Chapter 126 Saving Private Ron
The entrance to the mine has been widened and reinforced with steel beams and concrete, which is enough for cars to pass. The ground has been simply leveled and there are small rails.
Different from the light and dark sentries in the woods on the hillside outside, there is no one guarding here, as if it is an abandoned mine.
Fu Qinghai's Force Sense was fully activated, and while he carefully passed over various trip mines and booby traps, he smashed the camera hidden in the corner.
In fact, with the protective power of the power armor, the charge of general booby mines can be ignored directly. Even if he steps on it and explodes, it will not hurt Fu Qinghai at all. Unless it is an anti-tank mine, it is possible to break the defense, but who will do that? Anti-tank mines are installed in small mines.
Fu Qinghai was just being cautious and deliberately slowed down his speed to give perfect humans time to assemble and let Upton Dupont reach the depths of the mine first.
As long as the perfect human reincarnation was not stupid, he should have discovered his invasion at this moment.
Fu Qinghai walked in the mine holding the bolt gun without the extended barrel and sight. Facing the mines extending in all directions, Fu Qinghai exerted his hunting instinct engraved in the genes with white scars and occasionally used genetic detection. With the ability of nerves, he followed the most visited mine tunnels.
Fu Qinghai opened his active and passive perspective, and soon, the first perfect human reincarnation appeared in his sight.
In the gray-white outline picture through the eyepiece, behind a load-bearing wall at the corner of the mine tunnel, a figure carrying a huge rocket launcher moved there furtively.
The perspective picture was so clear that Fu Qinghai even determined the model of the weapon.
FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank guided missile.
Fu Qinghai steadily raised the gun body, adjusted the bolt gun to semi-automatic shooting mode, and aimed it at the load-bearing wall.
"clatter!"
A fist-sized hole appeared in the cement wall, and the entire upper body of the reincarnator behind the wall exploded.
First.
Fu Qinghai killed the first reincarnator and was waiting for the world of reincarnation to prompt him for assimilation points.
Reincarnation World prompts assimilation point rewards.
Perfect Human happens to be from the enemy camp, which is great.
Fu Qinghai was even more motivated for the next killing. Members of the same society would lock into the same camp when entering the world of reincarnation. If perfect humans were also from the Hydra plot line camp, Fu Qinghai also considered killing a few people first to establish his authority, and then The threat requires them to let Ron go along this route of fighting and negotiating at the same time.
After walking a few steps deeper, there was a fork in the road ahead. In the perspective screen, three reincarnations, armed with automatic weapons and grenades in their hands, were ambushing in the mine tunnel on the far left.
Fu Qinghai pulled out a rifle grenade from his waist and stuffed it into the grenade launcher hanging under the gun body.
"Click...bang!"
A black shadow was accurately projected into the mine tunnel.
"boom--"
Fiery flames erupted from the dark mine tunnel.
As soon as the perspective screen brightened, and when it resumed, all that was left in the mine tunnel were the broken corpses stuck on the inner wall of the tunnel.
…
In the laboratory deep in the mine, Mandel, a curly-bearded man, looked at the large screen in front of him with cold eyes.
One-third of the screen in the entire monitoring room has been darkened.
Wherever the giant white-armored warrior went, he destroyed the surveillance.
"Where are the people from the law enforcement team?"
Mandel turned around and asked.
A man who looked like an assistant replied:
"The law enforcement team sent three groups of people over, and they were all... dead."
Mandel said displeasedly:
"Are all the people in the law enforcement team idiots? Although I don't know where they came from, these heavily armored humanoid tanks are directly equipped with anti-tank missiles and individual rocket launchers."
The assistant looked at Mandel carefully and said:
"What they brought were anti-tank missiles, Javelin, Stinger, RPG, expensive and cheap ones."
At this moment, in the surveillance screen, this tall white-armored warrior, as if he was predicting the future, turned around and shot through two sniper teams hiding behind several support pillars carrying Barrett anti-material sniper rifles.
His firearm was so powerful that one bullet penetrated and broke several support pillars, and then shattered two reincarnations one behind the other.
What's going on... Curly-bearded Mandel frowned and thought.
When did a perfect human provoke such a powerful technological warrior?
Even going to Earth-36, the Marvel comic universe, to seek revenge?
