A fight where flesh and blood flew everywhere was shown on dozens of surveillance screens at the same time.
The pathfinders who took the Deification Capsules could bring out fighting strength that far surpassed that of a normal person. Their speed and strength reached the standards of superhumans. Even if their bodies were covered in bloody wounds caused by monsters, they did not sense any pain. Instead, they became even crazier.
Meng Chao even saw a pathfinder punching a Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's eye socket in one of the surveillance cameras. The clear mark of the fist started burning, and in an instant, the Demonic Bloody Moon Wolf's brain was burnt to a crisp.
'This is … supernatural power?'
Meng Chao rewound the video and watched it again to confirm that it was indeed a spirit energy magnetic field that caused spirit energy resonance, which was why it could cause damage.
Did this mean that the Deification Capsules had the power to turn normal people into superhumans?
With the help from the Deification Capsules, the pathfinders soon chased all the monsters out of the developing land.
The more they fought, the braver they became, and the crazier they became. They looked like they had an unstoppable momentum.
However, as the effects of the medicine circulated through their bodies and squeezed out the potential in the deepest parts of their cells, their rational defenses as humans seemed to be gradually falling apart and crumbling.
In the beginning, even the pathfinders with deformed appearances could communicate normally with humans and use all sorts of weapons with great familiarity.
But soon, they seemed to be dissatisfied with using bullets to blast the monsters' eyeballs. They tossed aside their guns and pounced on the monsters to tear them apart.
They tore open the monsters' necks and drank their blood. They used the sweet blood to activate their ancient instincts, and gradually, they lost their ability to speak. There was no longer a hint of rationality in their eyes, and they became the same as the monsters they were fighting.
Perhaps some of them noticed that the situation was bad.
But while they were surrounded by monsters, they did not have the time to stop and judge their own mental state.
They could only pounce on the monsters again and again, or be pounced on by the monsters, or bite the monsters, or be bitten by the monsters, or eat the monsters, or be eaten by the monsters!
They went mad. Gradually, most of the people went mad.
Someone laughed madly like a lunatic. Someone else had clearly exploded the monster's head, but he still delivered heavy punches like a machine, crushing the monster's head into pulp. Once someone tore the monster in half, he dug out its steaming heart, chewed it, and swallowed it. Then, he licked his blood-stained lips with a satisfied expression.
The girl who brought out the Deification Capsule in the first place had finally picked up the capsule that belonged to her from the corner.
Before he took it, he saw the shocking changes happening inside and outside the settlement.
The crazy behavior of the pioneers seemed to have scared her to death. She hesitated whether she should swallow the capsule or not.
At that moment, the two-star Spirit Transformation Realm superhuman who took three Deification Capsules in one go let out an inhuman howl and jumped out of the developing land to start a new round of slaughter.
This was no longer a battle, but a one-sided massacre.
Under his leadership, the other pioneers were also indulged in the pleasure of killing like demons, unable to extricate themselves.
Just as they were about to slaughter all the monsters, another shocking turn of events occurred.
Many of the pioneers were slaughtering when they suddenly grunted and fell to the ground like puppets whose strings had been cut.
They started foaming at the mouth, and their limbs twitched violently. Their skin turned as red as a steamed lobster, and wisps of white smoke gushed out of their pores. Some people's eye sockets and nostrils even spat out wisps of fire.
In just a short half a minute, quite a number of people's bodily fluids evaporated, and they turned into terrifying dried corpses.
There were also people who looked unharmed, but their organs and brains were all burnt to a crisp. Only an empty shell was left.
There were also people who covered their hearts and died with blood flowing out of their orifices.
The only girl who survived saw this on the monitor screen, and her eyes went wide. She screamed and threw the Deification Capsule in her hand far away, as if she was throwing away a venomous snake's eyeball.
The monitor screen ended there.
It was enough for Meng Chao, Manager Jiang, and the other superhumans to understand the situation.
"The Deification Capsule looks like a really powerful forbidden drug!"
Meng Chao gently unscrewed the metal tube he found in the girl's bosom.
He opened the lid, and with a hiss, a few wisps of cold white fog spread out. Meng Chao brought out a metal rack from the white fog. There were nine green capsules hanging on it.
He picked up one of the capsules and applied some force with his fingertips to test its material.
Then, he placed it under his nose and sniffed it. He did not smell anything special.
When he looked closely, he found that the inside of the capsule was filled with a sticky, oily liquid. There were also sparkles in it, and it shone with a bewitching light.
Meng Chao had never seen such a forbidden drug before.
Speaking of which, the problem of forbidden drugs was the same as the problem of unlicensed pathfinding. They both wandered in the gray area of law and morality.
Theoretically speaking, all the gene medicine in Dragon City had to be approved by the drug regulatory department under the Supernatural Tower before it could be put on the market.
