Alien Dust

Chapter 473 Mechanical Cell Invasion
"Leader Zhu is dead, we listen to Leader Dai." Finally, there was a smart guy in the Black Butler Team, and he immediately expressed his position on behalf of the other twenty or so members.

Wu Hen's gaze returned to Dai Jing, wanting to hear her answer.

Dai Jing still didn't speak, but she suddenly stepped forward and attacked Wu Hen.

The moment she made her move, a bullet wrapped in flames flew towards her. Her seemingly slow attacking movement was about to meet the sniper bullet, but suddenly a phantom appeared, perfectly avoiding the bullet.

She continued to move forward without using any powerful killing moves, and even her attacks seemed a little slow.

When Wu Hen was wondering, the woman had already thrown herself into his arms and crawled into Wu Hen's thundering palm.

"what's the situation?"

Wu Hen's mind was full of questions, but he still grabbed Dai Jing's neck.

"I'll give you the thing, but we can't betray Black Shirt." Dai Jing seemed to know that Wu Hen had extrasensory hearing, so she lowered her voice to a very low level.

"Oh." Wu Hen quickly understood, "You want to make another deal with me, but you lied to me before. How can I trust you?"

Without waiting for Wu Hen to finish his words, Dai Jing pretended to be angry and broke free, even shouting in shame: "Let me go, I can't give you these passwords!"

Although he said he would not give it to Wu Hen, he forced his arm into Wu Hen's arms, which was equivalent to forcibly giving the remaining specimen code to Wu Hen.

Including the specimen code he obtained from Chief Zhu and the ones he and Dai Jing had, there were already one hundred and one codes, enough to open the door to Area L.

Wu Hen didn't quite understand why this cunning woman did this. Leader Zhu was obviously dead, so there was no need to do this even if it was for her subordinates to see. The members who had pointed guns at Dai Jing had already shown that they would obey the orders of the deputy leader.

Or is there someone else watching in secret?

What Dai Jing was worried about from the beginning to the end was not Leader Zhu, but the person who was monitoring this place from behind?

This is interesting...

Who could be hiding in the dark?

Are they the three people sent by Changqiu Hou to follow him? Are they also the top leaders of the Black Shirt Organization?
If so, that explains it.

Dai Jing was aware of the presence of the three people. She knew that they were very powerful and would not dare to do anything to betray the Black Shirt Organization. However, she did not want to be their enemy. She had control over the situation here. If a fight broke out, she might be able to escape, but her companions and subordinates would basically have a hard time surviving.

So the best way is to be held hostage.

Since she was held hostage, her subordinates had to obey Wu Hen's orders.

In this disguised way, Wu Hen took over the Black Butler Force. Whether she asked them to open Zone L or clear obstacles, it was not because she intended to betray the Black Shirt Organization, but because her ability was limited. Anyway, the real leader of this force was dead.

"As for the password, you can still get it even if I solve it. Why should I go through so much trouble?" Wu Hen roughly understood Dai Jing's idea, but he also began to ask for some benefits within a controllable range.

"There is a creature in Area L that you can't deal with. You can choose to trust me again, or we can fight to the death here, and those people will reap the benefits in the end." Dai Jing's voice was very low, as if she was giving Wu Hen a more appropriate suggestion.

Wu Hen recalled the scene where the other party dodged Guo Hong's bullet just now, and basically confirmed his previous guess.

"Okay, I'll trust you again. If you play tricks on me again, I won't be polite to you!" Wu Hen said.

"So what if you're not welcome? You haven't seen all of me. If you're interested, I'd be happy to keep you company." Dai Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of teasing.

Wu Hen laughed dryly.

It turned out that he was holding a grudge for the previous peeping incident. The problem was that in this place full of aliens, who would have thought that there would be a real woman taking a bath.

"We're barely even. Let's cooperate well from now on and not cause any trouble." Wu Hen said.

"You distributed the life beads to them. You also saw that my companions' bodies were eroded by living machines. They are like mechanical cells. They will constantly devour our human life tissues. When more than half of their bodies have been devoured, they will completely become mechanical creatures. They must take life beads to maintain their lives." Dai Jing said seriously.

"Mechanical erosion of cells?" Wu Hen was a little surprised. He had never heard of this substance before.

"Do you think that we dismantle the parts that belong to us as humans and replace them with those cold metals just for that little bit of pathetic power? If we really become a piece of metal without consciousness and feeling, then what is the difference between us and the walking dead walking on this earth!" Dai Jing said.

Wu Hen opened his mouth and was about to ask for more details when suddenly a Black Butler member let out a muffled howl, then fell to the ground, and his lower body began to twitch violently.

"What's going on?" Wu Hen asked.

"I am your hostage. You will know if you go and see for yourself." Dai Jing said.

