Why Nash had information on the Night Wandering Ghost camp, Lille could only assume that this guy also wanted to find a chance to betray his boss, Bowen.
The Chaotic Blade Association was such an organization without a sense of loyalty, and the Night Wandering Ghosts were the most brutal gathering of deceivers, rapists, and murderers among them.
Aside from robbery, murder, rape, and theft, which could bring them a bit of fun and unity, any slight disturbance reminded them of one principle:
A dead compatriot is better than a dead self.
At this moment, Bowen definitely didnât know the news that both Nash and the Military Technology squad were completely wiped out.
If they didnât charge at the Night Wandering Ghosts now, they might never find them laterâfinding wanderers in Evil Land was hard enough for those with military technology, and finding even a few Night Wandering Ghosts was more troublesome.
The cement factory wasnât too far from here, about a two-hour drive,
On the car, Lille began to explain their next target of action:
Lille, "Listen up, the data left by Nash contains the coordinates of the Night Wandering Ghost camp, and their boss, Bowen, is there now."
Lille, "If we take out this stronghold, theyâll be like scattered sand, and without the help of the Night Wandering Ghosts, it will be even harder for those with Military Technology to find Wanderers in Evil Land."
Sol, "But the blockade will still continueâbad news, the supplies at the Stone Ridge Mountain camp are very limited, only enough for two days."
Lille, "That makes it even more crucial to strike at this position. Bowen likely planned from the start to use Nash as bait and a safety measure, naturally he wouldnât leave much supply.
There might be a lot of military-grade equipment in the cement factory, Man, you lead us, and Adkaduo still provides fire support from outside."
Man, "Understood."
Cedric, "Arenât we going in?"
Lille, "Not the first one to go inâIn confined spaces, the effectiveness of advanced prosthetics dramatically increases, and who can say for sure what kind of equipment these madmen from Military Technology have been equipped with."
Lille, "And you have an even more important task: Military Technology may dispatch more armed units, you need to ambush them just like we did earlier."
Sol, "Will that still work?"
Lille, "Good question, I canât guarantee thatâbut I can guarantee, the effectiveness of every shell we leave behind today will diminish over time.
The current Commander from Military Technology in charge of the operation is not very experienced, but that doesnât mean Military Technology is all academics.
Therefore, to maximize the utility of this batch of arms, we need to go all out today."
As for whether it is 100% useful or whether people will die...
Asking those questions is pointless, we all know the score.
Cedric, "Sol, stop fucking around so much, how come after all these years you still sound like a woman? Continue, letâs sort out how to kill those old bastards."
Lille, "...thatâs it, your most important task is to clear the buildingâs perimeter, clearing any reinforcements that come with your ammunition.
Missiles, hand grenades, ammunition, donât skimp; shoot on sight, we donât need captives."
While saying this, Lille was assembling pilfered biological material on the front passenger seat.
It was a glass jar, floating inside was a small section of bone that looked darker than normal bones, leaning towards a dark green color.
And its surface was covered with reptilian muscles that significantly differed from human muscle morphologyâbig and thick.
Several prosthetic components, used more for monitoring biomolecules and body state, were wedged around the bone and muscles, separated by a molecular sieve.
Clearly, this section of the bone was completely immersed in nutrient solution and Lizard Potion.
After assembling another component, Lille passed an electric current through itâ
The muscle violently contracted, exhibiting a strength far exceeding the power of mammalian muscles of the same volume, and the bones perfectly withstood this force.
The driver, V, frowned at this scene, "What is this, looks freakishly abnormal."
"Jackâs bones and musclesâknow what a Rage Component is?"
Rage Components were the first generation of integrated enhancement components that embodied early prosthetic technologies like hormone control, pain editing, and biological stimulation enhancement.
By entirely controlling and stimulating the implant recipientâs physiological level directly, it eliminates pain, fear, joy, and other unnecessary emotions during combat.
Even if ordinary people were fitted with full-body titanium alloy bones, they would still feel pain under stress and impact, resulting in retreating emotions, but with this device, unless your bones break, you wouldnât feel you were in danger.
In this state, the biopotential of the implanters was greatly released, and the performance of the prosthetics themselves was pushed to the limitsâ
Thanks to this characteristic, powerful vanguard units in the early battlefields liked to equip this stuff.
However, this was also the most likely to cause cyberpsychosis amongst integrated enhancement components.
V nodded, "Of course I know, the cyberpsychosis plug-ins that the company frantically produced before.
Only madmen and perverts would equip themselves with such things. Since Si Anweisitan came along, when there was a choice, no one would choose that."
"Iâm trying to create a type of berserk component."
Human consciousness mostly depends on the state of brain activity, and Lizard Potion is no exception.
If one could control the path of Lizard Potion in the circulatory system, making it affect the brain as little as possible, could it eliminate the berserk effects brought on by the Lizard Potion?
Currently, inserting a molecular sieve at each node of the circulatory systems seemed fully capable of controlling the spread of pharmaceutical effects.
The operation was not difficult; it merely required installing some components on the joints or other implants.
Mutated cells could also be monitored and controlled in their flow using a technique called cell adaptation, minimising their chances of reaching the brain.
This mode had an advantage over traditional berserk components: Anti-lizard Potion could neutralize all residual effects at once.
Compared to the complex hormone control method of berserk components, this simple and crude "emergency stop" mechanism was more beneficial for prosthetic control.
All the equipment needed to achieve these technical means had been snatched from the junkyardâ
Cell Adaptor, Molecular Sieve, Molecular Sieve Editor, Advanced DNA Real-Time Monitoring Equipment...
All were in hand.
Although the equipment patched together had a somewhat low "good product rate," Lille was only considering making custom components for Jack, adding a few more safety valves would suffice.
V, upon hearing Lilleâs explanation, clicked his tongue in amazementâcustom prosthetics indeed!
"This gadget looks green, just like the last thing you rigged for yourself?"
"Pretty much, a derivative product."
"Thatâs awesome, can I use it?"
"Technically yes, but itâs not necessary."
"Are you looking down on me?"
"Can you think?" Lille said irritably, "Berserk components and Si Anweisitan conflict!"
V was just about to object to Lilleâs previous comment when he calmed down after hearing the explanationâindeed.
"I know, I just wanted to see if you knew that."
"...You can fool yourself, but donât fool your buddyâI know youâre brainless, buddy doesnât mind."
Jackâs body was still equipped with two impressive gorilla arms; in other prosthetics that were not as strong, those arms couldnât reach full power.
The pharmaceutical effects would start from the legs, enhancing bone and muscle strength from the bottom up, which also helped the drug effects to dissipate before reaching the brain.
Thatâs why Jack was the first choice for implanting the berserk component.
The Lizard Potion specifically adapted for Jack was ready, fully validated theoretically, just missing a tailor-made engineering customizationâ
"Jack, youâre taking the lead in this raidâattach all the magnetic components, use them as needed."
"Alrightâjust picked up this gun, really nice, heh."
V rolled his eyes, "Poor Jack, he still doesnât know heâs about to become Evil Burger Kingâs first experimental subject..."
"Thatâs enough, there will come a day when youâll beg me to swap your prosthetics."
"Hey Lilleâhavenât you forgotten you still owe me 700,000? By the way, where did you suddenly pull out so much money this time?
I need to calculate properly..."
Lille raised his head to tactically interrupt, "See the cement factory! Everyone, stay sharp!"
