Wasteland Hideout: Upgrading from the Sewers

Hogg's pupils turned blood-red, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body.

Although the blood-colored mist was already very faint, it still swirled around him.

From time to time, a blood-red light flashed beneath his black fur.

His fur was thick and dense, perfectly fitting against his body's surface, forming an oily sheen that, at a glance, gleamed with a metallic luster.

The claws on his two front paws were about ten centimeters long, pitch-black and shiny, and when they clashed together, they made a crisp, scraping sound.

Yu Yuan looked at Hogg, whose body was now half larger than before, and finally understood why Miller had been so extremely satisfied with Hogg's evolved state.

Although Yu Yuan had already seen what Hogg looked like after the experiment on the surveillance video.

But what the surveillance showed and what he saw with his own eyes were two completely different things.

Miller had already revealed an excited expression.

For the next half hour, the entire shooting range was almost filled with the sound of gunfire.

But the results also filled Yu Yuan with immense surprise and satisfaction.

Heavy machine guns were ineffective, sniper rifles were ineffective, rifle grenades were ineffective, rockets were effective but only caused superficial wounds that didn't even require treatment, healing on their own in just a few seconds.

Subsequent experiments with various special effects were even more remarkable.

The fur on Hogg's body surface not only provided significant defensive power but also showed considerable resistance against special attacks like flames, electricity, and corrosion.

He was practically immune to both water and fire.

Hogg's defensive power drove everyone into a frenzy.

"This is basically a humanoid armored vehicle!" Carmen didn't even know what else to say.

Next came testing Hogg's attack strength.

The results proved that Hogg's evolution was comprehensive.

Currently, the metal with the highest defensive strength was the super memory alloy Yu Yuan had obtained last time. It not only possessed hardness and toughness far exceeding other alloys but also had the ability to self-repair and restore itself.

Therefore, its production cost was also extremely high. It was only because Yu Yuan had unexpectedly acquired the Mechanical Scrapyard Planet and, with the help of the [M-Type Source Core Mechanical Titan], could convert massive amounts of mechanical garbage into the most primitive metal energy. The unique printing effect could also directly use Source Core Energy to create items.

Currently, only Marsir's mechanical research base had produced one piece for preliminary experiments.

When Hogg used his claws to barely and laboriously pierce through this super memory alloy.

It said everything.

Hogg's claws could easily penetrate even the armor of the 'Mammoth' heavy assault vehicle.

Now, facing this super memory alloy, he could only barely penetrate it.

This was enough to show the true value of this alloy.

At the same time, it provided a much clearer understanding of Hogg's attack strength.

Subsequently, during research on attacking living creatures, another characteristic of Hogg was discovered—his attacks had a blood-draining effect.

When his claws killed an enemy, they also absorbed the enemy's blood, converting it into his own energy.

It wasn't just blood; the energy within their bodies could also be absorbed.

The dried-up corpses of spiritual creatures on the shooting range were the most obvious proof.

There was no doubt that the Bloodsucking Werewolf experiment had achieved tremendous success.

Even because of the Silver-glowing Blood, the experimental results far exceeded Yu Yuan's expectations. Not only did it elevate Hogg to the Silver-tier, but his combat ability directly reached the top-tier level of the entire civilization.

He had become Yu Yuan's number-one enforcer.

Hogg transformed back into human form, but there were still four fangs in his mouth, resembling those of a vampire.

"Master, I now have a similar ability to create Blood Slaves like vampires, but it's quite different. It's more like a combination of the werewolf's 'Biting Curse' and 'Blood Slave Conversion'."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Yu Yuan became interested.

"Our original method of creating a Bloodsucking Werewolf legion was through Genetic Modification Serums. But now, I can directly convert someone into a Bloodsucking Werewolf by biting them, absorbing their blood, and then converting them. This is very similar to how Mixed-Blood Werewolves and Blood Slaves appear."

"I think this could be a direction for our modifications."

Yu Yuan frowned slightly.

"If you convert others into Bloodsucking Werewolves, does it affect your own strength? Or is there some kind of limitation? What is the difference between a Bloodsucking Werewolf converted this way and one converted through a Genetic Modification Serum?"

Hogg pondered for a moment.

"I'm not sure about that yet. This information also suddenly appeared in my mind when I first transformed into a Bloodsucking Werewolf. But my instincts tell me this conversion pathway is very important."

"Is that so?" Yu Yuan looked at Miller.

"Study the differences between the two methods with Hogg as soon as possible."

"Okay, I understand!" Miller also showed a look of great interest.

"Also, now that Hogg has successfully become a Bloodsucking Werewolf, we need to move quickly on the next experiment to fuse elemental energy. Whether it's flames, lightning, or any other energy, I have a feeling our peaceful days won't last long."

Miller, Hogg, and everyone else around were all stunned for a moment.

"Master, we've been conducting experiments on elemental energy all along. The research on that Flame Wolf hasn't stopped either."

"The fusion of elemental energy genes has now entered the third stage, the gene chimerism phase, and we've already made some progress. I'll get this work done as soon as possible," Miller said immediately.

It was two days later when the construction of the military base in the Potion Civilization world and the cleanup of the spoils were completed.

"Leader, this time in the Potion Civilization world, we captured a total of 1,300 prisoners. They will be sent to the Hunter Training Camp in batches for training..."

Carmen was reporting to Yu Yuan.

"However, among these prisoners, we discovered a special humanoid race, like the legendary elf race, but they call themselves the Lumbu Tribe. They were Unicorn Rhino's slaves, usually only responsible for mass-producing potions."

"Slaves? What about the other two cities?"

Yu Yuan asked.

"The Alpha has already taken the other two cities with his team. The casualties were minimal. Those two cities were Unicorn Rhino's resource cities. One city controls a crystal energy mine, which contains a small vein of high-energy crystals that can yield Rare-tier and above energy crystals, with a chance of producing Epic-tier energy crystals.

"The other city controls a port. Through interrogation, we learned that across the ocean, there is another continent with many rare herbs and resources. These resources are all important materials for refining potions.

"The main function of this port was to carry exploration parties back and forth to that continent, bringing back those rare resources."

"Therefore, Unicorn Rhino placed great importance on these two cities and stationed most of his forces there. That's the main reason why Lakeside City had fewer than a thousand people during the battle."

Yu Yuan looked at the interrogation report in his hand and laughed.

"Who told him to be so greedy? Have those energy crystals and spoils been brought back?"

"They've all been brought back, including the lakeside secret room you specifically mentioned before..."
