the last gentleman

Chapter 145 Transformation

Now that the list has been submitted, tomorrow the organization will select three suitable teams based on the list submitted by the whole city, and head to this natural gray area where the [tunnel] was born.

In Zion, many teams are preparing for this event.

【Power station】

An ancient castle building inlaid with a large number of gears and constantly gushing steam,
Looking up, you can also see the steel bracket erected on the top, as well as a large number of exaggerated electric arcs that dance regularly.

No more than 15% of the gentlemen in Zion have seen the real appearance of the power station.

Right now,

Ludwig Reagan was in the depths of the power station, in a private laboratory chartered by the station master, making his final preparations for leaving the city.

While he was busy,

A woman with multiple cables connected to her body, realizing simple consciousness through circuit boards and precise currents, is sitting on the edge of the vacated laboratory table, shaking her legs up and down.

The cables hanging from the base of the calf were also shaking.

Observing the busy Reagan through special eyes covered by black hair.

Because she doesn't have a sound mind, she just likes to look at this very familiar young man, and doesn't think much about it.As long as Reagan was alone, she would run out alone to be by his side.

at this time,

Reagan stared at the special device that he had been studying for many years, and used the mechanical arm and adjustable magnifying glass assembled on the experimental bench to make final adjustments to the device.

Before I knew it, eight hours had passed.

The woman still maintains the same leg shaking and observation movements, even the swinging range of her legs is the same.

"Is it finally time to get out of the city..."

After completing the debugging, Reagan first came to the woman who was both fictional and real.

With the help of the weak electric arc jumping on the surface of the body, Reagan can directly contact the woman, and can actually touch her body...or in other words, only Reagan can touch her.

Reagan cupped the woman's hands, and a tear fell on them.

"Fey, please forgive my incompetence. With the research resources provided by the webmaster, I still can't make a breakthrough in the reconstruction of "nervous consciousness".

At least for me as a 'human' now, it is impossible to break through this technical barrier in a short time.

I need to take you to another trip to the twisted, hateful and dangerous gray field, to find ancient relics that can break through the limits of human beings.

Assure you, absolutely no harm will come to you this time. "

When Reagan finished speaking, the woman stopped shaking her legs,

Her body began to move slowly, making the sound of metal cables rubbing against bones.

The tongue full of small holes stuck to Reagan's ear, licking lightly and making intermittent electromagnetic interference sounds:
"Okay...let's...together...to go."

Reagan was greatly encouraged by these words, and he got up and returned to the debugged device.

This is an augmentation device designed by himself, supported by the station master, and paid in advance for a full ten years of salary.

An "exoskeleton spine" full of metallic luster, silvery white, like a scorpion.

Each spinal segment has a pair of soft metal appendages,
Once these appendages are inserted into the human body, they will automatically find the corresponding secondary nerves in the body for quick connection.

The biggest feature of the device is that it can convert individual bioenergy into electrical energy and store it, and it can also precisely and effectively regulate the delivery of electrical energy.

For example, after Ronald Reagan eats normally, part of the food energy undergoing glycogen conversion will be separated and converted into electrical energy, which will be stored in the spine.

For another example, part of the energy generated by Reagan during his daily walks and runs will also be stored in the form of electrical energy.

Because the device resembles an arthropod insect, it is usually called "electric bug" by Reagan.

Due to technological limitations of the times,

This kind of device that is related to the nerve essence and needs to modify the energy transmission of the body needs to bear great risks when assembling. If the body has a strong rejection reaction, it may die on the spot.

"call……"

He took a deep breath, reached out and flipped the switch hidden in the inner layer of the outer spine.

Crack clap!

The spine of the exoskeleton moved like a reptile, and each metal appendage began to knock up and down, trying to insert into the host's body.

Reagan took off his shirt,

The exposed back has been drawn in advance with some kind of induction fluid to draw a "ridge point distribution map", and these points will assist the exoskeleton in precise insertion.

Align your back with the activated exoskeleton spine as he turns his body.

The latter immediately detects the 'matchable point' and climbs up its back like a snag.

Feeling the cold metal appendages scratching his back, Ludwig Reagan didn't have any fear. He just turned his head and smiled at the woman he loved the most in his life.

"Wait for me a moment, I'll be fine soon."

That smile didn't last long.

The metal spine crawling on the back has stopped, and the appendages are looking for the corresponding [point]

Swish ~ The cold metal spikes instantly penetrate the body and insert into the spine, and the 'nerve integration' and 'energy storage transformation' are officially carried out.

ah!Heart-piercing screams echoed in the laboratory.

Reagan almost fainted directly,

The sound of pain touched Fay on the side, causing her simple thinking to react, and she slowly floated over to embrace Reagan in her arms.

slowly,
As the pain in his back gradually subsided, the extremely tired Reagan slowly fell asleep in the embrace, and fell sideways in the laboratory.

A strong and steady current flashed between the pupils that were about to close.

……

College

As usual, Yi Chen reported to his mentor the tasks he had received in Gethsemane.

Chamberson naturally saw what his student was thinking, "Are you really not satisfied with the 'dual-attribute relic'?"

"Let's give it a try~ Treat it as a mission trial. Wouldn't it be better if you can really find the 'three-attribute relic'?"

"The "Relic Incident" is completely different from the tasks you usually receive, because you need to contact the [passage] to go to the really dangerous old world area.

However, channels like this newly discovered channel that exists in the medium and thin gray areas are often safer.

And the "skin content" of your clothing can further ensure your activities there, and the monitors will also judge whether you are eligible to pass through the passage.

Now that I've decided to go, I won't say much.

To be on the safe side, I still bring a tube of "Twilight Silver Liquid"... Anyway, one bottle is enough, and the remaining amount is enough for your subsequent use. "

"it is good."

After bidding farewell to Chamberson, he followed to Zed's paradise. The always talkative teacher Zed didn't say much this time, and he didn't ask Yi Chen to have a special physical training before departure.

Instead, it is very rare to exhort:
"Explore carefully, don't lose your 'eyes' in it like I did."

In the rest of the time, Yi Chen plans to do a preparatory work that can affect the progress of the event.

【Street Area-Temporary Accommodation Area】

The corner room on the top floor, this is Jin's one-person rental house.

It's strange that Yi Chen, who was standing at the door, didn't smell the meaty smell from before.

Boom, boom, knock on the door several times, but no one answered.

"Well, it's almost ten o'clock in the evening, haven't you come back yet? Forget it, let's wait for the notification tomorrow and meet again."

Just when Yi Chen turned to leave,
Heavy footsteps came from the corridor, and Jin came up from the stairwell carrying a sack taller than her.

"Huh? William, why are you here... Thinking that you might leave in time tomorrow, you have used a lot of contacts to collect [advanced imitation meat] today, and you have to process all of them tonight. You came at a really bad time."

"It's okay, let's talk while doing it."

Yi Chen's purpose is very clear,

He wanted to take advantage of this important moment on the eve of the event to have an in-depth exchange with Jin, talk seriously about the upcoming relic incident, suppress Jin's crazy characteristics as much as possible, and reduce the instability of the team.

In a small, dark room filled with the smell of meat.

In order to reduce the turbidity of the clothes, the coats are put away,
The two were only wearing shirts, with the first and second buttons on the upper part unbuttoned, and the sleeves folded above the elbows.

Palms sometimes overlap, sometimes cross,
The diced meat was co-milled and squeezed on the equipment full of meat paste, and all the imitation meat was disposed of as much as possible before dawn.
