From Titan Corporation to the Empire of Man

Chapter 133 Seed Thunder
  嘡嘡嘡-!

The unique sound of large-caliber firearms continued to resound throughout this simulated neighborhood.

Bang!Bang!
  Personnel D and others, who were wearing prison uniforms and well-equipped, exploded in response.

In an instant, blood, pieces of meat and minced meat spurted out from the inside out, and blood mist filled the air.

It seems that the large-caliber warhead has the ability to explode twice, which caused such a scene.

"Run...run!"

"What the hell is that!"

The D and other personnel who were originally able to fight back and forth with BOW, and even gain the upper hand, saw their surrounding partners explode and die one by one, their morale was completely lost, and they turned around and fled like crazy.

During the escape process, some D and other personnel would kick down their so-called companions, disrupting their running rhythm and giving themselves more chances to survive.

This is routine operation for them.

If it weren't for the self-destructive chip installed on the back of the head, forcing them to obey Atlas's command, then as soon as they got the guns and equipment, they would execute the guys who they didn't have a good relationship with, or who they didn't like.

Of course, if they actively cooperate and successfully survive, they will be able to obtain the use of a single shower room, as well as two extra meals a day of desserts and snacks.

Therefore, the level of morale is all determined by ruthlessness.

Facing a BOW that could be solved with firearms and individual plasma cannons, their morale was high.

However, facing "people" who also use long-range weapons and whose physique is almost the same as BOW, their priority is to save their lives.

After all, Atlas's requirement is to "survive successfully" and does not explicitly state "destroy the enemy", so running away and avoiding is the most correct thing.

Soon, the D and other personnel gathered at the intersection dispersed, leaving only blood and corpses on the ground.
-
  now.

In the stairwell of an apartment building not far away.

"Huh...huh..."

A D-class personnel who had successfully escaped was sitting on the steps, breathing hard and trying to calm down his overly nervous mind.

Moreover, this young man with short hair had committed multiple shootings and robberies before being arrested and imprisoned. Logically speaking, he should be used to murder and death.

But the weapons used by that "man" were really too perverted.

If you get hit, you'll die...

Still exploded and died tragically.

This is not a large-caliber gun, it is obviously a small-caliber gun!

Among the ammunition provided by Atlas, there are also 6.2mm and .30cal caliber high-explosive bombs, but they cannot achieve the effect of shattering the entire body.

The more important point is that this short-haired man successfully captured the appearance of that "person", or "heavy armored soldier", through the helmet's single-eye holographic screen.

He is at least 2.7 meters tall, almost 2.8 meters tall.

He was extremely muscular and seemed to be much stronger than the tyrants they encountered. He was holding a large-caliber firearm that blew his companions to pieces.

The whole body is covered with heavy black armor, and no exposed mechanical bones can be seen. It seems to rely entirely on physical strength for support. This is the main reason why the soldier looks extremely strong.

It's just that the soldier's face was ferocious, with stitched wounds all over his face. His skin was blood red, but his eyes were filled with pale golden... light?
  It’s better to say it’s a “ghost” than a human being!
  Maybe a high-end model of tyrant?

Or other humanoid biological weapons?

The short-haired man couldn't guess, and he didn't know what kind of biological weapons Atlas had. He only knew that the result of not running away would definitely be death.

Oh—!
  But before he could rejoice in his successful escape, the fatal gunshot sounded again, and the large-caliber warhead easily penetrated the wall and rushed directly into the stairwell.

Bang—!
  Then, the world in front of him fell into endless darkness, and the moment he heard the sound of gunshots, his body had exploded and shattered.

If you leave the stairwell along the gap penetrated by the large-caliber warhead, then leave the first-floor lobby of the apartment building until you reach the street outside;

Boom, boom.

You can hear heavy footsteps.

You can also see the heavily armored soldier who killed the short-haired man.

The appearance is consistent with the one captured on the monocular holographic screen, but the armor has no power or any auxiliary effect, and it simply provides protection.

