Flesh-Machine Separation

There are wolves in front and tigers behind.

No, there are birds in front and birds behind.

Without saying a word, the senior engineer flapped his four wings, turned upside down, and plummeted headfirst to the ground.

Two colossal sky beasts were in hot pursuit.

It's worth mentioning that although it has four wings, the high-tech aircraft's flight speed is actually not fast, at about 27 m/s, which is definitely not comparable to a nuclear-powered aircraft and is about half the speed of a regular helicopter.

Although those two flying behemoths could only bounce around within the atmosphere, their flight speed was 550 knots, or about 282.9 meters per second, which was ten times that of the senior engineer.

The reason it's so exaggerated is that the high-level engineers fly purely by human power, relying on their wings, while the flying behemoths, although enormous in size, contain a vast amount of bioenergy.

Despite the gravitational acceleration, the distance between the two is still rapidly closing.

Especially with ionizing radiation birds, the senior engineer could even smell the burnt odor coming from their backs.

The other party is actually making thunder from a distance!

"Luckily, I always have a backup plan. I knew you'd try something cunning!"

Suddenly, the senior engineer had something in his hand. It was something that looked a lot like an arc reactor, but from another branch of technology.

Built-in engine - V-type carbon atom reactor

The fingernails automatically extended, and five 'daggers' slid and plucked out a mechanical heart from the chest.

"This piece of junk, I've wanted to replace it for ages!"

He casually tossed it behind him, and it struck the falling lightning, instantly shattering 'Scumbag Gao's' last remaining conscience.

"Director Du is just like Director Du; even his gifts have this industrial style. He doesn't even bother to wrap them properly. For example, he could have put a glass box with a blessing written on it, like—'Mr. Gao has a warm heart.'"

"Now look what happened! You've lost all conscience, it's all your fault!"

The carbon atom reactor was inserted into the part that originally belonged to the mechanical heart.

The next moment, violent energy overflowed from Gao Gong's body and spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Although the senior engineer really wanted to be like Iron Man, with a series of data suddenly flashing before his eyes, such as wind resistance, altitude, and enemy-friendly distance.

But let alone the combat system, he hasn't even gotten his hands on the combat chips yet.

"I absolutely must get a top-of-the-line combat chip from the security forces later!"

Fortunately, the country bumpkin has his own methods. The next moment, the organism began to transform, and the 'massacre-style modification' started automatically.

"Air pores" grew on the limbs, and the flesh on the four wings wriggled, squeezing out a row of energy nozzles. The "venom" was also stimulated and transformed into a streamlined curve.

Especially in the wingspan area, the blood-red blade protruded.

When they were less than 100 meters from the ground, the sound barrier was broken and a sonic boom exploded. A long white line appeared behind the engineer. At that moment, the engineer sped up to the speed of sound and flashed past in the low sky. Dozens of beast heads flew up at the same time.

[You killed the Heavy Metal Butterfly, experience +500]

[You killed the mechanical cannery, experience +800]

[You killed the illusion monster, experience +500]

[You killed the saw-toothed cactus, experience +1300]

All the taller radioactive beasts suffered undeserved calamities, fully demonstrating the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

The speed of sound is 340 m/s. Back then, the senior engineer used the speed of sound to sever the head of the Reaper leader with his sword-drawing slash.

After initial stumbling, the senior engineer quickly adapted to high-speed flight and even mastered aerial harvesting without a teacher.

So it really is possible to spawn monsters on a large scale.

Soon, the senior engineer's experience points began to soar towards 100,000.

It wasn't that the senior engineer was deliberately showing off; rather, the "V-type carbon atom reactor" should be used in conjunction with the "Devil Jet Three-Phase Type" to unleash its full power.

But time waits for no one, and the Scarlet Queen won't wait for you to be ready before she makes her move.

This temporary implantation has a limited usage time, which is why it must be temporarily installed on the battlefield.

Although the speeds are similar, the sheer size and weight of the "Multi-Headed Ghidorah" make it impossible for it to fall from a low altitude of 100 meters and then rise again like the high-ranking engineer did.

Let alone a hundred meters, even a thousand meters, once it goes down, it can't come back up.

The only threat to the senior engineer was the ionizing radiation bird. It wasn't that the bird was faster than him, but like other pure energy life forms, it possessed a very annoying ability: energy field teleportation.

The raging lightning was as bright as day. Although the "bullet time" was automatically activated, allowing the user to dodge several bolts of lightning that struck down from the dark clouds, the next moment, a sea of lightning rose from the black tide and condensed into a huge bird shape, which was hundreds of meters tall.

The senior engineer had no time to slow down. His four wings folded together, and thick, rubbery skin oozed from the subcutaneous fat. At the same time, 'venom' erupted rapidly, transforming into a large black sphere that enveloped the senior engineer.

The next moment, violent lightning engulfed the large sphere.

A humanoid charcoal figure fell from the sky and crashed heavily to the ground. Several low-level radiation beasts tried to take advantage of the situation, but in the next moment, four sharp claws pierced out from the charcoal figure and penetrated its body.

With a series of gurgling sounds as it digested, the radiated beast quickly shrank, and the black charcoal slowly cracked. A moment later, the engineer crawled out of the charcoal, his bloody yellow eyes darting around wildly, and pounced directly on the surrounding beast horde.

Before long, dozens more mummies appeared around them, while the senior engineer's skin, which had turned fair and rosy, returned to its original state.

"I need to give this guy a good beating first, otherwise with him causing trouble, I won't be able to focus on the rest of the battlefield."

A metal claw slashed at the thigh, tearing the flesh apart and revealing an injection tube.

