Chapter 37 Acute Exhaustion (Early Morning)
Night City is a large city with a population of 7 million.
A high degree of urbanization has brought a variety of architectural wonders, and loose and corrupt public security governance has formed its unique urban style.
NCPD can control it as they please, but citizens have the original right to repay blood with blood and live freely in the worst city in the United States.
Feeling the stench coming from the sewers, listening to the wind blowing from the distance, mixed with the sound of gunfire——
Lille suddenly said: "Night City is a bit too urbanized."
The car has undergone some slight changes in appearance to avoid being detected, and will be disposed of after entering the city.
"Live like this for ten thousand years, until my son takes over."
V, the passenger, hummed a tune and put one hand on the car door, feeling everything familiar.
Jack, who was driving the car, showed an interested expression: "What song are you singing? Was it written for Saburo Arasaka? His son is taking over."
V pointed to Lear who was lying on the back seat: "Ask him--I think it's quite fun anyway, but it doesn't make sense to a poor guy like you."
After saying that, V shook his head. Sighing, it feels like there is a sad barrier between us.
Looking at it made Jack’s teeth itch.
"So what did you do in Atlanta? Did you really make a lot of money?"
Lille replied: "Not that much, if you really use it, it will be gone after a while. ”
"Then why are you coming back?"
V said: "Do you still remember that cyber monster - I was lucky enough to kill him, but I think it is a bit difficult to kill a cyber monster every day "High."
"I'll go!" Jack was shocked, "Were you involved in that? So what exactly is going on with Kang Tao?" Is there a war in the military? "
"The real situation is much more tragic than what was said on TV. Just like what I said, there were sparks and lightning all the way, and the guy broke the asphalt road with his kick.
I am afraid there were two platoons of military soldiers that day, loaded with guns and live ammunition, and then I used Nekomata to kill everyone——"
As V pretended to raise his sniper rifle biubiu twice, Lille interrupted ruthlessly: "He's bragging, just know that we made a small profit in this matter."
V spread his hands. He rolled his eyes, winked with Jack, pointed at Lear, and mouthed: "Old cunt."
Then he pointed at himself: Honest man, listen to me.
Jack freed up a hand and gave a thumbs up: Do you want to take one with me?
V nodded: I will take you one.
Lille didn't want to continue complaining about these two buddies. The first priority was to go to Lao Wei's clinic for a check-up.
Since the car entered the viaduct, he has been feeling more and more sleepy, and his eyes have even begun to turn black and dizzy.
"Lille?" V glanced behind him and found that Lear had closed his eyes. Eyes open, but it doesn't look so peaceful.
The body temperature dropped sharply, and the lips turned white.
“Damn it, Jack, drive faster, Lille seems to be sick again——”
"Understood - it seems there are two waves of people ahead who are about to fight."
"I'll handle it." V took out the all-night pistol and stuck his head out with half his body.
The two vans in front were driving side by side.
On one side was Valentino and on the other side was the Sixth Street Gang. The young boy in the car was talking trash, and suddenly there was a gunshot from behind -
"It's all him Mom, get away!”
The young boy in the van looked behind him when his head heated up. He scanned with his prosthetic eyes and saw that V had opened up his list of implanted prostheses——
I saw that V’s list of implanted prostheses was all full. It is a combat prosthesis: subcutaneous armor, recoil control, reinforced tendons, bone reconstruction, bionic joints, Klenchikov, neural coordinator, blood pump, reaction coordinator
Then they all retracted their heads into the car. ——
“I’ll go, cyberpsychosis!”
“Ha——”
Lille felt like a ball of fire was stuffed into his chest, and the temperature exploded from the center to both sides, just like the first time he was given a shot of medicine by V.
Opening his eyes, he was now on the operating table, and the doctor was none other than Lao Wei.
Arrived at the clinic? Did I fall asleep?
"Slow down, kid, slow down, your situation is very bad. If Jack and V hadn't acted quickly, you might not have woken up."
