Dream Travel

Chapter 228 Taking the bait
The situation was somewhat unexpected, but the results exceeded expectations, and overall it was a good thing.

Anyway, for Beatrice, her mission was accomplished. Let these modified monsters continue to run rampant, and the person behind them will definitely be pushed out to clean up the mess.

"What you made is so useful, but won't it hurt innocent people?" Brand returned with lingering fear.

He initially planned to deal with the big guy first, but the potion was so effective that a riot broke out before he had even finished spraying a bottle of alchemical potion.

"Their loss of control stemmed from the collapse of the imbalance in the modification; most of the modified organisms don't live long."

Beatrice's words brought a slight sigh of relief to everyone present. It was good that way; otherwise, if these modified monsters had rushed into the capital, it would have truly been a nightmare for the cafeteria.

"However, when they attack each other, they may find a new balance due to mutual predation, resulting in stronger monsters."

Alchemy, while requiring stability, sometimes needs surprises. If we want to lure out the mastermind, destruction alone is not enough; we also need to bring a little surprise.

The same applies to the enemy.

Brand used the alchemical liquid preserved by Chelsea to conduct a blood test. The blood was a dark red, several times deeper in color than Leone's.

Brand smiled in relief: "The war will be almost over by then, and there won't be any chance to use the Imperial Arms."

"Hehehe, you're such an idealist." Beatrice didn't hesitate to pour cold water on the idea.

How could such useful equipment be abandoned just because the war is over?

It will be put back into use sooner or later.

“What will happen to Brand if we don’t use it?” Chelsea asked Beatrice.

"There will still be some unusual characteristics, but it's probably a good thing that it doesn't get worse," Beatrice said casually.

Brand's armor is a natural vessel for modification. The armor needs the host to be stronger and more adapted to itself, so it will 'modify' the wearer.

Stopping the renovation doesn't mean it's all bad; it just means you can't get all the benefits of the renovation.

But if you exercise restraint, there will still be benefits.

Of course, for those who are not strong enough, their bodies cannot withstand such continuous and subtle modifications, and they are likely to die.

"But I need to check the specifics."

“Then it’s better to find a more reliable doctor.” Chelsea didn’t want someone like Beatrice to examine her companion.

Even though Beatrice is now dominated by the white curtain.

……

Upon receiving news of the riot involving the modified creatures in the capital, Dr. Fashion immediately dispatched personnel to investigate the situation.

The confirmed results were worse than he had imagined: the modified organisms had been infected with a virus that caused them to go out of control, and these viruses were highly contagious—but had no effect on normal people.

"They've been targeted. When did the Revolutionary Army acquire such a skilled fighter?"

After examining the body of a cyborg, Dr. Fashion looked grave; he couldn't solve this virus for the time being.

However, uncontrolled modification of organisms can trigger a series of problems.

The treacherous faction now needs a large amount of controllable combat power to maintain its position. Ordinary soldiers are not as obedient as modified soldiers, and modified soldiers are not as strong as creatures that have undergone further modification.

The officials of conscience have not given up fighting against the treacherous officials, and the struggle between them has become fierce.

He ate with grease on his face, and all the resources he needed were available to him.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to lavishly create so many creatures similar to super-dangerous species.

With their enormous size and the weapons they carry, they can fight even super dangerous species, but this thing is starting to go out of control.

This is terrible. If this problem isn't resolved quickly, he will definitely be held accountable by those treacherous officials.

"Phew, what a nuisance. If it weren't for these people..." Dr. Fashion sighed. He couldn't stand watching those utterly insane treacherous officials anymore.

It's not about their actions, but their desperate struggle. The more they gain now, the more miserable their death will likely be once the treacherous minister's ship sinks.

It's time to look for an opportunity to break away, but we need to solve this problem first.

Otherwise, before he could even escape, the power held by the treacherous officials would be completely dismantled, and then the officials of conscience would carry out a purge, making it difficult for him to escape even if he didn't die.

He can only escape if the treacherous officials and the officials of conscience continue to fight each other, so that they don't have time to pay too much attention to him.

As for where to go? There are too many to list; you can find many new continents just by going out to sea.

With his abilities, he could make a name for himself anywhere.

"Let me see these viruses... Huh? They actually have this kind of effect?" Dr. Fashion, who was working hard to conduct research, made a new discovery.

He discovered that when the modified organisms he created were infected, although they would break down and go out of control, they could continuously hunt their own kind to replenish themselves and eliminate the defective parts that caused the breakdown.

If you're lucky enough to completely eliminate all the flaws, you can actually become an even stronger modified being.

