Sol felt he had understood a bit.
"Are you... really a Genetic Warrior...?"
He asked that initial question again, but this ti the context was completely different from before.
Zhang Xiaoman naturally understood his aning.
The other party asked like this, probably uncertain whether he was a Genetic Warrior or a Mutant.
He had been on Guleng Star for a while now and had so understanding of these special professions.
Unlike Genetic Warriors, Mutants are humans with even more formidable physical qualities.
Such people usually appear in the black markets within the No Light Zone, which is exactly where he was now.
Mutants are born from illegal individual human experint modifications.
In contrast, Genetic Warriors are ford through reasonable modifications and guidance of human genes by the Federation Army.
One is brutal, seeking power without regard for consequences.
The other follows the evolutionary path of life for modifications, primarily focusing on Control Power.
The enhancent of physical qualities is small, but there are no side effects.
Generally speaking, in terms of strength, speed, and other aspects, Mutants surpass traditional Genetic Warriors.
But as a result, their physical appearance undergoes various extraordinary changes.
For instance, growing a tail, or having their body covered with scales.
In any case, at a glance, one could tell they were not normal people.
Let’s take the simplest example.
Back on Water Blue Star, Makula himself was a properly modified Genetic Warrior, while the humanoid monsters he created were Mutants.
Therefore, this was why, even though Su Ya had undergone modifications, her strength was not as formidable as the "Four Great Ambassadors" back then.
After all, the purpose of modifying Genetic Warriors was to control cha, not rely for physical combat.
Now that Sol was asking such a question, it was only natural.
However, when faced with such a question, Zhang Xiaoman did not imdiately provide an answer.
He was neither a Genetic Warrior nor a Mutant, completely different from the career systems understood by the other party.
After so thought, he shook his head slightly and said:
"I am not a Genetic Warrior..."
At this, Sol’s face showed a hint of relief.
anwhile, so of his n appeared troubled.
They felt like they had bungled the task entrusted to them by the boss and didn’t know what kind of punishnt they might face.
"Not a Genetic Warrior, then you must be a Mutant..."
Sol looked at him again, secretly guessing that perhaps hidden under his clothes was a body covered in black scales.
"Although different from my requirents, your mutation doesn’t seem too extensive, and you should be able to wear a Corona Combat Suit..."
"Corona Combat Suit?"
Zhang Xiaoman was sowhat puzzled, not understanding why the other party would say this.
"I believe Pedro should have already spoken to you. Our mission this ti is to search for the hidden base I was stationed at in the past."
Sol began explaining the situation.
"It’s in a wilderness outside the city, surrounded by dangerous Savardo, so it would be difficult for to reach it alone..."
"Therefore, I need a partner. Just that ordinary Mutants don’t et my criteria; their bodies are too large to fit into the Corona Combat Suit, which ans they can’t leave this city..."
He glanced at Zhang Xiaoman again, letting out a slight sigh of relief, and said:
"But you seem like a good guy. Even though you’re a Mutant, your body’s size is actually the sa as a regular human, so you won’t have to worry about not fitting into the combat suit."
"I see."
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, understanding the other party’s intention.
"So where is that base you’re talking about? How far is it from here?"
Sol didn’t seem afraid that Zhang Xiaoman would change his mind after hearing the information and readily disclosed his destination.
"To be honest, before the Crimson Apocalypse, I was an instructor with the Federation Ninth cha Corps, stationed in a secret defense line outside the local area."
"I am probably the only one who knows its exact location, and it had plenty of supplies. Once we reach it, we’ll surely gain a great deal."
"As for the specific distance, I estimate it’s about two hundred kiloters, and if we speed up, we can reach it before dawn..."
"You can see the current situation yourself. The population inside the No Light Zone is increasing, and food is becoming scarce. If this continues, this place will soon collapse. We must find other ans, or else staying here is just waiting for death..."
"If you’re willing, I can give you half of the base’s resources afterward as paynt for this deal..."
Through Sol’s account, Zhang Xiaoman learned about the other party’s background.
It turned out that the base he previously guarded was a relatively hidden defense point, usually known only by senior command personnel within the Federation Army.
That’s why Su Ya wasn’t aware of it.
Thinking of the re two hundred kiloters distance ntioned, Zhang Xiaoman felt even more assured.
Though this journey might seem extensive to ordinary people, reaching it on foot within one night was nearly impossible.
But in the eyes of an Awakener like him, it was just a matter of minutes, right?
Whatever Mutant Beasts, whatever Mutants, those obstacles on the road were rely decorations.
On the side, Sol was also looking at him expectantly, waiting for the deal to be finalized.
"Well... if that’s the case..."
Finally, Zhang Xiaoman spoke up.
However, just as he was speaking midway, a burst of commotion suddenly ca from outside the store, accompanied by a few shrieks.
"Ah!!"
A skinny man was thrown straight in from outside, who turned out to be one of Sol’s n.
"Damn sissy! Get out here! All you do is hide in your bed crying like a baby!?"
A hoarse and unpleasant voice rang out as a tall figure entered through the door.
Due to his height, the entire doorway almost couldn’t accommodate his entry.
"Clank!"
That person was surely here to make trouble. With a single yank, he pulled down the tal door fra and successfully entered.
His height was at least around two ters three, and his body was covered in muscles as hard as steel, with sharp bone spikes on joints like the knees, looking very ugly.
Mutant!
The newcor’s identity was obvious. He was a Mutant, modified viciously.
"Tie Dan! What are you trying to do!?"
Pedro recognized the new arrival.
"What am I doing? Hehe..."
The burly man called Tie Dan sneered, then walked directly towards Sol’s side.
"I hear you’re the strongest in this black market? All the resources have already gone into your pocket?"
Tie Dan stood beside the table, his gigantic figure blocking the torch’s light, casting a large shadow.
"Since when does the boss of our No Light Zone get to be a Genetic Sissy like you?"
He was arrogant, apparently looking down on Sol’s Genetic Warrior strength.
But indeed, previously, when Mutants faced Genetic Warriors, it was hard for them to gain the upper hand due to those high-tech auxiliary combat gear the enemies wielded.
However, the tis had changed.
Since the Crimson Apocalypse, none of the high-tech equipnt could be used, and Genetic Warriors lost their most advantageous weapons.
In close combat, against Mutants who had surpassingly extraordinary physical qualities—even reaching the level of Mutant Beasts—Genetic Warriors were definitely not their opponents.
Therefore, it was clear that this Mutant was eyeing this black market as his target, here to seize territory.
