Chapter 138: Is Tetanus Really That Powerful?

Seeing the dismembering goblins continuously pouring out of the portal, Ye Hai could not help feeling slightly surprised.

"System, didn't you upgrade and reinforce the Forest Cabin module?"

"Why do these dismembering goblins look like they are only at the fourth and fifth stages of strength?"

The system replied irritably:

"They're just a bunch of goblins, what else did you expect them to be reinforced to!"

"According to the original setting, these shorties max out at the second stage!"

"Now they have been upgraded to the fourth stage, and some have reached the fifth stage..."

"Can you really ask for more?"

"Besides, I've reinforced these little guys in terms of quantity. A small amount of psionic energy can summon a decent number of them. You should be satisfied!"

Ye Hai thought about it for a moment, and it seemed to be indeed the case.

Although the system seemed overpowered, it was always bound by rules.

After reinforcing some weak creatures to a certain quality, filling up this army of dismembering goblins with a certain quantity was also a very powerful reinforcement method.

At least when facing a huge population like ART-2, he could summon an army to fight them.

At that moment, the dismembering goblins collided head-on with the Xenomorph army.

Although these dismembering goblins were no match for the Xenomorphs one-on-one, what caught Ye Hai's eyes was that there was a certain degree of coordination among these goblins.

In this narrow space, the frontline battlefield could only accommodate about a dozen goblins and seven or eight Xenomorphs.

Taking advantage of their small stature, the dismembering goblins could basically manage two-on-one combat against a Xenomorph.

These dismembering goblins were fiercely fearless, completely ignoring the attacks of the Xenomorphs.

Often, when one goblin was attacked by a Xenomorph, another would nimbly strike the Xenomorph from a different direction.

At this moment, something that surprised Ye Hai happened.

The blunt knives in the goblins' hands, which looked covered in rust, were actually able to easily cut into the bodies of the Xenomorphs.

Ye Hai had previously attacked the worker drone Xenomorphs and knew full well the powerful defense of these things.

In Ye Hai's view, among all the morticians, probably only Zero's sharp claws and Joe's flying knives—such razor-sharp weapons—could easily cut open the hard shells of these monsters.

He never expected that the rusty kitchen knives in the hands of these goblins would be so sharp.

"System? What is this?"

"You mean the dismembering blades in the hands of these shorties?"

"I used psionic energy to reinforce them, making their sharpness extremely high!"

"Before the psionic energy attached to their kitchen knives is depleted, their sharpness is definitely no less than the claws of the Tyrant of Sleep!"

"And that's not even the best part..."

Ye Hai was slightly stunned.

Not understanding what the system meant by "that's not even the best part,"

the next instant, Ye Hai watched in horror as the Xenomorphs wounded by the dismembering goblins' kitchen knives curved the corners of their mouths upward, revealing an eerie and ugly smile.

At the same time, muscles throughout their bodies began to spasm, causing the Xenomorphs to twitch continuously on the ground.

Before long, they suffocated and died.

Even in death, the Xenomorphs maintained their ferocious grins, looking exceptionally terrifying.

Ye Hai couldn't help asking:

"What is this?"

The system replied:

"Tetanus!"

Upon receiving this answer, Ye Hai's jaw dropped as he stared blankly at the dismembering goblins fighting heroically in the corridor.

"Tetanus?"

"Killing Xenomorphs with tetanus?"

"Are you kidding me?"

The system responded coldly:

"It should be called psionic tetanus..."

"Psionic energy is used to greatly enhance the activity of Clostridium tetani, shortening the original incubation period of dozens of days to just a few seconds of sudden outbreak..."

"And rapidly multiplying within the host's body..."

"Further strengthening the destructive power of Clostridium tetani!"

Ye Hai shrugged helplessly and said:

"I am not asking you about the principles of tetanus!"

"It's just, how could something like tetanus possibly kill even a Xenomorph?"

The system said disdainfully:

"From your tone, I seem to hear a deep disdain for tetanus!"

"However, as long as any virus or bacteria is applied in the right place, it can produce massive destruction..."

"Given the current strength of the G-virus in your body, these dismembering goblins could force you into the G4 evolutionary form with just a single slash!"

Ye Hai was slightly startled. A single slash could kill him?

Tetanus killing the G-virus?

It sounded far too fantastical, but Ye Hai knew the system had no reason to deceive him.

Ye Hai could only attribute this terrifying tetanus to mutation under the influence of psionic energy.

Those weak goblins with only fourth-stage physical strength, after holding the "Blade of Tetanus," could actually trade two-for-one against worker drone Xenomorphs that were at least sixth-stage in strength.

It truly left Ye Hai full of admiration.

Just at this moment...

The dismembering goblins stopped emerging from the portal.

The psionic energy generated within the Silent Hill module must have been completely exhausted!

The number of dismembering goblins summoned this time reached about two hundred.

The fear generated by merely dozens of Crusaders was enough to produce so many dismembering goblins. Ye Hai felt it was extremely cost-effective!

Having witnessed the tetanus strikes of the dismembering goblins, Ye Hai felt that if these shorties were in sufficient numbers and swarmed the enemy, they could probably easily take down even an eighth-stage mutant!

At this point, the system urged impatiently:

"Take advantage of this moment and go get a few Xenomorph corpses..."

"So I can analyze these guys..."

"Confirm whether their internal components are indeed the chemical substance A0-3959X.91-15..."

"If it really is this stuff, with the corpses of these worker drone Xenomorphs, I can unlock the Xenomorph mode..."

"The Xenomorphs before you will all fall under your control!"

Hearing the system's prompt, Ye Hai did not hesitate.

He ordered a few dismembering goblins to retrieve several Xenomorph corpses from the carnage ahead.

Looking at the Xenomorphs with acidic blood flowing from their wounds, Ye Hai did not hesitate at all as his right hand transformed into a zombie-like state.

He reached deep into the internal organs of a Xenomorph, enduring the agonizing pain of acid corrosion.

The process did not last long.

After just over a dozen seconds, the system had completed its analysis.

"It can be confirmed that the birth of this type of Xenomorph is unrelated to the chemical substance A0-3959X.91-15!"

"However, upon analyzing their internal chemical structure, the A0-3959X part is completely identical, but the 91-15 part has become 99-15!"

"This also means they possess eight more genome pairs than the Xenomorphs in the original work!"

"These genomes can be modified!"

"The modified Xenomorphs will completely obey your commands..."

Hearing the system's words, a bright gleam lit up in Ye Hai's eyes...

"Build a Xenomorph army?"

"Good grief..."

"One hundred thousand Xenomorphs! There are even mutant Xenomorphs!"

"This will totally let me go toe-to-toe with those stinky spiders from ART-2!"
