Chapter 283 Deep Virtual Reality 110
"Don't worry."
Professor Lillian boarded the hovercar directly, while the ship behind her continued to speed along, as Moss was controlling it.
Xie Ning sat in the back seat and looked back. He saw a young man in a silver-white uniform standing on the deck. The swaying ship did not seem to shake him at all.
He was another assistant to Professor Lillian. A look of doubt flashed in Xie Ning's eyes. She could remember that the young man was Professor Lillian's assistant, but she had a very faint impression of him.
Whether it was his appearance or anything else, if the young man hadn't been the only one left on the ship this time, she wouldn't have remembered who he was, and now she doesn't even remember his name.
That's so strange, how could she be so forgetful?
"Why did you leave that assistant there alone?" Xie Ning asked.
Annika and Xiaoli also looked back, their eyes filled with confusion, as if they didn't remember this person, and neither did Jiang Teng.
Dr. Ji, who was sitting in the front, overheard their conversation and chuckled, "Are you talking about Night Shadow?"
"He is Lillian's assistant, an android who has awakened superpowers. Although we don't know what his specific superpowers are, people who have seen him will subconsciously forget about him."
He hasn't forgotten because of the suggestion he received in the therapy room.
“I see. He must be very capable, otherwise Professor Lillian wouldn’t have kept him on as well,” Annika said confidently.
"Hiss—" Xiao Li couldn't help but gasp, attracting everyone's attention.
"What's wrong?"
"The wound hurts a bit."
Xiao Li's face turned pale. He had actually been enduring the pain for a long time, but the wound was getting more and more painful, and he finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Xie Ning opened the simple first-aid kit in the car and gestured for Xiao Li to roll up his sleeves. "I'll change your dressing; the gauze is already red."
Some parts are also blackish.
When Xie Ning removed the gauze from Xiao Li's arm, Annika screamed in shock, "How could this be?"
Xiao Li's arm was covered in pits and bruises from corrosion, some of which had already festered. Xie Ning pulled down Xiao Li's collar and found that bluish-black lines had spread along his arm and all the way to Xiao Li's neck.
“I’m infected,” Jiang Teng said, looking in the rearview mirror.
"Do you have the corresponding medicine?"
“We only brought regular disinfectant. I already injected Xiaoli with it in the central ward, but now…” It was completely useless. Annika pursed her lips tightly.
"How much longer until we reach the island?" Xie Ning asked.
"Five minutes, but we won't stop. Instead, we'll drive all the way to the experimental base. If nothing unexpected happens, the journey will take about an hour."
Xie Ning nodded, put on gloves and disinfected the knife. "I'll scrape off the rotten flesh first, otherwise it might corrode your entire arm."
Xiao Li's hand trembled slightly, his lips quivering as he turned his head away. He wouldn't feel anything if this happened to someone else, but when the knife was on his own body, just thinking about it made his heart ache.
With the anesthetic, the pain won't be too bad, but the anesthetic effect will eventually wear off. Xie Ning looked at the bluish-black lines under Xiao Li's skin and his expression wasn't good. "I'll give you another injection of the cleansing agent. We'll have the doctor take a look at you when we get to the experimental base."
The infection spread too quickly, and there was no corresponding medication.
"Yes, yes, let the doctor see her. The doctor at the infirmary is very skilled! She'll definitely be fine!"
Xiao Li clutched a pen-like object tightly in her hand, and hope gradually filled her eyes as Annika spoke.
Xie Ning packed up the medical waste and gloves and threw them into the trash can inside the car.
"Energy entity detected ahead, danger level determined to be B. Route replanning in progress..."
As soon as Moss finished speaking, a huge, strange bird appeared in their line of sight, creating a hurricane that attacked the other hovercars traveling with them.
Xie Ning's head hit the seat in front of him. In his ears were Moss's cold electronic voice and the whooshing wind outside the car window, along with the hoarse chirping of birds that was loud and piercing.
"Emergency landing in progress, emergency landing in progress, please protect your vital organs."
