Chapter 22 Evolution (2)

"By the way... don't we really want to help him?" This was the first question Zhang San asked after Shi Sanwen hung up the video communication.

At this moment, they were standing in an open space, with bodies lying all over the ground, and more than a dozen cars parked.

The double-layer net alloy self-destructing house that trapped them not long ago has been moved away from its original position by Shi Sanwen and moved to a farther place.

"No need." Two seconds later, Shi Sanwen replied confidently, "Wait a little longer, and the Hunter will be teleported here by the other party just like us."

Upon hearing this, Zhang San raised his eyebrows and said, "How can I see it?"

Shi Sanwen shrugged and continued: "The guy who teleported us here has the effect of his supernatural powers to 'get the state and position of a certain target back to a day ago'. Such abilities... cannot kill the 'nowing hunter'."

"Oh?" Zhang San said again, "How do you know that his ability is to make people 'retrace a day' rather than 'telebrating people to a distance'?"

Shi Sanwen replied: "First of all, you must have noticed... We came to this place yesterday, but it is beyond recognition now; secondly, assuming that the other party's ability is really 'telebrating people to a distance', then why didn't he teleport us to outer space or the center of the earth to kill us, instead of having such a big battle here?"

Zhang San said: "Maybe his abilities are limited, such as 'can only move the target to the place where he has been', etc. Besides, teleporting the ability to the outer space or the center of the earth will not ensure that the other party will die, nor can he confirm the other party's corpse."

"Okay, stop quarreling." Shi San asked, "You know that's impossible... According to your assumption, that guy just teleports the person he wants to arrest into the prison, as long as he goes to various special cells for a walk around."

"Haha... I just want to try what you have guessed." Zhang San smiled. It was obvious that he was asking knowingly. "Actually, when that person appeared, I had already recognized him. He was EF's deputy director Jessed Newman, and his ability is indeed as you said... It is to make people 'return to a day ago', but his ability is often mistaken for long-distance teleportation, and most people will not think about 'time'."

"I can't do it if I don't think about it." Shi San asked, "because I can feel very clearly that my physical condition has returned to a day ago."

"Ha?" Zhang San really didn't understand now, "Can you use the content of shit in your body..."

"No." Before Shi Sanwen could finish his sentence, he denied the speculation, "How could I remember that kind of thing?"

"Then you are..." Zhang San said suspiciously.

"Don't forget..." Shi Sanwen continued, "I am an omega-level mutant, and I have been alive for many years..."

"Oh~" Zhang San understood after he reminded him.

Omega-level mutants, even if they do not practice any practice or practice any skills, their abilities will naturally grow over time, and the speed of this growth is usually proportional to their age.

For example, suppose there is an omega-level mutant who never practices any practice, whose combat power at birth is 1. Every five years after that, his combat power will naturally grow to twice that of five years ago; then, in the first five years, his combat power will only grow by 0.2 each year, but in the second five years, he will grow by 0.4 every year, and so on... From the age of fifty, his combat power will increase by 102.4 every year; that is, when he is fifty, his combat power will increase by nearly every day is close to the increase of the entire year before he is five years old.

Although this is just an example, it is unlikely that the growth rate of omega-level mutants will increase at this "double" rate, but generally speaking, "the longer you live, the faster you grow" is certain.

With a triple-digit age like Shi Sanwen, his ability has reached the point where he “feels better than yesterday every day”, so after being teleported, he immediately discovered that not only his geographical location, but his physical condition returned to a day ago.

"But..." A few seconds later, Zhang San changed his sentence, "This matter still doesn't make sense..." He paused and continued, "First, you said that Newman's superpowers cannot kill Hunter, that's right, but Hunter has been tortured by you so much that he has not even left half of his life. To kill him... it seems that there is no need to use any ability? Second, the video communication between you and Newman just now is equivalent to telling him that 'using the Hunter' will only send him to a safe place'. In this way, what reason does the other party have as you said... 'Transfer Hunter'?"

"Ha..." After hearing this, Shi Sanwen smiled confidently, "It's for life."

"What?" Zhang San asked in surprise, "You're right? Are you saying that Hunter can force Newman to the point where he must teleport him away to save his life?"

"Of course." Shi Sanwen replied in a tone of course.

