Chapter 17: The Doctor
Alan was completely absorbed by the sight in front of him, and a trace of fear could not help but rise in his heart.
Under the infection rays, the huge hemo-colored sarcoma was encased in countless strange creatures. The creature resembles a humanoid, but with a thick tail and hind limbs that resemble those of a wild animal, and they are curled up like newly-grown babies.
"What did you find?" Alexia noticed Alan's abnormality and hurriedly asked.
"Whether you believe me or not, this time we're really annoying." Alan still stared intently at the huge sarcoma, "There are countless strange creatures wrapped in this, and I believe it won't be long before they wake up." And judging by the energy that emanates from their bodies, these guys are going to be very tough. ”
"How do you know?" The middle-aged knight asked suspiciously.
"Trust me, I have what it takes." Eren pointed to his eyes, then looked at Alexia and said, "I finally know why Kelly is back, he is not coming back to find things, but to come back to create these monsters." We have to take action, and I don't know what the consequences will be if these guys are released......"
Alexia stared at Allen's eyes tightly, and after a moment of silence, she looked at the middle-aged knight, "How many of us are here this time?" ”
"A squadron of knights totaling fifty men, and two more squadrons are on their way." The middle-aged knight replied.
Alexia then looked at Alan, "What do we do now?" Blow it up? ”
Alan was about to speak, but an excited voice came from behind everyone.
"No, it must not be fried."
Alan looked behind him and saw a chubby old man walking briskly with a gentleman's cane. He wears a jet-black tuxedo, a gentleman's hat, a beard, and a round wafer on his left eye, which is attached to a thin gold chain and hangs behind his ear.
Alexia couldn't help but rub her temples, and she helplessly squeezed out a smile: "Dr. O'Connor, why are you here?" ”
"You little girl, if I don't come, you're going to blow up my baby." The old man was not small, and when he came up, he gave Alexia a chestnut, and Alan on the side was stunned, he was the first time he saw this beautiful knight deflated, and he didn't dare to attack when he looked at her.
"I got the news and came overnight. What do you little girl know, although this thing is dangerous, it is also a rare treasure. Dr. O'Connor took off his gentleman's hat and threw it to the middle-aged knight on the side, revealing the top of his bare head, he gently turned the lenses of his glasses, and could see a layer of red light gushing out of the mirror, he was surprised again and again, with an excited look on his face, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the result of the mutation of the blood zombies that appeared before." If I had to say what they were, I think they were the result of the fusion of blood zombies and some kind of creature. ”
Alan couldn't wait any longer, he stepped forward and said seriously, "Dr. O'Connor, right. I don't care if they're your treasure or not, I just know that they're dangerous and must be disposed of immediately. ”
Dr. O'Connor turned his head, his eyes looking at Alan under the red lenses, and the excited look on his face was swept away, replaced by confusion, confusion, and panic.
"This ...... How is this possible? Dr. O'Connor grabbed Allen's arm, and the red chip almost hit Allen's face, "Why do you still maintain your human appearance, why do you still keep a clear head, why?" O'Connor shouted hoarsely, and the knights on the side couldn't help but take a step back, and for a moment they were stunned by the momentum that Dr. O'Connor exuded.
"Doctor, how about we talk somewhere else?" Alexia reminded in a whisper.
Dr. O'Connor took a deep breath before letting go of the hand that was holding Allen, and then he took his hat from the middle-aged knight's hand: "You send someone to keep an eye on this thing, I believe that it won't be long before more of this sarcoma will pop up, don't act rashly, don't try to stimulate them." With that done, Dr. O'Connor looked at Alan and Alexia, "You two come with me." ”
The three of them arrived at a bright steam-powered car outside the town, which was clearly an extended version, and the interior of the car was extremely luxurious, even with a small bar.
Dr. O'Connor poured himself a glass of red wine, then sat down on the couch and looked at Allen, "I'm curious how you survived. ”
"I'm curious too!" Alan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Dr. O'Connor took a sip of red wine to calm his mood slightly: "I'm sorry, please forgive me for my gaffe. He pointed to his lenses, "There's a lot of stuff in there, stuff about viruses. And we also have some very obscure records about the virus in your body. We call the virus in your body the prototype. ”
"Doctor......" Alexia was about to stop O'Connor from continuing, but the doctor waved his hand and continued.
