Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

"Really... What kind of unusual pollution is this? I don't feel any changes in my body."

All the orange-yellow liquid was injected into Wang Yu's body through the device. He murmured something and began to feel the changes brought about by the substance injected into his body.

A sudden, intense heat spread from my heart to every part of my body, my blood vessels widened, my muscles became congested, my breathing quickened, and my mind became exceptionally clear.

"I didn't say that this device can only be used to inject abnormal contaminants. Abnormal derivatives that are connected to you by blood and flesh can also be used to inject medicine without any problem. This is a temporary biological enhancer, which is to prepare for the formal injection of abnormal contaminants. This is the abnormal contaminant extract that you are given to use."

The doctor waved his hand with a slight smile, took the empty bottle from Wang Yu, and inserted a new liquid bottle into the device. The bottle was filled with a reflective liquid that looked like liquid metal and was slightly viscous.

"This is an abnormal contamination from the great being corresponding to the Mechanical Sea. I extracted it from a mechanized rat, and the dosage shouldn't be too much for you."

Without pressing the injection button for him, the doctor left the choice to Wang Yu: whether or not to use this device with obvious risks.

"Snap!"

The answer was obvious. Wang Yu excitedly pressed the injection button. The device made a soft sound, and the "liquid metal" in the bottle was injected into Wang Yu's body.

"Mutation start!"

A soft beep sounded as the device emitted a green light. The abnormal contamination began to take effect quickly after being injected into Wang Yu's body. The itching on his skin intensified, and the metallic texture gradually replaced the original material of Wang Yu's left arm.

"It seems that this dose of abnormal contamination is indeed within the safe range, enough to mechanize the abnormality in mice. For a complete human, it would only cause a change in the properties of the skin."

The doctor ran his finger across Wang Yu's metallic left arm. He was quite familiar with this texture. It was activated metal, the main material that made up the bodies of those mechanical life forms. The change was not deep, just enough to make Wang Yu's skin about five millimeters thick turn into this material.

"rub…"

He took a dagger from the workbench and gently pressed it against his metallic skin. The metallic skin dented like real skin, showing extremely toughness in the face of the sharp blade. Even a light cut couldn't leave a scratch.

"Sizzle..."

Gradually increasing the force, Wang Yu pulled the blade to the side the instant he felt the pain. Sparks flew, leaving a clear cut on the active metal surface, with tiny specks of bright red seeping out from inside—blood flowing from the unmetallized flesh.

"It has excellent protective capabilities. Just like normal skin, it can feel temperature, pain, and pressure. At the same time, like a real mechanical life form, this seemingly inorganic metallic skin can heal itself."

Without any treatment of the wound, the blood coagulated on its own after several tens of seconds, and there was no situation where the bleeding was uncontrollable and the wound was difficult to heal. Wang Yu evaluated the ability that this abnormal pollution had given him, and it could be said to be quite useful, providing extra defense without affecting his own activities.

"Wait a moment, the pollution is probably still spreading. We need to confirm whether another function of the steady-state dissimilarity catalyst is working properly."

The doctor collected and analyzed data on Wang Yu's changing body, signaling the other party to wait a moment, his eyes fixed on the metallic skin that was spreading from Wang Yu's left arm to more parts of his body.

As the metallic skin completely covered Wang Yu's left shoulder and gradually spread towards his neck and chest, the light emitted by the device on Wang Yu's left hand suddenly changed from green to red, and a piercing warning sound rang out.

"Out of Control Warning!"

The warning played continuously on a loop, and a bright, flashing red light illuminated Wang Yu's eyes as he looked at the device. Without hesitation, Wang Yu pressed the button on the device that corresponded to expelling abnormal pollution and inserted the empty bottle on the right into the slot on the left. The red light turned yellow, and the "liquid metal" that had been injected into Wang Yu's body was refilled into the bottle.

The empty bottle was filled with the abnormally contaminated extract, the light turned from yellow to green, and the metallic mutation on Wang Yu's body disappeared and faded away, his body returning to a pure, natural state.

