Squeak –

Lu Xun opened the door lightly and crept in, he slowed his steps lightly, trying not to disturb his family's rest.

Suddenly, the lights snapped on.

Lu Xun and a beautiful woman stared at each other and were arrested.

"Well, aunt, you haven't slept yet? It's two o'clock in the morning. He scratched his head and laughed.

This person is his aunt Jiang Jingfei, the most gentle and virtuous woman in the world.

"After the meal is hot, put it on the table, and when it's cold, I won't see you come back, so I'll heat it again."

She poked her nephew's chest with her fingers, deliberately stretched her face, and said with a little disgust: "Although you are young, you can't stay up late frequently, your body will collapse." ”

"Well, I'll take notice." Lu Xun nodded and explained, "I had a major operation today, and I talked to people about some things after the operation, so I went home late." ”

Hearing this, a touch of distress and self-blame flashed in my aunt's eyes.

If it weren't for her lack of ability, why would she let a minor child become the pillar of the family?

The medical expenditure of more than 200,000 yuan per month made the nephew lose his youth.

A middle school student is busier and harder than most adults.

From the age of fourteen, the nephew became a social animal......

This weight is not something he should bear at his age.

In fact, she has thought ruthlessly many times about unplugging her husband's oxygen tube, so that he can be freed, and it will not make her and her nephew so hard.

With an expense of 200,000 yuan per month, some elite families can't afford it!

As a civilian family, direct extubation is the most sensible.

But considering her daughter, she didn't have to do it after all.

She was sad in her heart, but her emotions were well controlled, and she did not show it on her face, but showed a gentle smile, and said softly to her nephew:

"You kid must be hungry, don't stand stupidly, go over and eat."

"Okay."

Lu Xun had actually smelled the fragrance a long time ago, and he was already salivating.

My aunt's cooking skills are not covered, and she can always cook simple ingredients into delicious human taste!

He walked briskly to the table and sat down.

Three dishes and one soup on the table: sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried pork with green peppers, tomato and egg soup, cold cucumber.

And a few small plates of pickles.

He filled a bowl of rice and began to devour it.

It's so delicious!

In particular, this tomato and egg soup is extremely fragrant and moderately salty.

After pouring it in one bite, I feel that my bones are crispy, and this dish is not too tired from snacks to most of them.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." When his aunt saw that he was ugly, she couldn't help but quip: "Your sister is dreaming, and no one is robbing you." ”

"That's not easy to say, Xiaoyu's nose is smarter than a dog, what if she wakes up when she smells the fragrance?" Lu Xun smiled.

Aunt can't help but laugh, Xiaoyu's girl is really greedy.

"You go and rest, I'll clean up after eating." Lu Xun said to her while eating, "You still have to get up early." ”

"It's not bad for a while, it's okay, I'll clean it up." My aunt waved her hand.

Looked at.

He didn't say much more, and ate quietly.

After eating and drinking, Lu Xun wanted to help wash the dishes, but his aunt kicked him out of the kitchen on the grounds of "this is my territory, and Hugh has to trespass".

"Okay, okay, you are in charge of your territory, by the way, aunt, this is for you."

Lu Xun smiled, and while his aunt was washing the dishes, he quickly stuffed things into the pocket of her jacket: "I'm so sleepy, go to sleep, good night." ”

Then he disappeared.

"Stinky boy, I really hurt you in vain when I was a child, and you actually played tricks on me?"

My aunt reluctantly took off the towel to dry the water stains and foam on her hands, and stretched it out into her pocket, and then she was stunned, and her eyes became complicated.

For a long time, she sighed faintly.

Silent, he continued to wash the dishes.

……

The door opened.

The strong smell of medicine mixed with the stench of rotting corpses came to my face, and the smell was too smoky to describe in words.

But Lu Xun has long been used to it.

There are devices in the room.

On a fully mechanical hospital bed, a man resembling a dried corpse, with tubes connected to his body.

The body was wrapped in bandages like a rice dumpling, and there was pitch-black pus soaked through the bandages and oozing out.

If it weren't for the fact that the device's display showed that he still had a heartbeat, no one would believe that this was actually a living person?!

He is the source of the stench.

Xie Zhenhai, Lu Xun's maternal uncle.

A man who had treated him very well.

Now it has become such a person who is not a person, a ghost is not a ghost.

Zhenhai Xie is a very good neural network engineer.

Originally, with his ability, it was not difficult to be promoted to the elite before the age of 40.

It's a pity that God is not beautiful.

A few years ago, he answered the call and joined a rift pioneer operation organized by the high-level of Jinghai City.

The scale of that official reclamation team is very large, and the lineup is luxurious.

Equipped with high-end mechs, power armor, and a variety of heavy weapons.

As a logistics technician who didn't need to fight, Xie Zhenhai didn't expect that he would end up like this.

There were more than 600 people when I went, and the convoy was lined up like a long line.

Only a quarter of the way back......

Fissures are a natural phenomenon that science still can't explain.

They are different spaces that appear with the intersection of the celestial spheres, and are made up of a mixture of various wonders and visions.

