Chapter 159: Chapter 70: Still DNA?

Gao Xin was sent flying seven or eight meters as if he had been hit by a car. However, with a few midair somersaults, he landed steadily on the wall.

Yes, on the wall, and then with a push-off, his body shot forth like an arrow.

He weighed only fifty kilograms, incredibly light. Not only was he easily sent flying, but his rushes were all the faster for it.

"Ha!"

The Red Ogre didn’t have time to draw the knife from his chest—deciding instead to activate organ overclocking, with steam billowing out.

Clang! The two clashed again, sparks flying in all directions.

Clang clang clang! Gao Xin slashed furiously with his twin blades, striking from bizarre angles.

But after the Red Ogre overclocked his organs, his speed increased, his blows grew heavier and more ferocious by the second.

Clang! After a few exchanges, three blades shattered simultaneously!

Gao Xin was sent flying backward, skidding to a slide that toppled two onlooking Yamaguchi gangsters. With slaps, crack crack, he broke their necks.

"Huh?"

The remaining Yamaguchi men hadn’t expected Gao Xin to casually strike them while passing, killing two in the process.

Now only three gangsters were left; they turned to run.

Gao Xin picked up a knife from the ground and threw it, quickly taking out the last three.

"Pfft pfft pfft!"

At that point, only Gao Xin and the Red Ogre were left inside the Radiation Base.

"Whoosh!"

Enraged, the Red Ogre took advantage of Gao Xin’s distraction to throw a knife, aiming straight for Gao Xin’s back.

But how could Gao Xin be caught off guard by a rear attack? He possessed a sixth sense.

In fact, he was fighting back-to-back with Silver Hand, if only invisible to others...

Gao Xin was beginning to grasp communicating with his fantasy ally and could already share an understanding with Silver Hand.

As if he had eyes on the back of his head, he spun elegantly, slapping the flying blade’s side in midair.

"Whoosh whoosh!" The blade immediately spun around, spiraling as it sliced through the air.

However, it only turned one hundred and eighty degrees before stopping right in front of Gao Xin’s chest.

Because the hilt landed perfectly in the palm of Gao Xin’s hand, gripped firmly!

"Hiss!"

"Damn it! Where did you learn such tricks? I won’t allow you to use the knife like that!"

The Red Ogre actually thought Gao Xin was quite cool...

But that just made him angrier! Ugly as sin, he hated this kind of guy the most!

Gao Xin slowly approached, "A knife... is good enough if it can butcher an animal."

"Pfft!" The Red Ogre was so angry that he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood!

The knife in his chest was seriously bothering him. Without hesitation, he pulled it out right then and there.

"Your speed... it’s wolf-class for sure."

"How is that possible... You’ve been a Radiation for at most three days, and already a real wolf?"

As a mob enforcer, the Red Ogre naturally was battle-hardened; a brief skirmish was all he needed to gauge Gao Xin’s combat power.

Gao Xin’s burst coefficient remained at 3.0, but his base strength had soared to 1.5 tons.

Although this strength was only half of his own, bear in mind, he weighed two hundred kilograms, and Gao Xin was a mere fifty, thin as a rail!

A four-times difference in weight class yet only a two-times difference in strength, what else could this be if not a true wolf?

More importantly, Gao Xin’s reaction speed was twice his, and with that advantage, he could already offset the disparity in weight.

And Gao Xin’s skill was not to be underestimated; even with organ overclocking, he seemed to be no match...

"You guessed wrong, I underwent life mutation just today..." Gao Xin stated the fact.

The Red Ogre was taken aback, disbelieving, "What do you mean? Are you saying you’re SSR?"

"That’s one in a million among Radiations!"

The higher the grade of Radiation, the easier it is to become wolf-class.

Because the potential is so enormous, a slight development from a brush with death might already make one a true wolf.

Contrarily, people like Tanabu, the Red Ogre, and Sasaki, these wolf-class fighters, seem impressive but are actually common N-grade Radiations. Even a handful can be found anywhere.

