Chapter 717 "Doctor"

That crazy poor man - Nolan's mercenaries have begun to call that the weird guy who came to the base carrying a female corpse today. Although Hao Ren arrived here less than two hours ago, his story has already spread in this small station. I don’t know which guy with an open mind first figured out the whole process, and then who Who would spread the word with such a big mouth? Anyway, if Hao Ren goes out now, he will definitely receive a lot of attention.

However, Hao Ren didn't pay attention to this. He was currently concentrating on studying the body of the data terminal, which was certainly not inappropriate for children. He wanted to know how this second-generation evolver became the carrier of the data terminal by accident, because the Dream Plane is a real world, and everything that happens here should follow the laws of nature. Since the consciousness of the data terminal can be in a body, parasitized on a corpse, then this body must have parts that are compatible with the terminal's consciousness mode.

Finding this compatible part may restore the terminal's senses.

Hao Ren carefully removed the piece of cloth that was roughly wrapped as a bandage on the blond girl's body. The fatal wound that penetrated the chest and abdomen was still hideous, and since the blood had long since dried up, one could clearly see the silver-white tubes that grew with the body and were between machinery and biology. Hao Ren tried not to pay attention to the exposed skin on other parts of the girl's body, but with such a scary wound in front of him, he was not in much mood to observe her body.

The data terminal still has not regained its ability to sense, but it has established audio-visual sharing with Hao Ren. Now it can see the surrounding situation through Hao Ren's eyes. At this moment, it is also curiously observing its current appearance: even if it has a certain understanding of the world view Even for a broken machine, the experience at this moment is also novel and interesting.

"I guess it's the chip in the brain of the second-generation evolutionizer and the artificial nerves all over her body that are working." Hao Ren put on his gloves and carefully inspected the broken lines. "The operating mode of these parts should be closer to that of a machine." , your consciousness might be able to survive on them.”

"This computer thinks you are like a pervert now," when Hao Ren's eyes wandered over the girl, the data terminal complained unceremoniously, "What you are doing now is simply molesting the girl, and there is a perverted abuse. Corpse tendencies...ah, you stuck your hand into my belly!"

"If you don't plan to help with the analysis, just shut up," Hao Ren muttered in a low voice, which seemed to others to be talking to himself, "Look at these lines, they really grow with the body. The ultimate form of mechanical device, as sophisticated as a living thing..."

The data terminal also followed suit and commented: "Do you think my breasts are a little smaller now? Hmm... the breasts seem to be black? I don't like black. If you have a chance, can you help me change to a blue one?"

"Go away! Which one of us is the pervert?!" What Hao Ren hates most now is the PDA that can't stop talking, "And these breasts are not yours!"

"It is currently! And you dare to say that you didn't look at it just now? Don't deny it. This machine uses the same pair of eyes as you now. When you blink, this machine knows how many milliseconds it took."

"Why did I end up with such a piece of shit like you..." Hao Ren muttered helplessly, "Compared to this, I just reconnected a few disconnected lines. Do you feel anything?"

"This machine doesn't have any feeling. It doesn't know what the sense of touch in the human form is. Moreover, it is necessary for this machine to remind you that this body is dead. Can't you see that there is not even a trace of electrical signal in those lines? ?The biological and mechanical parts of this body have stopped functioning, and it won't have any effect if you connect a bunch of lines that have been offline for a long time."

Hao Ren sighed: "I know, in theory, it is impossible for a body that has completely stopped to carry a soul, but let's talk about the facts. Aren't you in her body now... And aren't the undead such as zombies and skeletons also unable to carry a soul? Can it move? This means that dead bodies can also function."

"The undead have their own special energy circulation. Their blood vessels no longer pulse, but there are other circulations and metabolisms in their bodies, such as magic or alchemical potions. Therefore, in a broad sense, the bodies of the undead are still 'alive'. "The data terminal was very serious at this time, "The situation of the body in front of you is different. It is completely dead and has stopped functioning. At least this machine can see it through your eyes. There are no moving parts inside this body. .”

