Witch Special

Wildhammer, the main attacker, was ready, but since they were going to attack the enemy base, relying on Wildhammer alone was clearly insufficient. No matter how powerful Wildhammer was, he was still just an individual, and his ability to see was limited. Therefore, in order to obtain more information, Lin Zhenxi needed more cannon fodder to accompany Wildhammer into the underground base.

In reality, this was simply Lin Zhenxi's habitual caution. Even though she had transformed the Wildhammer to unstoppable power, she didn't believe it was truly invincible. While this world lacked mysteries, scientific development was incredibly distorted. Add to that the mysteries, and there were supernatural powers that supposedly weren't, and there were simply too many uncertainties.

Take Saitama, for example. Lin Maki didn't believe the current Wildhammer could defeat Saitama. Even if he could defeat him, a single blow from the bald giant would likely leave nothing behind. Immortality and self-healing were all nonsense. He was as insignificant and fragile as a fly, a mosquito, an ant on the ground, or a bug in a crack in the wall. But Lin Maki didn't sense any mystery from Saitama. Before he launched an attack, even a split second beforehand, he was nothing more than a bald, insignificant passerby in Lin Maki's eyes.

Another person of the same type as Saitama is Bang. Lin Maki could only see that the old man had very strong muscles, but she couldn't understand how such an old man, whose body was almost half buried in the ground, could have so many dragon-level monsters in his battle record.

That was a huge disaster that could destroy several cities. Bangu was just an old man who practiced martial arts. How did he defeat such terrible enemies?

There's no need to delve into science or explore mystical truths. Simply practice diligently, master your martial arts, strengthen your physique, and toughen your bones, and you'll gain the power to split mountains and crack rocks, to shake the world. This might be a third path to power, independent of science and mysticism, and one Lin Zhenxi had never encountered before.

The ever-advancing science can attempt to decipher mysteries, but once deciphered, mysteries cease to be mysterious, losing their original power. Therefore, mystery and science experience a trade-off: the more profound and unscientific the mystery, the greater its power. For example, Hayashi Maki's Apparition, Legilimency, and Imperius Curse are unsolvable, at least within the scientific system of this world. Meanwhile, while the secrets of these powerful individuals who constantly refine their physical bodies can be scientifically deciphered, this scientific exploration has no impact on their own strength. In fact, with the help of science, they become even stronger, a stark contrast to the mystical side. Hayashi Maki is intrigued by this situation and aspires to make the mystical side, like the physical side, complement science rather than mutually exclusive. However, even her teacher couldn't solve this problem. Despite her eagerness, she couldn't find the right direction.

Does technology that can contain mystery really exist?

In this world, there are many powerful individuals who have deeply explored their potential. This is a field Lin Zhenxi has never explored, so she is not sure what level the Wildhammer has reached in this world. Although there is no mystery, this world is also unfathomable. So even though Kinos gave a high evaluation of the Wildhammer's current strength, Lin Zhenxi still prepared for the worst case scenario: the Wildhammer will be quickly eliminated by the enemy in unknown ways after entering the underground base. Therefore, how to obtain more intelligence during this period is what Lin Zhenxi needs to consider.

She needed more eyes, more cannon fodder, to attract more attention, to expose more enemies in the underground base, and thus obtain more information and intelligence. In short, she also needed to prepare a small team of soldiers for Wildhammer, the commando captain.

Even if they were cannon fodder, they had to be at least somewhat capable. Lin Zhenxi's ideal soldier was, of course, Genos's Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. Its toughness, speed, and powerful self-healing abilities made it the perfect super soldier. Unfortunately, Genos hadn't yet mass-produced the Asura Rhinoceros Beetle. The extracted Genos factor had significant side effects, being uncontrollable and causing the recipient to self-destruct quickly, making it unsustainable. Cannon fodder wasn't worthy of Lin Zhenxi's personal transformation. As for Genos's menagerie of monsters... to be honest, Lin Zhenxi wasn't quite impressed by their abilities.

In fact, Lin Zhenxi had also considered the Hero Association of City Z. She believed that as long as she said that a monster's nest had been discovered in the abandoned city area, the Hero Association would send at least half of the registered heroes in City Z to help her act as pioneers.

But in the entire Z City, there seemed to be only a handful of heroes who could really stand up to the test. Aside from Saitama, the bald boss, the rest of the group of misfits combined wouldn't be able to defeat Genos's zoo, so they were really useless.

