Chapter 391 Deep Virtual Reality 219
"Hello, please show me your identification."
This entire floor of wards has been sealed off, specifically for the treatment of security guards returning from the beach. For this one mother facility, many people have died and many have been injured.
Because of the nature of the wound, the hospital specially cleared a layer to treat the security guard.
Xie Ning showed his ID to the guard, and then Moss scanned it before he was allowed to enter.
The corridor was deserted, with only a few nurses and small automated guided vehicles coming and going. The other doctors and nurses were either in the wards or in the operating room.
Xie Ning bumped into the doctor making rounds when she arrived at Zhan Lin's ward.
Zhan Lin's arms and legs were fine, but a large patch of skin had peeled off her back, as if it had been forcibly torn off by something, which looked quite horrifying.
However, this kind of injury is also the easiest to treat; as long as you have money, it won't leave a single scar.
"How about it? Do you need me to arrange a sanatorium?" The sanatorium Xie Ning mentioned was certainly not an ordinary one. She was not short of money and could arrange better treatment than what the Security Bureau offered.
"No need, we still need to apply medicine. That stuff has stuck to it. Although the treatment pod can quickly repair damaged cells, it is difficult to clean it."
I just received an inhibitor injection, and I need to have surgery to remove it in an hour.
Xie Ning looked closely and indeed saw some black, spider-like things on Zhan Lin's back wound.
"The mother organism is completely dead, and the activity of these things will gradually decrease..."
Xie Ning listened attentively and gained a new understanding of some things about the maternal body. However, everything was settled. Besides visiting Zhan Lin, she came to the hospital to pick up some things.
Zhan Lin extracted a portion of the mother's body tissue, near the head. Although it's unknown whether it will be useful, it still has research value.
Xie Ning could only say that Zhan Lin was incredibly brave. "You rushed up just for this?"
A small black mass was jumping around inside a specially made glass bottle, and it was impossible to break it open. Clearly, it was not as strong as the mother body itself, and it was not even certain whether it was actually alive.
"No." Zhan Lin sighed.
"After seeing the message you left me, I was cautious and didn't go down. In the end... it was Zong Ren who saved my life."
Zhan Lin moved the mechanical arm. "I had just joined the team at the time, and Zong Ren was still my captain... If it weren't for Zong Ren, I would have lost more than just an arm in that accident."
Regardless, she saved Zong Ren, which was a way of repaying the favor. Even if she hadn't saved him, she would have done her best. If she had even lost herself in the process, then that would be her fate.
She never regrets the choices she makes.
Xie Ning pulled up a clip, which was taken by her small aircraft. Although it was a bit blurry, you could still make out the general idea.
"You were enveloped by the Matrix, what happened?"
She had already broken through the black mud at an extremely fast speed, but to be honest, Xie Ning was very surprised to see that Zhan Lin was completely unharmed except for the injuries she sustained while saving Zong Ren.
Speaking of this, Zhan Lin thought of that head again, and her heart clenched.
"Ning..." Zhan Lin swallowed hard. "I saw someone."
Um?
"Who is it?" Xie Ning asked, puzzled.
"Didn't the mother body have three heads?"
Xie Ning nodded. Actually, she had always thought there were only two heads, but it was barely acceptable to count the single large eye as a head, although the other part, which only had mouthparts and no eyes, didn't look like a head either.
Zhan Lin took a deep breath, ignoring the pain in her back, and propped herself up slightly, saying, "I saw the head that was covered by black hair. It was a human. Although its face was distorted beyond recognition and it had no hands or feet, anyone who is even slightly familiar with human anatomy can recognize that it was a human skull."
Moreover, it was still conscious. I thought I was going to die when I was pulled in, but now that I think about it, being enveloped in it felt more like being protected...
As the bullet annihilated the mother body, she didn't know whether to bless that person's release or lament its death.
Xie Ning paused for a moment. She couldn't figure it out either. After all, there were too many strange creatures, and the mutations of alien creatures were unpredictable.
However, she still made deductions and guesses based on Zhan Lin's words, "You suspect that it has two consciousnesses?"
"Yes! Not doubt, but certainty." Zhan Lin paused, her lips moving silently, "Did you turn on the jammer?"
"certainly."
When the two of them talked privately, it was easy for them to cross the line, so she would turn on the jammer in advance, since Moss was everywhere.
"That's good."
Zhan Lin relaxed and continued, "Didn't you say before that Norton Technologies does... human experimentation? Or with alien creatures? Do you think this one... could it have escaped from Norton Technologies?"
