Mechanical Flesh

The technology of the new era has solved many problems that could not be solved in the old era, but some problems are still insurmountable obstacles, such as gene stability.

Genetic stability is closely related to the probability of an ability user's awakening ability, but even the most cutting-edge genetic medicine can't improve the ability person's genetic stability.

To some extent, genetic stability is an important parameter to measure the talent of a capable person.

Pollution index has a greater impact on ability users.

Being polluted means that the life span is reduced, the ability is easy to get out of control, and it means various defects.

Although the sanctuary has decontamination surgery, this kind of surgery is not only expensive, but also reduces the genetic stability of the capable person to a certain extent.

So it's not very practical.

The wilderness of the new era is full of radiation pollution of various energies. The wilderness hunters who live in the wilderness must have accumulated a large amount of pollution in their bodies.

The residents of the shelter have a natural advantage in this regard. The shelter has various radiation filtering devices that can protect them from being polluted by energy radiation.

Therefore, being transferred to work in the wilderness stronghold means exile for most of the shelter residents.

Seeing Kou Haitao who was taking the test one by one, Sun Jia gradually became anxious.

Although Sun Jia didn't know Qing, he also vaguely guessed that Qing most likely came from the shelter and was Ke Shoulin's other backup.

Since Ke Shoulin sent Qing out, as a hole card to block Qi Yuan, he must have done these two tests in advance.

Although Qi Yuan is extremely talented, it is almost impossible to close the score gap with Qing through these two tests, and it is very likely that Qing will continue to widen the score gap.

The gap of four points is already very large. If the difference in points continues to widen, even if there is an additional assessment item for the assistant researcher's assessment, it will be difficult for Qi Yuan's total score to catch up with Qing.

If the disturbed test of will was a serious injury to Qi Yuan, then this probably came from Qing of the Sanctuary, and it was most likely Qi Yuan's fatal blow.

Once the point difference between the two sides widens to ten points, even if Qi Yuan gets a full score in the final additional test, it is impossible to surpass Qing.

Kou Haitao walked up to Qi Yuan,

Just as he was about to test, he suddenly stopped.

"Don't worry, wait until I finish testing the others, and then you will test it!" Kou Haitao said.

Sun Jia's complexion sank, knowing that this was what Kou Haitao was going to explain to Tan Qiu. There was no strict standard for scoring these two tests. As the chief examiner, Kou Haitao had absolute authority. It cannot be said that he made a mistake.

Of course, Kou Haitao would not do that kind of self-destructive thing for Qi Yuan, but if he gave Qi Yuan a point in each project, even he would not be able to find fault.

It's not much to give Qi Yuan two more points, but if he gives Qing two less points, there will be a difference of four points every time.

The reason why Kou Haitao left Qi Yuan at the end was obviously to wait for Qing's test results before making the final decision!

Soon, all the others were tested, except Qi Yuan and Qing who did not carry out the test.

Kou Haitao opened the petri dish and stood in front of Qing.

"I don't care who is behind you, or what your purpose of coming here is, but this is my assessment, whoever dares to destroy it, I will make him pay the price!"

Faced with Kou Haitao's threat, Qing suddenly laughed.

"Are you targeting me?"

"I'm not right about people!" Kou Haitao said.

"Then why is Pei Zongyan okay? He broke your rules, but he didn't pay any price."

Qing seemed full of confidence, not at all afraid because the person in front of him was a Tier 4 mechanic far stronger than himself.

Qing's arrogance towards Kou Haitao made Sun Jia more sure that he was from the war department.

In the sanctuary, the status of the crisis management department was not high. Compared with the most powerful war department and the biological and mechanical research laboratory with aloof status, it was hardly on the same level.

Therefore, people in the war department have a natural sense of superiority when facing the staff of the crisis management department. A P3 in the war department usually looks down at a P3 in the crisis management department, looks down at a P4 in the crisis management department, and looks up at the crisis management department. Tube P5.

This was the embarrassing position of the Risk Management Department in the Black Steel Shelter, and it was also the reason why Tan Qiu and Ke Shoulin dared to blatantly assess the Cypriots this time, and the higher authorities hadn't rejected them yet.

Facing Qing's arrogance, Kou Haitao just said indifferently:

"Of course Pei Zongyan will pay the price. If you want to go to the wilderness with him to maintain the nuclear reactor, you can continue to break the rules and see how much Ke Shoulin is willing to pay to protect you!"

Qing smiled and stopped talking, Kou Haitao is P4 after all.

