Deep in the Living

Chapter 28 Props
The squad leader first makes a decision on compensation.
"My family definitely didn't allow me to take unnecessary risks before going to school.
I choose the first one. Anyway, this thing has no expiration date. If something goes wrong with my body one day, I can directly replace it with a precision prosthesis for free, which is also very good."

“I choose the first one too.”

Gao Yuxuan also pointed at the first one. His left arm was originally a prosthesis, and it was a very ordinary one. If it was damaged or had problems in the future, he could go directly to the Research Bureau to replace it with a better precision prosthesis.

Currently, many talents joining companies or institutions are also adopting cyborgization. This technology does not require any risk and can be effectively used to deal with various abnormal events.

Most importantly, Gao Yuxuan is well aware that he is not a "genius" and cannot take extra risks at his current age.

It was Anna's turn to make a choice, and she was not interested in the prosthesis at all.

After all, her family is an absolute carnivore community with a tradition of worshipping original flesh. In her opinion, flesh is not necessarily worse than metal.

As for the quota or cash provided by the Research Bureau, she didn't really need it.
There are only four options left.
"Can I accept your suitability test first, and if it's not suitable, then choose other compensation?"

"of course can."

The last one left, Rody, crossed his hands and rested his chin. He knew very little about this kind of props. But after the accident in practice, he really needed something, something special enough to ensure that he could handle it himself next time he encountered a similar accident.

"If I choose the fourth option, can I choose a tool for [Exorcism], or can I use it to deal with anomalies without a physical body?"

"some."

"Then I choose the fourth one."

After Luo Di made his choice, Director Wang rubbed the tip of his nose gently with his fingers.

"I'm sorry that I didn't tell you clearly in advance, but we only have one "entry-level" prop.

Now that both of you have made your choices, we will immediately conduct a compatibility test here.
Whoever is more suitable will get the right to own the item."

"it is good!"

Anna didn't really need it, but she was very happy to have the opportunity to compete with Rody, and she even started to show off her biceps.

After a short wait, a staff member came in with a fully sealed metal square box.

The monitor and Gao Yuxuan subconsciously moved their chairs back, and even Anna leaned back a little.

Director Wang also explained: "Don't worry, since the 'props' can be brought here, we have naturally processed them in advance, and there is no radioactive impact."

The metal box is opened.
There is also a transparent glass container with a special structure inside, and the so-called "props" are enclosed inside the container.

When the props were revealed, everyone present was stunned.

They were not unfamiliar with this thing at all. They could even faintly smell a familiar stench, which brought their thoughts back to the hillside outside the city a few days ago.

A head was placed in it,

[Rotation], [Evil], [Suture], [Degeneration]

It was the zombie head that was killed by everyone's cooperation during the practice. It was later cut into four pieces by Roddy and has now been repaired by the Research Bureau.

The glass container that holds the head is not completely closed. There is a funnel-like opening at the top, which leads directly to the mouth of the zombie head through an internal pipe.

"We are lucky. Although you destroyed the head, the most critical part, the pituitary gland, is intact.

Normally, the institute would completely repair this zombie and continue to use it in future simulations. But considering your excellent performance and the factors I mentioned earlier, I decided to give you the "pituitary gland" of this thing. "

The squad leader took the initiative to ask: "Is there any information about the origin and year of this zombie?"

"of course."

Director Wang once again took out a piece of information from his inner lining, which even came with a black-and-white headshot similar to an ID photo.

----

Name: Li Xuantong

Age: 46 years old

Overview of his life: He once immigrated as a carpenter, and now has no proper job. He works as a fortune teller in various areas of Jupiter City. At the age of 45, he was diagnosed with a late-stage brain tumor. Under extreme shock and hopelessness in life, [Mind Corner] appeared at this time.

Corner life: 0.4 years (camouflage stage)

Fear incarnation (alienation): Zombies

Capture and Utilization:
Any patient diagnosed with a terminal illness will be placed on a watch list, with daily monitoring of this group strengthened and more frequent and accurate psychological testing.

This person was found to be abnormal during the thirteenth test and was killed while trying to escape. The body was transported back to the Jupiter City Research Bureau and used for simulation practice after being modified. The corresponding event difficulty ranged from three to five stars.

----

The monitor quickly scanned the abnormal file and gave her conclusion:

"A 'fake person' who has been in existence for less than half a year is considered to be of the most basic level of abnormality. The strength of this type of fake person is not much higher than that of an ordinary person. He was exposed after only four months of disguise. This guy is really not that good.

The corresponding "entry-level" props are also more suitable for newcomers, minimizing risks.

However, this person had a brain tumor when he was born with a mind corner, maybe there is a certain linkage effect? ​​Will the risk be increased because of this? "

Director Wang nodded and said, "You are right. His disease has a certain impact on the pituitary gland where the [Thinking Corner] appears, so that his "fear embodiment" is more complete than that of ordinary pseudo-people, but it is also easier to be exposed.

It is extremely rare that a zombie can be created in just four months. It also has very good physical strength and cannot be killed by ordinary 9mm bullets.

As for the danger, we have already tested it. Although the "pituitary gland" also has certain carcinogenic properties, this property is not contagious. Instead, it will help to form external-use props.

You two, get ready to start the compatibility test. "

The sterilized scalpel was handed to Rody and Anna by the staff.
"The test method is very simple. Drop your fingertip blood into the zombie head's mouth. Only one drop is allowed. The device will display the zombie head's activity index. The higher the index, the more suitable it is."

"I'll do it first~"

Anna was the first to arrive. She cut her finger and dripped the blood into the funnel at the top of the container.

As blood flows along the internal tubes into the zombie's mouth,

The expected "resurrection" scene did not happen, but less than an inch of flesh and blood grew at the corner of the cracked mouth, and two more hairs grew.
At the same time, a numerical value emerges on the surface of the container.

【63.2】

The value is yellow, which means it just passes and can be adapted.

"not bad."

As Director Wang reset the container, Luo Di also cut his finger and blood dripped.

There was no reaction when the blood flowed into the head, but the relevant values ​​were not displayed for a long time. Director Wang raised his hand to signal everyone to wait patiently.

About a minute later,

Ka~ha!
The zombie's jaw suddenly loosened, and the entire head actually took a deep breath, as if it was coming back to life.

But because there was only one drop of blood, the sign of recovery quickly faded, and the relevant values ​​finally showed up.

【91.2】

Green indicates excellence.

"Congratulations!" Anna felt relieved when she saw that her score was higher than hers.

Director Wang pinched his nose and said, "Sure enough, in the entire practice process, you spent the most time and had the most contact with zombies, and you killed the zombies. You were also infected by the zombie poison. The [Thinking Corner] in the zombie's brain was also quietly observing you.

If the adaptation value can reach above 90, it will be easy to accept and it will be easier to bring out the performance of the props. "

"What's next?"

Rody asked the question eagerly, with a rare interest in his eyes.

Director Wang raised his hand to signal the staff beside him to take out something that had been prepared long ago, a prop tightly wrapped in a special cloth.

When we started playing,
It was the "machete" that Rody used to kill zombies during the practice.

“Original soup turns into original food… If you want to combine other items with this zombie pituitary gland, that’s fine too, but the combination efficiency won’t be as good as this knife.

In addition, if the electric saw you have used is seriously damaged, you will need to wait a few days for repair. It’s up to you to choose.

If you choose this knife, we can start now."

"That's it."

Rody stared at the machete that had accompanied him through practice and was the same model as the one used by the character in the movie. His mind had already begun to imagine what the final blade would look like.
