Chapter 386
"Theo!" You Su shouted harshly.
Theo was frantically sending messages to the mecha Yuan, but all he received was a series of alarms, "No contact."
At the K-UYT015 energy point, layers of energy waves had already spread out, and the mechas that were affected by the shock waves within the defense system suffered varying degrees of damage. The border officers in the warships opened the berthing platforms of all the warships as soon as the shock waves stabilized.
The gigantic Tree of Life lost its balance, and its roots deeply embedded in the energy point were blown apart by five energy tanks at the same time. Its gigantic body fell into the deep water. Warships high above locked onto its body as it collapsed forward, and the small secondary charged bombs that had been prepared long ago fired at it at this moment!
"Everyone get on the warship immediately!" Luo Xu was guarding behind the other mechas, and he looked at the gradually collapsing 015 energy point under the light shield through the warship's defense system. The deep water on the 015 energy track that was petrified by the tree of life and rising continuously cracked along with the stone surface.
The Tree of Life had no ability to resist anymore and was forced to endure the bombardment of warships falling from great heights. The injured mecha soldiers had no time to look back at the Tree of Life. Everyone supported each other and rushed into the warship berth.
You Su dragged Ying Chenlin's mecha and rushed into the docking station amid the hail of bullets from the warship. The bloody smell in the cockpit seemed to overlap with the alarm coming from the communication channel. As soon as You Su and the mecha landed on the safe point of the docking station, he immediately opened the protective layer of the cockpit, and used the authority to connect with the mecha Yuan to forcibly open Ying Chenlin's cockpit from the outside.
As soon as the cockpit was opened, an even stronger smell of blood hit us.
You Su's breathing stagnated when he saw Ying Chenlin, who looked pale. "...Ying Chenlin?"
Huo Yan climbed into the cockpit behind You Su. His face changed drastically when he saw the situation inside: "Is the military doctor here? The military doctor——"
Half of Ying Chenlin's combat uniform in the cockpit was stained with blood, and it was unclear where he was injured. Alarms and bright red prompts of "mental abnormality" were heard on almost all the programming tables in the cockpit.
You Su stretched out his hand and pushed aside the disconnected empathy nerve in front of Ying Chenlin. His fingertips rested on the tip of his nose, and he felt the very faint rise and fall of his breathing. His heart tightened, and he immediately stayed rational and checked the alarm list on the program desk. He saw the alarm of heavy bleeding in the right arm in the life data of the mecha's self-detection.
"Don't scare me." You Su's voice trembled a little unintentionally. He avoided the injured part of Ying Chenlin and picked him up carefully.
The medical robot and the military doctor rushed over immediately and took the injured Ying Chenlin from You Su's hands.
"There are seriously injured people here!" The military doctor just took a look at the situation and immediately shouted to the back: "Injury from strong resonance, activate the highest medical room."
The other people from Shuguang rushed over in a hurry. All of them had injuries of varying degrees. Lin Yao was even carried on Ji Qingfeng's back. Both of them had confusion on their faces as they watched the smart stretcher carrying Ying Chenlin pass by them.
"Haven't they entered the defense range?" Qi Sicheng didn't expect Ying Chenlin to be injured so badly. "Is the mecha damaged?!"
"The mech wasn't fatally damaged, and he had no defense."
The military defense system blocked the fatal damage to the mecha pilots, but even if the resonance intensity of the shock wave was reduced, it was very likely to pass through the surface of the mecha and affect the mecha pilots sitting in the cockpit. Most mecha pilots would take defensive measures at the first moment, and the injuries were not too serious, but You Su just checked and found that all the empathetic nerves in the cockpit were broken, which meant that Ying Chenlin did not take defensive measures at the first moment.
It's okay if it's just a minor injury, the medical cabin can treat most injuries. You Su is worried that Ying Chenlin might have other problems.
No defense was taken. There was only one possibility: Ying Chenlin fell into a coma before the operation.
Huo Yan saw the blood on You Su's forehead and back, "You Su you——"
“Hey, hey, hey, you’re bleeding heavily!” Zhao Lejie came over and saw the wound on You Su’s back. He turned around and shouted, “Military doctor, there’s another seriously injured person here!!!”
As the two closest people, You Su and Ying Chenlin were the most seriously injured. You Su's back was completely soaked in blood.
The dock was filled with the smell of blood. The military doctors on the warship were all trying to rescue the wounded. The entire warship moved urgently. However, the situation outside the battlefield had not stopped. The warship continued to attack the collapsed tree of life on the 015 energy point. Luo Xu was injured in his left arm, but he still rushed to the command deck of the warship as soon as possible.
