I'm not Yingjie

After the assistant entered the lab and the light outside the lab turned from green to red...

The operation has begun.

Chapter 4: Fully Armed

"Your adaptability is truly amazing. The first time you had your limbs replaced, your body had a strong rejection reaction, but the second time, you immediately adapted to the new limbs." Mebius took a few steps back and smiled with satisfaction at his work. "Or was it because you didn't use anesthetics that you skipped the rejection reaction?"

"..."

Lin sat up from the operating table in silence and raised his brand new left hand in front of him to examine it.

Strong, powerful and explosive muscles, thick bones, and even the skin color at the joints is no different. It is exactly the same as his original arm.

As for the original arm whose bones were broken into pieces, it was taken away by assistant Blanca, and it is unknown what will happen to it.

Mebius's technology is truly astonishing. The limb cloning and regeneration technology alone is at least several decades ahead of the world. I wonder how many more biotechnologies she is researching or has already produced results that she has yet to bring out.

Perhaps, she has actually achieved the "immortality" that humans have been pursuing since ancient times.

"Thank you." Lin clenched his fists, and the sense of power he felt made him whisper his thanks.

"No need to thank me. This is not my free contribution. This is a transaction. Don't think you can get away with it with just a thank you." Mebius seemed dissatisfied with his rare honesty. She squinted her eyes and took in Lin's current appearance with her unique green pupils. Her cold eyes seemed as if she was looking at a useful tool.

"I know." Lin's black pupils looked at Mebius carefully through the gaps in the bandages. He exhaled and said, "Dr. Mebius, you can contact me if you need anything in the future."

Mebius's brows twitched: "...Why does this sound so weird?"

Forget it.

Mebius put these unimportant things behind her. She picked up a few syringes filled with green reagents from the table beside her and threw them to Lin. She put on a faint smile and said, "Then the first thing I'll do for you is to help me try these things. They can temporarily improve your body functions and reduce your pain. Now besides your left arm, you have also suffered some serious injuries in other places. Don't think you can get something for nothing and die in this battle without paying."

"……Thanks."

"Tsk, don't say thank you. Besides, they are not without side effects. After the effect wears off, the pain will be returned to you doubled. It's possible that you will die in pain."

"Grateful."

"..."

Lin took the potion and his bloodstained uniform and left. Blanca just came out after fixing Lin's broken arm. She looked at Lin's back as he disappeared around the corner and said with emotion, "This young man's endurance is amazing. The pain connected all his nerves, but his eyes didn't even change the whole time."

"But he is still just an ordinary human being."

For some reason, Mebius murmured something under his breath, with an unknown light in his eyes.

……

"Team Leader Lin!"

Soul and Himiko, who had been waiting in the corridor for a long time, saw Lin walking towards them from the direction of Mobius' laboratory. Soul, who looked a little haggard, waved to him happily and carried a sickle-shaped weapon on his back.

Lin walked over calmly, and Himiko realized that his arm had recovered. She was surprised and asked, "You actually asked Dr. Mobius to operate on you?"

You have to know that Mobius's operating table is like a race conversion machine. When the patient goes on it, he is a human, but when he comes down, he may be an unknown creature that will be recorded in history. Therefore, most people in the Fire Moth are very scared when they hear the name Mobius.

Hun looked at Lin with some concern when he heard this: "Team Leader Lin, your health is…"

"no problem."

Lin shook his head indifferently, then pushed the two people aside and walked towards the R&D department.

There, new equipment was waiting for him.

……

"Forest."

The R&D director's eyes were bloodshot. After the Honkai outbreak, the R&D department worked intensively to adjust new equipment for the soldiers, and they are still tightening the screws until now.

Someone had already informed him of Lin's arrival, and the two of them had become acquaintances after a few interactions. The director of the R&D department helped Lin tailor-make excess weapons that only he could use, and Lin was like a test subject helping him test the performance, so there was no polite talk, and the director knew what Lin was here for.

He handed him Lin's trademark helmet.

"In just a few months, communication technology has been upgraded three times. Others are using lighter equipment, but I know you need this, so I helped you make some technical adjustments and upgrades. I believe only you can handle it." A hint of pride appeared on the tired face of the R&D director.