If a head-on conflict really broke out, the only one who would suffer would be himself, and although the crisis management department was weak, it was still a huge department. Ke Shoulin could influence the crisis management department to a certain extent, but it was impossible for him to be the head of the crisis management department directly.

Qing stretched out his right hand, and squeezed a drop of blood from between his fingers into the petri dish.

The bright red blood slowly spread.

Compared with other wild hunters, Qing's blood has not changed significantly. Although the color has slightly deepened, it is obviously much lighter than other people's deep red and almost black color, which means that his blood There is not much pollution accumulated in the body.

In addition to the change in color, the shape of the culture medium is also obviously different from others. Although the culture medium shrinks slightly as the blood infiltrates, the shrinkage is not obvious until the culture medium finally stops creeping. However, it shrunk in a circle. Compared with the strange shapes of other people, Qing's culture medium was the most complete.

Qing Xiao looked at Kou Haitao and waited for him to score. Although the examiner had some discretion, he could not act recklessly, especially with Pei Zongyan watching.

Pei Zongyan also laughed. According to the normal scoring standards, Qing's genetic stability index and pollution index should be able to score nine points, even if Kou Haitao deliberately suppressed the points, he could only score eight points at most.

From previous tests, the wilderness refugees scored around 12 points in these two tests. Few people can break through the high score. Even if Kou Haitao suppressed Qing's score to 16 points, it is still a high score that the wilderness hunters can't match. point.

And Kou Haitao might not dare to do this!

In these two tests, Qing's score is definitely higher than Qi Yuan's, even if his score is lowered. Even if he is only two points higher, as long as he adds the previous four points ahead, it will be a huge gap of six points.

This means that Qing has almost sealed the victory. How many points can Qi Yuan, a wilderness refugee, score for the last additional test item?

Qi Yuan's wish to make a comeback in the additional test items is completely a dream.

Although Kou Haitao wants to give Tan Qiu an explanation, but the matter has come to this point, Qi Yuan's chance of being eliminated has become a foregone conclusion, and he may not continue to secretly give Qi Yuan a hard time.

If he continued to help Qi Yuan secretly, but Qi Yuan was still eliminated, then Kou Haitao would face a lose-lose outcome of offending Tan Qiu and Ke Shoulin at the same time.

Although Kou Haitao is very principled, as long as he is not a fool, he should know how to make a choice at this time.

Kou Haitao took a deep look at Qing, and after experiencing some ideological struggle, he finally chose to surrender to reality.

"Gene stability, 9 points! Pollution index, 9 points!" Kou Haitao calmly reported Qing's test score without choosing to score.

Qing grinned, and Sun Jia also laughed. If it weren't for Kou Haitao's face, the two could hardly help laughing out loud.

"It's over!"

Sun Jia's face was livid, Kou Haitao had already made a decision, he did not choose to continue to support Qi Yuan, and without his support, Qi Yuan lost the last possibility of overtaking.

This combination punch that Pei Zongyan punched under his nose almost completely cut off Qi Yuan's hope, and also cut off his own hope.

Although Qi Yuan could still choose a position in the Wilderness Exploration Department to make up for it, but Mo Sheng happened to be recovering from his injuries during this period, and refused to pay attention to a third-level wilderness hunter.

Without Mo Sheng's support, and without the home field advantage of the Biological and Mechanical Research Laboratory, even Tan Qiu couldn't stop Ke Shoulin and Feng Qian from joining forces.

Sun Jia glanced at Qi Yuan, and suddenly found that Qi Yuan, who should be desperate the most, turned out to be as usual, with no trace of anger or fear on his face.

He still has the cards to come back?

Or have you been terrified by this hopeless situation?

Tan Qiu gave Qi Yuan the greatest trust. Although Sun Jia wanted to tell himself that Tan Qiu seldom made mistakes in such matters, but this time he couldn't convince himself to continue to trust Qi Yuan.

In this situation, even if he is the chief examiner, he can't help Qi Yuan to make a comeback.

Kou Haitao walked up to Qi Yuan with the petri dish, and looked at the young man with calm eyes.

His talent was so strong that he was surprised, and with Tan Qiu's and Ling You's protection, Qi Yuan's take-off was almost in sight, but Ke Shoulin and Feng Gan's intervention abruptly killed Qi Yuan's future.

"I'm sorry, I tried my best!" Kou Haitao sighed.

Qi Yuan smiled and asked, "Do you believe in miracles?"

"A miracle?" Kou Haitao shook his head.

"Although I have also witnessed the birth of miracles, miracles never favor wilderness refugees. Even Mo Sheng relied on his own strength to step up step by step."

