Biological Modification

The senior engineer understood somewhat.

It turns out that the Fission Duke is a 'nuclear battery'.

This battery wasn't meant for them, but for the Scarlet Queen.

No wonder this guy hardly made a move; the battery ran out, so he's out of power.

The senior engineer walked to a piece of equipment, opened the combination lock with great familiarity, and countless documents spun rapidly in front of him.

At the same time, on the outskirts of Scavenger City, amidst the raging radiation, one after another radiant suns lit up, and between these suns, the high concentration of radiation power was like a sea of fire, igniting everything.

At the center of the sea of fire, there was first a point of black light, then it turned into white light, and then the white light turned into gray light.

The light grew larger and larger until finally, a humanoid figure the size of a small mountain emerged.

It was the Duke of Fission.

His body overflowed with molten lava, and wherever he went, even mutated plants were quickly ignited. The massive radiation spread to half of the city, and its terrifying power made all the radiation beasts feel fear.

Inside the theater, the overhead lights suddenly started buzzing.

In an instant, all electrical appliances, except for the one with a backup power supply, went out.

The dark environment did not affect the 'complete form's' vision.

In fact, quite the opposite, he was figuring out how to deliver a nasty blow to the other party.

According to the information, the Fission Duke has two fearsome abilities: one is a small nuclear explosion, and the other is to use the power of the beast horde to transform into radiation and teleport.

The range of the beast tide is the range of teleportation.

Imagine if the enemy teleported and then used a nuclear explosion; how many people could that take away?

Under normal circumstances, even a senior engineer would be helpless against such a monster.

However, there is an exception now.

The fully-formed entity's gaze fell upon the modification pool. The Beast God was an advanced biological product of the Meat Machine Technology, and the liquid in the modification pool functioned similarly to the Radiation Beast version of the "Bio-Regenerative Armor," responsible for perfectly combining "energy" and "body."

They had actually tried it once before, but the fusion wasn't perfect that time, and many parameters still needed to be adjusted.

His fully developed hearing allowed him to hear the heavy footsteps.

The rapidly digested knowledge is refining the plan.

The next moment, the fully formed creature strode into the pool, and at the same time, its body began to change, with 'other insects' as thick as water tanks squeezing out from the surface of its skin.

The senior engineer performs a biological transformation—the alien insect form—in his fully formed state.

What's the point of a man and a woman getting together? Why not just have a man on top of a man with me?

After absorbing the 'liquid,' the alien insects quickly merged into the flesh carpet, and almost simultaneously, a large number of neural networks began to appear on the flesh carpet covering one-third of the Scavenger City.

The Crimson Queen, thousands of miles away, let out a painful scream.

She could feel that her flesh spores had been stolen by someone else.

At the same time, the Duke of Fission stopped in his tracks.

In its eyes, a familiar and comfortable feeling came over it.

Is the Scarlet Queen back?

The Fission Duke was born for the Crimson Queen. The two share the same genetic module, and their relationship is similar to that of a sycophant and a goddess. That's why it is so obedient, even though they are both A-rank.

Because of its rapid development, its intelligence is far less than that of a normal Grade A.

Seeing the surrounding fleshy carpet churning up huge waves and surging wildly towards it, it quickly forgot about the 'enemy'.

It believed that the Scarlet Queen was about to merge with it again, and thick smoke billowed from its skin, similar to the estrus hormones of ordinary wild animals.

The next moment, as a large amount of fleshy blankets rushed into its body, the Fission Duke let out a joyful roar.

However, in the next instant, this 'pleasure' turned into 'pain'.

The fully evolved form doesn't actually come to serve the other party; it comes to cause destruction.

This disruptive method involves accelerating the fusion process, implanting the power of the Scarlet Queen into its body before the biological parameters are properly adjusted.

It's equivalent to Ouyang Feng practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse.

That feels pretty intense.

The massive fleshy blankets transformed into fleshy buds, frantically burrowing into the giant's skin and absorbing its radiant energy.

The flesh spores that had absorbed the power quickly grew into bodies, with human faces struggling to emerge from the fleshy blanket, their dark mouths opening and closing in agony.

In an instant, it seemed as if tens of thousands of faces had appeared on the surface of the Fission Duke's body.

These are all the dead who died at the hands of the Scarlet Queen, and have been "resurrected" by the power of the Fission Duke.

The Fission Duke finally reacted, roared, and a huge explosion came from his body.

At the edge of the giant carpet of flesh and blood, a wet, human-shaped figure emerged and crawled out.

Controlling such immense power, especially the power of an A-level radiated beast, is something even a senior engineer would find difficult to handle.

However, he showed no intention of stopping to rest.

Four wings were squeezed out from its back, and it flapped them outwards with all its might.

