K424 of the Collapse World

But all this is just the effect of those high-tech instruments. A body without brain waves can no longer function normally. Only by relying on external instruments can her heart beat again and her blood maintain circulation so that she will not completely turn into a cold corpse.

The corpse...

Few people know that she once suffered an extremely serious injury, which could even be considered as "death".

However, even though her limbs were cut off, her heart was torn out, and her forehead was pierced by her loved ones, she still survived. At that time, if modern instruments were used to investigate her remains, an almost imperceptible energy reaction could still be detected.

Such a fatal injury could not take her life.

But now, her body was intact, but her spirit was completely dormant, without any ripples...

"Hmm...Room R-0326, all instruments are operating stably, the deviation value is 0.06μ, and there are no abnormalities."

A middle-aged man in a white coat held an electronic recorder and gently pushed open the door of the intensive care unit. He looked at the display screen of the instrument in the ward through the thick glass, then made a few strokes on the terminal and left with his accompanying staff.

"Wait a moment, Dr. Sena."

At this moment, an assistant suddenly spoke.

"That patient just now...seems to have no brain wave response?"

"Yes."

"Then why do you keep her?"

The young assistant looked puzzled. He didn't understand why the dead should take up precious medical resources?

You know, there were countless people seriously injured and dying in that disaster. Although the losses in the battlefield of the Herrschers were minimized due to the intervention of Shiris and others, in the places where these extraordinary people had no time to take care of, the Valkyries and ordinary people who faced the Honkai attack would not win as cleanly and beautifully as the strong ones.

The massive gathering of Honkai beasts in East Asia, although the ultimate target is Saint Freya, it is by no means without impact on the surrounding areas!

The medical team was already very busy just to take care of the injured Valkyries. In order to maximize efficiency, many ordinary people with severe erosion had been abandoned for treatment and were simply given inhibitors and left alone. Whether they could survive depended on their own luck...

The disclosure of the Honkai disaster has exposed a large number of scientific research organizations in the world to the knowledge of Honkai, but in such a short period of time, civilian medical institutions are not enough to treat Honkai infected people. Therefore, this heavy burden fell on the ME Company and the Far East Branch.

The young assistant looked at his boss with a questioning look, and his idea was simple: in such a serious situation, why not quickly clean up the dead and use limited resources to save more patients?

"This isn't something you should worry about."

"No, I don't understand!"

The young assistant shook his head. He didn't think that Dr. Sena, whom he respected, would act like this. The assistant knew that when Dr. Sena first joined the Satori Organization, he already had a double degree in Honkai genetics and psychiatry. But because he was disgusted by the scientific research department's disregard for human life when treating the Valkyries, Sena resolutely left the research institute of the Satori headquarters and transferred to the Far East branch. He did not engage in his original scientific research work, but chose to stay in the small medical department...

How could such a noble person be confused at a time like this?

The relationship between superiors and subordinates in the Far Eastern society is very strict, but even so, the stubborn young man does not regret questioning his predecessors at this time.

"Doctor, I need an explanation, why?"

"Yeah, why......"

But to the assistant's surprise, in response to his questioning, Dr. Sena suddenly sighed, and his voice also revealed a hint of confusion.

"When the girl was sent here, she was already in her current state. No brain wave activity could be detected, and she didn't even have a heartbeat or body temperature. She was clearly a corpse..."

"But Branch Chief Theresa firmly ordered me to find a way to maintain her body functions, even if she has been diagnosed with brain death."

Hearing this, the young man's frown did not relax.

"Is it Branch Chief Theresa? Well... I guess this should be an important friend of the Branch Chief, but she is dead! Even if it is Branch Chief Theresa, she shouldn't be so childish and willful as to let us treat a dead person..."

"Don't speculate... Although Branch Chief Theresa looks like a young girl, she is actually older than me. She is not so naive as to not know that the dead cannot be resurrected. When the branch chief issued this order, she was obviously rational. Her calmness did not seem like an impulsive decision. She might have a way to save Miss Fu Hua."

"But Branch Chief Theresa is a Valkyrie, not a medical worker! Even we have determined that the girl is brain dead, how dare she say that the guy can be saved?"

"Perhaps, the people in the Research Department really have a way. Their level of research and application of Honkai far exceeds that of our Medical Department. Not only do they have the support of various high-tech technologies, but also... well, maybe they can revive the brain-dead Valkyrie, but they are temporarily unable to do so, and we need to keep this girl alive first."

