Ben sat in the ward, touching the "ice pack clothes" on his chest and back.
When I am not very emotional, this special clothing can maintain my body temperature for about an hour.
And when he goes to bed at night, someone will replace the ice pack for him.
I'm almost used to this way of resting, but I still can't get used to lying in bed for a long time.
Gently remove the ice pack.
Just a few seconds later, his chest began to feel hot and itchy, and Ben was so scared that he quickly cooled down again.
"Hey~"
He sighed, this was out of control.
Outside the ward, there are people standing there to protect him at all times. Ben is also aware that he is very special now, so he tries his best to cooperate.
As a father of four, he hopes to return to normal life.
"Is this considered a superpower?"
The excitement of watching popcorn movies before was not very strong.
It is naturally a good thing to be able to obtain extraordinary powers, but in my current state, I can't control it at all. Even if I go home to hug my daughter, what if I can't help it?
He now deeply understood what his father had said before his daughter was born.
"When you become a father, you will understand what responsibility is!"
Now Ben would rather give up his useless ability in exchange for a normal life with his family.
"Dongdongdong~"
After knocking on the door a few times, Alvin came in.
"How do you feel?"
His attitude towards Ben did not change much, and he tried his best to fulfill his duties as a doctor.
He felt this instinctively. Compared with the warm government workers who came to choose every day, Ivan's daily rounds made him feel more at ease.
"Doctor, will I be dissected?"
Ivan came over and laughed and hit him on the head with the clipboard.
"How can you have such a messed up idea? If anyone dares to attack you, Chief Norton will be the first to shoot him without me."
As a renowned doctor, Alvin not only has excellent medical skills, but also has a deep understanding of patient psychology.
He sat down on the edge of Ben's bed without fear.
"You miss home, do you miss your daughter again?"
"Well, I think I'm going to miss her fifth birthday."
Ivan smiled.
"You should change your mindset. Imagine if you knew your dad was a fire-breathing superhero when you were four or five years old. Wouldn't that be exciting?"
The metaphor made Ben laugh.
Indeed, the world in the eyes of children is different from that of adults.
"But I have no control over it now. I can't even hug Annie like this."
"Pah~"
Ivan patted him hard on the shoulder.
"Do you know the nickname they gave you?"
nickname?
Before Ben could ask, Alvin said it himself.
"Fire Dragon Bashuchel, Ben, your family has produced an extraordinary person!"
Ivan suddenly stared at Ben with a serious expression.
"Do you want Annie to be able to proudly call you this in the future, or do you want to continue to give up on yourself and passively treat it?"
…
In the communication conference hall on one side, Xiao Liu was explaining the current research progress of the evolvers as a representative.
Although China is actually just a showpiece and its previous opening remarks were very intimidating, in fact, it has come into contact with very few evolvers, and many of its theoretical systems are speculations.
But after all, we have taken the lead and the important inspiration is still there.
Boom~~
There was a slight vibration in the conference room.
All the people on the American side stood up nervously, their expressions revealing a nervous reflex.
"Again!?"
Everything that happened before and after the Flame Demon incident left such a deep impression on me.
When Tao Xingzhi and others were wondering why the Americans were overreacting, the door of the conference room was rudely opened.
"Sir! Fire Dragon, Ben is in trouble!"
Everyone in the group was very quick to react, and the conference room was empty in a few seconds.
When we arrived at the treatment area, the most eye-catching thing was the isolation shed area which was mostly damaged and still smoking. Firefighters were already putting out the flames.
Most of the other patients were in the process of being transferred, and Ivan had just been rescued, his body covered with burn marks.
There was a bustle everywhere.
"Where's Ben? Where's Ben Bashoucher?"
A lieutenant on the scene immediately came over to answer Norton's anxious questions.
"Sir, Ben is fine. He just got frightened. He is now being kept in the fireproof test area to calm down."
Norton felt relieved.
"What on earth is going on?"
