Chapter 733 Sample No. 2

The iron gate was opened by two guards. At their signal, Qi Lin walked forward along a dark and narrow corridor.

As for the large box of weapons, he randomly selected a sharp dagger more than 20 centimeters long. The handle of the dagger was wrapped with an insulating material similar to bakelite - although Qi Lin still has It's unclear what abilities the new type of cybernetic who killed Gamma-level Barsaka possessed, and the executive officer didn't mention any information about this in the conversation, but he used the iceberg female assistant to send a small The note was sandwiched between the pass and ticket and passed to Qi Lin.

There is only one word on the note - "electricity".

"It should be a special ability such as electric shock..." Qi Lin looked at the dark handle of the knife in his hand. Even the blade was wrapped with insulating material. This was obviously consistent with the information revealed to him by the executive officer.

But, is it really useful?

The so-called insulating material is just that the resistance is greater than ordinary things. No matter what, its blocking ability will have an upper limit... just like a person wearing rubber gloves and touching a high-voltage wire will still get an electric shock.

In a fierce battle, once the handle of the knife becomes wet with sweat or blood, its insulation ability will become worse.

But even so, the organization will not provide Qi Lin with weapons such as firearms.

Not to mention that firearms can turn an originally bloody and fierce gladiatorial fight into a kite fight. The biggest reason is the issue of lethality.

In the hands of ordinary people, the lethality of firearms is much greater than that of cold weapons, but this is not necessarily the case in the hands of evolved people.

Excluding factors such as the structure of the warhead, its direct lethality mainly comes from the kinetic energy attached to the warhead, and this kinetic energy comes from the firing pin striking the primer. When the primer detonates, it ignites the internal charge of the bullet, thereby generating high-pressure gas, and then this The high-pressure gas then pushes the bullet out of the barrel.

But regardless of the structure of the warhead or the power of the gunpowder, the moment the trigger is pulled and the bullet comes out of the chamber, the lethality of the gun has been fixed. The only things that can affect it are distance, wind, temperature, external factors such as air pressure.

Two rifles of the same model, using the same ammunition, after excluding problems such as marksmanship and psychological quality, there is basically not much difference between them between an ordinary person and a fifth-level evolved person - the vast majority of evolved people do. It can better apply various modern weapons in actual combat, but it does not have the ability to allow firearms to break through the limits of their own lethality.

Only a small number of evolvers can affect the lethality of firearms, such as adding poison to bullets, interfering with the detonation performance of gunpowder, using electromagnetic repulsion to increase the speed of warheads, etc. However, the number of such evolvers is too rare. And their abilities also have obvious effects when used in other aspects.

Firearms can only be regarded as auxiliary, and the Evolvers themselves are their most powerful weapons.

As long as the strength of this short knife is enough, Qi Lin only needs to increase the speed of the energy-gathering vortex to about 2200 rpm. The lethality of a full-strength stab is already comparable to a 5.56 shot fired from an AR15 assault rifle at a distance of 200 meters. mm caliber NATO bullets, both of which can easily penetrate concrete walls more than fifteen centimeters thick.

And when it reaches more than 3500 revolutions, the power of the stab is comparable to that of an anti-material weapon. Of course... the premise is that the blade does not break...

The length of the corridor was not short. Qi Lin walked for more than a minute before reaching the exit and entering the arena.

This is an oval-shaped venue about a hundred meters long. The ground is paved with a layer of light gray limestone. Under the light of the torch, it has a dungeon-like sense of sight.

Above the head is a dome hundreds of meters high. Countless huge metal gears mesh and rotate with each other to maintain this "special shelter" that runs purely on mechanical power. The surrounding auditorium is filled with people in black and white clothes. Spectators in black robes and hoods.

"The first battle will pit the challengers from the Thunder Falcon Team reserves against the 'Sample No. 2' who has never appeared before. There are still thirty seconds left before the battle begins!"

Qi Lin looked across and saw a tall figure standing at the other end of the field. He was wearing a suit of leather-tanned soft armor. He only had a small metal mail armor around his chest, shoulders and waist. He was carrying a An alloy buckler, and a serrated dagger in his right hand.

This look is exactly the impression that ancient Western gladiators left in people's minds.

This is not a battle test at all, it is clearly an ancient Roman-style gladiatorial battle. The biggest role of this battle is not to test the limits of the new type of modified man's combat power, but to please those guys sitting in the audience.

The countdown was completed by a huge mechanical stopwatch. When the two-meter-long brass pointer jumped to zero, a loud bell rang throughout the Colosseum.

"The battle begins!" Abel's voice was amplified several times by the loudspeaker. As soon as he said the word "Shi" at the beginning, Sample No. 2 instantly disappeared from where he originally stood, in a way that was difficult to catch with the naked eye. The speed rushed towards Qi Lin!

"It's an agile cyborg!" Qi Lin immediately made a judgment in his mind. To deal with this kind of opponent, choosing to dodge is an unwise decision. The speed of agile enemies can completely keep up with your dodge rhythm, and they can step Pressing forward step by step will force you into a passive situation where it is difficult to fight back. When the time comes, Qi Lin will have to pay a higher price if he wants to get out of this situation.

He chose to fight head-on!

The short knife and the serrated sword collided together, and a large amount of bright sparks erupted - these are top-notch cold weapons specially forged by the organization for this gladiatorial battle. If they were replaced with ordinary carbon steel weapons, this was the first time they collided. I'm afraid it has been broken, but these two weapons only had a gap.

Qi Lin only had a dagger in his hand, but the opponent also had a round shield. The moment the saw-tooth dagger was held, the round shield struck Qi Lin's side with a harsh whistling sound!

"Boom!!"

Qi Lin was not hit by the round shield. Instead, he flew up and kicked the center of the round shield. With the reaction force, he did a backflip to distance himself from Sample No. 2, and then instantly pushed the energy-gathering vortex away. The speed was increased to 2500 rpm, and he leaned forward, holding a short knife in both hands, and stabbed the lower ribs of sample No. 2 fiercely!

"Pfft——"

The sharp short knife penetrated into the body of Sample No. 2. Qi Lin pulled the blade down hard and immediately cut a huge wound from the ribs to the chest and abdomen of Sample No. 2. Hot blood immediately flowed out. shot out of it—

Qi Lin was sure that his knife had cut open the opponent's heart and severed several major arteries connected to the heart. However, Sample No. 2 did not fall down. Instead, he waved his round shield and knocked Qi Lin into his arms. Lin pushed him away, and used a serrated dagger to tear off a large piece of flesh and blood from Qi Lin's left arm!

"The new type of modified human heart is not critical. The function of the heart has been replaced by other artificial organs. Once these artificial organs are damaged, they can be replaced at any time. The cost of spare organs is extremely low." in the audience. , Abel's voice explaining to the MPs reached Qi Lin's ears.

"Isn't the heart the weak point? Then just attack the brain..."
