Chapter 125: Chapter 110: Special Mutant, The Seven Deadly Sins! (Extra 1 for alliance leader ’Brilliance of the Night’ and book friends)
"Did you kill him?"
Orba looked at Pier, who lay completely still with his mouth smashed to a pulp, and felt somewhat disappointed.
Living Mutants were obviously more valuable.
Brian shook his head, "He should not be dead yet, but I suggest we kill him directly, this Mutant is very strange, very dangerous!"
Under the puzzled gazes of everyone.
He asked a soldier for a dagger, then cut his palm open and dripped his fresh blood onto Pier’s battered mouth.
At first, the blood just slid normally towards the inside of the mouth, but after a few seconds, Pier’s torn and battered mouth strangely began to wriggle, speeding up the flow of Brian’s blood into its oral cavity, as if actively sucking.
After absorbing nearly two hundred milliliters of Brian’s blood,
One by one, bullets were forcibly squeezed out from inside Pier’s mouth, and Pier, who had been motionless, began to undergo a transformation.
A little more than a minute later.
A tall and thin Pier, skin and bones, opened his eyes somewhat dazedly.
He looked at the people gathered around him, appearing somewhat afraid, until he saw Brian and his expression relaxed, "I remember you, the fragrant TV interviewer, are these your colleagues?"
Brian did not respond to him, but began to explain everything that had happened to the puzzled Orba and others.
Of course, he made sure to embellish the story a bit.
Seeing that Brian was ignoring him, Pier touched his stomach, intending to find something to eat in the kitchen.
This action immediately drew the wariness of several soldiers.
They aimed their automatic rifles at various parts of Pier, ready to fire without hesitation at the slightest sign of resistance!
Confronted with the dark muzzles aimed at him, Pier suddenly burst into loud crying.
Seeing this.
Orba seemed thoughtful and waved his hand.
Only then did the soldiers step aside.
Seeing them move away, Pier no longer cared about being afraid and stumbled toward the kitchen.
Watching his retreating figure, Orba looked solemnly at Brian, "Brian, have you ever heard of the seven deadly sins?"
"The seven deadly sins?"
Brian nodded, "Of course, pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, lust. Could it be that Pier’s special trait as a Mutant is related to gluttony?"
Orba nodded,
"According to your description, it’s very likely.
The abilities of Mutants originate from a combination of the Spirit and Blood Moon Radiation.
The seven deadly sins almost encompass all the negative aspects of human nature, and nearly everyone carries them to a certain extent.
But the emotions of those children are the most pure.
If they have never received guidance and have always acted on instinct, what ability do you think they are most likely to awaken?"
Without hesitation, Brian quickly said, "Eating!"
This was not only a human instinct but an instinct of all living beings.
Orba nodded,
"Yes, eating!
Mutants like Pier are called Gluttons and belong to one type of the Mutants of the seven deadly sins.
You may think he looked normal just now.
But it’s all a facade!
Hunger is all he has.
Sin embodiment Mutants, they don’t have any humanity, only desires.
As they grow, they become as terrifying as the Mutant Beasts, and completely different creatures from the common Mutants we encounter.
Their evil Spirit is too pure, making them all enormously powerful, yet their mind is not even as developed as those Mutant Beasts that haven’t yet lost control.
Take Gluttons, for example.
According to NW’s records, most of the Gluttons found are either children or beggars.
They have suffered cruel ordeals or have significant mental health issues. If they happen to be extremely hungry during Blood Moon Radiation, they develop an insatiable desire to eat.
They can never be satisfied.
If not discovered in time, they will consume everything edible, grow increasingly huge, until their bodies collapse and die."
"No humanity?" Brian felt uneasy. "But didn’t he just show fear?"
Without humanity, how could he fulfill his brother Pier’s dying obsession to instill fear in Pier?
"It’s just an act," Orba shrugged. "Have you ever seen a normal person, after being scared, act like a normal person again and run off to find something to eat?"
Brian nodded, "Alright."
Orba licked his somewhat dry lips and continued to educate Brian,
"The worst part is, the special components inside Mutants of the seven sins, once they leave the body, they gradually lose activity and have absolutely no research or containment value, yet they pose a great danger to society.
So, typically once they’re discovered, they’re executed on the spot."
...
Brian pondered upon hearing this.
No wonder he felt that Pier, the young Mutant, was too powerful and comprehensive—it turned out he was a Special Mutant on par with Mutant Beasts.
Perhaps,
Pier’s stunted growth was due to the ample feed available here, and his daily feed consumption had inhibited his development.
Brian looked at Orba, "So you’re saying we did all this for nothing today?"
Now he could only hope that after Pier died, he would drop an Obsession.
Orba shook his head,
"Not necessarily, at least we dealt with a threat, and there will be a decent bonus.
As for merit points, don’t even think about it.
Those are reserved for precious reagents.
Special reagents, you can hardly buy with money outside.