"It's okay, he'll find out sooner or later. After all, as the first person to fuse the prototype virus, he will soon be exposed to these. Oh, yes. I almost forgot, my name is O'Connor and I'm affiliated with a cutting-edge lab. Dr. O'Connor reached out and shook Alan's hand.
"My name is Alan!"
"Alan, what I'm going to talk about next is a secret story of the Republic of Steppen, I hope you can keep it a secret, at least don't spread it out casually. There are very few records about the prototype virus, it is the most mysterious virus, after our years of research, this virus is extremely lethal, no living thing can carry it, and after losing the vector, this virus will disappear completely. And there are only a few genetic fragments of prototype viruses in my database, and it is by them that I recognize the prototype viruses in your body. ”
"The guy who injected the virus into my body is called Victor Fran." Alan said with a little excitement that the cutting-edge laboratory is the most powerful scientific research institution in the Republic of Steppen, maybe they can help themselves, isolate the virus, and turn themselves back into a human being.
"Victor!" Dr. O'Connor drank the wine, "My teacher, it's him." He is the only one who has the talent to make the impossible possible. ”
"Your teacher? Victor Fran? Alan asked incredulously, he recalled Victor's voice that day, it definitely didn't look like an old man, and O'Connor, who had a gray beard in front of him, should be at least sixty years old.
"Victor Fran, the greatest enemy of the Republic of Steppen. He was a pioneer in gene fusion technology, and his first test subject was himself, and Victor used gene fusion technology to immortalize himself. O'Connor smiled wryly and said, "He built a cutting-edge laboratory and used it to do all kinds of human experiments. And Victor has a myriad of identities, and unfortunately, one of them is my teacher. It wasn't until twenty years ago that his identity was revealed, making him the most wanted man in the Republic. ”
"Dr. O'Connor, do you have a way to extract the prototype virus from my body, I want to become a human." Alan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and the whole person stood up and asked.
"I'm afraid...... Hard. Dr. O'Connor stood up, pulling out a metal syringe from behind the bar and walking over to Allen, "I'll do my best, though." He said as he plunged a metal syringe into Allen's skin and drew a blood sample.
At this moment, the car door was suddenly opened, and the middle-aged knight said loudly with a frightened face: "Doctor, captain, I think you'd better come out and take a look at this." ”
Alexia and O'Connor looked at each other, and then hurried out, Alan followed, now he was not in a hurry to leave, he had to figure this out, maybe Dr. O'Connor really had the ability to help and get rid of the virus.
"Hell!"
Dr. O'Connor scolded, it turned out that the sarcoma in the center of Jinyin Town had grown again, and the diameter had reached a terrifying fifty meters, and what was even more terrifying was that the sarcoma had bloody tentacles sticking out of it, piercing deep into the ground. You can see that the tentacles are supposed to be hollow, as they are constantly shrinking, as if something is flowing inside.
Allen's infected gaze followed the bloody tentacles all the way down, and finally went deep into the ground, although the infected gaze was not very penetrating, but Alan had discovered the surprising truth.
"Below, underground! More sarcomas have appeared, and they are still expanding! Alan looked at Dr. O'Connor and said in a solemn tone.
"Hell, hell, hell!"
Dr. O'Connor kept pacing, and then he suddenly came to Alexia, "Listen, I don't care what price you pay, I need a ** sample." Do you understand? ”
Alexia just wanted to agree, but Alan asked in an unusual atmosphere, "What?" At this time, you don't think about disposing of them, and you only think about asking for ** samples? In case this sarcoma ruptures and these monsters come to the surface, it will be a disaster for the entire human race? ”
Dr. O'Connor smiled coldly, "If it weren't for the alchemy potions and weapons provided by our cutting-edge laboratory, this world would have been overrun by these disgusting monsters long ago. Humanity should have been extinct a long time ago, put away your Virgin face. Each specimen will allow us to develop more weapons, not just for the present, but for the future of humanity. ”
"Captain Alexia, I solemnly ask you to bring back the ** specimen for me." Dr. O'Connor snorted and walked out of the village.
"What are you really going to get a ** specimen?" Alan asked, looking at Alexia.
"What do I need to report back to you?" The female knight said with a cold face, and then looked at the middle-aged knight, "Mobilize everyone and dig a passage for me." ”
Alan looked at the ground, and suddenly a wisp of scarlet color flashed in his gaze, Alan frowned and looked at Alexia: "If you really want to go, count me in!" ”
