Chapter 117: Forbidden Soul Demon House! Puppet
Although she had turned her head, she caught a glimpse from the corner of her eye of the man's slightly parted lips and the unsettling smile that seemed to emerge like a devil from hell in the candlelight.
Alex stroked his chin, scrutinizing An Tianwei. This woman, wrapped in a tight black leather outfit, had an extremely graceful figure. The reflective smoothness of the black leather added to her allure, along with the silky ponytail, charming appearance, and the traces of resentment in her peach blossom eyes, all giving Alex a fanatical feeling.
"I wonder if there's anything special about this kind of mutated person..."
Alex licked his lips, picked up a pair of scissors, lifted An Tianwei, and walked into one of the cells.
Inside, there not only was a torture bed and various implements, but also a gruesome Iron Maiden!
Watching Alex bring An Tianwei into the cell, Maribel and her daughter couldn't help but swallow hard, trembling with fear. Mother and daughter had once experienced such treatment. For them, it was the most perverted, terrifying, and cruel place they had ever seen in their lives.
No woman could come out of there and still maintain her dignity and resilience. Once you entered, you would become a slave to the devil who was evil and cruel to the extreme! Once you came out, you would unquestionably obey the devil's commands!
The two were certain! This strong woman would surely go insane!
Indeed, that was the case.
When Alex emerged from the innermost cell with An Tianwei, she was trembling all over, her eyes lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.
Alex looked at the exhausted and disheveled An Tianwei with satisfaction.
Loyalty had dropped to 0%.
Mutated people were indeed different; they had a unique flavor.
Although Alex had enjoyed himself, the achieved effect was not entirely satisfactory. An Tianwei seemed to have undergone special training and possessed an incredibly strong will. Alex speculated that An Tianwei's mental attribute was definitely above 90.
-official
Even the torn Iron Maiden could only make her mentally collapse but couldn't break her beliefs.
Moreover, An Tianwei's loyalty remained at 60%, showing no fluctuation.
Alex turned his head and looked at the completely transformed blood-soaked Su Qinggu. He took him off the iron hook and then took out a bottle of red potion originally hidden in Su Qinggu's chest, asking, "Tell me, what is this?"
"This is a virus crystal... uh... uh... it's a virus essence extracted from the body of a mutated zombie. As long as we mutants drink this crystal, we can rapidly recover... uh...
hehe... there are also berserk crystals, mental potions, strengthening potions... these are all drugs developed by Professor Yang..."
Su Qinggu answered frantically while gasping for breath.
Alex noticed that after the torment, Su Qinggu's loyalty had reached 80%. Unlike An Tianwei, although this guy had also undergone training, his psychological defenses were not strong, and his mental attributes were extremely low.
"How many people are there in your shelter? How many are mutated?" Alex continued to ask.
"I don't know the exact number of people in our shelter... We also have an underground base, and Professor Yang and his group are in the underground base... With my authorization, I can't go underground... cough... However, based on what I know, including the three of us, there are probably over twenty mutants and about thirty ordinary people..." Su Qinggu said without any concealment.
"What is the Red Skull organization? And what is the purpose of your Red Skull organization?" Alex continued to inquire. He was actually very interested in the Red Skull organization. These people seemed to have an extraordinary understanding of the zombie virus and the apocalypse.
In the midst of the apocalypse, Alex also wanted to understand what exactly was happening. The more he knew about the apocalypse, the more he could control.
Even though he had the powerful City of Darkness, Alex didn't mind acquiring some cutting-edge technology to enhance his team. Currently, he hadn't encountered a regular military organization. If he were to face a large, well-organized military force, Alex knew he wouldn't be their match.
"I'm just a higher-ranked warrior within the Red Skull organization, and I don't know the core of the Red Skull organization. But I know that before the apocalypse, the Red Skull organization was researching biological potions. Both An Tianwei and I were forcibly enhanced mutants created with these biological potions," Su Qinggu explained hesitantly.
"As for the purpose of the Red Skull organization... I can only speculate. The higher-ups among us have always been pursuing evolution into a higher form of life."