"What's the current situation?" Luo Xu asked.
"Other border brothers are rushing over to support the crack point on the front line!"
"The movement speed of Taino's cracks has slowed down. It should be related to us."
"We can still hold on here!"
The signal representing the Tree of Life on the programming table had gradually weakened, and the Tree of Life's body, which was expanding at an accelerated rate, seemed to be broken under the constant attacks. The energy originally absorbed by it mixed with petrified deep water flowed out, and continued to burn in the aftermath of the explosion, until the signal indicator of the Tree of Life completely disappeared on the warship's programming table.
"We succeeded... Major General!" The adjutant was still a little dazed when he saw the signal disappear, "The energy reaction of the Tree of Life is gone."
Luo Xu held his hands tightly on the programming table, and kept looking for Kronos in the exploding images: "No, don't stop attacking, Kronos is gone!"
In such a close-range explosion, the Tree of Life was uprooted, and it was impossible for Kronos to be completely unscathed.
Another officer said, "Our explosion did not affect the defense systems of other energy nodes. Other soldiers should activate their defenses as much as possible. The gravity system has been turned on again. Our support will arrive in half an hour."
The adjutant knew that now was not the time to relax. They should seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and lock onto Kronos' position before Kronos completely pulled out the K-UYT track. "We will adopt a front-line defense and have all warships scan for Kronos's traces without blind spots!"
Luo Xu was so tense that he dared not relax. Only after making sure that all subsequent pursuits were successfully carried out did he dare to retreat from the programming table. The medical soldier who had been waiting for a long time hurried forward to bandage Luo Xu's wound.
"What's the situation of the others?" Luo Xu asked the other mecha pilots who entered the docking station.
"Most of them are lightly injured, and medical assistance has been arranged." The medic said, "But there are still a dozen seriously injured. All the military doctors are now there. Some of them are in very bad condition."
Luo Xu paused.
The adjutant received the news at this time, and he stepped forward and said, "Major General, our target is also among the seriously injured."
You Su and Ying Chen Lin! ?
"Which medical room is the person in?!" When Luo Xu heard this, he had no intention of staying here to bandage the wound. He immediately contacted and inquired about the situation. Only then did he know that You Su's injuries were only superficial, and Ying Chenlin was in a coma, and his mental state was extremely abnormal.
At this time, a border soldier nearby received the notice and hurriedly stopped Luo Xu who was about to go to the medical room.
"Major General! Urgent communication from Commander Wei!"
-*
In the warship's medical room, several military doctors stood beside the treatment bed, cleaning the body of the injured mecha pilot. The reason for the bleeding was that the mecha pilot did not have time to deploy the resonance defense inside the cockpit. Some equipment in the cockpit was damaged by the shock wave resonance, and the cockpit operating lever broke and cut the right side of the mecha pilot, resulting in such a large amount of bleeding. This work is by
"The debris in the tissue has been removed."
"The bleeding has stopped."
…
Bleeding is a minor problem, but the problem is that the mental power of this mecha pilot is in a highly active state. This state is not like the mental power deficiency syndrome when it is exhausted, but his mental power peak has been maintained at 7100, which is higher than the usual mental power peak of the mecha pilot, which is abnormally high.
In many cases of border rescue, the situation like this mecha master seemed to be affected by some kind of pollution interference, so they immediately injected anti-interference serum into the mecha master, but it did not alleviate the abnormality of the mecha master at all. Bleeding and skin injuries can be treated, but this kind of weird mental state has never been seen before.
The mecha pilot even developed a high fever due to his abnormal mental strength.
"We have tried the S-level anti-pollution agent." A military doctor nearby said, "It hasn't been relieved yet."
"Continue to find ways to reduce his mental activity. If anti-pollution agents don't work, use tranquilizers."
"Strange, why is it so active!?"
"Does this mecha pilot have a medical history like this before?"
The old military doctor looked at the mechanical arm on the mecha master's right arm, carefully checked the details on the upper part of the mechanical arm, and checked the patient's medical records that had been sent over not long ago. There was a bit of scrutiny in his cloudy eyes. In this situation, it was not suitable to continue staying on the front line.
On the new patient's medical record, the level of contaminant markers in the patient's genetic disease infection speculation was 'Super S'.
The old military doctor had seen many soldiers infected with genes, as well as border soldiers with genetic diseases. He had dealt with such on-the-spot situations many times, but this was the first time he had seen a patient whose genetic infection source was super S-level.
