NIKKE, when the stars bloom

On the side, hearing that the gangster lady was going to arrange medical staff for herself, Lieutenant Phoenix, who had his own nano-medical equipment, naturally didn't want to waste this time.

"No need. Send me back to the Ark now and we'll be even."

Only an unscrupulous person could say such a thing, he just killed dozens of the other person's men, and then asked them to help pick him up, and then he had the nerve to say "we are even now".

Fortunately, after two or three blinks, Phoenix himself realized that what he said was somewhat arrogant, which would not be conducive to his future self recruiting the other party into the cabinet, so he quickly changed his words:

"No, you send me back to the Ark, and I'll help you solve the remaining drug-growing problems in your family, and then we'll be even."

"?!"

When the second lieutenant blurted out the word "drug cultivation", Sakura, who was about to say something, suddenly fell silent, and her calm brows became a little gloomy.

Only the core members of the Qingming Society knew that they were secretly cultivating hallucinogenic plants to make hallucinogens. Because of the huge implications, once the secret was leaked, it would bring about a catastrophic disaster. Therefore, no one would be stupid enough to leak this matter.

So many years have passed, and even the Ark's spies were not aware of the Qingming Society's little tricks. Why would a prison-escaped lieutenant know about it?

Or maybe just kill him...

A faint murderous intent rose up from Sakura's heart again. It was true that she was a conservative, but she was in the underworld after all. Compassion and murderous intent were not contradictory.

However, as everyone had blood on their hands, Phoenix was much more sensitive to murderous intent than ordinary people. In just a breath, he noticed that Sakura's attitude towards him had changed.

"Don't rush to kill me. I know you have always wanted to cancel this project before the family has completed the training, and slowly transition the Qingming Society's business from an illegal industry to a gray industry."

The man did not hide his knowledge of the Qingming Society at all, and even did not bother to follow the plot, and said bluntly:

"It's actually very simple. I'll come back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Tell me the location of the garden and I'll burn it down for you. That's it."

"..."

When Sakura heard the lieutenant's violent plan, she instinctively thought it was ridiculous and absurd. If she could really burn the whole thing down, wouldn't she do it herself? Why would she need you to do it?

But soon, the girl tasted another meaning in Phoenix's words.

The reason why she couldn't do it herself was because the planting plan was arranged by the previous owner, and the benefits were unimaginable.

As the current head of the family, the only way for her to overturn the policy set by the older generation is to come up with a plan with greater benefits or minimal risks as an alternative.

This is a difficult task. Sakura has been searching for a long time but hasn't found any clue at all.

But...what if it was an invader who burned it?

If successful, she could even use it as an excuse to suppress the arrogance of her family members, and then re-plan the future development direction of the Qingming Society.

"Please get in the car first. This matter needs to be considered carefully. I don't need a few days."

After thinking through the pros and cons, Sakura's attitude changed 180 degrees again, and the murderous intent that had been rising up in her disappeared without a trace. She leaned over, put the lieutenant's right arm around the back of her neck, lifted up half of the man's body, and walked out of the alley.

……

……

The roar of military jeeps once again echoed in this impoverished land.

In the car, Sakura, who was sitting in the back seat with Phoenix, asked again hesitantly, "Second Lieutenant, do you really not need treatment?"

In response to this question, the man chose to spread his left hand to the other party, "Do you have any cloth? Give me a piece of cloth, the size of a handkerchief will do."

blah-

There was a sound of cloth tearing. Phoenix had just finished speaking when Sakura had already torn off a small piece of kimono cloth from her body and handed it to the man's hand.

Such a straightforward decision almost made him think that the person sitting next to him was not the leader of the Qingming Society, but someone who had fought side by side with him on the battlefield...

Gollum—

The dull sound of the slide paused Phoenix's evaluation, and the girl took out an unopened bottle of medical alcohol from the secret compartment in the car and handed it to him.

At this moment, someone's intention to recruit people began to show signs of changing without the person realizing it.

This……

This is a bit too thoughtful.

It was clearly the first time for everyone to meet, so how come this young lady acted as if they had been married for many years and could know each other's subsequent thoughts with just a glance or a gesture?

They are simply perfect teammates and a match made in heaven.

"What follows is a government secret, Ms. Sakura."

Phoenix put his thoughts aside and stuffed the folded cloth into his mouth without even looking at whether Sakura did what he said. He believed that the other party definitely did not have that much curiosity.

Guluuluulu——

Seventy-five-degree medical alcohol began to pour down from the shoulders. Under Anik's control, the nanometal was like seaweed in the ocean, undulating and surging, trying every means to ensure that every grain of metal could be baptized by the alcohol.

Guluulu——

By the time a bottle of alcohol was poured out, the pungent smell of ethanol had already filled the car.

Afterwards, knowing that he was about to face surgery without anesthesia, Phoenix gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, placed his right hand on the fracture of his thigh, and waited for the coming pain.

To recruit teammates,

This little pain is nothing.

Chapter 163 This will be much faster

Rinka Toto stepped on the brakes at the young lady's order.

The nanometal, which had already turned into a sharp knife, could not wait to pierce into the man's thigh, avoiding the larger blood vessels and heading straight for the broken femur.

It’s impossible to say it doesn’t hurt.

No matter how sharp the knife is, the severed pain nerves will still slowly realize the fact that they have been cut, and then diligently begin to send pain signals to the brain.

What's more, the broken bones that were embedded in the muscles had to be removed. Without the help of X-rays, Anik could only check the lacerated wounds one by one to see if there were any large pieces of bone debris in the wounds.

The pain caused by opening the wound was really like countless knives rushing through the muscles. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as being cut into pieces.

