Chapter 64: The Girl with Wings (2)
The very dignified Mediterranean old man nodded first to Jesse and Zhang Le who came in, and Jesse introduced them to both parties: "This is Lord Theon, the mayor of Rock Town, this is Mr. Jaime, a second-level agile mutant, who used to be a freelance hunter with very good medical skills, and is currently a doctor at the Rock Town Hospital. ”
The old man nodded, "Welcome, Jaime!" ”
The middle-aged man who was a little wooden also looked at Zhang Le, turned around, and stretched out his hand to Zhang Le with a restrained posture that seemed to be habitual...... Hello. Zhang Le has seen this kind of performance in many people, such as Ouyang Ji, this kind of person is a person who is dedicated to research, and he is not good at and does not like to deal with people.
The tall, thin blonde man snorted a little disdainfully, ignoring Jesse and Zhang Le.
Jesse brought Zhang Le to the bed and said, "Mr. Jaime, you can check it out, and you can tell me if you need anything." ”
Theon and David both took a few steps out of the way, leaving plenty of room for Zhang Le. The tall, thin blonde man stood still, still with a look of disdain on his face. Theon's face sank: "Professor Kerry! ”
The tall, thin blonde man snorted, then reluctantly took two steps back and said, "I think it's a complete waste of time, and increasing the injection of tranquilizers is the best solution at the moment!" ”
David hesitated for a moment and said, "I think it's better not to increase the dose for the time being, which is not good for Ms. Bartory's health, so let's find the reason first." ”
Kerry exclaimed, "By whom, this savage hunter who can only fight with bugs?" ”
Hearing this, Zhang Le, who was examining Bartory, turned around sharply and slapped Kerry in the face, who was pulled out more than two meters away, hit his head heavily on the bell, and fainted. The time happened to be one o'clock in the afternoon, and the majestic bell rang just right, melodious and pleasant. Zhang Le had to sigh: "The quality of the bell is really good. ”
After beating Kerry, Zhang Le continued to check on Bartori as if he was fine, with a solemn look on his face. This Bartory is really a strange person, his body is messed up like this, and he can actually live. There was a green locust in the back of her head, a black-gold ant in her heart, and a sleeping bat in the top of her head.
Like the green locust, the bat's body has multiple brown threads of flesh that connect to Batory's brain. However, these two parasitic creatures did not make Zhang Le feel strange, but the black-gold ants crouching above his heart made Zhang Le find a hint of familiarity. This is definitely the handiwork of the flying ant queen, and the same feeling is still present in the white flying ant that is too beautiful to look like an ant.
Rock Town's classification system for mutated creatures identified the flying ant queen as a level 5 or higher creature, and it was not known who approached the queen ant and assigned it a grade. But Zhang Le now has a bolder assumption and a natural assumption, that the queen's intelligence has been evolving, including the emergence of insect people, including the emergence of this more complex parasitic system.
Giant ants have higher defense and combat effectiveness, but they can't fly, and only those who can fly are in the mating period, and the new conceived female flying ants will form a new ant colony, but the second generation of queens is obviously not as huge as the first generation of queens, and their speed and combat effectiveness are weaker than those of the first generation of queens, because Dazhahi once let a new generation of queens flee from the wilderness. Locusts can fly, they are faster, but they have much less defense, so both mutated creatures, whether they are giant ants or giant locusts, have their own obvious flaws.
A population cannot rely only on high-end top-level combat power, and each race has its own limits, and its combat power cannot be infinitely strong. The advent of humans has given this increasingly intelligent queen a new direction. According to the first bug man Zhang Le encountered, some high-level members of the Destruction Alliance had already combined the Radiant and the Zerg and turned into the Bug Man, and the Radiant Man was spared the fate of instant death, but became the walking dead. This kind of person who is completely controlled by insects is no different from insects to the queen ant.
And now, the queen ant has a new direction, or rather, it has always had this consideration, and now it has finally found a suitable parasite, which is Bartory. Parasitic locusts can make Bartory grow wings to fly, and parasitic ants should make Bartory mutate into a more defensive body, Zhang Le guessed that this should be the configuration of the second-generation insect people.
But what the clever queen didn't expect was that Bartori was a person with special abilities, and the source of her ability was the sleeping bat, a variable that caused the queen's plan to fail, and also made Bartory become the strange person he is now. After all, the queen ant does not have Zhang Le's three-dimensional perspective ability.
Zhang Le observed and thought at the same time, and finally roughly clarified his thoughts. Fifteen minutes had passed. No one paid attention to Professor Kerry, who fell to the ground, and everyone was looking at Zhang Le, who had been silent.
Finally, Zhang Le moved, he took the only chair in the room and sat down, turned to Jesse and said, "Give me a scalpel and a glass bottle with a lid!" There is a medicine box on the side, there is a scalpel in it, and the glass bottle is prepared by Jesse separately, she knows Zhang Le's ability.
Zhang Le first gave instructions to the locusts: "Sleep, retract your wings." Bartory, who had been writhing around, immediately stopped. But soon, an extremely painful look appeared on his face. However, the green wings slowly retracted into their bodies.
Zhang Le's face changed, and he hurriedly put his hand on Bartory's left chest, and under the three-dimensional perspective, the black and gold ants that had not moved just now actually moved and began to gnaw on the outer wall of the heart.
