"Another major event? What is it?"
Ye Feng looked at Bao Yuting, his brow furrowing slightly.
"It is… it is said that someone broke into the core area of Brad Base and engaged in a fierce battle with the Ten Blood Guards..."
"One of the Ten Blood Guards is dead, and another is severely injured!"
Bao Yuting explained to Ye Feng with considerable tension in his expression.
His voice was so low that Ye Feng would not have heard it if he hadn't had good hearing.
"A fierce battle?"
Ye Feng jumped down from the top of the tank and stood in front of Bao Yuting, looking at him with puzzlement.
"Mmm!"
Bao Yuting nodded. "The person who broke into the core area of Brad Base is extremely powerful, and it is said that they are not human... they seem to have wings..."
"A person with wings?"
As soon as Ye Feng heard this, the ultimate auction item at the Brad Base auction that Yue Miao had mentioned earlier, the Angel, immediately came to mind.
Xiao Xiao also seemed to realize something. She also got down from the top of the tank and pricked up her ears to listen.
"I'm not very sure about this, it's just what some people claimed to have seen!"
"But the fierce battle in the core area of Brad Base is true, and the incident with the Ten Blood Guards is also true!"
Bao Yuting thought for a moment and replied quickly.
"I see..."
Ye Feng frowned and pondered.
Soon, he handed two bread rolls and a bottle of mineral water to Bao Yuting, "Take us on a tour of Brad Base!"
...
Around 2 PM,
Ye Feng, Xiao Xiao, and Bao Yuting were resting by a window in a bar called "Indulgence."
Because Brad Base had announced the auction, many adventurers had come here, so even during the day, the bar was quite crowded.
These people were clearly not ordinary adventurers, as they were quite extravagant.
At this moment, Ye Feng also understood Bao Yuting's situation. It turned out that yesterday, when Bao Yuting was acting as a guide for the group in the armored vehicle, they not only refused to pay but also kidnapped him, wanting Bao Yuting to lead them for free...
This led to the scene in the super sandstorm zone last night...
"It seems that bases of major powers have advanced arcane energy civilizations..."
Watching arcane energy SUVs, motorcycles, and even bulldozers whizzing by outside the window, and then looking at the refrigerator inside the bar, which was also powered by arcane energy, Ye Feng muttered to himself.
"Big brother, there are strange people over there!"
At this moment, Xiao Xiao pointed to the entrance of the bar.
"Oh my... what the heck?"
Ye Feng followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and couldn't help but be taken aback.
Because the person walking into the bar... was likely no longer a human in the true sense of the word. It was a lean man with an octopus head and wolf claws for arms.
Next to the octopus-headed man was a bald, burly man whose left eye had been replaced by mechanical components and whose right arm was a massive mechanical arm.
"That's a cyborg and a fusion!"
While Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao were confused, Bao Yuting's voice rang out.
"Cyborg? Fusion?"
Ye Feng and Xiao Xiao both looked at Bao Yuting with confused expressions.
"Yes!"
Bao Yuting nodded. "Brad Base has a special benefit for adventurers, which is that anyone here can get modifications for free and become stronger!"
"Cyborg refers to modifying one or more parts of the body, such as replacing one's hands and feet with those of a black bear or an elephant, or directly upgrading to mechanical armor!"
"The bald man with the mechanical arm is Zhang Wei. He is a typical cyborg. His left eye is a mechanical eye with infrared sensing and super aiming capabilities, and the mechanical arm on his hand is an arcane energy weapon!"
"The octopus-headed man next to Zhang Wei is called Yu Hou. He is a fusion, with his head fused with a poisonous octopus, and his right wolf claws can tear through steel plates!"
"These two are regulars at the Indulgence bar!"
Bao Yuting quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"This... Brad Base is that good... letting people get stronger for free?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng looked at Bao Yuting with surprise.
"Although it's a bit unbelievable, it's true!"
Bao Yuting nodded. "Because of this, Brad Base has become a paradise for desperadoes, especially traitors from major powers. Many of them undergo modifications or obtain fusions here to greatly increase their strength!"
"Of course, Brad Base is only responsible for the first modification. To obtain a fusion, you need to trade something valuable!"
"But after the strength increase from the first modification, most people want to undergo further modifications or obtain better fusions. And if there are problems with the modified parts, only Brad Base can handle them..."
"So many people simply joined Brad Base..."
Bao Yuting glanced at Zhang Wei and Yu Hou, who had already taken their seats, with a look of apprehension.
"Better fusions..."
Ye Feng frowned slightly. "Cyborgs are relatively easy to understand. What about fusions?"
"I'm not very clear about that either, I just know that fusions can greatly enhance a person's strength. Some people even survive after their hearts are blown out."
"And fusions are ranked from low to high: Normal, Soldier, General, and the King level, which we've only heard of but never seen!"
"Most adventurers can only obtain Normal level fusions, as they are cheap, costing only 100 arcane yuan. Soldier level costs 3000 arcane yuan, and General level exceeds 7000..."
Bao Yuting quickly explained to Ye Feng.
"Sometimes, Brad Base also gives away Normal, Soldier, and even General level fusions for free through lottery. Of course, the prerequisite is that you must go to Brad Base's medical examination center for check-ups, injections, and modifications on time!"
"But no one cares about this prerequisite, because after accepting a fusion, you have to go to Brad Base for regular check-ups anyway to avoid problems. It's just an extra requirement for punctuality!"
"As for injections and new modifications, they mostly make people stronger. This drives those people crazy!"
"Although there are occasional direct deaths, in this doomsday... especially those who come to Brad Base, they are lucky to live one more day..." Bao Yuting added with some emotion.
"Big brother, this sounds... like some kind of experiment?"
Hearing this, Xiao Xiao couldn't help but frown slightly and said.
"Mmm!"
Ye Feng nodded slightly. He thought the same thing.
After all, in this doomsday, an organization that freely modifies and strengthens others is inherently strange.
Brad Base's actions are more like conducting some kind of human experiment, or controlling these people through modified parts and fusions...
"What are they trying to do with all these experiments...?"
Ye Feng's mind flashed back to the person named Sphinx he met in Mech City. He was from Brad Base, and at that time, his condition could no longer be considered human...
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, Ye Feng frowned. He said to Xiao Xiao and Bao Yuting, "Let's go, let's go look around somewhere else!"
