Chapter 107: Electric Shock Controller

It really was technology; Liu Mu felt numb.

This so-called "martial arts-abolishing" secret technique was clearly just installing a tiny electronic component into the spine behind the neck.

Watching one fierce bandit after another try to resist, only to have their brains shocked and collapse to the ground foaming at the mouth—this level of... it wasn't surprising at all.

Liu Mu kept a wooden expression; why wasn't she surprised? Because in the post-apocalyptic Barrier, this method was a standard means of controlling criminals.

Some darker private fortresses would directly inject this into everyone and then enslave them.

Zhang Jiabao seemed to notice Liu Mu's impatience, but he was actually quite surprised.

"Boss Liu, have you seen an Electric Shock Controller before? No way, this wasn't even common in the past."

Liu Mu shook her head, "I haven't seen one, it's just... I thought it was ancient martial arts, I didn't expect it to be... technology."

"I see, hahaha, I was the one exaggerating," Zhang Jiabao felt that saying this might be a bit humorous at the time, and he really hadn't expected Liu Mu to actually believe it.

However, Luo Sanlin found it less difficult to accept, "If they behave well, can this thing be removed?"

Regarding this point, Liu Mu feigned a bit of curiosity and looked at Zhang Jiabao as well.

"Of course, but it requires specialized equipment and unlocking based on each person's unique code; they cannot remove it themselves."

Seeing that the two were interested in listening, Zhang Jiabao took the opportunity to explain the principle of the Electric Shock Controller: it contained a Biological Chip that could detect changes in the implanted person's vital signs to trigger an electric shock, such as blood flow speed, body temperature, range of movement, and so on.

Liu Mu was uninterested; she found Liu Fugui to be in charge of the follow-up matters, while she and Luo Sanlin went to the barracks where the soldiers were stationed.

The special operations team had many wounded, so they were also staying here.

Seeing Liu Mu approach, Tan Ziyan immediately pulled her aside and said to Luo Sanlin, who wanted to follow, "Brother, we need to discuss something; why don't you go rest first?"

Luo Sanlin also knew Tan Ziyan, so naturally, he wouldn't intentionally stay.

With only the two of them left, Tan Ziyan asked directly, "Little sister, tell your big brother the truth: what stage of Mutation are you at now?"

Liu Mu pulled down her Raincoat hood, revealing a confused face, "Mutation has stages? Isn't it fixed to only one type of ability from the start? For example, Niu Bo has great strength, I have fast speed, and the big guy Yang Mang is tough."

"Is that so?" Tan Ziyan knew a bit about micro-expression analysis; he stared at Liu Mu for a while and found the girl with the crew cut looked completely sincere, "So the Mutation ability is fixed from the start, but I see you are stronger than before."

"That's not because I'm hardworking and diligent, following Li Gang to learn your ancient martial arts and some techniques?" Liu Mu didn't feel guilty at all, especially since what she said was indeed the truth, "Big brother, do you have any hidden secret techniques? Why don't you teach me some more?"

Tan Ziyan, who was still thinking about the staged Mutation that Xing Tianyang mentioned, was interrupted and said offhandedly, "Li Gang's unit is a bit more advanced than ours, just a bit. The combat techniques they learn should be the most comprehensive, but since I'm here for a few days, it wouldn't hurt to discuss them."

Liu Mu thanked him immediately, as if she were a simple student thirsty for knowledge.

"I'm taking the leader of the Sky Viper," Tan Ziyan rubbed his fingers; it had been so long since the disaster, yet he hadn't managed to quit his smoking habit, especially when he encountered annoying things, he wanted one even more.

"Sure, those two are perfect to take to Xing Tianyang for research," Liu Mu imagined Xing Tianyang with a Scalpel in one hand and a small chainsaw in the other, and she laughed like a pervert herself, "Doctor Xing will have to thank you properly this time, hahaha, want a smoke?"

The topic changed too quickly; Tan Ziyan was still stunned when a cigarette was shoved into his hand, and the lighter flame was right in front of him.

"Little sister, you actually have this good stuff?"

After taking a puff, Tan Ziyan felt his soul had sublimated, and he didn't forget to say hypocritically, "Actually, I don't really smoke much, especially since your sister-in-law doesn't like it; I've been trying to quit for many years."

"It's just hard to quit, sigh," Liu Mu sighed for him and lit one for herself; she didn't really smoke, but it was just to set the mood, "By the way, I still have some pre-Qingming Longjing tea, help me bring it to sister-in-law."

The habit of drinking tea was formed when he started trying to quit smoking; Tan Ziyan felt helpless, he had grown to like drinking tea, but he hadn't managed to quit smoking.

"Sigh, I'm out on missions for so long, I don't know when I'll be able to see her again."

Liu Mu glanced sideways and pointed her cigarette-holding finger at the iron door where the lizard people were held, "Isn't this an opportunity?"

"Hahaha," Tan Ziyan's sorrowful eyes lit up, and he patted Liu Mu's shoulder with his fan-like palm, "It has to be you, little sister! Fine! If you have nothing else here, your big brother will go back tomorrow to turn in the mission."

Liu Mu certainly had more to do, "Please also take this to Xing Tianyang for me; it's a blood sample of those three mutated young men I found in the mountains. Maybe it will allow him to research some clues; I don't know how many people are like us now."

"Very few," when it came to this, Tan Ziyan couldn't stay calm, "By all rights, we should have been the ones to mutate first; you and Niu Bo are one thing, but how did those kids mutate too?"

This didn't mean they should mutate first just because they were strong; Liu Mu knew that Tan Ziyan meant their special operations team was the first to look for the Giant Sun Fragments and the first to come into contact with them, but their protection was good, so they didn't come into direct contact with the Red Mist.

Last time at the seaside canyon, it was so dangerous, but Tan Ziyan was only seriously injured and recuperated for a while; after observing until the end, there were no signs of Mutation.

Liu Mu humbly said that Mutation wasn't a good thing, and this situation might spread quickly, especially after the appearance of the lizard people this time.

That day, Tan Ziyan's people interrogated the Black Lizard and the Black Glutton, and it was then that they learned the secret of these two people.

How to put it, although the Black Lizard had obvious physical Mutations, the Black Glutton could establish some kind of connection with the Black Lizard through that Explosion-proof Box, helping him stabilize his Mutation, strengthening his analytical ability, and enhancing some of his strength.

In short, once the two established a connection, their brainwaves were almost identical, and Miao Cuihua could even directly control the Black Lizard's body.

Even if the Black Lizard lost consciousness, he could continue to fight or escape with her help.

Liu Mu had examined Miao Cuihua at close range; the analysis result given by Heitao A was that Miao Cuihua's brain had also mutated in part, but the ability was not powerful enough and could only serve as an auxiliary.

At the same time, it was confirmed that their abilities were the same as the Awakening abilities of post-apocalyptic humans, and there was no possibility of upgrading.

With this information, Liu Mu didn't want these two people to stay any longer. As for the information about the Sky Viper, she still had Miao Hentian in her hands.