"Raising Gu?" While he was conducting further research, his subordinates brought new information: a special modified body had appeared outside the capital.

The enemy directly killed a large, modified dangerous species, and that modified entity was unaffected by the virus and could move freely within the infected area.

"A perfect individual has appeared so quickly?" Dr. Fashion felt it was somewhat unreal. "And we also discovered traces of Night Raid; they seem to be preparing to kill that 'dangerous species'."

Dr. Fashion's eyes narrowed: "We can't let them succeed!"

Although the empire is a dilapidated ship, he still wants to fight for it if there is a chance, after all, no matter how broken the empire is, it still controls a huge amount of resources.

If the empire can weather this crisis, who the hell can stop him from doing research in the future? Who dares to restrict him?
With sufficient resources, he could absolutely create equipment and modified versions comparable to the Imperial Arms.

And now we have the opportunity to pursue our goals further.

He plans to take matters into his own hands. As for the issue of the infected area, he has already made some progress in the past few days of research.

Although it was something he had never encountered before, the fact that it could infect living organisms was traceable. Even if he couldn't completely solve the problem, creating a drug that could suppress it was still possible.

Most importantly, he can personally intervene when necessary.

With ample resources, he has created many excellent products.

In critical moments, he can even transform himself into a super dangerous species, combining the power of a super dangerous species with his own intelligence.

Who could possibly stand against such power?

Upon arriving at the city walls of the capital, Dr. Fashion witnessed the rampaging Lucyella.

With a humanoid body and a strange cat head, it certainly resembles a monster, yet it also possesses human-like characteristics.

Dr. Fashion was greatly impressed.

This is definitely a modified organism, but whether a modified organism is perfect or not, its external appearance is also a great reference.

Crudely modified organisms are usually patched up and repaired.

It's not that we didn't want to remove those marks during the renovation, but rather that the compatibility issues caused by the renovation made those scratches or other marks difficult to remove.

The more perfectly a modified organism is, the fewer traces of this type of modification will be, because the modified parts have already been integrated into the main body.

Even if some parts resemble monsters, they appear to grow naturally on them, rather than being some kind of abnormal trace left behind.

There were no abnormal traces of modification left on Lucy's body.

In Dr. Fashion's eyes, this is a work of art; judging from the power it exudes, it is definitely a super dangerous species.

Moreover, this modified body can change shape at will, and sharp mouths can grow from the areas that are attacked to crush the attack.

A perfect physique, coupled with flawless defense and counterattacks—it's simply amazing.

"What about the military? We must capture this modified organism!!"

After observing for a while, Dr. Fashion couldn't resist any longer. He spotted the attackers through his binoculars; they were also waiting for their chance.

Once this modified entity has killed all the modified creatures it attracted, or is exhausted, it will remain in this state.

Lucyella attracted not only grunts, but also the large modified creatures that roamed the vicinity of the capital.

Those modified creatures are like mobile turrets; if they weren't equipped with those weapons, it wouldn't take Lucyella long to wipe them out.

However, those modified creatures were equipped with too many weapons, and after being targeted by concentrated fire, Luciela also felt somewhat passive.

The power of firearms should not be underestimated.

As for why these modified creatures gathered here like madmen, it was because of the new alchemical potion created by Atreus.

However, Dr. Fashion believes the reason is the emergence of a perfectly modified body.

Flawed modified creatures are attracted to perfect modified creatures, attempting to obtain their flesh and blood to compensate for their own deficiencies.

They're just a bunch of failures, not worthy of touching his perfect modified form!

The army had been waiting here for a long time, and with Dr. Fashion's support and sufficient resources, the army in the capital had already upgraded its equipment several times over.

There were a lot of heavy artillery emplacements, and even some armed like tanks.

His Imperial Arms allows him to manipulate biological materials with precision, and the same applies when creating other weapons.

Burning money can always create something great.

The prepared army opened fire, clearing out the mutated creatures that had been attracted.

Dr. Fashion has taken the bait, but the Night Raid team, who are keeping a close eye on the situation, are not in a good mood.

The weapons used by the soldiers in the capital are too dangerous. Although the revolutionary army also has new firearms, those weapons are mainly designed for individual combat.

Facing the artillery emplacements used by the capital's army, they would inevitably suffer more losses.

They've been suppressed in terms of range alone, but the capital has now demonstrated this power, so once a new plan is devised, they can still take precautions.

The most important thing right now is to take down Dr. Fashion. Once we kill him, the Empire's equipment upgrades should be able to stop.

Instead of being like a dying beast, capable of producing all sorts of unstable and dangerous firearms.
