CHAPTER 61 THREE-FIFTHS DOWN
January 14, 2071βββ Sharetz Star Base 027 βββ Dr. Railton's Laboratoryβββ
"Please give way."
"Sorry, please show your ID card first."
Watts, who was carrying a "dark green mantis", glared at the special service soldier fiercely, because his body was covered with insect blood, his eyes were also a little blood-red, and his body was extremely tall, and the inadvertent deterrent force actually scared the other party back a small step. (Note: The Marine's head armor is double-layered, the exterior is pure armor, and the inner armor is plexiglass, so when the observation system is damaged, the Marine can remove the outer armor and directly look through the plexiglass.) Watts was now removing the outer visor, and his observation system had been damaged in the previous battle, so)
"This is the ID card, can I go in?"
The special soldier felt his gaffe and couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so he planned to embarrass the volunteer. At this moment, the door to the laboratory suddenly opened, and Dr. Rearton, with a surprised face, rushed out of it, completely ignoring the fact that Watts was still stained with a large amount of Zerg juice, and gave him a bear hug so fiercely.
"Good! All right! Watts, you kid is finally back! Mark is saved! Quick, come with me. β
"Yes, Doctor."
Carrying the huge "Dark Green Mantis", Watts walked into the laboratory like this, and not a single special service soldier dared to stop him, firstly because of Dr. Relton, and secondly, because he had a lord's head on his waist. It wasn't until the electronic doors of the lab closed that the special service fighters dared to make a sound. Well, they don't have to worry about being heard, and the airtight armor also has excellent sound insulation, and unless the microphone is turned on, no one outside can hear the armor user.
"This ...... This guy ......... Is it really just a volunteer marine? β
Leaving aside the extremely shocked special service fighters, let's take a look inside the laboratory first. Dr. Railton brought Watts into the lab and immediately activated the lab's surgical aids, instructing Watts to tie the "Dark Blue Mantis" to the bench, and he quickly changed into a protective suit.
As soon as Watts tied up the "Dark Blue Mantis", Dr. Railton walked in from outside, and the two looked at each other, both of them seeing concern in each other's eyes. Most of Mark's body has been covered in infected tissue, and only the head and neck are still normal. Pushing the test bed with the "Dark Blue Mantis" strapped to it, Watts nodded at Dr. Relton.
"Watts, Mark is less than 100 minutes away from being fully infected, we need to hurry, you see, those special service fighters were ordered to take me to the Arctic base, I can't stay here for long. I need your help to cut off the head of this 'dark green mantis'. β
"Hmm."
Without any delay, Watts picked up a cutting laser knife from the laboratory table next to him and plunged it into the neck of the "dark green mantis" at once. After Watts activated the power supply device, he grabbed the laser knife and pressed it down directly, and only half of the head of the "Dark Green Mantis" was attached to the body. A large amount of dark red blood spurted from the mantis's wound and soon filled the hospital bed where Mark was lying.
"Alright, now is it."
Activating the medical equipment around the bed, Dr. Rearton proceeded to excision of infected tissue from the surface of Mark's body in an attempt to balance the amount of human and infected tissue in Mark, so that the protist tissue that initiated the compatiogenesis could create a stable triangular balance with it.
"Please, it's going to be successful."
"Watts, Mark will succeed, because he is a phoenix and can always be reborn."
"Hmm."
Nodding heavily, Watts turned around and walked out of the experimental chamber, the blood of the mantis put into Mark's hospital bed was rapidly decreasing, and Watts planned to put the blood of a few more "dark green mantises". Dr. Railton thought the same way, so it didn't stop him. As for what those special service fighters think, it's not up to him.
At the same time, Mark's own consciousness began to slowly recover due to the intervention of outside organizations
"Uh-me"
Consciousness slowly returned, and Mark felt his body in a state of "seeing" for the first time. Glancing around, Mark found himself standing in the middle of a group of white polygonal tissues, and in front of him, a large group of dark red sea urchin-like tissues with spikes were fighting against the invading infected tissues and mutated prismatic tissues, although they suffered heavy casualties, but their numbers were more than any other, and the reinforcements of "red sea urchins" continued to arrive from the outside world, and soon, only "red sea urchins" were left in Mark's field of vision.
"Looks like someone is healing me in the outside world."
In the room of Marx's examination, some of the prisms around him began to move, floating towards those "red sea urchins". In Mark's astonishment, the "red sea urchin" and a part of the white prism fused together, and in the chaos, a new tissue with tentacles, spikes, and sharp edges was born. At this moment, Mark's consciousness was instantly enlarged, and his consciousness suddenly returned to his body, and the heart-rending pain and tingling sensation came from his whole body again.
"Ah!!h
"Mark? Mark are you awake? Doctor, come on, Marco is awake! β
Mark's scream startled Watts to his feet, and a surprised Watts immediately woke up Dr. Railton who was napping. Dr. Railton had been working for more than 30 hours, and the intense work had made him extremely tired, but when he heard the words "Mark wake up", he suddenly came to his senses and walked to Mark's isolation bed to observe.
"Great, Mark, can you hear me?"
"I ...... What's wrong with me? β
As consciousness gradually recovered, the pain in his body gradually disappeared, and all that was left was numbness. Looking at the dark red liquid around him, Mark was a little confused.
"You're a little injured, let's go get some home remedies and come back, and you'll wake up after using them."
Watts' explanation was lame, but Mark didn't suspect anything, he was already infected, so what was there to be afraid of?
"Really......... I felt like I had a strange dream, but it seemed like it was real, and I couldn't tell the difference......"
Dr. Rearton nodded at Mark after observing the instrument's measurements. "Mark, you're recovering faster than I expected, ......... in that case"
"Bang-"
The entire base shook violently, and before Dr. Railton could finish his sentence, the base's alarm interrupted him.
"Warning, a large number of Zerg organism signals have been detected."
"Warning, a giant biological signal detected."
Mark pursed his lips, raised his slightly recovered right hand, and grabbed the hatch switch inside the bed.
"I've been on the go, I've just woken up, and there's so much to welcome me?"
