You agreed to fight mechas, but your body exploded into stars?

Chapter 8 The Origin of Mutation

Jiang Chen wanted to better absorb the power of the mecha.

The Zero Mecha was specially switched to a balanced state.

Although the two forms of brute force and extreme speed may be more powerful in extreme situations.

However, previous muscle mutants have already proven the flaws and pathologies of extreme attributes.

Even if he had the power to crush Jiang Chen, without agility as a support, it would be nothing more than a castle in the air.

Therefore, when it comes to the absorption attributes of the main body, it is better to try to balance them as much as possible.

Extreme forms can be complemented by mechas.

However, even if the balanced form has two points of defense, it cannot withstand the crazy bites and attacks of the mutants.

As the armor value dropped, the root fibers broke and a large number of cracks appeared on the surface of the mecha.

"Crack!"

There was a crisp sound followed by sparks.

The mecha shattered into countless pieces, and then turned into wisps of white light, rushing towards the abyss in the palm of my hand.

The junior mutant also let out an excited scream and bit into the exposed smooth arm after the mecha was shattered.

There was just a crunching sound as it bit into the empty space.

Instead, a right hand grasped its head.

[Trigger talent: Undead unarmed, absorbed mecha: Type Zero One. 】

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was very comfortable.

After the mecha was shattered, he clearly felt that a surging force broke away from the armor and poured into his body.

This power did not change his size or appearance, nor did it turn him into a muscular monster like a special mutant.

It just makes his body more well-proportioned and stronger.

With this power, he easily dodged the primary mutant's bite and grabbed its head.

No matter how hard the junior mutant struggled, his right hand didn't move at all.

Even if the sharp claws scratched wildly, they could not scratch the skin and could only leave a little white mark.

"Strength, agility, defense..."

"With this kind of expressiveness, I just absorbed the Zero Mecha once, and am I already out of the human category?"

Jiang Chen exerted slight force on his right hand.

The head of the primary mutant exploded like a watermelon, and purple liquid splashed all over.

He looked at the body that fell to the ground and the purple liquid on his hands and body, and was silent for a moment.

It's broken, it's easy to pinch.

Previously, he was wearing a mecha, and through the thick clothes and helmet, he didn't feel anything even if he was contaminated by these liquids.

Now that I touch these slimy liquids with my own hands, I suddenly feel nauseated.

Jiang Chen raised his hand and actually tore off the long-sleeved top stained with purple liquid, revealing his toned upper body. He wiped off the liquid on his right hand and threw it aside.

"It will take ten hours to repair the mecha. I'd better just wait on the roof."

"Try not to touch this stuff again...it's disgusting."

"Test and get familiar with the enhanced power by the way."

"Speaking of which, when I absorbed the power of the mecha, I didn't even let go of the modules."

"You should be able to use the ability of [out-of-control mutation], right?"

Jiang Chen first used [Active Repair] to put the damaged Zero mecha into the repair state.

Then, try to activate the power within your body.

Out of control mutation!

The muscles in his upper body swelled up like a balloon. In just a short moment, they became thicker several times.

With one punch, a hole was made in the metal shell of the helicopter!
  "hiss……"

Jiang Chen sucked in a cold breath.

Now I really don’t behave like a human being.

……

This power drawn from one's own talent is as if it is innate, like an arm.

Jiang Chen barely needed any practice to master this power perfectly.

Even if the muscle form after the out-of-control mutation is turned on, there is no feeling of losing control of power. You can use a delicate device like your mobile phone normally without worrying about making a hole in the screen.

This also made Jiang Chen relax.

He doesn't want his daily life to be affected while he becomes stronger, like washing his face and turning off the faucet...

Come to think of it, Superman could still have a child with Lois.

With my current strength, I won't lose control at all.

After getting used to the power, Jiang Chen continued to clean up the primary mutants at the entrance to the roof.

However, primary mutants are not infinite.

Even if you don't consider the transmission of sound and the number of mutants in high-rise buildings, you still have to consider the issue of corpses.

Two hours later, the mutants no longer appeared.

Jiang Chen moved the metal barrier and took a look, and found that the passage was completely blocked by corpses, and there was disgusting purple mucus everywhere.

So, I temporarily gave up and continued to farm monsters.

Instead, he rested on the roof of the building and waited for the mecha to recover.

Time passed by minute by minute.

About six hours later, the sun slowly set, extinguishing its last ray of light, but the bright moon did not rise in the sky.

On the contrary, a faint purple light lit up in the city below the tall buildings.

Jiang Chen stood on the edge of the roof and looked down.

I found that the green plants in the city that seemed normal during the day turned translucent at this time.

Their branches are like slender pipes, with liquid emitting purple light flowing inside, and spherical black shadows can be vaguely seen.

At a glance, the vast city looks like a purple ocean.

Jiang Chen saw such a magnificent scene.

I can't help but think of the description and introduction of Genman in the props and modules I obtained.

And the fiber shape displayed after the Zero Mecha is loaded with modules.

His heart moved slightly.

"Are these plants actually the source of the virus from the meteorite?"

According to the background of Trial World, the meteorite brought a mysterious biochemical virus. Even if the empire quickly used weapons of mass destruction, it could not stop the spread of the virus.

However, the introduction did not reveal what the virus actually was.

Jiang Chen initially thought that it was some kind of airborne zombie virus that caused the destruction of civilization within three days.

Now it seems that is not the case.

Perhaps these plants scattered throughout the city are the real virus vectors.

Those mutants were infected and parasitized by plants, which resulted in mutations.

In order to test his idea, Jiang Chen picked up the iron piece and cut open the corpse of a mutant.

Sure enough, in the purple mucus, I saw some extremely fine lavender fibers. If you don't observe carefully, you can't detect it at all.

Jiang Chen dropped the iron piece and stood on the edge of the roof, looking at the huge vines wrapping around the tall building under his feet.

"So to say……"

"The most powerful mutant creature in this thousand-meter-high building is definitely not a special mutant..."

"But the vine itself."

"It is the so-called root vine, and it is the source of mutation in this building and even the entire city."

Jiang Chen licked his dry lips.

If you can destroy it, you will definitely get a good trial evaluation.

……

The night is getting deeper and deeper.

Ten hours passed, and the Zero Mecha was finally repaired.

Jiang Chen stood on the roof of the building, clenched his right fist, and summoned the mecha again.

This time, there was more than just white light.

Countless tiny lavender vines climbed out of the abyss and covered his body. As the white light dissipated, they solidified instantly.

A silver-black warrior wearing lavender armor appeared on the spot.