There are very few border troops who can come into close contact with super S-level pollutants, and even if they have seen it, only a few can come back alive.
He didn't know what this young-looking man had experienced, but judging from the reports specially sent by Major General Luo and even the commander-in-chief of the Supreme Command Post, this young man's experience was crucial.
"Teacher!" a military doctor shouted, "The tranquilizer is taking effect!"
"My mental strength has stabilized, it's currently at 7000!"
“There’s no way to go down.”
“I’ve never seen anything like it.”
The doctor who sent the medical records was the young man's attending physician. According to him, the young man had experienced this kind of suspected surge before, but his consciousness was very clear at the time and was in a benign state. He would not be in a deep coma like he is now.
The old military doctor looked at the pale young man lying on the hospital bed, his eyes fixed on the brain test next to him. The young man's stable mental power range before the accident was 6400, and now it soared to 7100, and then dropped to 7000. It was as if he was stimulated by something at close range, which caused it to suddenly soar to this level.
The reason why he fell into a deep coma was most likely because the mecha pilot's brain could not withstand the high-intensity leap, which caused the body to produce a self-defense mechanism, but this young man must have been stimulated to cause such a result.
Outside the medical room, almost everyone in Shuguang
Here, several people who were more seriously injured have come out of the medical cabin, and the old wound on You Su's back has been bandaged. All the mecha technicians in the silent corridor were silent, some were squatting, and some were sitting on the ground, all waiting for the latest news from the medical room.
The running border troops conveyed the latest news that the follow-up support of the border troops has arrived, the cracks of the Taino pollutant moving in space have been blocked, and the entire K-UYT orbit will be completely blocked in 60 minutes. This will become the first battlefield for pursuing the pollutant Kronos.
When the Dawn Mecha Warriors heard that Kronos was not dead yet, their eyes widened.
"Is Kronos an indestructible cockroach?"
"The Tree of Life was so big that it was blown up, but it actually ran away!?"
"Slared's heavy weapons couldn't kill him, but ours can't be killed."
"It's not that easy to catch it." Huo Yan was silent for a while before saying, "But we have to trust the Border Army. Now we have much more information about Kronos than before. The Border Army may have a solution."
The wounded were sent to various treatment rooms on the warship one after another. You Su was only wearing a coat, and the wound on his back had not been treated in the medical cabin yet. A little red blood stain appeared faintly on the bandage. He did not move, holding two mecha keys in his hands, one for Theo, and the other for Mecha Yuan that Ying Chenlin had not had time to put away.
Kronos was not so easy to die. Their attack this time only solved the Tree of Life and bought the Border Army time to control the orbit of K-UYT. The final moment of dealing with the Tree of Life kept emerging in You Su's mind. He felt a strong pressure from behind, exactly the same as what he saw in the contaminated area on the border that year.
The pollutant that controls time, You Su has seen its move before, using the sickle blade it drives up as a weapon to control its own time flow and attack enemies at close range. At that time, those invisible attacks that looked like wind blades were attacks from Kronos outside the time flow field.
From the perspective of priority at that time, if Kronos was going to take action, it would definitely be against the border troops who were in a higher position and posed a greater threat. At that time, its attack was obviously directed at Ying Chenlin. It did not attack with all its strength, otherwise he and Ying Chenlin would have died there and would not have had a chance to escape from it.
At this time, the tightly closed door of the medical room opened and everyone hurried over.
Huo Yan asked anxiously: "How is it?"
"The injuries on his body have been treated, so there's no major problem." The old military doctor explained, "The key is that he is still in a deep coma. The resources on the front line are limited, so we need to send him to a well-equipped place for observation as soon as possible."
Ying Chenlin was still running a fever, with the medical monitor showing a high temperature. The crack on his side caused by the operating lever had been bandaged, and he was resting with his eyes closed, wrapped in a bandage. The examination bed was pushed to the intensive care unit. You Su watched the old military doctor say a few words to other people after the communication, and then walked out in a hurry.
"Huo Yan." You Su said to Huo Yan in a low voice.
Huo Yan nodded, "I'll watch, you go first."
The old military doctor left the medical corridor and headed for the warship's command room, holding a data tablet that recorded medical records in his hand. As soon as he arrived and opened the door, he saw several people sitting in the warship's command room, including the warship's commander, Major General Luo, and Commander Wei Changyang who had just arrived at the K-UYT site. In front of them was a virtual screen, and on the other side of the virtual screen stood a man in his thirties.
