Chapitre 88: Chapter 88: Kabane World?
The researchers who had just received Professor Fritz's response, addressed the two CP7 members in front of them. "The request for assault testing has been approved."
The latter looked at each other, and one of them asked: "Should we ask the headquarters if they will send more testing personnel or if we will do it?"
"Yeah." The other person nodded, and then contacted his boss through the headset hanging on his collar.
Professor Fritz is the director of the Institute of Biochemistry, so his permission has no meaning to these two CP7s unless these researchers want to go up and test it in person.
However, their mission is to protect these scientific researchers, so it is impossible for them to allow them to do so.
Soon, the two men received orders to directly test the aggressiveness and combat effectiveness of the undead. Meanwhile, outside the cell, two layers of army troops were holding automatic rifles and even rocket launchers.
"Leave someone to observe, the other researchers go out first. We wouldn't be able to handle it if something goes wrong." Said one of the CP7 members.
"Okay, I'll stay, and the others will get out." The researcher who had contacted Professor Fritz made the decision immediately, being the leader of the research group and with the authority to give orders.
Soon, in the dark hallway that led to the cell, only the three of them remained.
"I'll go, you stay here with him."
"Ok."
After a brief communication, the tallest CP7 member moved, stretching his neck and shoulders before moving forward, while the other stepped back with the researcher.
At the same time, the surveillance Den-Den Mushi on the wall was broadcasting everything that was happening.
"Ugh!"
When footsteps suddenly echoed, the undead, with a glow on its chest, sharply turned its head, its eyes also glowing brightly, giving off an eerie feeling.
When the figure of the man in black appeared outside the cell, the originally calm expression on the undead's face suddenly became fierce.
He was seen with his bloody mouth open, waving his dark arms and claws, letting out a bloodthirsty roar as he rushed forward crazily, and then hit the steel railing with a clang.
"Um?"
But just such a collision immediately shocked the man in black outside and the two people observing not far away, because the railing was bent directly!
Although the prison railings are not made of seastone, they are still made of steel.
"Oh, it seems like this little guy has strength." The CP7 member in charge of the test said, showing a mocking smile. He did not rush to act; he wanted to see if the undead could free itself.
"Roar!!"
The undead seemed to have been provoked by these words. Grabbing the nearby bars, he began to pull hard, creating a gap large enough to pass through, and then, with his fingers turned into claws, he pounced like a wild beast.
"Haha..." The CP7 member simply dodged the attacks, without returning any. He remained in place, skillfully dodging all of the undead's attacks, as if it were easy, while making comments.
"It has strength, but it is slow and clearly lacks brains. It is not even as cunning as a common animal, just a being controlled by the hunting instinct."
While dodging, he shared his opinion, as a reference for nearby investigators. Then he asked: "You said before that the infection route of this virus is through wounds, right, so as long as there are no wounds, it's okay?"
"Yes." The researcher who was hiding behind the CP7 member nodded nervously.
"That's okay, let's test the power of this thing." The man in black licked his lips and suddenly stopped moving, allowing the undead to pounce on him and bite him.
"Tekkai!" With a light scream, his body tensed to the maximum, the undead tore his suit and shirt, but could not break his skin.
His nails and teeth were useless, the undead, furious, began to hit the black-clad individual's chest.
[Bang! Bang! Bang!]
The hallway echoed with dull thuds, but the CP7 member's feet were firmly planted on the ground, not moving a step back from the undead's attacks. Finally, somewhat impatiently, he kicked the undead's abdomen, making him retreat and crash against the bars, and then against the wall of the cell.
"How about it?" The CP7 member who was protecting the scientific researcher asked.
"The power of the fist is about 300. No wonder it can bend the railing easily. I just don't know if its kind has this kind of power."
Hearing this answer, the researcher was thinking and said: "Judging from its actions just now, it seems that it has lifted the instinctive limitations of the human body, so it has such great power."
"But this test subject is a prisoner from our world. To understand the average strength of this world's undead, we would need to test someone from here or find an undead."
