Chapter 18 X Serum

When Suren saw a brand-new set of "Frost Giant Armor" in a mechanical box they casually opened, he immediately realized that this batch of goods was not "second-hand mechanical equipment" bought by the Steam Party from the inner city.

This kind of mechanical armor with top-notch technology, even the City Guard of the inner city's elite troops, isn't fully equipped with it yet. There's no way they would sell it to the outer city gangs.

Without looking at the other boxes, Suren knew that the goods in this truck had far exceeded expectations and were of immeasurable value.

He had heard in the high-level professional circles of the black market not long ago that someone was looking to buy this kind of armor, with a unit price of over fifteen million riso.

The most important thing was that the configuration of this escort team felt strange to Suren.

Would a normal transport team escort something so valuable?

But after thinking about it slightly, it felt quite reasonable.

The Steam Party's escort team has always been very active.

Who would have thought that a store that normally sells bread would occasionally mix a bag of powder other than flour into its supply?

In the outer city, Tier 2 professionals are all big figures with status, and generally wouldn't lower themselves to rob a batch of "second-hand mechanical equipment."

But in fact, the escort team led by that "Barbarian" Buck was just a decoy to mislead people. They might not even know what they were escorting.

The special bulletproof vehicle and the Abomination Warrior were the real protection for this batch of goods.

If ordinary robbers were to rob this transport team, not to mention whether they could stop this special explosion-proof truck, even if they did, once they opened the carriage and faced the "Abomination Warrior," an ordinary Tier 1 professional team would have almost no chance of survival.

Even if there really were Tier 2 professional robbers, without means to restrain the monster, they could be entangled and killed, or dragged until the Steam Party reinforcements arrived.

Even if they could escape, they definitely wouldn't be able to take the goods away.

Thinking about it this way, this low-profile escort method was not only not outrageous, but also very clever.

Besides, after Suren fully understood what this batch of goods was, he understood even more why the consignor chose such a low-key escort method.

.......

Kai looked at this set of "Frost Giant Armor" and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.

In his life, he had never seen such good things.

He looked at Suren and asked, "What do we do now?"

"What else can we do? We've already robbed it, of course we take it away."

Suren smiled nonchalantly and said, "We'll just clean up the scene a bit later."

People have been killed, monsters have been killed, and even if they stop now, the mastermind behind this batch of goods will definitely investigate to the end.

When Kai heard this, his face lit up: "Haha, that's what I thought too!"

People from the gang have this kind of courage.

That's what he meant in his heart, but he was worried that his greed would cause fatal trouble for the gang and Suren.

After all, the greater the value, the greater the price the mastermind will pay to investigate. There are quite a few robbers who have failed in this kind of thing.

Now that he heard that Suren had the same idea as him, he felt relieved.

A man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth!

Who's afraid!

The two of them then began to happily unpack the boxes and pack everything up.

........

Storage rings are a simple application of spatial laws in alchemy. Because it's a secondary space, it can't be made too large. The larger it is, the easier it is to collapse, and the cost also increases exponentially. A normal storage ring has only one-eighth of a cubic meter of storage space, and a larger one has only half a cubic meter.

Even Suren only had a storage ring of about one cubic meter, which he got from killing the noble student Jack in the underground cave last time. It's barely enough to store the puppets, but it's not enough to store these not-so-small mechanical equipment.

The two of them had no choice but to take these mechanical equipment out of the boxes, and stuff everything that could be disassembled and folded into the storage ring. The large items that couldn't be disassembled were gathered together.

The people in the inner city used an iron box over two meters long to transport this set of "Frost Giant Armor," but the actual space occupied by the items inside was less than a third of that. Probably they were afraid of bumps and scratches on the enchanted plating, affecting the aesthetics or something...

But Suren and the other robbers naturally didn't have these concerns.

The two of them treated the mechanical arms and mechanical legs like firewood, roughly tying them into bundles, and tying them up with the canvas they brought, so it would be easier to load them on the motorcycle and take them away later.

The two of them moved quickly and soon unpacked most of the boxes.

Five sets of armor, ten single-soldier cannons, a number of light/heavy-duty external mechanical exoskeleton components, fifty rune pistols, twenty mechanical rifles, fifteen boxes of alchemical bullets, and a number of ordinary ammunition grenades...

In addition to the astonishingly valuable armor and ammunition supplies, this truck also contained various types of protective suits, gas masks, instrument accessories... and the like.

