Chapter 26 Xu An "I wish you a peaceful life and everything goes well"...
On that day in the year 198 of the New Era, there was also a rainstorm. The rolling dark clouds made it impossible to distinguish between day and night. On the edge of the human habitat on the ground, there stood an experimental base.
Eleven-year-old Yin Xiangrong was quickly adjusting the data on the computer. When lightning flashed, the sound of a door opening was heard.
"Yin Shu, you're back." Yin Xiangrong didn't look up. "There's a small problem with the data of the new batch of bionic people. Come and take a look..."
She turned around and saw Yin Shu walking in, her hair soaked and clinging to her face, outlining a scratch. In her arms was a girl covered in blood.
Yin Xiangrong put down the computer: "Yin Shu, who is she?"
As she spoke, she quickly helped the girl onto a stool, raised the temperature in the room, and found some dry clothes to put on Yin Shu.
"On the way back, I saw a cloud of blood mist on the side of the road and found her in it." Yin Shu covered his face and coughed. His face was a little pale, and his white research suit was stained with large patches of blood.
"First, put her in ability-suppressing handcuffs and a bite guard, then place her in the observation room."
Hearing this, Yin Xiangrong looked at the girl with a more complicated expression. She looked young, only about eighteen or nineteen, but her face, hands, and back were covered in sticky blood. Her long hair was tangled and frizzy, some of it even blending into the wounds.
Yin Xiangrong frowned: "Yin Shu, can you check her injuries first?"
Yin Shu held her hand and shook his head. "I'll go check on her later. Put her in the observation room first and give her another shot of anesthetic."
Yin Xiangrong did as he was told. Soon, Yin Shu changed her clothes, tied her hair, and entered the observation room with a treatment box.
Because of the bloodstains, the entire observation room was filled with a strong smell of blood and a faint smell of disinfectant.
Yin Shu carefully parted the girl's long hair, revealing her neck.
This area was already red and swollen, covered with dense scratches and pinholes, and the words "Subject 0302" were clearly written next to it.
Yin Shu frowned slightly. She had no idea where this girl came from at first, thinking she was just an ordinary experimental subject. Then, seeing her dying in the rain, clutching at her trouser legs, she felt sorry for her and brought her back.
But 03, if she remembered correctly, was the beginning of the military's top secret code.
The blood was flowing and soaking the soles of her shoes. Yin Shu didn't have time to think about it. He quickly cleaned and disinfected her wound before applying medicine.
Every time the medicine touched her, she could feel the girl beneath her trembling slightly and making barely perceptible groans.
This body was surprisingly covered in scars. Some were from sharp weapons, some were from needle wounds, and some were from alien creatures. Her chest was practically pierced through, and amidst the bloody mess, one could faintly see the white bones.
This wasn't the worst of it. A large area of her back was burned, the flesh on her right shoulder blade had been burned away, and two small lumps protruded from the inside of her shoulder blades.
Yin Shu frowned and took the cleaning agent. Just as he was about to apply it, he suddenly saw two holes in his sight.
She lowered her eyes and saw that 0302 had open, red and swollen eyes without eyeballs, and inside, yellow-white secretions were overflowing from the eye sockets and hanging on the face.
Yin Shu took a breath.
Hadn't she been given an anesthetic injection? How did she wake up?!
Yin Shu moved with a startling urgency. She tried to keep her movements small to avoid irritating 0302. 0302, however, touched the bite guard on his face in confusion.
"What is this?" asked 0302.
Her voice was hoarse, as if she hadn't spoken in years, and her pronunciation was a little unstandard.
Yin Shu tried to calm himself down and answered her as naturally as possible: "This is a bite guard."
0302 tilted his head. "What's a bite guard?"
Yin Shu: “…”
"This is very uncomfortable to wear." 0302 didn't wait for her to answer, "Can you help me take it off?"
Yin Shu naturally didn't dare to take it. But she also didn't dare to directly say that she was trying to prevent the experimental subject from attacking others. So she took a deep breath and said slowly, "I'm treating your injuries. You can't take it off until you're healed."
"Heal the wound..." It seemed that her words had taken effect. 0302 just repeated the sentence softly and asked softly: "My eyes are damaged. Can you help me heal my eyes?"
"Then you have to be good so that I can treat you faster." Yin Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
0302 moved her ears and heard the sound of handcuffs breaking. She calmly rubbed her burnt wrists, got off the bed, and squatted in front of Yin Shu.
Yin Shu felt that it was too early to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Why are you so nervous?" 0302 leaned closer to her, his nose twitching. "You smell like fear. But I just cooperated with you and let you lock me up. I also closed my eyes and lay there while you cleaned me. Isn't that obedient?"
"You said I can't take the bite guard off, so I won't take it off, but these handcuffs hurt so much." She stretched out her hands, scarlet blood marks on her wrists. "It hurts so much, I'm not being naughty."