As they argued, the undead fell from the wall, its abdomen sagging, but it seemed unaffected as it stood up again.
"Attack his heart, the glowing spot on his chest." The researcher recalled out loud.
"Understood!" The man in black in charge of the test looked at the tattered clothes on his body unhappily, and his eyes turned cold when he looked at the undead.
"Shigan!"
He concentrated all his strength on his right index finger, approached within about two meters of the undead, and in a flash, accurately shot at the glow shining on the left side of the undead's chest.
"Soru!"
Instantly, after carrying out the attack, the CP7 member disappeared from the scene, dodging the desperate attack of the undead and reappeared ten meters away.
Meanwhile, the undead, looking at his exposed heart, then roared furiously and lunged towards the CP7 member again. The latter's face became gloomy upon seeing this.
"Didn't your finger gun penetrate its heart? Or is it still alive even if its heart was penetrated?!" The CP7 member, who was protecting the researcher not far away, asked.
"No, the feel of my fingers tells me that the Shigan only pierced the superficial skin of his chest, so his heart is intact." Said the CP7 member in charge of the test. He didn't expect the skin on the being's chest to be so tough; Upon receiving the impact of the Shigan, he felt as hard as steel.
"In that case, try again!" The CP7 member declared with determination. He disappeared once more and, like a shadow, passed by the lunging undead. In the next instant, the undead let out a piercing scream as it fell to the ground behind him, unable to get up.
"The heart is extremely hot!" The CP7 member said as he drilled again in the same place as before. Finally, he managed to pierce the undead's heart, but his index finger was burned by the sudden heat.
The man in black guarding the scientific researcher came over and asked: "How about it?"
"You should know that although the Shigan is said to be as powerful as bullets, in fact, the penetrating power of the Shigan is much greater than that of ordinary bullets, and it can easily penetrate the human body and even steel."
"However, even with that, a single blow only pierced the superficial skin on his chest. To kill him, we would have to attack the same place again." After saying that, the CP7 member in charge of the test shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Of course, it could also be me. I haven't practiced enough and I'm not very skilled in using Shigan."

Mary Geoise, Pangea Castle, Between the Moon.
Imu, at this moment saw the entire process through holographic transmission.
"This form of zombie looks like Kabane, with its glowing pupils, heart, and hard heart membrane."
He watched several scientists on the screen who were putting the completely dead 'prisoner Kabane ' into a body bag, falling into deep thought.
"I traveled to the world of One Piece, and now the Dimensional Gate is connected to another anime world..."
Imu closed his eyes and began to search for various information deep in his memory.
This anime was popular at the time, and of course, I had seen it. Although it had been quite a while, fortunately, his mental power surpassed that of the average person. Although he didn't reach the level of a biological computer or having a memory palace, searching through his memories wouldn't be a problem.
"Kabane, Kabaneri..."
About half an hour later, Imu slowly opened his eyes. At that time, he already had a clearer understanding of the world of Kabane, but after careful consideration, he decided not to reveal it to the Five Elders and others prematurely.
There will be more worlds connected by the Dimensional Gates in the future. The World Government would have to figure out for itself how to approach a new world. This world of Kabane did not seem particularly dangerous; It would be a good training ground for them to practice.
"Then is there anything in this world that is useful to me?"
In fact, Imu had been thinking lately about whether his power could advance further. Despite being considered one of the strongest in the world of One Piece, he knew that in the vast multiverse it was no big deal.
Imu thought for a while, and finally shook his head. The things in this Kabane world, whether it was the Kabane virus or the Kabaneri made by injecting the black blood, were of no use to him. He was not someone willing to become a monster just for power.
Furthermore, since the worlds connected by the Dimensional Gates would probably be anime worlds, he would surely find something that would strengthen his power more appropriately.
He wasn't in a hurry. He would take things slow.
"But the special resources of this world are a bit interesting."
Imu rubbed his chin, thinking. "Whether it's Kabane's heart membrane or the special high-pressure steam weapon called Tsuranuki Zutsu, they are all things that can be mass-produced."
