Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 424 The Laboratory's Security Force—Ancient Metal Horde

Since being taken over by someone, NESTS' organizational philosophy has completely changed.

They manipulate genes, disregard human ethics, modify bodies, and monitor fighters. Although their actions are not as blatant as Yingluo's, they are still birds of a feather.

The reason why they seemed to back down during the day was simply because the timing was wrong, they lacked manpower, and Cheng Tian himself was a deterrent.

However, everyone knows the principle of "it's easy to fish in troubled waters," so it's not surprising that NESTS chose to strike when Shadow Raiders attacked the Labs.

Cheng Tian had already considered this when Maxima left, so he wasn't too surprised to see Maxima now.

Maxima is a heavily cyborg, but since Cheng Tian did not use his precious "reputation change" privileges on him, he was theoretically only implanted with an unactivated Overlord puppet program.

As long as he is outside Cheng Tian's mental scanning radius, or if Cheng Tian does not activate the program, Maxima will continue to act according to the original behavioral logic program.

Upon discovering the large figure, Cheng Tian quietly activated the built-in puppet program and began reading Maxima's memories in their entirety.

Their objective this time differed from Yingluo's. Yingluo wanted to make Cheng Tian and his group pay a heavy price while also taking back Han Zhuli's left eye, while Yinchao's objective was not only the Feng Shui Engine, but also the super-powered gene reserves in the laboratory!
Therefore, in addition to Maxima, who was tasked with forcefully breaking through barriers, the cyborgs sent this time were all highly agile and mentally sharp individuals skilled in deciphering codes and plundering resources.

Even the supervisor in charge of matters related to the current region decided to join the effort.

After all, there is still a possibility of encountering Shadow Luo here. Maxima alone is not strong enough, and if an unexpected situation occurs, they will not be able to buy more time for evacuation.

It doesn't matter if someone gets hurt, but we absolutely have to bring the data and the feng shui engine back with us!

Furthermore, even without reading Maxima's memory information, Cheng Tian could tell from the silhouette alone that the mid-level executive from NESTS who came with him was a man named "Kurichadu".

A guy who thinks he is K's original self, but is actually a clone of K'.

The appearance of this guy really surprised Cheng Tian. He then realized that in 97, Gulichalidu was already working as a middle-level manager at NESTS.

At this time, K and Kula should theoretically also be in the process of being nurtured and modified, but due to the lack of the Kusanagi Fire gene, they are currently stuck at the stage of being granted superpowers.

However, due to the significant expansion and changes in the world view, fighters from different works and dimensions have flocked to the NESTS team, causing them to suffer from decision paralysis to some extent. At least, Kusanagi no Hi is no longer the only option.

Cheng Tian deliberately exposed the bait through the live broadcast: the super-powered gene that should only be used on dinosaurs, which naturally entered the field of vision of NESTS.

NESTS seems completely unconcerned about the restriction that "it can only be used on dinosaurs," stating that the deaths in human experiments are necessary sacrifices on the path to creating the perfect life form.

However, while they were spying on the laboratory, Cheng Tian was also spying on them.

"Since you came wearing a power suit knowing I need the power suit technology... then be prepared to go home naked."

Cheng Tiancang, who was in charge of the laboratory, rubbed his hands together, his eyes burning with desire.

Because this Gulichali was wearing a suit of enhanced combat equipment incorporating NESTS technology... the most basic kind.

One must eat one bite at a time, and do things one step at a time. Krizalid's battle suit is indeed the one with the lowest technological content among the NESTS battle suits currently in use. Not only does it not have any attribute bonuses, but it also cannot even unleash a "super special move" without inputting fighter data.

But precisely because it is the most basic, it means that this thing has the potential to be further expanded. Moreover, its encryption is not high, making it easy to be imitated or mass-produced. On the contrary, those high-combat suits may have restrictions such as gene lock binding.

Given the nature of the Chosen Space, those high-powered combat suits will most likely only be obtainable through treasure chests if the user lacks the relevant technology.

However, with the NESTS appearing amidst the chaos, Cheng Tian's manpower became somewhat stretched thin. "It's up to you, Utan."

Cheng Tian patted Wu Tan on the shoulder, and Wu Tan simply responded with an OK sign, then began to fly across the two keyboards with both hands and feet.

[The "Portable Lab" has been detected as being under attack by an external enemy.]

The portable lab's security contract has been activated, and the security department head, "Utan (part-time)," has authorized the activation of the lab's defense mechanisms.

The "Ancient Metal Horde," a guardian beast troop, is currently being activated.

Along with the completion of the Hammond Innovation Lab, a storage area was also expanded in the underground area. The moment the security contract was activated, a row of lights lit up in the dark underground storage area, and the ground hidden under the grass green also slowly opened.

The keen-eared intruder could faintly hear a series of crisp and heavy footsteps.

Utan's ancient metal beast manufacturing is actually somewhat similar to "goblin engineering." It can create unique metal dinosaur-shaped combat vehicles that can be driven and sold within the rules and restrictions.

Since it is a combat vehicle, it naturally cannot escape the basic rule that "only one auxiliary combat vehicle can be summoned at a time".

However, Cheng Tian chose to take a different approach, shifting the responsibility of "security supervisor" onto Wu Tan.

In this way, Utan could use security contracts to place his own ancient metal beasts into the contracts under the guise of "security personnel" or "guardian beasts."

This approach would mean that these ancient metal beasts could only exist in conjunction with the establishment of the laboratory, and could only be activated when they encountered danger or needed to protect the area.

But its advantage lies in—

These ancient metal beasts are not subject to the rule that "only one can be summoned to assist in battle at a time"!

Before he could really experiment with his own skills, Wu Tan would naturally practice on dinosaurs first. Naturally, Cheng Tian's Hundred Dragon King became Wu Tan's practice template.

One after another, a total of 15 colorful metallic velociraptors, metallic pachycephalosaurus, and metallic pterosaurs emerged from the basement and quickly marked all friend and foe markers within the laboratory area.

Agility, strength, air superiority, and cost were the main reasons why Utan chose these three dinosaurs.

Guided by Cheng Tian, ​​the dinosaurs charged headlong toward the location of the Nest members.

"Dinosaur!?"

Gulichali stared in astonishment at the ancient giant lizards before him, but he soon noticed the metallic sheen on these dragons.

However, what happened next made his eyes widen even more.

The leading metallic velociraptor, noticeably larger than its surrounding counterparts, transformed right in front of NESTS—

After a dazzling and ingenious transformation, the metal velociraptor turned into a humanoid form wielding a whip sword!
"Human, get out! This is the boss's private property!"

The velociraptor warriors, who used precious Kelalia ore as their main manufacturing material, bared their teeth and issued a strong order to expel Kuliza and his men.
