Starting as a Mechanical Hunter-Chapter 360 - 130: Mass-Produced Captains
If it were the flesh carpet of the Crimson Empress version, the military aircraft would have crashed through nine times out of ten.
After all, in the system panel, this thing belongs to the Level 2 Civilization - War Weapon.
What kind of standard is this?
In a Level 2 Civilization, small nuclear bombs are also considered ’conventional weapons’ and are on the same level.
A single infantry weapon being on par with a nuclear bomb is incredibly terrifying.
Yet, Gao Gong’s Flesh Carpet managed to block it.
The reason is simple. When weaving the Flesh Carpet, Gao Gong edited in all those genetic fragments and bloodline fragments.
These genetic fragments are the remnants of a Level 2 Civilization species, at least on par with the Crimson Empress, even if they are just fragments. Under the contribution of hundreds or thousands of these fragments, the Crimson Flesh Carpet mutated into an indescribable existence.
Its surface seemed to be covered with dense fur, which looked like some alien fungus, and then it turned into green bubbles. In the bubbles, it seemed as if laughter was heard, which quickly transformed into screams. Scattered large mouths appeared on the flesh wall, their teeth crystalline purple, emitting a peculiar radiation power that caused bubbles to appear on steel creations of various sizes.
Watching the bubbles suddenly cover the face of the military aircraft, even Heavy Hammer David issued a terrified scream and struggled madly. What the hell is this thing!
Honestly, Gao Gong himself didn’t quite understand.
[You applied the ’???’ status to Heavy Hammer Martin]

The next moment, Gao Gong suddenly ducked his head. A circular shield slashed against the flesh wall, and the serrated edges of the shield began to spin, instantly tearing out countless pieces of minced meat.
Gao Gong turned and saw a character that looked like a comic book version of Captain America, beckoning with one hand as the Blood Drop Shield retracted in a flash into his arm.
"Can you also fight all day?"
Roger wasted no words. His whole body was enveloped in thick smoke, and he seemed to get ten years younger, changing from an adult in his thirties to a young man in his twenties. Some fine wrinkles and scars on his face completely disappeared, and the tiny pieces of flesh that had invaded him instantly lost contact.
Carbon Fusion, is it.
Carbon Fusion being a signature move of Carbon-Based Species, can result in two extreme traits, either extreme exclusivity or extreme fusion.
What the opponent demonstrated was extreme fusion.
The next moment, Roger’s silhouette vanished, and so did Gao Gong’s.
With the aid of ’Action Potential,’ Gao Gong’s chain attack and attack calibration increased by 1% per second, quickly reaching 150%.
The sound bursts instantly became continuous, like an artillery camp repeatedly bombarding the area, but they were air cannons.