"Impossible..." Zhang San still didn't believe it. "I have read Newman's information more than once. He is a super transformer who combines the strongest ef technology. In the history of the technological development of human transformation for more than two hundred years, he has undergone 'full body mechanical transformation and biochemical transformation mixed surgery' and survived the operation... There are only twenty records that can be found, twelve of which have become plant (machine?) people, five have become serious disabilities that cannot take care of themselves, and two have become monsters that have lost their rationality (the creature locked in the Nine Prisons forbidden zone is one of them, at least the person who created him believes that he is no longer rational). Newman is the only "successful case". Even if he puts aside the superpowers, he still has the fighting power of the peak of fierceness. With the current physical condition of Hunter, even if he lets his DNA swallowing ability go wild again... I am afraid he is not the opponent."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Shi Sanwen suddenly said, "Who told you that the superpower of Hunter is the 'dna devouring ability'?"

As soon as this said, Zhang San's expression changed: "What do you mean?"

"Fcps,eas,ef... so many institutions claiming to be professional, but none of them discovered the 'truth'." Shi San asked, "Everyone...even Levin himself was blinded by appearances, and took it for granted that his ability was to 'devour the DNA of creatures and strengthen himself with it', and then gave him the code name 'hunter'..."

Shi Sanwen paused for a few seconds, looked at Zhang San with a smiley expression, and asked: "You have read so many confidential federal information, and I believe that I know how Levin 'obtained superpowers' and became a hunter?"

Zhang San nodded: "I know a rough idea."

"Then tell me, I'll hear if what I know is consistent with what I know." Shi Sanwen also read the information given by Tianyi, but he still wanted to check the information of both parties with Zhang San.

Zhang San thought for a while and said, "Levin was originally a cleaner in an experimental institution... One day, the Federation sent a batch of dangerous molecules studying the 'molecular transmission technology' to that laboratory, and officially put the live experiment of this technology on the agenda.

"The 'experimental subjects' they need include, in addition to various animals, living people; men, women, elderly people, children... all kinds of genders and ages are needed.

"Adults are easy to deal with, just use prisoners from the Nine Prisons, but it is difficult to find children, so they used innocent families of members of the resistance organization, homeless children, and even children trafficked by human traffickers.

"Levin couldn't stand it and wanted to use his position to rescue the children, but the laboratory was strictly guarded and there were surveillance everywhere. He couldn't do it alone, so he released those adult "experimental subjects" in an attempt to break through violently.

"As a result, the escape turned into chaos and massacre. The fugitives were surrounded and intercepted by fully armed security personnel. In the end, more than a dozen people survived fled to the room where the molecular teleportation experiment was conducted and tried to escape with the machine, but due to improper operation, the device was overloaded and exploded... and all the fugitives and most of the security personnel were involved.

"After the explosion, only Levin survived, and he suddenly had supernatural powers.

"He survived, using the DNA obtained from nearby animals to strengthen himself, destroyed the entire laboratory, and killed everyone else inside...

"While these things happened, the Federation, which learned about these situations through surveillance in the laboratory, was thinking of covering up the matter quickly; they urgently summoned a purge team to kill and silence people, but... when the team arrived, the hunter was gone."

When Zhang San said this, he stopped. Later, the hunter was positioned as "crazy level" in a short period of time, was chased, and imprisoned in Nine Prisons, etc., and he did not continue.

"Well... I know about it almost the same as me." Shi Sanwen quickly continued, "There is a very important issue in this whole thing that was completely ignored by the Federation. I wonder if you notice it?"

"I didn't pay attention to it at first, but now after you say this..." Zhang San thoughtfully, "Of course, Levin is the only one who survives, and that's the problem."

"That's right." Shi San asked, "People nowadays... When they see something like 'a person who died in an accident in a laboratory and gained superpowers', the first reaction in their minds is 'this is a accident with a very small probability', and 'It was this accident that turned an ordinary person into a superpower'." He spread his hands, "I can only say that the subtle influence of comics and movies on human thoughts is really amazing... But sorry, there are not so many flashes and sentries in this world. You should throw away that inertial thinking and consider... Is it possible that Levin survived from an accident, which is actually a kind of 'necessity'."

"So..." Zhang San had fully understood what Shi Sanwen meant, "Your inference is... Levin did not become a capable person because he survived from an accident, but because he was a capable person, so he survived from an accident?"

"Thinking like this is more reasonable, right?" Shi San asked.

"Then..." Zhang San said again, "What is his ability?"

