Chapter 5: First Encounter
林月点点头,已经开始调动体内的能量.她能感觉到基因网络的波动,这些觉醒者的存在就像网络中的一个病毒节点.
马克似乎已经失去了耐心:"既然你们不认识,那也别怪我们无礼.他向他的下属打手势,"把他们打倒!"
战斗闪电般爆发!
代号为"幻影"的女性觉醒者,瞬间从原地消失了.她高速移动和局部改变物质状态的能力使她能够将身体的一部分转变为类似等离子体的状态.下一秒,她出现在两名特工的身后,手臂变成了锋利的能量刀.
"Watch your back!" Rollin shouted. But it was still a step too late, and a deep crack was cut in one of the agents' bulletproof vest, and blood immediately poured out.
The other agent reacted immediately, turning around and activating the electromagnetic interference device in the equipment. A circle of electromagnetic waves spread, interfering with the capabilities of the "Phantom". Her form became unstable and she had to withdraw temporarily.
At the same time, the Awoken, codenamed "Lizard", began his offensive. His entire upper body was covered in dark green scales, and when he opened his mouth, he spewed out a large amount of corrosive liquid.
"Cover!" Chen Quan activated the quantum shield, but the shield could only block part of the acid. Some droplets fell to the ground, immediately corroding the concrete out of the pit, and white smoke rose up.
The agents had to disperse and take shelter, and the situation on the battlefield immediately became chaotic. But this plays into the hands of the enemy. The female awakened person, codenamed "Vine", seized the opportunity and unleashed countless rattans. The vines emerged from cracks in the ground and struck the scattered members of the Night's Watch like nimble snakes.
Rollin watched the battlefield, his brain racing. His abilities allow him to see weaknesses in each enemy's genetic chain, but the question is how to use this information effectively.
"We have to deal with the 'vines' first," Luo Lin said to Lin Yue, "and her abilities are cutting us off." "
Lin Yue was about to respond, but suddenly felt a strong dizziness. It was the Awakened One, codenamed "Vision", who activated the ability to create hallucinations that act directly on the brain.
In Lin Yue's field of vision, the surrounding environment began to distort, and everyone turned into terrifying monsters. She knew it was an illusion, but her brain was still reacting instinctively uncontrollably.
Seeing this, Luo Lin immediately turned around and rushed towards the "illusion". His genetic vision is not affected by hallucinations, allowing him to pinpoint the location of his enemies. But Mark was prepared and stopped directly in front of Rollin."I'm your opponent!" Mark's whole body was covered in a metallic shell, and his right fist exploded like a cannonball.Rollin barely raised his arms to block, but Mark's strength was too great. This punch directly shook his mouth numb, and the whole person slid backwards more than three meters.
Fortunately, this brief encounter allowed Rollin to capture important information in the Mark's genetic chain. His metallization ability is achieved by modifying metal-binding proteins in his genes, but this modification is eroding his nervous system.
"It won't last long, will it?" Rollin flicked his wrist as he said, "Your nerves are being metallized, and if you continue like this, your whole person will become a statue." "
Mark's expression changed significantly: "You ..."
But this momentary distraction cost him the lead. Luo Lin stepped forward, formed his right hand into a palm, and took a special acupuncture point between Mark's chest and abdomen. This is where the most fragile node in his genetic chain is connected.
"Bang!" Mark hastily blocked, but Rollin's attack eerily bypassed his defenses and hit the target hard. Mark snorted, cracks appearing in his metallized skin.
At the same time, Lin Yue finally broke through the interference of the "illusion". She mobilizes energy in her genetic network to release a special wave of bioelectric impulses. This pulse specifically targets unstable gene structures.
"Ahh Several members of the Blu-ray Group let out screams of pain at the same time. Their forcibly modified genes are defenseless against such attacks.
Especially the "illusion", his ability was directly interrupted, and the whole person fell to his knees on the ground and hugged his head and shouted. Without the distraction of hallucinations, the Night's Watch agents immediately seized the opportunity to fight back.
Multiple electromagnetic rifles fired at the same time, and blue-white arcs weaved into a web in the air. "Phantom" wants to use her abilities to dodge, but due to a genetic disorder, her movement speed is much lower than before. An electromagnetic beam struck her in the shoulder, instantly incapacitating her to fight.
The "lizard" tried to spray acid for cover, but Chen Quan was prepared. He activated the pre-arranged quantum interference device, and the energy field generated directly interfered with the glandular activity of the "lizard". The acid got stuck in his throat and instead burned himself.
The condition of the "vines" is also not very good. The plants she controlled began to grow wildly and were completely out of control. Countless rattans writhed wildly in the air, but soon withered due to genetic collapse.
Mark watched the battle turn sharply and gritted his teeth: "Retreat!" He stared at Rollin unwillingly, "Boy, you're finished!" Wait and see! "
The five Awoken fought and retreated, and soon disappeared into the abandoned buildings.
"Don't pursue," Chen Quan stopped the agents who wanted to catch up, "they may still have an ambush." "Luo Lin walked up to Lin Yue: "Are you okay?" "Lin Yue shook her head: "I'm fine, but it's you ..." She pointed to Luo Lin's arm, where there was a large bruise, which was the mark of being hit by Mark.
"It's just a small injury," Rollin moved his arm, "I've learned a lot from this fight." It turns out that the battle between the Awakened is like this..."
After Chen Quan checked the condition of the wounded, he came over and said, "This is just the beginning. The appearance of the Blu-ray organization shows that there are already people eyeing the results of the Spark Project. We must speed up. "
Several agents quickly cleaned up the battlefield and erased any traces that might reveal their identities. Others stepped up to set up temporary power systems in preparation for access to underground labs.
"I always feel that something is wrong," Lin Yue looked at the direction of the Blu-ray organization's retreat, "They came too coincidentally, and they ..."
Rollin understood what she meant: "And they know everything about our actions. "
"It means that someone inside may have leaked the news," Chen Quan frowned, "I have to investigate it when I go back." But for now, let's finish the task at hand. "
With the backup power turned on, the lab buried deep underground gradually restored its energy supply. In the dark passageway, emergency lights were lit one after another. But weirdly, some of the lights weren't turned on by them, and it seemed like some of the lab's systems were never really turned off.
"Be careful," Chen Quan held up the detector, "the energy readings here are a little abnormal. "
Luo Lin and Lin Yue walked in the middle of the group, surrounded by agents. But both of them felt some strange sense of oppression, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching them in the dark.
At this moment, Lin Yue suddenly stopped: "Wait! "
Everyone was immediately on alert. Lin Yue closed her eyes and carefully felt the fluctuations in the genetic network: "Here... There is a very strong consciousness. "
Rollin also sensed that in his genetic vision, the entire underground space was shrouded in a strange life field. The structure of this life field is extremely complex, completely different from ordinary living organisms.
"Could it be ..." Before Chen Quan's words were finished, the lights in the laboratory suddenly went out and turned on again in an instant. All the displays were activated at the same time, flashing with weird codes.
A mechanical voice sounded through the speakers above them: "Welcome back, Lin Yue." I've been waiting for this day for a long time..."
