Walking in the underground river, Yi Chen's thoughts were still on what had just happened and the umbilical cord.
It is somewhat similar to the umbilical cord in the church. This thing is like an independent life. It seems to like sticking to Yi Chen and even regards Yi Chen as its 'owner'.
Considering the way to obtain this relic may violate the rules of the Gentlemen and Zion, Yi Chen chose to hide it and delete the events that happened at the foot of the high wall and the girl Lai Ni from this investigation.
It just so happened that Yi Chen was the only person involved in these matters.
Since the "black umbilical cord" prefers to stay in an organic environment, Yi Chen tried to pull the umbilical cord wrapped around his arm towards the opening of the chest so that it could stay with the plant heart.
The umbilical cord seemed to be able to sense Yi Chen's thoughts and slowly moved towards his heart.
When it came into contact with the plant's heart, it seemed to detect that the heart was a temporary product, not the original organ.
Black liquid, a symbol of new life, actually flows out of the umbilical cord port to reshape the heart.
certainly,
This kind of complete reconstruction is tens or hundreds of times more complicated than repairing the left arm.
"Relics are not only used for breakthroughs, they also have their own special effects, similar to accessories. As long as you carry them with you, you can play the corresponding passive effects.
This "black umbilical cord" is like a physical cheating device. As long as you wear it on your body, any injury can be healed slowly under its effect.
Moreover, it does not need to take in nutrients. According to the records in the book, these relics related to ancient times can get in touch with the old world through their special structure, internal and external engravings, etc., and directly obtain energy supplements from there.
No wonder there are no relics with clear price tags in Zion. Who wouldn't want something like this? 』
When the two returned to the ground, the chickens were waiting there.
The timid Xiao Pei did not take the opportunity to escape. It seemed that it had decided to become Jin's pet and led the flock of chickens to Zion for pet testing.
As the walls withered and crumbled, there was no longer any barrier to leaving the forest.
He even met Mr. Wilmer, the temporary head of the Black Eye stronghold, who came to check on the situation outside the tree wall.
He was first amazed that the two actually ended the incident and even brought back a group of controllable avian pathogens.
However, when he learned that all his teammates had died, his eyes immediately dimmed. After forcing a smile and congratulating the two, he returned to the base alone.
In such a world, although death has become commonplace, the death of a former friend can still devastate and torture a person's spirit.
The luxurious carriage arrived on time to pick up Jin and Yi Chen. All the chickens, except Xiao Pei, were placed in the lower compartment of the carriage.
Lying on the soft bed, Yi Chen did not feel the comfort he had expected, and even had difficulty falling asleep.
Suddenly, Little Grape's voice came to my consciousness:
"In such a world, mediocre people will inevitably face death in advance. There is nothing to worry about. As long as we are still alive, let's enjoy the present moment.
Look at that guy Jin, he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. 』
indeed,
Jin's snoring has come from the clinic,
His left leg hung under the bed, his right leg moved to the other side, his head tilted to the side and saliva kept flowing from the corner of his mouth. This sleeping position was indeed in line with a state of having experienced life and death and exhausted physical energy.
Xiao Pei huddled on the ground obediently, not moving a single muscle.
"No, I didn't think much about death. I know that the fittest will survive. I was just thinking about the problem of humans and patients..."
Little Grape seemed to understand the meaning of this, and responded with a strange smile:
"What's there to think about? Don't you have your own set of criteria? Don't worry about the difference. Just use your own criteria to distinguish.
It is because I appreciate this point about you that I am willing to take the risk with you.
If you really want to know the answer, you will naturally know it when you reach a higher level, go to deeper areas of pathology, or see the true face of this world.
Please break through the "human limit" quickly so that I can eat more delicious grapes. 』
While Little Grape was speaking, flesh-like threads kept flowing out of its mouth, as if it had gained some new abilities.
Gates of Zion
Since such a batch of infected animals were brought back, they had to undergo a number of examinations, including pathological, mental, and potential danger examinations, by quarantine inspectors stationed in the high towers at the city gates.
After receiving the inspection report, the chickens will be sent to Hippocrates Hospital for further testing.
It takes at least three days to get the final test results.
Gethsemane
Senior instructor Bailey Herta is still the same as last time, with her black leggings just stepping on the ground.
She was holding the new finger she had recently collected, stroking it while listening to Yi Chen's detailed outline of the whole incident.
When I heard that the two of them worked together to overthrow the entire church and prevent the birth of open source,
Bailey's expression only changed slightly, and she spoke in a normal tone:
“Things have gotten so serious, we should have sent more people to accompany you… If you two little guys die, the loss will be too great.
I will report to the Gentlemen's Hall based on the findings you verbally give me.
The guys above will also contact you to inquire about the details of the event in the near future, and the corresponding rewards will be issued in a few days.
I believe that the higher-ups will not be stingy in preventing the birth of open source, the diseased expansion of the forest, and the destruction of such a church organization when the gray area is just taking shape.
Be prepared to be praised, and then take a good rest these few days."
Jin was already getting a little impatient. She couldn't wait to go back and sort and process the meat in the bag.
One hand was pulling Yi Chen's arm, and the other hand was waving goodbye to the instructor.
Bailey raised her hand to signal,
“William, please stay for a moment. I have something to ask you privately. After all, this is your first time completing a mission we have assigned to you.
Jin, you are still waiting outside. "
Similar situations, similar scenes.
When Kim left the office,
The toes between the fishnet stockings clamped Yi Chen's tie, and an irresistible force came into play.
Bang! Half of Yi Chen's body was dragged onto the desk.
Bailey pushed up her glasses, her eyes full of interest in the young man.
“I didn’t expect you to come back intact, and you seem to be getting along very well with Jin… You really deserve to be accepted as the first gentleman.
Moreover, your body seems to be a little stronger than before the mission.
Is your physique at level 4?"
"Yes... By the way, I brought you two gifts while on duty."
"oh?"
Bailey was slightly interested and temporarily loosened her foot from between her tie, allowing Yi Chen to get his suitcase.
Yi Chen gently placed two completely different fingers on the table.
A thick one covered with hard rock, with the color of steel.
A wrinkled finger that looks more like a chicken claw than a finger.
Then,
Bailey slapped the village chief's fingers into pieces. She seemed to be uninterested in these thick fingers with no aesthetic appeal in the rock structure.
Then he gently picked up Granny Chicken's fingers and placed them in front of him.
Extend a soft, curved tongue from your mouth and gently lick the surface of your fingers, getting a deep feel through the touch of the tongue coating.
"It tastes good! I haven't encountered avian hybrid fingers for a long time, and it also has a strong smell of revenge. It's really good stuff, so I'll take it.
Tell me, how do you want me to reward you
This is Gethsemane, some of the gentlemanly rules on the ground can be temporarily put aside and speak your true thoughts. "
Bailey reclined in her office chair.
One hand supported the cheek sideways, and the other hand pinched the chicken lady's fingers.
With her feet resting on the table, she conveyed the hidden meaning to Yi Chen through her hooked toes.
Yi Chen stared at the impeccable toes between the black nets, as well as the perfect connection between the soles of the feet and the calves, and said with a firm look in his eyes:
"Please, Instructor Bailey, teach me some body movement techniques..."
"Ah~ That's it?"
