When there was a first, there would be a second. When Silin's safe zone was established not far away from Silin's safe zone, more listeners came over to request permission to build a subsidiary safe zone around Silin's safe zone.
One had to admit that Neo's safe zone was located in an excellent location. It had survived several natural and unnatural disasters without a scratch. Of course, everyone understood in their hearts that a lot of people valued Cillin's group's comprehensive abilities. Look at the configuration of their surroundings, look at the bullets they used to kill the white mice's biochemical beasts, look at the equipment they were wearing. Even an idiot would know that there was a highly skilled person overseeing this place.
This place was different from the outside world. Everyone who came here did not have anything in their hands. It could be said that they had returned to a primitive environment after a night's sleep. Only in this kind of environment could Cillin's' wealth 'better be displayed.
Rob?
No one would be able to beat Silin's group, be it openly or secretly.
Apart from a few temporary groups from other places, there were also a few people who hadn't split up yet. They were interested in joining after hearing about the situation here.
The more people there were, the harder it would be for the vicious beasts to set foot on the mountain. Every person who came here to take this test had taken countless lives. They were all ruthless characters. Everyone knew that their chances of survival would be higher if they stuck together in an environment like this. At first, there wasn't anyone who everyone could trust to form the core of the group. However, after Silin's appearance, everyone showed their sincerity and gathered around him.
There was no lack of Black Viper people among them. Every Black Viper people had their own specialties, and they provided a lot of resources that the safe zone urgently needed. As the overall leader, Silin led Hei Dou and the others to build up the defenses around the area.
The establishment of any group required skills and talents. Therefore, Silin gathered these people who had their own specialties and assigned them their own tasks. In three days' time, two more safety zones had been built on the mountain. The construction of these two safety zones was completed by Silin, Hei Dou, and the others. Even if some people were suspicious of Silin's identity and motives, they had to admit that Silin had the ability to better equip the area.
Therefore, the new recruits respected Silin mainly because they viewed Silin as a highly skilled person, just like how the people of the Empire viewed a member of the RAS. Many people were skeptical of the rumor that Silin had killed twelve white rats in one shot. There were some who wanted to spar with Silin, but they were beaten back as soon as they showed up. Didn't they see that Silin was busy setting up the defensive equipment?! If they wanted to spar, that could wait. In a situation like this, the safety zone's construction was their top priority.
Neo was the owner of the safe zone, but Silin had unwittingly become the decision-maker of this area. Black Viper's people knew that it was hard to talk to the psychopath, and no one wanted to argue with him if he could handle things himself. The people who weren't Black Viper knew that it was easier to talk to their own kind. After all, not everyone could accept Black Viper in such a short time. The rumors circulating around the Empire had already taken over many people's minds. If Guan Feng and Gu Changan hadn't told Silin not to treat Black Viper the same way he used to, Silin would've been on high alert against Black Viper just like them.
Hei Dou wiped the sweat off her forehead and directed Tu Ba and the others to place the equipment at the designated locations. She made a "good" gesture when she saw the satisfactory results on the testing device in her hand.
The combatants provided the labor, while Hei Dou and the others provided the technology and brain power.
"It's pretty much done. Three of the four auxiliary safety zones have been completed, and the last one is still under construction." Hei Dou said to Silin.
Silin looked at the completed test data and nodded. "Let's rest for now. If we can't do it today, I'll go check on Neo." Silin then looked at Tu Ba and gestured for him to stay on guard. After receiving an affirmative reply, Silin arrived at Neo's safety zone, the so-called core safety zone of this mountain.
Rinho was busy analyzing the effects of the medicine in the lab, so he didn't notice Silin's arrival at all. Neo was almost completely focused on the task at hand and didn't pay attention to anything else.
Other than Neo, Silin also had permission to enter the lab. Neo had set it up himself because he thought that everyone else in the lab was below the level of a chimpanzee's IQ other than himself and Silin. They weren't worth his time.
Silin stared at the results on the screen and asked, "Is the medicine ready?"
Neo jumped in fright when he saw that it was Silin, but he immediately returned to his work. "It's ready, but it's not very stable. It needs to be improved, or its effects will be limited."
Neo was frowning all the time as he spoke. A lot of people had been eyeing his safety zone as of late, but Neo wasn't in the mood to argue with them. Silin came up with a plan, and that was what Neo had been working on recently.
In the past, Neo wasn't a fan of researching white mice. A person like him who was obsessed with "cleanliness" would look down on research subjects that looked like secondary excrement. However, his recent interactions with Silin had piqued his curiosity. He was already rubbing his palms together when he saw Silin's experiment plan. He even boasted that he could complete it in three days.
But to his surprise, he still hadn't succeeded after three days. Although the medicine was ready, it wasn't as effective as he imagined it to be. Therefore, in Neo's eyes, it was a failure.