True wolf-class was their limit; their current achievements were the result of great effort.

Gao Xin smiled coldly, "Even if it’s one in a million, so what?"

"Why can’t I be that one?"

"You..." The Red Ogre, grinding his teeth in frustration, eyes filled with envy.

Could he help feeling envious? Three days ago, Gao Xin was like a glass man awaiting slaughter. Even though he had killed many Radiations, legendary as it was, it seemed he was still heading to his death.

But instead of dying, he came back killing, and was now very likely an SSR.

This was enough to drive anyone to fury.

"Damn it! Which damn gang gave you that medicine?"

The Red Ogre charged in a rage, brandishing his knife.

Gao Xin spread his arms, each hand wielding a knife, as if embracing someone.

"It was this day, this place, it was me all along!"

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The two erupted into the most ferocious battle. When a knife was broken, they picked up another to continue slashing.

One steamed with his organs constantly overclocking.

The other was remarkably fast, his twin blades dancing and spinning in his hands, exhibiting a clever sleight of hand.

But ultimately, organ overclocking couldn’t go on forever.

As the Red Ogre grew thinner and thinner, even his strength advantage was gone.

"Psh!"

More and more knife wounds appeared on his body, his skin split open everywhere, his flesh blurry with blood, as if he were undergoing lingchi, death by a thousand cuts!

"Hehehe... It’s been a long time since I’ve been in a blood battle like this."

The Red Ogre did not shrink back; as a mob enforcer, his first duty was to fight to the bitter end!

Unless commanded otherwise, he would never retreat!

Before long, he was stabbed dozens of times, his blood nearly running dry.

Yet incredibly, he fought on with more vigor as if Gao Xin’s next slash would sever his arm.

Instead of dodging, the Red Ogre made a sudden chop, bursting forth with even greater power.

Gao Xin immediately sensed something wrong with the blade’s movement. This guy had improved during the bloody battle, his strength had at least doubled his own body weight.

A normal person would instinctively dodge when faced with such a life-risking stance.

But Gao Xin was no ordinary person. If his opponent was desperate, he was even more so!

His eyes sharpened. Without dodging or flinching, he severed one of the Red Ghost’s arms.

"Puchi!"

At the same time, the Red Ghost’s blade slashed into Gao Xin’s chest!

Instead of retreating, Gao Xin advanced further, stepping forward to drive the blade deeper into himself until the hilt was submerged. Blood splattered onto the Red Ghost’s face!

Since the Red Ghost’s arm was cut off, his control over the knife was lost. Under Gao Xin’s charge, the hilt struck the Red Ghost, sending him flying!

"Puchichi!"

Gao Xin thrust out two knives in a cross, jamming them both squarely into the Red Ghost’s chest!

One to the left and one to the right—both piercing through the heart!

"Rip!"

He pulled his hands apart abruptly, and the knives, like scissors, instantly ripped apart the Red Ghost’s chest cavity, splitting it into two sections.

Instant kill.

"Think you can out-desperate me? You think I can’t?"

Gao Xin glared at the twitching, blood-spitting Red Ghost lying on the ground before him.

Joke. He’d fought his way through bloodbaths; no one knew desperation like he did!

Originally, Gao Xin had wanted to practice his skills and dispose of the Red Ghost without injury.

But he hadn’t expected the Red Ghost to make a breakthrough amid their desperate fight... This reminded him of Silver Hand. Although the Red Ghost was only a Class N and his breakthrough wasn’t that monstrous, Gao Xin had decisively taken a hit to kill him instantly, not wishing to waste any more time.

"You... you..."

The Red Ghost looked at Gao Xin with horror, as if staring at an imposing Shura demon.

Gao Xin just looked down at him, slowly pulling the knife from his chest, then tensed his muscles and quickly stopped the bleeding.

Strangely, Gao Xin did nothing special, yet the wound began to move and heal rapidly, already scabbing over.

