"No, please don't, ah!" Miserable howls were heard from the operating room, one after another, full of agony.
Dr. Wu acted as if he was used to it, with an unusual excitement in his eyes. He used a scalpel to cut a long incision on Shi Tou's chest. He accurately found Shi Tou's still beating heart, and used a syringe to draw out a small bottle of medicine from a small bottle. He aimed the needle tip of the syringe at Shi Tou's heart and slowly pushed the liquid inside into it.
"Ah, no, let me go, please let me go." Shitou's face was covered with tears due to the pain, and he only had the strength to murmur.
After the full syringe of liquid was injected, Shi Tou's body began to twitch, veins popped out on his face, and there was a faint sign that he was about to mutate into a zombie.
Dr. Wu said to his assistant, "Give him a blood transfusion. Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on him. If he doesn't mutate into a zombie in half an hour, then we can replace his main skeleton. Otherwise, it will be a waste of effort."
"Okay, Doctor." The assistant took out blood of the same blood type as Shi Tou from the blood bank and gave him a blood transfusion. Shi Tou was still twitching. His body's immune system was fighting against the zombie virus. Whichever side won would have completely different results.
The entire sixth floor was filled with a strong smell of blood, mixed with Stone's painful cries, which lasted for half an hour.
The noise from Shi Tou gradually died down. Dr. Wu washed his hands again, put on a new pair of sterile gloves, and came to Shi Tou.
Shitou had fainted from the pain, but the heart was still beating, but the color of it had turned a little blue.
Dr. Wu looked at the beating stone heart as if it were a work of art, chuckled, and said, "He actually survived. That's quite interesting. Prepare the human steel skeleton and the anesthesia. Now we just need to replace the entire skeleton, and everything will be done."
The assistants became busy, and Dr. Wu began to cut the flesh of the stone bit by bit. The operation lasted from the afternoon until 3 am. Dr. Wu took three breaks in the middle and finally completed the whole bone replacement surgery in the early morning.
Dr. Wu chuckled at Shitou, whose anesthetic effects hadn't yet worn off, and said, "What a perfect piece! Just rest for three months and you'll be reborn."
The assistant came over to help Dr. Wu take off his surgical gown. "Doctor, you've worked hard all day. You should go and rest."
"Okay, look at this stone.
"Boss, by the way, take a good look at that woman too. We're going to do another experiment on her tomorrow." Dr. Wu smiled kindly and said.
"Okay, Doctor. We'll pay attention to it." The assistant responded quickly.
In the early morning light, when Shitou woke up again, he felt severe pain all over his body. It felt as if his body was cut into pieces and all the bones in his body were broken. He wanted to shout but found that he had no strength at all. The bone-eating pain continued to invade him, and after a while, he fainted from the pain again.
It was already noon when Dr. Wu came to the laboratory on the sixth floor again. Ke Qing was tied to the operating table. She had cried until she was exhausted and her voice was hoarse and she could no longer speak. She shook her head gently, her eyes full of fear.
Dr. Wu smiled gently at her and comforted her, "Don't be nervous. I'm just making a small change to your baby. Don't worry, I will make the baby in your belly stronger."
The more Dr. Wu smiled, the more fear appeared on Keqing's face, and she even trembled involuntarily. But it was obvious that Dr. Wu would not stop. He performed a minimally invasive surgery on Keqing, making three holes around her lower abdomen for the operation. In order to ensure the normal growth of the fetus, Dr. Wu did not give Keqing anesthesia and just kept the incisions open.
Ke Qing was already exhausted, and now she fainted from the pain.
Dr. Wu extracted a bottle of genes from a level 2 zombie and injected it into the fetal embryo in Keqing's body. He then used a drainage tube to drain the blood and sutured the remaining two small wounds. Only after doing all this did he take off his surgical gown with a sense of accomplishment and sit aside to drink tea.
On the other side, Chen Wan and his friends had just earned 2,000 points in the first zone when Jiang Yanxin killed a level 3 mutant animal. Chen Wan could now enjoy the food provided by his wife.
The RV had not been successfully upgraded yet, and Qin Ke and Shen Mingyan went out to buy some mutant fish. At noon, Chen Wan was in charge of cooking pickled fish. The sour and delicious fish meat was paired with rice, and the baby's face was puffed up from eating it.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Wan and Yiyi came to the RV. After 30 hours of upgrading, the RV was successfully upgraded to level six.
"The RV has been upgraded to level six. The vehicle's glass, body, and tires have been strengthened to a certain extent. The system scanning range has been expanded to 160 meters, the compression space has been upgraded to 480 square meters, and the fuel tank and water tank capacity have been upgraded to 44,800L. The host has gained an opportunity to improve his abilities. In addition, the RV can enter the air form." Yiyi's voice sounded in the RV, reporting the details of the RV upgrade to Chen Wan.
Again.