As the saying went, the more frustrated one was, the braver one became. Neo was a one-track mind when it came to this kind of work. Unless he succeeded, he would put everything else aside and focus on this one.
"Is the molecular formula the same as the theoretical one?" Silin asked. After he gave Neo the experiment plan, he had been busy arming the safety zone with Hei Dou and the others. He didn't ask about the progress or results of the experiment.
Neo brought up the molecular diagram of the medicine and pointed at three spots. "These three spots aren't stable enough, and the molecule can't be folded to the theoretical effect. I've made a few modifications," Neo moved his fingers and brought up another diagram, "This is the modified one. Two spots have been resolved, and the stability has been verified. However, there's still one spot that isn't working."
Cillin and Neo worked together in the lab for an entire night and finally came up with a stable theoretical molecular diagram the next morning after combining the results of the analysis and the sequence of the active macromolecule with the fourth-order structure diagram. The new molecular diagram was much more stable than the previous ones, and they were very satisfied with its efficacy.
"It's finally done!" Neo started recording the experiment. It was his habit.
Silin used the synthesizer to synthesize a portion of the finished product and said to Neo, "Get some rest after you're done."
Even with Neo's weak physique, he hadn't rested for more than three days. He didn't like to inject hormones or nutrient fluids to maintain his stamina, so he only ate some food irregularly. His complexion didn't look too good, but he couldn't hide the obvious relief and joy he showed after the experiment's success. It made him look a little more energetic.
"Of course I know that. I don't need you to remind me. Oh right, don't let unrelated people come in and disturb me!"
"Got it."
Silin walked out of the safety zone with the synthesized medicine in hand. He glanced around before his gaze fell on a silly cat who was playing with a feather that had fallen off Ovi's body.
"Wheeze, come here!"
When he heard Silin's call, Huimao ran over to Silin while biting the messy feather in his mouth. He jumped onto Silin's shoulder and stuck the disfigured feather into Silin's hair.
"Haha, meow, Silin, you're so dumb!"
Silin flicked the feather off his hair and pulled Huimao's whiskers. "I'm done synthesizing the medicine. Let's go take care of those mice."
Huimao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He was bored to death right now, so it was good to have something to do.
Cillin told Hei Dou that everything here was settled and that he needed to give her orders.
"You're going to look for that sneaky bastard?" Gu Xin asked.
"Yes, I'll be fine alone. I'll give you a signal if there's a need. Just guard this place well. If anyone tries anything, don't hold back."
"Of course I know that. But, won't it be too dangerous for you to go alone, ahem, just you and Wheeze?" Gu Xin quickly corrected himself before Huimao could fly into a rage.
What were the people who lured the twelve white mice here planning these days? Silin definitely wanted to take care of them before they made their move. If people respect me, I will respect them tenfold. If you pour a basin of excrement on me, I will give you a cesspool.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Alright, send a signal if you can't hold on. We have a lot of people here, so it won't be a problem to take care of them."
Silin shook his head. "They have a hypnotist who can control a Direbeast. It won't be easy for us to take care of them."
Although Gu Xin didn't know what Silin was planning, he knew that Silin was a resourceful man. He stopped asking and smiled. "I really want to know what happened to them."
"No problem. If everything goes well, I'll send a signal to you guys and let Hei Dou receive the image. You'll be able to see what happens to them. We can also use this as a warning to those who have ulterior motives. "
Gu Xin shivered. He hadn't known Silin for very long, but his evaluation of Silin was already very high. Even Tu Ba and Erty were very wary of Silin. This young man was always full of surprises.
"Alright, I'll wait here for the good news."
Silin and Huimao's departure didn't attract too much attention. The construction of the safe zone was still going on. Although there were only five days left until the deadline Guan Feng gave them, no one would stop the construction even if it was just one day. Every second spent on the safe zone was a chance for them to survive.
At another place a bit further away from Neo's safe zone, Silin and the others' new detectors wouldn't be able to detect them.
There were three people here, and one of them was the person who tricked Silin and the others back then. The other two had been brainwashed, or more accurately, deeply hypnotized. It was a type of hypnosis that was forbidden by the empire. In other words, a person who was hypnotized by this method would become demented even if the hypnosis was lifted. They would never be able to return to normal. All of their memory cells would be erased, and their old memories would be forcefully replaced with new ones. They would be completely under the control of the hypnotist.
The hypnotist had retained the two people's skills and memories, so they could use their original skills to fight their enemies just like before. Everything else, however, wasn't their own.
Silin asked Hei Dou to investigate this place, and it turned out that there were a lot of Black Viper's men in this area. These two people probably weren't Black Viper's men.
Other than these two people, there were also some alien beasts, white mice, and high rank bio-soldiers around them. A hypnotist like this had a lot of advantages in this place. He didn't have to worry about being attacked by other beasts with these beast puppets.
