Cyber ​​God: Abyss Walker

Thank you.

After receiving the steady-state mutation catalyst from the doctor, Wang Yu's voice finally stopped trembling. After Lena removed most of the bone fragments from his body, she gradually became familiar with the distribution of blood vessels, nerves, and other tiny tissues inside the human body. The itching sensation that exceeded the limit of tolerance finally stopped tormenting Wang Yu inside his body.

"Click..."

With the steady-state mutation catalyst attached to his uninjured hand, Wang Yu placed the abnormal pollutants that enabled him to perform "photosynthesis" into a container bottle. He then began to release a kind of self-protection within his body that could only be perceived through a kind of intuitive sense, and accepted the abnormal pollutants from the outside world.

"What...is this?"

A kind of pollution that Wang Yu found hard to understand spread through his body along the tentacles that Lena had pierced into him. The sensations brought about by this pollution were stranger, or rather, more complex, than any other pollution that had previously invaded Wang Yu's flesh and blood.

Using the device and his own unique features, Wang Yu helped the doctor share the burden of clearing the abnormal contamination from his daughter's body. This was an agreement between Wang Yu and the other party, and he was now fulfilling this obligation. However, it wasn't until the abnormal contamination entered his body that he realized just how strange the abnormal contamination in Lena's body was.

If the abnormal contaminations he had seen before were all singular and conformed to the nature of the corresponding great beings' power, then the abnormal contamination that flowed into his body from Reina was a special abnormal contaminant mixed with a large number of powers that he could not distinguish as corresponding to the great beings' power.

"I don't know either. If it were a single type of abnormal contamination, like what I did to Old Fish Head, I should be able to find a way to keep her alive. But the abnormal contamination in her body is not just one type; I call it a 'hybrid.' The fact that Lena was able to survive until I discovered the special nature of your flesh and blood is already a miracle."

The doctor stared at the numerous small wounds on Wang Yu's body with a grave expression, the healing agent in his hand ready to be injected into Wang Yu's body at any moment.

"This is truly a terrifying thing..."

Wang Yu's expression wasn't very good either. The powers of most great beings are conflicting, which means that once these abnormal pollutants come into contact with each other, a struggle and reaction will inevitably occur, and they won't care what happens to the body of the person they are in.

At this moment, the "hybrid" pollution flowing out of Lena's body directly started a chaotic battle in Wang Yu's body. The abnormal properties clashed. The abnormal pollution, which was only a power, could at most dissipate and collapse, but Wang Yu's flesh and blood would suffer.

It's hard to describe exactly what happened during the reaction process, but it eventually evolved into the simplest and most direct destruction. Wang Yu's skin and muscles shattered and were injured in the reaction of these forces. Crimson liquid flowed out from under the broken skin, while the rest turned into bruises and remained inside the flesh.

"You're right, Doctor, she's truly a miracle."

Enduring the excruciating pain throughout his body, Wang Yu gritted his teeth and activated the steady-state mutation catalyst. The chaotic pollution was driven into the device by the strange repulsive force of his body, and then injected into the abnormal pollution container.

"Pfft..."

"Click."

Lena's tentacles were pulled out of Wang Yu's body, all the bone fragments were cleared away, and the "hybrid" pollutants that Wang Yu had absorbed into his body were put into a pollutant container bottle, which was a bottle of liquid that seemed to be alive.

A multicolored black—that's the only color Wang Yu could think of to describe it. Simply put, it's a dark color caused by a mixture of many colors, but every now and then one color stands out and becomes conspicuous, before quickly fading away again.

Handing the "hybrid" abnormal contaminant to the doctor is crucial, as it would be far more useful to the doctor than to him. This substance is likely the only abnormal contaminant that is completely useless to Wang Yu so far; injecting it into his body would only cause his physical body to shatter and collapse.

"I need to hurry, this abnormal contamination is decreasing due to the conflict between them."

Staring intently at the unusual contaminants inside the container in his hand, the doctor said gravely, "Due to the chaotic conflict between them, they are becoming less and less in the process of reacting. In just a short while, a noticeable layer of them has already been removed."