If he's guessing correctly, it will soon be "bright" here.

Sure enough, not long after, a bright light emerged from the Crimson Duke's lair, illuminating half the sky.

It's like a little boy landing in Hiroshima, his mushroom-shaped haircut flying into the air.

"I hope that A-rank monster didn't explode and get killed."

The next day, upon hearing about the senior engineer's remarkable achievements, Huang Yuanli, unusually, did not feign resentment; instead, her eyes sparkled with admiration.

"It won't die; the vitality of an A-level creature is terrifying. However, it probably won't be able to 'explode' for a while."

Are you sure?

"Of course, can a battery that's been submerged in water still be used?" The senior engineer shoved the other person dismissively. "Go do your work, don't keep hanging around me."

Huang Yuanli left satisfied after hearing this juicy gossip, while the senior engineer turned around and smiled, saying, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days, which has made our achievements possible today."

The dozen or so people present remained silent.

Arguing against it is inappropriate. Severely injuring an A-level radiation beast is something even Lord Demon Mountain couldn't do. If this isn't a gain, then what is?

But when I think about those two weeks of living hell, there are some things I can't say.

Monsters from Scavenger City have landed in Gasoline Town.

Oh no, the supreme advisor has arrived today in his loyal car city.

"What, does everyone really have nothing to say?"

Everyone present was at least a colonel-level officer in the security force, yet under the aura of the senior engineer, they couldn't utter a single word.

The senior engineer looked at the three leaders, who were among the few who were not afraid of him.

Colonel Cape, the instructor of the first and second teams of the Rending Tigers.

The strongest among the Berserkers, Iron Madman.

Takagi, the commander of the Shadow Force.

These three were all former confidants of the Demon Mountain and were also level 30 elites from the mother city.

The Iron Maniac in the middle, in particular, gave the senior engineer the feeling of a "mini version of The Mountain".

It is worth mentioning that the former captain of the Rift Tiger Second Team, who was of the same level as them, died in the siege of B-level radiation beasts.

Therefore, Kepp served as the instructor for both the first and second teams.

Of the elite troops left behind by the Demon Mountain, fewer than 20 remain.

The rest perished in the beast tide.

Finally, it was the old acquaintance, Kepp, who spoke up, "Now that we have severely damaged that 'Fission Duke,' and the other 'Crimson Queen' has not yet returned, isn't now a good opportunity to launch a counterattack?"

The senior engineer glanced around, choosing not to provoke them further, and calmly said, "Not for now. Defense is now in the hands of our people. You can take this opportunity to rest."

"The head of the logistics department, please stay behind. Everyone else, please go back."

Iron Madman was the first to get up and leave without looking back, and the rest of the people followed suit.

They had no other thoughts than to go back and get a good night's sleep.

The senior engineer and the logistics department took stock of the remaining troops.

Large combat robots, 22 seats

134 ordinary combat robots

Combat aircraft: 44

Special forces elites, 18 people

Ordinary combatants: 3,210; missing: 2,210.

Weapons, several

Logistics supplies, a number

The senior engineer sighed, closed the list, and said to the head of the logistics department, "From now on, let's proceed according to my plan."

One of the supervisors mustered his courage and said, "Isn't it a bit too late to restart the bio-factory and manufacture biological soldiers now?"

"Who said restarting a bio-factory necessarily means producing bio-soldiers?" the senior engineer retorted.

"That--"

"Do as instructed!"

The supervisor immediately fell silent.

"Tsk, you've suffered such a huge loss. Even if a B-level radiation beast were to take action, let alone an A-level radiation beast, you might not be able to stop it."

The senior engineer tapped his fingers on the table. The only good news was that there were still plenty of military supplies, and the senior engineer was arranging for people to move them.

He didn't intend to hold out in the Motor City; while the Mountain was concerned about political repercussions, he wasn't.

The fall of an oasis is none of his business; his mission is to hold back the beast tide.

Moreover, he believed that what he would present next would definitely satisfy those people.

The senior engineer opened the system panel, looked at the nearly 300,000 experience points, and almost without hesitation upgraded the [Biologist] skill to level 5.

[You have triggered the job change quest: Biologist]

[Job Change Quest: Biological Modification]

Task details:

1. Submit ten types of biomodification materials

2. Conduct three rounds of biological improvement.

3. Submit a biological design scheme.

The first and third options are both very simple. Biological materials are everywhere in the beast tide, and the 'Beast God General Data' he obtained is definitely the most advanced biological design plan.

As for the second one...

He seemed to remember that several bio-modified warriors had been injured, and he figured they probably didn't mind having a few extra parts on their bodies.

Oh, right.

The senior engineer opened the bio-modification panel and, sure enough, found a new notification.

When he returned home last night, he felt as if something was different about his body.
