Chapter 429 Evolution or Not

Chapter 429 Evolution or Not

During the time when everyone was silent, Han Zu's recovery rate had increased by several levels. First, he recovered from the giant state to the normal state, and secondly, all parts of his body were almost fully grown. However, the specific reason is not clear at present. His body is now unable to maintain a normal biological form. He now looks a bit like a liquid alloy robot in a high temperature environment. To describe it in detail, Han Zu is now a ball of liquid alloy that maintains a human form with unclear facial features.

Moreover, Han Zu in this form felt very strange. He could not use any power now, but he could feel that his ability of energy conversion seemed to have reached a higher level. With a simple touch, he could clearly feel the pipes hidden in the ship's hull that transported energy everywhere. He could even use the direction of the energy to directly locate all the energy storage units on the entire ship. However, he only knew their direction and his specific location still needed to be found.

This unique perception of energy has a much wider range than his normal perception ability, but it is very general and not very accurate. However, so far, Han Zu can feel that his body has become much heavier. In addition to being unable to use any abilities, he also feels that his speed has decreased a lot, and he moves a bit like a human who has just learned to walk. And the most important point is that he seems to be able to only maintain this humanoid liquid alloy form, but in Han Zu's cognition, he should have been repaired.

"Well... it seems that you are right. He... is indeed not a hunter. At least I have never seen such a hunter... What did you say he did?"

"He tried to stop an unstable explosion of a super energy source, and judging by the results, he succeeded."

"And then he just melted into liquid?"

"Yes, the alloy-like luster on his body is probably related to the large amount of element 12 he absorbed before, but we are not sure. Maybe we need to examine him?"

It was very strange. Although the contractor's equipment on his body was long gone, Han Zu could now fully understand the conversation between the Tiger people next to him. Although this was curious, it was considered a good thing.

"beep."

"Oh, sorry."

"fine."

“…Ah ...

"Boom!"

While the others were still discussing, Han Zu, who was beside them, had left them without knowing when, opened the door of Medical Room No. 3 and walked out. This was actually a very strange thing, because Xu had locked the door, and without his authorization code, these doors with electromagnetic locks could not be opened from the inside. But no one had time to notice this.

Han Zu, who had just walked out of the medical room, had not had time to turn around and look at the corridors on both sides when someone suddenly bumped into him. However, the strange scene appeared again. The person who bumped into Han Zu directly bumped into Han Zu's body, making some liquid hitting sounds. The person who bumped into Han Zu instinctively said sorry, but when he raised his head and saw Han Zu's appearance, he was frightened and fainted after a series of screams. He fell to the ground with a muffled sound.

Everyone in the medical room immediately ran out of the room and saw the crew member lying on the ground, and Han Zu, whose upper body was broken apart and strangely floating in the air in liquid form. He was trying to restore his broken upper body, but the speed was not fast.

"what happened?!"

"This guy accidentally bumped into me, and then he must have fainted from shock."

"Oh...wait a minute, how come you can speak our language now? Has your Renegade equipment been restored? No, that's impossible. With that level of energy impact, the Renegade equipment cannot be left unscathed."

"I have indeed lost the traitors' equipment you mentioned. In fact, I don't know why I can speak your language all of a sudden."

"what are you guys saying?"

Unlike Han Zu, Gloria could not understand the language of the Tigris. Without the contractor's equipment, barrier-free communication was impossible. However, Gloria could understand a few words, but they were not important words.

He simply told Gloria about his sudden ability to speak fluently, and the latter did not find it strange. After all, although suddenly learning a language was novel, it was far less shocking than the liquid alloy man that Gloria was witnessing now.

"..Forget it, this matter is not important now, Xu, we have to give this guy a disguise, otherwise if he runs around in this form, it will attract unnecessary attention and panic."

"Get him a set of armor, the kind used for training will do. This guy's abilities are already very strong, so he doesn't need extra protection or weapons."

"Put this on first. We have to go to the ordnance department to get training armor. It's not close to here, and I can't just dismiss the crew members who are working. This can be used as a temporary disguise."

