Chapter 289

The sticky meat paste and blood instantly exploded in all directions.

"Spiritual power, it works."

And the effect is very good.

He exhaled and blew out the blue flame on his finger.

As a power exchanged from the system, the spiritual power is surprisingly effective against ghouls.

In terms of lethality, it is even better than simple silver items.

Chapter 359: Opponents with unknown intentions

A few light bullets with spiritual power attached to them killed the remaining ghouls.

After almost understanding the weaknesses, these guys are no longer valuable.

Anyway, if you want, just create them again... After all, they are not that precious.

Rather than leaving them there to smell and disgust, and even worrying about the troubles that will come out after the people under your command are bitten, it is better to solve them simply and neatly.

Even though they are much better than zombies in the conventional sense in terms of immortality, their shortcomings are also extremely obvious.

Put aside the silver objects and sunlight, which are the two deadly items that will kill you if you touch them, and then there is the so-called infectiousness.

Compared with the virus infection in ordinary science fiction movies, the spread of these ghouls is more like... a curse.

At least Lin Qiao couldn't find any other suitable words for a while.

In his research on them, he did not find the existence of viruses or parasites in these ghouls.

Except that the bacteria in their mouths exceed the normal people and they can move, they are not much different from ordinary corpses in the morgue.

Even ordinary people will not become ghouls even if they are bitten. They just need to apply some iodine to prevent the wound from being infected...

But if they die from it, that's another matter.

Based on the results so far, a simple bite will not turn them into ghouls.

Only individuals who have died before the wound is completely healed, and those who have eaten their flesh and blood shortly after death, will change.

To be honest, this really makes Lin Qiao, who has always believed in science, feel a little outrageous.

But apart from this, these guys seem to be just like that.

There is no research value.

There is no practical value.

After all, under the premise of limited infectious power and the fatal weakness of dying in the light, it is unlikely to be developed into a useful war weapon.

In fact, it is not as good as the protogastric organisms.

At least with several tubes of protogastric virus fluid brought from the previous world, as long as Lin Qiao wants, she can pour it directly into the port and start a biochemical war at any time.

And protogastric organisms are much stronger than ghouls in terms of destructiveness and infectiousness.

Especially since there are no gnats in this world - the sky is high and the birds fly freely.

It is estimated that it will not be long before the humans in this world can see a sea full of red-eyed monsters... But these are all off-topic.

Compared with the ghouls, which are scarce and can only be used to verify some conjectures, the real attention should be paid to vampires like John and Nigella.

Or more accurately, their masters.

...

Back to the small clinic in Heywood.

Lin Qiao sat in the office hidden in the dark on the third floor, without saying a word.

On the table in front of him, there were several piles of paper documents, with dense numbers and a lot of confusing terms.

That was the result report of the slice analysis of John and Nigella by Arasaka's biological laboratory, as well as a series of other experiments.

How to say it...

Although it looks complicated, it can actually be summarized in three words.

——Not human.

"Vampire... artificial vampire..."

He looked down at the test report on the two vampires again.

Lin Qiao fell back, his legs on the desk, and his body leaned on the cushion of the chair.

In various senses, things are a bit troublesome...

His thoughts gradually drifted to an animation he had watched before crossing over - Hellsing.

Or it is also called "The Royal Anglican Knights."

A very old animation with a bloody theme based on vampires.

It was also the ability of the opponent that he could determine after reading his memory.

In short, I won't say anything too specific.

If you ask Lin Qiao what impression he has of the vampires in the series, it is that they are hard to kill.

So damn hard to kill!

The vampires in the series cannot even be said to be individual lives, but rather a collection of a group of life forms fused together.

Blood is the currency of the soul, so sucking a person's blood is equivalent to occupying his soul and making him a member of his dead river.

——And this is a vampire.

Translated into human language, it is equivalent to eating a few people to have a few resurrection coins.

Like Acardo in the play, he has millions of lives in his body...

This is fucking a bit shameless!

Even if the vampires in this series have very poor defense, any hot weapon can break through the defense, but it doesn't matter if they have this ability to defend.

And not to mention that he pulled people from the dead river and then used the other party's abilities.

