My skills have mutated again!

Chapter 284 Who is invincible and who is showing off? Who is the boss and who gets beaten? (Part )

"The purpose of this virtual Ash Zone is to serve as an audition, so the world view is not complicated. Even the size of the battlefield is limited to an area as large as Death Island."

"Then again, it's just a virtual Jhin zone after all, which is equivalent to a dungeon program compiled by Jhin zone. Now that the race sequence war has begun, there are too many people in the auditions, and Jhin zone probably doesn't have enough computing power to make each virtual Jhin zone look decent."

The blaster ray gun in his hand burst out with a blazing red light. After a precise single shot, the head of the centaur corpse monster in front of him exploded and fell to the ground dead.

Wang Jingxiang blew on the muzzle of the blaster ray gun in a pretentious manner, just as Chu Aotian's voice rang in his ears.

"I don't care about that! Where's the antidote you mentioned? Ah! I'm telling you, if there's no antidote, I'll fight you!"

The angry kid looked like he was going to make a fuss if he didn't give him candy, but Wang Jingxiang didn't care.

"Look, you're in a hurry again... Don't worry, you still have time, I'm counting on it."

After saying this, he ignored Chu Aotian's frustrated expression and continued talking to himself.

"There are two key backgrounds. One is the Nira virus, which you can understand as a zombie virus in a narrow sense, and the other is Chimera Bio Company."

"The background story is that Chimera Corporation accidentally made something dangerous, which led to the leakage of a virus, turning this island into a veritable island of death. That's what it looks like now."

Just as a tide of zombies was approaching from the front, Wang Jingxiang interrupted his speech and drew out a long iron sword from his waist.

The XS combat suit increased Wang Jingxiang's physical fitness from 10 points to 100 points, and the protective function of this combat suit is far stronger than that of a level 6 bulletproof vest.

At this moment, he was like a white dragon, fighting his way into the crowd of zombies alone, with his sword flying like a mad dragon.

After a brief confrontation, Wang Jingxiang killed all the enemies and shook off the blood on his sword, looking very cool.

But I saw the anger in the kid's eyes growing stronger and stronger...

I'm here suffering from the virus infection, and you're over there showing off with monsters.

How can a kid stand the disparity in this world?

Wang Jingxiang didn't care either.

He just kicked open the sewer entrance in the abandoned city and gestured to the kid.

"The antidote is inside. Please go first."

Chu Aotian looked at the dark entrance to the sewer and slowly pursed his lips.

Without any need for thinking, he had already heard the creepy roar coming from the sewer.

……

"This trial zone is very friendly to the weak like us."

"Not only has it brought everyone's strength to the same level... um... let's just say it's the same level..."

Gu Bai looked at Xia Lin's iron armor and wanted to complain but didn't know where to start, so he could only continue: "Besides, this Ash Zone also provides a chance for the weak to turn the tables. It's a side quest."

This is clearly written in the Jhin zone tips.

"So I want to do this...Take advantage of the one-month Ember zone to trigger as many side quests as possible, so as to gain an advantage and try to get more points in this Ember zone."

After Gu Bai finished speaking, he turned and looked at Luo Shan and her daughter.

"There are a lot of clues... Not only are there documents scattered all over the Island of the Dead, there are even living people on this island, and they are two of them."

Next, Gu Bai briefly talked about the background setting of Death Island, and then talked about it again.

"The reason why I am willing to take Luo Shan and her daughter with me is not only because of their personalities, but more importantly, Luo Shan knows the secret research base of Chimera Corporation, which is also the source of the virus leak. I think if I can crack this secret, I can probably get a lot of points and advantages."

Xia Lin nodded in agreement.

"That's for sure. Maybe the mission to clear the level will also fall on this secret research base you mentioned."

Just then, Gu Bai took out a map.

What is drawn on the map is the topographic map of Death Island.

The entire Death Island is an irregular circle.

Gu Bai stretched out his hand and pointed to the center of Death Island.

"This is the location of the secret chimera research base."

There was no need for Gu Bai to say anything more, Xia Lin had already seen the clues.

"According to the shrinking circle rules, this place is probably the last safe area."

Gu Bai nodded heavily: "So this time in the Cinders, the Cinders system will force us Cinders travelers to go here, and finally decide the final winner here..."

Speaking of the five words "final winner", Gu Bai glanced at Xia Lin's equipment, and happened to see Xia Lin looking up, smiling at him slightly, but smiling without saying anything.

This made Gu Bai sigh.

"Don't worry, brother. If the Jhin District requires a winner to be chosen, I will definitely give up automatically."