Seeing someone coming in, Luo Xu waved at him. Just when the old military doctor wanted to close the door, a hand blocked the door of the command room that was about to close. To the shock of the old military doctor, You Su went straight into the command room.
"You Su! You!" Luo Xu's face changed slightly when he saw the person coming. "Can anyone come to the command room casually?"
You Su: "As a family member, I have the right to listen."
"Who do you think you are--" Family member!
Before Luo Xu finished speaking, he saw Shi Qingning on the other side of the virtual screen. His uncle didn't say anything here, so why are you showing up as a family member?
You Su looked at the old military doctor, then at the others: "You guys talk about business and I'll take the patient away. There's no need to avoid me when talking about the patient's condition."
"Or, you can let someone talk to me first, and then come in to talk to you?" He pointed at the old military doctor, as if if he was rejected in the next second, he would "ask" the old military doctor to leave in front of several people.
The old military doctor shuddered and said, "What are you doing, young man?"
Wei Changyang looked at the face in front of him that looked somewhat similar to Lin Yi and You Yuying, and thought of the words You Sufa said before the K-UYT track accident, so he stopped Luo Xu, "It's okay, let him stay here, there is more than one family member."
Luo Xu paused, then looked at the other side of the virtual screen, where the camera scanned Ying Chenlin's attending physician.
Next to the attending doctor Eric was a woman dressed in dashing clothes. The woman had a scar between her eyebrows and a sullen expression, a face that Luo Xu often saw when he read the KID mecha competition news.
Shen Xingtang, the female boss of KID base.
Shen Xingtang and You Su glanced at each other across the virtual screen, and both sides knew each other's intentions.
Shi Qingning knew that this matter could not be concealed.
It was not an easy task to take KID's doctor Eric away in front of Shen Xingtang. When Eric tried to leave with the border army, Shen Xingtang had already followed him. This matter concerned KID and Ying Chenlin. As a representative of KID's family, she would not miss any relevant information.
The command room was very quiet. The old military doctor walked forward and presented all the reports of Ying Chenlin's recent examination on the data board. Shi Qingning received the latest report on Ying Chenlin's condition from Dr. Eric, Ying Chenlin's preoperative pathology report, Shi Xuejun's pre-operative pathology report, and other data were spread out in front of everyone.
"I checked. In the preoperative report of Ying Chenlin's genetic disease, there is indeed an infection source with the marker data S." Seeing that everyone was listening, Dr. Eric simply explained the matter: "This data is consistent with Shi Xuejun. It is preliminarily determined that the cause of Ying Chenlin's genetic disease is the genetic infection source that caused the death of the mother Shi Xuejun, which is what you call the super S-level pollutant Kronos."
When this was mentioned, people on both sides of the virtual screen fell silent.
"We have contacted the border troops. When Shi Xuejun developed a genetic disease, she immediately chose embryo culture, which actually slowed down the time Ying Chenlin was infected. This also explains why he had such a long incubation period and only showed mild symptoms at the age of 18." Doctor Eric explained: "Shi Xuejun must have realized the problem with Kronos later."
Shi Xuejun's genetic infection is a little different from Ying Chenlin's genetic disease. Shi Xuejun was infected by Kronos 30 years ago, and did not show any symptoms of infection in the following years. It was not until he was infected by other pollutants during the Koria riots that all the symptoms were triggered. So based on this, they suspected that the source of infection for this special individual, Kronos, had a latent period.
This incubation period will grow rapidly in the human body as time goes by, and will eventually accumulate and explode.
Shi Xuejun's incubation period was nearly 9 years. As Shi Xuejun's child, Ying Chenlin's incubation period was as long as 18 years.
This is related to the fact that Kronos is a time-manipulating pollutant that is difficult to explain with common sense. It is very likely that Shi Xuejun was not simply infected back then, but was in close contact with something related to the core of Kronos. The infection was latent and broke out after reaching a certain point in time.
For this reason, Dr. Eric has been studying relevant information a lot during this period, because there has never been a super S-level infection source in the records of the Star Alliance. People who have encountered super S-level pollutants have basically died, and there are no medical records left until now.
"There are very few medical records of this kind, but I found a rare one from the archives."
Doctor Eric showed the data, which showed a case of a young researcher. "There is a special case in the Star Alliance records. A researcher from a research institute was infected due to contact with pollutants. After recovery, he became infected again. Later, the cause was found. It is suspected that the source of the pollution that infected him evolved from A-level to S-level in the culture instrument, which affected him."%
At this point, everyone present understood one thing: when Shi Xuejun was in the Fifth Star Domain Border Research Institute, she must have come into contact with core information related to Kronos, or in other words, her contact with Kronos was closer than anyone else.
