers in their bodies, which are almost invisible in the human brain. .The reason why leaders are called leaders is because their crystal nuclei, that is, 'containers', are different from low-level zombies."
"I accidentally discovered that the core of the leader's crystal nucleus is similar to the container where the supernatural being stores the supernatural power..."
"I have been experimenting for a whole year before I finally found out how to make the leader."
Gu Chi pursed his lips.
"The abilities of the supernatural beings have a natural rejection of the zombie virus, which is why some supernatural beings have not mutated after being infected with the zombie virus. Therefore, to make them leaders, the 'container' must first be emptied The supernatural energy in it, and then inject the zombie virus." Ren Li said excitedly.
"What good does it do you to create a bunch of monsters?"
Ren Li sneered when he heard this.
"The day when Yu Song put forward the theory of zombie evolution happened to be the day when I was expelled from the alliance. And the results of my painstaking research were discarded by you. Why is Yu Song able to stand in a high position and be admired by others? , but I can only hide here and be condemned by the world!"
"Your supernatural talent is the best among so many supernatural beings I have ever seen. The 'container' in your head must also be the most perfect." Ren Li calmed down, and suddenly nodded with satisfaction, "You will He is my perfect child."
perfect…
It was only then that Chi Ying realized it. Could it be that in the original book, the reason why Gu Chi finally became a perfect zombie is here?
Ren Li continued: "With you here, it will definitely be easier to sneak into the alliance headquarters than Zhang Bin, who is full of loopholes."
Gu Chi suppressed his voice, "Zhang Bin, is it also your handwriting?"
Ren Li seemed to have heard some joke, and said happily: "How many leaders do you think are naturally evolved in this world?"
"Not only Zhang Bin, but most of the leaders you have met are my children. I thought they could completely attack every safe zone of human beings... It's a pity that you reacted much faster than I imagined. Two months The detector was made in the time it took."
His tone suddenly sank.
"If it weren't for these mistakes, do you think the Human Alliance can survive until now? The two most proud senior commanders of the headquarters, one you and one Ye Wuhan, all fell into my hands. I want to see , They don't have a proud general, what else can they come up with!"
"What do you want to do?"
"I don't have a few years left, but if I make good use of these few years, it is not difficult to destroy the entire human civilization."
A grim smile suddenly appeared on his wrinkled face.
