Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Artificial Superhuman
Although I had agreed, I still harbored so doubts about Sandora’s plan.
I constantly felt as if I were one of those deranged scientists who experinted on living people…
“Don’t worry, there won’t be any problems,” Sandora assured once more. “This kind of radiation won’t harm the body even if it doesn’t stimulate superpowers. Besides, those rcenaries may not be very strong, but their resistance abilities are certainly stronger than those of Qianqian and Chen Qian, who are ordinary people. What else do you have to worry about? You should know, people who have a certain resistance but aren’t completely immune to radiation are quite rare experintal material!”
I looked at Sandora, who was radiating research mania, and then at Lin Xue, who was in a Divine Travel State with a pile of bizarre components not far away, feeling there was so overlap between the two in certain aspects.
“Okay, letting them undergo radiation isn’t out of the question, but we need to explain the situation to them and the potential dangers. We absolutely can’t force them.”
“They will definitely be crying and begging to agree!”
Sandora said with absolute confidence.
In a makeshift barracks to the southwest of the base, Sandora and I t Reck, who was curiously inspecting the alloy room.
Other than the day we brought Pandora back, this was only the second ti Reck and I had t, and I didn’t have a particularly strong impression of this robust and honest-faced middle-aged man. However, his mory was clearly much sharper than mine; he recognized us imdiately from our brief encounter, though recalling our nas seed sowhat difficult for this otherworldly person.
“So, let reintroduce myself,” I signaled an excited Reck to sit back down, then pointed to Sandora and said, “We are the leaders here. My na is Chen Jun, and this is Sandora Kelvy Yurasis.”
Reck’s face didn’t show too much surprise. After coming to this magical place and witnessing all sorts of unbelievable things, he had beco sowhat numb to the point that he wasn’t at all startled that soone as ordinary-looking as could be the leader of this base.
“First of all, you need to know that we don’t belong to this world.”
I cut straight to the chase, and then for so reason, the ridiculous line “Actually, I am an alien” flashed through my mind…
“Actually, I’ve already guessed so of it,” Reck’s face showed only a slight flicker of surprise before he nodded in understanding, “You are very different from the humans of this world—are you from the Different Plane the Great Mages speak of?”
“Your world’s Magic Civilization is very imperfect,” Sandora reverted to her prideful Xyrin Conqueror deanor in front of an outsider, speaking without mincing words. “Your Magic Masters postulated the existence of Different Planes, but their understanding is far too skewed. The world we co from is much more distant and unimaginable than you can grasp. All you need to know is this: the Xyrin Empire has been hunting Abyss Power—for you, Demon Power—for a very long ti. We’ve pursued this power across countless planes, and your eroded world is just one of the most insignificant battlefields in this hunt.”
Well, how should I put it, the truth was, we were just out traveling at first…
Yep, traveling to the Sahara Desert over the New Year…
Sandora’s introduction left Reck reeling, his mouth agape for a long ti before he could process it.
Before then, he had already cycled through countless theories about why these powerful beings from another world had co here, considering every possibility from best to worst, but he hadn’t foreseen that they would specialize in hunting those terrifying Demon Powers!
There are people who specialize in hunting such a dreadful power?
However, thinking of their formidable strength and their particularly effective thods of attacking demonized creatures, Reck accepted this explanation.
As a result, the image of Sandora and inflated imnsely in Reck’s mind in a matter of seconds, reaching almost Savior-like proportions…
Watching Reck’s increasingly fervent gaze, even a pig would guess what was on his mind, but this was a good developnt for Sandora and for what we had to do next.
“So, may I ask how we can be of assistance?”
Reck asked urgently, even though he knew his rcenary Group was of modest strength, but since the Fire Blade rcenary Corps had been summoned here today, it proved that there must be a way they could help!
Consequently, I recounted to Reck the plan I had previously agreed upon with Sandora. Of course, in order to make Reck understand better, I had to slightly embellish the details.
“That is to say, in order to more easily eliminate the Abyss Power in this world and to allow the natives to have the strength to independently combat a potential second incursion in the future, we are trying to enhance the various abilities of the humans in this world. We have already achieved considerable success, but we need a group of volunteers to help us complete this experint,”
I concluded as such.
Reck fell into deep thought.
Although he didn’t understand the aning of “volunteer,” it was clear that both he and his companions were brought here to be used as test subjects; however, the other party hadn’t resorted to force to make them submit, but rather was seeking their opinion, which at least proved there was no malice involved and that they truly intended to eliminate those Demon Powers.
Reck yearned for strength, and everyone in this world knew the importance of power, but he also knew there was no such thing as a free lunch; power obtained without effort was unlikely to co easily.
Seeing a flicker of hesitation on Reck’s face, I knew what he was worried about, so I candidly said, “This process might have accidents, could fail, or might produce so minor side effects, but I can assure you, even in the event of a failure, you will not be hard. Our technological approach places safety first.”
Hearing my words, Reck dispelled his last bit of doubt. Since I had openly admitted the experint could fail, my words seed all the more credible.
“I personally have no objections, and even if there are risks, I am willing to undertake them,” Reck nodded firmly, “but I must ask for my companions’ opinions.”
“That’s only fair.” I nodded in agreent.
That very night, I saw all mbers of the Fire Blade rcenary Corps standing before . From their resolute expressions, I already knew their decision.
Then, I noticed a heavy-looking sack thrown behind Reck, which seed to have sothing moving inside it.
“What’s this?” I walked up curiously.
“This is just so personal luggage, you don’t need to…” Before Reck could finish, the sack was suddenly ripped open from the inside, and a slim young man in his twenties with brown short hair and dark skin erged, then began to forcefully remove the rag from his mouth.
“No way, you’ve been driven to such straits just to make a living?”
I exclaid in shock.
The sister, who had beco sly at so point, covered her mouth and laughed, “Hehe, I thought there was a little girl in here… It seems you’re not very familiar with this line of business, a commodity like this wouldn’t be easy to sell… Well, there are still so nobles who have a taste for it…”
“That’s not it!” The young man, whom I had mistaken for a victim of human trafficking, finally regained his ability to speak, “I just don’t want to participate in this dangerous… umph…”
Reck retracted the fist that had just knocked the other man out, grinned at and said, “The whole Corps agrees, the whole Corps agrees…”
…Uncle, this is a cri…
Despite this little interlude, the construction plan for the first Otherworldly Superhuman Corps progressed officially. Since the process also had a high safety factor, I didn’t concern myself further with the skinny man’s protests.
