Chapter 270: Sword

In the lower area, in the C4323 pipeline, Lin Rui and Xue Lingxue were walking in an alley filled with sewage.

The exhaust fans and ventilators here are constantly making a buzzing noise due to years of disrepair. The entire underground tunnel is damp and cold, the air is turbid, and filled with the foul smell of corruption.

In fact, the environment in most places in the lower area is still acceptable, and the Ninth Base City also allocates sufficient funds every year to repair various equipment.

However, in some places, because the gangs are too powerful and collusion between officials and businessmen is very serious, some funds have gone to unknown places.

In addition, these places are inhabited by illegal immigrants who do not have legal residency rights, and not many people in the entire Ninth Base City care about their lives.

Although the fourteen base cities of Tianji Star are built on the satellite of Tianji Star, the living environment is better than that of most colonies of the Earth Federation because of the Earth Federation's heavy investment.

In addition, because this area is home to a large number of bio-colonization technology and arms companies, its national income is the highest in the entire Earth Federation, so it attracts a large number of immigrants every year, most of whom come through illegal channels.

When Lin Rui and Xue Lingxue walked along the passage into an illegally excavated cave, the air inside became fresher.

Lin Rui's expression changed slightly as he looked at a large puddle on the left side of the cave. It was 25 meters long and 8 meters wide and was made of high-strength epoxy resin cement.

It was actually a simple large refrigerator. The water inside was frozen, and you could see a colonial war dragon lying inside.

However, the war dragon was not in a very good condition. There were several abscesses and more than a dozen wounds on its huge body.

These wounds were not caused by being beaten, but were torn from the inside.

Lin Rui has begun to study colonial biology and knows that this war dragon is in a very dangerous state and its genetic chain is on the verge of collapse.

Although it was frozen, it was still slowly disintegrating because the temperature of the simple refrigerator was not high enough.

At this moment, he heard a slight "click" sound, which was the sound of the gun's safety being released.

A man covered in black stood at the door of the cave next to them, aiming a pair of Type 7 pistols at them.

Lin Rui couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. According to Xue Lingxue, his uncle had no money and was extremely poor, but this man's equipment was very good, much better than Fei Yunlai's.

The pair of Type 7 pistols had a large number of golden runes on them, which looked magnificent and obviously had been modified.

This person's colonial suit rating is still SS level.

It can be seen that this person was quite awesome before he suffered from colonial syndrome.

"Uncle Gong is me."

Xue Lingxue removed her mask. After the men in black lowered their guns, she introduced them to each other. "This is Gong Hengdao, my father's old comrade-in-arms, and this is my childhood friend, Lin Rui. His father was the most talented biological scientist in the Federation ten years ago. He studied under Academician Huangfu, and his current teacher is Academician Candidate Sima Lin. I had mental problems before, and it was Lin Rui who cured me."

She knew that Gong Hengdao was skeptical about Lin Rui's abilities, so she listed all three generations of Lin Rui's teachers.

"Hello, Mr. Gong!" Lin Rui smiled and shook hands with Gong Hengdao.

Gong Hengdao's reaction was cold, his voice hoarse and without any warmth: "Come in and talk."

He actually came here without any hope. Even an academician couldn't help with his colonial syndrome, let alone a little kid who was less than 19 years old?

The reason he came this time was to visit his friends in the Ninth Base City in the last days of his life, settle some grudges, and see if he could help Xue Bogao's daughter.

Lin Rui didn't care and followed Gong Hengdao inside.

The cave was very small, less than 30 square meters, and it was kept very tidy and clean. The slight smell of blood and decay inside was mostly from Gong Hengdao's body.

Lin Rui couldn't help but feel curious. Gong Hengdao seemed to be in good mental state, but why were the symptoms of the colonial war dragon so serious?

"Mr. Gong, please show me your left hand first. I need to take off the glove."

After Lin Rui sat down, his attitude was quite strong: "Xiaoxue and I are different body travelers, so we can't stay here for too long. Let's try to save time."

Gong Hengdao was about to talk to Xue Lingxue, but frowned in dissatisfaction after hearing what she said.

However, when he saw Xue Lingxue's expectant eyes, he silently took off his left glove and stretched it towards Lin Rui.

Lin Rui took Gong Hengdao's pulse and asked him to remove his mask. He looked at his face and tongue, and did not miss a single thing.

