Polio was young, and he had been tossed and turned for an entire night. His mood had changed drastically, so he unconsciously lay on the floor and fell asleep halfway through the charge. Even though he was fast asleep, he still half-hugged the cold and hard mechanical arm to his chest, using his body temperature to warm it up. This position was not too comfortable, so the little fellow's brows were constantly furrowed. Occasionally, he would even move his body.
Luo Nan was not sleepy at all. He sat cross-legged in the darkness, watching the little boy beside him. His mind was still filled with the emotional stirrings that arose from this. There were also chaotic and distracting thoughts from his rhythm and plans that had been completely disrupted.
The underground karst cave was quite stuffy, especially after the blackout. The equipment had stopped working, and ventilation was a problem. Luo Nan felt very uncomfortable. Luo Nan grabbed the thick and heavy cloak to give himself a gust of wind. His fingers made contact with his chest as he rose and fell. The sensation was soft with a hint of hardness. His chest swelled up slightly, forming a clear contrast with the surrounding muscles.
Luo Nan was stunned for a moment. He immediately recalled that this was the biochemical reactor.
The biochemical reactor had been remolded. After his somatic cells were initialized by the arrangement of tinder within the furnace, they were transformed into fully functional stem cells that proliferated and split. In a certain sense, it was already a part of his body. It was his external organ. There would be no difference even if he took it and sliced it.
In comparison, the other artificial muscles that were produced by the biochemical reactor were constructed together with the exoskeleton armor. Their structure was based on Luo Nan's stem cells, and they were modulated according to the formula. The structural strength was similar, but it was more suitable for electromagnetic configurations.
Reality proved that Luo Nan's physical strength was a bit lacking. At that time, he had used two portions of the substrate to create an "electromagnetic muscle membrane structure" that was far larger than the furnace body. However, when it came to actual combat experiments, he had only created a "paradigm" before everything was blown to smithereens. Only the biochemical reactor remained. It enjoyed the same safety mechanism as Luo Nan's main body.
The biochemical reactor's various functional areas had already been restored, and its volume had increased by a bit. It was embedded in the juncture between his chest and abdomen, like a demonic insect that had pierced into his flesh and bones.
Luo Nan used his fingertips to poke and prod at the biochemical reactor. These were all subconscious movements, and he used this opportunity to organize his thoughts. After a moment, he finally had a clear plan, and the inside of the biochemical reactor correspondingly changed.
Luo Nan waited for the corresponding functional areas within the reactor to start operating. He extended his hand and touched Polio's deformed and undeveloped arm with his fingertips. He didn't make any other movements, but a collection tube originating from the biochemical reactor did a slight extension. It collected a bit of Polio's skin tissue and stored it in the storage area.
This action was almost exactly the same as what Li Yiwei and Ren Qi had done earlier. However, the two of them were collecting the special secretions of a mutated human. Luo Nan just wanted to collect a bit of Pineapple's cell tissue for an experiment.
He was thinking that the biochemical reactor's tissue regeneration technology was exactly what Polio needed.
Luo Nan couldn't be considered a philanthropic person, but since he ran into her, he would obviously help if he could.
Unfortunately, after a short period of analysis and experimentation, the virtual brain system gave him a disappointing result. Indeed, the biochemical reactor could rely on the arrangement of the furnace and a special formula to realize the initialization of somatic cells. Through the absorption of energy and nutrients, the cells could undergo rapid fission and multiplication, forming body tissue that was no different from the main body. It could even mutate into a special creation like the electromagnetic muscle membrane structure.
However, the premise of all this was the ownership of the biochemical reactor and the control of the tinder.
Luo Nan used his unique soul strength mode and the structural characteristics of his body and soul, which were blended into one after his formal awakening, to serve as the foundation for the biochemical reactor's activation and interdependence.
Simply speaking, once bound, this Knight-level, Basic Colonization Type Biochemical Reactor could only be used by Luo Nan alone. He could also initialize Polio's cell tissue and reconstruct the tissue structure. However, this was a new product that had absorbed the characteristics of Polio's fleshly body. Luo Nan could use it, but if he transplanted it to Polio, the consequences of rejection, genetic pollution, mutation, and other unpredictable consequences would come one after another. Luo Nan vowed not to give up until the child was tormented to death.
Taking ten thousand steps back, even if Luo Nan reformatted the biochemical reactor, erased all traces of himself, and gifted it to Polio. With Polio's current state and the foundation of his body and soul that lacked the support of extraordinary strength, it was impossible for him to realize ignition and activation.
The strong always inadvertently possessed something, and vice versa.
Luo Nan spat out a mouthful of turbid air. He temporarily gave up on the idea of borrowing the biotech of an unknown civilization to treat Polio. Let's return to a more realistic level.
That fellow with the vicious nickname was sharpening his blade, preparing to turn him into reserve rations.
"Brain Demon … … Who's that?"
Luo Nan had a good habit of asking his secretary if there was something he couldn't decide on. He once again opened up the closed system network. Now that he had to hide from Sister Yueyin, the only person he could consult was Cat Eyes.
"What Brain Demon?"