"It's functioning normally. The device will detect your condition through the abnormal derivatives that are connected to your flesh and blood, and remind you to expel the contamination before it spreads to an uncontrollable level. To be honest, I don't know what will happen if you don't expel it in time."

After examining Wang Yu's body and confirming that there were no traces of mechanical mutation, the doctor nodded, indicating that the device was successful. At the same time, he solemnly reminded Wang Yu to be careful not to overuse it.

"Thank you, it will be very helpful to me."

Wang Yu sincerely thanked the doctor, who not only helped him understand some of the characteristics of his own body, but also transformed the abnormal derivative into a device that could provide him with great help.

"No need for a reward, this is for you too."

The doctor noticed the universal currency chip that Wang Yu had taken out, waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to give him money, and instead handed his briefcase to the other party.

"..."

Wang Yu didn't speak, but opened the briefcase and took a look. It was a container used to store bottles of abnormal contamination. It was divided into two layers, with 16 empty bottles on each layer. The second layer was completely empty, while three bottles on the first layer were filled, including the abnormal contamination bottle that corresponded to the Mechanical Sea.

Looking at the doctor, Wang Yu waited for him to speak. He didn't accept any payment and even prepared new equipment for himself. The doctor must have something he wanted to convey.

"These three bottles are anomalous contaminants that I collected that might be useful to you. In fact, due to the special properties of your body, it is possible to collect other anomalous contaminants using the Steady-State Anomalous Catalyst, just like the Abyssal Anomalous Contaminant that the device just collected, which caused your body to become a fish-man."

Without much preamble, the doctor waved the bottle of murky blue liquid in front of Wang Yu and explained the device's second function to him.

"This means you can extract abnormal contamination from other people's infections, as long as that contamination enters your body first."

The doctor also explained the derivative uses of this second function.

"Understood, I will."

Nodding in understanding and making a promise, Wang Yu fully understood why the doctor entrusted him with the steady-state alienation catalysis system without accepting any reward. This was because as long as the device was with him, it could help the doctor.

For the doctor, this favor was probably the most important thing. He readily agreed, and compared to what he would gain, he even felt somewhat unworthy of the favor.

……

"Mr. Wang Yu, are you really going to disassemble and modify this ion confinement knife? If so, its output power will inevitably be greatly reduced."

Lingqi asked Wang Yu, who was standing by the window, bathed in the dim sunlight outside, as he assembled the ion confinement knife into the decomposition tool.

"The second mission from the Tide Gang has arrived. In that environment, the effectiveness of firearms is greatly limited. I need a handy close-combat weapon. This ion confinement knife is too big. It is completely unusable without disassembling it. I'll trouble you with the structural analysis."

In response to Ling Qi's question, Wang Yu had some green things swaying around on his head. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be overgrown moss, with even a few mushrooms and small flowers scattered among them.

This was certainly not because he had gone mad and put flowers and plants on his head like a wig; rather, it was the effect of one of the abnormally contaminated bottles that the doctor had filled in advance.

The most stable and most useful of the three bottles of abnormal pollutants, the one corresponding to a great being, was unknown to him. After injecting it into his body through the device, Wang Yu confirmed through intuition that he had a weak "photosynthesis" ability similar to that of plants.

As long as he stands in the sunlight, his body's self-healing ability will be enhanced, and his physical strength will recover faster. If he stays still and minimizes his energy consumption, he can even survive on water through photosynthesis, becoming a veritable "vegetative state" person.

"Understood."

Lingqi responded and began remotely controlling the decomposition machine tool to cut and separate the ion-gathering blade. The precision of the operation was beyond what Wang Yu could achieve, and it was close to perfect even without considering the machine tool's errors.

After disassembling Zero Seven, Wang Yu modified the parts accordingly. The blade was divided into several parts, each connected to a different energy core, and then embedded into a base made from the Polaris Electromagnetic Shield Glove that he had previously used.

It took about half a day to complete this piece. In the end, a slightly bulky glove was placed in front of Wang Yu. The entire ion confinement blade was cut off and embedded into the five fingers of the glove.