While squeezing a drop of blood from between his fingers, Qi Yuan said silently in his heart: The following is the moment to witness the miracle!

The blood dripped, and the dark red color spread slowly like a halo of water. That wisp of bright red, like cinnabar, did not fade for a long time, and the culture medium like solid sol did not move at all, as if it had been Frozen in general.

This is!

On Kou Haitao's face, there was a bit of pity at first, but gradually the expression on his face became dull, and a trace of unbelievable shock began to appear in his eyes.

Qi Yuan's blood dripped in, why didn't it trigger any reaction?

Could it be that the culture medium is broken?

As long as there is a trace of pollution in the dripped blood, the color of the blood will become darker, just like Qing. Although the pollution in his body is very weak, the color of the blood has also changed.

Kou Haitao glanced at the time, half a minute had passed since Qi Yuan's blood dripped into the time, but the color was still as bright red as before.

If it's not that the culture medium is broken, then there is no trace of pollutants in Qi Yuan's blood system.

But how is this possible?

Even though the shelter has all kinds of pollution radiation purification devices, they can enjoy pollution-free water resources and food without pollution, but the pollution in the air cannot be completely purified.

This is also the reason why there will be a slight accumulation of pollution in the body of the residents of the shelter.

Qi Yuan is a resident of the wilderness, his food, clothing, housing and transportation will inevitably be contaminated with radiation pollution, how could there be no pollution accumulated in his body.

Although the Sanctuary also has "clean" humans like Qi Yuan, those people are all new humans.

The bodies of some new humans have the ability to automatically purify pollution, so they can make their bodies "clean" without a trace of pollution.

How did Qi Yuan do it?

Is he a newcomer too?

Kou Haitao was taken aback, feeling as if he had come into contact with some secret unintentionally.

Although there are no voices against the new humans in the sanctuary, it doesn't mean that everyone is willing to accept the existence of the new humans, it's just that the plan of the new humans has been changed from open to dark, from public promotion to covert infiltration. .

Residents in ordinary shelters cannot access another dimension, and the confrontation between new humans and old humans has never subsided.

Qi Yuan's blood is "clean" and has various powerful non-standard abilities, which reminds Kou Haitao of certain rumors about new humans.

Could it be that Qi Yuan's true identity is a new human being?

Could it be that the root of this dispute is not because of Qi Yuan's powerful talent, but because of Qi Yuan's new human identity?

However, why would a new human being with such perfect talent end up in the wilderness?

Kou Haitao couldn't figure it out. If Tanqiu and Kou Haitao's wrestling was a small-scale battle, then the struggle of the new humans was a large-scale war.

The strength of the fourth-order walker mechanic can barely remain neutral in the battle between Tan Qiu and Kou Haitao, but he is absolutely not qualified to be involved in the war of new humans.

As long as he thinks that Qi Yuan may be a new human being, Kou Haitao's heart can't help but twitch!

A minute passed, and the blood in the petri dish had spread to the entire culture medium. Although the color had faded a lot, there was no trace of dark color, which meant that Qi Yuan's blood was not polluted in any way.

In addition, the alienation medium that turned light red did not change in shape, which meant that Qi Yuan's genes were not affected by the alienation medium, and still maintained a strong stability.

It is absolutely impossible for an ability user living in the wilderness to possess these two characteristics at the same time!

Kou Haitao has already found the answer in his heart, Qi Yuan is a new human being!

The struggle of the new humans has turned from bright to dark, avoiding the eyes of most of the residents of the shelter, but Kou Haitao can still feel that the new humans have slowly gained the upper hand. You can see it.

Kou Haitao took a deep look at Qi Yuan, is this the miracle you mentioned?

After a few seconds of silence, Kou Haitao's right hand flashed a blue light, and a burst of destructive high-temperature energy instantly poured into the petri dish, destroying all the blood, culture medium, and petri dish inside.

"Gene stability, 10 points! Pollution index, 10 points!" Kou Haitao scored full marks in these two assessments for the first time.

Sun Jia and Pei Zongyan looked at Kou Haitao at the same time, with different surprises in their eyes.

Pei Zongyan's astonishment was tinged with anger, while Sun Jia's astonishment was tinged with ecstasy.

They obviously didn't realize what happened just now, they just saw Kou Haitao who had his back turned to him, was silent for a minute, and then unexpectedly gave Qi Yuan two full marks.

"Kou Haitao! What do you want to do?"

After recovering from the astonishment, Pei Zongyan gritted his teeth and said.