Sena guessed hesitantly, but in fact, even he himself didn't quite believe this explanation.

Brain death is already the medical standard for determining death. To revive a brain-dead person is tantamount to bringing the dead back to life. Is the technology that reverses life and death really something that human technology can achieve today?

However, these words calmed the young man down and he no longer worried about this issue.

Afterwards, they checked another intensive care unit. There was also a girl on the bed, but her petite and frail figure didn't look like a Valkyrie, but more like an ordinary junior high school student...

"Room R-0327, Iselin Levicius. Huh? I seem to have heard this name somewhere before..."

Another assistant looked at the name on the information sheet and muttered to himself. Dr. Sena quickly completed the routine examination and left the ward with his assistants.

Iselin was also unconscious, but her brain wave response was still there, just weaker than that of an ordinary person. The test results showed that the nerve center was severely damaged, and there might be some sequelae, but it should be recoverable.

She and Fu Hua were both attacked by the Heart Herrscher's spiritual power. If Fu Hua hadn't used her power to protect her spiritual source at the last moment, I'm afraid the fate of the two would have been reversed...

However, medical practitioners do not know these details. They only use their own methods to save their patients.

667 Heavy >>

The patient in room r0330 was a girl with severe burns all over her body. When she was sent to the treatment center, she was already dying. However, compared with patients with collapse, such injuries are theoretically easier to treat.

But what is incomprehensible is that the charred and carbonized burn marks on the girl's body cannot be cured no matter what means are used! The nano-treatment liquid that usually works well has no effect on her body...

Even if the injured part is removed and then filled with cell regeneration technology, the ulcers repaired are still those burns. Not only is it ineffective, but it also brings torture to the girl receiving treatment again and again.

The burns on Wendy's body were traces left by the Law of Destruction of the Herrscher of Fire. Even the power of creation might not be effective. Naturally, they could not be healed by ordinary medical technology...

No doctor in the Far East Branch could do anything to cure Wendy's injuries. In the end, they could only scrape away the burn marks and then use drugs to limit cell regeneration to prevent the festering flesh from growing back...

Even a doctor who was used to seeing life and death could not help but be moved when he saw this girl wrapped in bandages.

After all, these Valkyries were injured because they had to fight against the invasion of Honkai and protect those who were unable to fight.

which is

So it is their duty and equally respectable.

"poor child......"

Dr. Sena sighed, not daring to touch Wendy's seriously injured body. He greeted the caregiver, checked the various values ​​of the instruments, and left the room with his assistants with heavy hearts.

"Um?!"

As soon as he left the room, Dr. Sena ran into a petite gray-haired girl.

Although she was also wearing an ill-fitting white coat, there were no minors among the staff of the medical clinic. Moreover, judging from the uniform under the girl's white coat, she was obviously a Valkyrie of Saint Freya.

No matter who she is, under normal circumstances, outsiders are not allowed to enter the ICU area.

"you......"

As soon as the doctor opened his mouth, the girl bowed politely.

"Hello, Dr. Sena, I am Bronya Zajcek, the B-rank Valkyrie of Saint Freya. I have been officially registered at the main office of the Medical Department."

"Uh...register? Well, Ms. Bronya, how can I help you?"

Since she was able to pass the formal registration, it meant that the girl came here on official business. As the person in charge of this area, Sena had the obligation to cooperate with her work.

"Please tell me the ward number where Miss Fu Hua is."

"......Room R-0326,"

"Thank you."

Looking at the young and calm gray-haired girl, Dr. Sena's brows twitched. Thinking of the Valkyrie whose brain waves had completely stopped, he couldn't help but step forward and ask a question.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Bronya, considering that Ms. Fu Hua's situation is rather special... Can you tell me what the purpose of your visit is?"

Hearing this somewhat abrupt question, Bronya stopped as she was about to leave.

"My purpose? I'm probably...her attending physician."

When I opened my eyes, I saw a ceiling that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

The layout of the lounges in the Far East Branch Base is the same everywhere. Just by looking at the ceiling, you can't tell where you are.

However, for Shiris, just knowing that she was in the Far East Branch was enough.

"Hmm... am I asleep?"

The girl blinked and looked at the metal ceiling in a daze, recalling what happened before she fell asleep.

"After returning to Saint Freya, I was brought to the Far East Base by Tesla and taken for a physical examination. Then... I fell asleep on the experimental table?"