"But it seems that this time, the Ashes Zone doesn't require us to decide the winner."

There is no such statement as "there can only be one winner" in the tips of the Jhin area, so there is a weak basis for cooperation between the walkers.

Xia Lin stood up.

"As soon as possible, let's go check out this so-called secret base first, and then see what great treasures the Cinder System has prepared for us."

Xia Lin has a high starting point and great advantages.

The combination of iron armor + superman potion + virus antibodies is still a dimensionality reduction attack against the Amber Walkers whose strength is sealed.

Therefore, the advantages provided by the side quests became a thorn in Xia Lin's side.

He also didn't know what advantages the Jhin area would give in the side quests, and he couldn't be sure whether these advantages could overturn the current pattern of strength and weakness.

So it’s better to hold this kind of thing in your own hands.

……

The simple Ashes and clues everywhere mean that any Ashes walker who is a little more careful can target the secret research base in the center of Death Island.

Just one day later, except for some unlucky ones who were killed by local monsters, half of the remaining seventy-odd Ash Walkers arrived at the secret base.

In front of the H86 underground passage, Luo Shan swiped her ID card, opened the gate of the base, and said quickly while carefully hiding behind Xia Lin.

"The secret base is located underground on Death Island, and its total area is as large as one-fourth of Death Island."

"Since it is the source of the virus leak, there are not only more monsters inside, but they are also far more twisted and terrifying than those outside."

Roshan's daughter Oli turned her head and looked at Xia Lin. Instead of feeling uneasy, her eyes were full of stars.

"But with Brother Xia Lin by our side, those monsters you mentioned, mom, can't possibly hurt us!"

During the day's journey, the power of the iron armor not only conquered Luo Shan and her daughter, but also made Gu Bai drool.

Xia Lin smiled but said nothing.

He just walked into the secret base first.

And at the moment he officially entered the underground base, a prompt sound immediately rang in his ears.

[You have arrived at the hidden area of this cinder zone: the underground research base. ]

[You have already understood the worldview of this ember zone. ]

[The side quest has been triggered. ]

【The clearance mission has been triggered.】

[Side quest: Biochemical hunting ground. ]

[Biochemical Hunting Ground: In the underground research base of Chimera Corporation, there are countless high-risk mutants. There are dangers here, but there are also opportunities. ]

[All Ashland Walkers can hunt mutant creatures in the underground research base to obtain ranking battle points. ]

[Please note: The temporary mall has been opened! You can choose to consume the ranking battle points in the temporary mall to gain more advantages for you in this assessment area! ]

As Xia Lin thought about it, this so-called temporary shopping mall automatically appeared in Xia Lin's retina.

After a quick glance, Xia Lin narrowed his eyes immediately.

Because this temporary mall can indeed change the balance of power among the walkers in the Ashen zone.

……

All kinds of weapons and defensive equipment are sold in the temporary mall.

The highest level of armor is the XS combat suit, which costs 500 points.

The most advanced weapon is the blaster ray gun, which costs 300 points.

From this perspective, Xia Lin's equipment advantage still exists.

However, there are still basic attribute purchase items in this temporary mall.

——1 basic attribute is 1 point, but it is a temporary attribute that can only take effect in this ashes area.

"So, if there are enough points, the Cinder Walker can definitely raise his attributes to superhuman levels."

Xia Lin rolled his eyes, very dissatisfied with the rules of the Jhin District.

You're targeting me, right?

Gu Bai on the side had other opinions.

"In fact, it is something that is worth weighing and testing your decision-making."

"Whether to spend the points in this Ash Zone, or take the points away and exchange them for more valuable items after leaving the Ash Zone, this is something that the Ash Zone Walker needs to weigh for himself."

All items in the temporary mall are only effective in this ashen area.

The price-performance ratio is far lower than the redemption form that appeared in the pre-war preparation space.

Therefore, whether it is for long-term considerations or to understand the current predicament, it is worth it for the Ashes Walker to think deeply.

Just as Gu Bai was muttering, the system notification sound of the Jhin area continued to sound.

[Clear Mission: Nila Chimera! ]

[Nira Chimera: Find the location of the Nira Chimera and kill it. ]

[Reward for successful mission: Clear the level. ]

[Penalty for mission failure: None. 】

The clearance mission is simple and clear.

Without Xia Lin saying anything, Gu Bai had already looked at Luo Shan.

"What is the Nila Chimera?"

Luo Shan was stunned for a moment and then shook her head blankly.

“I’ve never heard of these five words…”

It may be because Luo Shan’s level is not high enough.