But in the state of Carbon Fusion, Roger was stunned to find that the life force the opponent exhibited was no less than his own.
It wasn’t just life force; the opponent also seemed to contain another type of force.
That was a pure mechanical force!
With the support of dual systems, Action Potential, and two combat templates, even with Roger’s superhuman combat skills, he could only manage a stalemate in close combat and forget about decapitation. The reason was simple.
The opponent had no vital points!
Another air explosion sounded, and two figures emerged. Roger retreated awkwardly, his foot stomping on a block of frozen granite, shattering it into pieces.
Gao Gong also fell, the flesh carpet below catching him, and with its help, Gao Gong rapidly regenerated.
Both were regeneration monsters. Under Carbon Fusion, Roger’s bloodline regenerative capacity was on par with some A-level bloodlines.
The only weakness was the time limitation.
Once the time ended, this Super Regeneration State, what players jokingly called ’Hero Mode,’ would instantly vanish.
Their wounds were both healing rapidly, but the patterns on Gao Gong increased.
During the fight, Gao Gong occasionally glanced between his legs, biological transformation wasn’t something he made in his past life, combined with a sudden ten-point transformation.
What if he lost this Rich Lady Killing Weapon?
A glance at the struggling military machinery, under the bizarre mixed state, Heavy Hammer David’s condition was extremely poor. An eyeball popped out, and in the other, several ringworms crawled.
"By the way, why is the Powerful Gang giving me trouble? Last I recalled, you were co-opted, so it’s actually the Illusionary Union, this new giant, coming after me?"
The appearance of two members from the Powerful Gang immediately made Gao Gong think that his ’Laughing Bat’ chip had been discovered.
However, that didn’t quite add up. If it truly had been discovered, more than just two people would be here.
Gao Gong was at ease, yet Roger had no time for idle chat since his ’burst out’ had a time limitation. He swept a glance at Heavy Hammer and roared loudly.
"Heavy Hammer, go berserk!"
Almost simultaneously, Heavy Hammer David let out a crazed scream. Four implants abruptly drilled into this guy’s limbs, penetrating his viscera, and at the same time, his aura began to rise rapidly. One after another, skull faces appeared on his skin.
"An imperfect biomechanical technology, seemingly mixed in with some biotechnology and personality modification, what a mess."
"Besides, why would I be so foolish as to wait for you to finish charging up your move before attacking you?"
With a single thought, the air began to sizzle. Although Gao Gong’s Thunder Control was just at a basic level, combined with the ’Crimson Empress’ ability, the range of this move was extraordinarily large.
In almost an instant, for dozens of miles around, the lightning flashed intermittently with purple lightning and strange energy lightning shooting out in specific areas, all reacting uniquely with certain genetic fragments.
Although Heavy Hammer David wasn’t particularly unlucky to get hit by these special lightning bolts.
But one shouldn’t use electronics on rainy days!
The nearby lightning was instantly attracted to it, flickering wildly across the military machine’s surface.
The opponent’s blood volume dropped rapidly!
And Heavy Hammer David was frothing at the mouth, his head shaking uncontrollably.
It’s said this guy likes to kill lolis, and those who do so have a bad end!
A sound burst rang out, and Roger appeared right in front, with a spherical sound wave on his fist. This guy’s combat skill was unbelievably strong, to some extent even mastering the use of sound waves, which is a skill only superpower users possess.
However, Gao Gong had long been prepared for this. With a quick step back and forth, his fist viciously pounded into the opponent’s abdomen.
His speed was so fast, like a bolt of lightning.
This move came with ’Genetic Slash’, although it didn’t deliver a fatal blow, it consumed a third of the opponent’s blood volume in an instant.
As Gao Gong withdrew, white smoke smoked out from his two arms and thighs, like a human boiler.
Qi and Blood Circulation (Mutation): By accelerating the circulation of blood within the human body, gain immense power. For every 150 points of biological energy consumed, Power +1, and by tapping into the body’s potential radiation power, attain special transformation effects.
In an instant, Gao Gong’s Power and Agility each increased by 100 points, delivering a crushing damage.
The next moment, Gao Gong’s fist mercilessly smashed into the opponent’s head. Even with a shield blocking it, the shield shattered, and the punch landed on the opponent’s head, once again taking away a significant portion of his blood volume.
The surface of Gao Gong’s fist transformed into a special anti-echo structure, capable of focusing the force of the blow into a single point, shattering the shield to devastating effect.
This is the transformation bonus of the ’Species Butcher’. Once transformation is complete, Critical Strike Rate +100%~200%, Chain Attack Rate +50%~100%, Vital Kill +30%~50%.
It isn’t that the opponent isn’t strong, but just a level 40 elite template super soldier, how can they contend with a monster possessing two templates, two systems, and taking the fusion route.
Holding back doesn’t kill, killing doesn’t hold back.
Transformation plus chain attacks, in just ten seconds, the opponent was pounded to bits by Gao Gong.
Upon his death, the opponent’s ’Carbon Fusion’ hadn’t even been deactivated yet. Thus, even turned to pieces, the body still maintained strong vitality, and most parts were still actively moving.
[You killed one of the ’Powerful Gang Nine’, Experience +50000, Specialization +1, Skill Point +3, Random Blueprint +1]
[Your Reputation (Nightless City) +1000]
[You’re in ’hostile relations’ with the Powerful Gang]
Gao Gong stomped fiercely on the shield, and the remaining half of the shield was propelled into Gao Gong’s arm.
Name: Serrated Shield (Damaged)
Category: Mechanical Shield
Quality: Tier 2 - Fine
Weight: 63kg
Basic Attributes: Defense Value 0/3000

Note: A dangerous close combat weapon, ostensibly a shield, but actually a killing weapon
This shield is quite similar to an earlier piece of Gao Gong’s equipment, the ’High-speed Microcomputer Tiger’, albeit a high-end version.
"Remote Control Mode is understandable, but what’s with the Link Mode?"
Gao Gong mused to himself, glancing briefly toward the eastern sky.
"We’ve been discovered," Pupil stated calmly.
"He doesn’t think we’re here to benefit from two parties at odds, does he?" Chapai mused, stroking his chin.
"No," Collider smirked, "The two parties at odds haven’t even ended yet, why would the fisherman step in prematurely."
Seeing the two looking at him, Collider twisted his neck.
"Remember when I said earlier that the other side is good at replication?"
"What do you mean?"
"It means they’ve already mastered mass production of super soldiers."
As expected, one launch pod after another descended from the sky, ten in total. As the ’creak’ sounds rendered, the cabin doors opened, and one ’Roger’ after another walked out.
A total of ten Rogers.
Ten Super Captains.
