An unexpected character had appeared so openly in front of the warning line. Moreover, the alarm had only sounded after the other party had spoken. This was undoubtedly a humiliating failure for Captain Chou and the other security personnel.
But Captain Chou didn't have the leisure to taste humiliation. He immediately made adjustments. Through the Dynamo Core implanted in his body, he commanded the security personnel at the front of the warning line to adjust their formation. He formed a link with the other four Deep Blue Walkers in the formation to construct a 'Formatted Space' together.
It was also at this moment that Captain Chou's body, which was originally like an ordinary person's, began to bulge. The fine bone fiber structure "flipped" out of his muscles and soon formed a dense layer, forming a complicated and regular arrangement. There was also a dark blue reflection on the edge, as if it was a fish scale armor made of steel.
In reality, the inner layer of this' armor 'did indeed have a large amount of traces of special strengthening. It was absolutely not the result of a simple mutation.
Clearly, while Captain Chou was undergoing treatment in isolation, whether it was out of his own will or not, he had indeed received a considerable degree of research and modification, so much so that he could perform some kind of "active mutation" and achieve a deep integration with the Deep Blue Platform.
"Captain Chou, can you assist our foundation in doing some research later?"
"......"
Captain Chou's expression was mostly hidden under the 'scale armor'. Moreover, he was facing straight ahead. No changes could be seen.
On the other side, Lieutenant Colonel Chen couldn't help but turn his head. He just happened to see Luo Nan, who had been supporting Wu Zunliang as a polite junior. Luo Nan withdrew his hand and went straight ahead.
There was even a bit of a smile on his face as he passed by Captain Chou. He gave the former a slight nod.
Perhaps it was an illusion … … But in any case, from Lieutenant Colonel Chen's point of view, Luo Nan wasn't the least bit surprised by this unexpected situation.
Moreover, Captain Chou and Lieutenant Colonel Chen didn't have the right to stop him if he wanted to go forward. Only Wu Zunliang sensed that the atmosphere wasn't right. He raised his voice and shouted:
"Luo Nan!"
It was also at this moment that the two names that came out of his mouth looked at each other across the warning line.
Compared to Luo Yuan's preemptive show of strength, Luo Nan's observation was more meticulous … … Or perhaps it could be said that he was a bit more brazen. He sized up the person in front of him from head to toe, especially the person's obviously old clothes.
Several seconds later, Luo Nan spoke with an admiring tone: "It's really amazing to be able to find clothes to cover your body in this environment."
Luo Yuan's gaze never left Luo Nan. When he heard Luo Nan's words, his overly thin cheeks twitched slightly. But in the end, he still responded indifferently.
"After all, I've stayed here for a long time. It's normal for me to keep some clothes."
The people around them were confused, but the two didn't seem to have any intention of explaining.
Luo Nan turned his head around and nodded at the stupefied Dr. Wang: "It looks like a more suitable explanation has come uninvited."
"Ah, this …" Dr. Wang did not know whether to respond or not.
The muscles on Luo Yuan's cheeks twitched again, and he smiled coldly. "I don't want to say it again."
"Personal emotions can't be taken seriously."
"That's the truth."
"Are you flaunting your preposterous bigotry in front of me?"
Luo Nan continued to walk forward, easily crossing the line of exoskeleton armor. The distance between him and Luo Yuan grew closer and closer. "Today you seem to be very happy to display the image of a frustrated and infatuated person in front of me. This isn't even as refreshing as last year's Dimensional Crossbow … … Is it because I'm not so easy to kill now, so you might as well change your method. Are you preparing to disgust me to death?"
Luo Yuan's smile seemed to deepen a bit. "You should be enduring the disgust and doing some unqualified but necessary things."
"Is this the rumored sociopath? Well, I'm not surprised. "
Luo Nan had already arrived at the edge of the caved in area. The distance between him and Luo Yuan was no more than three meters. From his angle, he could already see the bumpy edges of the caved in cavern wall, as well as the chaos at the bottom.
Yes, there was also the remains of the lizard Mutant that had just been possessed and transformed by Luo Yuan. Right now, only a few broken scales remained.
This was also a cloned body produced by Luo Yuan's laboratory.
It had to be said that Luo Yuan's technological route was compatible with Luo Yuan's ability. Luo Nan had prepared ahead of time, and the results were almost the same as Luo Nan's Spatial Shift.
Only the heavens knew how many similar chess pieces Luo Yuan had planted over the years. What level had the production capacity of his laboratory reached?
If Luo Nan wanted to get rid of Luo Yuan cleanly and efficiently, he would need to find the 'unchanging' behind the myriad of transformations.
All of this happened in a flash of thought. Luo Nan and Luo Yuan looked face to face again, and their eyes carried a bit of killing intent.
As for Luo Yuan, the thoughts of his kind had not changed at all. It was just that in this place, in this environment, and in this atmosphere, everyone was more restrained. That was all.
Luo Nan was now a bit sociopath. The evidence was that he had begun to seriously consider having a chat with Luo Yuan. At the very least, he wanted to collect some first-hand information for future preparations.