"I'm sorry, I can't provide you with surgery to repair the wound. This is a powerful repair agent. Have Lena inject it into your body in a dispersed manner. Now that the bone fragments have been removed, it can quickly heal your wound."

The doctor apologized and quickly spoke a few words to Wang Yu before taking the extracted "mixture" of contaminants to be analyzed. This was the first time he had had the opportunity to directly analyze the contaminants in his daughter's body.

Turning his head to observe the injuries all over his body caused by the "hybrid" pollutants entering his body, Wang Yu shook his head. These wounds were not serious, only affecting the surface of the skin and flesh. In terms of the medical technology of this world and this era, they were basically no different from a few cuts and some bleeding.

"Thank you, I feel much better than before."

More tentacles extended from under Lena's clothes, piercing into Wang Yu's body and evenly injecting the pre-extracted repair agent into the wounds, causing the wounds to stop bleeding and close quickly under the action of the repair agent.

"You're welcome. This is an agreement between your father and me."

Wang Yu waved his hand without saying anything, but then he suddenly realized something was wrong. He carefully counted the tentacles embedded in his body, his eyebrows involuntarily rising in surprise. Could it be…?

……

With some antiseptic bandages wrapped around his body, Wang Yu walked from the fourth floor to the first floor, rubbing his chin thoughtfully as he considered the possibility. The more he thought about it, the more certain he became of this possibility based on the information he had observed.

"You're mistaken. The doctor's daughter didn't gain those superhuman abilities because of abnormal pollution. She's different from me, completely different..."

Muttering to himself, Wang Yu realized that some of his previous thoughts about Lena were wrong. She was fundamentally different from him. Just now, when he distributed some of the abnormal pollution in her body, the power that Lena displayed actually became stronger.

The number and activity of the other party's tentacles far surpassed those before. It should be noted that if Wang Yu were to expel the abnormal pollution from his body, the power he gained from the pollution by the great being would also disappear. However, the doctor's daughter clearly did the opposite.

"Her abilities don't originate from the abnormal pollution, but from within herself. That's right, this kind of 'hybrid' abnormal pollution, besides causing endless damage to the body, doesn't offer any additional benefits."

Nodding, Wang Yu was deeply moved as he understood the situation. The doctor had modified Lena's body to make it capable of withstanding the damage caused by the "hybrid" pollutants, or at least to bring the chaotic and complex abnormal pollution within her body into balance.

Given this form, it's not surprising that it possesses abilities that resemble abnormal pollutants. However, in reality, this is probably the pinnacle of cutting-edge biotechnology. I wonder how much effort and resources the doctors invested to achieve this.

"Truly a divine being..."

He couldn't help but exclaim in amazement that the doctor was even more capable than he had anticipated.

"Why is this damn thing not in a doctor's area of ​​expertise...?"

Frowning, the doctor tapped his head. He had used all his skills on his daughter. But expertise in one area is not enough to solve the problem that was troubling Wang Yu.

"However, it seems this body is quite weak and powerless. Should I undergo cybernetic modification...?"

Raising his hands, his gaze lingered on this fragile mortal body. Wang Yu was caught in a brief dilemma. Compared to Ling Qi or the doctor's daughter, the strength of a natural human body, which was close to the limits of normal human beings, was still not enough.

"Forget it, to carry out usable prosthetic modifications, I would need to implant an auxiliary chip. I don't want to have a time bomb in my head."

Shaking his head, Wang Yu finally dismissed the somewhat tempting idea. Maybe later, but not now.

……

"Sizzle..."

"Click"

"Try moving it."

"No problem, everything is quite perfect."

Wang Yu swung his arm in response to Ling Qi's words. His right arm was covered by something that looked like armor. This was an exoskeleton-style mechanical arm armor made with Ling Qi's help, "learned" from the BK Company, a knock-off master in the ruined city.

Of course, this "learning from" refers to Lingqi finding an opportunity to hack into this famous company in the abandoned city and downloading a small amount of content from their database. This included a considerable number of equipment design blueprints that Wang Yu could use, since his mechanical repair skills were not yet at the level where he could design equipment entirely on his own.

BK Company was the manufacturer of a large number of the equipment that Wang Yu had seen and used before. This company could be considered a giant in the abandoned city if you round it up.

