Volume 6: Mecha Contest Chapter 297 Self-Healing Ability
Three days later, North District 5, at 6:00 in the evening.
A pleasant symphony woke Ke Lan from his sleep. He threw off the quilt and sat up from the bed. After a moment of hesitation, he realized that the music playing in the room was the main part of the fourth movement of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, which was later called "Ode to Joy".
"Alright, alright, stop playing it. Listening to this song makes me feel like my neck is going to break, as if my head is going to fall off in the next second..."
"Your neck hurts because you had a stiff neck last night, Master." The smart butler Cooper replied calmly.
"...How long have I slept?" After returning to the Ark from the Bottomless Pit, dealing with the complicated aftermath almost exhausted his energy. In addition, he had not had a good rest for many days. After returning to his residence, he did not even take a shower and threw himself on the bed... Before his face touched the pillow, he had already fallen asleep.
"No wonder I got a stiff neck..." Ke Lan looked back and saw that the pillow had been kicked to the ground by him at some point, and it was covered with a layer of dirty dust.
"A total of 28 hours, 41 minutes and 06 seconds."
After hearing what Cooper said, Ke Lan felt hungry and his throat was so dry that it almost smoked. He quickly jumped out of bed, walked quickly to the water dispenser and poured a large glass of water. After drinking it in one gulp, he felt a little better.
"Cooper, is there anything to eat at home?"
"The owner did not buy any food before leaving home. Currently, the only food available to fill his stomach is a batch of convenience foods that are about to reach their expiration date."
"Okay, help me boil a kettle of water and cook some instant noodles first..." Ke Lan turned around and walked to the mirror on the wall. He was shocked to find that he hadn't taken care of himself for so many days. His stubble was almost one centimeter long, and he looked extremely sloppy.
"I'd better wash up first..." he thought silently.
The matter of the bottomless tiankeng had come to an end for the time being. As for the Hound's certification mission, it had naturally been passed without a doubt - the discovery of the core hub of the S-class ruins alone was enough for them to receive a mission reward of hundreds of millions of credit points, not to mention the living database buried in the secret passage.
However, Ke Lan did not tell anyone about the matter related to Subject No. 1197, and only told Hound and a few others - "the first human being to come into contact with extraterrestrial intelligent life." This title might bring too much trouble. If this matter were to get out, Ke Lan estimated that he would not have a single day of peace for the rest of his life.
Moreover, the most important point is that the big lizard obviously has an unpredictable personality. Ke Lan cannot guarantee that if humans conduct in-depth research and exploration on it, it will not cause it disgust... The gap between humans and it is too big. If it is determined to wipe out these "insects that make it feel noisy", no one can stop it.
Besides, with the current level of human technology, even if we know about the existence of giant lizards, it is difficult to make any progress in related research...
There's no point in saying it, and there's even a chance it could cause a genocide, so it's better not to say anything - at least that's what Ke Lan thought.
As for the wreckage of the Blasphemer mecha, Ke Lan simply threw it directly into the abyss at the deepest part of the ruins.
Ke Lan held a metal tube of shaving cream in one hand and a manual razor in the other. Although electric razors had been popular since the old era, Ke Lan still preferred this ritualistic, purely manual shaving method. Moreover, a manual razor could shave more cleanly than an electric one.
The sharp blade pressed against his cheek, scraping off the white foam and black stubble... At this moment, the cell phone on the bedside table suddenly rang. Ke Lan subconsciously turned his head, but his elbow accidentally hit the table, and immediately, a bloody wound appeared on his face.
Easy to get hurt, this is probably one of the main disadvantages of manual shaving.
"hiss……"
Ke Lan carefully stretched out his finger and touched the cut, but before his finger touched the wound, he found that the wound had healed... He raised his hand to wipe off the two drops of blood on his face, and was shocked to find that the skin underneath was smooth and white, without even a scar left.
The wound disappeared so quickly that it even skipped the scabbing step. If it weren't for the blood stains on his fingers, Ke Lan would have thought he was hallucinating.
"What's going on?"
Ke Lan looked at his face in the mirror, then at the razor in his hand, gritted his teeth, put his thumb on the blade, and cut it vertically.
This cut was much deeper than the one on my face, but it only took two seconds longer to heal. Just like before, there was no scab and no scar left.
"Why is this happening... Is there some change in my body ?" Ke Lan thought to himself... Rapid healing, this ability is usually only possessed by high-level biochemically modified people, but he has never even undergone a body modification surgery.
No, this self-healing ability was not something he had just acquired. As early as in the East 9th District, his body had purified itself of the redundant radiation in the body... So, could it be that this ability was also brought by that "holy object"?
Ke Lan seemed to have remembered something, and took out a pair of scissors from the drawer, and quickly cut open the bandage wrapped around the severed finger.
He originally planned to have a limb replanted , but now, the wound on the severed finger has completely healed, and the fracture has begun to show signs of growth...
Perhaps it won't be long before these two broken fingers can be restored to their original state...
The words of Subject No. 1197 could not help but echo in his mind again -
"Why are those bugs outside... your companions?"
"You and them...are obviously not of the same kind..."
"To you, they should be food, or slaves."
…
He originally thought that the big lizard was referring to the fact that he had inherited the Alpha civilization and had the ability to stop time, but now it seemed that the changes that had taken place in him were far more than that.
Ke Lan took a few deep breaths, then found a new bandage and rewrapped his finger... Then he walked back to the bed and picked up his cell phone.
It was a message sent by the hound. Everyone in the hunting group had dealt with their own affairs at this time. According to the previous agreement, they planned to have a celebratory dinner, and the location of the dinner was a hot pot restaurant recommended by Qin Zhao in the East Fourth District.
