Fu Jinghai is dreaming.

A long, boundless dream.

Sometimes he feels like a fish, breathing oxygen in the water and swimming in the deep sea.

As he swam he would think: this is what it feels like to breathe in the water.

Sometimes he feels like a bird soaring in the sky, a petrel in a junior high school text.

The texts he had memorized as a child were dimly presented in his dreams, and he flew in the storm as a petrel.

Storms, storms, lightning and thunder......

"Smack!" A bolt of lightning struck him through the dark clouds.

Grass, it hurts!

Fu Jinghai felt that he was about to be numbed by thunder, one moment it was his chest, one moment his abdomen, and one moment his back.

Is this the price of being a scumbag?

Suddenly, he felt a chill on the top of his head, and the whole person had a feeling of sudden enlightenment......

But most of the time, it's a vague dream.

Until......

[You have successfully transformed into a White Scar Legion Space Marine, and reached the stage milestone event!] 】

Start Counting Assimilation Points...... 781 points】

The cold voice in his head passed through the muddy nightmare dream and went straight to Fu Jinghai's thoughts.

He was awakened at once.

Fu Jinghai opened his eyes suddenly, and what caught his eye was a turbid and surging fluorescent yellow liquid, through which the transparent glass cover could be seen outside.

Fu Jinghai found himself naturally breathing in the liquid, and the flowing liquid filled his lungs with the breath, shuttling through the mouth, nose and throat.

Moved his hands and feet, it felt a little strange and fixed, but he had a feeling inexplicably.

I feel like I can break free with a slight twist.

But Fu Jinghai didn't move, lying in the glass cabin, calmly looking at the surrounding environment.

At the same moment, the red alarm light outside the low-temperature culture chamber suddenly turned on, making a "drip-drip" sound.

Master Kunto, who was buried in front of the workbench, suddenly looked up.

"Huh? Woke up early," his mechanical prosthetic eye flashed, "half a month ahead of schedule." ”

He walked to the culture room.

Fu Jinghai saw through the turbid culture liquid that there seemed to be a figure shaking outside, and was about to stare intently, when he suddenly felt a shock in the cabin, and the liquid surrounding him was slowly descending.

"Whew-click!"

As the liquid ran out, the glass door opened.

Fu Jinghai saw the old face under Master Quintto's dark red hood, and the dark green mechanical prosthetic eyes.

Fu Jinghai's vocal cords were sticky and spoke: "Master......"

"Come out, be careful, don't fall, and don't push too hard." A familiar hoarse voice.

Fu Jinghai struggled to control his slightly unfamiliar limbs, carefully stood up from the training cabin and flipped out.

There is also a slight amount of viscous and transparent liquid left on the skin.

He was naked, but Fu Jinghai looked down and saw that his hair had grown back.

It's about leg hair.

General Fu Jinghai will stand still, look down, and notice that something is wrong.

Master Quintor, who used to be short enough to reach his shoulders, is now even shorter, reaching only his upper abdomen.

Fu Jinghai's brain, which had been soaked in the culture liquid for a long time, barely turned.

This is...... Am I getting taller?

"Come out with me." Without waiting for Fu Jinghai to ask, Master Kunto turned around and left.

Fu Jinghai, who was naked, staggered to the workbench with Quintto.

"Sit." Quintor gestured to an iron box next to him.

Fu Jinghai sat down as he said.

The manipulator under Kunto's robe deftly pulled out some metal tubes from the workbench, and pasted the probes at the end of the tubes on the top of Fu Jinghai's head, chest, and back.

Fu Jinghai, who was sitting on the iron box, was also adjusting his breathing slightly, adapting to his new body.

He felt that his hearing had improved, his eyesight had become stronger, and the shadowless lights on the workbenches around him could not illuminate the dim corners, and he could see clearly when he looked closely.

He felt a little wrong again, and Fu Jinghai listened carefully...... He heard the heartbeat in his chest...... Something doesn't seem right.

A heart murmur? No, not a murmur...... Should be...... Be......

"It's good, both hearts are beating normally, no organ necrosis." Master Quinto's voice rang out beside him.

As he spoke, the technical priest picked up a small scalpel from the table and slashed deeply on Fu Jinghai's chest.

Blood poured out instantly, but what was exposed to the skin was not a red layer of muscle, but a black crust-like substance.

The blood only gushed out a little bit, and it began to clot rapidly, and after a few seconds, a small fresh blood scab formed.

Fu Jinghai looked down at all this.

I already have an understanding in my heart.

From now on.

He's not human anymore.

He is two-hearted and three-lung Astarte.

It is a sophisticated war machine, an elaborate killing tool.

…………

At this time, the frigate Stiletto, in the training cage.

Without the lower half of his body, he sat in a mechanical round wheelchair, holding a heavy long knife in each hand, wielding it vigorously.

In the face of weapons attacking from all directions, he could not move and dodge without his feet, and could only rely on two strong arms and weapons to block hard.

"Clanging, clanging, clanging!"

Wokotai used the strength of his waist and abdomen to quickly turn around, and the long knife in his hand flew into an afterimage, resisting the incoming weapons around him.

The powerful collision of metal against metal burst into clusters of sparks.

Suddenly, a metal spear stabbed from the lower left side of his back, and Wokotai couldn't dodge, and a piece of blood instantly rushed out of his waist.

"Ahh He screamed in pain, more like anger than pain.

Outside the training cage, Taral clasped his hands on his chest and silently watched the nest platform in the cage.

Being injured in a training cage is a disgrace for any long-standing Astarte veteran.

At this moment, a black mechanical skull floating in the air flew into the training module.

This is a servo skull.

The hollow eye socket of the skull flashed red light twice, and an indifferent electronic voice sounded:

"Lord Tharral, Lord Okodai, Master Kunto, please come to the laboratory."

Taral stopped the operation of the training cage in time, looked at the cage sweating profusely, bowed his head and gasped, and said:

"Wokotai, guess what, that kid has figured it out."

Wokotai, who was still in annoyance, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise: "The transformation was completed so quickly? ”
