Chapter 444: Deep Sorrow (53): The Last Commission (Part 2)
"In that case, we have to wear these heavy things." Yaroslav complained.
It took a lot of effort for Yaroslav and the two doctors to put on the heavy protective suits with each other's help. They wrapped themselves very tightly, as bloated as deep-sea diving suits, leaving no gap even for their heads.
If it weren't for seeing the road, the three of them would have wanted to replace the glass lenses on the protective helmets with white metal fiber materials that isolate radiation.
After confirming that he was fully dressed, Yaroslav said to Dak with a little apology through the intercom placed in the protective suit:
"I'm sorry, Dak. There are only three protective suits left in Kanosk and the 'Artificial Lake'. As a superpower, you have successfully escaped from the harsh environment of the 'Kushen Ruins', so you should not be affected by radiation. Therefore, we did not equip you with protective clothing. Please understand."
Listening to Yaroslav's noisy voice coming from the loudspeaker at the throat of the protective suit, Dak was very uncomfortable, but he nodded slightly, expressing his understanding of the shortage of materials in the camp and his approval of the arrangement of the commander-in-chief.
After pulling the remote sensor near the gate and "entering" the password, the huge metal door was slowly opened. Walking inside, Dak found that the space for the isolated ward was actually just a huge room, but it was divided into several areas by metal partitions.
In each area, beds and necessary medical equipment were placed to treat the federal [warriors] who were affected by radiation, which was actually "Shang".
Many of them did not have obvious external injuries, but physical changes could be seen, such as blackened skin, charred fingers, broken arms and thighs, or strange vines, tentacles, and other things that did not belong to humans.
Most of the doctors here, like Yaroslav and the other two, wore heavy protective clothing. Even though they were inconvenient to move, they were still operating on the tortured mutant [warriors].
Walking inside, Dak, who was not wearing protective clothing, heard the continuous and continuous wails of pain, as well as the roars, scoldings, giggles, hums, or screams of [warriors] who were affected by the mind and had hallucinations.
Even with the coordination of Vasily and Yaroslav, the basic medicines in the "temporary war zone hospital" were barely enough, but most of the patients here could no longer be treated with conventional means. In addition to physical mutations, most of them were mentally abnormal.
Thanks to the Federation's unremitting investment in medical care and education for more than 500 years after the "New Dollar" crisis, most wounds and diseases can be treated through a series of means, either surgery or drugs.
Only when it comes to diseases caused by "extraordinary power" do doctors from all over the Federation Council feel powerless.
Continuing to walk inside, Dak found that the bodies of the wounded in the compartment were covered with a layer of light, extremely easy to ignore black substance, which was very thin, just like the mist formed by the abundant water vapor and the lower temperature in the morning light.
In addition, many wounded were still extremely excited and roaring in the last second, like beasts, throwing down the doctors next to them, ready to bite with open fangs, and then suddenly their eyes rolled back, their bodies stiffened, and then died.
Of course, if someone dies, someone will recover and leave.
The two doctors brought by Yaroslav explained to Dak that there are regulations in any isolation ward like this one in the Federation. As long as you stay for 15 days, have no obvious mental abnormal symptoms, and pass the radiation test of special instruments, you can leave after it is below a certain standard.
In other words, even if Wolfya and Luo Nie are in good condition and their conditions improve after treatment, they can leave here at the earliest after 14 days.
However... Dax thought, now that Ivan XXII has died, and the Federation has achieved a phased victory in the battle with the "Chaos Group" and the "Comprehension Church", it is only a matter of time to dig out the technological products buried by the old empire in the "Ku Shen Ruins".
It is estimated that "Xu Ling" representing the "Order Society", "Fu Bing" and Adaroni representing Vasily himself, and Genadi and others representing the Federation Army will soon meet here.
It is estimated that it will not take long, at most half a month, for humans to launch the final general offensive against the Lost.
If during this period, Igor's group of scientists successfully cracked the information provided by other "cores" with the help of the old empire's technology and documents, then, let alone "Tian Ji" and "Tian Shu", the other four "Evolution Platforms" will soon be opened at the same time.
