Chapter 151: Monster's Lair

Bang bang bang.

The bullet, carrying huge kinetic energy, precisely shot into Dadao Keji's body.

It left a smoking hole on his black and red coat.

Unlike a normal bullet hitting a human body, his body pierced by the bullet showed no blood traces; instead, the muscles on his body faintly wriggled.

Dadao Keji lowered his head, glanced at the bullet hole on his body, and praised: "Not bad marksmanship, three shots right in the heart."

As he finished speaking, he lunged forward instantly; his transformed body could ignore any fatal injury.

The heart was merely a decoration; the cell-maintaining enzyme was his life.

At that moment, Dadao Keji's left hand directly tore off the safety belt binding the metal box, excitedly opened the box, and obtained the Eternal Memory he had long dreamed of.

However, the moment Dadao Keji took out the Eternal Memory, his gaze seemed to be drawn.

That was an unfamiliar pure black Memory; he took both the Eternal and the Black Memories at once.

The researcher, collapsed on the ground, barely supporting himself, even leaving marks on the seat, seemed to have seen something astonishing.

He raised his hand, pointing at Dadao Keji wearing white armor, and shouted: "Kamen Rider!"

Boom! The explosion's fireball directly shattered the helicopter; 25 Memories, propelled by the blast, scattered across Fengdu City.

Dadao Keji slowly descended, looking at the black Memory in his hand, feeling utterly confused; he seemed especially fond of this one.

He instinctively glanced at the approaching teammates, instantly hid that black Memory, then walked toward his companions as if nothing had happened.

"The Fate's Gaia Memory will actively attract suitable people; you go find it yourselves, so that this city becomes a hell on earth."

Dadao Keji laughed loudly, looking at his companions' hometown road.

After watching his companions leave, Dadao Keji arrived at his own base.

Taking out the Memory he had just obtained, he pressed it down directly, with no intention of waiting.

"Devil"

The moment Dadao Keji pressed it down, a black, icy, slick sensation instantly spread throughout his body; this Memory hovered in midair.

The interface of the black square Gaia Memory instantly grew from Dadao Keji's arm, and the Memory slammed hard into his body.

The powerful impact directly flung him, slamming hard into the base's wall, leaving a pit in the wall.

Dadao Keji even spat out a mouthful of fresh blood; know that he is famed as the immortal soldier NEVER, and a bullet hitting him head-on would only leave a big hole in his body.

He even thought his body no longer had blood at all.

But even so, that Memory was still absorbed by his body,

He instantly felt that the Memory had changed his body.

His body, originally devoid of vitality and even resembling a corpse, now made him feel his blood surging.

Immediately after, a familiar sound emanated from within Dadao Keji's body, like a thunderous drum—it was his heartbeat.

His heartbeat, which had stopped since he was sixteen, now started beating again.

"Hahaha."

Dadao Keji raised his arms, ecstatically feeling the vitality of this body, the power of life reigniting within him.

Accompanying this was immense pain, as if his body were about to be torn apart.

Although this pain was enough to make one faint, Dadao Keji endured it head-on and even savored the sensation.

Pain is also indispensable to him.

"Can a Memory that turns people into monsters?" Dadao Keji enjoyed the pain.

Under the continual release of the Memory's power, he finally understood its function; he had indeed come back to life, but was no longer human.

"It seems Fengdu won't become a hell on earth, but rather a monster's nest."

Dadao Keji widened his eyes, speaking with fervor.

With a swish, the Devil Memory ejected from within his body; Dadao Keji directly inserted the Memory into the Light Weapon stored inside the base.

The program pre-embedded in the Memory began automatically altering the Light Weapon's internal original program, and started connecting with the underground base on New Island.

……

Jiang Xia's gaze grew deep, his expression becoming complex.

"Is that all?" He looked down; at this moment, the place where he stood was fully visible, Jiang Xia standing on a sheet of transparent glass.

Beneath the glass lay a huge void, filled with darkness to the utmost depth.

In the darkness, crimson gems kept flashing, but upon closer look, the center of each ruby-red gem was a streak of black that marred this perfect beauty.

Suddenly the surroundings brightened, revealing what had been hidden in the void below: something that would make any ordinary person faint at a glance.

Those were not gems, but a pair of bloody red eyes; their eyelids opened, and their entire exoskeleton gave a cold, slick feeling.

Their overall shape was humanoid, but their appearance resembled insects, their ferocious look also exhaling thick white smoke, as if they had just finished being manufactured.

Long, thin spikes, a dark carapace, a locust-like appearance, a waist inlaid with a belt of glowing red gems, and a long tail extending from behind—it was truly a killing machine.

Such strange creatures numbered in the tens of thousands within the void below.

They all shared a common prototype: the metallic lifeform Delasi.

"You're back to check on how your monster army is developing?"

Ying tilted her head, looking at Jiang Xia standing above the large culture tank, and said:

Jiang Xia calmed himself a bit and said: "It's completed quite well; if released, it could probably destroy all of Fengdu."

"Of course, this is my masterpiece; their combat power is far inferior to the complete version of Delasi."

"But conquering a city is more than enough." Ying walked up to Jiang Xia and said:

"It's just that your time limit is too tight; I can only barely reduce their combat power greatly, then exchange it for increased numbers."

"Since you entered the Earth Library, I've been mobilizing the base's resources to produce this."

"Without the Gene Memory and the existing template, making these would take at least several months."

Ying complained to Jiang Xia: "You've made me work continuously for a long time."

"Why do you need so many weirdos? Even if they all attack together, they can't beat you; it's just that there are many of them."

"I just know some things, that's all; I also don't know how long it will be before I use them."

Jiang Xia shifted the conversation and asked: "Will they react to our power?"

"Yes, they are actually machines; they only act according to the targets we input."

"So anyone who possesses our organization's power will not be locked onto as an attack target." Ying explained.

"But there are too many of them; even a supercomputer can only do this much."

"They are best suited for that kind of battlefield where, aside from themselves, the outside world is all enemies."

"Go rest now; you've worked hard this period. Next time I'll take you somewhere else."

Jiang Xia looked at Ying, who was still a super beautiful girl, but her eyes revealed a hint of fatigue.

"Then I'm off." Ying yawned wearily.
