From Cybernetics Repairman to God of Machines

"Boom!"

With a deafening roar, the central area of ​​the raiders instantly turned into a crimson zone.

Blood mixed with severed limbs fell from the sky.

Its power is more than double that of the previous high-explosive grenades!

The raiders were clearly terrified and tried desperately to escape, but Gu Cheng chased after them like a cheetah. In no time, the once sizable team was reduced to a pile of corpses!

As a prosthetic repairman, Gu Cheng's tolerance for severed limbs is already at the MAX level!

As for the psychological burden?

That's out of the question. Gu Cheng knows better than anyone what would happen if it fell into the hands of these guys!

Being beaten to death on the spot would be a blessing!

Next, it will be time to collect the spoils of war.

In the past, Gu Cheng might have been interested in these guys' equipment, but now, with the Mute Merchant Guild as a partner, his standards have obviously risen considerably!

"Rubbish!"

"Rubbish!"

"Still garbage!"

Gu Cheng kicked the shotgun away with a hint of disgust, his face revealing his undisguised disappointment.

However, he did make some mental preparations, after all, the raiders were notoriously poor and not accepted by the world, and had almost no way to obtain weapons except through plunder!

"I wonder if there's anything valuable in the car."

Gu Cheng looked at the vehicle damaged by the high-explosive grenade, walked over, and as he approached the car door, he raised an eyebrow and took out the Thunder Fang Dagger first.

His strong sixth sense allowed him to clearly hear heartbeats coming from inside the vehicle.

Although faint.

But it is definitely alive!

Gu Cheng opened the car door, his expression momentarily stunned.

Before him stood a young man, bound hand and foot and covered in blood.

Clearly, the other party had been hit by a hard object due to the blast wave from the high-explosive grenade, resulting in a cut near their eye and blood flowing down, soaking their entire cheek. Strangely, however, the other party remained expressionless!

In addition, the other party's clothing and appearance were completely out of place among the raiders.

He was dressed in a white outfit, looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with somewhat youthful features, and was bald.

Gu Cheng glanced at the back of the other person's head and saw a barcode printed on it!

"Fast-growing beings created within the sanctuary?"

This land is home to all sorts of forces.

However, for some reason, these forces chose different technology paths to develop!

Sanctuary.

This is a faction independent of shelters, towns, and raiders.

They firmly believe that mechanical civilization is a heresy that is hindering the progress of human development, and therefore vigorously develop flesh-and-blood embryos!

However, flesh and blood are far too weak on this land!

Radiation, mutated beasts, mechanical civilization, harsh environment!

A young adult who needs more than ten or even twenty years to grow up can often have their life taken away by an accident.

Therefore, the Sanctuary created the swift-growing beings.

It only takes 6-12 months from cell division to maturity.

The cost is that physiological lifespan is locked at 7-15 years, after which it will "go silent" due to the rapid failure of all organs.

Just like the guys in front of us, they had no childhood. Their consciousness was implanted into them during their mature years through neural imprinting technology, with basic skill sets, language modules, and an absolute obedience agreement to the "Sanctuary" directly implanted.

The most basic fast-growing type is called the wick type!

It is said that there are even more advanced fast-growing beings on this platform, some of whom are even capable of thinking like humans. However, given Gu Cheng's past achievements, he obviously cannot access such advanced beings!

Looking at the candle wick type in front of him, Gu Cheng had seen some before!

In this wasteland, the Sanctuary is the biggest slave trader!

In certain elite circles, young, fast-growing individuals are highly sought after. The Sanctuary will even use its own technology to customize fast-growing individuals according to the buyer's requirements.

Height, appearance, and even temperament can be implanted!

In any case, their memories are just a string of code that can be changed at any time!

Some guys even commission a complete family, then impersonate robbers to humiliate and torture the female members, deriving a near-perverted sense of satisfaction from the male members' grief.

Compared to mechanical androids,

In a sense, apart from lifespan, fast-growing humans are essentially living, breathing human beings!

This is the wasteland!

Morality is like a lump of mud on the ground; anyone can step on it and stomp on it!

Perhaps only a few shelters can guarantee the most basic moral standards, but the price is that they live in secluded corners, completely isolated from the world!

Gu Cheng looked at the young man and asked, "Have you been kidnapped?"

The other person was still bleeding. Upon hearing the question, their expression finally changed slightly, but it was merely a simple tilt of their head before they spoke:

"collect!"

It's obvious that this guy isn't a high-end product!

Their purpose is to serve a certain sanctuary stronghold. This time, they may have come out on a scavenging mission and thus been captured by the raiders.

So, how should we deal with the other party?

And soon, Gu Cheng made a decision!

Just like the key the mole mentioned, perhaps the [Fast-Growing Humans] held by the Sanctuary are a kind of key!

"This is clearly a good subject for research."

Gu Cheng was briefly lost in thought.

But soon, his expression returned to normal.

Just now, he took over Mr. G's alternate account and gave Chen Xingyao a new instruction.

With the presence of the cleaner, access to the gates is obviously much easier.

The Cleaners do everything, and human trafficking is also a significant source of business for this organization!

Soon after receiving the order, Chen Xingyao arrived at the scene. Upon seeing the scattered remains of the raiders, Chen Xingyao and his group were clearly visibly afraid.

After all, a mass death scene of this magnitude can only be described as horrific!

But soon, Chen Xingyao realized what was happening and quickly ordered his men to pull the fast-growing body off the car, then drove back to Rust City.

In contrast, Gu Cheng, after confirming that the spoils of war had been successfully retrieved, also leisurely walked out from the side.

Today is the day to meet with the senior management of the Mute Merchant Guild, and Gu Cheng certainly won't forget it!

The more Gu Cheng understood the culture within the game world, the more he took it seriously!

In terms of the destructive power of weaker entities alone.

With the aid of weaponry, even weak gnomes can conquer troll-held territories!

However, in that world that truly possesses demigods, dragons, and legendary powerhouses, the level of power among the strong has virtually no upper limit!

The expansion of the dwarf territory is bound to attract a lot of attention, so before things get serious, Gu Cheng needs to find some powerful weapons that can rival legendary experts for his followers!

I don't mind if the price is a little higher.

The important thing is...

Worth the price!