Xu returned to the medical room and took out a set of pharmacist's tights and a medical protective head cover. It would take several minutes to put on these tights, but for Han Zu, who was currently in the state of liquid alloy, as long as there was an opening, putting on this outfit was a matter of a flash.

"What should we do with this guy? Judging from his uniform, he must be a new soldier."

"That's easy. There's a cabin next to it for treating damaged memories. Just send him in. When he wakes up, just say he accidentally hurt his head during training."

"Captain, what happened? I just heard someone screaming outside?"

Coincidentally, after Han Zu put on the pharmacist's tights, the door of another nearby medical cabin was opened, and a pharmacist came out and asked what happened.

"Oh, it's nothing serious. This new recruit hit his head during training and may have some mild hallucinations. It's a good opportunity to send him for treatment."

"clear."

The problem of the recruit fainting from fright was quickly resolved, and everyone got through this little episode safely.

"Let's go, let's go to the ordnance first..."

"Captain, Extermination Order No. 3 has been installed. We have received a call from headquarters and need you to return to the bridge."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

The gunboat's navigator sent a message to Captain Xu, saying that he needed to return to the bridge because he had received an order from headquarters.

"There's news from headquarters. You can go to the ordnance department and wait for me first, or you can do it yourself. Anyway, we are familiar with the process. I will directly agree to your authorization."

Xu immediately returned to the bridge, while the others took Han Zu and Gloria to the armory.

On the way, Han Zu seemed to have auditory hallucinations. He always felt that there was a voice whispering in his ear. He followed the direction of the voice and looked back several times, but he didn't see anything. The whispering sound was not small, although it was vague, but if it really existed, then the Tige team and Gloria next to them could not be completely deaf to it. However, judging from their condition, they really couldn't hear these whispering sounds.

So Han Zu didn't take it seriously at all.

Ten minutes later, in front of the elevator leading to the ordnance department.

Compared to the area near the medical room just now, there are more people here. All kinds of soldiers and officers are active here, as well as many engineers and gunsmiths. However, now the team is not so conspicuous, because before in the medical room, they had changed their clothes and put on the tight combat uniforms with their military ranks sent by Xu.

Although Han Zu was wearing pharmacist's clothes, there were many pharmacists active on the battlefield as military doctors in the Tige army, so it was normal.

The abnormal thing was Han Zu. His vision and hearing seemed to be a little abnormal. To others, including Gloria, it seemed that there were just a lot of people communicating with each other in front of them, and there was nothing else. But in Han Zu's perspective, these people were not only standing in front of them, he could also see the energy of the weapons or equipment on these people, and the direction of their flow.

The same was true for hearing. Perhaps due to the regulations on the ship, the sounds of discussions and conversations around were kept in a state where they could be heard clearly but not too loud. So even though there were a lot of people here, it would not feel noisy at all normally. But to Han Zu, this place was no different from a battlefield where a raid was being carried out. Everyone's voices were ridiculously loud. By carefully listening, he could even hear what several people at the other end of the corridor were saying.

Han Zu shook his head, trying to drive these voices out of his head. His body remained in liquid form and deformed several times under the hood, but the hood was relatively compact, so from the outside, there was no change.

But this was of no use. Han Zu thought of another way. As long as he focused his attention on one of the voices, he could greatly reduce the impact of other voices. So he began to look for a fixed voice. His initial target was Gloria, but the latter probably did not speak in order to avoid trouble. He then shifted his attention to Xin's team, but coincidentally, none of the team members spoke.

Just when Han Zu was feeling annoyed by these noises, he suddenly remembered the whispers that only he had heard before, so he tried to focus on those whispers. Fortunately, they did not disappear.

By concentrating his attention, the other noises soon disappeared, and at the same time, Han Zu also heard clearly the whispering voices.

As Han Zu followed the team members and Gloria into the elevator, the other sounds became smaller and smaller, and finally disappeared, while the whispers became clearer and clearer. After careful listening, Han Zu discovered that these whispers were not talking, but humming a strange tune over and over again. The tune was not long, with only a little over 20 notes in total. Although this tune was completely unfamiliar to Han Zu and the melody was very strange, Han Zu didn't think there was anything wrong with it until this point. He even felt a little addicted to the tune. What really made Han Zu feel strange was that he couldn't tell whether the person humming the tune was a man or a woman.