Gu Bai simply changed the topic and asked Luo Shan for other information about the underground base.

However, he didn't notice that Xia Lin had already walked to the security room near the entrance.

……

Long before Xia Lin and his group arrived at the underground base, a walker from the Cinders had already arrived there and triggered the side quests and clearance quests.

Underground base, in area C58.

The woman in red pulled the trigger, and the sniper rifle accurately hit the biological mutant that looked like a human and a leopard.

3 points were credited to the account and quickly consumed by the woman in red, turning into basic attributes.

Forbearance, hunting. The attributes began to soar.

When Xia Lin and others arrived at the underground base, the attributes of the woman in red had risen to more than two hundred points!
"Because of the vehicle problem, my speed is fast enough. I am probably one of the first group of Ash Walkers to arrive at the underground base."

"In addition, I also have the initial equipment advantage converted from my strength."

Pulling the trigger again, the biochemical monster turned into an attribute, and a stern smile appeared on the face of the woman in red.

"In this case, I'm probably invincible."

……

But faster than the woman in red were Wang Jingxiang and Chu Aotian.

As a true disciple of the White Dragon Sword Sect, Wang Jingxiang's overall quality is impeccable, and he discovered this underground base in the first time.

“That’s what I call a solution.”

He spoke with a smile and looked at Chu Aotian beside him.

It can be seen that at this moment, Chu Aotian has been corroded by the virus and has lost his human form.

The young man named Aotian's body expanded to three meters in height, but he was not bloated. Instead, he had a well-proportioned body. Ignoring the horrific hyperplastic structures all over his body, he even gave people a sense of strong and agile beauty.

At this moment, Chu Aotian's eyes had become confused and dazed.

The virus corroded his brain, but not completely, causing Chu Aotian to barely maintain his sanity, but having difficulty hearing and understanding the prompts for side quests and clearance missions.

Chu Aotian in this state can just meet Wang Jingxiang's needs.

He spoke with a smile, as if he was giving an explanation, or as if he was talking to himself.

"In this ember region context, Chimera Bio has been studying Nira virus for more than 30 years."

"The biochemical transformation project is also a key research direction of Chimera Biological Company."

As he spoke, he took out an electronic item that looked like a medal from his pocket.

"In the eyes of Chimera Corporation, biological weapons are weapons, and weapons naturally need users."

When Wang Jingxiang said this, there was undisguised malice in his eyes as he looked at Chu Aotian.

“Even if their attributes are sealed, the Ash Walker still has 10 basic attributes, and their life essence is completely different from that of mortals.”

"After being infected and mutated into a monster, its strength is naturally extraordinary."

"Just like you now, you are the most suitable weapon for me."

As he spoke, Wang Jingxiang had already put the item in his hand on the back of Chu Aotian's head.

A weak electric current flashed through the electronic items, causing Chu Aotian to roar angrily.

The light in his eyes suddenly went out, replaced by dullness and obedience.

Seeing this scene, Wang Jingxiang snapped his fingers.

"Go ahead. You lead the way. Let's go to area A3 and find more brain-computer controllers."

Brain-computer controller, the means by which Chimera Corporation controls biochemical monsters.

No one knows where Wang Jingxiang got his first brain-computer controller.

And it seems that he also knows the location of the brain-computer controller warehouse.

"The idea is simple... Didn't your Ashes seal my power? Then I will find power again in this Ashes."

"And according to the logic of this Ash Zone, there is no force stronger than these biochemical monsters."

I thought of the biochemical monsters that were everywhere here, and the thousands of brain-computer controllers in the warehouse in Area A3.

Wang Jingxiang couldn't help but open the champagne at halftime.

"Then I'm invincible!"

"What good person would be so foolish as to spend points on that temporary mall? Isn't that a huge loss? Taking advantage of the situation is the wise choice!"

……

Because of the biological and chemical disaster leak, the entire underground base has lost power, and only the emergency lights are still flashing red, which makes the scene look quite gloomy.

In the security room, Xia Lin killed a small zombie with one punch, cut open the skulls of two zombies in security uniforms, and then came to the monitoring station.

There is no battery, it cannot be used, and the screen is completely black.

Xia Lin stood there, lost in thought.

Soon, he held out his hand.

The hand area of the iron armor suddenly cracked in accordance with Xia Lin's will, and two data lines extended out.

Under the operation of the intelligent control system carried by the battle suit, two data cables automatically probed into the monitoring station, and a brilliant blue light burst out!

A female mechanical voice rang in my ears - this was the voice of the battle suit's intelligent system named Xiao Ai.

