When landing,
Those extremely aggressive mermaids swimming in the lake retreated on their own.
Even though their companions were killed in large numbers, they had no intention of chasing them... Or rather, they did not seem to be qualified to go ashore at the moment.
After several minutes of high-intensity escape,
Even well-trained people like Edmund began to breathe heavily and checked their bodies as soon as possible.
They took out a soft test tube from the hanging bag inside the coat.
Apply the liquid between the test tubes to the surface of the skin to clean the blood and lake water stains from the battle.
Edmund even took the initiative to hand Yi Chen a soft test tube.
"William, do you need something?"
"No…thank you."
Edmund shrugged, and naturally realized that Yi Chen was not affected by the water quality.
"It's only been a day and something of this magnitude has come to us. The next two days may be very difficult. I estimate that a group of examinees will die here."
When Edmund said this, he intentionally or unintentionally gave Yi Chen a special look.
However,
Yi Chen turned around and looked at the mermaid figure retreating in the lake, while looking at the completely bloated body of the sheriff.
"Can you give me this body?"
“Of course, there is no use for us to take such a corpse... After all, there are no descendants of the "doctor" or geniuses trained by the clinic among the team.
So, it would be bad if someone saw you dragging the body back like this, right? "
"Give me a moment."
Yi Chen trotted towards the streets of the town.
In just a few minutes, I bought a large enough burlap bag, as well as some spare small knives.
He packed up the swollen body with great skill and dragged it towards the hotel like trash.
Combined with Yi Chen's slightly thin and tall figure and gloomy clothing, he gives people the feeling of a "corpse collector".
"Hey, Mr. William~ I look forward to our next cooperation."
Edmund, with a sunny face, waved goodbye to him.
Yi Chen just turned his back, raised his free left hand over his shoulder, and responded reluctantly.
Wait until the figure slowly disappears,
Edmund frowned deliberately.
"Did you just see that
This guy also possesses a rare "plant-like" pathological trait. He is likely to become a doctor in the future and will definitely be in high demand among organizations.
The "high-quality leather" corresponding to this assessment will definitely be occupied by William.
Now we have to cheer up.”
Yuliana commented softly: "Born in a cemetery, but with a plant disease that symbolizes life... What a strange guy."
…
However,
What these people don't know is that
Yi Chen was still in a passionate state after killing the enemy and escaping danger, but he was deliberately suppressing his emotions.
“The psychological quality and combat skills of these guys are far superior to those of ordinary people… They must have received long-term training and are fundamentally different from me.
Teaming up with them might reduce the risk and also yield useful intelligence.
But my 'rookie' attributes will also be exposed,
By then, you might be exploited or even used as bait in dangerous moments.
It’s best to keep this half-baked relationship.”
Return to the hotel.
The boss was still observing the fish specimens at the counter and ignored Yi Chen who had returned by boat.
As he passed the counter,
Bang!
The boss suddenly placed a few white candles on the table and said without raising his head:
"Don't make it all over the place. The smell will disturb my sister's rest. Make sure the candle burns while you are dealing with it."
"knew."
Go back to your room and lock it.
Place candles in every corner of the bathroom, and when the aroma fills the air, you can officially start 'working'.
Next, Yi Chen needs to figure out a few things.
1. Why didn't the sheriff's body turn into one of the "mermaids" swimming at the bottom of the lake after he fell into the water, but instead drowned
2. What kind of physical changes will lake water bring to the human body.
Phew… Since I have never done anything like this before, I can’t help but feel a little nervous.
Before you start,
Yi Chen placed his hands on both sides of his cheeks.
hiss~
Emerald green plant seedlings grow from the fingertips, crisscrossing and weaving together to form a homemade plant mask.
Whether it is the stench of corpses or the fragrance of candles,
All of them can be purified into fresh air by masks.
"The ability to transform into a disease is really useful... According to Mr. Albert, as long as I pass the test, I can use some method to examine this ability in detail.
It should be possible to continue developing in the future.
It even reaches the level of zombies using roots as spears and whiskers as legs.
That's really interesting.
Even if I have to take the risk of death, it is much more comfortable than being stuck in the laboratory writing papers day and night. "
After these few days of experience,
Yi Chen felt that his nature was gradually being activated, and he also fully understood that this was the world that best suited him.
Crunch! Crunch!
Continue to weave a pair of natural gloves with plant tender strips,
With a sharp knife from the store,
Start working.
Perhaps it was because of the innate ability of William Behrens' body,
The process of handling the "corpse" was quite smooth, even comparable to the level of proficiency in conducting experiments during his lifetime.
Gradually immersed in it,
Very interested in this,
Even Little Grape was surprised at Yi Chen's concentration on this matter.
I don't know how many hours have passed.
In front of me,
The completely dissected corpse presented a picture beyond medical common sense.
The body cavity is full of mucus,
The positions of various organs change.
There is adhesion between the cavity wall and organs, and between organs.
The ribs became slender, pointed, and had extra bone spurs branching out, spreading throughout the flesh.
But some parts still maintain the original structure of the human body.
Such changes are not complete... it's like 'evolution failed'.
A clue that could touch upon the root cause of Green Lake Town's 'ichthyosis' has surfaced.
"If that's the case, it explains everything."
Yi Chen was very satisfied with the autopsy results and even bowed to the 'sheriff' to express his gratitude.
Packing residue,
Quietly dragging,
Digging and burying,
After the processing was completed, it was already midnight.
"Try taking a bath~"
The faucet in the bathroom was turned to full blast, flushing away the remaining tissue fragments and sticky liquid.
at the same time,
Yi Chen also took off his clothes.
Actively expose your body to cold water to wash away the sweat and fatigue.
The reason why I choose to take a bath is
One reason was that during today's battle in the Green Lake, Yi Chen had come into contact with the lake water, which made him sure that his skin could resist external infection from the lake water.
Second, it is necessary to make such an attempt.
The situation in the next two days is still unknown. You may fall into the Green Lake due to various reasons. It is necessary to carry out "hydrophilic adaptation" in advance.
During flushing,
Yi Chen could clearly feel the plant roots surging in his body, independently forming a defense system.
"No problem... Even if I run into danger and fall into the lake, I can ensure that my body will not be invaded."
A refreshing body,
Falling on the bed and falling asleep quickly
However,
Tonight still cannot pass peacefully.
Yi Chen, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened again.
Unlike last night,
This time the awakening was not caused by plant stimulation.
Instead, there were bursts of sharp, throat-tearing screams coming from outside the door.
It originates from 'Sister's Room' at the end of the passage.
Open the door.
Yi Chen turned his back to the door, observing through the small grapes between his sleeves.
In the shared visual window,
The door at the end has been opened,
The strong candlelight shines from the room.
Along with the candlelight, a red liquid also 'ran out' of the room.
Cold, sticky and fishy.
"This is… "
After some observation, Yi Chen decided to take action.
The kerosene lamp is hung around the waist.
Holding the axe in both hands,
Just as he was about to approach his sister's room,
The innkeeper's voice came from inside, mixed with a bit of impatience.
"Either stay away or come in and help."