When Suren saw the ammunition supplies, he was already wondering who in the outer city could use such high-level equipment.

When he saw these laboratory equipment, a strange thought immediately popped into his mind: "This batch of equipment, wouldn't it be sent by the inner city to a secret experimental base in the outer city?"

These high-quality biochemical equipment is useless to the people of the outer city, and only laboratories would be equipped with them.

And seemingly to confirm his guess, at this time, a small accident occurred.

"Clang," a crisp sound like glass breaking, rang out clearly in the carriage.

Suren turned around and saw Kai looking at him innocently.

Kai didn't understand what happened, and pointed to the storage ring fragments and the box on the ground, and said truthfully: "I... I saw that there were potions in this box, so I put them in the storage ring. I didn't expect the storage ring to shatter..."

Kai had never encountered this situation before and didn't understand what it meant.

But Suren thought of something, and his expression froze slightly.

The storage ring shattered?

He immediately opened the box and then used appraisal on it.

As expected, it contained something with a law level higher than that of a secondary space like a storage ring.

There were five neat potions!

[X Serum Concentrate]

Details: An active substance extracted from the body of a super-cognitive '***Abyssal Creature'. Injection results in a significant increase in physical attributes, increases tier limit, and modifies bloodline;

Effects: After injection, the body will receive a large boost in the coming months. Dark spiritual power tolerance limit increases by 230%-570%, strength increases by 270-350%, toughness increases by 220-325%, cell activity increases by 880-1100%, cell division limit increases by 50%... Values ​​fluctuate due to uncontrollable mutation factors; after blood modification, the recipient obtains the inheritance of this abyssal bloodline, obtains related growth, and gains an additional 3-10% increase in all attributes for each advancement;

Side effects: The serum's efficacy is very violent. Humans with a bloodline level not higher than this abyssal bloodline will experience 100% aberration after injection; after aberration, attributes will undergo random mutation, resulting in a significant increase in attributes. It will turn your skin blue for a long time;

......

"X serum?!"

Suren's eyes froze as he looked at it, and he instantly fell into thought.

He never expected that he would find five legendary "X serums" in this batch of goods.

He guessed when he saw the "Abomination Warrior" before that the inner city guys hadn't given up on the research of that plan.

But seeing this batch of potions, he realized that this experiment was actually so close, even in the West District!

He also knew that he had guessed correctly, this batch of goods was really a supply sent to a secret laboratory set up by the inner city in the outer city.

"Things are a little complicated..."

Suren murmured in his heart.

However, the things are already in hand, and any trouble is a matter for the future.

He is more concerned about the value of this potion.

After all, the string of data appraised was too eye-catching.

"Even ten times the cell activity can't achieve that kind of exaggerated recovery ability. The Abomination Warrior should have had some mutations in its body after the aberration..."

"Cell activity and the number of divisions are attributes directly related to lifespan. No wonder the big figures in the inner city can't forget about it..."

"It can also gain some bloodline growth... If it doesn't aberrate, it's simply a divine medicine!"

“…”

Speaking of the increase in the body, this "X serum" is simply exaggeratedly inhuman.

Dark spiritual power, strength, toughness, cell activity... it is simply a dimensional doubling increase.

It's even much more exaggerated than the attribute increase from a Tier 1 job change!

It gives people the feeling that one injection can immediately have superhuman physique.

But the words 100% aberration were too eye-catching.

Suren looked at the information appraised from the potion, and too many thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration.

X serum + Aberration suppression potion = Living corpse!

That "Living Corpse Research Diary" records the detailed method of refining living corpses, and now it seems that all the hardware conditions are complete?

Before there was no whereabouts of "X serum," Suren didn't pay much attention to the contents of that diary.

But now that he has a few real potions in his hand, his thoughts immediately became active.

Now that there is "X serum," although the aberration suppression formula is still in the research stage for the Black Tower, it is not a big problem for Suren.

Because there is a detailed formula in the diary!

Suren has always guessed that the living corpse can use that sealed object, the Black Scythe... If he can really create a living corpse, maybe it will add a great killing move to him!

Moreover, can "X potion" be used on living corpses, or can it also be used on the human body?

If the aberration on the living body can also be suppressed, wouldn't he take off immediately?

Thinking of this, Suren felt that he should go back and take a good look at that "Living Corpse Research Diary"...
