A shady deal? Was he tricked?



A shady deal? Was he tricked?

The strong fingers gripped the joints of the steel plates tightly, which was slightly different from what was guessed but almost the same.

Liu Xia instantly removed the mechanical hand that had conjured up on her hand. To be honest, compared to her own hand, this piece of iron was really not very convenient to use if she was not familiar with it.

When Song Xuan sank from the steel plate, his hair was blown by the wind. Liu Xia guessed that the space below must not be a completely enclosed one.

There is a set of sophisticated mechanisms operating under the metal steel plate, which can close and expand to form spaces of various widths, supporting the lifting and lowering of human bodies or pollutants of different sizes, and a faint light emerges in the gaps.

At this moment, Liu Xia was in such a vertical metal space. Since there was no object that needed to be lifted or lowered, the steel plate supporting it below did not exist and was completely suspended in the air.

After confirming that there was no risk of being pinched into a meat patty, Liu Xia did not hesitate at all. She loosened her fingers and began to fall rapidly. At the same time, she spread her arms to support the iron walls on both sides to slow down.

When Liu Xia landed, he rolled to slow down the impact of the fall. When he looked up, the steel plate above his head had completely closed.

When the last light completely disappeared, Liu Xia quickly adapted to the environment here.

A gentle breeze blew in from below, and a ray of light came through a gap that looked like a vent, casting a few faint horizontal lines on Liu Xia's face. He looked around at the situation here and could faintly smell the smell of disinfectant and blood.

Liu Xia held his breath, bent down and groped for a gap in the metal corridor, squinting his eyes and peering down through the metal grid of the vent.

Below is an independent room about ten square meters wide. A transparent medical cabin is located in the center of the room, filled with light green liquid.

The injured person inside at this time was the winner of this time, Scarhead. He was almost naked wearing only shorts. The external skeleton on his body had been removed and placed aside. He was floating in the light green liquid. Two mechanical arms embedded in the medical cabin moved quickly to repair his damaged body and prosthetic limbs.

It seems that this is the medical method of "Leviathan". Compared with the medical level of modern society, it can be said that it has developed to a very advanced level.

"It's not Song Xuan..."

Liu Xia thought silently in his heart and crawled towards another place where light came through.

There was a lightly clothed injured person lying in the medical cabin of every compartment. Even the sword-wielding warrior who was used as a "human frisbee" by Scarhead was being repaired. His waist, which was almost bitten off, had been sewn up. It seemed that his life was saved.

"Splash..." A clear sound of water came from a medical room somewhere.

Liu Xia hurriedly and quietly crawled to the source of the sound. The wounded person in the room was the heavy exoskeleton warrior whose leg muscles were pierced.

At this time, his body had been repaired and he was standing in the middle of the room, wet all over. The green liquid in the medical cabin had disappeared.

The heavy warrior looked a little annoyed. He skillfully connected the exoskeleton to his body, quickly opened the door and walked out.

He was obviously very familiar with the medical room and was familiar with the whole process.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xia's expression eased a little, not as ugly as before, and he regained his confidence and started looking again.

Judging from this situation, both the mechanical arm and the unknown green liquid in the medical cabin have extremely strong repair capabilities, and the soldier who entered the medical cabin first has been repaired.

It can be seen that "Leviathan", as the organizer of the competition, really does not disregard the lives of the players. It not only ensures the viewing experience of the competition, but also avoids losses to the players to the greatest extent.

After searching seven or eight cubicles in a row and beginning to feel annoyed, Liu Xia finally found Song Xuan in a room at the edge.

When Liu Xia finally saw Song Xuan, who was still alive and completely immersed in liquid, his heart finally settled down.

"As long as I'm still alive." Liu Xia murmured to himself, his frown relaxed, and his eyes involuntarily showed a gentle and guilty look.

I don’t know how the medical cabin was arranged. The last contestant sent in was in such a remote position, so Liu Xia started looking around near Scarhead’s medical cabin. He looked around and saw almost all the half-naked bodies of the contestants.

Liu Xia dug his fingers into the metal blades of the vent, tensed all his muscles and pulled hard, trying to break the blades.

"Crack!" With a slight sound, the blades at the vent were forcibly stretched until they broke under the weight.

Liu Xia continued to do this until the passage was wide enough for one person to enter, then he stopped.

Song Xuan in the medical cabin had a pale face and his eyes were slightly closed. His eyeballs could be seen rolling slightly under his eyelids. He did not appear to be in a coma, and no one knew what he was thinking at the moment.

Many of the wounds on his body have been almost healed, and even the purple and black bruises on his left arm have disappeared.

The clearly defined muscle lines were very pleasing to the eye in the green liquid, but the mechanical prosthesis on his right hand was still broken, floating slightly in the liquid.

I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t been repaired in time, or if the technical conditions of the medical cabin don’t allow it. After all, it’s a military-grade mechanical prosthesis, and it’s probably more complicated to repair than an ordinary prosthesis.

Liu Xia first looked around cautiously, carefully observing whether there were any surveillance cameras in the room to avoid exposing her whereabouts.

After looking around carefully for a few times and making sure that there were no cameras or things flashing red light here, he followed the passage he had opened and jumped in very nimbly. His shoes didn't even make any sound as he landed steadily next to the medical cabin.

Liu Xia guessed that these medical rooms must be fully automated, and the players would leave on their own after treatment, so there would be no need for monitoring.

"Song Xuan... can you hear me?" Liu Xia tried to gently tap on the outer wall of the medical cabin, not knowing whether the people inside could sense it.

Song Xuan's long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes. He unconsciously placed his palm towards Liu Xia's position. An expression of disbelief and surprise flashed in his eyes. A series of bubbles emerged from the oxygen tube in his mouth. He never expected to see Liu Xia here.

Then he seemed to remember something, and his face turned red with embarrassment. After all, it would be a bit embarrassing to suddenly be naked in front of the person he loved.

Liu Xia looked at him with complicated eyes, and also spread out her palm and placed it on Song Xuan's hand. The two of them kept their palms touching across the transparent medical cabin.

Just like that night, with their fingers intertwined.

Liu Xia's heart, which rarely fluctuated, was filled with complicated emotions as their eyes met.

Song Xuan looked at her with sparkling eyes, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something. His expression suddenly tensed up, and his left hand, which had been pressed against the wall, gestured quickly in front of him with an anxious and painful expression, as if he wanted to tell her something.

Just when Liu Xia was a little confused as to why he kept pointing at the door, he keenly heard a burst of crisp footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.

“Someone?!”

Liu Xia was shocked and understood what Song Xuan meant.

He quickly bent down, bent his knees and jumped up with all his strength. His fingers directly grabbed the entrance where he had just jumped down. With a sudden force from his waist, abdomen and arms, he got back onto the partition.

The whole process is completed within two seconds.

"Bang!"

Just when Liu Xia had just hidden herself, the door of the medical room was kicked open rudely and a tall, gorgeous woman in a dark blue officer uniform stood at the door.

"Mr. Song, you didn't even report to headquarters after returning, and you still have the time to participate in entertainment activities at a place like this?"

The tall beauty poked the medical cabin with the tip of her shoe in a haughty manner, pointed at his broken mechanical prosthesis, and sneered, "An entertainment program actually made itself look like this. It's hilarious."
