Chapter 547 Footsteps of Fear
Nourishes—

The pitch-black military boots stepped on the soft and fine dust, making a light and long sound.

The mercenaries wearing exoskeleton armor held Gauss rifles in their hands and slowly climbed the stairs without any fences.

They took every step carefully and watched their surroundings vigilantly.

Pathlights overhead illuminate the decaying buildings in the dark night.

The quiet night seemed to swallow everything that fell into this darkness.

click -

A slight sound came from the depths of the darkness.

"Who?!"

The mercenary standing at the front immediately raised his head and looked in the direction of the voice in the darkness.

The pathlight above his head shines on a disused metal barrel.

It was the fire barrel that the homeless people who used to live here surrounded to keep warm, and some rotten wood was scattered around the fire barrel. They passed by there before, kicked some wood, and changed the position of the wood.

The sound just now seemed to come from the sound of rotten wood breaking after changing its position.

"call--"

There was a sigh of relief in the night.

The three mercenaries presented a triangular formation and continued to walk upwards.

They slowly stepped up the steps, and finally put their feet on the flat floor.

A round of bright moon hangs in the sky, illuminating the hazy night. The soldiers standing at the front look around. The buildings in the city are lit with bright lights, as if they are among the bright stars.

This is the roof of this small building. Since the building has not been completed, there is only a simple skeleton, and the position of the roof is not blocked by any low walls. It is a completely flat area.

Looking far away, you can even see the edge of the rooftop that looks like a cliff under the night.

The three mercenaries each turned on the pathfinding lights above their heads and began to search around carefully.

"Teams report on searches."

At this time, a calm but full of breath came from the walkie-talkie in front of their chests.

"No target found on the first floor."

"No target found on the second floor."

"No target found on the third floor."

······
"No target found on the seventh floor."

The report came to an abrupt end here, and after a short pause, the voice sounded again, "Where's the rooftop?"

"Report," the mercenary at the front pressed the button of the walkie-talkie. He looked ahead and said slowly, "The rooftop is investigating..."

He raised his head and looked forward while talking, but he stopped in the middle of his words.

His gaze was fixed on the depths of the night, not far ahead, near the edge of the roof, a somewhat lonely figure was standing quietly under the moonlight.

The pathfinder lights above the mercenary's head shone on the lonely figure, on his blood-stained clothes and messy locks of hair.

This is a gentle man.

This was the first thought of the mercenary standing in the front. The man in front of him stood here, acting gentle and harmless, like a scholar who was thinking.

At the same time, the mercenary also knew that this was the target he was looking for, worth 1000 million, an extremely dangerous and crazy target.

He stopped his words, raised his Gauss rifle without hesitation, and aimed at the figure in the night. At the same time, the two mercenaries behind him took out two reagents at the same time, and plunged into the own body.

He Ao, who was standing on the edge of the roof, watched the mercenary pointing his gun at him with a smile on his face.

This smile raised a little bit, like a lunatic in hell curling up his mouth.

The distorted and crazy face concealed the gentleness just now, bringing extreme depression and confusion.

The mercenary at the front pointed at He Ao without hesitation and pulled the trigger.

Gauss rifle bullets streaked across the void, sending out violent sonic booms.

However, at this moment, the mercenary could no longer see where his bullet was going. The sharp blade pierced through the gap in the exoskeleton armor and pierced his neck, and bright red blood gushed out like a fountain.

He Ao pulled out his dagger and looked behind the mercenary. At this moment, the other two mercenaries had finished injecting the reagents.

One of the soldiers glanced at He Ao, and his figure disappeared suddenly.

'sneak'

The ability of the D-level talent sequence 'Assassin'.

In the next second, He Ao took half a step back, as if he had dodged some attack, and then the dagger in his hand stabbed into the void beside him.

In an instant, the mercenary who had disappeared showed his figure. He held the knife that was stabbed at He Ao with one hand, but He Ao flashed it, and covered the chest pierced by He Ao with one hand.

He looked at He Ao with disbelief on his face, as if he couldn't understand He Ao's method of seeing through his disguise.

At the same time, the body of another mercenary suddenly swelled, and he punched He Ao with his fist.

What this mercenary displayed at this moment should be the ability of 'thug', a D-level talent sequence.

He Ao withdrew the dagger, jumped back, and dodged the fist.

