Chapter 305 Chapter 302 Unlucky Dog
A week later, Zhuang Xuteng was able to be discharged from the hospital, but he had to stay with Ge Gongdao. Watching Daoge being pushed into the operating room, although he knew that the upcoming "surgical accident" was fake and all tricks to deceive the enemy, he still couldn't help worrying. What if he couldn't control it well? What if his hand slipped? What if... What if the fake became real?
So he sat in front of the operating room door, armed with real bullets.
Since the Tattoo Plastic Surgery Hospital opened the implant surgery business, it has received all kinds of customers, including mercenaries and gang members, and has experience in how to deal with guys like Zhuang Xuteng. Doctor Jianhei came to guarantee him the safety of the operation, and then said a very crucial sentence: "If you sit at the door like this, according to regulations, we have to hire mercenary bodyguards through intermediaries, or ask gangs to come forward to protect the safety of the operating room. In that case, the fact that Ge Gongdao was operating inside can't be concealed, and it will be difficult to explain to Lucy."
Zhuang Xuteng was convinced by the last sentence.
Performing surgery on Ge Gongdao requires an explanation to Lucy - Doctor Jianhei clearly hinted that his action was negotiated with Lucy and was part of the action plan. Zhuang Xuteng stared at him and warned him seriously: "Don't mess it up!"
It is enough to show your attitude. Carrying live ammunition does not increase the success rate of the operation, and it may even have the opposite effect by scaring the doctor. Zhuang Xuteng also knows this. He did this just to test the progress of the entire operation, just for what Doctor Jianhei said.
This operation involved more than four intelligence officers, and confidentiality was the most important requirement of the operation. This resulted in Zhuang Xuteng and Ge Gongdao not being able to know the specific status of the operation, and they could only move forward step by step according to the initial plan. This feeling is like walking on a night road, with darkness all around, and only the intermittent white dotted lines on the road under your feet. Even if you know that you can reach your destination by following the dotted line, this cannot completely eliminate the psychological pressure caused by blindness.
In terms of mission experience alone, Zhuang Xuteng feels that it is not as good as when he stole the train carriage. Stealing a carriage is more difficult, but everyone knows what they have to do, what they still lack, and they work together to solve the gaps. There is a tense, united but reassuring atmosphere. Unlike now, we can only wait quietly for the plan to move forward and hope that the enemy will step into the trap... Viper, come and find something! If you don't come, I feel itchy!
Here, itching is not a description, but an actual thing. The implant of the driving assistance suit has completed the initial startup and is currently in the running-in stage, that is, it is fine-tuned according to Zhuang Xuteng's movement characteristics. This stage will make his body itchy. According to the instructions for use, after the running-in stage, the itchy feeling will disappear, and the degree of muscle expansion will generally decrease. At that time, you can start to try full-power operation.
During the running-in period, it is better to be still than to move. Unless you want to make the muscles swell more, you can't do deep exercise. In addition to walking a few steps in the ward, Zhuang Xuteng's only exercise is sitting still. His body is already idle and grass is growing. He had always been used to exercising every day. With this free time, coupled with the anxiety of waiting for the progress of the task, he wanted Viper to come quickly.
The red light in the operating room came on, which meant that the operation had begun. According to his own experience, the red light would be on for more than ten hours. Zhuang Xuteng had prepared food and water and was ready to stand guard at the door. And his way of passing time was to sit in meditation and practice spells.
With the installation of the driving assistance kit into the body, the upgrade of the implant came to an end for the time being. It is difficult to find a better implant on the market, unless you are lucky or the company is merciful and willing to release its most core combat strength. For some time in the future, Zhuang Xuteng will use this implant, and the supercomputing martial arts will also be based on it to exert its power.
The main direction that can be improved has become spells, and to be more precise, it is the necromancy with the vengeful spirit as the core. The vengeful spirit can not only be used as an auxiliary means to play the effect of extending the hands and feet, but it also has offensive and defensive capabilities. The resentful spirits with enhanced "sorrow" can evolve into ghosts, shadows or terrifying demon spirits. The latter's howl can kill a large number of enemies within the range, which has always been one of the most representative abilities of the necromancer.
Zhuang Xuteng also envied that ability, but he also knew that strong power requires continuous hard learning and training to obtain, and cannot be rushed. At present, his short-term goal is to enable the resentful spirits to produce the effect of "touch of weakness", the principle of which is to transfer the resentment into the enemy's body through the touch of the resentful spirits. Since the resentment and the side effects of implants are very similar, Zhuang Xuteng believes that this trick is expected to have a miraculous effect on enemies with strong implants.