Of course, the former can be regarded as either a non-renewable resource or a renewable resource, depending on the angle from which it is viewed.
...
Kabane World, Base of the Dimensional Gate.
Professor Fritz in the operating room, after listening to the detailed report over the earpiece, looked at the open corpse in front of him, deep in thought. This puzzled his assistant, who asked in perplexity: "Professor?"
"You just heard what was said there, right?"
"Yeah."
"So, if these undead only die when their heart is pierced, how did this one in front of us die?"
The assistant was puzzled, then stared at the body where the heart membrane was intact, feeling an inexplicable chill. "It means that...?"
"I'm thinking maybe he's not dead yet."
Professor Fritz's words left the assistant pale. He had heard how terrifying the power of these undead was. They could bend steel with ease and a wound from them meant being infected and becoming one of them.
Thinking of this, the assistant quickly backed away.
Meanwhile, Professor Fritz continued thoughtfully, expressing his thoughts.
"I'm wondering if it has entered a dormant state because it hasn't eaten for a long time. So as long as we find the food it needs, we could make him wake up again..."
"But, Professor, why do we need to wake it up?" The assistant asked with fear.
"Because we need to understand its bodily functions. There are no living subjects to observe and experiment with, so let's try to wake it up."
"But we could use prisoners to create living subjects..."
"What if the bodies of people in our world are different from those of people in this world?" Professor Fritz asked, leaving the assistant speechless.
"About its food, according to reports, it seems that it likes to bite people. So, what there is in humans that could be its food would be flesh and blood."
With this said, the Professor showed surprising surgical skill and dexterity in closing the abdomen of the body again. After finishing the operation quickly, he immediately put down the scalpel and walked out of the operating room. The assistant quickly followed him. He didn't want to stay in this operating room anymore.
"Please bring three bags of human blood and some human flesh, and then send someone to pour them into the abdominal cavity of the corpse inside. Please note that it is likely to wake up again, and please be careful about its bite."
"Okay, we'll arrange the personnel right away." The CP7 in charge of security nodded and began to communicate Professor Fritz's request to his superiors.
They were very efficient. They brought the test materials in just ten minutes, and then two men in black walked into the operating room and started the operation.
Professor Fritz and the assistant watched every move inside.
One of the men in black tore open the first blood bag, then pinched the corpse's jaw open with his left hand and poured the scarlet human blood into his mouth with his right hand.
After seeing that there was no reaction, he prepared to take the meat from the box. But at that moment, the body on the stretcher suddenly opened its eyes, burning like flames, and he rushed towards one of the men in black who was next to him.
"Be careful!"
The face of the man in black on the other side changed drastically. With a quick and explosive movement of his arm. He punched the undead in the cheek and buried his entire head in the operating bed.
After the commotion, the other man in black instantly disappeared from the scene, only to reappear in a corner of the room, looking with disgust at the undead that was trying to remove its head from the stretcher.
"Isn't he dead yet?" The CP7 who launched the attack was very surprised. A blow with that power to a normal person's head should have left an internal mess.
"Roar!!" Finally, the undead managed to pull its head out, but it was evidently sunken in on one side, with one dark eye protruding. However, he was not dead. He seemed more enraged than ever and lunged at the man in black who had hit him.
"Professor Fritz, do you want to kill it?"
The man in black used the Kami-e to easily dodge the undead's attacks and asked loudly towards the outside of the operating room.
"Try its power first, and then attack its heart to see how it is different from the undead prisoner before!" After his guess was confirmed to be correct, Professor Fritz looked very excited at this time.
"We still have another undead from this world for further examination!"
"Understood".
The man in black stopped the undead's frantic attacks using the Tekkai and then pierced its heart using the Shigan.
When he withdrew his finger, looking at the fallen undead in front of him, his face was full of bewilderment. "What's going on? His power level doesn't even reach a hundred, and that heart skin, although it's hard like a layer of steel, can't stop the Shigan at all."
"Isn't that Gus guy too weak? He had to perform two attacks before he could kill the undead."