If it weren’t for the base restricting the trade of reagents, any treatment reagent taken outside could sell for at least a million dollars, much more cost-effective than exchanging money with merit points through internal personnel."
Brian nodded deeply in agreement.
He had thought about exchanging the reagents for money before.
But Susan had warned him not to do so.
If it was just to exchange reagents for personal use, it wasn’t much of an issue.
But if he used merit points to exchange for reagents and then sold them, getting caught by NW could be very troublesome, even life-threatening.
For Brian, money wasn’t an issue; small amounts he had plenty, and the large sums weren’t significant enough, so he eventually let Susan help him find someone within the base to exchange for money.
This must also be a rule set deliberately by the founders of NW.
The people below either risk their lives to capture Mutants, or rely on their abilities to develop various reagents in order to earn merit points.
If these people wanted the benefits of the reagents, then let them exchange merit points for reagents and give them a taste of the sweetness.
If the people wanted money or other things, then enforce regulations that forced them to exchange their merit points with qualified ’internal’ people for the desired goods and money.
This avoided resource outflow and set a cap on the exchange rate for merit points, ensuring it would never be too high.
A clear-cut stratagem.
...
While they were talking,
New noise came from inside the house.
Pier, who had been tall and slender just moments ago, had turned back into a big round ball, greedily eyeing everyone outside with a hunger in his eyes, "Meat, so much meat, and such delicious meat..."
Brian felt a chill down his spine as he watched Pier, who had recovered fully except for his eyes and Wolong Valley.
Just some feed, and he was back to full health!
What a freak of nature indeed!
Orba seemed to have anticipated this and showed no particular reaction.
He waved to the soldiers behind him and pulled out a rifle of an indiscategorble model from his back:
"The seven deadly Mutants each possess peculiar abilities.
The most twisted thing about the Glutton is their recovery power. As long as they’re not killed outright, even grass can slowly heal their injuries. If placed in the era of matchlock guns, they’re indeed a hassle, but now..."
Orba pulled the trigger.
Da da da~
Special bullets sprayed from the barrel, hitting squarely on Pier, who was in the throes of Gluttony and stupidly obvlivious.
Torn pelvic cavities appeared on his body like spots, surfacing across his skin.
Vast amounts of yellow-brown, jelly-like substance flowed from those cavities, releasing a foul stench.
Without taking a single step,
The big fellow, who had chased Brian into such a frenzy, knelt on the ground and shrank back down.
"What kind of bullets are these?"
"Armor-piercing incendiary bullets, made of a special material. They’re mostly maintained for circulation within the organization. But they ensure sufficient lethality against Mutants with bizarre abilities!"
Orba fired a dozen shots, seemingly grudging the expense, and waved at the soldiers.
Together, they headed toward the helicopter.
...
Elsewhere,
Pier was sufficiently twisted.
He extended his long tongue and incredibly licked up the yellow-brown substance from the ground, self-sufficiently removing all the special bullets that had entered his body.
Observing this, Orba’s face turned grim.
Brian chuckled, "I think with this creature, you either snap its neck directly or use Incendiary Bombs; otherwise, it’s just too revolting."
Meanwhile,
The soldiers had unloaded two M134 rotary machine guns from the helicopter, placing them in front of the house.
Orba stretched out his hand to Brian, "Want to try the joy of firing hundreds of bullets per second?"
This thing was basically an egalitarian Gatling.
The seven deadly Mutants, ruled by lust, devoid of humanity.
Pier even...
Such a creature deserved no sympathy when being killed!
Brian rubbed his hands together, unceremoniously approached one of the M134 rotary guns, familiarized himself with its operation, and then pulled the trigger.
In the next moment!
A fiery dragon spewed forth.
Brian, feeling hardly any recoil, watched countless shell casings fly as everything before him was torn apart by the torrent of bullets.
Pier, who had just recovered, albeit a bit smaller, was silenced and shredded into bits under the barrage of a hundred bullets per second.
Not only that.
The wooden house behind Pier was also riddled with countless bullet holes, eventually shattering all its supporting columns and starting to collapse.
"Awesome!"
Brian emptied a large ammunition drum before contentedly releasing his hold.
Now that was a man’s romance!
This experience deepened Brian’s conviction in staying low-profile.
Flesh was truly frail before these modern weapons.
"All right, we’ll leave the scene cleanup to the logistics personnel. We’ll collaborate again in the future, Brian." Orba paused for a moment, "I feel you run into Mutants at an unusually high rate. Working with you, I won’t be short of opportunities to earn merit points, ha ha ha."
When the helicopter had vanished into the sky,
Brian, standing amidst bullet-ridden ground, stepped over to where Pier had exploded and picked up an Obsession Little Ball, three times the size of a normal person’s, and lightly crushed it.
The Obsession Little Ball turned into a red beam and shot into Brian’s eyes.
The next moment.
An idea came to Brian’s mind: Eat to satisfaction!
"Truly pure obsession."
Brian snickered and looked at the reward he would receive.
With such a large Obsession Little Ball, the reward was bound to be substantial!
