Chapter 23 LV2 Flesh Zombie Meat

A starkly different notification gave Su Han a big surprise.

He had thought at most, it would simply replace the current fusion progress bar, and if successful and highly compatible, it would change to fusing with the Spider Monster's material.

Even though it would make the 92% progress of the LV1 corpse flesh vanish, if it changed to Spider Monster, it would be a fusion from LV0 to LV1, which might not need too much material.

But now, according to the notification message, the Spider Monster's material actually belonged to a higher-tier material than the corpse flesh, and could even replace the corpse flesh for fusion upgrades; this was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

There was no time to lose. With the fusion progress of the corpse flesh nearly complete, Su Han naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity, so he made his choice immediately.

"Initiate fusion transformation."

Following the command, the Four-armed Corpse's body began to change, its flesh slowly writhed, turning into strands of rich, crimson thread, pulsating vividly with a hint of eeriness, and gradually creeping towards the Spider Monster's body.

The fusion gradually began. Under Su Han's gaze, the flesh of the Spider Monster's body started disappearing bit by bit, revealing the contorted, stark white bones beneath the flesh, especially on the Spider Monster's lower half. This was a section of extremely twisted and deformed bone, a spider-shaped frame made up of many fine or elongated bones interconnecting.

The large abdomen was composed entirely of flesh, and throughout the fusion process with the Four-armed Corpse, one could still see tiny human limbs falling, while apart from the spider-shaped abdomen, the sharp spider legs and the framework that supported the entire body were made of bone, like a sturdy chassis, each segment of bone was exceptionally thick and hard, and it was this body structure that gave the Spider Monster its unimaginable size and strength.

As the Four-armed Corpse continued to fuse, more and more white bones were exposed on the powerful monster's fleshly body, as the flesh gradually became less and less.

What excited Su Han the most was that the fusion progress on the Four-armed Corpse's attribute panel was continuously rising, ascending faster than when he fused corpse bodies on other floors.

Within just under 10 minutes, the Fusion Degree had already increased from 92% to 98%. The Spider Monster's flesh, as a higher-tier material, was clearly much more potent in fusion than the corpse flesh, with a high conversion ratio.

"Just a little bit more."

As Su Han watched the Fusion Degree steadily rise, now only 2 points away from reaching 100%, and only half a human torso of the Spider Monster was left, he knew this was a sure thing, the advantage was his.

As time ticked away, when the Spider Monster's body was left with only bones, the corpse flesh fusion progress also reached 100%.

[LV2 Corpse Flesh Fusion complete, obtained Skills Self-healing·Primary]

With the completion of the fusion, the Four-armed Corpse's body began to undergo even more pronounced changes.

As the Contractor, Su Han could distinctly feel a vigorous vitality emanating from inside out, and under this push of life force, the Four-armed Corpse's strength was rapidly increasing.

A powerful surge flowed from the Book of Blood Spirit back into him, a potent force rushing through his entire body, he shuddered as his physical condition improved and strength burgeoned like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, followed by an indescribable sensation of comfort.

It took several minutes for this surge of power to gradually fade, from a roaring river to a normal trickle, slowly enhancing Su Han's body.

Angel Envoy: Four-armed Corpse

Level: First Order Upper Grade

Skills: [Claw] [Iron Skin] [Self-healing·Primary]

Fusion: LV2 Ordinary Metal, LV2 Corpse Flesh

"First Order Upper Grade, it seems that the enhancement from Primary Self-Healing is not insignificant."

Transitioning from Medium to High Grade, the Four-armed Corpse's strength has significantly increased, and its aura has become much more powerful. However, Su Han was more curious about the strength of the Primary Self-Healing.

He found the nearest room and went in, then took out a kitchen knife from the kitchen.

Practice is the sole criterion for testing truth.

The best way to test the regenerative ability is to take a slice; after all, it's the Four-armed Corpse that would feel the pain, not him.

Holding the kitchen knife in his hand, he gestured over the arm of the Four-armed Corpse and then gently cut across it. The tense muscles gave the knife a slight sense of resistance.

However, without activating Iron Skin, the knife still smoothly slit the skin of the Four-armed Corpse, creating a 10-centimeter-long cut on its arm, from which blood quickly gushed and dripped onto the floor.

Su Han placed the kitchen knife aside and then carefully observed the wound on the Four-armed Corpse. After an initial rapid flow, the bleeding at the site of the injury significantly slowed down.

Moreover, at the edges of the wound, one could visibly see the granulation tissue squirming rapidly, and fine lines of flesh, like nematodes, were continuously connecting at the edges. The entire wound was healing at a visibly fast rate. Su Han roughly estimated the time; within about ten minutes, the original wound had diminished to less than a centimeter. In a little while, the entire wound healed as if it had never been there.

"Although it can't compare to Wolverine, 10 minutes is already quite fast."

Su Han was not the least bit dissatisfied. For the Four-armed Corpse to possess such a self-recovery ability was a pleasant surprise for him.

Considering the combat strength of the Four-armed Corpse, after acquiring the Regenerative Ability and coupled with its original defensive skill Iron Skin as well as the offensive skill Claw, all aspects of the Four-armed Corpse's capabilities were being gradually complemented, resulting in a synergistic triad of abilities that significantly enhanced its combat effectiveness and endurance, achieving the effect of 1+1+1>3. If it were to face a creature like the Spider Monster again, the Four-armed Corpse should be able to handle several at a time.

Besides, Su Han himself is very likely to be a direct beneficiary of the Regenerative Ability.

One should know that Contractors can perceive certain Skills of the Angel Envoy and thereby achieve synchronization. The previous Iron Skin is such an example.

The acquisition of Iron Skin gave Su Han strong defensive capabilities; in some situations, Iron Skin is a life-saving skill. Compared to the Four-armed Corpse, Iron Skin is Su Han's real "shield," and one of the key skills for survival in the apocalypse.

And now, he had gained an additional healing skill. Although it was currently only in the Four-armed Corpse, Su Han felt that he could put in more effort. If he could synchronize this skill from the Four-armed Corpse, Iron Skin + Self-healing, his life would be much tougher.

Common external injuries, even if one couldn't find a doctor or handle them properly, wouldn't result in a fate like that of the survivor on the sixth floor, who although had escaped the monster's pursuit, died in the room because the wounds were untreated.

'Try to understand how to synchronize after some time.'

Having made up his mind, Su Han was ready to leave. He did not linger, and after dealing with some traces, he returned to his room. Taking advantage of the darkness before dawn, he went back to the master bedroom for some more sleep.

The next morning, a pounding sound came from the door.

Su Han awoke from his sleep, his first reaction was to look towards the Four-armed Corpse guarding the bedroom door; the noise was coming from the outside.

He got up, opened the master bedroom's door, walked into the living room, and as the main door kept knocking, he asked, "Who is it outside?"

Zhu Xiong's voice came from outside, pressing down his tone, "Su Han, it's best you wash up and come out to have a look, there might be trouble."

Su Han furrowed his brows and immediately said, "I'm coming out now."