After putting on both gloves and activating the power source, streams of plasma instantly flowed along pre-set tracks around the gloves, making Wang Yu's hands shine brightly.

Narrowing his eyes, Wang Yu raised a single index finger and pressed it down on a metal ingot on the workbench.

"Sizzle..."

The plasma stream distributed on the glove easily melts and cuts the metal ingot like the blade of an ion confinement knife. Although the speed is not as fast as that of an ion confinement knife due to the decrease in power, the power is still amazing.

"Done. Both lethality and flexibility are guaranteed."

After turning off the power, Wang Yu clapped his hands in satisfaction. With these gloves, his destructive power would be greatly enhanced within the limited area.

"Won't Mr. Wang Yu find this weapon difficult to use? It must be quite challenging to wield."

"It's alright, you can master it with a little practice."

Faced with Ling Qi's concerns, Wang Yu appeared quite confident. The source of his confidence was his fighting skill, which was as high as 90. This talent gave Wang Yu an exceptionally amazing combat comprehension. Whether it was shooting, hand-to-hand combat, or weapon use, he could learn it in a very short time.

This new weapon was prepared for the new mission that the Tide Gang conveyed to him through Wu Ziming. The mission location was an anomalous area called the Bunker, a special anomalous area located on the edge of the safe zone. Because it was extremely close to the wasteland, the nature of the anomalous area was far stronger than that of the ordinary anomalous area, the Prosperous Ruins.

"Past events repeat themselves internally. A finite space expands into an untravelable space due to continuous evolution. The internal state cannot be determined unless it is observed. Only when someone is present inside can a certain area be stabilized."

Wang Yu muttered about the characteristics of the anomalous area he needed to go to. To be honest, he didn't quite understand what these descriptions meant. He probably had to explore it himself to understand the nature of this anomalous area.

"The mission objective is to retrieve a relic from the old era, which is in the possession of the Containers organization inside the bunker, acting as a courier."

The mission objective also sounded somewhat ambiguous: simply to retrieve a pre-arranged item from an organization. Was it really necessary to specifically send him on this mission? Moreover, the mission was issued through the Star Ring Mercenary System, and the reward was exceptionally generous, even higher than Zhou Feng's bounty, reaching 300,000 universal currency.

"I found some information about the bunker in the public network of the abandoned city. It is extremely rare. There are also abnormal areas in the public network. The probability of entering and never coming out is close to 30%. At the same time, some residents who come out of the bunker will eventually choose to re-enter for unknown reasons, and the probability of escaping again after entering a second time is zero."

Lingqi shared some information about the bunker, an abnormal zone, with Wang Yu, who was preparing his belongings. It was now five days after the marine creatures mutated, and the two had moved into Old Fish Head's shop. The mission from the Tide Gang had been released last night, and he had three days to prepare.

"So that means each person only has one chance to enter the bunker? As expected, this kind of mission is definitely not going to be easy. I should prepare as thoroughly as possible. And with the reward for this mission, I should be able to upgrade my MK1 body later."

Rubbing his chin, a sense of curiosity welled up in Wang Yu's heart. For some reason, he became more excited because of this. In fact, his mental state had become even more abnormal since the last marine invasion. However, it had always been difficult to tell from Wang Yu's outward appearance.

"If it's possible to avoid entering, it's better not to go into this abnormal area. A lot of relevant information is hidden, and it can't be viewed without hacking into the public network. I think this abnormal area, known as the bunker, is far more dangerous than the information you obtained, Mr. Wang Yu."

As Lingqi spoke, it was clear that she did not want Wang Yu to enter this strange and unusual area.

"No, I can't stand this parasite staying in my head any longer. Without being able to use rituals or abnormal contamination on my brain, I can't deal with this thing. The only thing I can do is improve my status in the gang as much as possible, and become like Benjamin, the second traitor after the parasite is removed..."

Wang Yu's tone became somewhat low, and the murderous intent and anger he had been hiding were still difficult to suppress when it came to the Hai Chao Gang.
