Chapter 1495 Who is the Gene Warrior?
Chapter 1495 Who is the Gene Warrior?
Chen Jun's figure shot into the isolated courtyard that was emitting inhuman roars like a cannonball. The scene before him made even a seasoned storm-weather man's pupils involuntarily contract slightly.
In the center of the courtyard, a "humanoid creature" over two meters tall, with muscles bulging to the point of being deformed, skin an abnormal bluish-gray, and veins throbbing and bulging on its body like earthworms, was emitting a deafening roar. Its body was riddled with bullet holes, some oozing dark red, viscous blood, but its movements seemed largely unaffected; instead, it became even more frenzied due to pain and rage.
Its eyes were a murky, dark yellow, with almost no pupils, only pure violence and a bloodlust remaining.
The members of the Strategic Bureau's action team, led by Lao Wen, were using the courtyard wall, artificial hill, and overturned vehicles as cover, desperately unleashing firepower at the monster. Automatic rifle and submachine gun bullets struck it with muffled "thuds," splattering blood, but as Lao Wen had said, they couldn't inflict fatal penetrating damage, nor could they stop its advance. Occasionally, a bullet would hit a joint or the head, only momentarily slowing its movements before it erupted into an even more ferocious roar.
The monster seemed to have an instinctive aversion to and incomprehension of firearms. Instead of trying to use the scattered guns, it relied on its overwhelming strength and relatively clumsy yet powerful attacks to relentlessly approach and tear apart anyone who dared to stand in its way. Two or three wounded team members lay on the ground, being desperately dragged to the back by their comrades. Their faces were pale, and blood trickled from their mouths; they were clearly injured by the monster's terrifying strength.
"Boss! You're here!" When Lao Wen saw Chen Jun appear like a divine warrior, his tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but his tone was still urgent. "This thing! Invulnerable to knives and bullets! Bullets are like tickles! Fortunately, it seems to be a bit dim-witted and doesn't know how to use a gun, otherwise we would all be dead here! Several brothers were seriously injured after being grazed by it!"
Chen Jun's gaze, sharp as a scalpel, quickly swept over the "monster." Its size, muscle condition, skin color, and especially its abnormal tolerance to bullet damage... all of this instantly reminded him of the bio-modified "mutants" he had encountered in Japan.
But this one in front of me is clearly more "complete." While the mutants in Japan have greatly increased their strength and speed, their defense isn't as exaggerated, and their nervous system has weaknesses. But this one... even bullets hitting near vital points can't immediately paralyze its movements, indicating that its physical structure, especially its nervous system and musculoskeletal system, has reached a remarkably advanced level of enhancement.
Its only flaw seems to be its intelligence. Although its movements are ferocious and powerful, it lacks skill and tactical awareness, relying entirely on instinct and brute force, like a wild beast driven by rage.
"Interesting." Instead of fear, Chen Jun's eyes flashed with a burning light, a long-lost excitement of encountering a worthy opponent.
He casually tossed Lin Zhan, who was tucked under his arm and looked like a rag doll, toward Lao Wen.
"then!"
Old Wen instinctively reached out to take it, but what he grasped was a heavy, wet, and slightly twitching blood-soaked figure! The strong stench of blood assaulted his nostrils. Even though Old Wen was used to bloody scenes, he was startled by this sudden and gruesome "thing" and almost dropped it.
"Holy crap! What is this thing?! Another mutant?!" Old Wen steadied his hand, looking at the disfigured, barely breathing creature in his arms with suspicion.
Tormented by excruciating pain and blood loss to the point of delirium, Lin Zhan's remaining consciousness was momentarily jolted awake by the words "mutant." He struggled to lift his head, his eyes swollen to slits, and looked at Lao Wen, squeezing out a broken and venomous voice:
"You...you're the mutant...you...your whole family...are..."
Lao Wen: "..."
Chen Jun ignored the little incident. He reached out and ripped off his tactical headset and earpiece, tossing them to a teammate next to him. Then, he began to move his neck, shoulders, wrists, ankles... His joints crackled and popped with each movement, a series of sounds as crisp as popping beans, clearly audible amidst the intense gunfire and monster roars.
His eyes grew brighter, and his aura began to rise steadily. An invisible, chilling aura emanated from him. It wasn't murderous intent, but a more primal, pure sense of power, as if a slumbering beast was awakening.
Only he himself knew that this body, which seemed no different from that of an ordinary person, had already broken through the traditional understanding of the limits of the human body through repeated life-and-death tests, extreme training, and certain unknown opportunities.
To put it simply, he is the most outstanding, perfect, and completely controllable "gene warrior" of this era, possessing extremely high intelligence!
However, he rarely had the opportunity to fully unleash his power and experience the exhilarating feeling of a warrior's blood boiling from the clash of pure strength. The "finished" monster before him, devoid of reason and possessing only brute force, rekindled this long-lost desire within him.
"Step back." Chen Jun's voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, clearly reaching the ears of every member of the Strategic Bureau. "Everyone, step back outside the courtyard! Guard the exit! Leave this to me."
Old Wen was stunned: "Boss, you..."
"Execute the order!" Chen Jun interrupted him, but his gaze remained fixed on the monster in the center of the courtyard, which had turned its attention back to them after losing sustained firepower.
Although the members of the Strategic Bureau were filled with doubt and worry, they obeyed Chen Jun's orders almost instinctively. They quickly helped the wounded up, took turns providing cover, and swiftly withdrew from the courtyard, leaving only Lao Wen carrying Lin Zhan, nervously watching from the courtyard gate.
In the courtyard, only Chen Jun remained, along with the monster who turned around, growled, and stared intently at him, his "new target," with his murky yellow eyes.
Then, under the horrified gazes of all the Strategic Bureau members outside the courtyard gate—
Their director, one of the youngest generals in Yan Kingdom who was usually shrewd and calm, actually let out a deep but penetrating roar!
It wasn't the violent roar of a monster, but a powerful battle cry, as if an ancient beast had awakened!
Before the roar had even faded, Chen Jun stomped his foot hard!
"boom!"
The stone slab where he was standing was cracked inch by inch by his feet, and gravel flew everywhere!
His figure, like a cannonball, charged towards the invulnerable and terrifyingly powerful monster with unstoppable momentum and speed that was almost impossible to detect with the naked eye!
There were no weapons, and no tactical evasion.
It's the most primitive, most direct, and most violent—
A head-on clash!
Two “monsters” are about to engage in a clash of pure strength and physical prowess that defies ordinary imagination in this blood-soaked manor courtyard!
The members of the Strategic Bureau were stunned, their hearts nearly stopping. Old Wen instinctively held his breath and gripped his gun tightly, even though he knew that in a battle of this magnitude, a gun... was probably useless.
Who... is the real "gene warrior"?