Tamil Molecular Injector: Perception +3, Attention +30%, activates the 'Alertness' button in the mixed nervous system with drugs, duration: half an hour.

"That alone isn't enough."

The senior engineer frowned slightly as he looked at the progress bar on the system panel, which was less than 10% complete.

When dealing with high-level radiated beasts, the accumulation rate of 'Gene Slaying' is exceptionally slow.

Fortunately, when I was struck by lightning, I managed to poke a hole in the other person's head.

If the opponent tries to teleport and launch a wide-area attack again, they won't be able to reach you.

"Hmm, you kind of like that guy?" The senior engineer looked at "Venom".

Venom recovered from the high engineer's blood-sucking and was now turning into a pool of thick blood, gnawing on various corpses.

As the saying goes, machines counter carbon-based organisms, and carbon-based organisms counter energy. However, an unfinished product like "Venom" can only do so much damage to B-level energy lifeforms.

"Got it!"

With a sudden thought, the engineer beckoned, and the mass of pus and blood automatically covered his body, making him look even more grotesque.

The next moment, countless nerve bundles pierced out from the surface of the body and stabbed into the body of 'Venom'.

On the system panel, the senior engineer's bio-energy dropped rapidly, from 4910 to 100 points, which was roughly the level when the senior engineer had just transmigrated.

However, the aura of 'Venom' was rapidly increasing.

This is a biological version of the Great Art of Transmission of Power.

"I can't call you Venom anymore, since that name is already taken. I'll just call you Red Liquid, since you and I both like to suck blood."

The 'red liquid' emitted an excited emotion.

The senior engineer looked down at his arm, which had turned into four alien claws, and shook his head helplessly.

After the beast tide ends, he needs to go to that 'pre-war research institute' as soon as possible to search for advanced bionic technology; otherwise, how can he win the favor of rich women in this form?

The next moment, a sonic boom rang out, and the senior engineer's feet stomped into the ground, creating a small crater before he soared into the sky once more.

The Crimson Queen seemed determined to restrain him. Amidst the dark clouds and lightning, a large number of mechanical birds scattered in swarms. Upon seeing the senior engineer, their biological radars began to operate.

In an instant, the entire sky turned into a radar network.

As before, the senior engineer dashed around at sonic boom speed and quickly took down more than a dozen mechanical birds.

However, continuous lightning struck again, creating a resonance that caused a vast ocean of lightning to descend once more.

This time, instead of focusing on defense, the engineer accelerated the operation of the carbon atom reactor and frantically fled outwards.

As his health plummeted, the high-level engineer's speed also increased rapidly.

The ionizing radiation bird had to expand the range of the "Ocean of Lightning" to hundreds of meters, thousands of meters, and five thousand meters. When the diameter reached the threshold of ten thousand meters, even a B-class behemoth could not withstand the consumption of "electricity". All the lightning was drawn back into the center, and a huge bird shadow began to be born.

Unexpectedly, a dark figure pounced on them at a speed even faster than they could run.

Lightning is not as fast as a sonic boom.

A hint of doubt flashed in the eyes of the ionizing radiation bird; it possessed powerful combat intelligence, so it didn't understand.

With his body severely injured, how could he possibly fight me?

However, when the "senior engineer" appeared in front of it, its figure suddenly exploded, turning into hundreds and thousands of red fluid tentacles that directly enveloped its main body.

All the tentacles frantically implanted, rapidly absorbing the power of the ionized radiation bird.

On the other end of the fluid, countless blood vessels coiled around the surface of the 'carbon atom reactor,' making the reactor's light grow brighter and brighter. The energy loss from before, as well as the energy consumed when the Mountain was the user, was being rapidly restored.

At this moment, the senior engineer's true form staggered over. He was covered in black smoke, his body was three times thinner, his cheeks were sunken, his eyes were bulging out of their sockets, and his titanium alloy skeleton was exposed on his body, which was also charred black, making him look extremely terrifying.

Staggering and half-dead, he flew to the side of the reactor. His skeletal claws grabbed the reactor and shoved it into his chest. As the violent energy surged in, the engineer finally awoke from his stupor.

"Damn it, I'm electrocuted!"

The senior engineer glanced at the less than one-tenth of the remaining health and his eye twitched violently.

In fact, he wouldn't have dared to take such a risk if it weren't for the beast tide.

But as an "advanced radiation beast," as long as he isn't instantly killed, the radiation energy provided by the beast tide can always keep him alive until his last breath.

And this kind of risk is clearly worth it!

Looking at the ionized radiation bird, which was enveloped in 'red liquid' and unable to struggle out for the time being.

The senior engineer gave a gloomy smile, and hundreds of biological straws were squeezed out from under the skin and flesh, simultaneously inserting into the red liquid.

Berserk Bloodsucking!

The opponent's health started dropping rapidly, in units of thousands.

The senior engineer's skin swelled up again, and his four wings regained their vitality. The blood feathers on his wings became even more vibrant, and the 3*3m bioelectricity began to 'buzz'.

This advanced energy field is a talent skill he possesses only in his super-combined state.

At the same time, a surge of heat rushed to his lower back.

The next moment, another pair of 2-meter-long wings emerged from the skin and flesh. The surface of these wings was transparent, and tiny electric currents were running through it.

[You have acquired the skill, Basic Lightning Control]

[Your biomodification rate (digestive system) +1%]

Seeing that the 'Gene Slaying' skill was already at its maximum, the senior engineer waved his hand, and the 'Red Liquid' quickly transformed into a huge blood-red scythe nearly ten meters long, which he then slashed fiercely down at the neck of the ionizing radiation bird.

A thunderclap boomed, and the sky brightened instantly.
