National destiny: Starting with a coffin, building an aircraft carrier is broadcast live globally.

The story begins around dusk.

The sky was overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain. Ivan felt that the battle had been very exciting.

Not only did they receive the largest sum of evolution points in history, but they also got to live an extra day...

Awesome!

This is the time to celebrate!

Ivan stealthily pulled out a bottle of rum, swung his axe and precisely smacked the cork off, just as he was about to take a sip, he was stopped.

"Hey buddy, want some?"

Turning my head, I saw it was Aurora.

"Mr. Ivan, you are still injured."

"It's all healed!" Ivan patted his chest. "You can't even see the scar anymore!"

"no......"

Aurora disagreed.

She put on a stern face, adopting the same attitude she would have used to refuse little Toto's request for spicy food from the convent:

"Perhaps the bullet is still inside."

Ivan chuckled twice: "How could that be...? Perhaps the curse is a way of transferring damage, not the bullet itself..."

But Aurora remained unmoved.

Ivan just stared at him with a straight face, his smile completely frozen—

What's causing this feeling of oppression?!

"Then..." he swallowed hard, "how do we check?"

then......

Unaware of what was going on, Ivan was brought before Renyi.

"It's a minor problem, just a small surgery."

In an instant, Ivan's mind flashed back to his boss's glorious deeds—

Blocking a major artery with a hand, puncturing the abdomen to stop bleeding, manually pacing the heart, and using a stone to reset the leg...

"No, no, no, that's not necessary!"

He hid the bottle behind his back and repeatedly refused, saying, "I feel great! Really, I don't want to drink anymore!"

"Really?" Ren Yi nodded seriously upon hearing this. "Lie down here. We'll all worry if we don't check you."

"I...I strongly request anesthesia!"

With a casual reach, the Raven's form began to change, gradually transforming into a hammer.

He weighed the blunt-tipped hammer in his hand and looked at Ivan questioningly again.

Physical anesthesia.

Aside from a headache upon waking, there are no other side effects...

But with Aurora around, I won't have a headache when I wake up anymore—truly zero side effects!

Ivan: "..."

[Dude... now there's another job for anesthesiologists...]

[Ivan: I just wanted a drink!]

[Hahaha, physical anesthesia! One swipe of the hammer, and I guarantee you'll sleep soundly.]

[Ivan's expression right now is exactly like my expression when I realize I forgot my phone on my way to work...]

Ivan's gaze darted back and forth between the hammer and Aurora, who was blocking the doorway to the observation room.

"Isn't there... anything more normal?"

"Potion? Spray? If all else fails, how about a few bottles of rum?"

The raven turned back into a... big gold bracelet.

That makes sense.

He ignored it and instead picked out a brown bottle from the system repository.

That was the first one decomposed from the [Abyssal Barbarian Barnacle (Community)] on Grandpa Turtle's back. It had been used on the Sirens before, so it could be considered as having undergone clinical trials.

Paralytic toxin

Under Ivan's suspicious gaze, Renyi carefully poured two drops into the bottle cap.

As if afraid of wasting it.

"That's all?"

Ivan looked at the two drops of liquid, which were no bigger than beans, and felt that his body had been insulted.

He downed it in one gulp and smacked his lips.

"I don't feel anything at all. Could this stuff be expired?"

Renyi didn't say anything, but poured two more drops.

Ivan downed his drink again in one gulp, then jumped up and down. "Useless. I used to bathe in snow outdoors in winter when it was minus forty degrees Celsius..."

Before he could finish speaking, Renyi shoved the bottle into his mouth.

"Glug, glug...pop—"

He gulped it down in two mouthfuls and then quickly pulled the bottle out.

Ivan wiped his mouth and burped:

"See, I told you...it's expired...isn't it...?"

His speech became slower and slower, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier...

Then his body stiffened, and with a "thud," he slammed straight onto the deck.

I crouched down and pried open his left and right eyelids to look at them separately.

Ok.

Its eyes can still move, just like the sirens back then. "The effect is good."

......

The surgery was efficient and quick.

With the [Chenghai Envoy] around, there's no need to worry about sterility or hemostasis.

The raven, transformed into a scalpel, precisely sliced ​​through layers of flesh and then transformed into tweezers to pick out the deformed lead bullet, all within a dozen seconds.

A soft white light followed, covering the wound, and the exposed flesh began to writhe and heal.

The entire process took no more than a minute.

The only drawback is...

The surgery was over a long time ago, but the anesthesia is still in effect.

At a barbecue party filled with delicious aromas—

The giant, over two meters tall, lay on the ground like a javelin, cursing every meat-eater with his eyes.

Suddenly.

"Squeak—Clang!"

With a screeching sound, the writhing Deep Sea Shadow slammed on the brakes, jolting the entire ship.

"Splash!"

The hot plate slipped, almost smearing Xiduo's face with food.

Klaus reacted quickly and used Newton to block the iron plate, but some pieces of meat still flew out.

"What happened?"

He glanced up at the bulkhead at the bow of the ship.

He sensed a very faint life force not far ahead, but it posed no threat.

Like a...sleeping baby.

"I'm going out to take a look."

"I'll go with you." Klaus wiped his hands, grabbed his weapon, and followed closely behind.

"Take me with you, gentlemen,"

Ethan also stood up. "Perhaps I can identify what kind of plant or animal it is."

Aurora and Sita exchanged a glance and silently followed.

Suddenly, everyone left in a flash.

In the observation room, only the golden-red corona stone remained, diligently emitting light and heat, and...

Ivan lay lifeless on the ground.

A few slices of freshly grilled meat fell onto his cheek, oil stains soaked his hair, and an overpowering aroma kept wafting into his nose.

Ivan's eyes began to dart around wildly.

What about people?

Where did everyone go?!

Hey! Did you guys forget something?!

My eyes were practically shooting sparks, but my body felt like it was filled with lead, and I couldn't move at all.

He could only watch helplessly as Xiao Jiu peeked around for a while, then nimbly jumped up, its tentacles grabbed the few pieces of roasted meat next to his face, slowly stuffed them into its own mouth, and even humanely smacked its lips, waving its empty tentacles at Ivan.

Ivan: "..."