She whispered, "Don't be afraid of me. I hate it most when others are afraid of me."
Yin Shu swallowed and stood up tremblingly.
"You..." Her lips were trembling. "Can you please stay here for a while? I'll go see if I can... treat your eyes?"
0302 sat back somewhat disappointed.
Seeing that 0302 had no intention of attacking, Yin Shu quickly left the observation room and instantly collapsed to the ground. Her legs were shaking and her face was covered in cold sweat.
Let's not even talk about how she woke up after being injected with anesthesia. Just think about those handcuffs. They could suppress your ability awakening by 50%. Add to that the observation room, which could suppress it by 20%. Even a pure alien would be helpless if they were trapped inside. How did she break free?! What the hell is she?!
"Yin Shu, are you okay?" Yin Xiangrong hurried over to help her up.
"It's okay." Yin Shu leaned against the wall, breathing heavily. She didn't intend to tell Yin Xiangrong about the number 0302. She just patted her hands and said calmly, "She's not an ordinary test subject. Xiangrong, go check the latest batch of military bionic humans to see if there are any missing models."
After Yin Xiangrong walked away, she looked back and found that in the one-way glass observation room, 0302 was wandering around leisurely. Even though the wounds on her body were bleeding because of her movements, it could not stop her from moving at all.
Soon, the model of the lost military bionic man was found.
The laboratory where a android research team under her leadership was located exploded.
The military had reported that a few hours earlier, due to the approaching full moon and the surge in bromine mist concentration, a military android whose awakening value exceeded 55% experienced an unexpected power failure. All the data contained within was destroyed, and the remaining androids in the laboratory, along with all the researchers, were blown to pieces.
Yin Shu's heart trembled.
What a coincidence! Just after she found 0302, she heard the news of the laboratory bombing. She even suspected that someone was deliberately covering it up.
As he was thinking, a photo popped up when the chip exploded. The strong superpower collided with the bromine mist, and the entire laboratory was dyed with colorful superpower colors.
She suddenly realized that in the rainstorm, it was not a cloud of blood mist, but the blood-colored supernatural power overflowing from 0302's fingertips.
However, superpowers often attract surrounding alien species to approach, while her superpowers will make the surrounding alien species avoid her.
Initially, Yin Shu simply believed that 0302's ability contained a special factor that caused aliens to reject her, which was why she wouldn't get close to her. She even started researching 0302's ability because of this, trying to figure out how to modify the currently awakened abilities of humans based on her.
But then, standing atop a lighthouse in a city above ground, the aliens swarmed below her, their screams incessant, and the deafening roar of takeoff from the base in front of her ripped her hair. Only then did Yin Shu realize that it wasn't a special factor within her ability, but rather that 0302 was simply too powerful, so powerful that even unconscious gnats would flee hastily at the mere whiff of her power.
But that’s all in the past. Ever since 0302 came to the laboratory, the boring lives of Yin’s mother and daughter have finally become a little more interesting.
Although 0302's overly powerful abilities and uncertain bionic model always frightened them, 0302 was extremely well-behaved.
She always carefully retracted her claws, tilting her head in confusion as she watched Yin Shu and her daughter bustle about. Whenever she completed an experiment and received praise, she would rub her furry head against Yin Shu's neck, especially after Yin Shu installed the mechanical prosthetic eye.
The long-lost light came into view. The first thing 0302 saw when he opened his eyes was not a sea of blood and corpses, nor various needles and instruments, but two concerned eyes, and three dishes and a soup.
It was on that day that she got a name - Xu An.
Yin Shu took it and said that if there were gods in the world, they would grant her a peaceful life and everything would go well.
At that time, Xu An didn't understand. He just blinked his mechanical prosthetic eyes, which he was not yet used to, and let Yin Xiangrong rub his head at will.
"So Xu An is a bionic man?!" Xie Shuqin was a little shocked. "The bionic men on the ground have developed so well? Aside from his terrifying fighting ability, Xu An is exactly like a human in every other way."
"When I was five, home-use bionic humans were being widely marketed, and judging by all indicators, Xu An very much met the ideal military bionic model," Yin Xiangrong recalled. "Although all the information has been destroyed, I still remember some of it. Xu An had a 50% awakening value for his superpowers, and he could perfectly suppress it to 30%, preventing the bromine mist concentration from becoming uncontrollable..."
"Also, she has a very low pain sensitivity, maintaining her combat effectiveness even in the face of fatal damage. She's also naturally adept at using [Dissolver], so the lab doesn't have to worry about her dying during missions... She's also a very good learner, and can almost memorize anything she reads, except..."
Yin Xiangrong paused, "Besides driving a mecha..."
Xie Shuqin suddenly thought of the first words Xu An said when he saw her after he lost his memory.