"But his case is extremely rare. The reason is that he came into contact with brain tissue from pollutants and was infected by related tissue cells. There are only two such cases in the Star Alliance. Some scholars call this situation homologous infection resonance. This kind of resonance is basically malignant and will repeatedly stimulate the infected person, causing the infected person to get sick multiple times."
After reading the report submitted by the old military doctor, Dr. Eric thought of the situation that Ying Chenlin had in the Star Alliance Tournament and Kronos's behavior against Ying Chenlin not long ago. "But my patient's situation is special. If his situation is also a resonance with the pollutant Kronos, then it is very likely that he is the only super S-level resonance case at present. Kronos's growth will form a kind of passive feedback in his body."
The Covenant knew very little about Chronos, this super S-class pollutant that controlled the time dimension. This was the only time Ying Chenlin had been close to Chronos. If there was really a resonance, it meant that it had reached the level of super S-class pollutants, similar to the mental condition that was common among citizens. This infectious resonance could transcend spatial distance and formed the current situation from some inexplicable dimension.
"Can you put it in a simpler way?" Luo Xu asked.
Doctor Eric said, "You can understand it this way. When infected, a seed is left in the human body. The growth of this seed is related to Kronos. As Kronos becomes stronger, once this infectious factor is in sync with Kronos, even if the human body is cured, it will deteriorate inexplicably, thus providing passive feedback to the human body... In other words, Ying Chenlin was affected by Kronos and resonated with its energy fluctuations."
According to the doctor's records, after a human body is genetically infected, the main infection point will form a lesion, which will spread from the lesion as the core point. Ying Chenlin would choose to remove the genetic lesion as soon as it appears, delaying the onset of the genetic disease. However, if Kronos continues to grow, the infected body itself will form a lesion again as its body fluctuates.
"What would have happened if he hadn't had the surgery when he was 18?" You Su suddenly asked.
"He will enter a stage of rapid deterioration, just like Shi Xuejun." Doctor Eric explained, "But he has not been exposed to the infection for a long time, and he has a very strong double S physique. The deterioration time will not be as fast as Shi Xuejun's death, so there is room for buffer."
As for what the final result of super S-level resonance will be, the doctor cannot explain it.
Because other medical records cannot be compared with Ying Chenlin's. There is no super S-level at all. Most cases are repeatedly deteriorating and finally lead to death.
What's more, from the current perspective, the influence between Ying Chenlin and Kronos cannot be explained by common sense, because Ying Chenlin's condition is getting better and there is no gradual deterioration. On the contrary, his mental strength is gradually increasing under this stimulation. This is most likely related to the choice of surgery, which leads to the fact that there are not many infectious factors that can resonate between the two.
So now, they have no way to explain what Ying Chenlin’s situation is, but one thing is certain, Kronos will have an impact on Ying Chenlin.
"For the specific situation, we still have to continue analyzing the information left by Shi Xuejun and observe Ying Chenlin's condition." Doctor Eric was also confused and could only take one step at a time. "Now we can only observe and see if Ying Chenlin will wake up and what his condition will be like after waking up..."
Before they finished their conversation, new instructions came in from outside. The progress of the pursuit of Kronos was not pleasant, and problems occurred frequently on the front line. The border troops' orders continued, and Wei Changyang didn't have time to stay here for too long. After he confirmed the doctor's explanation, his face darkened: "Luo Xu, leave the situation here to us. You have a new mission."
Luo Xu stood up straight.
"The K-UYT orbit will be blocked. The second and fourth star fields are currently war zones. The internal jump orbits will be blocked.
Lock. "Wei Changyang continued: "You escort all the wounded on the front line, as well as Ying Chenlin. ”
"Go to the Coria contaminated area of the Dawn System in the First Star Region."
After issuing the order, Wei Changyang nodded to Shi Qingning and quickly followed the soldiers out.
Luo Xu confirmed the order and began to mobilize troops. Seeing You Su still stopped where he was, he urged him, "Let's go. Don't stay here."
The virtual channel between the two places was about to be closed. As You Su was walking out of the command room, he suddenly stopped and looked back at Doctor Eric. "Eric, I want to confirm a question with you. Is there no possibility of curing this disease?"
Luo Xu stopped and looked back at You Su.
Eric paused, but did not hang up the phone immediately: "Not really, if there is no infection source..."
You Su got the answer he wanted: "I understand, thank you."
The author has something to say:
