Chapter 153: New-Type Biomaterial Fusion Room
Huai Yu stepped out of the examination room, still feeling confused. She walked a few steps around the corner and then realized there was another examination room—
[New-Type Biomat Fusion Room]
For some reason, the name made her feel nervous.
She knocked on the door, but no one responded. After a moment of hesitation, she quietly turned the doorknob.
What greeted her was a layout similar to the previous examination room. The difference was the various prosthetic models displayed outside, each wrapped with different plant specimens, giving them a strange look.
Looking towards the transparent glass room—it appeared to be fully enclosed, tightly sealed, and the thickness was noticeably greater than the previous examination room.
Although there were people inside, no sound was coming out. Huai Yu also didn’t hear any noise from within, suggesting—It was soundproofed.
Inside, two doctors were holding notebooks and writing down something, while another doctor was closely monitoring the data on a screen.
As Huai Yu moved closer, she saw that the bed in front of them was firmly secured with straps, holding a familiar figure.
He was wearing a special hospital gown, and only the lower part of his right leg was visible. His body was trembling slightly, as though he was enduring tremendous pain.
Tense muscles, bulging veins on his arms, tightly clenched fists, and the stiffness in his remaining leg and foot—It resembled the state he had been in when he briefly left the medical chamber and was once again injured by nerve toxins.
Where the prosthetic should have been, there was instead a green foot and lower leg.
The green had a slightly oil-green, reddish-brown hue, resembling thousands of fine tendrils intertwined, stretching upwards.
Unfortunately, the upper part was blocked by the doctors, so Huai Yu couldn’t see anything else.
Instinctively, she held her breath, pressing her palm against the glass door. The noise inside was completely blocked, so she pressed harder against the glass and then managed to crack the door open just a small gap.
This gap was tiny, but it broke the soundproof barrier, allowing Huai Yu to hear the conversation inside clearly, “Heart rate and blood pressure are both at critical levels.”
“Fusion progress at 72%.”
“Pain threshold exceeds level 13.”
“Zhou Qian, stay awake. The fusion material requires clearer neural responses from you.”
“Hang in there, once the progress reaches 75%, the pain threshold will briefly drop to level 8.”
“About three more minutes—should we change the bite guard?”
“Wait until the pain drops, then we can take it off for a bit.”
“Prepare for muscle massage, cramping may occur once we reach 75%…”
“Zhou Qian, hang on a little longer! This new biomaterial is extracted from mutated ivy, and each stem has adhesive claws that firmly attach to your nerves… Excellent! This is the first time this ivy material has surpassed a 60% adaptation rate!”
“Yes! Keep going! This material grants an additional 3000 contribution points, along with the original 2800 points, plus your defense army subsidy. Your life will be worry-free from here on out.”
“75%!”
“The fusion progress is so fast!”
A sigh of relief echoed in the room.
The doctors, who had been facing away from Huai Yu, were now adjusting some settings. She could see Zhou Qian’s body had relaxed slightly, and one of the doctors quickly began massaging his limbs.
After a moment, Zhou Qian’s hoarse and muffled voice broke through, “What time is it?”
The doctor paused, instinctively glanced at the screen, and replied, “2:10 PM. It should be done by around 3:00 PM—after all, the last 25% of deep fusion will take longer.”
Zhou Qian murmured, as if tired and silent for a moment.
After a while, he spoke again, “Please tell the nurse, if… my sister comes, let her wait in the ward.”
“Don’t let her know I’m here—ah!!”
Suddenly, the screen in front of them began beeping urgently, “Beep, beep, beep!”
The fusion progress was rapidly increasing, and the pain threshold was also rising. The two doctors immediately sprang into action, “Quick, insert the bite guard, don’t let him bite his tongue!”
“How is the deep fusion progressing so fast? The calming agent hasn’t been fully administered!”
“Wow! This ivy material is fusing with the nerves so quickly!”
“Look at the body data! This is more stable and stronger than before his injury! If this is successfully mass-produced, injured soldiers wouldn’t need to retire!”
“Stop thinking about that nonsense! Retirement isn’t just about physical factors, the country is also trying to avoid soldiers suffering mental trauma from prolonged combat…”
“Zhou Qian! Are you still conscious? Can you hear me? Your data is looking excellent! If the fusion is successful, your body will be able to handle any normal work!”
“Look at these figures—many enhanced sensory abilities are beyond reach for most!”
“He’s enduring so much mentally—hurry! Administer the calming agent!”
…
At 2:45 PM, the door to the soundproof fusion room was pushed open, and the once-quiet office remained silent.
The doctor wiped the sweat from his forehead, wearing a satisfied smile. He opened the door and saw a young girl sitting quietly in a chair at the entrance.
Upon seeing him, she looked up and asked, “Is the prosthetic installed?”
Her face was small, her skin pale, and the slightly swollen skin around her eyes made her gaze even more intense. She watched him quietly, with great focus.
The doctor paused for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, it’s perfect. Are you Zhou Qian’s family? How long have you been here?”
Huai Yu hesitated for a second and then answered slowly, “I just arrived.”
The doctor secretly let out a sigh of relief before pointing towards the examination room. “The patient is still undergoing a simple clean-up. You can go in and see him in a bit.”
Huai Yu nodded silently, holding her basket and not saying a word.
About ten minutes later, another doctor came out. Upon seeing Huai Yu waiting by the door, he instinctively asked, “Zhou Qian’s family?”
Huai Yu nodded. “Yes!”
The doctor’s expression suddenly became complex, as if he wanted to say something but held back at the last moment.
He then pointed to the door. “He’ll be moved to the ward shortly. Go wait in the ward. After a night of rest, he can practice walking tomorrow. If all goes well, he’ll be able to go home in a week.”
Huai Yu nodded silently and walked back to the ward with her basket.
Indeed, medical staff quickly pushed Zhou Qian back to his original room.
The two doctors, who had participated in this milestone biomaterial fusion, dutifully followed to the ward, giving final instructions before leaving with satisfaction.
Back at the nurse’s station, the doctor couldn’t help but express his pride, “Having Zhou Qian as a family member must mean his sister trusts him a lot and is especially fond of him, right?”