"What happened?" I opened my mouth and realized that I was already on a ventilator.
He saw V sitting aside, seemingly not as good as before, and Jack standing nearby, looking a little complicated.
Lao Wei wiped his glasses and said: "You used that thing again, right? And it wasn't used lightly." "No way, life forces me."
"Alas" Lao Wei looked at the ceiling, "I have to say, your will is as strong as steel, but the prosthetic body triggered a severe immune response and increased the burden on the body. This is not done by will. It can be overcome.
This violent prosthetic system accelerated your original problems, especially yesterday.
When you activate the prosthesis in your spine, oxygen consumption rises rapidly, completely overwhelming your respiratory system.
Since last night, my lungs have collapsed acutely, resulting in insufficient oxygen supply, which is why I fell into coma. "
"You mean Sian Westan? "
Old Wei nodded: "To be honest, now I feel more and more that it is two different things from the Si'an Westan on the market. It is simply a prosthetic body for suicide. Human beings can't bear it at all. This kind of pressure.
And you are even weirder. Your brain consumes far more energy than ordinary people. After running at overspeed for many times, the burden on your already not very good internal organs becomes even heavier.
The lungs are the first organ to undergo chronic to acute failure, and as long as you continue to use the combat prosthesis, this is just the beginning. ”
Liel looked at the ceiling, his brain took in oxygen, and his thinking slowly became clearer.
The operating room was very quiet, everyone was waiting for someone to speak.
In the end, it was Lille who spoke first: "Let's get the synthetic lungs first. It's impossible to lie here all the time. In addition to the synthetic lungs, you can also give me a set of biological monitoring, which must be top-notch. "
Lao Wei forced out a smile: "I forgot that you are rich, but there are other problems. Your body is too weak.
It is difficult for your own respiratory system to meet the minimum requirements, and now your lungs are experiencing acute failure. Installing synthetic lung lobes may actually cause lung necrosis. "
"What should we do? Leer's head was very clear, "Should I go find a living lung transplant?" "
"It's a good idea, but the probability of other problems caused by the immune response is greater, and you will have to rely on drugs to survive in the future. "
After another period of silence, Lao Wei said: "Maybe you should enjoy the rest of your life. ”
V looked at Lille silently, planning to wait for Lille’s final decision.
If Lille chooses to retire, then she respects Lille's choice, but from now on the two of them will be on different paths.
Considering Lille's lifespan, maybe he will die suddenly in another half a year at most, and then in another two years, no one will be able to remember this friend.
At this moment, new news was received from another world in Lille.
[A new event has occurred: Matt has found an expert in genetic biology for you, Professor Connors Cotter]
[Professor Connors is an expert in genetic biology Expert, he is very interested in the phenomenon of DNA disintegration occurring in you and invites you to join his research team. 】
[You have chosen to agree. 】
[Professor Connors’ research is in its infancy. They have tried to combine the DNA of different spiders and achieved good success. Now he wants to study lizard DNA]
[According to what he said Says this research may give you enough energy to shake off your fading cellular vitality. 】
【However, the technology has reached a bottleneck, and more details are needed. 】
Lille made a decision immediately——
Technology that did not exist in 2011 will exist in 2076.
"Lao Wei" Lille spent a lot of effort to sit up, "It's too early to retire now, what can 500,000 do?
I will find a lung - anyway, I have money , just use the one from Moore Technology, and prepare to install the synthetic lung lobes.
As for the problem you mentioned, use immunosuppressants first, and I will think of other solutions."
"That's right! "V stood up happily, "As an old friend, I will give you a 20% discount on where you can help me!"
Lear smiled: "Shouldn't it be free?"
Jack also showed an expression of appreciation: "Amigos (friends), not everyone can face death with this attitude, but fortunately I There is still a chance to see if you are as magical as V said."
"You will see it - Jack"
Lao Wei looked at the three people in the operating room and smiled. Shaking his head——
Maybe death will come one day, but courage can dispel the haze.