"It's actually linked, and it's a big trouble." Zhang Le looked closely, and there was an extremely thin flesh-colored silk thread extending from the top of the ant's head to the locust's brain.
"Sleep!" Zhang Le immediately gave the strongest command to the ants, but the black-gold ants only paused slightly and continued to bite. Bartorie rolled harder, letting out a weird cry of pain from his mouth. Bartorie had only writhed in anguidity, but now it was a writhing in pain.
In a hurry, Zhang Le picked up the scalpel and plunged it into Batory's left chest, and the tip of the knife accurately poked at the ant's body. A hidden white light followed the blade of the scalpel and landed on the ant's body. The black-gold ants instantly turned into charcoal, scattered into fly ash, and scattered in the ribcage of the chest. Zhang Le pulled out the scalpel, and Bartori had stopped struggling, calmed down, and began to breathe evenly.
Zhang Le's set of actions really frightened the three onlookers. But it happened so fast that by the time a few people wanted to make a move, it was all over. Batory's chest wound also stopped bleeding, and for high-level mutants, ordinary wounds would heal quickly.
Zhang Le also wiped his sweat, turned to Jesse and asked, "Did Ms. Battori have wings before?" It's this black wing! At this time, the green wings had completely retracted into the body, and in the place where the original green wings were, a black wing began to grow.
Jesse shook his head and looked at David and Theon again. Theon affirmed, "No, I know!" Zhang Le understood, I am afraid that Ms. Bartory has been a blessing in disguise, and under the strong stimulation of the outside world, she has achieved another mutation and evolution. But if this wing can be retracted freely, it is fine, if it can't be retracted, I wonder if Bartori can accept it?
This external stimulus should come from parasitic locusts that also produce wings, so Zhang Le decided to keep the locusts that could be controlled first, so that the mutation of the black wings might be more stable.
Zhang Le stood up and said, "Then let's do this first, let Ms. Bartory recuperate first, and when she wakes up, I will come over for treatment!" After a pause, Zhang Le said, "Loosen these ropes, tie them ...... It's so unprofessional, if it were me, it would definitely be more ornamental! ”
Theon paused for a moment, with a faint shame on his face, and said, "Jesse, send Mr. James back to rest first!" ”
Jesse sent Zhang Le to the door of the side door of the church, Zhang Le remembered the Kerry who was knocked unconscious by him, and asked, "Who is that Kerry?" ”
Jesse glanced at Zhang Le and said, "You only know to ask now!" Kerry is the deputy mayor sent by the headquarters of the Super Human Alliance, and he is also a well-known genetics expert, and the Alliance's auditory mutation gene was developed by him, although the effect is not very good, and the success rate of fusion is also very low, but it is also a great achievement. Actually, our town doesn't welcome him very much, because he is not a pure-blooded super-human concept, which is not to say that he likes radiation mutants, but for the struggle for power. ”
Zhang Le probably understood Kerry's situation, glanced at Jesse, and remembered another question: "If Ms. Bartory has always had a pair of wings in the future, then is she still a pure-blooded super human?" ”
Jesse affirmed, "Surely, she's going to be a more perfect superhuman!" Zhang Le stopped talking, it seems that Bartory is really an idol-level figure in the pure-blooded Super Human Alliance, and she has become a birdman and has brainless fans to support her.
Zhang Le returned to the hospital, and it was just half past one in the afternoon. Gretchen was consulting an extremely athletic middle-aged man with a fierce face that looked like a professional hunter. Zhang Le sat down, and as soon as he drank half a glass of water, he heard the middle-aged man scream in pain.
Zhang Le took a closer look, it turned out that the patient had a waist injury, and then observed it with stereoscopic fluoroscopy, and there was a slight dislocation of a bone in the lumbar vertebrae. Gretchen had been in charge of surgery and was not good at orthopedics, so he pressed in the wrong position, causing the middle-aged man to suffer even more.
Zhang Le smashed a fist into the middle-aged man's waist, and after a slight click, the misplaced bone was repositioned. The middle-aged man's screams stopped abruptly. He touched his waist in confusion, looking incredulous.
"Ten New Zealand dollars!" Alice's voice rang out like a robot. The middle-aged man stood up and said angrily: "Why is it so expensive, no injections and no medicine, I will be charged ten new dollars for a punch, I don't accept it, I want to complain!" ”
Zhang Le waved his hand and said, "Tell me your name, and you can go!" Alice held up the notebook in her hand and said, "I just wrote it down, Smith, forty years old, working at Highland Farm in Rock Town. ”
Smith looked puzzled and asked, "Is there really no charge?" ”
Zhang Le smiled: "Of course not. I have a lot of hunter friends, the wild has been very dangerous recently, I want them to change their careers to open a debt collection company, congratulations, you are the first business of my debt collection company, these people are not skilled in business, just can practice here with you. ”
Smith finally understood, his face turned red and white, and finally obediently paid the money, walked out of the door, and then turned back to the house and shouted: "Black shop, you are black shop!" ”
After Smith left, Zhang Le asked Alice, "Why only ten New Zealand dollars!" ”
"He's a poor man, and he doesn't pay much when he works on a farm," Alice said. ”
Zhang Le said: "Do you know how he got hurt? ”
Alice asked rhetorically, "Didn't you twist your waist while doing farm work?" ”
Zhang Le smiled: "No, it was twisted in bed." ”
Alice froze for a moment, then blushed and scolded, "What? Fuck! ”