【The invasion begins.】

【Invading...】

【Has taken over the base's intelligent computer. 】

[Transferring authority...]

【Transfer completed! 】

[Master, you already have the highest authority in this base. ]

[It is detected that the base function system has failed. Should we provide energy to the base? ]

Xia Lin raised his eyebrows and nodded.

"Yes."

As the word fell, the blue light on the battle suit became more dazzling.

Just as the blue light flashed, the lights in the security room suddenly lit up.

In front of Xia Lin, the surveillance screens restarted and displayed the surveillance images of the nearby area.

wait……

About ten minutes later, the data cable extending from the iron armor automatically retracted, but the surveillance screen was not turned off.

Xiao Ai's voice sounded again.

[Recharging completed. The base currently has sufficient energy to support full operation for an hour.]

[Battle suit remaining energy: 99.99%.]

Xia Lin's wild laughter suddenly rang out in the security room, causing Gu Bai and Luo Shan, mother and daughter, to look at each other in confusion, not understanding what Xia Lin was laughing at.

On the contrary, Xia Lin finally let go of the tension in his heart and the slight dissatisfaction of "feeling like he was being targeted".

He clapped his hands.

"That's right, that's right!"

"The Ashes system is fair after all."

……

One of the advantages is the nuclear energy individual combat armor. The item description contains the words "this armor has unlimited energy."

When Xia Lin entered the secret base, he quickly realized the correct way to exploit this advantage.

The base has been abandoned due to a biochemical disaster, and its power supply facilities have been destroyed by monsters, leaving the base without energy and paralyzed.

The iron man suit with unlimited energy can perfectly solve this problem!
Xia Lin sighed as he looked through all the secret information about this base transmitted by Xiao Ai.

"Doesn't this make me invincible?"

After saying this, Xia Lin immediately came back to his senses.

"No, I'm supposed to be invincible!"

If it weren't for the special rules of the test zone, it would be easy for Xia Lin to defeat this zone and the remaining 99 zone walkers with one hand.

This is also the reason why Xia Lin is quite dissatisfied with the rules of the Cinder Zone.

——This rule seems fair, but in fact it is the greatest unfairness.

But at the moment, the Jhin system is not as unfair or targeted as imagined.

A person who should be invincible will inevitably gain an invincible advantage, but a small, not too difficult test is set in the middle to test the brain and thinking logic of the strong man to ensure that his intelligence is not much lower than that of normal people.

Just like what is happening right now.

There are many clues about the underground base scattered throughout Death Island.

As a person with absolute advantage, Xia Lin only needs to lower his head and simply search and study to discover the existence of the underground base.

Once they arrive here and trigger the side quests and clearance quests, as long as Xia Lin can connect the iron armor with unlimited energy to the secret base that has lost its energy supply, his first-mover advantage will no longer be unstoppable.

At this time, Xiao Ai has taken over the core control system of the entire base.

Each surveillance camera brings a picture of the current scene inside the base.

Each Ash Walker is either hunting or solving puzzles, and everyone has something to do.

The woman in red was like a scarlet whirlwind, sweeping away all biochemical monsters. Her physical attributes had been raised to several hundred points.

Wang Jingxiang was leading three biochemical monsters towards Area A3. Based on their route, Xiao Ai calculated their destination - the brain-computer controller storage station.

Monsters of various appearances were clearly visible in Xia Lin's eyes, and the locations of various high-risk monsters were clear at a glance.

At the very end, there is the boss named Nila Chimera.

A single surveillance camera can't even get a glimpse of the entire thing.

Before Xia Lin could observe the boss carefully, Xiao Ai suddenly gave a hint.

[Do you choose to hack into this object's brain-computer controller? ]

Xia Lin: "Ah? Is this possible?"

Xiao Ai gave a thoughtful answer.

[Yes, you can.]

One of the first-mover advantages: nuclear-powered individual combat armor.

This is equipment that is beyond the era of this Ashes.

Just like the difference in strength between Xia Lin and other travelers in this Ashes District.

Just as Xia Lin said the word "invasion", an electric wire near the Nila aggregate suddenly jumped and instantly pierced into the body of the Nila aggregate.

The energy in the battle suit quickly dissipated, and when only 98% of the energy remained, Xiao Ai spoke again.

【Intrusion completed.】

Xia Lin stood still and it took him a full minute to realize what was happening.

"So, I'm the boss?"

Xiao Ai thoughtfully corrected the mistakes in Xia Lin’s words.

"You are just the controller behind the BOSS."
