Star Rank Hunter

Xilin's nose is very sharp, and he can separate and analyze the mixed breath that he smells. It is because of this that Xilin was surprised.

Are the people who use these reagents out of idleness, interest in research, or other reasons?

The smell did not come in from the rain outside. From the wind direction and several other smells mixed in the airflow, it can be judged that the smell came from the inside of the building. But, in such an abandoned building, who would use those ancient reagents? Or, in this day and age, who else but some eccentric R\u0026D department would use that primitive method?

Searching for the smell, Xilin found a thumb-thick pipe among the rubbish, and after walking along the pipe not far, Xilin found that the part behind the pipe was hidden inside the wall.

It's really well hidden.

Turn on the finger-sized close-range projection light tube, the light blue light shines on the wall, and the pipes buried in the wall are clearly displayed. After checking it out, Xilin became more and more curious.

interesting.

In addition to this pipeline, Xilin discovered a few more places, all of which are very hidden.

Xilin became more and more careful. Although leaving here was the best choice, Xilin had a strange feeling that made him desperately want to find the reason.

Going down the pipeline, you have to go through twists and turns, and some of them require Xilin to climb in through the ancient vents. Coming to the first floor of the building, Xilin lifted a hidden cover and walked down the narrow stairs below.

It was quiet all around, but not complete silence. After feeling it carefully, he felt that there was no one within the short distance, so Xilin continued to walk in with the light tube.

There are more and more pipes, and Xilin knew that he was getting closer to the target. He took a deep breath and turned off the light tube. Although he didn't feel anyone in front of him, his intuition told him that the front would not be so smooth. Although the light tube produced The energy fluctuation was only within ten meters, but Xilin decisively turned it off just to be on the safe side.

The surroundings were pitch black, and Xilin relied on the subtle air flow to judge the direction and avoid obstacles. About half an hour later, the surrounding space gradually grew larger, and some fingernail-sized electronic lights appeared one after another. From the lights, it can be seen that this place has a history. Moreover, there is still dust on the electronic light board. Although it is not thick, no one has left here for at least a month.

Seeing the spots of light on the wall, Xilin became more and more uneasy.

Something is wrong, something is wrong! It's like... a trap! a trap!

A strong sense of crisis hit, Xilin turned around and ran back without thinking too much. As a hunter's intuition, he has no way to deal with the danger that may arise next.

But what was faster than Xilin was the thick special steel plate that blocked the way of retreat.

A metal knife appeared in Xilin's hand. Although the steel plate could be cut with a laser knife, it would take a lot of time, and the strong energy fluctuation of the laser knife would always expose Xilin's position.

With his back against the steel plate, Xilin quietly looked ahead, and he knew that there must be someone in front.

Da da da……

The footsteps came towards this side unhurriedly, with no intention of hiding at all, but with a confident attitude.

Click.

A beam of light shines on, and the passageway suddenly lights up.

Xilin squinted and quickly recovered from the discomfort from weak light to strong light. But the person standing opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for Xilin to recover.

It was an old man, who looked about the same as an F-class genotype who was nearly a hundred years old, and felt that he would be buried in the ground at any time. The old man's skin was brown and yellow, his body was shriveled, and his exposed arms showed atrophy of muscles. Because the old man was wearing goggles, Xilin couldn't see his eyes clearly. But it was the shriveled old man in front of him that made Xilin feel his whole body trembling.

The old man walked towards Xilin slowly, leisurely as if taking a walk.

Be the first to attack!

Xilin jumped up with a whoosh, without leaving an afterimage. It can be seen that his speed is so fast that he is not weaker than a person with a d-level gene.

Clang!

There was a piercing metallic sound.

Next to the carotid artery of the old man, a dead branch-like hand firmly held the tip of the knife, as simple as pinching a branch.

Whether it is the ion knife or the laser knife, the energy fluctuations are too large. With Xilin's current physical fitness, the chance of exposing himself is greater, so Xilin is more willing to use cold weapons to kill people silently. But even such a special alloy blade was easily blocked by the old man in front of him who seemed to be about to sink into the ground, no, it should be said to be easily pinched! …

The three years of hunter experience between life and death made Xilin have no time to think, this person in front of him is not something he can handle, escape!

But before Xilin could make a move, his body was suddenly tightly bound by strips of liquid metal. Looking at the source of those things, Xilin was shocked to find that these liquid metal-like things actually emerged from the five fingers of the old man's other hand. To be precise, they were the extension of the old man's five fingers. !

Humanity? machine? variant? Or a category of unknown species?

With the cold touch, Xilin smelled the breath of death, and every pore exhaled cold air.

Click!

The alloy dagger that had taken the lives of countless wanted criminals was crushed to pieces. The old man strangled Xilin's neck with his thin fingers, twisting Xilin up like a chicken, and lifted it off the ground.

Limbs were bound, and the blood vessels in the neck were almost blocked.