She quickly came out of her daze and recalled the whole story. She couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I actually fell asleep as soon as I lay down? No, that situation is already considered a faint... But, Tesla wouldn't use my body to do some weird experiments while I was asleep, right?"

Although she was talking to herself like this, Hillis didn't think Tesla would do such a thing. After all, given their relationship, if Tesla wanted to cooperate with any experiment, he would definitely tell Hillis directly, instead of doing such a trick.

It seemed that Tesla had sent her to a bedroom in the Far East Branch and had even thoughtfully changed her into pajamas.

"How long have I slept?"

Just as Shirley was about to get up, her body stiffened.

She couldn't even do a simple move like sit-up and crunch.

"Well......"

At this moment, Hillary only felt that she was like a middle school student who did hundreds of sit-ups in physical education class, and she couldn't use any strength in her abdominal muscles.

Trying to use her arms to sit up, she helplessly discovered that the muscles in her arms were also sore, numb and swollen, as if they had been numbed while sleeping, and she could hardly feel the existence of her limbs.

If the girl's perception was weaker, she would probably think she was cut into a stick for a moment...

Finally, she used all her strength to prop up her body a little, rubbed the back of her head against the headboard, ignored the pulling feeling from her long hair pressed against her back, and struggled to sit up little by little.

But just as she sat up, she felt a blackout in front of her eyes, accompanied by a dizzy feeling in her head. If she hadn't eaten anything in the past few days, she would have vomited the overnight meal directly...

Although there was still no feeling of pain, the mixed feelings of nausea and weakness were equally unbearable.

Shirley covered her head for a long time before her dizzy vision returned to normal.

"My body... well, I'm afraid that after a good night's sleep, the accumulated fatigue has exploded..."

Shirley smiled bitterly and leaned against the headboard, thinking about what she had done before, it was not difficult to understand the current situation.

Before returning to Saint Freya, she had been fighting non-stop for four days, and had encountered sieges from nearly half of the Rulers. In the battle of the Rulers in Saint Freya, the Herrscher of Flame's core backfired, overdrawing its energy and holding the floating Saint

Freya...all these things added up together are too much for even an ultimate creature like the Herrscher to handle.

With her body and mind completely exhausted, the girl still tried to help deal with post-war affairs, but she ended up lying on Tesla's experimental table and fainted.

"It seems that if nothing unexpected happens, I will have to experience life as a paraplegic in the next three to five days..."

Although she was making helpless self-deprecating remarks, there was already a hint of gloom in the girl's eyes.

Can killing the Herrscher of Fire and the Herrscher of Heart, and then repelling the Herrscher of Rock who comes later, really guarantee temporary safety?

Honkai Impact 3rd is not a tower defense game with a set time to rest after defeating a wave of enemies. No one knows when the next Honkai Impact 3rd will occur.

This was the reason why she didn't dare to relax or rest before.

Now, the thing I was most worried about finally happened...

The simultaneous arrival of the seventh to tenth Herrschers was meant to target her who had obtained the Herrscher's Core. Now, Shiris was half-crippled by the backlash and overdraft. If the Honkai Will could observe everything on this planet at any time, wouldn't this be a good time for the next Herrscher to descend?

Besides, there is something even worse...

The Herrscher form has been irreversibly damaged. Can it still serve as a trump card against the final enemy?

The girl fell into deep thought again and didn't even notice the approaching footsteps outside the corridor...

ps————————————

I fell asleep again today! Oh... It's a rainy day, I slept enough but I still feel sleepy. However, I have slept for five hours in the afternoon, so it should be okay to practice Taoism and write in the evening...

668 A long-lost misunderstanding

"Long time no see~"

As the door opened slightly, Shirley heard a slightly soft female voice.

Coming out of her contemplative state, Shilis turned her head and saw a blue-haired girl wearing casual clothes and leaning on a cane in her right hand.

"...Hill?"

After a brief moment of daze, Shirley opened her slightly blurry and tired eyes, and called out the name of the person in front of her hesitantly.

"What? Miss Shilis doesn't recognize me after just a few months of not seeing each other?"

Smiling and teasing Shirley, the blue-haired girl walked up to her in a familiar manner, threw her crutches aside, and sat directly on the edge of Shirley's bed.

"Siris, why do you look so dazed? Did you sleep till you became stupid?"

"No! But you, after not seeing you for a few months, have actually turned into a cripple?"

"Do you think I like this? Tsk! If I meet that golden-haired bishop again, I will break his legs!"