The lieutenant actually didn't know much.
"Sir, from what I understand, there was a sudden small explosion in the treatment area, and Dr. Irving was seriously injured. According to Ben's own statement, he caused it accidentally, and he took the initiative to request that he be separated."
…
Inside the fireproof glass cover of a laboratory, Ben was as lost as a child who had done something wrong. His hospital gown had been damaged and he was now in a state of numbness.
Although the lieutenant said that he was fine, in fact, his whole body was covered with blisters from the burns. However, he was not in the mood to worry about the pain at the moment.
Cold water was constantly sprayed inside the glass cover to help him cool down, but when the water reached his chest it would still evaporate a lot due to the scorching heat, making the glass cover look like a bathhouse.
The door of the laboratory was opened, and people from both Hua and Mei came in together.
Huang Jiutian stared at Norton without blinking, while Baru was on guard.
"Ben, can you tell me what happened?"
Norton spoke softly, not wanting to irritate him.
"Sir...I, Doctor, am I okay?"
Although Ivan had 70% severe burns on his body and was undergoing emergency treatment, Norton still answered against his will.
"Dr. Irwin is fine. He just has a partial burn on his epidermis. He needs to rest."
"That's good……"
Ben looked slightly relieved.
"Just now, I wanted to try to suppress my desire to spit fire, but the more I suppressed it, the more irritable I felt inside, as if I saw a burning fire... and then..."
Ben hesitated and looked at Huang Jiutian.
"Sir, do you feel that there are other things here, besides humans... other things!"
Brush~
All the accompanying soldiers were on guard with their guns raised, and the people from the special departments of the two countries all protected their leaders in the middle.
On the Chinese side, there were Tao Xingzhi and Huang Jiutian, and on the American side, there were Norton, Baruch and Anthony.
Baru squeezed out of the crowd with a smile, like a strong brown bear.
"Sorry, I don't need protection!"
"Crack, crack!" Baru's finger joints and bones all over his body made crisp sounds.
"Sir, I need a gun."
Norton took a pistol from the lieutenant next to him and threw it to him.
"The M9 you're used to."
He took the gun and checked the bullets out of habit, then looked at Huang Jiutian.
"Mr. Huang, it looks like you have become our eyes."
In fact, Baru himself also felt a slight change in the magic power belonging to Qin Xiaoxia when Ben said that, but it was not sharp.
Huang Jiutian was actually more relaxed than the others.
"Yes, Mr. Bachucher, there is something else, but it is not outside. It is here with you."
Jiutian pointed to his chest.
"I didn't expect it to deceive my perception."
This sentence made all the guns point at the glass cover, and Ben suddenly felt like a thorn in his back.
"Everyone put your guns down. It can't get out. I can feel that it is a part of Mr. Ben, or let me put it in a biological way - symbiotic!"
After calming down the man holding the gun, Huang Jiutian turned around and comforted Ben.
"You don't have to worry. Although I don't know what it is, it should be integrated with your lungs and chest structure. In this way, the evolution of your body is also due to it. That's why it deceived me."
"But it seems to have become active for some reason."
How could Ben not be worried? Some scenes from the Alien movie kept turning in his mind.
"What if it comes out? What if it lays eggs? Will I die?"
Under the excitement, the color of Ben's chest was turning red at a speed visible to the naked eye, like a dangerous barrel of explosives.
"Calm down, calm down! Haven't you noticed that you haven't breathed fire for a long time!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone, including Ben, suddenly reacted.
Indeed, although there is cold water, judging from Ben's reaction just now, the inhibitory effect of cold water is not good.
"This thing doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards you, its host. Instead, it promotes your evolution. In other words, it promotes the co-evolution of you and it!"
When Huang Jiutian said this, he added another sentence in his mind.
"But it is possible that you may not be able to maintain your human form in the future..."
At a time like this, if I had been at the Dawn Secret House, I should have been able to get more effective help. What a pity!