The Perfect Human Family has a great cause and has made many enemies in the entire world of reincarnation. It has offended so many people that it is difficult for him to count them, and Mandel can't even remember them for a moment.
Mandel didn't think about the symbiote host deep in the mine. He didn't know the existence of the ghost child, and he didn't know what other channels that guy could use to deliver news.
At this time, in the mine tunnel, the enemy seemed to be aware of Fu Qinghai's clairvoyance ability, and began to hide in thicker tunnels, or directly build fortifications on the spot, and set up a posture to shoot at Fu Qinghai.
Fu Qinghai killed another Samsara who was squatting behind a concrete bunker and trying to launch individual missiles at him.
Either using perspective to kill quietly, or simply, Fu Qinghai's nerve reaction speed was faster than his, and he took aim first and pulled the trigger.
As he passed the body, he glanced at the weapon on his shoulder.
FIM-92 "Stinger" individual air defense missile.
Are you planning to use anti-vehicle weapons against me?
It is true that the defensive power of Astartes is equivalent to that of a humanoid tank, but the movement speed, reaction ability, agility and flexibility of Astartes are completely incomparable to that of a sluggish tank.
too weak.
Fu Qinghai shook his head and pulled the gun bolt with a "click" in his hand.
How could it be so weak?
He could feel that these reincarnations of perfect human beings were very rich, and they had assimilated dozens of all kinds of American equipment in service, but what was the use of just having money? Can you play around in the world of reincarnation if you have money?
Why isn't there even a person with super powers?
Fu Qinghai had heard Zhang Yuning and Upton Dupont mention perfect human beings before, and the tone suggested that they should be a large-scale society of reincarnators with a large organization, tyranny and great reputation.
But now it seems that the strength of its members does not match their fame and status.
Fu Qinghai felt that the reincarnation society in name only would not be able to survive in the reincarnation world for long. The other party might have other changes or might have some back-up plan.
…
At the same time, in the monitoring room deep in the mine, curly-bearded Mandel could no longer stand the white-armored soldiers approaching the laboratory step by step.
He grabbed a walkie-talkie and shouted into it:
"Edgar, don't worry about that bullshit symbiote, bring your people back right away and come to the laboratory!"
After yelling, Mandel lowered his head and took two steps back and forth, angrily clenched his fists and waved his hands:
"Farke, Farke, Farke!"
"Now anyone dares to sit on the head of a perfect person and shit. If our X-gene hadn't disappeared on M-Day, where would it be for these guys to be so rampant!"
After scolding, he said to the assistants around him:
"Edgar may not be reliable either. Wear a gas mask, put on a closed chemical protective suit, open all the exhaust fans and gas tank valves, and let's poison the guy with Tabun gas."
An assistant reminded:
"Sir, if the poison gas is released, all the test subjects in the culture tank will die."
"Why do you care about this now? Why don't you just do it!"
After saying that, Mandel found that all his assistants were stunned on the spot, with frightened expressions on their faces, motionless. Mandel was about to get angry and curse, but suddenly, a bolter with a slightly hot muzzle was pressed against his head.
It's him!
The curly-bearded man quickly raised his hands:
"I vote..."
"boom!"
The head exploded.
"unnecessary."
Fu Qinghai's cold voice came from the loudspeaker.
Fu Qinghai could accept the enemy's surrender in order to extract more benefits when it was ensured that the enemy was gone, but now the primary purpose was to rescue Ron.
According to the information Zhang Yuning brought, the strongest reincarnation of the perfect human race - "Jerome" - was always a sharp sword hanging over Fu Qinghai's head, leaving him no time to repeatedly fight with these people. By the way, it must be resolved quickly.
Mandel's headless body fell, and several assistants in white coats around looked at this scene, all of them were trembling and did not dare to say a word.
Fu Qinghai pointed to a circle of equipment and gas tanks around him and asked:
"what are these?"
"It's...it's the ventilation equipment and oxygen supply equipment in the mine."
An assistant in a white coat said tremblingly.
Fu Qinghai put down the bolt gun and placed it on the equipment. Just when several white coats relaxed slightly, thinking that he was going to capture them, Fu Qinghai suddenly pulled out the power knife from his waist.
There was a flash of white light, and four heads rolled to the ground.
