Chapter 995: Arena (Part 1)

"It's almost time to start!"

At 8:15 in the morning, in the underground facility next to Jichang Composite Materials Company, Marcus gradually unplugged the wires connecting the human brains in Pool 0 and Pool 1.

ticking

The water on Marcus's hand fell onto the surface of the pool. The eyes of the people in Pool 0 moved slightly, and bubbles came out of the water one by one. There was a pungent smell in the room, Luo Rita looked at everything in front of her quietly. At this time, the cadres began to appear from the light and shadow screens one after another, looking at everything in front of them.

Regarding the details of the research, the cadres asked a lot of questions throughout the night, but Marcus obviously didn't want to say anything and cleverly avoided the question.

But in the end, what everyone is most concerned about is the actual combat power of these human-wolf soldiers. Marcus has already guaranteed this. Even if the lowest-level E-class mutants have poor physical fitness, if they use this wolf If you have alienated genes, your strength can be comparable to that of A-level mutants.

The end of the season is a good example. Many people didn't believe it at first, but after everyone saw the battle with Jean at the end of the season that day, everyone was convinced.

At this time, some videos were being played on a light and shadow screen. The videos were of several C-type transformers originally sent to solve the problem at the end of the season. Their strength was at least the level of A-level mutants, but in just 20 seconds, It was instantly killed at the end of the season.

Everyone has also seen the video of the battle with Jean at the end of the season. Being able to suppress Jean all the time is extremely incredible to many people.

At this time, everyone wanted to see what the actual combat capabilities of mutants implanted with wolf alien genes were.

thump

The people in Pool 0 opened their eyes, sat up, panted and looked at everything in front of them, and then began to scream in heartbreaking pain.

"Welcome back Mr. Marco!"

The pale man in the pool, whose hair had been shaved off, slowly turned his head, and a little golden red appeared in his originally light blue eyes.

"This is"

Marco's tongue was a little knotted. He looked at the light and shadow screens around him in horror, looking a little confused, and the chill was still sweeping over him.

At this time, the person in Pool No. 1 also woke up. He was a man who was stronger than Marco. There was his name, Wu Qi, on the wall of the pool near his head.

Wu Qi looked older than Marco. Although he was trembling, he still walked out of the pool.

"Dr. Marco, can you give me a blanket!"

After a while, Marco and Wu Qi sat by the wall with a blanket on their backs. They looked at everything in front of them quietly and looked at each other. They both knew each other and had participated in a virtual network experimental project more than 40 years ago. .

"What on earth did you see!"

Lolita walked over and asked directly, Malfa smiled sadly and shook his head.

"Sometimes I was in the forest, sometimes under the sun, sometimes in the snowy mountains, and sometimes I saw monsters. It was like having different dreams, until now."

Everyone present knows that this experiment led by 10 departments to connect human brain neurons to the virtual network world ended in failure. When this technology achieved certain breakthroughs, it was announced that as long as you feel that you are already in the real world, If it is meaningless or dissatisfied with the status quo, you can sign a contract and then enter a state of permanent dormancy. You can travel in the virtual online world and build everything you imagine.

Why Congress agreed to all this is unknown. Only Frye knows the real reason, but Frye never said it, but Marcus seemed to know something, but he didn't intend to say anything.

"Dr. Marcus, who are you, or why are you standing here?"

Marcus smiled, grabbed a single-sided spectacle from the table nearby, put it on his right eye, walked up to Marco and Wu Qi, pulled their heads and arms and inspected them carefully , after a while Marcus smiled and nodded.

"No problem, my physical signs are normal and I am recovering slowly. I will be able to start in about half an hour."

Marcus said, the two looked at him doubtfully, Marcus smiled and patted the two on the shoulders.

"How many years have we been asleep?"

Marco asked and Marcus said.

"It's been 43 years. This plan failed. I brought you here after you were abandoned."

For a moment, the two people next to the wall seemed to be in a bad mood, with mixed feelings.

"Where are my two sons, Wu Chao and Wu Yue! They"

"Wu Yue is dead. Although I don't know where Wu Chao is, he should have been arrested by the administrative department."

For a moment, Wu Qi's face began to darken. His hands were clenched into fists, but his fingers were a bit unruly. Marco's face also looked a little uncomfortable at this time. He was a criminal himself, and one day he accidentally got a hand in prison. He signed a letter of intent for research, and as long as the research was completed, he could regain his freedom. Of course, Marco signed it without thinking about anything.

"If you want to eat, I will take you there. You should be aware of your physical condition."

Marcus said and they both nodded.

At this time, many cadres were confused, and Lolita also looked at Marcus with confusion.

"I told them a lot about my research through some special means, but it was like a dream to them."

The two stood up tremblingly and followed Marcus into a lighted passage.

"Does the stuff on the upper level need to be blasted out?"

At this time, a woman wearing a mask asked in a low voice. Lolita hesitated for a while and then said.

"We'll wait until the storm calms down. If it explodes now, it will be covered up immediately."

"Human beings are indeed a bunch of hypocritical creatures who like blood and violence."

One cadre said, another cadre said.

"Don't you enjoy watching it too? From the past until now, haven't you liked watching others fight the most?"

"Reject violence!"

"Ban the live broadcast!"

"Civilized society!"

"Against barbarism!"

At this time, near the headquarters of Section 5, many people were sitting or standing on the street holding signs with eye-catching slogans. They passed by some people who were discussing the live broadcast of the mutant promotion exam, and they immediately left. Said the past.