At least it has to reach the strength of the Wild Hammer before this transformation, right? But that Wild Hammer was already S-class. Even if it was just an S-class, it should still be stronger than A-class, right? If we follow Lin Zhenxi's standards, I'm afraid we'll need to bring in some S-class heroes to be effective. However, S-class heroes are the most valuable cards in the Hero Association's hand, and they won't be played easily.

At this moment, Lin Zhenxi felt very strongly that the reason why humans in this world could still survive and have a future was because of those S-class heroes and Saitama. If it weren't for the protection of these top powerhouses, humanity would probably have been wiped out by the endless stream of powerful monsters long ago.

Unable to find suitable personnel to form the cannon fodder squad, Lin Zhenxi decided to settle for the next best option: using a swarm of rats injected with the Kinos factor to storm the entire underground base. The biological transformation induced by the Kinos factor is a violent process, in which each individual becomes extremely aggressive and their strength increases rapidly, like an inflated balloon, posing a fatal threat to most life forms.

As long as there are enough ants, they can kill an elephant. Moreover, these mice injected with the Kinos factor are not something that can be compared to mere ants.

The pressure was on Kinos. Cultivating the Kinos Factor required a significant amount of resources and energy, and was difficult to preserve. Therefore, Kinos didn't produce too much, only enough to meet its own research needs. Now, Lin Zhenxi demanded that Kinos produce as much Kinos Factor as possible for the mice. He had to work quickly to open a new production line.

Fortunately, Kinos had numerous clones of his own, so he didn't have to worry about a shortage of manpower. Lin Zhenxi handled the resource issues, so he didn't have to worry about expenses. With both hands on deck, the Kinos Factor quickly evolved from a small-scale laboratory experiment to a true bioindustrial product. While large-scale production was impossible due to shelf life issues... and of course, it was pointless. Lin Zhenxi and Kinos weren't planning terrorist attacks, so why would they produce so many dangerous modified organisms... But at least the number needed to produce an army of ferocious white mice was easily met.

By this time, the cables dispatched from other cities had arrived. Lin Zhenxi ordered the cable laying to begin while preparing a sufficient number of mice and a device for injecting the Kinos factor. Then, she cast a spell to shrink the Wildhammer and the ten suitcases containing the mice, stuffing them into her handbag. She left Kinos's laboratory and Apparated directly above the underground base they had discovered earlier.

Time seemed to have stood still in the abandoned city. No matter how much time passed, nothing here would change. The tunnel that the Nifflers had dug remained in its original location, untouched. Clearly, the weirdos in the underground base hadn't considered that the Nifflers had dug directly from the surface.

Lin Zhenxi first checked the magic circles he had drawn. That was the key point. If he wanted to build the signal amplification tower, it all depended on those magic circles.

After confirming that all the magic nodes that formed the large magic circle were intact, Lin Zhenxi returned to his original position, took out the wild hammer and the suitcase containing the little white mouse from his handbag, placed them on the ground, and then waved his wand to make them return to normal size.

Then she lowered her wand, pointed it at the hole dug by the Niffler, and chanted, "Dig three feet."

The fist-sized hole, as if enlarged by a shovel, quickly expanded to a size large enough for a bicycle to fall through. Furthermore, because Lin Zhenxi had allocated far more magical power to this spell than the inventor had imagined, the spell's effect continued to extend downwards, far exceeding the original "three feet" design and appearing to dig through the entire vertical passage.

Oh, it wasn't intended to be, but it had already been dug through. Even after digging through, a lot of magic power was generated, which turned around and widened the passage again, making it even large enough to swallow an old scooter.

It seems that because Xiu Xiu had already dug the channel in advance, the magic power required for this spell is even lower than Lin Zhenxi expected... It's a good spell, thumbs up.

After a spell opened a passage from the ground to the underground base, Lin Zhenxi cast the magic "Slide Flat" to smooth the inner wall of the passage, making it as smooth as a slide. This way, even a body as big as the Wildhammer could slide to the bottom.

Lin Zhenxi first awakened Wildhammer from its slumber, then, as it slowly started, kicked it into the shaft. After sending Wildhammer down, Lin Zhenxi pressed the red buttons on the suitcases and injected the Kinos factor into the rats held within the compartments. Then, before their bodies showed any signs of deformation, he tossed the suitcases, along with the man-eating rats inside, into the chute.

Then use the counter spell to close the entire passage and hide it.

Well, now all the actors are here, and the show can begin. Lin Zhenxi used the Transfiguration Spell to transform the dirt at her feet into a table and chairs. Then, she pulled out a pot of steaming tea and some delicious snacks from the space cube, and leisurely settled into the show.

And more than a thousand meters underground, the strong smell of blood gradually spread.