At this time, Gong Hengdao's appearance was very ugly, similar to the colonial war dragon outside, but Lin Rui was a kind-hearted doctor and did not despise him.

It's a shame there aren't any diagnostic instruments here, otherwise he'd be willing to give Gong Hengdao a full physical. Lin Rui's expression grew increasingly serious. "Your condition is truly serious. It's likely that an extremely powerful master has disrupted the coordination of your internal colonies, causing them to clash with one another, triggering colony syndrome."

To put it simply, the neural signals and pheromones of the colonization suit were artificially destroyed.

Gong Hengdao's talent for precision is actually quite good, but the problem is that the colonial armor in his body is in a mess.

It's like a psychiatrist facing a room full of mentally ill patients. Over time, the doctor's perception of the world will also become distorted.

Gong Hengdao's expression changed slightly. At first he thought that Xue Lingxue had told Lin Rui the cause of his illness, but then he thought that even Xue Lingxue didn't know where his colonial syndrome came from.

In the past, he was ambushed by a ninth-level master who tampered with the colonial equipment in his body.

Gong Hengdao didn't feel anything at first, until a long time later he discovered that there was something wrong with his mind and his colonial suit.

It was too late by then, and it was impossible to remove the colonial suit.

It's just because his mind has mutated and is incompatible with the normal colonial suit. Now he has to rely on the problematic colonial suit in his body to maintain his life. Once it is removed, he will die faster.

To put it more vividly, the shape of the electrical plug and socket have changed due to external force and can only match each other.

So all the famous doctors he consulted were helpless.

Gong Hengdao felt a little more approval towards the young man in front of him and nodded: "Mr. Lin's medical skills are indeed very advanced."

But could the other party solve his problem? Gong Hengdao was not optimistic.

Lin Rui was a little interested. Since Gong Hengdao's colonial mental illness was not caused by his own random colonial transformation, and he was still able to maintain his rationality, then the value of this 6SS was even greater.

"Honestly, your syndrome is very troublesome, much more troublesome than the average colonization syndrome."

Lin Rui opened his personal smart terminal: "My current medical skills are limited, and I can't cure this disease."

When Gong Hengdao heard this, he couldn't help but laugh at himself and said to himself, "As expected", but then he heard the next sentence.

"All I can do now is prevent your condition from getting worse, or even significantly improve it, so you can live a normal life."

Gong Hengdao's pupils narrowed slightly, and he looked at Lin Rui in astonishment. "Improved? Mr. Lin, do you know what you're talking about? Even Lin Zhaoguo couldn't help with my syndrome, and he's a biology academician from the Southeast Federation."

Could this guy be lying to him?
Xue Lingxue was overjoyed that Lin Rui actually had a solution.

Lin Rui shook his head slightly: "I don't know about this. I can only say that there is indeed a way to stabilize your condition, but——"

He paused. "Even stabilizing your Colonial Syndrome will require a significant amount of money. Especially since the medications I'm going to prescribe for you are mostly sourced from the Tianji Star. Each dose will cost a minimum of one million."

Gong Hengdao took a deep breath, but still couldn't suppress his excitement.

He had been running around for several years to solve his colonial syndrome and had experienced many hopes and disappointments, but even now, it was still difficult for him to remain indifferent.

"Let me think about it." As Gong Hengdao spoke, he grabbed a spray bottle on the table next to him and pointed the spray bottle at his nostrils.

He sprayed three times before his mind gradually calmed down.

Lin Rui's nose twitched slightly at this moment, and then he frowned and said, "Mr. Gong, can you let me see the medicine bottle in your hand?"

Although Gong Hengdao didn't understand what he meant, he still handed over the medicine bottle as he was told.

Lin Rui took it in his hand and took a look: "Lingyun? Taisu Pharmaceutical Company?"

"This is a drug specifically developed to alleviate Colonial Syndrome." Xue Lingxue also looked at the spray bottle in his hand. "This drug is quite popular now. It is said to be very effective. Many people in our Security Bureau are using it."

Gong Hengdao nodded: "This medicine is indeed effective. It was recommended to me by Xiaoxue's father."

Xue Lingxue was stunned when she heard this. Her father had recommended Lingyun to Gong Hengdao? She didn't even know about this.

Lin Rui pressed the spray bottle and sprayed out the medicine mist.

He sniffed hard, and after a moment, his expression gradually became solemn.