After three worlds, how many lives are in the other party's body, and how many powerful beings are stored in his body...

Lin Qiao feels a headache just thinking about these questions.

This is not to mention the vampire's original ability to mist, transform, summon familiars, and the trouble caused by artificial vampires.

Compared to the original artificial vampires, they were obviously strengthened.

Oh, by the way, speaking of this, there is one more bad thing.

That is, Lin Qiao did not find the location of the other traverser and the information about his faction in Nigella's memory.

There are several obvious "fragmented" traces in his memory.

I think it should have been deleted.

"Trouble..."

Up to now, most of his methods are based on the fact that the other party has only one life...

I didn't expect that there would be so many resurrection coins like this.

And he doesn't know how to seal things.

"So the only way is to force him to release the 'Dead River'?"

During the release of the Dead River, the life absorbed by the vampire will be released completely-and this is also his strongest and weakest moment.

As long as he can kill him with lightning speed, then the winner will definitely be him.

——The only problem is, how can I force the other party to use this trick?

Fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair.

The office fell into a long silence.

Because there was no emotion, even if the situation became a bit tricky, Lin Qiao did not feel upset.

"But then again, what is the purpose of him sending these two guys to Night City?"

After a long silence, Lin Qiao suddenly thought of this.

Judging from the fact that the other party sent these two artificial vampires to inquire about Lucy's whereabouts and a series of other things, his purpose is undoubtedly to test whether the "plot" is still developing according to the original progress.

And to put it more bluntly, it is to infer whether he, as the opponent, is in Night City.

But the question is what is the reason for his test?

Wanting to kill him and get higher system points is one aspect.

But after Lin Qiao looked for him for several years, he could not find him no matter what, and now he is looking for him...

It's not that it's impossible, but it feels a bit weird when you think about it.

And the orders he gave to these two agricultural tools are also a bit interesting.

In fact, to be honest, the other party doesn't want to meet him in Night City.

His goal is to monopolize Night City, or to get something inside.

"But what does he want?"

Pinching his chin, Lin Qiao looked at the holographic map of Night City projected on the desk beside him.

If this memory is not false, then this is a bit weird.

What is attracting him, and why can he even throw aside the high reward given by the system?

Chapter 360 The Living King of Hell is about to arrive at his loyal Night City

I can't figure it out, I can't figure it out at all.

At least in the past few years of living in Night City, Lin Qiao is very sure that there should be nothing or existence that meets the above description here.

And even if it is a process of elimination, after eliminating all the impossibilities... it seems that there is nothing left.

Could it be that this unlucky game has some supernatural ghosts in the future, such as Easter egg props like infinite gloves, or DLC?

At present, this is the only possibility.

But whether or not I can figure this out, I must improve my strategy next.

At least before finding a way to force the other party to open the dead river, the radical search method in the past must be stopped.

Otherwise, even if the other party's position is found, the final result is nothing more than mutual torture-not to mention that the other party's strength is not necessarily worse than his.

"So the person in a disadvantageous situation is me..."

Lin Qiao sighed, it was a terrible situation.

But no matter what, the preparations should be made-just in case, the first thing is to store enough silver bullets.

Lest a large-scale conflict break out one day in the future, the group of Arasaka soldiers under his command can only scrape the artificial vampires and ghouls on the opposite side.

Another thing is to catch more scavengers, speed up the manufacturing progress of the slammer, and strive to draw out the silver full bottle as soon as possible... Make it.

Of course, these tasks should be the responsibility of Abernathy... As the director of the special operations team and the nominal highest person in charge, he must take some responsibility, right?

And not long after Lin Qiao assigned the task to his boss, his cell phone rang.

Although mobile phones have been eliminated as early as the beginning of this century, people now prefer to use simple and fast brain voice.

But who can blame Lin Qiao for not being able to have an artificial body in her body?

And it’s too troublesome to mimic... and the software is too troublesome.

So he simply modified the original build phone.

The caller was an old acquaintance who was familiar but hadn’t contacted for a while - Jack Wells.

“Hi, K, are you home?”

“Yes, what’s the matter?”

“I have something to ask you... It’s urgent.”