Therefore, without wearing a helmet, precise aiming and quick kills were achieved by relying on pure naked eye vision.

As for the reason why the short-haired man was shot through the wall, it was not because the soldier had clairvoyance, but because his breathing when he was calming his mind revealed his position.

Next, the soldiers walked leisurely on the streets, and efficiently used burst fire or strafing to eliminate D and other personnel who were hiding in hiding.

There was a grumpy D-class personnel who did not want to sit still and take advantage of the gap between the soldiers to change ammunition, and directly used individual plasma cannons to launch a sneak attack.

However, the soldier was keenly aware of the small movements of D and others, and by turning slightly sideways, he easily dodged the plasma cannon regiment that did not have intelligent tracking capabilities.

Complete the dodge.

Replace the magazine.

The soldiers continued to launch a unilateral crushing offensive.

Get off this street.

View the entire simulated town from above.

It can be seen that there are a total of ten soldiers wearing black armor and holding artillery-caliber rifles, methodically clearing out D-class personnel who are sixty times more than "them".

However, during the sweeps, it is inevitable that they will encounter desperate resistance.

After all, D and other personnel are mostly extremely vicious guys. Seeing that running and avoiding are useless, they naturally fight with the idea that they would rather die together than take a bite of meat.

As a result, the pressure faced by the ten heavily armored soldiers increased sharply, and some even suffered concentrated fire attacks.

The black armor "they" wear can withstand attacks of most calibers, but cannot withstand extremely high-temperature plasma.

Not to mention that D and other personnel also have .30cal caliber smart machine guns equipped with smart high-explosive rounds, tracking rounds and armor-piercing rounds.

According to the standards of weapons and equipment, it is equivalent to Atlas's armed security.

Although the word "security" is used, Atlas's armed security personnel are armed personnel responsible for protecting bases and important facilities, and their combat effectiveness is also guaranteed. Therefore, in this actual combat test, Atlas had an absolute "conscience" and provided active weapons and equipment. However, the combat quality of these more than 600 D-level personnel was worrying.

finally.
  Still standing between the streets were heavily armored soldiers wearing black armor and holding large-caliber rifles.
-
  ...

at the same time.

Located in the observation room on the upper section of the north side of the simulated town.

"The actual combat test has ended. All six hundred and twenty D-level personnel participating in this test have died."

“Six of the test subjects suffered varying degrees of damage, but still maintained smooth mobility.

Two of them were seriously injured and needed to be recovered and repaired as soon as possible; the remaining two had lost their physiological functions and could no longer be used for the time being. "

"The specific data statistics will be completed in thirty minutes, and will be directly uploaded to the biological department for analysis."

The staff sitting in front of their respective operating desks were reporting key details to their supervisors and bosses in turn orally.

Many researchers from the Department of Biology wearing medical white robes and holding thin tablets gathered together and started a preliminary research discussion based on the test video.

And next to the observation window.

Alexia Ashford, the head of the biology department, had her hands folded on her chest, looking at the simulated town through the observation window, smiling at the person standing beside her with an undisguised "show off" smile. Sui Yang next to him said:
  "Ten against six hundred, six are slightly injured, two are seriously injured, and two are dead. How about this ratio? Just looking at this ratio, isn't it much better than the previous super soldier plan? Haha!"

At the end of the sentence, Alexia almost laughed out loud.

"Cough" Fortunately, she immediately noticed her gaffe, cleared her throat quickly, and continued:
  “This trial has proven the feasibility of gene seeds, but judging from the current data and performance, I think there is still a long way to go before we can achieve your expected results.

At least, the super warriors you and I think of should not look like the following group of people who have no self-awareness and ability to think.

So their main flaw is that if you want to display their true strength, you need to control them yourself.

If it were just a simple reinvention, it might not be as good as a heavily armored tyrant controlled by the driver's nerves. "

"."

Hearing this, Sui Yang nodded without making any verbal comments.

And the slightly frowning expression also means that he is deep in thought.

Because in the actual combat test, it was Alexia and her team who defeated six hundred heavily armored soldiers of D-class personnel with a crushing force. It was Alexia and her team who implanted the current gene seeds into ten clones. The product".

