79 The Night of the Experiment: The Beginning
Xiao Nan originally just wanted to take a vacation, but as if he was destined to do so, he was more and more drawn into the whirlpool of the Xiao family's secret treasures.
Originally, he had only planned to stay in Jiahu Town for four days, so he had to leave the place in another day. It's not that he doesn't want to investigate deeply, it's just that he knows that there are spies from the Great Marshal's Mansion around him, and he is also being watched by the "dark light", if he finds out too much about the secret treasure here, it will endanger the people in this town.
So he had to stay here for a few days and then return.
He did not tell the Major General about the old monk's sitting, and even the Major General did not know anything about the strange things that happened in the Lake District here. For example, no one will believe the words of the old Xiucai, and no one will believe the old monk's words.
The weather was sunny but it was cloudy and rainy again on the day they returned. Ah Cheng and Mei Lan stayed in Jiahu County, because Xiao Nan judged that Jiahu County was at least safe for now, and would not be affected by Xiao Cheng's infighting.
He also left Ah Cheng a large sum of money, which would be enough for the siblings to live in the future if anything happened to him during the experiment.
By the time he returned, Major General Winter had become visibly much more gloomy, presumably sensing that the date of the experiment was approaching.
When they returned to Xiaocheng, they found that the streets and alleys of Xiaocheng were plastered with notices, which meant that in the near future, Xiaocheng would conduct a comprehensive and thorough "air defense exercise", and the whole city would sound the alarm, and no residents would be allowed to go out to the streets for two days, and the doors and windows must be closed.
Lawfully kill on sight.
And the day of this so-called air defense exercise is the day of the experiment.
The Dashuai Mansion and the Xiao family have already begun to prepare for the experiment.
Returning to the courtyard where he had been absent for a few days, Xiao Nan returned to the original state of retreat, practicing calligraphy and reading newspapers at home every day.
The business affairs were completely handed over to the Seventh Young Master, and he also saved a lot of trouble, the only thing he was worried about was Wanyue, who was still being blackmailed. No matter how he thought, he couldn't think of how to save Wanyue from the control of the dark light on his own.
If the experiment fails, is Wanyue still valuable to them? Will she really become the last aunt of the Xiao family?
When Xiao Nan thought of this, he was full of bitterness.
Seeing that the date of the experiment was approaching, the major general even had the leisure to send someone to ask him to go to the courtyard of the sixteenth young man to assemble a prosthetic leg - Xiao Nan originally had a prosthetic leg brought from the future, but he didn't dare to bring it out because the technology was too advanced.
After Xiao Nan entered the specially arranged infirmary, those doctors came over to measure the various dimensions and data of the residual limb for him, which is the most annoying part of Xiao Nan, his residual limb and even the entire lower body have to be tested by the doctor in various ways, and it takes a long time.
I don't know why Major General Dong is so concerned about whether he is wearing a prosthetic leg, it must not be because Major General Dong doesn't want to see him with only one leg, nor because he is kind.
I guess the problem is with this prosthetic leg.
Sure enough, the prosthetic leg was made a few days later, it was the best wooden prosthetic craft at the time, and the appearance was also very realistic, using the lacquer production process, the color was already very close to the skin color, in addition, the prosthetic leg was also wrapped in special stockings used to create a realistic skin feeling, but it still wore the same as all prosthetics, bulky and depressing, and it was not at all as flexible as his modern prosthetic.
Xiao Nan put on a wooden prosthetic with the mentality of trying it out, and walked a few steps with the support of Xiao Fang, his motor nerves were very underdeveloped, after the previous amputation, despite the hard rehabilitation and training, he still couldn't walk well in the prosthesis, and his gait was obvious when he walked.
This kind of wooden prosthetic limb is even more difficult for him to control, and he needs to be equipped with crutches to move forward safely. He was very reluctant to wear a prosthetic, and even if he could stand up and walk on his own, he did not have the slightest sense of joy of "finally standing up".
What's more, after he lost a leg, his weight suddenly lost more than 20 pounds, and now he is wearing a prosthetic leg weighing several kilograms, which feels like a heavy burden.
For this reason, Major General Dong specially asked him to wear a prosthetic leg to take a look, and told him that it was best to wear this prosthetic leg when going out.