And the place where he was standing just now was directly smashed into a huge hole, and cement and broken bricks splashed out.

The inflated mercenary was overjoyed when he saw the results he had achieved, and immediately took a step forward, waving his huge fist, and smashed it at He Ao.

At this moment, He Ao also raised his head, staring at the mercenary, the sharp dagger twirled in his hand, threw it violently, and instantly pierced the mercenary's forehead.

boom--

The huge fist didn't land on He Ao's body in the end, but leaned forward, brought the mercenary's huge body colliding together, and fell down on the smashed concrete floor.

He Ao took a look at the dead mercenary, stretched out his hand, and pulled out the dagger stuck between his eyebrows.

He hadn't used the power of super memory just now, but used the power of Jess's own 'Giving Man'. With the help of the method of gathering power in one place, as well as his rich combat experience, he completed three kills.

After being promoted to C-level, every use of Super Memory will burden the body.

Although Jess was originally an extraordinary person, his physical fitness is not good, and his mental state still has some problems. After using super memory, the damage to his body is higher than that of the character in the same D-level state in the previous copy. .

So He Ao has been controlling the use of super memory, trying to use his body's own strength as much as possible.

The high-intensity use of super memory to fight before has already caused some damage to the body.

Shaking off the blood on the dagger, He Ao stared at the two people who had just injected the reagent.

At this moment, the bodies of these two people were decaying and disappearing at a speed beyond common sense. In just a few seconds, these powerful flesh and blood bodies decayed into white bones wrapped in exoskeleton armor.

He Ao turned on Super Memory briefly and took a look, and their souls had completely disappeared.

The effect of using genetic medicine on humans is completely different from that on animals. When Jess was experimenting before, animals or strange beasts that had used genetic medicine could temporarily increase their extraordinary strength, but the improvement would not be too great. Many, the corpse will decay faster after death, but not so fast.

Perhaps this is also related to the fact that Jess has been using F-level genetic medicines for experiments, and has never done excessive experiments. What Jess observed is only the effect of low-level genetic medicines in an appropriate state.

And these two mercenaries, and the red-haired man He Ao met before, used D-level or even C-level genetic medicines, and they briefly promoted themselves to become the corresponding powerful extraordinary people, and even obtained the complete body of the corresponding extraordinary people. ability.

And after they died, their souls disappeared instantly and their bodies decayed quickly.

It seems that this is the side effect of genetic medicine.

However, does this side effect only take effect upon death, or are there other trigger conditions, and death is just one of them?

These are not within the scope of Jess's original research. He Ao has no relevant information in his mind. Maybe the mysterious man and the laboratory he built will have clues.

However, after the battle just now, He Ao already had a basic understanding of the combat power of the extraordinary created by the genetic medicine.

These 'superhumans' who use genetic medicine to obtain extraordinary power are weaker than normal promoted transcendents, and their strength is about [-]% to [-]% of normal promoted transcendents.

And although it has acquired complete extraordinary abilities, it does not seem to be the same as a normally promoted extraordinary person. Once promoted, it can command these abilities to a certain extent. There is a clear sense of unfamiliarity.

For example, the assassin just now, He Ao didn't use the power of super memory, but he still easily found the opponent's position by observing the surrounding environment and the combat experience accumulated when he was an assassin before.

This is the consequence of unskilled use of abilities and inadequate use.

Even if a genuine 'Assassin' came over, He Ao might not be able to please him.

"Group eight, can you hear me?"

On the walkie-talkie on the chest of the mercenary who fell at the beginning, the voice sounded again, "Can you hear it?"

He Ao slowly squatted down and took off the walkie-talkie.

At this time, the intercom seemed to realize something, and suddenly shouted, "Jess, are you on the rooftop?"

He Ao did not speak, but turned on the talk button of the intercom, then picked up the intercom and threw it down the stairwell.

Accompanied by bursts of crisp voices, his figure disappeared between the stairs.

······
"The target is on the rooftop!!!"

"Inject the reagent immediately!!!"

"Block all roads coming down from the roof!"

The noisy footsteps sounded in the dilapidated old building.

"Shrink the encirclement and maintain the formation."

A figure who looked like an adjutant stood by the stairs on the sixth floor, and was quickly directing other mercenaries to get closer and rush towards the top of the building.