It was this person who had hypnotized the twelve white mice and tricked Silin and the others back then. Who would've thought that Silin would instantly kill the twelve white mice?
Right now, this person was resting. Deep hypnosis was a lot more exhausting than normal hypnosis, and the stronger a person or creature was, the more energy it took to hypnotize them. He had just hypnotized another three white mice, so he was catching his breath.
The expansion of Celine's safe zone had already made a name for itself in this large region. Many people had chosen to seek refuge and cooperate with them, but this hypnotist wanted to take that safe zone for himself. He was prepared to arrange an attack with puppets and monster puppets, then hypnotize the core personnel there and take over that place.
Silin and Huimao had split up before they arrived here. They had already released the newly developed drug in a large area with this area as the center. This drug had a special inducer that would excite the white mice and biochemical beasts and lead them to the source of the drug.
The net had been cast, and all Silin could do now was wait.
Using beasts to control beasts was the best way, wasn't it?
Due to the changes in the brains of the hypnotized white mice, they wouldn't react to the drug. Therefore, they just sat there quietly. They didn't react to Silin's drug at all. Since the drug was specially made to target the white mice, the bio-soldiers and beasts didn't react in the slightest. The hypnotist trusted his pets, so he just sat there and rested.
Huimao's ears twitched, and he signaled to Silin, "They're coming!"
Silin had also noticed the movement coming from afar. He and Huimao hid there quietly to observe the hypnotist's movements.
Finally, the white mice and beasts that had been hypnotized into puppets began to notice something and issued a shrill warning.
The hypnotist woke up. He looked around and took out a gun that he had obtained from one of the hypnotized people. He stepped back and let the puppets protect him.
There was a cave behind him. If the puppets couldn't hold on, he would close the cave. He had to survive this crisis first. If the puppets were killed, they could be hypnotized again. He wasn't worried about that. At most, he would just have to spend a little more energy.
The first white mouse was running toward him. It was obvious that it had been hypnotized. The hypnotist looked at the excited white mouse and frowned. He could tell that the white mouse wasn't hypnotized, but why would such an agitated white mouse run toward him?
No matter what, he had to get rid of the white mouse first.
The hypnotist ordered the three puppet white mice to deal with the white mouse. The three white mice didn't disappoint him. Soon, amidst the white mouse's screams, the first white mouse was bitten to death by the other three.
However, this was just the beginning. White mice started appearing one after another, and their numbers were increasing. It wasn't only because of Silin's drug, but also because of the sharp screams of the white mice from both sides. The screams were like a catalyst for the drug, causing the white mice behind to become even more excited. Their bodies expanded and they ran even faster, as if they couldn't wait anymore.
Silin gave Huimao a look.
Huimao received the order and sent a message to Hei Dou, who was far away in the safe zone.
In the safe zone, after Hei Dou received the signal from Huimao, she took out a projector and transferred the signal.
The image shown on the projector was the scene Huimao saw.
The puppeteer panicked when he saw the increasing number of agitated white mice. He couldn't understand why this was happening, so he sent out all the biochemical soldiers and the twenty or so hypnotized white mice, leaving only the two brainwashed people to protect him at the entrance of the cave.
The biochemical soldiers and beasts were completely defenseless against the white mice in this state. A few biochemical soldiers were torn apart by the white mice, and with a few stomps of their large claws, they were turned into meat paste.
What caught everyone's attention was the battle between the white mice and their biochemical beasts. Both sides were agitated white mice, but since they had been hypnotized, it would affect the potential of the white mice. Under the condition of excessive agitation, the natural white mice were more skilled than the hypnotized ones. In the beginning, the hypnotized white mice had the advantage due to their numbers, but slowly, more and more white mice gathered from other places. Ten, twenty, thirty …
The scene of the white mice biting and tearing each other sent chills down everyone's spines. These guys were indeed excellent biochemical beast weapons. The collisions, bites, and kicks caused the spikes on their bodies to shoot everywhere. The surrounding stone walls were already covered with a layer of broken spikes.
The situation gradually became one-sided. The hypnotist decided to hide in the cave. Before he went in, he felt something hit him, but since he didn't see any injuries, he didn't pay much attention to it. What he didn't know was that the thing that hit him was a soft bullet shot by Silin that was filled with drugs. When the soft bullet hit the hypnotist, it broke and released the drugs, causing them to stick to the hypnotist's body.
Therefore, the white mice that came one after another only had eyes for the hypnotist standing in the cave.
The hypnotist ordered the two puppets to block the cave and retreat into the depths of the cave. However, the digging ability of mice was not to be underestimated, let alone the white mice that were in such a state.
One, two … After the white mice finished dealing with the puppets, the biochemical beasts began to dig into the hole.
Huimao took the opportunity to sneak into the cave. After all, it had a difficult task — live broadcast.