This sentence made Xiao Nan a little concerned.
The date finally arrived the night before the experiment. Two days before the experiment, the air defense siren bell was already echoing inside and outside Xiaocheng.
The entire Xiao City suddenly fell into a dead silence, like a dead city.
Even inside the Xiao family, electric bells will sound at night, so everyone is in danger, and no one dares to go out of their own room.
In the dark, Xiao Nan felt that he would definitely be unable to sleep all night.
Who knows, on such a sleepless night, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and before Xiao Nan beckoned Xiao Fang to open the door, the other party had already kicked the door open and broke in directly towards his bedroom.
The people who broke in were all the guards of the eldest lord of the Xiao family, those minions in purple clothes, and they broke into the house and said, "Thirteen young people, the eldest lord is invited, and I want you to 'go on the road'." ”
Xiao Nan was taken aback, he understood that this so-called "on the road" meant pulling him to do experiments, but he didn't expect the time to be one day earlier than the agreed time!
He told Xiao Fang not to show his head no matter what happened. So he sat up from the bed and said, "Let me put it on." ”
Those minions were not in a hurry, turned on the light, and sat there watching Xiao Nan get dressed.
Xiao Nan first put on his wooden prosthetic legs, and then put on a robe that he was used to wearing, it took a lot of time, those people just sat there and watched, and from time to time they held their arms and discussed, the voice was so loud that Xiao Nan could hear it clearly, and what he said made Xiao Nan very annoyed, what "it turns out that one leg is missing is like this", "I usually think he folded one leg up and pretended to be lame" and other brainless ridicule.
After putting it on, Xiao Nan put up his crutches and said, "You can take me away." ”
Those people carefully searched behind him and led the way in front, but it was not the inside of the Xiao Mansion that took him to the outside of the gate.
He struggled forward, exerting all his strength to barely keep up with the footsteps of those men, and when he went out of the sideways, the minions disliked him for walking slowly, and simply dragged him forward by his arm, until he reached the intersection, where many vehicles were already parked, and there were many handsome soldiers, all fully armed.
He was put into a prisoner's car, and in the car sat Major General Dong, who had apparently just been picked up.
Major General Dong's hands were already handcuffed, and his feet were also shackled, Xiao Nan thought to himself, he was not handcuffed, probably just because he was a cripple and couldn't run.
"I didn't expect you to bring a cigarette one night earlier?" Major General Dong looked at him with a pale face and asked with a smile.
"I didn't have time to bring it, I'm sorry." Xiao Nan said, "And I was searched when I went out." ”
Looking out of the car window, there was not a single pedestrian on the road outside, and no one had lights on, only the street lights on.
The car drove to the intersection that had been blocked for many days, that is, the place where Xiao Nan traveled through time and space.
"You'd better make sure we're all alive." Major General Winter said.
Xiao Nan took a deep breath and didn't answer him.
Finally, the car arrived at its destination, and at the original intersection, it was surrounded by various instruments and people wearing protective clothing, and the scene was also brightly lit by the spotlights, just like the presence of Xiao Tianyou's experimental site in the 21st century.
The two were taken out of the car by special soldiers with guns, and Xiao Nan was barely standing on crutches.
Not far from them was the fenced off streetlamp.
In addition, on the spotlight, there seemed to be several large iron cages covered with cloth, and strange and painful voices were heard from time to time in the iron cages.
These iron cages are connected to various pipelines, leading to many instruments as high as a hill behind them because of the strong light behind them, which is like a scene from a science fiction movie!
The pipes crisscrossed and stretched like vines to where they stood, like thick wires.
After the two of them stood still, the car carrying them and the others quickly evacuated to the special bunker around the perimeter, and countless machine guns could be seen at them with the naked eye as the center, forming a strange encirclement with a hollow center centered on the street lamp, and they were inside the encirclement.
There was a loudspeaker not far away, and a woman's voice was played: "Welcome to the 'test site', Major General Dong, Thirteen Youth, tonight this will be a stage completely prepared for you." ”
The atmosphere at the scene was mysterious and inexplicable, and Xiao Nan could be sure that whether it was the handsome, the old man or Xiao Tianyou, those who held the power
"VIPs", none of them were present.
Because there is a good chance that it will become "hell" here!