The source of this voice was strange, a bit like a person born with a "cathedral-like" ethereal voice, but it was impossible to tell whether it was a man or a woman. This voice was not sharp, but rather deep. And for some reason, Han Zu was very sure that this voice was definitely not made by a machine or an animal, but by a human. Of course, it could also be some unique creature in human form.

It didn't take long before the elevator arrived at the designated floor. The brief prompt sound not only ended the other noisy sounds in Han Zu's mind, but also interrupted the strange and addictive song. Han Zu's hearing returned to normal. The ordnance department outside the elevator, although noisy inside, finally returned to the normal sound range.

With Xu's authorization, the process of obtaining armor and weapons went smoothly. Soon, they were dressed again. After debugging their weapons, they returned to the bridge. At this time, Xu was giving some orders. From his expression, the situation did not seem optimistic.

"what happened?"

"Let's talk about this later, Xin. I know it's too much to ask you to return to the battle now, but I need help right now!"

"Give the order, Lieutenant General. We are ready."

"I received an order from headquarters. They asked me to send a special operations unit to reinforce the space station in Sector 3. I am currently the commander-in-chief of the battle sequence here and cannot spare the time. The other special operations units have basically been sent to the surface to assist in the preparation of Extermination Order No. , so you are the only ones I can use now."

"Star Sector No. 4? Isn't that the rear area? Do they need reinforcements there?"

"You have been missing for more than a year and don't know much about the situation. A large-scale raid occurred in Sector 4 before, and now the safety level has been reduced to a dangerous level. Except for the last few planets, other locations in Sector 4 have been marked as restricted areas by the headquarters. The space station you are seeking help from is the last line of defense for Sector 4. Once the space station is occupied, Sector 4 will be completely out of our control. So this is of great importance and support must arrive."

"But if it's as you said, then there's no point for us to go? Including the two of them, there are eleven of us in total. We can't change the fact that the star zone has fallen, right?"

"You don't need to enter the frontal battlefield. In fact, you are going to recover a storage unit in a server. The situation is urgent and you must set off. I will send you the mission details before you arrive at the space station."

"Huh... okay, I'm planning on taking a break for two days."

"Brother, take a rest and talk to you when you come back. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"

Xu looked at the other soldiers around him, walked to Wu's side, and whispered something to him. Apart from Wu himself, only Han Zu heard what they were saying.

"There's something wrong with this request for help. If the mission cannot be completed, evacuate immediately and I'll handle it from above. Do you understand?"

Xu, who was always methodical in his work, suddenly did something inappropriate. Wu immediately understood the seriousness of the matter. Looking at Xu's serious expression, he nodded.

"Your spaceship is ready. Because the transmission node of the space station has lost contact, we can only use the spaceship to send you there. The specific journey is 49 hours. After you arrive there, the signal may be blocked, so you must pay attention to safety. There will be a frigate parked near the space station, and there should be no interference there. If you need support or emergency evacuation, you must contact the frigate immediately."

"understand!"

The team, which had just returned from the planet below and had not rested yet, set out on their mission again. However, this time they had complete equipment and weapons, as well as two reinforcements, so perhaps their condition was not so bad.

Some time later, the team's temporary spaceship.

"We are about to leave the port now. Do you have anything else to say?"

"That's all. The specific information has been sent to you. You must pay attention to safety. If the mission cannot be completed, then it cannot be completed. After all, it is not stated above that this mission must be completed. Also, you are one of the special combat units supporting you. Don't show off. Do you hear me?"

"Don't worry, brother. We still have two helpers. Besides, we can't let you embarrass yourself, right? Let's go!"

With Wu, the pilot, starting the spaceship and leaving the port, the team's spaceship quickly started the jump engine after reaching a safe distance and quickly disappeared in the sequence of the huge Tig warships.