Cold sweat began to ooze out from Phoenix's forehead; the smell of blood slowly mixed into the air filled with ethanol.

The man's suppressed groan was like the roar of a wounded beast in danger, and it fell clearly into the ears of Sakura and the maid.

Seeing is believing. The boys and girls in the upper class always describe the lieutenant as a madman who is not afraid of death. Now, after seeing the real person, Sakura is sure that those playboys did not use exaggerated metaphors.

No matter what undisclosed method he used to treat his fracture, he dared to perform surgery on himself to remove the bone residue without anesthesia. Just this point alone, few desperados in the Outer Rim could do it.

Eight minutes later...

Lieutenant Phoenix, sweating profusely, took the kimono cloth out of his mouth, then put a few rice-sized pieces of broken bones from the palm of his right hand into it, wrapped them up, and stuffed them into his pocket on the spot.

Then he tried hard to control the stability of his voice and said with difficulty: "It's done... Let's go... Let's go."

Sakura, who was dozing with her eyes closed, nodded and told Rinka to drive to the nearest guard gate.

Speechless all the way.

During the short half-hour journey, Maid Rinka drove the car attentively, Miss Sakura continued to close her eyes and rest, and as for Lieutenant Phoenix...

While he was thinking about future recruitment plans, he was chatting with Alnick.

[If you continue to be injured like this, my suggestion is that you replace your body with a full-body prosthesis as soon as possible. It is better to suffer a short pain than a long one. You humans said so yourself.]

In the sea of ​​consciousness, the artificial intelligence pouted unhappily and reminded:

[Also, Nanometal and NIMPH are consumables. I suggest you take some time to go back to the ground and collect some for backup.]

Someone did not refute the second half of the sentence about artificial intelligence, but he was very unhappy with the first half.

[It's not that I don't trust you, but in my opinion, full-body prosthesis is not as good as uploading consciousness and directly ascending mechanically. ]

When the artificial idiot who had always hoped that the other party could ascend quickly heard Phoenix take the initiative to propose the idea of ​​mechanical ascension, his eyes immediately lit up.

[That’s fine! I can try…]

Snapped--!

However, before Anik could finish her words, the long-awaited blow with a bamboo chopstick landed on her data stream butt, causing the artificial idiot to jump in anger.

[Didn’t you say you wouldn’t hit me normally? ]

[You can't do that! You want me to ascend mechanically? Wait until I die. ]

Ignoring the other party's protests, the lieutenant cursed and stir-fried the meat a few more times, without telling Alnick what he was really thinking.

To be honest, he was still very resistant to the theory of mechanical ascension in his heart. Anik's birth of personality from a computer could only be an individual case. No one knew whether human data streams would gradually lose their personality after being uploaded, and gradually move from humanity to divinity, because no one had ever tried it.

There are many science fiction works that describe the beauty of mechanical ascension, and there are also many science fiction works that describe the tragedy of mechanical ascension.

He has never envied the monks in the West since he was a child, so naturally he would not like to be a data god now.

Wouldn’t it be nice to take good care of your kidneys and then sleep with your wife in your arms every day?

As soon as he thought about this, the lieutenant couldn't help but think of Michal, Marianne and Anis, whom he had just parted with.

Ok,

A man is as fragile when he is injured as a man is when he is sick. Somehow, he suddenly missed his wife a little.

……

……

Rumble, rumble—!

When the hour hand reached seven o'clock, a military jeep representing the leader of the Qingming Society appeared in front of guard gate No. 15.

Thanks to Ma Shiding's endorsement, the private vehicles of the three underworld queens did not need to be strictly inspected at all. They only needed to check the anti-counterfeiting license plate and confirm that Sakura was among them, and the guard on duty would choose to let them go with a cold face.

The car continued to drive quickly towards the city.

Logically speaking, Sakura had helped Phoenix smuggle back to the Ark, so the deal was complete. However, unexpectedly, the young lady not only did not drive him out of the car, but asked another question instead.

"Where is the lieutenant's next destination?"

Someone was also a little surprised by this, but since there was a free ride available, he didn't bother to be polite and said bluntly: "Go to Alpha Street."

Sakura: "Yeah."

Seeing that the head of the family had no objection, Linhua's driver naturally had no objection. He stepped on the accelerator, increased the speed by two levels, and started flying low directly on the suburban highway.

After all, she is a professional driver. She knows exactly which roads have surveillance, which roads do not, and which roads have broken surveillance and have not been repaired.

Then, Anik, who was in charge of recording, also had a clear understanding of this route.

……

"I'll get off here, Master."

Hearing the yawning sound coming from the back seat, maid Rinhua silently chose to ignore it. It was not until the eldest lady signaled to stop the car that she let go of the accelerator and parked the car on the side of the road.

Click!

Just then he heard the door lock unlock, and the lieutenant who had successfully returned to the Ark pushed open the door. Just as he was about to say thank you and leave, he heard Sakura's cool and faint voice behind him.

"Lieutenant, how do you think I should contact you?"

"Ok?"

Turning back to meet the girl's faint gaze, the man, with a tingling scalp, gave out his chat account from the bottom of his heart.

His problem,

Taking the initiative to seek cooperation with others, but forgetting to even give their contact information, it seems that they are not sincere.

……

……

When Phoenix's right foot touched the ground again, the man realized that his leg was not as good as he thought.

Muscle tears take time to repair, and nanometals play a more fixing role.

However, there is always a way, as long as you are thick-skinned enough.

"Well...if you don't mind, Ms. Sakura, could you give me a hand?"

The lieutenant staggered around, glanced at Miss Sakura who had a sullen expression, and added another sentence.

"I can find someone I trust to give me a hand."

"..."