I heard the conversation between Ivan XXII and the two Lost Ones, "Future" and Roca, and the "Evolution Platform" was just a chess game set by Ivan XXII to calculate the Federation.
Now... the Lost Ones Organization and the independent armed forces that could stop the "Evolution Platform" plan are unlikely to take more actions. Only by finding the gods behind the "Echoes" and "Pramini" as soon as possible can I destroy Vasily's "Evolution Platform" plan that brought disaster from a higher dimension.
It seems... I must leave the "Artificial Lake" camp the moment Wolfya and Luo Nie walk out of the "Temporary War Zone Hospital" and go north as soon as possible to the "Bersluna" area to find the wind wall in the ice and snow.
All I can do is race against time, and try my best to find a place before the Federation completely cracks the secret of the "Evolution Platform", or ask the gods to... destroy one.
But...with my own strength...can I really do it? In other words, if "Xu Ling"'s so-called reincarnation caused by the "Reselection Pattern" really "existed", can he... really break through the arrangement of fate and get out of the conspiracy... and reincarnation?
While thinking, Duck came to the innermost compartment of the isolation ward, a relatively quiet and spacious place.
His eyes passed over the patients who were bound by iron chains and still had the strength to struggle wildly. Duck came to the white plastic door next to the cubicle.
With the consent of Yaroslav and the two doctors, Dark opened the small door with traces of coke and blood.
However, before he took a few steps into the room, Yaroslav closed the door from behind and locked it.
"Commander-in-Chief, what does this mean?" Dak ran to the door and asked.
"Don't panic, Dak." Yaroslav's voice mixed with electricity came into Dak's ears, "This is a rule. Anyone who comes to visit must stay in the same cubicle with the patient and must go up. This is to prevent patients from attacking doctors and nurses due to accidents during visits.
"Also, Dak, you only have thirty minutes. When the time is up, you must leave with us no matter what, and go to the 'quiet room' above. You can only leave the hospital after you are well under observation."
Dark knew in his heart that what Yaroslav and the others were afraid of was that he, like those patients, would be contaminated by extraordinary power, radiation, or inexplicable energy and fall into a state of madness.
The reason for temporarily locking yourself in a cubicle is just to consider that if you have a problem, you can isolate yourself and treat yourself on the spot, so as not to cause trouble outside.
Although this explanation sounded very far-fetched, in line with the principle of seeing things through without telling them, Dak simply said "Oh", then turned back and walked into the compartment, reaching the two innermost beds.
Fortunately, this place is not as Dark expected. It is not filled with devil-like roars whizzing by, or the night cries of wild beasts and birds of prey, nor the violent breathing sounds coming from the dying moments of the deceased, and Those Federation [soldiers] whose souls were extracted and only their bodies were left struggled fiercely out of instinct.
When Duck came to the bedside, he pulled out a military-style mazaar from the small bedside table, stretched it open, and placed it on the ground. He raised his head and looked at one near and one far away. His arm was connected to a slender infusion, just like the infusion that a dying person draws the last of his life force. Wulfya and Luo Nie, who were stunned, raised their heads and joked:
"I just heard from the doctor that most of the patients here have mental problems. They are either biting people crazily, or they are tied up with chains and treated with scalpels. But you two look very normal. You are different from the ordinary wounded people above. No difference."
Hearing this, Wovya lifted the quilt, and his muscular and strong body tossed several times on the hospital bed, causing the bed made of spliced steel pipes to creak and almost fall apart.
After finally sitting up and breathing a sigh of relief, Wovya slapped the guardrail of the hospital bed with the hand that was not on the IV drip and complained:
"I get angry when I talk about this. We just wanted to help Luo Nie, and we accidentally entered the 'Brutal Ruins' under the attack of those 'mechanical dog-headed' monsters. Dak, you are the judge, Yaro It’s okay if the old Slavic man doesn’t send troops to find a way to rescue us.