"Evolution into a higher form of life?" Alex curiously glanced at Su Qinggu. Weren't the mutants around him all slowly evolving?
Especially for Coco, the rate of evolution was increasing rapidly, and a tail of thirty centimeters had already grown behind her. Additionally, small fleshy wings had sprouted on Coco's back.
An important point to note was that mutants could be forcibly enhanced!
"Mutants can be forcibly enhanced with biological potions?" Alex squinted slightly; this was indeed good news for him.
"Yes, only those who can withstand the tide of evolution have the potential to be enhanced into mutants. We are the first batch of enhancers, with a success rate of about 8%," Su Qinggu explained.
"So low?" Alex frowned slightly. However, an 8% success rate was still enough to establish his own legion of mutants!
Alex inquired about the specific situation within the Red Skull organization's estate, gaining a general understanding of their defenses, personnel composition, and capabilities.
After extracting no useful information from Su Qinggu and Yan Gaoyang, Alex threw them into the torture chamber. After handing them over to the veterinarian responsible for castration and two doctors, Alex, carrying An Tianwei, headed to the slave hut.
"System, upgrade the slave hut to a Forbidden Soul Demon House!"
[Forbidden Soul Demon House: Occupies 100 square meters, a place of confinement for the slaves of the City of Darkness Lord. Each person has an individual 2-square-meter cell, completely isolated during rest. Slaves imprisoned in the Forbidden Soul Demon House will completely lose self-awareness, becoming loyal puppets of the City Lord. Requires the prerequisite building, Slave Hut.
Price: 500 Doomsday Coins.]
Since torture couldn't break An Tianwei's psychological defenses in a short time, the alternative was to turn her into a puppet.
[Forbidden Soul Demon House selected, conditions met...]
[Consuming 500 Doomsday Coins...]
[Upgrading in progress...]
As the electronic synthesized sound echoed, the Slave Hut collapsed with a roar. After a space distortion, a brand-new ancient house appeared before Alex. Resembling a haunted house from a movie, the entire Forbidden Soul Demon House emitted a eerie and mysterious atmosphere.
Inside the demonic house, ghostly mist lingered, and terrifying ghost faces struggled to escape from the mist, only to be pulled back into the house, producing a series of mournful wails.
Alex walked into the "Forbidden Soul Demon House" and threw An Tianwei into one of the cells.
[Slave successfully placed, eliminating self-awareness...]
[Time required: 4 hours...]
Alex nodded in satisfaction. He checked the Doomsday Coins again.
[Doomsday Coins: 1580]
After two expenditures, there were still over a thousand Doomsday Coins. Alex calculated that he could reach 2000 Doomsday Coins again in about half a day.
Thinking of the Thunderstorm King's corpse in the Hall of the Undead, Alex retrieved the Thunderstorm King's body.
He found an available grave and tossed the body inside.
[Body is being buried...]
[Time required: 4 hours...]
"Mutants can actually be buried!" Alex was somewhat surprised. Inspired by Su Qinggu's words earlier, Alex suddenly wondered if mutants were of the same type as zombies and could also be buried.
Unexpectedly, his speculation turned out to be true. Mutants could indeed be buried. Moreover, judging by the burial time, the Thunderstorm King's corpse seemed quite powerful!
Now, all that remained was to wait.
Alex called Little Wolfman Pippi over and then opened the screen of the Four-Eyed Crow. Pointing to the mansion in the mountains on the screen, he said, "Pippi, I'm assigning you a task. Use your wolf howl to gradually lure the zombies in the city towards this mansion."
Alex then gave orders to the other mutated individuals, "Koko, Nana, Lulu, the three of you assist Pippi and protect him. If you encounter any danger, seek my help promptly."
"In addition, I'll have the Four-Eyed Crow assist you. Qianqian is in charge of overall coordination, trying to divert as many mutated zombies as possible towards that mansion!"
After arranging everything, all that was left was to wait. It was currently noon, and everything should be ready in half a day. After the preparations, it would be about the right time for nightfall.
