"How long did I sleep?"

"More than nine years, almost ten years. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

When the awakened Patrick spoke, Kira couldn't imagine how many vicissitudes this "sleeper" who seemed to be about her own age had gone through. His voice was still young, but the tone and the emotion in it were as pale as his complexion.

"Hey, you...... Are you alright?" Kira asked tentatively.

"I'll answer for him," said madness, "he's not good at all, and he's on the verge of death." ”

"What ......"

"You've been in the freezing temperatures for too long," Mad explained to Patrick, ignoring Kira's questioning, "Before you were in Sleep, there wasn't much of the collapse fluid left in your AED device's memory, and now it's gone. ”

Patrick stepped out of the freezer, but he couldn't stand on his feet at all and fell forward.

"Tsk, you're going to die right now, just like an ant. "It's your negligence, you don't need an AED system to keep you alive during freezing." ”

"Now, don't talk about these things that are not there," Kira, who was standing on the sidelines and watching, was a little anxious, "What are we going to do to save him?

"Of course, but it's none of your business, Weak Chicken," said the madman, "it's dangerous for humans to come into direct contact with the collapse fluid, even through a layer of glass or something, the impact is immeasurable. Stay away from the British, Sommy, it's up to you. ”

Hearing this, Somi approached the console, and Arno walked to the gate with a nonchalant expression.

"Are you ready?"

"Hmm. Somi nodded.

"There are only two steps, take a collapse liquid from the table, pull the empty one off Patrick's back, and replace it with a new one. ”

"Eh, is it that simple?"

"Heh, you have to be very careful. "If you accidentally break the reagent tube, three lives will be in it in less than five minutes." ”

“...... I know. ”

Extreme risk-taking behavior, risking three lives to save one, you can imagine how much pressure Suomi is under. However, Kira can't do anything because he's just a human ......

"It's rude......"

Somi removed Patrick's hat and grabbed the collar and pulled it down his spine, revealing the hexagonal metal box on Patrick's back. The AED device is not very large in appearance and does not affect the movement of the spine as a whole, but it is located just below the neck, which is a dangerous critical area. Suomi carefully tried to remove the empty reagent tube from the center of the AED device from all angles, but repeatedly gave up for fear of breaking the reagent tube, and finally he was sweating profusely and did not take it off.

"It's too hard......

"Time is of the essence, tactical humanoid. "You use too little force, use a little harder!" The reagent tube can withstand the impact of the bullet, as long as you don't have to use all your strength. ”

"But the reagent tube is so deep, and the gap is still so small......"

"There's no time, quick!"

"Yes, yes!"

Unable to hesitate any longer, Suomi had no choice but to bite the bullet. She put her fingers into the gap in the protective shell, pinched the upper and lower ends, and pulled it out hard, pulling it three times in a row before finally withdrawing the reagent tube.

There was no time to breathe a sigh of relief, and the situation seemed to deteriorate.

Patrick Chow's body began to twitch up and down, and the muscles twitched violently, and even though Patrick didn't say a word, Kira could see that he was in great pain.

Not...... I can't bear to look at it.

Panicked, Suomi forced himself to calm down, and in the face of the moving device, the difficulty of inserting the new reagent tube into the gap was self-evident. She took a deep breath, held her breath, and slowly reached over with her right hand that was holding the reagent tube.

Luckily, the tube entered the gap very accurately, and Suomi installed the tube in one go. When she succeeded, she sat down on the ground with relief.

"Great...... "Even just watching from the sidelines, Kira could feel the tense atmosphere.

Once the tube was installed, Patrick was able to recover very quickly. He stood up, his cold eyes sweeping over the three people in the room, a cold light that nearly froze Kira to death.

"The movement of the arm is a little stiff and crazy. ”

", you're lucky not to freeze into a popsicle. Come here, I'll help you adjust. ”

Patrick sat down next to the console and put his arm on the machine he had made earlier.

His arm...... What's going on? Prosthetics?

Beneath the metal shell, some orange crystals glow faintly, slightly different from normal mechanical prosthetics.

"One last thing, Englishman," said Mad to Arno, "can you remove the core of that Nexus communicator?" ”

"If you just remove the screen and the dead stuff, it's fine. Arno replied.

Is this the man of action...... Kira had to admire these extremely efficient people, and what he didn't expect was that just as he was sighing, Mad had already checked Patrick's armament.

The room then fell into an awkward silence. Two (?) people who are working hard and two people who are doing nothing (?).

"Uh...... Well, since Mr. Patrick is still adjusting his arms and has nothing to do," Kira couldn't take the suffocating atmosphere and tried to find a topic to break the silence, "Can you tell us a little bit about your past?"

Patrick turned his head to look at him, but didn't say anything for the first time. The atmosphere froze for a few more seconds, and only when Kira thought his action had failed, did he begin to speak.

"Excuse me, just call me Patrick," his remarks surprised Kira, who didn't seem to be a difficult person to get along with, "as for my past...... I'm not very good at storytelling, sorry. ”

"Then we can't trust you, please think clearly," Arno was very dissatisfied with Patrick's attitude, "We don't know who you are or what kind of person you are, and you don't tell us anything because we saved your life?"

"Spare him, British," madness defended, "that he may have a severe social disorder, but it must be fake." ”

"Then let you come, you must know very well. ”

"It's not good to be too clear, I still need to organize the information, then generalize, and finally organize the language. If you don't mind, I'll release all his information and you can read it yourself?"

Arno rubbed his temples. It's nerve-wracking to communicate with these two people......

"Forget it. Somi, what should you know?"

"I don't know much," Sommy pondered, "it's all Ge...... Rumors from the company he used to work for were that there was a special team to help security contractors suppress the fighting in the polluted area, and Patrick seemed to be one of them, right?"

Kira had never heard of it. However, the suppression of the war ...... Fortunately, the old hatred is now gone, otherwise according to Somi's description, he and Uncle Arno would probably have no place to be buried.

"Yes, I was one of the madmen before I was born. ”

"Yes, I've heard similar rumors during my service, and it seems like it's not a coincidence......

"Alright, it's all adjusted. Madness said.

Patrick stood up and straightened the sleeves of his coat.

"It's time for us to hit the road. ”

"So what kind of squad is this team?"

Patrick put on his cap and hid his eyes in the shadows.

"You'll know. ”