There are all kinds of precious otherworldly resources in the rifts, and they are full of many magical things.

It is thanks to these things that human technology has been able to advance by leaps and bounds, breaking through the upper limit again and again.

New materials, new energy, new life forms...... Bringing a new future!

The development potential of a self-circulating city needs to be evaluated by combining many factors, but the "rift resource" must be the decisive factor, because it directly determines the upper limit of development.

If the city wants to develop, exploring the cracks is an unavoidable step.

The problem is that the rift is not a free gift, it contains great terror.

People need to pave the way with their bones at the cost of their lives.

Xie Zhenhai was bitten by an evil creature called "Medusa" in the rift.

The mysterious toxin spreads throughout the body, causing body tissues to rapidly fester, cells to dissolve, bones to liquefy, and skin to peel off piece by piece......

If it weren't for the timely intervention of medical personnel, he would have turned into a pool of blood on the spot.

Although he barely survived a life, a large area of nerves throughout his body had died.

Xie Zhenhai became a waste, and all the muscles in his body lost contact with him.

He is unable to eat, excrete, breathe, or speak on his own...... Can't even blink an eye.

It needs to rely on machinery and equipment to survive.

There is no antidote to Medusa's poison.

It can only be inhibited with drugs to slow down the rate of cell lysis.

Once the drug is stopped, it will still become a puddle...

Lu Xun had never seen such a miserable person in his previous life and in this life.

The key is that this person is still his uncle, or "adoptive father".

There is only one way to save Xie Zhenhai.

That's the prosthetic modification!

And it's not the concept of implanting one or two.

Instead, all other body parts except a part of the brain are replaced with artificial prostheses!

His body, except for his brain, has completely fused with Medusa's toxin, like a maggot on the tarsal bone, inseparable.

He can only survive as a fully modified person.

Lu Xun once calculated an account.

The cheapest complete modification costs more than 60 million dollars.

But for this family, the monthly hanging fee of 200,000 yuan cannot be afforded.

So Lu Xun went to the black clinic at the age of 14.

His original plan was to save his uncle's life first.

Let's talk about it after 60 million, there is always hope for life!

Of course, the golden finger of the "omniscient right hand" also gave him the courage and self-confidence to provoke the pillars of the family.

"Didi—"

Suddenly, the instrument rang twice, and the electronic screen on the side suddenly lit up.

The device is connected to my uncle's brain and can automatically capture brain waves.

A line of italicized characters slowly typed on the screen -

[Is it Xiao Lu? Tsk, it's really you. Wipe the camera for me, it's dusty and I can't see clearly. 】

"It's me, sorry to disturb your rest." Lu Xun said softly.

[It's okay, what's this, the last thing I lack is rest, haha. 】

"There's something I want to talk to you about, but I don't know where to start." Lu Xun reached out to help him wipe the camera, looking slightly hesitant.

[You can talk as much as you want, we are a family.] If you want to speak, I'll listen. 】

Lu Xun was silent for a while, and suddenly asked, "Uncle, are you tired?" ”

[Huh? How could I be tired? You don't have to do anything when you lie down every day. When you're bored, listen to music and read an e-book, it's a good time to relax, right? ——This sentence popped up on the monitor, and at the end it was accompanied by the emoji of [proud].

In fact, Lu Xun wanted to ask him if he was tired of living? Tired? Can you continue to persevere?

"If only you weren't tired." Lu Xun nodded and said with a smile: "Wait a little longer, wait for another four years at most, and you will be able to get a brand new body and stand up again." ”

In fact, the monthly hanging fee of 200,000 yuan is also fine.

After all, prosthetic doctors are a profiteering industry!

And the better the technology, the more you earn!

Lu Xun's pressure is not too big, and he even has room to take care of his aunt and Xiaoyu.

But if you want to cure your uncle completely, you need to completely transform your body, otherwise he will always be a waste person who can only show his presence through the subtitles on the monitor.

Earn 60 million in four years.

It's hard to imagine that this was uttered by a civilian middle school student.

But Lu Xun has this confidence.

Because he's almost an adult.

As an adult, there are so many areas for him to make a difference.

With the help of the golden finger of the "omniscient right hand", it will be very simple for him to make money.

Prosthetic Doctor, Appraiser, Mecha Pilot, Mechanic...... You can do whatever you want, you can do it all.

Even relying on the value that Lu Xun alone creates to the society, the whole family can be promoted to the elite class and move to the inner city!

[Four years?] I understand. Don't worry, the doctor said that as long as I don't take medicine, my life will last at least ten years, and I can afford to wait for four years, hahaha. 】

"Well, the hope is big and it's close. It's good that you know this, our family is with you, don't give up. Lu Xun stood up from the chair, waved his hand at the camera and said, "You continue to rest, good night, uncle." ”

[Good night. 】

The monitor went out and was turned off by Xie Zhenhai.

Lu Xun walked out of the ward and gently closed the door.

After he left, in the dark room.

The monitor suddenly lit up again, and there seemed to be mumbling words-

【… What about you? Are you tired? 】