Several three-person teams quickly passed in front of him. He lowered his head and looked down the stairs. There was another team going up the stairs quickly, "What the hell are you doing? Is there a big-ass pussy down here? For me faster!"

boom--

Just then, there was a muffled sound behind him.

He turned his head and saw a figure standing in the darkness, the light of the searchlight above his head spread forward, and his hands moved almost simultaneously.

None of their mercenaries were left alone.

The only ones left alone are the enemy.

He pressed the button of the exoskeleton armor on his body, and the exoskeleton armor with injection function activated instantly.

The silver needle was inserted into his body, and accompanied by severe pain, he injected a powerful reagent into the muscle.

In the next second, his body swelled violently, and muscles like horned dragons spread along the gaps in the exoskeleton armor, propping out fine cracks in the solid alloy structural parts.

And when the medicine was injected, the movement of his hands did not stop. He raised the Gauss rifle hanging on his body, and aimed at the black figure without hesitation.

The bullets that shot out instantly pierced Sombra's body, leaving a big hole in Sombra's chest.

No, it's a corpse!Got it!

When the adjutant realized all this, a phantom rushed out from the side in an instant, and the icy light oriented towards his neck.

A faint red light shrouded the adjutant's body. Without fear, he raised his arm wrapped in the exoskeleton armor, and punched the phantom's body with one punch.

He Ao watched the fist hit, a distorted thought suddenly appeared in his mind, trying to influence his will, trying to extremize his thoughts.

This feeling is very familiar. The last time he had this feeling was when he was in Kaya City.

This is the ability of the C-level talent sequence 'Paranoid' in the Church of the God of Chaos.

The person He Ao met last time with this talent sequence was Chaos, the favored member of the Church of the God of Chaos.

That was the enemy he met in the Wei'an dungeon, but thinking about it now, Chaos, who was crazy and wanted to make a large-scale sacrifice at the time, is so similar to Jess at the moment.

If Jess hadn't always had kind thoughts in his heart, he might have fallen into the arms of the God of Chaos at some point.

He Ao raised the dagger, activated Super Memory instantly, and collided with the fist swung by the adjutant without hesitation.

The sharp dagger easily cut through the solid alloy of the exoskeleton armor, and then slammed down, cutting off several of the adjutant's fingers.

"what!"

The adjutant was in pain, but he didn't stop the movement of his hands. When one fist hit He Ao's dagger, his other fist had already swung out, hitting He Ao's lower abdomen.

Instead of retreating, He Ao drew in his stomach suddenly, turned to one side of his body, so that the fist would not hit his key parts, and at the same time, with great force, he sent the dagger in his hand to the adjutant's neck.

At the last moment, the adjutant flinched back, not allowing Howo to cut off his entire head.

But the sharp dagger still cut his neck.

At this time, the adjutant's fist also hit He Ao's body.

Accompanied by a crisp sound, He Ao's figure was thrown flying, hitting the dusty wall not far away.

"you······"

The adjutant covered his neck, opened his mouth, and wanted to speak, but there was only the sound of rumbling air breaking through the liquid.

He Ao stood up staggeringly, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and then disappeared again.

The attack just now was not enough to kill the adjutant.

This time, the adjutant didn't dare to let He Ao get close, covered his neck with one hand, raised the Gauss gun hanging on his body with the other hand, and started shooting at He Ao continuously.

Bullets splashed dust, mixed in the hazy night.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everything is so still.

The adjutant stared into the silent darkness, the lights of the searchlights shining on the reflective dust.

In this short time of less than a second, it is as long as a century.

The Gauss rifle was still being charged, the adjutant raised his hand, let the hand covering his throat move away, and pressed the walkie-talkie pinned to his shoulder.

At this moment, a icy-cold radiance suddenly waved out from the dust, cutting open his defenseless neck.

······
Hasty footsteps sounded from the stairs, and three mercenaries walked on the stairs from the fifth floor to the sixth floor.

Suddenly, their footsteps stopped, and a round thing rolled down from the sky.

The mercenary at the front subconsciously reached out and caught the thing.

Bright red blood splashed all over him in an instant.

He lowered his head and looked at the items in his arms.

The adjutant stared at him with horrified eyes fixed at the last moment.

Then, in his eyes, the fleshy head quickly decayed, turning into pure white bones.

The mercenary's hands trembled uncontrollably.

Under the silent night, silent fear spread in the darkness.
