056. Good News, The Doctor Said I Don’t Need Treatment, I’ll Be Fine After Death

  Good News, The Doctor Said I Don’t reatment, I’ll Be Fier Death

  "I don’t care about your flirting, but at least don’t disturb the patients here."

  The woman wore a worn but white b coat. She had short hair on one side, while the other side was covered with a stainless steel alloy pting, clearly revealing where the inal bionic scalp had fallen off, exposing the ied circuit and brain-mae interface of her right prosthetic eye.

  She held a boratory beaker taining a bluish-green fluorest liquid, pining as she sipped the eerie solvent.

  The doctor's appearance wasn't attractive. Much of her bionic skin had fallen off, exposing the eleic circuits beh, making her look particurly grim. She wore smoky eye makeup, which made her look somewhat alluring, but the overwhelming smell of various medications emanating from her made it hard to imagine she was a doctor.

  "No, no, it's not like that!" Qiu Ran waved her hand hurriedly. "We're just panions—"

  "Sorry, doctor." Li Aozhi bowed his head apologetically. "We didn’t notice we had reached the ic. It’s my fault."

  As he spoke, he removed his mask, revealing his handsome features and well-defined facial structure, his gray eyes filled with siy.

  "Hmm, you’re quite handsome. For the sake of your colgen-filled youthful face, I’ll let it slide." The doctor raised an eyebroursed her lips. "Go where you o go, but remember to keep quiet. I still have patients resting here."

  "We’ll leave soon. But before that, I want to ask if you have any suitable medications for sale." Li Aozhi asked. "I have a friend who needs a rare medie."

  "A sger ing to a doctor for medie? Don’t you all trust only your own synthesized stuff?" The doctor was quite curious. "Go ahead, I’m curious what medie could make a sger break the norm and e to me."

  She became ied, picked up the beaker, and tilted her head back to gulp down the fluorest solvent.

  Li Aozhi said, "ZX-102, Dr. Siqi."

  Crash—

  The beaker shattered on the ground, breaking into pieces. Li Aozhi slightly tilted his head, dodging the bde that popped out from the back of her hand, its green core looking particurly deadly. He said calmly:

  "Emerald Dream Fang—produced by Leif Industries, military-grade prosthetic. The syieurotoxin has a lethal dose of 0.2 milligrams for adults. A scratch would meah for an ordinary person."

  A ductive wire popped out from Siqi’s neck, attag to the back of Li Aozhi's ear. She closed her mouth, her voice transmitting through bone du to Li Aozhi:

  "Shut up, it detect vocal cord vibrations—who sent you?"

  Li Aozhi raised his hands slightly, indig no harm. "Introduced by Dmitry. Don’t worry, I’m a short-lived person. I don’t care about your background in the Abyss, nor will I publicize it."

  Siqi’s face was expressionless, but her voice went straight into Li Aozhi's mind:

  "Heh, that old craftsman. Then you really are a doomed man—what's your purpose for asking about ZX-102?"

  "I’m curious about what happened in the Abyss two years ago. I heard they were dug human experiments and achieved some results. I thought maybe it could treat me." Li Aozhi’s tone was flippant, fitting the persona of a sger.

  "You?"

  Siqi raised her left hand, a probe popping out from her fiip, which she pricked into Li Aozhi's neck. Her eyes flooded with data streams, then she sneered:

  "You don’t reatment. Geic colpse. Just die."

  "You analyze quickly, better than Abyss physis."

  "Quick, my ass. You must possess a high-risk Are ability—what level? Just a g your telomeres aic gave me trypophobia."

  Dr. Siqi sneered.

  "Sigma? Upsilon? It ’t be Psi, right?"

  Li Aozhi gently moved her bde aside, calmly saying:

  "Omega."

  Swish!

  Dr. Siqi retracted the bde into her hand, looking like she’d seen a ghost:

  "Omega-level Are ability isn’t something mortals trol. Yeic is already shattered by the Are force, your telomeres severely damaged. If you keep using it like this, you absolutely won’t live for awo years."

  "Abyss Humanitarian Relief anization, aren't they studying this stuff? The impact of Are abilities on human genes and the activation of extraordinary powers by the apocalyptic force..."

  Li Aozhi said calmly:

  "I heard about the ZX-102 i. It seems the Abyss Humanitarian Relief anization isn’t a monolith. Since Dr. chose to defect, you must know something about that i, right?"

  "Who told you that?"

  "A woman named Ze Qi."

  "Huh... a bck market dealer, right. It seems you’ve been to the Abyss—no, maybe this Are ability was awakened with their help, right?"

  Li Aozhi her firmed nor denied.

  "Omega-level Are ability, it's a wonder you withstand it. This power isn’t meant for humans. Has the Abyss Humanitarian Relief anization gone pletely mad?"

  Dr. held her forehead, muttering to herself for a moment. Then she knocked on the door panel, retracted the ductive wire, and turo go inside, waving her hand:

  "e in, and close the door."

  Li Aozhi dider immediately. He gnced around the room, notig three suspected trap setups, then raised his hand and poihem out.

  "If you’ve got nothing to hide, just ighem." Dr. Siqi y ba a chair, her feet propped on the desk, looking uned.

  Only then did Li Aozhi step inside, sitting opposite the sultation table. Qiu Ran followed closely, closing the door. She suddenly sensed something, turned her head, and immediately met a wary gaze—a boy lying on the bed, covered with a thin b, his bck eyes cautiously watg the two newers.

  "Don’t be afraid, Most." Dr. Siqi forted. "These two are not like your bastard boss. They are still people with a sce."

  Hearing this, the boy withdrew his suspi, tugging the bo cover his head.

  Qiu Ran g the lower half of the b, where the bulge didn’t match a normal body structure.

  "This child is..."

  "He wandered with a mert voy. His boss forced this child, not yet ten years old, to carry heavy loads. He fell in the snow and soon after, his legs froze and rotted."

  As Siqi spoke, she threw a skull to Li Aozhi:

  "This is his boss's skull. Hand it to Dmitry ter and have him make a ball for me. The old guy saw my water collector and said he wouldn't go unless I gave it to him for free."

  "A simple favor." Li Aozhi weighed the skull. "You ed it quite well."

  "It’s for the child. ’t be careless." Siqi said indifferently.

  Qiu Raated to speak.

  The people of the outer world were truly fierd savage...

  "Let’s talk about ZX-102." Li Aozhi knocked oable, returning to the main topic. "Dr. Siqi, I heard that Nurse Nordley Crow used to be in charge of ZX-102’s care... What exactly is ZX-102?"

  "A child."

  "...What did you say?"

  "A child, less than a year old."

  Siqi rubbed her temples, saying:

  "ZX-102 was a baby adopted by the professor. We named her 'Snow'. Nordley was young then, and she worked with Assistant Physi Anna. At that time, the professor started a proje 'Snow'."

  "A project," Qiu Ran’s pupils shrank. "You experimented on that child?"

  "Yes." Siqi said gravely. "The rumors about the Abyss Humanitarian Relief anization ier world are true."

  "tinue."

  Li Aozhi’s tone unsciously became cold:

  "What was the Abyss Humanitarian Relief anization’s project?"
