Chapter 5: Creating New Items
“Okay, Captain Ma,” Chen Sisi replied, then transmitted the video from her computer to the office’s large screen. The video showed a wolf-like humanoid creature conjuring a long spear from its left hand and throwing it, which pierced through a van.
The spear looked incredibly sharp, gleaming with a cold light, while the van that had been pierced seemed as if it were made of paper, instantly pierced through, its body deforming and twisting in the process.
The entire scene was shocking and terrifying, causing everyone to gasp in horror.
After watching it, Director Zheng's expression changed repeatedly. After a long while, he said, "Are you sure this isn't some movie clip?"
Director Zheng and Team Leader Ma both turned their attention to Chen Sisi. Chen Sisi quickly said, "This is definitely the video I extracted from the on-site surveillance today. I analyzed it myself after bringing it back. It didn't go through anyone else's hands."
Team leader Ma explained to Director Zheng, "Director Zheng, although I also think this video is a bit outrageous, I trust my team member. She is a professional in this area and wouldn't make such a basic mistake."
He had full confidence in Chen Sisi's abilities and character, and believed that she would not provide false or misleading information.
After listening, Director Zheng gently patted Ma's shoulder and said firmly, "Little Ma, you can rest assured. Of course I trust our comrades."
However, if this did indeed happen, then the situation could be quite complicated.
After all, we have no idea what kind of creature this is, let alone whether it is the only one. It is clear from this video that it has considerable destructive power, and we have no way of knowing whether it will attack again, or when and where it will attack other innocent citizens.
These unknown factors have put us in a passive position, almost tantamount to exposing nearly ten million citizens of Harbin to potential danger.
After Director Zheng finished speaking, he lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying, "I will set up a special task force for this matter, and you, Ma Mingzhe, will be the head of the task force. You can choose the personnel and equipment as you like, and I will give you the approval. But I have one requirement: you must resolve this matter quickly without causing any major impact. Any questions?"
Director Zheng looked at Ma Mingzhe with a serious expression, waiting for his answer.
Ma Mingzhe took a deep breath, a determined glint in his eyes. He knew this was a difficult task.
"No problem, Director Zheng, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!" Ma Mingzhe replied solemnly. He knew this operation required speed and decisiveness, leaving no room for hesitation.
Director Zheng nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face, and said softly, "Not bad, it seems you already have your own plan."
"Now, go and gather your team. Remember, time is of the essence; we must act quickly."
Ma Mingzhe nodded vigorously, his eyes firm and resolute. He turned and left the office, walking steadily toward the door, followed closely by Chen Sisi and Zhao Kai.
After the three of them left, only Director Zheng remained standing quietly in the office.
His gaze remained fixed on the wolf-like humanoid creature in the video. After pondering for a moment, he picked up the red phone on the table and dialed it.
……
At the same time, Zhao Hong, who was in the editing space, also stopped what he was doing. His deep eyes narrowed slightly, as if they could penetrate the endless void.
A faint smile appeared on his lips as he murmured to himself, "It's time. The show is about to begin..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a crisp sound rang out. This sound did not come from the outside world, but echoed directly in the depths of Zhao Hong's mind.
"The detection of the Orphino gene has alerted the Ming Dynasty's top leadership, greatly impacting world events and affecting energy points."
The system's cold notification sound echoed in Zhao Hong's ears. Zhao Hong said, "System, open the panel."
Editor: Zhao Hong
Editing level: 3 (1000/5000)
Editable number: 2
Edited gene: Orphinox factor
(Current number of awakened Orphnochs: 25)
Remaining energy points:
Zhao Hong looked at the energy points displayed on the screen and felt very satisfied.
He couldn't help but feel secretly glad that his previous efforts hadn't been in vain. Now, he felt the time was ripe to begin implementing his next plan.
Zhao Hong walked briskly towards a laboratory. As soon as he entered, his eyes were immediately drawn to a nutrient tank.
Inside this nutrient chamber is a special belt. Its appearance is a deep brown color, as if it contains a special power. There is also a noticeable protruding part on the belt, which looks like a button that can be pressed.
Zhao Hong took it out, placed it in his hand, and said to the system, "System, inject energy points to activate."
As he finished speaking, the system in his mind emitted a crisp notification sound: "Ding." Immediately afterwards, a cold, synthesized electronic voice rang out: "Host, do you confirm injecting energy points to activate the [Leo Cavalry Belt]? Activation requires 5000 energy points."
Zhao Hong answered without hesitation: "Activation confirmed."
"Ding!" The system issued another notification sound, indicating that the [Leo Cavalry Belt] had been successfully activated and could be used.
At the same time, the system's voice continued to play: Current remaining energy points: "7900".
This is another weapon that Zhao Hong extracted from Zhang Hao's memories—the [Leo Cavalry]!
Unlike ordinary weapons, it can summon armor through a belt, allowing the user to transform into an armored warrior for combat.
Zhao Hong chose to extract this type of belt, rather than several other obviously stronger belts, because he considered mass production and applicability.
Compared to the other armor pieces, the [Leo Cavalry] is easier to mass-produce and can better meet his future planning needs.
Of course, even with mass-produced armor, Zhao Hong also reinforced it to a certain extent to avoid embarrassing situations in actual combat. After all, no one wants to see their equipment fail at a critical moment!
For example, the summoning restrictions have been removed. Now, as long as one's physical fitness is up to par, ordinary people can also use it, although the transformation time will be determined by physical strength.
Weapons have also been enhanced and improved to some extent. For melee combat, a sharp, sturdy, and durable alloy short sword can be used;
In mid- to long-range combat, special firearms equipped with various types of ammunition can be used for effective strikes.
After a period of effort, Zhao Hong finally succeeded in compiling detailed data and a list of production materials for the [Leo Cavalry], and arranged them into a complete document.
He then transmitted the compiled data to a pre-prepared other end via a mysterious device in the laboratory.