"Hehe, you came at just the right time." Hearing the voice, the old man seemed very happy, even a little impatient.

If ordinary people were pinched like this, they would have rolled their eyes long ago, but Xilin still had the energy to think of countermeasures.

The old man looked at Xilin and was even more satisfied.

One door after another opened, and one after another closed, Xilin became more and more frightened. In this poor town, there is such a place hidden!

This underground secret room is by no means more than 30 to 50 years old, and it is far more complicated than Xilin imagined. Both the protection and the concealment are excellent. Otherwise, it would not have been discovered for so many years, or the person who discovered it. are all dead.

Xilin glanced at an open room, which was full of people who were preserved in liquid tanks like specimens. The distorted expressions on the faces of those people made Xilin shudder. It was obvious that before death, these people endured intolerable torture.

Perhaps, Xilinbian will become one of them in the next moment.

The old man didn't intend to put Xilin to death immediately, the strength in his hands was well controlled, neither giving Xilin a chance to escape nor damaging Xilin's body functions.

The reason why the old man said that Xilin came at the right time was that Xilin was delivered to the door as soon as the previous experimental subject died and was put into the liquid tank.

Xilin was taken to a room full of large and small instruments and tools. There were many bottles and jars on the table in one corner of the room. Some of the Xilin had been identified from the gas discharged from the pipeline. reagents.

In this era, except for those old pedants, almost no one uses or understands the original method of purifying DNA. Xilin has also done similar experiments, but only out of curiosity, and has not conducted in-depth research.

To purify dna, with today's technology, only a palm-sized instrument is needed, which is fast and precise, and can also perform functional analysis of the genome. However, no matter what kind of purification and analysis instrument is required for real-name authentication and registration, each instrument has a registration code, chip binding and data connection.

Since the old man chose to purify by hand, and judging by the posture, it is still a large batch of purification, it means that this person is engaged in illegal research and is wanted. However, Xilin searched all the wanted information in his mind and found nothing about this person Yes, the planet's most wanted list, regardless of the degree of danger, is public. There are only two pieces of information on the wanted list, one is the picture, and the other is the amount of the reward.

Because this laboratory is underground and covered with a layer of rare isotope barriers, it was not discovered by the "eyes of the sky", and the instrument data of the laboratory should not be connected to the outside world, which avoids other prospecting.

What on earth is this old man going to do?

Put Xilin on a suspended white table, the old man pressed a button on an instrument next to him, Xilin's wrists and limbs were bound by handcuffs protruding from the table, and fine silk threads emerged from the table, passing through The underwear penetrated into Xilin's body, instantly turning Xilin into an experimental body filled with wire tubes, one side was full of red filament tubes, the other side was full of blue filament tubes, and the data on the monitor next to it kept beating.

Now that Xilin was tied up by something on the stage, and he didn't let go of his fingers, the old man withdrew his hand, and his fingers returned to the original shape of dead branches. After injecting Xilin with a tube of sticky, cold liquid, he quickly Press the button on the instrument to combine and analyze the data on more than ten other instruments.

The pain, the pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, the fingers trembled, the blood in the whole body was flowing irregularly, challenging the limits of the nerves every moment, and the thinking was almost instantly scattered, but after a short blank period, Xilin managed to rethink. Concentrate a little bit, otherwise, Xinlin himself will become one of those specimens in a short time. …

Those sticky liquid-like things are actually tiny special biochips, some properties are very similar to gene carriers, they can be integrated into the chromosomes of the human body, and replicate and divide synchronously.

The red silk tube is mainly for induction, which provides nutrients and induces the metabolism of the main body at the same time, so as to accelerate cell division, while the blue silk tube is for apoptosis, so that those lagging cells that cannot keep up with the progress will die.

The old man stared at a rising wave crest on the video screen, chuckled a few times, and turned the knob at hand ten degrees clockwise. Every ten degrees, the induction level would increase by one stage, and the excitation level of the chip would also increase accordingly.

Changes in the hippocampal region of the brain, the methylation region on chromosomes, and the communication frequency between cells are displayed in the form of data on the screens that are constantly flashing, which makes the old man very excited.

Xilin's nerves were hit by a greater pain again, and then he worked hard to gather his energy.

"It's not simple, it's not simple, the mere f-level genotype can achieve such a level!" Looking at the knob that has been turned 180 degrees, the old man began to talk to himself, but there was obvious excitement in his words .

One hundred and eighty degrees, it proves that those chips have been activated by 50%, and now this person is still alive, the flashing data on the screen makes the voice of the old man tremble a little. Among the previous experimental subjects, less than half of them could withstand 180 degrees, which shows that the physical endurance of this mere f-level genotype is comparable to that of d-level.

But how long can it last? Ten degrees more support would result in an extra set of data that would make the old man unbearably excited, but the old man didn't care about Xilin's life or death.

Xilin was looking for an opportunity to escape amidst the constant pain bombardment.