"Mr. Luo Yuan, although I don't really understand this society, I know that when it comes to socializing, you need to be honest on the surface at the very least. You see, regarding the matters of the past, especially the matters related to my mother … … "
"So the people of the Luo Family are really people who are willing to be scolded?"
Luo Nan's gaze continued to grow cold, and so did Luo Yuan.
And at this time, Tang Yi suddenly spoke from behind the cordon. Her target was Lieutenant Colonel Chen, who was in a highly tense state. "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, you're from Spring City, right? Were you still in school in the eighties? "
"Ah, ah, I went to military school."
Lieutenant Colonel Chen was a qualified sociopath. He quickly reacted after receiving Tang Yi's' signal '. He successfully organized his words. "I was already in military school in the eighties. It was no different from entering the army."
"So, you have an understanding of the wilderness back then?"
"Yes. I didn't just attend classes. I also had patrol missions." Lieutenant Colonel Chen slowly got on the right track. He began to take the initiative to speak. "It was much more chaotic than it is now. Not only were the Mutants wreaking havoc, but there were also roaming bandit squads composed of vagrants. For a convoy like ours, we basically killed our way through a hundred kilometers … … "
Tang Yi entered the role of a supporting character. "It's understandable. I just calculated. The distance between the Hundred Races Laboratory and the nearest supply base is approximately two hundred kilometers? "
"It's more than that. The one we passed through was newly built in the year 93. The original base was a hundred and eighty kilometers further back. It was very easy for Mutants or vagrant bandits to cut off the road with such a distance back then …. Ah! "
Lieutenant Colonel Chen thought of Luo Nan's previous question and was the first to come to a sudden realization. "Also, the eighties were affected by several Type A Mutants. The first half of the year was the 'Bleeding Season' around Spring City. It was even more dangerous. Generally speaking, regular and necessary trips into the wilderness would have to wait until the second half of the year. This situation was only alleviated after the all-out counterattack in recent years and the elimination of the key sources of danger. "
The so-called 'Bleeding Season' was similar to the 'Rushing Tide' in coastal cities. They were both names for large-scale riots by the Mutants in the wilderness.
This explained why Bo Qingwen was clearly pregnant at the time. Why was she still in the wilderness? Of course, looking at it from another angle, the pregnancy was inappropriate. Luo Zhongheng could also be blamed for it.
Luo Nan turned his head to look. His gaze passed through the array of exoskeleton armors and saw Tang Yi, the tallest of them all. Regardless of whether or not Tang Yi could see him, Luo Nan still smiled subconsciously.
It was unknown what encouraged Dr. Wang at this time. He spoke in a weak voice, "Speaking of the 'Bleeding Season', I-I seem to remember a bit."
Tang Yi continued to cooperate with him. "Is it related to the 'Bleeding Season'?"
"It's the surrounding tribes …." Dr. Wang did his best to recall. "Back then, the laboratory was able to stand over there. A good portion of it was because we got along well with the vagrant tribes next to us. Sometimes bandits would surround us, and everyone would help each other out.
"But the 'bleeding season' that year was especially long. The tribes that had a good relationship with us were all hurt. Some of them were even forced to migrate to the northwest to avoid the agitated volcanic areas … Especially when the weather turned hot, which was in June, the laboratory received a lot of injured people. They were all from tribes that we were familiar with. Then, something happened a few days later."
Luo Nan's extraordinary perception wasn't affected by the distance of a dozen meters. He could hear Dr. Wang's voice no matter how weak it was. As the information entered his mind, many fuzzy details gradually became clear. Suddenly, he thought of something and raised his voice to ask:
"Dr. Wang, when the accident happened back then, this is the person next to me. Is he there?"
Luo Yuan's gaze pierced over, but Luo Nan completely ignored him.
The person on the warning line stammered a few times before finally responding vaguely: "He shouldn't be there … …"
Only then did Luo Nan return Luo Yuan's gaze: "Then why are you acting like he was there!"
Luo Yuan was silent for two seconds. Then he suddenly laughed: "Yeah. I wasn't there. That damned old man of yours wasn't there. Luo Yuandao wasn't there either. All of us weren't there! So, Qingwen was all by herself. She was all alone there … … "
His voice was still calm, but his arm suddenly swung out. He pointed at the collapsed cave entrance, at an area that ordinary people couldn't see.
"There, she made her life's choice. The last time! The stupidest time! She was even stupider than her choice of Luo Zhongheng … … She only chose a lump of flesh! Before she closes her eyes, that thing has no meaning! "
The sound wave quickly dissipated above the ruins. Some of it crashed into the collapsed cave entrance, causing a weak echo.
Luo Nan didn't retort.
He stood at the edge of the cave entrance. He could vaguely feel the almost non-existent slight vibration beneath his feet. Soul strength, which was more remarkable, covered an even larger area. It captured even more details. It far surpassed the domain that the basic five senses of a human could reach.
But Luo Nan still felt that there was a layer of separation here.
Since he came from flesh and blood, then he returned with flesh and blood was the correct principle.
Luo Nan gazed at the fuzzy and chaotic cave bottom. A second passed before he spoke softly:
"Take me there to take a look. I'll have to trouble you … … Please."
