Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Capturing Large Mutated Creatures
With the C20 chip controllers in hand, Ye Yun certainly wasn’t going to let them sit idle.
He now had a total of six C20 chip controllers. According to Lin Hao, a single C20 chip controller could control three to six large mutant creatures.
This meant that as long as they had enough C20 chips, their current shelter could easily control thirty large mutant creatures.
To convert their resources into combat power as quickly as possible,
Bena and his team rested for a day before immediately setting out to capture more large mutant creatures.
Bena led the team, beginning the intense capture mission based on the information Lin Hao had provided about mutant creature locations.
While Lin Hao was quite familiar with how to use the chip controllers, he had very limited practical experience capturing mutant creatures. Therefore, his main role was to provide intelligence support and operate the controllers.
As a Mutant Hunter, Neil had a profound understanding of the habits and characteristics of mutant creatures.
Using the data Lin Hao provided, he quickly identified their targets and formulated a capture plan.
The other team members—including Zhou Mei, Lanton, Zhou Yiming, Hawke, and several bionoids—all began the systematic capture operation according to Neil’s plan.
Ye Yun activated his wristband and entered the details of the mission.
[Assessment Type: Capture Mission]
[Assessing Mission Risk...]
[Assessment: White Item Probability: 24%. Green Item Probability: 53.5%. Blue Item Probability: 21.495%. Purple Item Probability: 1.005%. Risk Factor: 0.24%.]
Seeing the risk factor was less than even one percent, Ye Yun nodded in satisfaction. Since there was no danger, he immediately gave the team the go-ahead.
In a desolate, barren region, Bena and his team discovered a sounder of mutant boars foraging for food.
These boars were enormous, with skin as tough as iron and razor-sharp tusks. They were a rare and powerful addition to their potential combat force.
Most of the boars in the sounder were common mutants; their only target was the leader, a beast over a meter tall and three meters long.
After a moment of observation, Neil designated the mutant boar as their first large mutant creature to capture.
"We’ll just capture the leader."
Bena voiced a question:
"What about the others? Do we kill them or drive them off?"
Neil:
"Let’s kill them. It’s better to play it safe since this is our first time."
Just then, Lin Hao, who was standing nearby, suddenly interjected with a suggestion:
"Actually, we don’t have to kill them all."
Everyone turned to look at him.
Lin Hao quickly explained his reasoning:
"We have two models of control chips and controllers. We can install the D14 chips on these smaller mutant boars and the C20 on the big one. If we let them maintain their herd structure, it will greatly simplify the execution of our commands."
"Plus, letting them remain as a herd will also allow them to unleash greater combat power."
Lin Hao’s suggestion took Bena and the other team members by surprise, but upon reflection, his proposal certainly had merit.
"That’s a good idea," Bena said, nodding in agreement. "Keeping their herd structure could indeed improve their combat effectiveness."
Neil also agreed with the plan:
"Let’s go with Lin Hao’s suggestion, then. We’ll capture the big leader first, and then install the D14 chips on the others."
Lin Hao inwardly breathed a sigh of relief when his suggestion was accepted. ’I have to prove my worth to solidify my place on this team,’ he thought.
"Alright, that’s the plan."
Bena commanded, "Neil, you and I will handle capturing the leader. Everyone else, spread out and get ready to install the D14 chips."
With the plan of action confirmed, the group sprang into motion.
Bena and Neil crept stealthily toward the sounder of boars.
They used the terrain and vegetation for cover, closing in on their prey without a sound.
The mutant boar herd was focused on foraging, completely unaware of the impending danger.
Bena and Neil exchanged a look, a silent, mutual understanding passing between them, before suddenly launching their attack.
Bena was the first to charge. The thrusters on his power armor let out a low RUMBLE as he shot forward like a cannonball, heading straight for the mutant boar leader.
The boar leader sensed the threat. It raised its head and let out a deafening ROAR, attempting to meet the charge with its massive body and sharp tusks.
But Bena was faster. He agilely sidestepped the boar’s charge, then used the strength of his power armor to grab the leader’s tusks and slam the beast to the ground.
Meanwhile, Neil sprang into action.
Clad in his exoskeleton, his movements were agile and precise. He quickly circled behind the boar leader, using a specialized restraint device to lock its hind legs and prevent it from kicking out with any force.
Caught in their pincer attack, the boar leader struggled desperately, but it was ultimately unable to escape its fate of being subdued.
Neil quickly installed the C20 chip onto the boar’s head.
While Bena and Neil were engaged with the leader, the other team members, following Neil’s guidance, began capturing the rest of the boars.
They split into smaller groups, with each group responsible for a single boar.
These common mutant boars weren’t particularly strong individually.
Using their tools and equipment, the team members quickly and skillfully installed the D14 chips on the boars.