Their products are mainly knock-offs. As soon as the equipment from Xindu flows into the Wasteland, BK Company will immediately disassemble and imitate it. The finished products, while not comparable to the original equipment, are definitely good items in the Wasteland.

Each product from BK Company has a corresponding serial number, starting with "BK" followed by a number, indicating which number of the counterfeited equipment it is. Wang Yu admired their ability to replicate to this extent, so he decided to let him "reproduce" one as well.

"Bang!"

Wang Yu shifted the boost to medium and punched the ground. Sparks flew, and fine cracks spread across the stone slab used for testing. The power was considerable. If he turned the boost to the maximum, breaking through a wall or door would definitely not be a problem.

"Good, it works. I finally managed to get this thing made in time. I'll head to the wasteland now. This mission will probably take some time. In the meantime, I'll ask you to research the history of this world on the public network. Be careful and don't get detected by the antivirus software while trying to achieve your goal."

After removing the exoskeleton-assisted armor, folding it up, and putting it into his backpack, Wang Yu put on all the prepared equipment and said to Ling Qi, "At this time, the bionic skin on the other party's body has already been repaired, and the body inside has also been fully upgraded to the MK2 shell with the support of the 400,000 universal currency's 'ill-gotten gains'."

"Yes, I know. Have a safe trip."

Lingqi nodded and offered her blessings before setting off.

"Thank you for your kind words."

In response, Wang Yu walked out of his dwelling in the kennel.

Turning my head, I saw that the marine monitoring station called Kennel, which had become dilapidated due to the invasion of the mutated marine creatures last time, had been completely restored. Apart from the fact that the interior was no different from before, it could even be described as brand new.

The true owners of the kennel, the "Senro Wanshou" organization, sent engineers to repair and rebuild it a few days after his meeting with the nameless man. Wang Yu still remembers the spectacular scene of thousands of drones operating simultaneously, and the engineer's name: Steel Egg...

He didn't know why the engineers of the Senluo Wanxiang Organization would be called Steel Egg, just as he didn't know why there was a mobile city called "Jincheng" between Edge City 1, Edge City 2, and Edge City 3.

If he could, he really wanted to visit the mobile city called Jincheng, but unfortunately, the mobile city he needed to travel to for this mission was Edge City No. 2.

"boom!"

With the engine roaring, Wang Yu drove his motorcycle toward a special area of ​​the abandoned city called "Port". At this location that connects the safe zone and the wasteland, each mobile city will stop on a specific date to exchange supplies and facilitate the flow of people. The second edge city he was going to ride would arrive in the abandoned city today.

It took a considerable amount of time to reach the destination. It was around 1 p.m., and the sun was shining brightly. A large number of residents from the abandoned city had already gathered in this special area.

The enormous demand has spontaneously created a huge market at this location called the port. Apart from the independently planned area for mobile cities to dock, the rest of the area has been divided up by various gangs to form a trading market.

Special items and obsolete equipment from the wasteland are sold here, making it a popular gathering place for people. Today, with the arrival of Edge City 2, a new batch of goods will be delivered, and a large number of mercenaries and exploration teams are preparing to board the mobile city, making the gathering even larger.

"Ultraman, you've arrived just in time."

"Nice car."

Wang Yu arrived relatively early, but Dorothy and Happy Clown arrived even earlier. Dorothy greeted Wang Yu first, wondering if he would bring a handlebar or not today. Happy Clown, on the other hand, was very interested in Wang Yu's motorcycle, circling it a few times before praising it.

"Has the Silent Monk arrived?"

Wang Yu asked the question.

"He should have come here with the mobile city; he's always been overly 'punctual'."

The happy clown shrugged and responded.

"Ugh...!"

A distant and heavy sound drew Wang Yu's attention. At the horizon, a massive metal fortress slowly revealed its full form, moving towards the port with an unimaginable sense of awe.

Smoke and dust were billowed hundreds of meters into the air by the exaggerated tracks. Although its size was nothing in the vast wilderness, one's gaze was still irresistibly drawn to this "colossus," a kind of "gravity" unique to magnificent creations.

Second Edge City, arriving at port.