In 1993, when the first space gate opened, Sui Yang proposed the concept of gene seeds to Alexia.

Moreover, Sui Yang also approved Alexia to use his clones to conduct various experiments.

For example, nearly a thousand virus experiments were carried out with the ancestor virus extracted from the Flower of God, as well as Veronica and the T virus.
  It seems a bit "crazy", but Sui Yang's clone is also a body without any consciousness.

Coupled with the particularity of Sui Yang's own physique, all clones are unable to maintain a stable state and will collapse, necrosis, and death on their own before long.

Therefore, Alexia and her biological team need to rush to complete the experiment and collect biological samples before the clone dies.

Through virus experiments, Alexia successfully obtained a strain that was mutated from the Veronica virus.

This strain not only has milder characteristics, but also has the characteristics of slowly enhancing physiological functions and repairing original defects.

Even so, if ordinary people are infected with this strain, they will still end up becoming a "zombie."

However, Alexia had no idea of ​​weaponizing the strain and just continued to use it to infect Sui Yang's clones.

After Robert (Guilliman) and Sanguinius reached adulthood, the Department of Biology used the blood, body cells and biological tissues of the two original bodies to clone them, and then cooperated with his clones to carry out gene seed research.

And because they are father and son, the clones of the two original bodies are also extremely difficult to form and will collapse and die soon.

However, the increase in experimental materials is still helpful for the research of gene seeds.

After several years of experiments, Alexia finally successfully extracted a sarcoma-like glandular tissue from a clone in Sui Yang on June 1999, 6, namely——

Prototype Gene Seed.

After recording the experimental data on June 6, Alexia used the same method to cultivate clones based on Robert, Sanguinius, Leon, Horus, and Magnus, recording each Gene-seed of unique information about the locator.

But as Alexia said, the current gene seeds still have a long way to go before they can achieve the desired results.

In addition, the current stage of the original gene seeds is far less stable than Sui Yang.

Therefore, the Department of Biology decided to store the original body's gene seeds in cold storage for subsequent in-depth research, and at the same time focused the research on Sui Yang's gene seeds.

So on June 6 this year, the Department of Biology selected the ten most physically strong clone soldier prototypes, that is, personnel such as D who had died long ago but had biological information and tissue samples stored.

If the procedures for cultivating and producing cloned soldiers are followed, these prototypes will undergo brain tissue removal surgery by automated robotic arms after completion of cloning.

But before the removal surgery, the Department of Biology deliberately took ten physiologically intact clones off the production line, transferred them to the Biological Experiment Center, and arranged for the implantation of gene seeds.

When a strong rejection reaction was about to occur, ten clones were placed in an exclusive cultivation chamber.

In this way, it not only accelerates the transformation of the body by gene seeds, but also avoids physiological death caused by rejection.

However, the only risk of this operation is that it is "expensive".

Each clone consumes more than ten times the nutrient film fluid and balancing agents as the mass-produced Tyrant.

Fortunately, the biology department “has deep pockets. Moreover, in order to obtain more substantial data for future mass production, this kind of experiment that consumes a lot of resources and funds is a necessary step.

That time comes to July 7th.

After more than a month of accelerated transformation, the clone's height has expanded to about two and a half meters, and all aspects such as skin, muscles, and bone density have been qualitatively improved.

Immediately afterwards, the Department of Biology carried out several transformation operations on the clones.

They are the implantation of spare hearts and lungs, the carbon fiberization of bones, the injection of nanorobots carrying the genetic information of the 24th pair of chromosomes, and the further strengthening of sensory systems such as vision, hearing and smell.

In the end, these ten clones became super soldiers without souls, self-awareness and thinking logic.

Combined with Sui Yang's psychic control, he showed his due agility, accurate shooting, and powerful strength.

However, at this time, Sui Yang felt that these ten clones were quite similar to the Thunder Warriors in "Warhammer 40k" in terms of appearance and actual combat performance.