"'The Suit of Death'" Shi Sanwen said these four words without thinking and continued, "In Levin's past life, he has never discovered his superpowers because his superpowers are very special;'The Suit of Death' is a superpower that has been awakened from birth, but to be truly activated, the owner must be injured enough to death."

"For example, that accident?" Zhang San continued.

"Yes." Shi Sanwen replied, "In that accident, ordinary people were obviously bound to die, and Levine was not an ordinary person. When death was approaching, he adapted to the "death meme" at that time, thus gaining the ability to "reorganize molecules."

"The so-called 'devouring creature DNA and integrating its traits into itself' effect is just an ugly usage of this ability. Because Levin's knowledge and imagination are limited, it is used in this form; if it is used by you, you can easily master the operations of turning stones into gold, turning water into wine... When the ability level is advanced, you can turn the entire earth into marshmallows."

"Well..." Zhang San then followed the other party's thoughts, "You mean... the effect of Levin's superpower is that when a person is about to die, based on the 'factors that cause one's own death', the power that can be sufficient to fight or even control this cause of death is instantly derived?"

"Basically correct." Shi San asked.

"I'll just slap..." Zhang San was also surprised at a rare moment, "Will he never die?" He immediately thought of several examples, "For example, if he was burned to death by fire, he would gain the power to resist high temperatures or even control the flames in the moment before death; if he was drowned by water, he would gain the ability to breathe in the water before death... Uh... Wait, if he had never discovered superpowers, wouldn't he have gained the power of immortality when he died?"

Shi Sanwen looked at Zhang San and chuckled: "What's wrong with your analysis...is not right."

"What do you mean?" Zhang San asked.

"'The Suit of Death' is indeed something you can play as you said, but it is not unlimited." Shi Sanwen continued, "For example, if a person gains the power to control fire with the Suit of Death when a person is burned to death, then his ability in the future is to control fire. The next time he encounters death, the Suit of Death will not react again."

"Hey hey..." Zhang San said, "Don't this be around?" He curled his lips, "Since the application of death can only be used once, and Levin has used it, then his ability is not the same as the ability of DNA devouring? With his current body, he will still be killed by Newman."

"The statement that 'can only be used once' is not accurate..." Shi Sanwen continued, "Authentice, in normal circumstances, once the 'fit of death' becomes another form of supernatural power, it cannot be changed back, but I, as the 'power tutor'... I know the method of reversal."

At this time, Zhang San showed a sudden enlightenment: "You have let Levin cut off the water and fast and not sleep these days, for this?"

Shi Sanwen nodded slightly and smiled: "When I first met him, I found that this guy was already messy in both physiological and energy levels... The random use of the 'molecular recombination ability' as a 'dna devouring ability' will inevitably lead to many sequelae. His previous 'rassment' was because humans...especially the molecules of the abilities... were too complicated, so that he had an uncontrollable situation when he recombined.

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, you should understand that the ability of mutants and transformers is easy to say, but the ability of the 'capable person' comes from 'sin' and has little to do with DNA. How can it be obtained through 'dna's devouring ability'?

"Some special forces he thought were obtained through 'swallowing' were essentially just that he was forcibly 'imitating' in the form of molecular recombination. The principle was completely different from the original version, and he himself didn't know it at all.

"In short, this ability is too complicated, and it is a burden to him.

“So, I launched a ‘reverse transformation’ for him…

"I asked Levine not to eat, drink, sleep, and run all night, to be a physiological transformation; almost all superpowers themselves have a certain "instinct". In recent days, this consumption that far exceeds the limit has caused his superpowers to start "eating". By noon today, his body has almost consumed himself. Physiologically, he has returned to a state that is worse than ordinary people.

"And at the energy level, a fool like him who can hardly use energy, I have secretly sorted it out for him without him noticing...

"Everything is ready now. Levin's superpower has been reset by me. I only owe Mr. Newman a gust of east wind to make his 'fit of death' react again and change..."

…………

At the same time, Orient Express, Parking Car.

The hunter who was beaten to the point of being unhealthy and fell on his back actually staggered from the ground after a brief breath.

Seeing this, Newman, who had already approached, was surprised and quickly stopped.

Since Newman's position is close to Hunter at this moment, the group of agents standing in fan shape behind him are not convenient for the time being to shoot again.

"Why am I not dead?" After Lieba stood still, he said to himself in confusion.

Although Newman didn't say anything on the surface, he was also muttering in his heart: "Yes, I want to ask, why are you still not dead?"
