Chapter 488: Test Subject

“The Blood Descendant corpses under the care of Baron Graves maintain most of their strength from when they were alive… why is this so?”

The smile on the Count’s face completely stiffened.

The position of leaning on the lounger had changed to standing, scrutinising the Ghoul Corps that entirely restrained the Blood Descendants… a strange Ghoul group he had never seen before.

…

Lord Duilio Stuart, the once Giant Ghoul, was also dedicated to researching ghouls, but his research mainly focused on quantity.

The Swollen Doctor, who was primarily in charge of this project, completely mastered the technology of ‘reproduction’ and ‘rapid cultivation’.

As soon as Han Dong took over, he immediately made adjustments to the laboratory.

Although Han Dong also wanted to establish an alchemy laboratory and make a great deal of money, after learning that Dumps could earn tens of thousands of copper coins with a simple move of his fingers, Han Dong’s idea of making money was considerably weakened.

At the same time.

Having learned some rules of the “Land Deed”, Han Dong also wanted to consolidate and enhance the overall foundation and strength of the manor.

It is not very suitable for a manor like Scarlet Manor to recruit troops externally…

Stuart Manor corresponds to just a ‘small land deed’, which also has its upper limit regulations; for example, the manor can only accommodate low-rank demons at most, and the number cannot exceed eight.

If Han Dong wanted to enhance the foundation and strength of the manor, he could only take the ‘experiment’ route.

The Swollen Doctor was an excellent breakthrough.

…

Han Dong, staring at the battlefield from within, could not help but show a manic smile as the Ghoul Army crushed the Blood Descendants with an overwhelming advantage.

“These aren’t just inferior ghouls… they’re all ghouls cultivated from the ‘best embryos’ and have somewhat exceeded the concept of ghouls to a certain extent.”

From the occupation of the manor up to now, Han Dong and the Swollen Doctor have together discussed and made a total of three optimizations to the ghouls.

Firstly. In the film “Strange Tales”, Han Dong extracted the ‘death-row prisoner genes’ and successfully implanted them into embryos, demonstrating them as dominant traits. The ghouls derived from this process possess the superhuman strength and instinctive fighting skills of death-row prisoners.

The ghouls in the white battlefield are completely different from the wild graveyard evils that everyone imagines.

Dodging, parrying, and counterattacking at the edge, almost every ghoul masters these basic fighting skills and can use them in combat.

Some ghouls that retain claws, each strike is like that of a rifleman, rapidly stabbing with their claws, coupled with various kicks to strike in sync, quickly tearing apart the target.

There are also some ghouls that look like humans, even their forward posture is ‘bipedal walking’.

In combat, they display exceptional punching skills, continuous stabs, swings, or straight punches, applied to the Blood Descendants from various directions.

This type of punching ghoul mutates their claws into a layer that wraps around their fists, enhancing punch striking power and destructiveness.

They can change their strike direction by sliding their bodies.

Secondly. Combined the slight enhancement effects brought by the G-virus and the Parasitic Body in the “Clown Revival”.

Fully enhancing the ghouls’ ‘regeneration’ and ‘body function’, allowing them to maximise the combat skills contained within their bodies.

Injuries to the tendons, blood vessels, and muscles can heal rapidly, without affecting their actions at all.

They can engage in extended carnage on the battlefield.

Thirdly…

The fundamental reason, Han Dong believes, that the Ghoul Army can directly confront the Blood Descendants.

In the ruins of the manor, the Swollen Doctor found a few remnants of the Giant Ghoul… The structure of the [M.O.] metal carcass was successfully extracted by the doctor.

Special alloy + steam technology + flesh integration technology without rejection.

Swollen Doctor integrated such a structure into his brain, achieving a comprehensive enhancement.

Han Dong raised a question.

Is it possible to try to replicate this ‘metal skeletal structure’, and graft it onto the ghouls inside the culture capsule?

If possible, the ghouls would all have an internal drive structure, thereby creating a kind of ‘imitation of a giant Ghoul’.

With the financial support from Dumps, Han Dong bought a batch of alloys and mini steam hydraulic devices in the Holy City, handed them over to Swollen Doctor for research, then took the research report to the Mechanical Series, and discussed it with his former partner, Koslin from the Cass group.

In the end, a ‘metal skeletal structure’ suitable for ghouls was researched, the imitation rate reached about 70%, and it could be successfully implanted into the bodies of ghouls.

After these three modifications were made.

Mass production plan was achieved in about two months, and Han Dong demanded a selection, with the disqualified ghouls to be discarded directly.

…

“How does it feel, my lord Messenger?”

“Hmm, at least the first battle won’t be a problem… Basically, I can disrupt all of the Count’s plans.

The pressure brought by the ghoul corps is also within my expectation, after all, I have devoted a lot of energy to this matter.”

Swollen Doctor continued, “However, it’s still quite strenuous to use this inferior race as core troops… When do you plan to let the ‘key creatures’ in the laboratory go to battle?

I can’t wait to take them into battle myself.

Moreover, I myself have been in the laboratory too long, and I am ready to exercise my brain… I might be able to collect some blood descendant’s life suitable for the experiment

If I can get a high-purity “Blood Brew,” it would be even better.”

“Don’t worry… the Count hasn’t used his ‘Pet Collection Room’ yet. When I need you to appear, I will naturally notify you. For this period of time, you just collect data underground.”

“Okay.”

The one who came to the surface to communicate with Han Dong was nothing more than a specific ‘communication ghoul’ for the Swollen Doctor.

Doctor himself needs to supervise the movement of the experimental subjects in the laboratory all the time, as well as the changes in various indicators of their bodies during the battle, so as to further optimize them after the battle.

Naodos and its ghoul army are slaughtering on the battlefield.

It once again shocked Lucius and the others, even Dumps was surprised, couldn’t imagine Han Dong could enhance this low-rank evil to this level through experimental means.

In the later stages of the battle, these ghouls could even fight evenly with a hundred fully armed elite blood descendants sent by the Scarlet Manor, and then suppress them comprehensively with their numerical advantage.

Once the target loses the ability to act.

The instinct of the ghoul will be triggered, instantly ‘eliminating’ the corpse completely.

Just then, Han Dong began to issue orders.

“Elder Miz Crow, get ready to use the secret life magic against Baron Graves… with you taking the lead, thirteen crowmen working together should be able to severely injure, or even kill the enemy.”

“Okay!”

The target for Han Dong to send Miz Crow is this point.

The life-series black magic restrains this Baron Graves who controls the Dead.

“Two Elders, secretly enter the war zone…if there are any changes, immediately send Elder Miz Crow back.”

The two crowman elders who tend to be wind attribute immediately set off.

Han Dong held the staff in both hands, looking at the caretaker inside the Scarlet Manor.

“Count, how are you going to handle this situation?”