"You don't need to tell me, I can understand it."
Fu Qinghai whispered to himself.
After everyone in this section of the mine was dead, Fu Qinghai put down his weapons and began to study the equipment here.
This was a temporary laboratory. It did not have the complicated security measures as in the Hydra base. Fu Qinghai quickly browsed the contents of the laboratory computer and immediately understood the research content of this laboratory.
The X genes from mutants in other reincarnation worlds are implanted into the recipients through special methods. First, it is seen whether the recipients can survive. After surviving, they are then subjected to various physical methods such as beatings, abuse, hypoxia, and disability. Means, or some chemical means of hormones and drugs, to stimulate the awakening of the X gene in the body.
Looks familiar, right?
That's right, in the first movie "Deadpool", Wade Winston Wilson was deceived by the villain under the guise of curing cancer. He went through this process and gained the self-healing ability from Wolverine after going through hardships. Becoming Deadpool.
There is a similar plot in "Wolverine 3: The Last Stand", the last independent Wolverine movie.
There are many people on the earth who naturally carry the X gene, but they never show superpower mutant traits throughout their lives. Therefore, if you want to become a mutant, you still need a process of stimulating awakening. The method of Professor Science is gentle and step-by-step, while the methods used by the villains are very simple and crude.
The movie "Deadpool" is loyal to the plot of the original comic book, and "Wolverine: The Last Stand" is also adapted from the comic book "The Lost Wolf". In both movies and comics, plots of stealing and utilizing the X-gene through biochemical technology are very common. , so it is not difficult to imagine the source of technology for perfect humans.
Fu Qinghai removed three hard drives used by Perfect Humans to store experimental data and research materials from the chassis.
This is the biggest gain from this operation...oh, the biggest gain besides saving Ron.
Fu Qinghai, as a technological reincarnation person and a technical sergeant Astartes who has "Tony Stark's electronic soul backup" in his mind, these scientific research materials are far more valuable to him than assimilation points.
As I have made clear before, Fu Qinghai himself will not touch the X gene.
Because the X gene is certainly powerful, Omega-level mutants such as Dark Phoenix, Magneto, Hope, and Storm are all powerful beings. In a sense, they are more worthy of the role of "demigods" than the Primarchs in Warhammer 40K. name, but the X gene also has many disadvantages and is very fatal.
The occurrence of M-Day in the main universe of 616 is an example.
In "Wolverine: The Last Stand", the villain used genetically modified food technology to integrate the gene fragments that eliminate the X gene into various genetically modified crops, so that mutants will no longer be born naturally in the world. In various other comic universes, there are a hundred ways for mutants to be exterminated en masse.
The X gene is very strong, but also very dangerous.
Although Fu Qinghai wouldn't touch it himself, it didn't mean that he couldn't stock up on technical information related to the X gene.
Just like the Mechanicum's attitude toward technological archaeology: it doesn't matter whether it's a Coca-Cola production line or a panacea production line, as long as it's an STC template, all comers are welcome, and the more the better.
Even if it is to better deal with the reincarnators of the mutant genre in the future, it is worth studying.
Moreover, Fu Qinghai, who has an in-depth understanding of the X-Men comic series, also knows that these X-gene modification surgeries that appear to appear frequently in various movie versions actually originate from the same scientific research project-the X Weapon Project.
The financial and technical support and the masterminds behind the Weapon X program in all different movie company versions actually come from the same company and the same person.
Perfect human beings are just imitating others.
After taking away all the research materials from the Perfect Human Mine Laboratory, Fu Qinghai looked at the console next to the instruments and equipment.
Just now, Fu Qinghai had understood what these gas storage tanks were through the appearance of the equipment and the information in the computer.
The last insurance and guarantee arranged by Perfect Humanity for the Mine Laboratory.
Gas storage tanks filled with various toxic gases are connected to ventilation ducts and ventilation equipment throughout the underground mine passages.
It is used not only to defend against enemies, but also as a chemical agent to stimulate the awakening of test subjects.
Looking at the names on the gas storage tanks again, there are sarin gas, tabun gas, mustard gas and diphosgene.
They are poisonous gases that can be activated by direct contact with the skin, and even ordinary gas masks are useless.
