Chapter 259: The Convert (Part 3)
Siliguri City.
Located in the Siliguri base city deep underground.
The captured Ed was being held in a special cell. He was a radar soldier of the 28th Division of the Indian Army.
There were nine other comrades in the same cell.
"Do you think we will be killed?" One of the young captives looked dejectedly at the low ceiling.
"Who knows..."
“Wuwuwu…”
Listening to the noisy conversation among his comrades, Ed's eyes were extremely empty as he stared quietly at the bed above his head.
As a Tamil, Ed did not have much sense of belonging to India, and he joined the army just to make a living.
Scenes from my memory emerged in my mind.
parents……
Brothers and sisters…
And the boss who bullies others...
Ed was not too worried about his family, or rather, his position in the family was not actually important. After all, there were six children in his family and he was the fourth child, otherwise he would not have joined the army.
Just when he was emptying his mind and lying on the bed, confused about life.
Several jailers appeared at the cell door.
After opening the cell door, one of the jailers said several times in several languages:
"Come with me. If you don't want to be shot, don't do anything tricky."
A few days ago, some prisoners who thought they were agile tried to kidnap the jailer, but they were beaten to pieces on the spot.
The miserable conditions of those unfortunate ones were specially presented to the prisoners so that they could understand their situation.
Ed naturally didn't want to die, so he walked out of the cell obediently.
In the cold, dim corridor.
There was only the sound of footsteps and heavy breathing.
The 10 prisoners were obviously a little nervous.
After twists and turns for twenty minutes, the group arrived at a relatively large room.
The temporary warden, Bai Qinran, put down the documents in his hand, glanced at the prisoners who looked nervous, and supported his chin with his hands crossed:
"I have some sad news for you. India has given up on redeeming you. You now have two choices. One is to work in a prisoner-of-war factory as a prisoner. The other is to become a temporary convert and work for Assam."
The 10 prisoners looked at each other, not knowing what to choose for a moment.
Bai Qinran reminded: "Don't try to get away with it. If you choose to become a convert, you will have to swear an oath under the flag of Assam, and we will record it, so you'd better think it through."
Gulu! The faces of the captives changed slightly.
Obviously someone does have ulterior motives.
But Bai Qinran's words directly shattered the little plans in their hearts.
There are only two choices before us now.
Either remain loyal to India or go to work in a prisoner-of-war factory.
Or change the flag and pledge allegiance to Assam.
Moreover, Bai Qinran deliberately asked this question in front of the 10 captives with the purpose of telling them not to harbor illusions. If they chose to surrender to Assam , they should surrender thoroughly and not try to be clever by being in Cao's camp but having their hearts still with Han.
A captive who was originally a native of Assam was the first to speak: "I am willing to do things for Assam."
"Ruth Wa, right?" Bai Qinran asked as he made a tick on the tablet with the sensor pen in his hand.
Ruth nodded: "Yes."
As the first person to try it out appeared, others soon followed suit.
Including Ed and Root, seven captives chose to become temporary converts, while the remaining three were more stubborn and unwilling to surrender to Assam.
Bai Qinran didn't care too much about their choice, the opportunity was there.
If you resist Assam in your heart, it means that the cost of transformation will increase. There is no shortage of people in the Assam branch now, so if you don't want to, don't force it.
Soon, prisoners such as Ruth and Ed who chose to surrender were taken away by special staff and sent to a prisoner reform camp.
The prisoner reform camp was located on one side of the temporary prison.
After being assigned new dormitories, the instructors asked them to take a shower and maintain personal hygiene first, then change clothes and gather.
The instructor in charge brought the washed new recruits to the hospital at the base and gave each of them a comprehensive physical examination.
Although temporary converts are not new humans, they still need to be injected with biochips. However, the biochips of temporary converts do not have access to the host and only exist as a secret surveillance system.
Only when temporary converts pass a series of tests and become true converts can they become new humans.
Ed only felt that after he lay down on the hospital bed, he quickly fell into a deep sleep. He didn't know what happened afterwards.
When he woke up again, four hours had passed.
A doctor wearing special glasses came over with a test report in his hand: "You are in good health, but your tooth decay is serious. You need a comprehensive dental surgery."
"Uh...how much does it cost?" Ed asked subconsciously. He did have severe tooth decay and was in so much pain that he couldn't eat a few days ago.
The doctor placed the tablet in front of Ed and said, "The money will be deducted from your future salary. For 4 cavities, plus teeth cleaning, whitening, and correction, the total is 860 gold dollars. Just press your fingerprint."
Ed did not hesitate about this. He was planning to join Assam, so he was naturally not worried that the other party would betray him. After all, he was already dead.
After pressing the fingerprint, a record of the medical contract immediately popped up on Ed's personal panel on the tablet page.
And Rutte, who was in the next bed, had one eye blinded in the battle. He also signed a medical contract for eye treatment on the doctor's advice.
The next day, after completing training and cultural classes, Rutt, Ed and others came to Siliguri First Hospital.
The two of them took the biological phones they got today and went straight to their respective departments without any need to do anything fancy or even register or queue up.
Ed waited for half an hour, and the cell phone wizard automatically reminded him that it was his turn for surgery.
"Ed? From the recruit camp?" the head nurse asked.
Ed pulled out his phone.
After both parties confirmed their identities and the operation, the head nurse let Ed lie on the bed and cleaned his mouth.
After a while, the surgeon came to the bed, picked up his tablet and took a look: "Ed, four cavities, teeth cleaning, whitening and correction?"
The head nurse nodded: "The identity and content of the operation have been confirmed."
"Let's get started!" The surgeon inserted the tablet into the pocket of his work exoskeleton.
The head nurse secured Ed's body and placed a special patch in his ear canal, operating the operating table's medical assistance computer.
Soon, Ed's dental nerves and part of his oral nerves were blocked by a biochip hidden in his body using special hormones.
"Anesthesia is complete."
The surgeon acted quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, directly extracting Ed's four rotten teeth, then selected four artificial teeth of similar size from the artificial crowns and inserted them directly into the gaps left after the teeth were extracted.
Then, a rapid dental pulp growth agent is injected between the artificial tooth and the alveolar bone.
In less than twenty minutes, the four artificial teeth grew together with the alveolar bone, and there was almost no difference between them and natural teeth.
The surgeon then roughly corrected Ed's teeth and used a quick dental repair agent to fix the position of his teeth.
The last step is cleaning, whitening, and fine-tuning the bite shape of the upper and lower teeth.
The whole operation took more than two hours.
After the nerve block was removed, Ed only felt a little pain in his teeth, but it was not as painful as when he had his wisdom teeth removed.
The surgeon immediately drove him away: "That's enough. Don't eat hard food these days."
"Is that all?" Ed was confused.
