Steel steam and flame

Adelaide sighed and stopped talking. Welch realized that he was a little emotional and closed his mouth.

"We are still too young." Adelaide said this after walking a long distance. Welch turned his head and glanced at Adelaide, and he understood what it meant.

Arriving at the family biological experiment area, the rain became heavier. Adelaide glanced at her watch out of habit. It was now half past nine. The biological experiment area, which was completely white under the lights, made it difficult for him to move forward. Standing in front of the metal gate, Adelaide paused for more than half a minute before remembering to take out the password card and put it into the card slot on the side.

In the laboratory maintained at a constant temperature, the air made the two of them feel a rare sense of warmth. They walked straight to their destination and met the person in charge of Ovelia's treatment on the way.

"Professor Lista, how is the situation?" Adelaide said hello to the white-haired Professor Lista in front of him, his eyes unconsciously looking at a report the professor was holding.

Professor Lista nodded in return and motioned for the two of them to follow him.

"We are about to go there, you can go in and have a look." Professor Lista clapped the document in his hand, "The family's top brass issued an order not long ago, requiring us to treat Miss Ovelia with all our strength. Although I don't know the specific reason, I I think this will be the first good news for you."

"As for Ovelia's situation, it is much better than Adelaide when you just sent her back to the family. There is no need to worry about her life. The medical level within the family is still good. In fact, it is not a big deal. The treatment operation, but... you know in your heart that recently, due to the influence of the Chira Andi family, almost all the forces in the four directions have focused entirely on research related to dragons. Even Webley like The arms dealers, I heard, also relied on money and various interests to bring together a large circle of professors in this field under their company."

"So this news is half good and half bad. According to the internal opinions of the family, it is no longer possible for Ovelia to get out of the culture jar in a short time. After all, her situation is very rare, and she has nothing to do with dragons. He is in a special state and will receive special treatment. The left side of the body, which was already nearly dead, was cut into pieces by sniper bullets. If there was not a spine in the middle that absorbed most of the destructive force, the whole body would have been broken into two pieces. It's very likely to happen. But according to what you said, Adelaide, after Ovelia fell off the armor, the cab also fell down behind it and hit Ovelia. It saved her in another sense.”

Professor Lista explained: "Perhaps this is what we often call a coincidence. There are a large number of proliferated tissues of type II organisms in the cab. They started from the huge wound and invaded Ovelia. In a short time, a simple heart was simulated in her body, so that she would not die immediately. Within two weeks, many professors in the family were discussing this matter. Not only for me, but also for many other people, this matter It's an exciting thing." Lista realized at this moment that this sentence seemed inappropriate, "I'm sorry, but we also feel sorry for what happened to Ovelia."

Adelaide and Welch shook their heads.

"There are too many phenomena that we have never seen before. Even if we want to cure her immediately, it is very difficult. And the family also has orders to collect information. This makes us feel a little unable to start. But In more than ten days, we have separated Ovelia from most of the second-type biological tissue. This girl has a very strong will. Although she is still in a coma, through the detection machine, we have basically determined that she is The consciousness still exists intact and has not been eroded by the second-type creatures.”

While talking, the three of them walked through the long passage and came to a door. Professor Lista opened the door and saw other researchers wearing white coats coming and going inside. In the center of the wide room, Ovelia was currently soaking in a huge glass jar filled with green nutrient solution.

It was an irregular mass of blood-red tissue. They were like twisted muscles, wrapping Ovelia up, leaving only a small half of his face outside. The tissue was covered with ferocious blue blood vessels, and there were fine lacerations around it. The light red tissue underneath was also stretching and squirming very regularly.

"The current situation is like this. Even if it is possible for the processed second-type biological tissue to regain vitality, in our imagination, such a situation will never happen." Professor Lista said in One side sighed and said, "It is difficult for the dozen or so adaptive suppressor tubes on the armor to suppress their vitality. Only after increasing the number of suppressor tubes implanted has the relatively stable state now emerged. I don't know. Whether Ovelia's desire to survive affected them, this phenomenon is very abnormal. We did not immediately separate Ovelia from this last mass of tissue, which is also for this reason. Now Ovelia's life All activities can only be provided by this mass of organization.”

Lista approached the glass jar and pointed at the lacerations.

"These wounds are self-formed and function like the stomata of plants. They are used to swallow nutrient solution in order to obtain basic materials and energy. While maintaining their own life activities, they also maintain Ovelia's life. The current relationship between the two It's more like symbiosis, but it is undeniable that with Ovelia's own will, this relationship is indeed changing. She is taking back more active power. What we can help her is to start from this direction, Depending on the state of the two, use a suppressor tube to gradually limit the life activities of the tissue. When Ovelia wakes up from the coma, I think it is time for her to come out."

"It's just going to take a while," Adelaide added.

"That's true. It's not something that can be completed in a few days." Professor Lista looked at Adelaide, "Actually, if you don't come here today, I will make a special trip to find you in a few days."

Adelaide had the right look of confusion on her face at the right time.

"I still need more detailed information. Especially about the tissues of these second-type organisms, their activity level is somewhat beyond my imagination. You know, it shouldn't be like this without the influence of external factors." Liss Professor Ta said, "We have detected abnormal levels of substances in the separated flesh and blood. You can think of them as tranquilizers that everyone often uses. The dosage exceeds the standard many times. If there is no external artificial injection, I don’t think they are produced by themselves. At least now, except for a very small number of people, this substance can only be extracted artificially.”

"When you go back, you can take a good look at who around Ovelia or among the people she met, who you subconsciously felt was abnormal. Of course, this kind of abnormality does not refer to strength, but to itself. .”

Almost at the same time, in the highest conference room within the Astus family, a group of people over a hundred years old, accompanied by their respective secretaries or assistants, held the second important meeting in the past two weeks on time.

The fan-shaped layout of the seats surrounds a huge curtain in the center, where a magnetic panel screen is being used to display the things pulled out from the storage mechanism of the armor differential machine - all the pictures captured by the camera and temperature sensing device.

"I think it is necessary to show this information to those in the Holy Emperor's Hall." When the scene ended and turned gray, a middle-aged man stood up in the middle of dozens of people, and his voice suddenly spread throughout the room. The entire conference room was stunned, "We can't just leave these matters to ourselves."