Even the units that developed the gene medicine had to have the corresponding qualifications.
If they did not have a license, they would be illegal workshops that could not see the light of day.
But spirit energy, superhumans, and supernatural powers were all new things. Even Battle God Lei Zongchao could not answer the question of how to maximize the cultivation potential of the human body.
When they faced the threat of zombies, monsters, lost people, the undead, and even the even more terrifying Other World deities, even if some gene medicine had really strong side effects and sequelae, as long as it could stimulate their potential and increase their strength, countless people were willing to be lab rats.
"It's only stimulant when it's dead, and it's high technology if it's not dead." This was the attitude most people in Dragon City had toward gene medicine.
When Meng Chao and Gu Jianbo explored the Ultimate Style, they had created all sorts of gene medicine, and 90% of them had really strong side effects and sequelae. Only monsters like Meng Chao, who could use contribution points to exchange for healing skills, could get through the series of inhuman experiments.
If they followed the rules and brought all the gene medicine to the Supernatural Tower to be approved and could not use it once they discovered the side effects, the Ultimate Style would not have been born even after ten years.
All medicine was slightly poisonous, and Dragon Citizens had long since come to this realization.
At the end of the day, Dragon Citizens' view of life and death was different from the Earthlings decades ago during the peaceful era.
To pursue power that surpassed the limits, it was not unacceptable for them to take a little risk of death.
Hence, as long as the development and use of gene medicine that had not been approved did not cause any serious consequences, it would be considered as something that could not be investigated by the government.
Apart from the college entrance examination, which was a fair environment.
Usually, no one would be so bored as to report gene medicine that had not been approved.
It was the opposite. Everyone longed for themselves or their companions to get more useful gene medicine. When it came to life and death, at the very least, they could take a gamble.
This was especially so for the normal pathfinders who were bold enough to run into the wild to try their luck. They usually brought some of the three no gene medicine that they had bought from the black market or the deep web. They did not have a brand, a manufacturer, or instructions.
Many of the three no products might have a lot of problems, but they had outstanding effects when it came to bringing out one's potential and launching counterattacks.
In fact, there were quite a number of illegal workshops that created these three no products. After they were reported and attacked, the related technology was absorbed by the mega corporations. After repeated experiments, the side effects and sequelae were largely reduced, and they turned into legal gene medicine.
Hence, Meng Chao would not have been interested in poking his nose into any of the gene medicine that had yet to be approved in the market.
But the Deification Capsule was just too strange.
First, it could stimulate a person's potential to a terrifying degree. In just a short few minutes, it could allow a normal person to have the power of a superhuman and allow one-star and two-star superhumans to have the possibility to reach the peak of Earth Realm.
Once this technology was popularized on a large scale, there was a high possibility that it would change the cultivation system that had been in operation for decades. It might even change the appearance of Dragon City's civilization.
Second, while it stimulated a person's potential, it also seemed to destroy their rationality and lead them into the abyss of madness.
Third, and most importantly, the price for using the Deification Capsule to obtain supernatural abilities was just too great. Dozens of people who took it died on the spot, and the survivors were drained of their flesh and blood, and their vitality was greatly damaged.
In other words, the Deification Capsule seemed to have instantly released the potential of a person's life and turned them into brilliant fireworks. They were released to their heart's content in just a few seconds. Then, they were reduced to ashes.
Meng Chao did not want to judge whether it was reasonable for the pathfinders to take the Deification Capsule.
After all, if they did not take the Deification Capsule, the pathfinders would have all died, and even their developing land would have been flattened by the monsters.
Now, even though the process was bloody and the results were devastating, there were still five survivors. They also killed monsters that outnumbered them by several times and protected a human developing land in the depths of the wild.
But this terrifying forbidden drug could be used to protect civilization and their homes, but it could also be used to destroy and destroy. Based on the changes that happened to the pathfinders after they took the drug, the possibility of the latter was higher.
They had to find the source of the Deification Capsule.
They had to see just what sort of person could create this incredibly dangerous gene medicine.
Meng Chao, Manager Jiang, and the others gathered up the pathfinders' corpses, cleaned up the developing land, and repaired a few automatic machine gun towers and communication systems. Then, they brought the survivors and the corpses back to the forward operating base.
On the way, Meng Chao discussed this matter with Manager Jiang and the others. He noticed that before today, no one had seen or heard of the Deification Capsule.
There was a small biochemical lab in the forward operating base of Soaring Dragon Constructions. It was complete.
Before the reinforcements arrived, they sent a Deification Capsule and the specimens they collected from the corpses to the lab for examination.
The examination results shocked Meng Chao.
The analysis of the report showed that the Deification Capsule contained components that seemed to be Blood Flower spores.
