Chapter 67: Undead Beings Upgrade
Laura's subordinates gathered around her, and almost everyone was injured. These individuals were her most loyal followers, not members of the Magedel family.
From a young age, Laura understood that the people sent by the family were not very reliable. Therefore, over the years, she had been working hard to cultivate her own power. This time, the situation was critical, so she had to bring her most loyal followers along, as well as some experts sent by the family. However, now, most of the experts sent by the family were dead.
Laura initially wanted her subordinates to help, but upon seeing their condition, she hesitated. Her subordinates had almost no combat ability left, so sending them would be pointless.
Zhao Hai had just brought the members of the undead mercenary group into the space when he heard the space prompt sound: "Detected high-level robotic entities entering the space, program shows malicious intent towards the space. Re-implanting program... Implantation successful. Robotic entities have no toxins affecting attack power. Strengthening toxins. New robotic entity program is advanced, extracting program, injecting it into existing robotic entities in the space, enhancing robotic entities."
The prompt was rather long, but Zhao Hai understood its meaning. He had succeeded; the six members of the undead mercenary group were indeed undead beings. After entering the space, they had been transformed into his subordinates. Moreover, unlike the swamp undead beings, these six had no toxins. The space had actually enhanced the toxins in their bodies, making their attack power stronger. It turned out that the undead beings from the mercenary group were higher level than those already in the space. Consequently, the space had enhanced the level of the other undead beings based on their characteristics, meaning that all the undead beings he had captured had leveled up.
Before Zhao Hai could revel in his success, a green shadow shot towards him. When it was about ten meters away, it shouted, "Young master!"
Hearing Galen's voice, Zhao Hai noticed that he was holding two black figures. They were likely the remaining members of the undead mercenary group. With a thought, Zhao Hai caused a spatial rift to appear again, and Galen casually tossed the two members into the space. This time, the space prompt sounded again, but it only mentioned modifying the program and strengthening the toxins; the rest was absent.
At that moment, all the undead beings around Zhao Hai suddenly glowed faintly. The light was very dim and quick. If Zhao Hai had not been sitting on the alien creature, he would not have noticed it.
When the light faded, Zhao Hai discovered that all the undead beings present had changed. Their green hue had deepened, and they appeared much more agile. The red flames of their souls in their eyes burned more fiercely.
The alien creature underwent an even more significant transformation. Its entire body turned dark green, except for a white area on its head, which resembled a pattern that looked like an eye. However, the eyeball within that eye was a more complex pattern. If one glanced at it casually, they might think it was stationary. But upon closer inspection, it seemed to swirl, as if it was trying to draw in one's soul.
Additionally, the alien's size had increased. Originally ten meters long, it now stretched to about fifteen meters, with a height of five meters. Its chest cavity had also changed dramatically. Where the ribs had been, there was now a sealed space. The rib bones on both sides had become wall-like, presenting no gaps, yet they were as transparent as green crystals, allowing Zhao Hai and the others to see outside easily.
The height of its chest cavity was now two meters, allowing Zhao Hai and the others to stand and move around inside. The wooden planks that had been there were now on the ground outside. Inside its chest cavity was a space completely composed of dark green crystal-like bones, measuring two meters high, four meters long, and about three meters wide. The ceiling was arched, and the floor was flat, covered with the cotton blankets Zhao Hai had taken from the space.
