Alien Relic Hunter.

Chapter 442: Park Sangyou Awakens

That would be troublesome...

Ke Lan couldn't help frowning.

As the saying goes, it’s easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow... If there are really a few people in the Undead Crew who really don’t want to let themselves live, even if he can complete this first assessment task, the next few tasks will be difficult. The difficulty will only increase.

It's not that Ke Lan never thought of reporting to the Undead Crew, but the problem is that this point of view is entirely based on his speculation, and there is no conclusive evidence to support it. Besides, since the assessment task can be sent to him, it means that Other members also recognized this difficulty.

This is really hard to ride a tiger...

While Ke Lan was sitting in front of the computer in a daze, Ivan's voice rang through the team's communication channel: "The survivors have regained consciousness!"

Park Sang Woo woke up? !Ke Lan was taken aback for a moment, stood up quickly, and walked quickly to the front of the carriage.

I saw that Park Shangyou, who was only half breathed, opened his eyes at this time—although his eyes were still confused and his consciousness was probably still in a state of confusion, but from the vital signs monitoring device on the side, he opened his eyes. Judging from the readings on the Internet, his physical condition has stabilized and has not deteriorated further.

"This fucking can wake up? Don't you come back to the light?" The hound said against the window glass with a surprised face.

"He has undergone body modification before." Ivan explained, "The level is not high, that is, two to three levels, but he took the route of physical strengthening, which is why he woke up so quickly."

Physical enhancement is also a relatively popular transformation route. Unlike the "biochemical transformation" and "cyborg prosthetic transformation" that pursue destructive power and want to turn themselves into humanoid weapons, most people who choose physical enhancement do so in order to make themselves stronger. I have gained stronger disease resistance, better physical fitness, and a more comprehensive ability to adapt to the environment...

There are also some wealthy people who also choose to strengthen their bodies, and their purpose is more pure, some for longevity, and some for bodybuilding... Some people even want to improve their combat effectiveness in certain aspects...

Of course, they all chose one or two levels of transformation surgery with relatively mature technology and a success rate infinitely close to [-]%. However, the failure rate of the eight-level physical enhancement that Marshall received was even higher than that of biochemical transformation and prosthetic transformation. .

The most intuitive ability brought about by physical strengthening is the substantial enhancement of physical fitness. The reason why Park Shangyou can wake up so quickly is precisely because his physical fitness is far stronger than that of ordinary people who have not undergone transformation.

"No wonder this guy has been able to hop around in the wilderness for several years. As an ordinary person, even if he can come back alive, he will probably suffer from a lot of problems." The hound said with a smack of his mouth.

Ke Lan glanced at Park Shangyou's file again, and as expected, there were also records of the body modification surgery he had undergone - a total of four surgeries, and the enhancement level was two... But what made Ke Lan speechless was that this The money that the guy used for the surgery was all embezzled money.

Because of those wealthy people, low-level physical enhancement and genetic modification surgery are much more expensive than low-level biochemical modification and prosthetic body modification surgery, and it is also difficult to apply for loans. The few who can afford the high cost of surgery are the same for Park Sang-woo, who has just entered the research institute for a few years.

As for biochemical transformation and prosthetic body transformation surgery, you can apply for special loans, because most of the people who perform such transformations are combat occupations such as mercenaries and hunters. They usually sign a mortgage agreement and use the task rewards to repay the surgery Loans, even if unfortunately killed in the mission, the pension issued by the government and the organization will be used to offset the unpaid loan first.

"Fortunately, this guy embezzled money and was willing to invest in his own body. Otherwise, when we found the rescue cabin, the lights on it would have been red." Layton said.

"I really don't know whether this kid is lucky or we are lucky." The hound also sighed.

……

"Water... water... give me water..." Park Shangyou, who was gradually regaining consciousness, first felt the burning pain in his throat. He wanted to try to raise his hand, but found that his body had completely lost his senses. You can't even turn your head.

He vaguely heard the unique beeps of life monitoring equipment coming from his ears, and he subconsciously thought that he was rescued by the Ark's search and rescue team, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"You can't drink water in your current state, and I will rehydrate you through intravenous drip." Ivan said in an extremely calm tone.

"You... are you a doctor?" Park Shangyou turned his eyes towards the source of the voice with some difficulty, but because of the limited angle, he could only see the piece that Ivan hung on his chest to replace the white coat, The blood-stained sterile surgical towel made it impossible to see Ivan's face.

"I'm a doctor." Ivan replied.

"...Doctor...Where is this... here?" Park Shangyou looked at the surrounding environment a little blankly, the small space in the car, the cracked glass windows, and the dark red scene outside the window, he didn't know anything about it. There was no way to connect this place with an imaginary operating room or ward.

"Here...isn't this...the Ark?"

"No, we're still in the Molten Mine." After getting Ke Lan's permission, Ivan replied truthfully.

"The Molten Mine Area?! Are we—are we still in the mining area?" Park Shangyou was stunned for a moment, and then immediately became agitated. Even his body bound by cable ties on the folding stretcher began to struggle slightly.

"Please don't move around!" Ivan immediately stretched out his hand, pressed his body, and then stuck a sedative on the injection port of the indwelling needle with his backhand, pushing all the medicine in.

According to conventional medication standards, overuse of sedatives is prohibited for seriously injured people of this level, but Park Shangyou is a physically strengthened transformed person, and his body's tolerance is much stronger than that of ordinary people. The sedatives only calmed him down a little bit.

"The mining area...the mining area is very unsafe...you must...leave immediately...heretical sects have invaded...you...who are you?" Park Shangyou said incoherently, but when Ivan leaned out to get the medical box, He immediately saw the power armor on Ivan's body, which made Park Shangyou's attention instantly focus on the identity of the doctor in front of him.

"You... you're not from a heretical sect...?" he asked.

"No, we are the search and rescue team sent by Ark. We found your rescue capsule in the mining area and gave you emergency rescue." Ivan said to him.