For enemies without implants, supercomputing martial arts and current implants are enough to deal with them, and don't forget the gun.
Since Zhuang Xuteng began to focus on spells, the attitude shown by the lich master has been significantly better. Whether it is answering his questions or sharing his own experience, he is more proactive, and the previous faint sarcasm has also decreased a lot. At the same time, the lich master also showed great interest in the content of the stone pillar No. 74. Every time he asked Zhuang Xuteng to go to the stone pillar to read the articles, he kept urging him to update the content.
What Boss Qian left behind is still a fragment of words that are scattered with each other. The content is complicated and lacks context, and the context is unknown. But judging from the sentence style, it seems that they are all written by the same person, and they should be a summary of this person. However, some of these contents are spoken words, some are official documents, and some are poems or letters. It is very difficult to organize them. Zhuang Xuteng didn't have the brains, so Master Lich volunteered to take on this job.
"Although this pillar was not erected by me, its appearance in the main hall should not violate the rules here." Master Lich said to Zhuang Xuteng: "The owner of the knowledge can fully understand it, and the bystanders can only rely on their own opinions." The most basic rule is to see the corresponding content according to the level of understanding. Zhuang Xuteng, you have to improve your knowledge level and work hard to improve your understanding so that the things on the pillars can be displayed stably. "
Zhuang Xuteng turned his head, moved his eyes away from the knowledge pillar of the Resentful Spirit Necromancy, looked at the Lich Master and said: "I also want to improve myself, and I am also improving myself, but where should I start? ? What part of the content recorded on that pillar is considered? What kind of basic information should I use to study it? "
"This is stumping me. I haven't figured it out." It was rare for the Lich Master to admit that he was not good at a certain aspect. He even shrugged his shoulders. "It can be seen that there are some war contents, and some meetings are held to discuss some ideological things. I think you can take a look at war-related things first."
"Well... let me start with the previous corporate wars!"
"It depends on you. I can't help you. But I have good news for you." Master Lich said calmly: "You can already walk on your own."
"Ah? Walking? I..." Zhuang Xuteng was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "I can no longer be paralyzed?"
"Yes. Even if I die, you will not turn into a puddle of ooze and die. Your body has recovered." Master Lich explained: "The implant took over my work and reconnected your soul. With my body, I won’t be needed anymore!”
"This is really good news. I finally..." Zhuang Xuteng thought for a while and said, "Actually, I should thank you most at this time. If it weren't for you, I would have died long ago. In such a chaotic situation, complete paralysis is no different from death. . No one here would help me, and even if they wanted to, they wouldn’t have the time.”
"You don't have to thank me for this. You and I take what we need from each other and owe nothing to each other." Master Lich said: "I no longer have to work hard to support your body, so I can accumulate more mana and regain strength faster. "
“It’s going to cost a lot to support my body?”
"You have flesh, which is indeed much more laborious than simply supporting a skeleton. Fortunately, I don't even have a skeleton now, so just think of it as the time before the meeting..." Master Lich reluctantly left the invisible stone pillar and slowly walked back. Throne, he said to Zhuang Xuteng: "First, practice the grudge spells to the top level, and then learn all about corpse manipulation. By then, you can make me a temporary body without money from the boss or the grocery store."
"Is that possible?" Zhuang Xuteng's eyes lit up and he said, "I've been thinking I couldn't find it for you..."
"Stop talking nonsense, I just say yes." Master Lich waved his hand: "You'd better hurry up, because as your bones become harder and harder, I will become more and more greedy for your body. You must not only have a mission You must have a sense of urgency. Your soul is so weak, I can swallow it at any time.”
Although he couldn't see Master Lich's expression and couldn't guess whether this sentence was true or false, Zhuang Xuteng didn't think it would really do that unless he stopped making progress and stopping being useful to Master Lich. Under the encouragement of the Lich Master, Zhuang Xuteng would always seize the time to practice spells, first mastering the wraith spells, and then practicing corpse control.
Under his command, the wraiths hide in his shadow, turning from completely transparent to gray. Gray is the characteristic color of Zhuang Xuteng's resentment, which is related to his physique and state of mind. The Lich Master said that its wraiths are always purple, symbolizing the revered status and powerful power of the strongest necromancer and the mage king. Zhuang Xuteng bridged the two worlds, and the blend of black and white is the current gray.