"Ladies and gentlemen, every year the Department uses live broadcasts to disseminate such brutal fighting scenes. Don't you think this is strange!"

Several men and women who were about to go to the restaurant, for a moment, avoided it with some disdain. Human rights groups like this can be seen every year at this time. They think that the content of the combat examination is blatantly broadcast in full view of the city. Promoting violence.

"Mr. Duke, this time of year is like a carnival for everyone, but there are also different voices. Some people think that the mutant promotion exam should not be so publicized and extravagant. What do you think?"

In the cbv live broadcast room, Pan Hua looked at Duke next to him with a smile. At this time, Duke smiled helplessly. There were only two live broadcasts, and some people sitting at home in the restaurant were also a little confused at this time. He got up because he didn't see Hu Youran.

"Why is that old man Hu Youran missing?"

A table of people were sitting in the restaurant, eating snacks and watching the live broadcast. One of the men muttered.

"It may have been taken down. After all, he said something like that last night. Fortunately, our family ran fast last night, otherwise we might not even be able to buy anything today."

Violence is quite common for many people. Violent incidents occur from time to time in the streets and alleys. Everyone has become accustomed to it over the years.

"Actually, you don't need to worry too much. The purpose of the live broadcast of the exam is that mutants are a special group, and everyone knows that mutant laws are different from ordinary people. For example, as a mutant, you attack ordinary people. , if it is just ordinary people fighting, the punishment will be from one month to one year of agricultural work, depending on the seriousness of the matter. If a mutant causes a violent incident, the minimum sentence will be one year in prison. "

At this time, many people had tuned the channel to cbv, and many other TV stations were talking about the same old stories. Some people, whether they were real experts or people hired by gambling companies, were talking about a lot of theories about mutant fighting, and they were still talking about the same old stories. Some of them are programs before the battles between celebrities on the TV station, which are more serious in nature. There are also some celebrities who maliciously act cute and pretend to be stupid, which makes many people feel disgusted.

Most of the programs that broadcast live about the key points of mutant battles and the relationship between the strong and weak are advertising in nature and some induce viewers to buy some gambling. In recent years, it has been difficult for these TV stations to make any tricks in the program. Because they don't dare to openly discuss major social and economic issues like CBV without permission from the administrative department.

"Everyone should have heard that mutants actually eat a lot. Especially after using their alienated abilities, the body will need to replenish a large amount of energy to maintain the activity of the alienated cells. This also leads to the problem of mutants. If you do the same job as ordinary people and receive the same money, you may starve to death, so the wages of mutants are higher. The most well-known jobs for mutants are probably bodyguard work, errand work, or construction sites. In fact, you may not know that many mutants have also made relatively large contributions in the industrial field. A large part of the scabs created by mutants using alienated cells are actually used in industry, but many people do not know it. , of course I am just giving an example!”

Duke said as he began to pull up a chart.

"This is the income of mutants before the exam and some social incidents caused by the alienated cells in mutants. They all happened in chaos and without any supervision. The exam started more than 30 years ago. After the beginning of standardization, some social incidents caused by mutants have been greatly reduced. "

Duke said as he stood up, took his hands on the two charts, and drew a downward red line.

"Mutants are actually the same as us ordinary people, but their bodies are much stronger than ordinary people. In the past, they did not have a chance to show themselves, so the decision was made to make the mutant examination public, and this decision also led to A large-scale consumer economy has arisen, and on this stage for display, naturally everyone will try their best to show themselves, so that everyone can see the advantages of mutants in a comprehensive and three-dimensional way. "

At this time, Duke changed the topic and said immediately.

"In the past, everyone should have watched some entertainment fighting shows. At that time, such shows were very popular, but many things were pre-set. Over time, everyone became bored and lost interest. However, the mutant promotion exam is the only one that can make everyone so excited every year. It's not that everyone likes violence, and the purpose of the Action Department is not to show violence, but as a mutant, fighting ability is the best embodiment of a mutant. This can also allow ordinary citizens to understand some mutants better, instead of watching some fake programs. Even these fake programs in the past were suspected of being manipulated by bookmakers, so now everyone basically doesn't see the kind of mutant programs that are manipulated behind the scenes like talent shows."

Many people still agree with Duke's remarks. Many people in their sixties and seventies know that in the past, the only place for mutants to go was the Action Department, or to do some labor. At that time, the most popular place for the middle and lower classes in the city was the underground arena, so most mutants could only go to these arenas, but usually these arenas had dark operations.

The legal and regularized mutant battle live broadcast of the current Action Department is completely different from the past. There is no secret operation. The mutants who can finally enter the top 64 are all aiming for the front position, including the mutants who take the exam. After all, it has a lot to do with their future income.

"Not bad, I'll give you 9 points. I'll work hard next year."

Le Xiao smiled, and the recorder of the Results 5 Department next to him looked confused. At this time, the No. 1 pole where Le Xiao was was crowded with mutant candidates. Everyone wanted to take the exam in front of Le Xiao.

Just now, a D-level mutant jumped 9.868 meters. Last year's record was 9.124 meters. He was a D3-level mutant. This time he was promoted to C-level, but he was still more than ten centimeters short. He was desperate, but at this time, this D-level mutant kept nodding to Le Xiao with gratitude.

Many mutant candidates who have taken many exams are also puzzled. It is considered good to get 7 points for such a result. Unexpectedly, Le Xiao gave 9 points.

"Master Le Xiao, watch carefully, I'm jumping!"

A thin C-class mutant half-crouched on the ground, and Le Xiao nodded.

"Let's start!"
