NOVEL NEXT Chapter 755: Collar
"Officer, we don't know. We're only responsible for reporting to you. Whether the Council President sees you isn't up to us. Also, we don't know if the Council President is in the building. Why don't you rest and wait in a nearby area? We'll notify you as soon as there is news?"
These few beauties dared not neglect Su Mo. At this critical moment, anyone who can enter the Federation Building and ask to meet the Council President by name is a big deal.
Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say where the Council President was working, Su Mo realized it was unrealistic to go up and find the person directly, so he could only wait.
Su Mo then walked towards the nearby rest area.
As Su Mo approached, he discovered that this rest area was also divided into levels, with a regular rest area and a VIP rest area.
Though he wanted to complain, Su Mo honestly walked towards the VIP area. After all, if there's good treatment, why not enjoy it?
As soon as Su Mo arrived at the VIP rest area, he saw that a group of bigwigs who had just entered were gathered together as if watching some spectacle.
Curious, Su Mo approached to see, and his face immediately showed a look of astonishment.
Inside the VIP lounge, two groups were confronting each other.
On the left were five people, led by a giant man standing two meters three tall. He wore a black V-series Mechanical Armor. His face was chiseled, his gaze very sharp, and a NO.1 number was tattooed on his neck, exuding a terrifying aura.
Beside him stood a tall, blonde woman wearing a cyan V-series Mechanical Armor, her looks outstanding, with a playful smile always at the corner of her mouth, and a NO.2 number tattooed on her neck.
The third was a young man with a cold gaze and a face full of hideous scars. He was short in stature, wearing gray V-series Mechanical Armor, with a NO.3 number tattooed on his neck.
There was also a little girl in blue V-series Mechanical Armor. Her face always wore an innocent expression, her hair tied in twin tails, looking very cute, also with a NO.4 number tattooed on her neck.
The last was a red-haired man with a heavy aura of hostility. He wore a blood-colored V-series Mechanical Armor, had an earring embedded in his ear, and a NO.5 number tattooed on his neck.
Looking at these five people, Su Mo's pupils couldn't help but contract. All five had suppression rings on their arms, just like him, and wore distinctive black mechanical collars around their necks.
He instinctively felt that these five people were extremely dangerous.
"What are those mechanical collars?"
Su Mo asked the Fake Owner·Swallower in his mind.
"DK-03 type mini nuclear bomb mechanical monitoring collar, used to monitor pollution levels. If the pollution level spikes and goes out of control, it will automatically detonate."
The Fake Owner·Swallower answered.
"There's something like that?"
"Of course, there is. Moreover, once this thing is put on, don't even think about taking it off. Any violent destruction or attempt to dismantle it will directly trigger an explosion."
The Fake Owner·Swallower explained to Su Mo.
"Are these people criminals?"
Su Mo was puzzled as well.
"Not necessarily, but I know they are not normal people. They are experimental subjects who have undergone special gene and body modifications, not considered ordinary people anymore. In some sense, they are extremely dangerous. It seems the Federation has more means than imagined, achieving such results with even taboo experiments."
The Fake Owner·Swallower easily scanned the difference between them and normal people.
Su Mo's lips twitched slightly. No wonder they were given mechanical collars. Such dangerous things, anyone would be afraid of them going out of control.
But Su Mo had no idea that these five were not forced to wear the mechanical collars but willingly put them on to show their loyalty to the Federation.
Su Mo's gaze gradually shifted to the other side, where there was only one person standing on the right, someone whom Su Mo happened to know.
It was none other than Golory, who no longer had his usual indifferent expression, facing the group in front of him with some heaviness.
In a calm tone, he said to the red-haired youth blocking him, "Maison, step aside."
"Why rush off? Why not have a good chat with former comrades when you rarely meet? No matter what, we came out from the same training base, even though you're a deserter."
Maison sneered with a face full of ridicule.
Ignoring Maison, Golory attempted to walk past him.
Unfortunately, Maison didn't concede and blocked Golory's path again.
"What do you want?"
Golory responded coldly.
"I heard you're doing quite well lately, and your strength has presumably grown a lot. My hands are itching to spar with you. Don't say we're bullying you. You know I'm the weakest one."
Maison arrogantly said to Golory.
"I don't want to fight you, it's pointless."
Golory didn't want any conflict with the other party and attempted to sidestep him.
But Maison had no intention of letting Golory go. A flash of murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and Golory keenly sensed the danger.
The next moment, Maison suddenly erupted, throwing a punch directly at Golory.
Golory raised his arms to block!
A tremendous force came, his whole body slightly bent, and he stepped back, but he managed to withstand it.
Golory's face turned unsightly, fully aware of how much force he had endured, which exceeded his expectations.
"You've improved a bit."
Maison's gaze grew fiercer as he swung a left hook.
Golory didn't dare to take it head-on and dodged backward.
Seeing his attack fail, Maison fiercely swept a kick horizontally.
Golory had no time to dodge, and could only brace himself to block.
Bang~
Golory made a dull sound as he was hit and stepped back a big step!
Maison grew more excited, launching one punch after another at Golory.
Golory was utterly suppressed, forced to block continuously and retreat!
He gritted his teeth, constantly searching for opportunities.
Suddenly, Maison's ferocious attack paused, and Golory quickly seized the gap, unexpectedly switching from defense to offense with a swift hand chop aimed at Maison's neck.
Unfortunately, this was a flaw Maison deliberately exposed. He was waiting for this opportunity, deftly dodging the attack. His entire arm suddenly swelled and landed a heavy punch on Golory's chest.
Golory, like a kite with a broken string, flew out and crashed hard onto the ground, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Under normal circumstances, the outcome would be decided already, but Maison didn't intend to spare him and leaped towards Golory, stomping down aggressively.
Feeling extremely endangered, Golory disregarded his image and rolled over awkwardly to dodge.
Bang!
The solid ground cracked under Maison's foot.
Pushing himself off the ground, Golory quickly got up.