Well guys, the Death Guard and Mortarion are on speaking terms. Fu Qinghai sighed in his heart.
The Death Guard is the Space Marine Legion that is best at biological and chemical warfare, and Mortarion is its primarch. The back of a power armor is filled with various poison gas canisters, and the old guy sucks the poison gas as oxygen.
But it is a pity that for Fu Qinghai, who has a fully enclosed power armor and a breathing valve, not to mention that they were killed before they could release the poison gas. Even if the poison gas was released, it would not affect Fu Qinghai's swaggering to the laboratory. Beat them all to death.
It's a completely useless move against Space Marines.
Fu Qinghai came to the laboratory behind the computer room. Sections of the mine tunnels here were divided into different functions, such as culture rooms, dissection rooms, morgues, incinerators, etc.
Fu Qinghai walked into the culture room. Most of the experimenters here were dead, leaving only two women still soaking in large culture tanks and a man who had been tortured to the point of dying.
Fu Qinghai operated the equipment button to wake up the two naked women in the culture tank, then untied the scarred man's hands and feet on the electric chair, and said loudly:
"I don't know who you are, and I don't care, but you are all free now. Get out of here. I'm going to destroy it."
The man took a deep look at Fu Qinghai, as if to remember the appearance of his armor. He endured the pain and knelt down on one knee to salute Fu Qinghai. Without saying a word, he turned around and limped out of the mine. .
After the two women thanked Fu Qinghai, they supported each other and left.
After releasing the test subjects captured by perfect humans, Fu Qinghai came to a dark mine tunnel, which was the passage leading deeper into the mine.
He thought for a moment: It's been so long, Ron and Upton should have left.
Fu Qinghai combined the construction data in the computer, carefully observed and studied the support structure of the mine, obtained some missiles and explosives from the dead reincarnations, and combined them with his own grenade launcher, he blew up the entire tunnel in a few blows.
"boom--"
The entire passage was buried in rubble and sand.
Returning to the control room, Fu Qinghai opened the exhaust valve of the gas storage tank in sequence, then adjusted the power of the ventilation fan to the maximum to transport all the poisonous gas deep into the sealed mine.
Before entering the laboratory, Fu Qinghai heard the curly-bearded man seeming to say that the mine was more complex and deeper, and that they also had the elite fighting force of perfect humans.
Fu Qinghai is not the kind of so-called martial arts idiot who insists on challenging his enemies one by one. He is not interested in what the enemies he has never met look like, what superpowers they have, or what weapons they use.
Fu Qinghai is a consequentialist. He has no obsession with killing the enemy face to face. As long as he can achieve his goal, he doesn't care what method is used.
Fu Qinghai thought, if a plastic ghost child and a symbiote host are not afraid of poisonous gas, then I will simply seal the mine and fill it all with poisonous gas.
So, he set the air storage tank to be transported inward, and then pushed the output power of the ventilation fan to the maximum. Fu Qinghai patted his butt and walked away, leaving the mine laboratory directly.
…
Three minutes ago, deep in the mine, a blond man led five men, holding flamethrowers and searchlights, searching in the dark and complex mine.
A subordinate came up and said:
"Master Edgar, Master Mandel urges us to return to the laboratory quickly."
The blond man named Edgar impatiently kicked the gravel beside the mine and cursed:
"Damn it, every time I'm about to catch that guy, these losers are going to get into trouble and mess with me, damn it!"
Having said that, he also knew which was more important, so he no longer continued to explore deeper to collect the net, but led his men to start returning the same way.
There was a long distance leading to the upper laboratory. Edgar was walking when he suddenly sniffed and stopped.
The blond man asked:
"Do you smell anything strange?"
After hearing this, several of his subordinates stopped and began to sniff sharply.
"Did the gas leak somewhere?"
"Idiot, why didn't we smell it when we came down?"
Only Edgar, the more he smelled it, the more he felt something was wrong. His expression suddenly changed, and he thought of the gas tanks in Mandel's laboratory.

Thanks to book friend 2021*9169, Zanghai 6666, and Brother Astartes for the reward.
Congratulations to Brother Astartes for becoming the Master of this book. This ID is so appropriate for the occasion. I'm even considering whether the protagonist's warband should be called the Scythe and Hammer Chapter in the future.