Lin took the helmet without saying a word and put it on his head without paying attention to the bandage. After fastening it, he activated the system inside the helmet.

A red line swept across his iris, and the interior of the helmet suddenly lit up, returning to the interface he was familiar with.

【Physiological characteristics confirmed】

The feeling of information flowing in my mind came back again, and the information data was more detailed than before, it was like I had analyzed the entire world.

"Your jump, jet, and grappling claws have all been improved accordingly. I've also added some new movable units to the external power armor. You can put whatever you want in there." The head of the R&D department shrugged. "For example, put a photo of your sister in there, and then take it out to show others before the battle."

"..."

Everything the R&D director said could be seen through the visual window of the helmet. Lin received the information through text much faster than he spoke, but he still wanted to say it.

This is like a handover ceremony. The same meaning was meant by giving a sword to one's son in ancient times.

"Of course, these are all conventional ones, and they are definitely not new to you." The head of the R&D department smiled carefreely, "So I will show you some unconventional ones."

"Unconventional?" Information appeared in front of Lin's eyes. He took a quick glance and understood what it was.

New weapons?

Following the director of the R&D department to a warehouse, he pressed a button and took out a new standard rifle from it.

"You should know that the Fire Moth has been researching Honkai energy. This energy source is almost omnipotent after removing the effects of corroding organisms. It is a new direction for the development of weapons. In the short period of time between your trip to Canghai City and the birth of the Third Herrscher, we succeeded."

"There is an electromagnetic field that can form a shield around the Third Herrscher. Conventional weapons have no effect on her at all, so these weapons that can transform and utilize Houkai energy were born."

"Honkai brings us not only destruction, but also perhaps gifts."

Himiko's greatsword and the sickle used by Soul just now were also made based on this technology.

Is the speed of human progress a little too fast?

Lin stared at the rifle for a long time without saying anything. He took it and put it into the weapon slot on his back, along with a new pistol, a grenade, and...

"Knife?"

The last item was a blue and white knife that was slightly longer than a dagger.

There is only a small cutting edge, and the blade is a strange azure blue, as if blue blood is flowing in it.

"This is a weapon that is still in the experimental stage. It is my personal creation. Consider it as compensation for your injury last time." When Lin took the knife, the head of the R&D department had a look of reluctance in his eyes, but he quickly hid it. "This knife is a high-frequency cutting knife developed based on the data of the Second Herrscher. It uses microscopic particle vibrations to cut. Considering the dagger style you often use, I adjusted it to this length."

"..." After scanning the weapon, Lin did not take it directly, but looked up at him.

The head of the R&D department knew what he meant and smiled indifferently: "It doesn't matter. I'm the only one who knows this knife. You can use it as you like. Just don't tell anyone that I'm giving you a special treatment."

"Thank you."

Lin felt that he had said this sentence quite often in the past few days.

"By the way, I'll give you this thing as well. The data has been adjusted, but there's still no guarantee that it will work properly. It's up to you whether you need it or not."

"This is a personal suggestion: don't use it unless it's absolutely necessary. Maybe this time, it will cut off your head."

Lin stared at the watch-like device in front of him.

Is there a chance of death?

He reached out and took the extremely heavy phase shifter.

Chapter 5: The Fifth Squadron, Supporting the Battlefield

"Wow..."

The deadly rainstorm washed away the sins of the world, as fierce and endless as Noah's flood, and the brewing thunderstorm was ready to fall at any time.

Changkong City is like an isolated island in the ocean, filled with darkness, silence and death.

"Oh!"

The sound of breaking wind broke through the sound of rain, and a blood-stained baseball bat tore through the rain curtain and smashed into the dead man's face, fiercely smashing its nose and piercing into its already disabled brain.

A dead man on the right side rushed over howling, but just as he raised his hands, he was kicked in the stomach and flew away.

"Mei! This way!"

The boy's sportswear was soaked by the rain, his once bright white hair stuck to his skin, and his usually handsome appearance seemed a little dishevelled. He swung his baseball bat to shake off the assassins and shouted to the black-haired girl with glasses behind him.