Chen Wan chuckled and nodded. "With an aerial form, we'll be much safer. If there's an emergency in the future, taking to the sky is also a solution. However, the fuel tank is bigger this time, so it's hard to find the gasoline inside."
"We can go to the surrounding towns to collect gasoline slowly. There's no rush." Yiyi said with a smile. The RV had an aerial form, and Yiyi breathed a sigh of relief. Next time if they encounter a flood, the RV will have an extra way to survive.
"Yiyi, how many vehicles and crystal cores do we have left after the RV upgrade?" Chen Wan asked after thinking for a while.
"Apart from the vehicles and crystal cores used for this upgrade, there are still 133 small cars, 123 large trucks, 4 armored vehicles, 6,241 level 2 zombie crystal cores, 8,000 level 1 zombie crystal cores, and 24 level 3 mutant animal crystal cores. Generally speaking, there are still plenty of things for upgrades, but the small cars are not enough." Yiyi took inventory of all the remaining vehicles and crystal cores so that Chen Wan would have an idea.
Chen Wan nodded. Every time the RV was upgraded, it meant that they had a better chance of surviving in the apocalypse. She added the skill points gained from this upgrade to speed. This way, strength and speed would each have a 2-point attribute bonus, while agility and vitality would have a 1-point attribute bonus.
As usual, the two of them took some vegetables and fruits back to their residence.
Cao Wei and Shang Nuan were also busy strengthening the defense of the first district, while screening the surrendered soldiers to see if there were any traitors, and driving all the unstable elements out of the first district.
Shang Nuan and Chai Guanfeng worked hard for a whole day and night and finally sorted out all the affairs in the first district. They came to Cao Wei to report on their work progress.
"Commander, we have checked the personnel one by one as you requested. More than a dozen surrendered soldiers of unknown origin have been expelled from the First District. To prevent the remaining soldiers from forming groups, Adjutant Shang and I have reorganized them and assigned them to the original teams in the First District. This will allow them to quickly integrate into the First District, and the veterans in the previous teams can also keep an eye on these people for any disloyalty." Chai Guanfeng said.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. Go back and rest quickly. This time, I was able to do this thanks to you two. Oh, and I have to thank Chen Wan and Jiang Yanxin. Jiang Yanxin first helped eliminate the Level 3 mutant lion, and then took a bullet for us. I really should thank them."
Cao Wei also did not sleep all night. She rubbed her brows a little and continued, "Commander Chai, you go and rest first. I have some things to tell you.
Ah Nuan."
"Yes." Commander Chai saluted and left Cao Wei's office.
For a moment, Cao Wei and Shang Nuan were the only two people left in the huge office. Shang Nuan lowered her head to admit her mistake and let her superior scold her, not daring to look Cao Wei in the eye.
Cao Wei was so angry that she laughed at her expression. "You're being obedient now, but it's useless. Who asked you to take the bullet for me yesterday? Did you know that the situation yesterday was dangerous? If it weren't for Jiang Yanxin, you probably wouldn't have had the chance to stand in front of me?"
"It is my duty to protect the commander. I am willing to take the bullet for him." Shang Nuan raised her body slightly, but still did not dare to look at Cao Wei.
"Okay, you're being tough. Now you don't even listen to me." Cao Wei stood up and walked a few steps in front of Shang Nuan. "Look into my eyes and talk to me."
Shang Nuan was forced into a corner and had to look at Cao Wei obediently.
Cao Wei was just about to scold her a few more times, such as not to take risks for her anymore and not to block bullets for her, but after seeing Shang Nuan's dark circles and her pitiful expression, the words seemed to be stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
In the end, Cao Wei just sighed heavily in front of her and muttered, "You won't listen even if I tell you. Forget it, go and get some rest. Look at how dark your eyes are. I'll give you a day off so you can go back and sleep."
"Yes!" Shang Nuan replied firmly, seeing that his crisis was over. He then said, "Commander, you should go and rest too. District One has been stabilized. With your temper, you must have been awake all night last night."
"Okay, I got it. By the way, I just forgot to tell Chai Guanfeng that you two have made great contributions this time. What supplies or other rewards do you want? As long as I can do it, I will probably approve it for you." Cao Wei looked at Shang Nuan and asked.
Shang Nuan's originally calm eyes had a ripple. She met Cao Wei's gaze, pursed her lips and whispered, "You."
Although her voice was low, they were the only two in the office, and since they were not far away, Cao Wei could hear it clearly. Her ears turned slightly red, and she glared at Shang Nuan with a frown, demanding, "What?"
Shang Nuan pursed her lips, feeling a little flustered, and quickly changed the subject: "I mean, can you give me the dagger you always carry with you? I want that."
Cao Wei breathed a sigh of relief but also felt strange. She stared at Shang Nuan for a few seconds before responding, "If you want a dagger, then you want a dagger. Can you please stop panting when you speak?"
"Yes," Shang Nuan replied obediently, her expression showing none of the arrogance she had shown when facing Commander Yang. Instead, she acted like an obedient big dog.
