Chapter 261 23. Biological and Mechanical

"KK"

After the members of the combat team exchanged glances, they faced Carl who was behind the Arasaka agent and raised the authentic kinetic assault rifle in their hands without hesitation.

Ten assault rifles fired at the same time, instantly covering Agent Arasaka and Carl behind him. While Agent Arasaka stared with his eyes wide open and his body was torn into pieces of flesh and blood by the powerful kinetic bullets, Carl had already left from behind him and pulled out the gun from his waist.

Gunshots rang out in the corridor all night long, but the combat team members, who had long known that Carl usually only carried a kinetic pistol when he went out, were already prepared for Carl's counterattack.

Sensing the danger, the synaptic accelerator was activated, and each of the ten combat teams avoided Zhongye's bullets with extremely agile movements. Then they dropped Zhengzong, took out various melee weapons, and surrounded Carl from two directions.

To deal with an enemy like Carl, attacking from multiple directions is always the best option.

Carl's eyes quickly swept over the people surrounding him from both sides, but he found that their advancing speed was quite fast. The people on both sides were approaching at almost the same speed, which eliminated the possibility for Carl to deal with them one after the other. Moreover, looking at the bulging muscles and red face of the man in the lead, it was obvious that he had activated the violent prosthesis.

When this type of enemy is in a berserker mode, all physical pain will be forgotten by the rush of adrenaline, and the body's ability to withstand damage will also increase significantly.
Definitely the best meat shield.

We can't wait here for them to complete the encirclement. Even if we can't deal with one group before dealing with another, we have to find a target first.

Carl chose the five people rushing over from the left, and at the same time, his hand moved slightly, and a small knife went to the right.

'A knife?'

The person on the right side was the first one to rush to the front and was planning to rely on himself to cover his teammates in the attack. Facing the knife flying in front of him, his brain was in a violent state and did not perceive any threat, so this little doubt disappeared in his mind in an instant.

The members selected to be the meat shields of the combat team are at least two meters tall, with tight muscles and subcutaneous armor that is not much different in thickness from that of an armored vehicle. There is nothing to be afraid of with a small knife no longer than the length of a palm, as long as it is not sharp enough to penetrate this layer of protection and hit a fatal part at the same time.

The knife did not cause any harm to the combat team member just as he had expected. The blade, which was only ten centimeters long, was blocked by flesh and blood after it penetrated deeply into his right chest. Apart from cutting off half of the synthetic lung lobe of this combat teammate, it did not cause any more physical damage.

But this is exactly what Carl wants.

When Carl threw the knife, he deliberately did not use much force, otherwise his arm combined with the power of the knife would be enough to pierce through the leading combat team member while stabbing into the chest of the next few combat team members.

The effective range is five meters.

Muttering to himself, without paying attention to the situation of the people on the other side behind him, Carl faced the enemy in front of him, and a single molecule line had already been pulled out between his hands.

"Om."

The light that flashed from Carl's hand gently surrounded the throat of the enemy in front of him. At the same time that Carl loosened his left hand, he exerted a little force with his right hand, and soon, a head was separated from the body.

Carl grabbed the helmeted head with blood gushing out from the edge, and threw away the helmet that he had just grabbed with his right hand while holding a wakizashi that was stabbing forward with his free left hand. The blood gushing out from the broken helmet accurately fell on the heads of the remaining personnel. Although these combat team members all had artificial eyes, just like the glass of a car needs wipers, they still need to blink when facing liquid, which is no different from ordinary eyes. At the moment they blinked unconsciously, the knife behind Carl started.

In the electromagnetic pulse, the five combat team members behind Carl who had been modified to a high degree were disturbed at the same time, causing a pause. This pause coincided with the moment when the remaining four people in front of Carl blinked unconsciously.

In other words, at this moment, Carl was the only one who could see things clearly and act freely.

For a mercenary of Carl's level, there are so many things that can be done in such a short period of time.

Time, as Carl wished, slowed down in his perception.

During this time, Karl loosened the wakizashi in his left hand, and while slowly retreating, he took out a grenade from his waist.

A grenade that Carl asked the owner of the weapons shop to modify and would activate the moment it was used.

The name of this grenade is the Deep Cutting Personnel Anti-personnel Grenade. It is a special grenade that will emit cutting lasers in all directions after being thrown. It is expensive, but it is not unfair to use it to deal with Arasaka's combat personnel.

"Zi Bing!"

The crimson laser spread out in all directions like a shower, and then began to move and cut. In the laser cutting with a killing range of about four meters, the bodies of the four fighters on the left were cut into pieces of unknown objects with scorch marks, and before these scattered bodies fell to the ground, Carl had already turned around.

Now in front of him were five combat members who had temporarily lost their ability to resist due to the electromagnetic pulse.

But when Carl looked at those people, he was a little surprised to find that in this team, there was a person who had restored his prosthetic eye and was looking at him in horror.

Although the various prosthetic parts on his body have not yet resumed functioning, the recovery of his prosthetic eye alone is enough to surprise Carl.

Is the recovery speed so fast?

Carl had heard that some hovercrafts on the market now have special technology that can slightly resist EMP. For example, during the press conference, Kang Tao used an ordinary hovercraft to demonstrate how to temporarily abandon the defense system and restart the body stability program when hit by EMP. However, Carl always thought that it was only something that hovercrafts were experimenting with. He didn't expect to see a similar situation on humans.

Could it be that the muscles and organs of biotechnology were used to construct a half-mechanical, half-flesh structure?
Doubtful and puzzled, Carl, however, became curious and was willing to explore the reasons.

Under the horrified and regretful gaze of the combat captain, he waved out the single-molecule line.

Among the flying heads, Carl pulled out the knife from the body of the person next to him with his left hand and confirmed it with his right hand.

"Sure enough, it's a new product that combines biotechnology, a structure that combines machinery and flesh and blood. I always thought that this technology was only used by those powerful people who were trying to prolong their lives."
