All the shots on the screen have been switched to drone aerial footage: one-third of the originally magnificent glacier has collapsed and sunk, forming a giant crescent-shaped sinkhole.

There was a large cloud of white dust and fog above the tiankeng that lasted for a long time, and the scene at the bottom of the tiankeng could not be seen clearly from the video.

"According to laser ranging, the depth of this sinkhole formed by the collapse of the glacier is more than 1,200 meters. The search and rescue team is currently formulating a rescue plan... Our station will follow up on the progress of the rescue operation, so please stay tuned."

"This is really weird..." Ke Lan muttered, "Hasn't the core area been cracked? How could it be sealed? Could it be that the group of people accidentally restarted the seventh-level mercury lock?"

The only thing that could make one third of the glacier sink underground is probably a destructive-level mechanism...

Just as Ke Lan was recalling the mechanisms in the glacial ruins, a beeping sound suddenly rang out, and a string of digital codes appeared on the screen.

"We have received a video communication request from the outside. Do you want to answer it?"

"Connected." Ke Lan said. The string of digital codes was the host serial number of Ivan's private clinic. It seemed that things over there should have been over.

After a flash of black and white snow, the hound's face appeared in the center of the screen. He tilted his head and winked at the camera for a long time before pinching his throat and saying, "Ke Lan? Are you in that glass jar?"

High-concentration LCL liquid has a function similar to one-way glass: people immersed in it can see things outside through the liquid, but people outside can only see a jar of slightly turbid orange-yellow liquid.

"It's me, I'm still alive." Ke Lan said to the old dog.

"From the sound of him, he has more strength. It seems that he has recovered well... By the way, have you hooked up with any beautiful nurses in the past few days?"

"There's no pretty nurse, only a retarded AI." Ke Lan complained, "A retarded AI that can't even change the TV channel."

"I don't really believe that. Do you know what the most important thing for nurses in private high-end nursing homes is when they are assessed for employment? First of all, it's appearance and figure, followed by medical skills, patience and other things..."

"Come on, from the time I was brought in till now, I haven't seen a single living person except for the driver and the handover personnel, they are all robots."

"That must be because Miss Soma was afraid that you would be unfaithful, so she withdrew all the medical staff for you. Haha...Okay, let's get down to business. The operation was successful, and the alienation process was successfully suppressed. Ivan woke up just half an hour ago."

"How does he feel?" Ke Lan asked hurriedly.

"Let him talk to you himself." The Hound took a step back, and Ivan walked to the screen with Natasha's support.

His arm had been completely removed, along with his entire shoulder and half of his chest cavity, and replaced with an artificial prosthesis - this was a special model custom-made from the prosthetics factory under the Soma Group, with slots specially reserved for burying stalagmite fragments.

"Ahem... Is that Ke Lan..." Ivan still looked a little weak, but this was just the aftereffect of waking up from cryogenic freezing. As long as he rested for a while, he would be back to normal.

"Ivan, are you okay? Are you used to the robotic arm? Can you hold the scalpel steadily? If there are any problems, ask Layton to help you debug it. If he can't handle it, let Lao Gou scold him." Ke Lan said with a smile.

"Ke Lan... I..." Ivan bit his lip and propped up the table with his mechanical arm. He quickly wiped his eyes with his other hand. "I won't say anything else... I'm saving your life. Whenever you need it in the future, just take it."

"Why would I take your life? You're a doctor, and I might need you to save me in the future. By then, let alone being even, I might even owe you a few lives... By the way, old dog, how did you 'deal' with that doctor?"

"According to your plan, we had him 'accidentally' come into contact with Ivan's mutant tissue when the operation was almost over, and then we told him the horror of these mutant cells... Hehe." The Hound laughed unscrupulously, "That kid almost peed himself out of fright. You didn't see it. His face was as pale as a piece of paper. When he implanted the stalagmite fragments into himself, he almost couldn't hold the tweezers firmly."

"Where is he now?"

"He has already gone back... But don't worry, he will never tell on you. Otherwise, the Security Bureau will tie him to the autopsy table first."

"It's better to be careful." Ke Lan nodded subconsciously, but suddenly remembered that the other party couldn't see him at all.

"That's it for now. When you're discharged from the hospital, we'll go out for a good meal together." The Hound said, "I'm going to hang up now. I've been extremely busy these past few days. There are a lot of things that need to be dealt with."

"good."

The screen flashed and turned back to the news channel of Ark TV Station One. However, the program "Morning News on the Ark" had ended and an advertisement for Maya Bio's high-end prosthetics was being broadcast.

Seeing this advertisement, Ke Lan couldn't help but think of the special agent captain who led the team to raid the exile settlement. For some reason, Ke Lan always felt a strange feeling towards that woman.

Especially when he recalled the look in that woman's eyes, this strange feeling became particularly strong.

Is it a threat? It doesn't seem quite right. Fear? Hatred? It doesn't quite fit.

Exclusion?

This word suddenly popped up in Ke Lan's mind... Yes, rejection! It was this feeling. When Ke Lan was detained by DAS for a short time before, he had the idea of ​​escaping more than once. However, the source of this idea was not because his personal freedom was restricted, but completely from that woman.

If possible, Ke Lan just wants to stay as far away from her as possible.

But the problem was that Ke Lan didn't feel any fear or anything like that. He just subconsciously felt that he had to stay away from that woman.

"This is really strange..." Ke Lan felt more and more confused the more she thought about it, "How about we check her information?"

Just when Ke Lan was about to ask Mary to help her contact Caroline, Mary spoke first: "It is detected that your injuries have completely healed. Do you need to leave the medical cabin?"

So fast? Ke Lan was stunned for a moment. He thought it would take at least ten days or half a month to soak... It seems that high-end products are expensive for a reason.

"Of course, and I will be discharged from the hospital immediately. I don't want to stay here any longer... Oh, by the way, is there a kitchen in this nursing home? Ask them to make me breakfast and send it to me, right now!"