There was no panic on the black-haired girl's face. On the contrary, while the boy was fighting, she was carefully observing these dead warriors whose skin had turned pale.

However, in just a few hours, their world changed drastically. Some of their classmates and teachers died in the ruins, some turned into dead soldiers and attacked them. The quiet and peaceful city turned into a man-eating giant mouth, trying to swallow these two tiny humans in the rainstorm.

In the end what happened?

Kevin was screaming in his heart, hoping that someone could answer his questions.

But he couldn't break down, not before Mei was saved.

Kevin took Mei's hand and hid in a convenience store. He locked the door and slid down the wall slowly, breathing heavily.

"Mei...are you okay?"

Kevin's excellent physical fitness allowed him to survive the first wave of the collapse, while his talent for fighting allowed him to survive the attacks of the assassins.

But Mei's physical fitness is far inferior to Kevin's, so he must find a place to rest after running for a distance. If he stays in the same place, the zombies will attack in groups as if they are equipped with sensor radars.

"Well... I'm fine." Mei's pale face was obviously not as relaxed as she said. She sat on the ground and wiped her rain-stained glasses with a tissue on the shelf. "Kevin, you don't have to worry about me..."

Before he finished speaking, Kevin fiercely retorted: "How could I ignore you!"

If he was told to ignore Mei, what would be the point of him escaping? How could he face Lin?

Kevin walked to the counter, picked up the phone and dialed, but soon the busy tone made him put down the receiver helplessly: "Can't you call here?"

Mei glanced at the flashes of lightning in the clouds outside the window and said calmly, "It's the electromagnetic field."

"what?"

"nothing."

Kevin didn't understand the principle, but Mei knew everything about this big boy who was devoted to her. It was thanks to someone who had once tirelessly introduced it to her that she even knew which hand Kevin used to wipe his butt when he went to the toilet, and even how many pieces of paper he used.

So Mei never knew why Kevin liked her, a boring nerd whose field had nothing to do with him.

but……

"Mei, don't worry, I will definitely take you out." Kevin saw Mei looking at him, so he forced himself to smile, which he thought was sunny, to encourage her.

His handsome face, covered in mud and rain, was filled with fatigue, but his eyes were burning with a fire that could not be extinguished by rain.

Mei couldn't tell what kind of flame it was. No, for a rational person like her, she would express it in such an emotional way, which was beyond her expectation.

She analyzed the environment and calculated the probability of escape. The more she calculated, the smaller the number became.

But Mei didn't know why, this time she didn't want to believe the numbers she calculated.

"Well, I believe you." Mei responded with a faint smile.

Kevin also smiled widely.

"howl----"

A deafening roar interrupted their brief warmth and froze Kevin's smile.

The roar came from very close.

As if within reach.

……

"There is another place in Changkong City where the Honkai energy value is rising rapidly!"

"500HW, 600HW, 700HW... and it's still increasing! This location is less than ten kilometers away from the Herrscher!"

In the temporary combat department of the Fire Moth in Changkong City, the monitoring personnel saw that the terrifying Honkai energy curve had reached another peak. With trembling fingers, they sent this data and coordinates to the channel, then swallowed their saliva and reported: "This is the monitoring department. The companion Honkai beast of the Third Herrscher has also been born. The current detected value has exceeded the upper-level Honkai beast of the second Honkai, and is tentatively set to..."

"Emperor-level Honkai beast."

This is undoubtedly another bad news.

Currently, all teams are struggling in this rainstorm with extremely low visibility and unstable signals. Even though new weapons and armor have greatly improved the combat effectiveness of the combatants, the chaotic electromagnetic field has caused almost all electronic equipment to malfunction. In the dark rain, dead soldiers and Honkai beasts may rush out at any time to launch fatal attacks.

Up to now, the battle has been going on for two hours, but no team has arrived at the location of the Third Herrscher. The two closest teams are Hen's and Alicia's teams. In the process, the number of soldiers who were killed or lost contact due to the heavy rain has almost reached one-fifth.

The team's own monitoring equipment malfunctioned, so everything had to be monitored and reported through the central monitoring department, a method that was terribly inefficient.

Now, another ferocious beast, whose true identity is still unknown, has been released into this monster hunting ground.