Cat Eyes answered a few calls before arriving at Gear on the north bank of Acumen College in the middle of the night. She was yawning, wanting to take a nap. She was conserving her energy in preparation to cover for that extremely unreliable boss tomorrow morning.
Her favorite place to sleep was naturally the bar counter with alcohol. Therefore, she went to the public activity room on the second floor of the basement. Because she was sleepy and drunk, her brain was a bit sluggish when she heard this unfamiliar name. She paused for a moment before remembering, "Brain Demon? That moronic fugitive who believes in 'eating his own brain'? "
"That's a bit too much information."
"One moment you don't have money, and the next moment you're a wanted criminal. That's a lot of information, okay? Don't tell me you didn't pass the credit rating? Have you already fallen to the point of capturing wanted criminals to earn money? "
"Cough, how is that possible? Actually, it's like this … … "
Luo Nan had a general understanding of the sequence of events from Polio's narration. Actually, even if he didn't go through Polio, just the intelligence gathering of the mental sensor network was enough to string together a basic chain of events.
The framework of the events was very simple. Polio's mother, Boss Jun, was an important character in a vagrant power. Zhang Liu 'an, Xin Zi, and the others were members of this power. Zhang Liu 'an's wife was Aunt Fen, and she was Boss Jun's confidant. But due to some reason or conflict of interest, Zhang Liu 'an and the others became traitors. They took advantage of Boss Jun's absence to deal with the problem to raise the flag. Ah no, it was a covert rebellion.
Zhang Liu 'an and the others were in a dilemma due to more complicated reasons. They clearly did something, but they didn't dare to go too far. They just wanted to capture Polio and use him as a bargaining chip. This gave Polio the chance to escape, and he met Luo Nan on the way … …
Luo Nan felt that he had spoken very clearly, but Cat Eyes didn't gain anything other than another round of yawns. "Forget it. I shouldn't have had any confidence in your ability to express yourself. No wonder President Ouyang said that if it weren't for your quick sketching skills, the brains of the pitiful people who listened to your lessons would have exploded. "
"Uh, I didn't say it clearly?"
"You should be involved in the conflict between the powers of the vagrants of the Wilderness. You have to know that the tribes and gangs of the Wilderness are as numerous as the hairs on an ox. Three to five people make up a gang. Ten people make up a gang. There are also clans, companies, societies, and orders. Even a sociologist specializing in research wouldn't be able to figure out the twists and turns within. It's normal that you can't say it clearly. If you do, then it must be a misconception. "
"......"
"However, if you can't even complete the basics of verbal expression, then it means that you lack a clear understanding of the core of this matter. In the end, you only want to intervene and help because you feel that the child called Polio is pitiful. You also feel that Brain Demon and the others are annoying. "
"Well, you can say it like that."
"Then it's fine."
"Mm, that's right. I understand what you mean."
"Huh?" This time it was Cat Eyes's turn to be stupefied. "What did I say?"
"Isn't it just a simple matter to be solved simply? Don't let your imagination run wild and complicate things? Don't worry, I understand. A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit. I definitely won't repeat the mistake I just made. "
Cat Eyes pressed her forehead against the bar counter. This bro was letting himself loose outside. Had he even lost his ability to understand?
Luo Nan obtained the answer and didn't say anything more. His consciousness shrunk into the depths of the closed system network. Cat Eyes drank too much wine. She had a toothache. She also had a bad premonition.
The matter was heading in an unpredictable direction.
She suddenly thought of an unverified rumor. "Wait a moment. That Brain Demon is a world-renowned master hypnotist. It's said that he can control Mutants. Moreover, he has close ties with some powerful organization. Otherwise, he wouldn't have lived for so long."
"Understood."
"Understood your ass!" Cat Eyes thought of the storm that could arise two thousand kilometers away. She would likely be in a mess if she joined forces with it here. She just wanted to soak her head in a wine jar.
Just as her entire body was powerless, she suddenly sensed something. The chair beneath her body spun around, propelling her body to face the person who just entered.
"Huh? Secretary He, are you tired of being a secretary? Are you a spy?"
The person who came in was He Yueyin. She was a lone figure, appearing noiselessly in the public activity room. Her expression was solemn. She was serious in speech and manner. She could really scare someone sick in the middle of the night.
"Good evening, Cat Eyes."
"There's no need to greet me so formally. Actually, it would've been bad if it was just a little bit closer … … Speaking of which, what's the matter? Didn't you just make a call?"
"It's about Mr. Luo."
"He's not even here. Is there a need to be polite?"
He Yueyin wouldn't change her habits and cultivation just because of a few words from someone else. However, since she was personally here, she didn't beat around the bush. She went straight to the point. "Mr. Luo has become quite headstrong recently. You know this."
Cat Eyes blinked. "The boss is headstrong. Can a secretary complain?"
He Yueyin didn't resist the joking title of secretary. Instead, a faint smile appeared on her solemn face. "I haven't been taking advantage of my duties recently. It's mostly because I can't keep up with Mr. Luo's tempo."
"Hehe. What tempo does he have?"
"He's testing the tempo of the world."