The advantage of gray is that it cannot be seen hidden in the shadows. Zhuang Xuteng trained the resentful spirit in the shadow, creating and ordering it to carry harmful resentment. The resentful spirit carrying resentment is "heavier" than before, and it is very difficult to control. It always moves slowly and reacts slowly. This requires Zhuang Xuteng to devote more concentration, to remember the magic circle that controls it more skillfully, and to form a memory like a conditioned reflex, in order to...
Hiss, this kind of training method is very similar to super calculation martial arts, both use proficiency to gain progress. Zhuang Xuteng has adapted to this training method and has great patience for it. Isn’t it just a matter of getting used to it slowly? Whether it's physical, mental or technical, just grind!
The implant surgery solved the hidden danger of paralysis, and Zhuang Xuteng could also take this opportunity to regain control of his body and lay a solid foundation for martial arts. In the past, he relied on the help of the Lich Master to maintain the operation of his body, which also included nerve reactions, muscle movements and various daily movements. His control over them was never 100%. Now the situation is different. He is the sole shareholder of the body. After regaining control, he can pursue a higher degree of control and increase the upper limit effect of various martial arts.
Zhuang Xuteng is very confident about this, but we have to wait until Ge Gongdao recovers from surgery and has a fight to see what the final result will be.
A rush of footsteps sounded from inside the door, and Zhuang Xuteng immediately became alert. While retracting the resentful spirit, he looked in the direction of the door. The operation had been going on for eight hours, and if something was going to happen, it would almost be now.
The door opened, and a petite nurse walked straight towards Zhuang Xuteng and said to him: "There was a problem with the operation, and the doctor is solving it. The patient is in pain, but it is not life-threatening. Don't worry, continue to wait for the follow-up news. Maybe you will listen Some whining, that’s normal.”
"Is this normal? Did I howl during the operation?"
"The patient has wolf-dog ancestry, and is a rare person with a moderate or higher level of awakening. In addition to his extremely tough fur, he also urinates." The nurse pointed to her soaked shoes and said, "He injected the injection through urination. The medicine was discharged, including heart rate control, breathing control, blood coagulation control, rejection control and pain relief medicine. Halfway through the operation, we could no longer stop using physical methods. , and then continue treatment.”
Hiss... doesn't that mean you have to be awake for the surgery? Zhuang Xuteng didn't understand. Brother Dao had obviously told the doctor about his characteristics, so how could such a problem still occur?
"His ability to urinate and excrete medicine is too strong, much stronger than we expected." The nurse explained: "If we only inject medicine, he will continue to urinate, which will lead to dehydration and affect his life safety, so we must replenish water while Continue to push the medicine. In this case, the amount of medicine is difficult to control. "
At the same time, enough medicine needs to be replenished, while at the same time, the part excreted by the gongdao needs to be added, so the dosage cannot be so accurate. Medicines are three-part poisons, and the line between overdose of therapeutic drugs and murderous poisons is very blurred, so doctors can only be extra careful.
"So we can only give priority to injecting safe and very necessary drugs, and the rest rely on physical methods to adjust the patient's own constitution." The nurse said: "At present, anti-rejection is the first priority, and everything else is It has to be paused. We will also speed up the operation, which means that the postoperative scars may be more obvious and the recovery period will be more difficult.”
Zhuang Xuteng nodded and said, "Please do your best to ensure life safety first."
"We have always been like this, and then..." the nurse said: "Since we have been working in the urine, you should pay the increased part of the operation fee first!"
They were still on the operating table and the knife was still in their hands. What could Zhuang Xuteng say? What can you say? Go ahead and pay...
The surgery continues. Seeing that Zhuang Xuteng took the initiative to pay more euros, more doctors in the hospital put on disinfection equipment and joined the operating room to support. Regardless of whether they can play a key role, as long as they can make the attending doctor a little more relaxed and have more energy to deal with dangers, then the money will be well spent.
The howl of Ge Gongdao came faintly, and was caught by the ears with enhanced hearing. Zhuang Xuteng listened carefully. There was no trace of acting in it, it was all real. He was starting to get a little confused. Was this part of the plan, or was something really wrong? His heart couldn't help but rise to his throat, and he was restless for the rest of the time.
After another four hours, Ge Gongdao was finally pushed out. Since no anesthesia was used, he was conscious and the pain was excruciating. He tried hard to take a breath, endured the severe pain, and gritted his teeth and said to Zhuang Xuteng: "These guys finally saved my life, don't touch them."
Then he fainted.
