Chosen Evolution: I can load the protagonist template

Chapter 534 The Nest Organization: Those Who Know When to Adversity Are Wise

Protected by the rules of the game, the main arena of the King of Fighters tournament, which has maintained its framework for the time being, has entered a period of rest and recovery.

The bloodthirsty audience members were not dissatisfied at all because they almost went to hell with Hell Band; on the contrary, they gave rave reviews.

I actually witnessed a scene where even dying for the ticket would be worth the price of admission.

The fighters and players who participated in the battle were also sent to the hospital for treatment one by one under the orderly arrangement of the organizers.

Anyway, judging from the current situation, the final battle originally scheduled between the Olliri team and the Neon team will definitely not take place. Although there were no major deaths, there were also quite a few survivors.

After this ordeal, the competition schedule has surprisingly returned to normal.

Logically speaking, the King of Fighters '97 storyline, which already had the addition of the MUGEN entry, was already completely different. Cheng Tian's intervention further ensured that the three Sacred Treasures' heirs completed the sealing of the Orochi clan before they could actually make a move.

Apart from the half-dead Leona and the badly wounded Iori Yagami, all the holders of Orochi's blood have been eliminated.

Moreover, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it is unlikely that Orochi and those associated with him will have another chance to be resurrected.

After all, the tribal leader and several heads were taken away by Cheng Tian, ​​so it would probably be quite difficult for them to come back to life unconditionally like Rugal.

Cheng Tian also needs to organize and sort out a lot of things, not only the dropped items, but also the blood residue extracted from the giant snake's body, which is a very useful special material.

Cheng Tian knew that in the future timeline of The King of Fighters, an organization had indeed successfully obtained the Orochi material, which was of questionable quality and whether it should be called genetic material, and used it to create the Orochi bio-weapon called "Jiao".

Those god clones, which are neither human nor non-human and created by human hands, will also be one of the future research directions that Cheng Tian, ​​or rather, he set for Wu Tan, to pursue.

Utan said that the already sparse hair on his head was really taking its toll...

In fact, when Cheng Tian was sucking the blood of his companions, he was also somewhat hoping that some players would be driven by greed and try to do something.

But in reality, he was overthinking it.

Even those who actually had this idea were terrified by what Cheng Tian had shown them.

They are not the ignorant kings and subjects of a Dragon Quest-like world. A hero who can kill the Demon King is even more dangerous than the Demon King. Players can only express their deep confusion as to why these people choose to bully and exclude the hero because they are afraid of his strength upon his return.

This is a result of the "bullying the strong" mentality unique to Japanese society being reflected in the work.

The players who survived by simply playing passively didn't have the idea of ​​killing Cheng Tian to loot his equipment. Instead, they panicked, and some even ran away before accepting any healing.

They were afraid that Cheng Tian, ​​the old man from the Iron Fish Space, would choose to eliminate all witnesses on a large scale in order to cover up the spread of information; in their view, Cheng Tian certainly had the ability to do so.

This is not some kind of persecution complex, but rather a scene that is playing out every moment in countless copies of the Chosen Space.

The majority of people say "I don't eat beef".

Cheng Tian is not that kind of person, and he doesn't care about his information being exposed.

For Cheng Tian, ​​the more others know, the greater the chance of misjudging him when they meet again.

His speed of updating and iterating will always exceed others' imagination.

Exhausted both physically and mentally, Cheng collapsed to the ground and, as usual, began to review the situation and analyze the subsequent developments. As the final boss of the current scenario, Orochi's defeat already signified the end of the main storyline, and the final showdown with the Neon team was essentially just a formality.

This also means that there isn't much more to explore in this scenario.

NESTS's combat suit system, the escaped Seth, the blood of the Qin brothers... these are probably all that's left, right?
The blood of the Qin brothers is relatively easy to obtain, but Seth's is not so easy to obtain, and the NESTS battle suit is probably the most difficult to obtain.

After all, the mastermind behind NESTS is still trying to become the strongest creature in outer space. After losing Gricharidor and Maxima, they probably won't show themselves easily again, right?
However, to Cheng Tian's surprise, people from the NESTS organization came that very evening.

Moreover, the person who came this time was theoretically the highest-ranking executive in the NESTS organization, second only to the mastermind behind the scenes!
"ZERO..."

The moment Cheng Tian saw the newcomer, it was as if he were witnessing a Specter appearing with a pet.

That armor, that long dress, that white hair, that aura—no wonder he's the mid-game boss who only officially debuted in "The King of Fighters 2001"—True Zero.

Based on NESTS' previous practices, when the real ZERO appeared near the laboratory with his men, the metal dragons swarmed out and surrounded ZERO and his subordinates. ZERO's response was straightforward.

"I am ZERO, the highest executive of NESTS."

I've come here with good intentions, intending to make a deal with your boss. I guarantee he'll be satisfied this time.

ZERO, who should have remained dormant for another four years, made his official debut. Surprisingly, the proud CEO of NESTS not only attended the event in person but also displayed considerable humility.

This is not a pretense, but ZERO's genuine feelings.

His emotional state is quite complex. Because he believes that "might makes right," that only NESTS can create true "superior humans," and that ordinary fighters are just "remnants of the old era," he has a high opinion of himself and a condescending attitude towards most humans.

But it was precisely because of this extreme belief that he revealed another side of himself to Cheng Tian.

Although NESTS had been lying low, it also had a large number of spies active on the scene. These spies, who were originally stationed in the arena to take advantage of the chaos to kidnap some seriously injured fighters as cloning materials, were very dedicated and reported everything that happened in the arena.

During the time Cheng Tiangan the Great Serpent was in action, the NESTS satellite in the sky was also operating in real time and was connected to the organizer's live broadcast signal, so in a sense, NESTS could see the signal more clearly than the audience.

The image of Cheng Tian clearly shows that he is a true advanced human being... even possessing everything that only "gods" would have. Under the influence of the idea that power is justice, ZERO's attitude towards Cheng Tian naturally becomes humble.

Led into the meeting room and facing Cheng Tian, ​​ZERO got straight to the point and casually pushed a laptop that was clearly ahead of its time in front of Cheng Tian.

"Here are all the data for the low, medium, and high-level combat suits."

Immediately afterward, the three cyborgs picked up three boxes and opened them in front of Cheng Tian and the others.

"These are the three types of combat suits currently available from our company."

"In exchange for these finished products, we only want one thing..."

ZERO took a deep breath and then spoke with a slightly feverish tone.

"The giant snake's genetic material!"