"After leaving Zhuoriyigo, if Luo Nie and I hadn't been lucky enough to find an 'emergency exit' dug by craftsmen when building the tomb of the old emperor emperor and escape, we don't know what we would have encountered.
"But then again, Dak, we haven't seen you since we left Zhuoliigo. After coming out of the pile of rocks next to the 'man-made lake', I looked for you for a long time until I met Oleg. We didn't see any trace of you from the subordinate patrol team. How did you escape?"
"How did you escape?" Dak subconsciously touched the back of his head and tried to recall as much as possible, but the memory after defeating Zhuoriyigo, especially the details, was like coming from a wonderful dream. After waking up, that memory has begun to become blurry.
After sorting out the language a little, Duck still picked out some key points and said:
"After leaving the metal plate passage, I seemed to have arrived at a palace-style garden in Crusted. There was a pavilion there, which should have been white pillars, which looked very red under the light. After that, I also saw Lots of sunflowers, and Kruse germanium-sunflowers are there.
"I also met a girl. For a girl, she looked like Princess Crusted. She was wearing a gas mask, but I remember the air there was not smelly."
"It sounds like..." Luo Nie also sat up, turned his head and looked at Dak and said:
"It's very similar to what I saw after putting on 'Klassen's Mask', the building complex wrapped in blood. I remember thirty years ago, the residential area below the Explorers Association in Sunida Town, Zine Empire, and When the children of the Tein sect were together, I spliced two masks obtained from different places, and after combining them into one, I briefly entered that strange, uncomfortable blood-red space. "
"Although... your experience feels very rich, and the proper nouns of these places and organizations sound very high-level, but I am curious, Luo Nie, what happened thirty years ago, you can still remember so many details. "Dak said half teasingly, half admiringly.
"You know, Dak, I am a mechanical body. As long as I want, I can remember anything that happens every moment, including all the details, until my brain's storage is full." Luo Nie said with a curled lip. :
"Actually, I only entered that space for two or three seconds, and I was forced to leave there due to the double feeling of dizziness and vomiting. Compared with this matter, I wanted to complain about Yaroslav's arrangements more. You all know Even though Wovya and I are your friends, he is still so inhumane and puts us here with a group of madmen. Anyway, I am also helping Igor find the scientific research of the 'Tianshu Evolution Platform'. People, they have no respect at all.”
"Luo Nie, you still have to relax." Dak patted Luo Nie's leg and said comfortingly:
"The supplies here at the 'Man-Made Lake' are not as abundant as those in Binglin City and Xinfeng Town. The basic medicines are just enough, let alone all kinds of medicines and vaccines that can neutralize the 'Unintentional Virus' and 'Shang'. Yes. For Commander-in-Chief Yaroslav, safety is above all else, and we... still have to understand him. "
"Come on, Dark. Just tell the Commander-in-Chief and Deputy Commander-in-Chief Oleg. Don't believe it yourself." Luo sneered:
"They all have 'special medicines' specially supplied to military commanders, so naturally they can stand and talk without pain. But don't forget, I am a 'machine body' created by the 'Lord of Machines'. Even 'Lure' and 'Charm' is immune to more than 99.99%, not to mention the 'sad' in 'ruins'.
"For our 'mechanical body', 'sad', which is what those unskilled doctors call 'current radiation', will at most make my body parts age and my movements stiff, and it is impossible to affect my consciousness. Besides, I The mechanical power can help me discharge the 'radiation', so I don't need to come here for isolation treatment."
"But don't forget, you are a human being with [personality] now." Dak reminded:
"Luonie, don't have any illusions. Your emotions, moods, and complaints just now are no different from human beings. You are no longer a 'mechanical body', so you will naturally be affected by mental pollution and 'sad'.
"Also, the process of expelling 'Shang' may affect other normal [soldiers]. I advise you and Wulfya to wait until 15 days later, and the instrument will test and confirm that there is no problem before leaving here." .
"However, the reason why I came here this time is not to argue with you about whether the arrangement of placing you in isolation here is reliable, but...I plan to...as soon as you leave the hospital, we will immediately go north to find the Echoers '…and, 'Plamini'."
