The Lost City of Alien Beasts

Chapter 1024 Blessing
"Drip-drip-drip-"

When he opened his eyes, Gao Yang was lying shirtless on a semi-automatic operating bed, with a sealed transparent tent erected around him to isolate the darkness, humidity and coldness outside.

In the blurred vision, a man wearing full surgical clothes was holding surgical tools and working with the assistance of a cyber surgical arm. He was the one being worked on, but he didn't feel anything, only a mountain of fatigue.

Gao Yang fell asleep slowly.

……

Gao Yang opened his eyes again, and the surroundings were quiet.

He had a ventilator in his mouth and IV tubes all over his body. He felt that his body was strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

"Pull—"

He heard the sound of the cloak being lifted up, and a tall and thin figure walked in, leaning down to look at him. Gao Yang's vision was still blurry, and he could vaguely see a long and narrow scar on his face.

He was tired and closed his eyes again.

……

Once again, Gao Yang woke up.

This time, there was no ventilator on his mouth, and most of the infusion tubes on his body were missing.

The feeling of his body has returned a lot, and he has a sense of solidity that his soul and body are finally nested correctly.

He tried to open his mouth to express his appeal, and soon heard his own hoarse voice: "Thirsty..."

"Wow!"

Gao Yang looked sideways slightly, and Can Can, who was accompanying him, stood up from the chair excitedly. Her eyes were red and she shouted: "Junior is awake! He is awake!"

Gao Yang was fed canned food and drank half a bottle of "energy water", and finally came back to life.

Wu Dahai heard the sound and was the first to arrive.

He rolled Gao Yang's eyelids, checked his tongue, then touched Gao Yang's body with his hands wearing medical gloves, and finally patted him on the shoulder: "Well, not bad, he is recovering well."

Gao Yang said nothing.

"Hey, have you noticed that you're missing something?" Wu Dahai smirked.

Gao Yang had already remembered what happened before he fell into coma. He tilted his head and saw that, sure enough, his right arm was gone, replaced by a silver-gray cyber prosthesis with a cold and smooth texture.

"When Boss Xia brought you back, you had only one breath left, your right hand was gone, the wound on your shoulder was scorched by the high temperature, and local nerves were necrotic. Even if you get your original arm back, you couldn't reconnect it. I got you a prosthetic limb."

Wu Dahai rubbed his hands, looking forward to it: "Are you ready? I'm going to activate it."

Gao Yang nodded.

Wu Dahai touched the back of Gao Yang's hand and pressed the hidden button.

The "muscles" on the arm lit up immediately, and a holographic operating interface was illuminated at the button. Wu Dahai's fingers were tapping rapidly on it, checking the user's status and debugging initial data and basic settings.

"It's done!"

30 seconds later, Wu Dahai hit the Enter key in the air hard.

"Weng—"

Cyber ​​arm activated.

"Ugh!"

A sharp pain hit Gao Yang's shoulder, like countless steel needles traveling through his blood vessels and then reaching his brain.

Fortunately, the pain was only momentary and slowly subsided after a few seconds.

"It hurt a little the first time, but I got used to it later." Wu Dahai took a step back with satisfaction: "Come on, do it with me."

Wu Dahai raised his right hand.

Gao Yang did as he was told.

Wu Dahai opened his five fingers and moved them flexibly.

Gao Yang did as he was told.

Wu Dahai clenched his fist hard.

Gao Yang did as he was told.

The middle finger of Wu Dahai's fist was raised little by little and pointed at Gao Yang.

Gao Yanggang was about to do as he was told, but Wu Dahai immediately interrupted: "Okay, that's all."

"This is the latest model, with a comprehensive fitness rate of 94.5%. It can also simulate human touch and can be switched to a painless state at any time..."

After listening to Wu Dahai's eloquent product introduction, Gao Yang stared at his cyber arm for a while and whispered: "Thank you."

"Hi! Thank you no matter what, we are all brothers." Wu Dahai stretched out his hand: "Friendship price, 600 credits."

Gao Yang was stunned: "I have no money."

"It's been paid. The money you earned from this mission will be used, and the rest will be transferred to your account."

Gao Yang raised his head, and Suzaku walked over with a smile, followed by Hui Xiong, Man She, Xi Ran and Ronny.

"Hahaha!"

Gray Xiong laughed and walked over, hugging Gao Yang's shoulders enthusiastically: "Little brother! Welcome to join the Tin Woodman family." "Tin Wood Man" is a joking name for natural people to modified people, and later became a nickname.