The Red Ghost was puzzled. Had Gao Xin had the chance to exchange for a gene module? Otherwise, a base True Wolf wouldn’t have such high regenerative capabilities!

But he no longer needed to ponder the answer because he was dying. Now reduced to just a head and half a chest, his death was certain.

In his final moments, the Red Ghost smacked his lips and suddenly felt something, his voice coming out hoarse.

"Ha... ha! You... you’re not an SSR..."

"This is the flesh of an N... You’re just an N... just an N!"

He yelled out loud at the very last second of his life.

Gao Xin was stunned, "You’re saying I’m just a Class N Radiation?"

He interrogated, but the Red Ghost was already dead, having used his last breath, his pupils dilated.

"The flesh of an N?"

Gao Xin frowned, touched his own blood, and then looked at the Red Ghost’s.

Indeed, their flesh and blood were the same; there was no fundamental difference.

But this meant he was also a Class N Radiation.

Starting from Class R, the flesh was different. It looked like flesh and blood, but it was actually made of nanomaterials.

Class N, still having DNA, meant it was a failed product of life transition...

"Ah? I... I failed to transition? Am I just recombined genetically?"

"But when I first woke up, I was a True Wolf. Isn’t that supposed to indicate high potential?"

"Or is it because I was an ultimate glass cannon, with good fundamentals, and due to the complete collapse of my body during recombination, I directly transformed into a True Wolf?"

Gao Xin scratched his head, a bit unclear about his actual situation.

What lengths had he gone to become a Radiation? If after all the desperate efforts he just ended up as a Class N, it was truly hard for him to accept...

Thinking this, he glanced towards the door of the Radiation room.

Should he experience gene collapse again?

As far as he knew, it would be useless; otherwise, everyone would have done it. It wouldn’t be said that N, R, SR and the like were insurmountable classes.

For ordinary people to become Radiations, there was still the method of AI’s medicine, but for different Radiations, not even the little Radian could do anything; zero, not even Fake Medicine knew what to fake.

Moreover, Gao Xin had exchanged knowledge about nanogenetics at the Silver Tower, which also mentioned that the only chance was the one-time transition from glass cannon to Radiation, after which the species was set.

Even if gene collapse occurred again, it would just recombine into the same results.

After all, these are distinctly different species. Chimpanzees and Homo sapiens might both evolve from a common ancestor, but chimps can’t just turn into humans directly.

He understood the principle, but Gao Xin still wasn’t convinced. He felt it might be a matter of probability, that it would be different if he was the one doing it.

He had to try!

Gao Xin first opened the main door of the base, looked outside, and saw that no one was coming from the direction of Yamaguchi Village before closing the door again.

"It seems you were right, old man. This Radiation Base can shield detection," Gao Xin spoke to the air.

The material of the Radiation Base was very unique, capable of shielding high doses of radiation since it contained radioactive materials.

However, conversely, it also shielded the so-called barrier covering the whole village of Yamaguchi Village.

In detection, the entire base would appear as a black domain.

Of course, this was the old man’s guess, not necessarily accurate, and could possibly be some kind of AI’s black technology.

But now it seemed to be true. Otherwise, Yamaguchi Village would have already sent a support squad.

Moreover, the Red Ghost’s subordinates had been trying to initiate the alarm in the room, which indirectly indicated that this place required manual alarm activation.

"Creak!"

Gao Xin pushed the door of a side room open, checking around the base while munching on the well-cooked steak from the Red Ghost he was holding, savoring it happily.

Soon, with the help of the old man’s knowledge, Gao Xin located the storage for radioactive substances.

However, opening that chamber required a password.

"Oh? That easy?"

Gao Xin talked to the air again, then operated on the nearby computer.

After a little while, the password lock for the chamber went off, and then he ran to a nearby instrument and pulled an emergency brake lever.

Clang, the door opened...

Yes, there was a password.

But the main control console for the entire base was right here. Gao Xin simply eliminated the password.