Wu Hen pushed Dai Jing away and walked over to the member who was writhing in pain on the ground. He had taken off his mask, as if he couldn't breathe through the thick mask.

Under the mask was a rather childish face, probably only fifteen or sixteen years old. The boy's entire face had turned a terrifying black, as if some kind of neurotoxin was crawling up his face.

And these black neurotoxins spread from the mechanical body in his lower body. The part where the flesh and the mechanical body were connected was actually very rough, and there were even very scary welding marks. The welding part was the source of the neurotoxins. The sutures continuously secreted black cells, and these cells were crawling towards the boy's abdomen little by little like shade-loving plants.

Obviously, the black substance climbing the flesh is the mechanical cells mentioned by Dai Jing. They are inactive and more like diseased tissue, and are very aggressive.

The boy's entire face had turned carbon black. He stared at Wu Hen. He did not beg for the life bead in Wu Hen's hand, but only stared at the pistol that Wu Hen had taken from Chief Zhu, as if he hoped that Wu Hen could kill him with one shot, a man who was no longer of any use to him.

"How old are you?" Wu Hen asked.

"Fifteen..." said the black butler boy.

"You still have a lot of life ahead of you. There's no need to seek death." Wu Hen took out a life bead and gave it to the young man who was corroded by the machine.

Just like some kind of antidote, the Life Pearl did not bring him much life energy, but only suppressed the spread of mechanical cells in the welding area of ​​the abdomen, and the pain was slowly disappearing.

After a long time, the boy calmed down. He wiped the sweat from his cheeks, then picked up the mask on the ground and put it on his cheek.

The moment he put on the mask, he turned into a cold-blooded combat soldier. In front of these powerful mutant species, he was not much different from other soldiers.

"One for each person. If you can help me clear out those miscellaneous soldiers in Area L next, I will reward you with more." Wu Hen opened the box and asked Lu Xian to distribute the life beads to the remaining Black Butler troops.

Taking Dai Jing hostage is equivalent to taking over the Black Butler unit. If it is true as Dai Jing said, that there are things in Area L that he cannot deal with, then Wu Hen doesn't mind someone clearing the obstacles for him.

Moreover, these modified humans invaded by mechanical cells aroused Wu Hen's strong interest.

"I have mixed a specially prepared poison into the life beads. If anyone disobeys, I will turn him into a pool of blood immediately. From now on, I will be your leader Wu, and what I say is the highest order!" Wu Hen said to the people of the Black Butler Corps.

The members of the Black Butler Corps raised their faces one by one, and through the masks, they stared at Wu Hen in horror.

To be honest, they didn't know where this person came from and how he suddenly took over their Black Butler team.

"I know you have a mission to accomplish. I can guarantee that you will bring back what your superiors want, provided that you obey my instructions." Wu Hen said.

"Do as he says." Dai Jing said to her subordinates.

Letting go of Dai Jing, Wu Hen let Dai Jing adjust the troops herself.

Wu Hen was not sure what was behind the digital door. Most of the remaining forty or so people in the Black Butler Unit were injured. If they didn't stop to rest, they would probably become cannon fodder if they went inside.

Guo Hong and Lu Xian returned to Wu Hen.

Lu Xian was a little upset. She didn't understand why Wu Hen wanted to share the precious life beads with these Black Butler members.

More than forty people took away so many fifth-level life beads at once.

"This is for you." Wu Hen also smiled and handed the sixth-level life bead he had just snatched from Chief Zhu to Lu Xian.

Lu Xian was shocked and stopped mumbling. She looked at the sixth-level life bead with surprise and pointed at her face in disbelief: "Are you really giving it to me?"

"Don't argue with those soldiers. You are one of my brave generals now. You deserve a sixth-order life bead. Try this one first. If it doesn't allow you to reach the sixth order, I'll feed you a few more. Once you enter zone L, you will basically have no shortage of sixth-order life beads. Maybe even seventh-order ones." Wu Hen said generously.

"Thank you, thank you!" Lu Xian took it happily, but did not dare to swallow it immediately, fearing that she would not be able to evolve to the sixth level. After all, her experience was not as deep as Guo Hong's.

Wu Hen also gave one to Guo Hong, but Guo Hong gave that one to Lu Xian.

How he distributes the items given to Guo Hong is his own business. I think he also feels that if Lu Xian cannot advance from level five to level six, her survival rate will be very low.

"I'll give you one too." Wu Hen walked up to Dai Jing who was sitting on the ground resting.

"Don't you want a sixth-level life bead?" Dai Jing looked at him with some surprise.

"Aren't you afraid of the erosion of mechanical cells? I have seen your body, and your condition is similar to that young man." Wu Hen said.

"This thing can't buy me off completely, but it can make me obey you temporarily." Dai Jing said.
