Hera suddenly grabbed the knife from Xinglan's hand and snatched it away.
Everyone was stunned, especially Xinglan, the person involved. But before anyone could react, Hera slashed at her own left hand.
Her left hand was instantly severed by a sharp dagger and held in Xinglan's hand.
Upon seeing this, Xinglan's mind went completely blank.
She slowly raised the hand that had been holding Hera, and then saw only her severed left hand. "Ah!!" A scream escaped her lips, and like a virus, everyone except Sun Hai and Nan Ming screamed!
"Hera, don't be angry! I didn't mean to distrust you!" Xinglan said, her voice trembling as she held Hera's left hand.
"Ah! Don't be afraid, Miss Hera! I'll go get you some gauze to stop the bleeding!" Si Xiaobei hurriedly ran towards the infirmary to get some gauze.
"Hello! 120! Someone here has a broken arm! Quickly arrange for your best surgeon to be on board!" Feng Xuan hurriedly dialed 120.
Liu Xiaogang was terrified again.
The scene instantly descended into chaos, with only Sun Hai silently breathing a sigh of relief as he lowered his hand from a black grip he had been carrying.
Hera blinked at Xinglan, who was frantically assuring her that she didn't distrust her.
Then the surface of the wound on my left hand began to turn into black mucus and wriggle rapidly. In a short while, a brand new left hand grew back.
Xinglan suddenly shut up, staring dumbfounded at Hera's newly grown left hand. At this moment, her feelings were probably similar to Liu Xiaogang's when he saw Hera, who had been cut in half at the waist, being pieced back together.
The others also stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at Hera, their expressions becoming unified at that moment.
"Hello, sir, is there any situation with the patient? Hello, hello?"
"Uh...no need, sorry to bother you." Feng Xuan then hung up the phone stiffly.
They all stared blankly at Hera, and the air suddenly became quiet.
"You... can you move this severed hand?" After a long while, Nanming finally spoke, breaking the silence. The others also came to their senses and looked at Hera with curiosity.
Hera nodded, then suddenly clenched her left hand, which was still being held by Xinglan, into a fist.
Xinglan's hand trembled at first, then she became excited and saw stars. Everyone else, except for Si Xiaobei who looked a little scared, was also excited.
What does this mean?
This indicates that Hera is indeed a symbiote, and that her symbiotic partner is HeLa cells.
Those Hela cells were used to wipe out an entire city in a single night. Putting aside how much strength they had left after symbioticating with Hera, their powerful regenerative abilities are extremely rare among all superhumans and mutants.
“It seems we can confirm it now; Hera is indeed a symbiotic being in symbiosis with HeLa cells.” Sun Hai nodded.
"Hey, wait a minute!" Xinglan suddenly looked at Hera with sparkling eyes and excitedly asked again, "Hera, can your severed left hand regenerate on its own?!"
All eyes turned to Hera once again.
Hera was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and the wound on her severed left hand quickly healed.
Seeing this, the crowd was clearly not as excited as before, and Xinglan's eyes even revealed a hint of disappointment. She had thought that a new Hera could grow back, but instead, the wound was healed.
Xinglan shook her head and smiled. After all, one shouldn't be too greedy. It's already pretty good. At least it can ensure that Hera won't die easily in the future.
But then Hera's lips trembled slightly as she struggled to speak, "Hungry..."
"Ah, are you hungry?" Xinglan looked around, and Si Xiaobei, who was next to her, immediately took out the only three strawberry-flavored candies he had left from his pocket and handed them to Xinglan.
Xinglan thoughtfully tore open the packaging bag and placed it in Hera's hand, saying, "Have a few candies to tide you over, and we'll cook later."
Hera held the three candies but didn't eat them. Instead, the severed hand in Xinglan's hand began to change again. The palm began to wriggle, and then a horizontal crack slowly opened, like a mouth.
Seeing that Hera had grown a mouth on her severed hand, Xinglan seemed to have guessed something, and her cheeks began to turn red with excitement.
Then Hera stuffed all three candies into the mouth of her left hand, and Xinglan placed the severed hand on the table.
The mouth on the severed hand chewed twice and swallowed all three candies, after which the entire hand began to wriggle.
To everyone's astonishment, the hand slowly grew into a complete forearm before stopping its growth.
"Wow!" Xinglan's heart pounded with excitement as she watched this scene.
“So, as long as there’s energy, Hera can completely replicate herself,” Feng Xuan said, stroking his chin.
Sun Hai nodded slightly, becoming even more convinced that Hera was a symbiotic being in symbiosis with HeLa cells.
"So what should we do with this hand?" Feng Xuan asked.
Hera blinked, then picked up the forearm and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
Everyone: ?! !!!
Hera's small mouth shouldn't have been able to fit it, but the entire arm was as soft as jelly, and it swallowed the whole forearm in no time.
"Ugh!" Si Xiaobei covered her mouth with her hand and rushed to the toilet, "Ugh—!"
The others were also completely dumbfounded and shocked. Nanming coughed lightly twice, "It seems that the [HeLa cells] have a pretty big impact on Hera."
Liu Xiaogang turned his head and said in a trembling voice, "I don't think this is 'just big,' it's extremely big!"
Hera continued sitting as if nothing had happened.
After everyone had calmed down, Nanming asked Sun Hai, "Captain, what do you want to do with Hera?"
“Hera’s ability is very strong. I think she should become a Night Star.” Sun Hai answered without hesitation.
"But, Captain, you know Hera's situation. Even if someone like her has regenerative abilities, it would still be very dangerous for her to become a Night Starman."
"I think it would be good for him to just live here as an ordinary girl." Liu Xiaogang looked at Hera with concern.
“I support the captain. Hera’s abilities are indeed very strong, and she should become a Night Star. If she just becomes an ordinary girl, it would be a waste for the entire Great Xia.” After saying this, Feng Xuan was glared at by Liu Xiaogang, but Feng Xuan just shrugged.
Xinglan looked at Hera with a conflicted expression. When she first met Hera, she actually hoped that Hera could become a Night Star and fight alongside her.
But when the time really came, Xinglan hesitated. She wanted to fight alongside Hera, but she was also afraid that Hera would be in danger.
She scratched her head, but ultimately couldn't make a decision.
