Chapter 279: Early Return

Within a few minutes, Shen Chao returned to the room he had been to yesterday, and everything in the room was similar to yesterday in his impression, with tall bookshelves and displays...... There are some minor differences, though.? Come on,.!

For example, the smell of disinfectant water is evident in the air. And the map of the world at the end of the room and the huge display on it were not the same as when he saw them yesterday.

Shen Chao knew that the huge world map was actually a double-open gate. When opened, it is followed by the location of Hargrave's life support tank. And the monitor above it should always show a composite image of Hargrave.

When Shen Chao left yesterday, the door of the secret room was still closed, but now, the door is half-open. The instruments inside can be faintly seen. The screen on the early return of Chapter 279 of the monitor was also black.

The head security officer ushered him into the room and told him to wait where he was, and then the big man walked briskly to the chamber. At first, Shen Chao thought that something had happened here.

But soon, he dismissed the idea, because soon the head of security came out of the chamber pushing a wheelchair with a hanging bottle on it, and it was Hargrave sitting in the wheelchair!

He actually left the subsistence tank where he had been for half a century! This scene in front of him really shocked Shen Chao, because just yesterday he had talked to Dr. Neville about the arrangement if Hargrave accepted his terms.

The first question was how to get the centenarian out of the tank. This isn't a Mass Effect world, and Hargrave is a very old man.

According to Dr. Neville's estimates, it would be very difficult for a case like Hargrave's to get out of the life support tank safely, and his body has been hibernate for 50 years, completely insulated from the outside world.

This means that the immune system of the old man's body is not able to effectively fight off the viruses and bacteria that have emerged in the past 50 years. Add to that so many years of full-body hibernation and a super high age. His athleticism will also be greatly lacking in Chapter 279 and returning early.

Thawing and restoring Hargrave's ability to function is a potentially big job, but will his nervous system still work? How far has muscle tissue degenerated? How do you need to restore immunity? …… None of this is known.

So, even if it is a qiēshun lì, it may take them a month or two to get the old man out of the subsistence trough safely. It may take one to two years for the old man to get back on his feet.

But now, the scene in front of Shen Chao's eyes shattered Dr. Neville's prediction, and Hargrave sat quietly in a wheelchair in a loose white hospital gown.

It can be seen that his limbs are a little stiff, and his complexion is much older than his image, but with his short silver hair and thin body, he looks like any over-age old man.

But Hargrave's eyes were bright, with a smile on his face, and for some reason he exuded a strong vitality.

Soon, the wheelchair was pushed directly in front of Shen Chao. Just as Shen Chao was about to say something, the old man beckoned back, and seeing his gesture, the security supervisor immediately reluctantly handed over a lightweight medical cane.

Hargrave smiled again after taking the cane from the head of security, then jerked to his feet, exerting all his strength as if he were using all his strength, clearly trying to stand up.

It can be seen that his physical function is very weak, and when he tried to do this, the old man's body shook and the muscles of his body trembled.

It can be seen that Dr. Neville's prediction of a significant deterioration in bodily functions is accurate. The old man in front of him was indeed very weak, but for some reason, Shen Chao was very sure that the old man in front of him could stand up on his own, so he didn't go over to support this stubborn old man.

He had never seen such strong willpower in anyone, and even though his whole body trembled and he endured great pain, the old man insisted on standing up on his own! This kind of unyielding energy is difficult to describe in words.

Sure enough, although it looked very difficult, after a few seconds, Hargrave still supported his body with his weak arms and stood up tremblingly!

It can be seen that the security supervisor behind the old man also wants to help, and it must be Hargrave who strictly ordered him not to interfere, so this strong man can only carefully protect the old man in the back.

"You're punctual, young man. I thought about your establishment last night and I will join you on your expedition. Hargrave gave his answer as he stood still, and with that, he supported his body with his left hand and stretched out his free right hand.

"I'm honored to have you on board, Mr. Hargrave. Shen Chao immediately stretched out his right hand and shook hands with the old man. He admired the willpower of the old man in front of him.

"Then you should be able to tell that I still need some help to regain my old state, do you have any more potions?" Hargrave asked with a smile after that, and slowly sat back into his wheelchair, still weak.

