261. Chapter 261: Analysis Successful! Drain The Boys Dry!
Seeing this, Hughie on the side breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Between you and me, it should be an equal cooperation." Perhaps emboldened by the superpower he gained, Billy's attitude towards Xia Shang gradually became tougher.
"You want to turn on me?" Xia Shang retracted his tentacles, his tone calm.
The blade tentacles embedded in the Iron Door retracted into his right hand like a taut rubber band.
"I didn't mean that. I just don't want my team to be buried in this hellhole because of someone's meaningless demands."
Billy looked at Xia Shang with a serious expression.
"If you don't want to turn on me, then stay put obediently. If you're bored, I don't mind you going outside to find some fun." Xia Shang didn't indulge Billy at all.
Although the other party's strength had improved astonishingly after being injected with Temporary Compound V, it wasn't enough for him to look at them highly.
"I suddenly remembered that when I first entered the Laboratory, I found some confidential information. Billy, help me take a look; there's some content on it that I don't understand."
Having spent over a year with Billy, how could Hughie not know Billy's bad temper? Sometimes the guy was calm and collected, looking like a competent leader, but other times he was like he'd taken explosives, reckless and easily angered, completely unable to control his temper. It was like he had two different personalities.
Hughie pulled Billy out of the Room, whispering as they walked.
"Don't forget how the Mysterious Person took down that group of SWAT. Since we can't afford to provoke him, we should stay away from him."
"Running away won't solve the problem."
Hughie's earnest advice only resulted in Billy frowning deeply.
"Did you inject the Temporary Compound V?" Billy suddenly asked.
"..." Hughie was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Not yet."
"Hurry up and inject it. We don't have much time left."
Billy glanced in Xia Shang's direction.
As time passed bit by bit, the sense of crisis in his heart grew heavier.
It wasn't that he didn't understand what Hughie meant, and he also knew that with their current strength, they probably wouldn't stand a chance against the Mysterious Person.
But Billy didn't want to sit back and wait for death. Although he didn't know what was inside the iron cabinet, judging from the Mysterious Person's reaction, it was either the superpower weapon Mallory mentioned that could kill Supes, or it was Soldier Boy, whom the Mysterious Person had been planning for a long time.
Once the Mysterious Person got what he wanted.
Their group would lose their use value to Xia Shang. And what happens to something that has no value goes without saying.
"We are now like wild beasts trapped in a furnace. As the charcoal fire burns more and more fiercely, life gradually approaches its finish line. At this moment, there are only two choices before us: find a gap to escape, or smash the furnace."
"Is it that serious?" Hughie was a little incredulous.
"Maybe you're overthinking it."
Hughie showed an expression of incomprehension. In his opinion, there was no deep revenge between them and the Mysterious Person. Of course, excluding the time Billy backstabbed the Mysterious Person, but the Mysterious Person didn't seem to be injured, and even counter-killed a Pure White Witch.
"I know you never trust Supes, but there's no need to treat every Supe as an imaginary enemy, right?" Hughie said speechlessly.
He even suspected Billy had developed paranoid delusions.
"I also hope I'm overthinking it." Billy looked at the warning lights on the wall that kept flashing red.
"But no matter what, making more preparations is never a bad thing."
"I agree with what you said."
Unlike Billy, Hughie didn't hesitate when faced with the impending superpower. Instead, he even pulled out the injection excitedly. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. Watching the green liquid overflowing from the needle tip, his heart pounded. "Come on." Hughie curled his lips, pointed the needle at the skin of his left arm, and after finding a blood vessel, he injected it.
"Hiss!"
He slowly pushed the syringe's plunger to the top.
In an instant, a cold liquid spread throughout his whole body along his blood.
"This feeling..." A hint of evil seemed to stain the smile on Hughie's face. He gripped his fist slightly, somewhat intoxicated, and said ecstatically, immersed in the strength: "At this moment, I seem to be able to destroy everything. This strength..."
Hughie suddenly squeezed the corner of a nearby table.
The table corner, made of steel, was actually deformed by his squeeze!
"Wow, Unbelievable!"
"Shouldn't you be holding the Temporary Compound V and saying, 'Oh, my precious'?" Billy couldn't help but mock him when he saw him like this.
"What's undeniable is that I'm at least better looking than Gollum wearing the One Ring."
Hughie said indifferently.
At this time, outside the Laboratory, five tanks and more than a dozen armored vehicles had already gathered.
"Colonel Boris, the several Special Forces teams sent in earlier have completely lost contact with us." A Russian soldier saluted Colonel Boris, who walked up beside him.
"Can you establish contact with the invaders?"
Boris's military uniform could not hide his burly figure.
"We haven't tried yet."
"No need to try." Boris's complexion was particularly gloomy.
"Gather all firepower. If they don't come out after three minutes, directly bomb this Laboratory into ruins. MD, these damn American thieves!" A thought flashed through Boris's mind about protecting the important information in the Laboratory, but it was just a flash. Compared to that important information, he wanted to kill the American thieves inside more.
At the same time.
Xia Shang's analysis progress had already reached its end.
"How much longer do we have to wait here?" Kimiko gestured to Frenchie.
In response, Frenchie shook his head, indicating he didn't know either.
[Analyze Successful]
[Talent Skill: Super Defense]
[Fusion Condition: Break Soldier Boy's Defense and Injure him]
[After Fuse, the Player's Body surface Skin Strength will be greatly increased, and it will also possess characteristics such as resistance to high and low temperatures.
At the same time, conventional Weapons will not be able to cause Injury to the Player. (Provided it is in a normal state)]
This is what Xia Shang wanted.
Carbon Superlattice combined with Super Defense is basically the Defense Ceiling of the Two-Star World.
If he wanted to improve further, it would only be possible in a Three-Star World. Based on the strength of the Two-Star World, Xia Shang estimated that the upper limit of the Three-Star World should be Planet-level or Universe-level.
Don't look at him seemingly invincible now; once he reaches the Three-Star World, he'll probably have to keep his tail between his legs for a while.
However, before ascending to the Three-Star World, Xia Shang wouldn't leave without draining The Boys dry.