"Yes, I tested the signals of these lines just now. They were all interrupted. It really can't explain which part of her you are living in now." Hao Ren sighed and stood up, "So let's go back to the starting point and scan again. . This time I checked the brain part. Maybe there is a chip that is using the remaining cellular energy to maintain operation and is offline..."

Hao Ren was just mid-sentence when a slight knock came from the door. He looked up unexpectedly and found a middle-aged woman with dark skin standing at the door. The middle-aged woman was staring at the room. The scene inside.

"The door is unlocked." The middle-aged woman said casually.

Hao Ren quickly took his hand out of the terminal's stomach (this is a weird saying), and at the same time suddenly remembered that he had been talking to the data terminal seemingly unconsciously - not only the conversation in his mind, but also the muttering out loud. He rubbed his hands: "What, did you just hear it?"

"I only heard the last few sentences," the middle-aged woman said as she took out a low-quality cigarette from her pocket and stuffed it into her mouth. She lit it and took a few puffs. "But I'm not interested in what you said. The doctor here, Nolan, asked me to handle one...come and see how your girlfriend is doing."

Hao Ren scratched his hair: "Um, I'm not crazy. I was just chatting with it."

The data terminal's mouth was not idle for a moment: "Do you think chatting with a corpse is not insane?"

"Shut up." Hao Ren shouted in his mind.

After hearing Hao Ren's words, the middle-aged woman just looked at him with strange sympathy. She had already heard about this man from Nolan, just as the other mercenaries thought - she felt that Hao Ren She was just a poor person who couldn't accept the fact that her partner died tragically and became crazy, so she didn't say much, just picked up a small black box at her feet and walked into the room: "Do you mind if I interrupt your solitude? I need to give your girlfriend a shot.”

Hao Ren said with a sad face: "Whatever you say is what you say...but don't say she is my girlfriend, okay?"

The woman who calls herself "doctor" has nothing in common with the medical staff in Hao Ren's impression. She does not wear a white coat, does not carry diagnostic equipment, and even has a cigarette in her mouth while working. She was wearing the same gray-black battle uniform as the other mercenaries, with a dull and weather-beaten expression on her face. Apart from not carrying a weapon, she was indistinguishable from the soldiers in this base in all other aspects. No one would suspect that she had After loading the gun, the combat effectiveness will be weaker than that of an ordinary soldier. Hao Ren watched the woman take out a silver-white, pistol-like vacuum syringe from a black suitcase, and asked casually: "Are all your doctors here dressed like this?"

"Doubt my medical qualifications?" The woman took out a metal tube from the small compartment of the box and stuffed it into the vacuum syringe. "Well, I do not have a license. After all, the last institution in the world that issued professional licenses closed down more than 20 years ago. , but I've dealt with more than triple digits of casualties, and that's better than any license."

As she spoke, she put the vacuum syringe against the terminal's neck. After a slight hiss, some substance was injected into the latter's body. Hao Ren looked at this scene with a strange expression. He didn't know the meaning of injecting potion into a corpse. He even suspected that the other party was specially sent by Nolan to cooperate with his "schizophrenic necrophilia": "You gave her the injection." What?"

"Nanomachine group," the "doctor" replied, "the simplest model, they will ensure that the body does not decay within a month, but it will run out of energy after a month... Oh, Nolan told me not to You brought up the issue of corruption before your eyes..."

The corner of Hao Ren's mouth twitched: "Well, it doesn't matter, I don't care... But then again, isn't the nanomachine swarm a very dangerous thing?"

He remembered the information he had searched on the Internet before, but in the rush of searching at that time, he did not have time to see the fate of nanotechnology after the accident. He thought that this technology had been sealed.

"In the eyes of you ultra-conservative natural people, all high technology should probably die," the "doctor" glanced at Hao Ren, "but without the nanomachine swarm, 99% of the people in this world would die from famine. And suffocation - how much land do you think can still grow natural plants? Where do you think the oxygen you breathe comes from? Thanks to the nanomachines, at least they feed humans."