"Uncle Xiong! Be gentle!" Can Can was a little worried about Gao Yang: "Junior is still very weak."

"Brother, listen to me!" Hui Xiong ignored the can and continued to "preach": "There are only zero or countless times to modify your body. I bet you will become addicted in the future!"

"In the end, he turned into a violent lion?" Man She sneered.

"That's pure stupidity!" Hui Xiong said with disdain: "Remodeling everything except the brain will not only cost huge maintenance, but also have limited improvement in combat power. It will also lose human emotions and desires, and finally go crazy and turn into technology. slave!"

The gray male patted his chest proudly: "Look at me again, the proportion of body modification does not exceed 55%, human fun can be fully retained, and it also has the advantages of a prosthetic body!"

"Don't forget, our Jupiter travelers' abilities are also based on the natural human body after genetic mutation. Only in this state can we stand at the top of the food chain!"

"Ah, yes, yes, our uncle Xiong's main product is a mashup!" Can Can interjected.

"Can Can, when did you change your limbs? Don't you think you are short? Wouldn't it be nice to have a pair of long legs?" Gray Xiong said.

"Ha, haha..." Can Can smiled awkwardly, "I'll think about it."

Xi Ran held a piece of simulated skin in his hand and asked with a smile: "Captain, are you going to perform a traditional show?"

Ronnie took out a photolithography pen: "It must be arranged."

Others looked at Suzaku.

Suzaku was a little helpless: "Why are you looking at me? Do you want to ask for my opinion?"

"That is agreed!"

Gray Xiong grabbed the lithography pen, picked up Gao Yang's cyber arm, switched to the painless state, and started carving on Gao Yang's biceps. Sparks flew everywhere for a while, as if he was welding.

After a while, a crooked word "xiong" was left on his arm.

"It's me, it's me!"

Can took the photolithography pen, thought for a moment, took Gao Yang's hand, and drew an "orange" pattern on his palm.

While she was carving, she explained gently: "Wearing artificial skin on you later will not affect your appearance. This is our dream tradition. No matter who is installing the prosthetic body for the first time, everyone will leave a signature. It's considered a sign. bless."

"I don't have any objection to it, no matter what." Gao Yang said.

Soon, others signed too.

Man Snake left behind a snake's eye.

Xiran left an arrow pointing west.

Ronnie left one punctuation mark - a comma.

Suzaku leaves behind a "Neverlost".

Then, Ronnie and Can Can helped Gao Yang put on the artificial skin. Gao Yang moved his right hand again. Except that it was slightly heavier than the original arm, there was almost no difference.

"This is not a combat type, but it does have a lot of functions. You can get familiar with it later." Suzaku said and threw a piece of clothing.

Gao Yang put it on and finally asked: "When I was unconscious, was there a white cat on my body? It should be an early AI pet."

Suzaku's eyes were subtle, and the others also looked at each other.

After a few seconds, Suzaku nodded: "Yes."

"Can it still be repaired?" Gao Yang looked at Suzaku: "Its head is not damaged, but its body..."

"Don't worry." Can Can smiled: "It's been fixed."

"Meow!"

At this time, a white cat suddenly appeared, jumped on the operating bed, and jumped into Gao Yang's arms.

At that moment, Gao Yang felt a great joy of regaining something. He carefully held the white cat in his arms: "Great, you are still alive...Don't be afraid, you have a home, you don't have to wander anymore..."

"Meow."

The white cat stepped on Gao Yang's chest and rubbed Gao Yang's chin with its head.

Only then did Gao Yang realize that her right front leg had lost its artificial hair and skin, revealing a bone-like mechanical structure and various circuit components.

Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and smiled: "You are just like me."

"Everyone." Suzaku became serious and said in a solemn voice: "I underestimated the fighting power of the violent lion for this mission and seriously neglected my duty."

"It's not entirely your fault. We're also at fault." Ronnie said.

"Yes." Xi Ran said with a guilty voice: "We are still not experienced enough in using the [Green Box]. The human body modification of the violent lion has reached the military level, which should have been deduced long ago."

"Although it's very dangerous, doesn't it save the day? Captain, don't blame yourself." The can also tried to smooth things over.

"That's right, you gave Gao Yang your share of the money, which is considered compensation." Hui Xiong grinned.

"It won't happen next time," Manshe said.

"Yeah." Suzaku nodded and looked at Gao Yang: "But I'm curious, how did you kill the violent lion."

Gao Yang was stunned and began to recall: "I was very angry at the time. I only had one thought in my mind, which was to kill him, and then..."

Gao Yang suddenly stopped.