"Of course, wait a minute, I'll call the team doctor over......" Shen Chao immediately turned on the universal tool and asked Dr. Neville to come over and help with the examination.

A few minutes later, Dr. Neville arrived in the room dressed in a suit and carrying a medical kit. At Hargrave's behest, like Shen Chao, he did not go through the security check and arrived directly at this floor, so he still had a self-defense weapon under his clothes.

"This is our team doctor, Robert. Dr. Neville, he is a very good biologist, No. 2 Potion is his work......" After Dr. Neville came in, Shen Chao immediately introduced them to each other.

"You're the one?" Well, younger than I thought I was...... I watched your video carefully, and your real yàn design is very exquisite. Hargrave was a little surprised to know that the person in front of him was the one who had created the potion he had seen yesterday.

"It's my pleasure, I read one of your books last night...... Dr. Neville also hurried back to the old man's flattery, he had indeed read one of Hargrave's many books published yesterday.

Therefore, he knew what level of god the old man in front of him was, and he didn't dare to put on the usual posture of medical authority in front of such an all-rounder.

After flattering each other, Dr. Neville also began to do a comprehensive physical examination of the old man, the medical kit he brought was not large, but the detection accuracy was much better than any medical equipment in this world.

Ten minutes later, Dr. Neville determined the physical condition of the old man's whole body, and it seemed that long-term hibernation did cause great damage to the old man's body, but it could be repaired in the face of the medical means he now had.

Dr. Neville spent the next two weeks treating Hargrave, and the old man truly recognized Dr. Neville's medical skills during this time.

After two weeks of restorative treatment, Hargrave finally regained his basic mobility, and although he was still unable to exercise vigorously, he had no problem moving in his daily life.

During this period, Shen Chao negotiated with him the arrangements after joining, and Hargrave would follow Shen Chao to the main plane with a group of special equipment for maintaining the nanosuit and a small group of followers.

The biggest difference between this old man and the rest of the team is this, he has lived for a long time, and he has a group of very loyal followers who are willing to follow him anywhere and face any challenge.

After Hargrave regained full mobility and was confirmed by Dr. Neville to be in good health, Shen Chao arranged for the whole team to cross.

That night, he returned to the Main Plane with all of his teammates involved in the operation, including Hargrave and the six followers he had brought with him.

Five of the people Hargrave brought with him were his full-time bodyguards, including the security captain and the rest named Nathan. Goode is a member of the design team of Nano Suit, and the grandson of an old friend of his.

Nathan. Goode had not yet disagreed with Hargrave at this time, let alone resigned, and was one of the world's most prominent biomechanics thanks to Hargree's years of careful guidance.

Shen Chao did not interfere with Hargrave's candidate on this issue, and he has not yet told Hargrave about the direction of the original plot in the future.

That night, on the 20th floor of Hargreif-Rosh Biopharma, Hargreff, dressed in a fitting suit, was on crutches and waited for Shen Chao to open the door of time and space with six of his henchmen.

Shen Chao has been here every day these days, and many people in the building have seen him, and these Hargrave followers have all learned his true identity earlier today. However, only Dr. Neville was the only one of his teammates who had ever been there. Others don't know their size yet.

It was time to go home, Shen Chao made a gesture after making sure that Hargrave was ready, and suddenly, three other figures appeared in the room.

Alice, Dr. Neville, and Roy all three appeared in the room wearing armor. Their sudden appearance surprised several of Hargrave's followers, but Hargrave just smiled.

"Very discreet! This is his evaluation of Shen Chao, and he can understand the reason why Shen Chao arranged it this way. It's both a warning and a welcome. He himself is very similar to Shen Chao in this regard, they are all very cautious and cautious people, and only such people can complete the "impossible" task.

After everything arrived, Shen Chao immediately opened a space-time gate, and in this way, the group of them passed through the space-time gate and returned to the cross-cutting area of the second base with the recruited people.

As soon as he passed through the space-time gate, Shen Chao began to introduce the base to his guests. However, before their guests could finish their exclamation, a voice interrupted them.

"Captain? Oh, thank goodness you're finally back. Jonathan's figure came into their sight. This guy doesn't look like anything he usually does!!
