Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Under Adele's expectant gaze, Li Ang exhaled deeply, "Magellan is not in danger for the time being."

"The next thing... is to wait for her to wake up."

Chapter 43 Dreaming

"There is no danger for the time being...that is to say, the problem has not been completely resolved?" Adele handed over a towel and asked with some concern.

"……good."

After wiping off his sweat with the towel, Li Ang replied, "The situation is a bit complicated. I only saved Magellan's life temporarily, but I didn't completely clear the breath."

That breath seemed to have taken root in Magellan's heart, no matter how Li Ang tried to remove it, it couldn't be cleaned up, it was as difficult as a gangrene attached to the bone.

At this time, Magellan's heart had already shown a slight abnormality. No matter how well Li Ang protected him, he couldn't completely prevent the influence on his heart.

To be on the safe side, Li Ang stopped and didn't fight with the remaining breath.

Instead, he used the remaining origin stone particles to set up several 'barriers' near Magellan's heart to temporarily 'seal' that breath, so that if something went wrong, Li Ang could stop it immediately.

But during the confrontation just now, Li Ang realized that this aura might be the same personality as the origin stone, and it is definitely not that simple to clear it away.

As the outflow of the will of the world, the origin stone is above all substances in this world. Under certain conditions, all substances can be assimilated by the origin stone.

Because of this characteristic, the organs in the infected person's body can still maintain normal functions after being assimilated by the origin stone. Most of the ore disease infected people eventually die of various organ failures, which does not mean that the organs assimilated by the origin stone have appeared The problem is caused by the superposition of many factors.

If it is adjusted, the infection can even use this organ that has mostly turned into origin stones to live, and its life span will not be shortened much compared to ordinary people.

This shows what?This shows that in a sense, the origin stone can replace various parts of the human body.

This may sound meaningless, but if you look at it from another angle, if a person loses an important organ in an accident, such as the heart, can putting the origin stone in his body allow this person to continue to live? survive?

This is the true meaning of Originium Therapy. To remove some foreign objects in Magellan's body like this is just an overkill.

It's a pity that Li Ang encountered something unknown.

"Anyway, she should be fine for the time being." Li Ang exhaled and said, "I'll go over there to wash my body a little bit, and call me if there's anything wrong."

At this time, Magellan didn't realize at all that she had passed through the gate of hell unknowingly.

Although Li Ang successfully prevented Magellan from being frozen to death by that breath, Magellan's consciousness fell into another dilemma.

"What the hell is this place..."

Walking hard in the blizzard, Magellan couldn't figure out what happened.

What happened before is still vivid in her memory. She didn't have any special feelings when she finished speaking, but she felt a chill in her chest, and even her thoughts were frozen by the chill. After she regained consciousness, she appeared in this ghostly place.

Except for the protective clothing she was wearing, everything on her body disappeared, and the Longteng drone she relied on for a living also did not escape.

In the absence of drones, Magellan is just an ordinary woman with no power to restrain herself. She doesn't have much strength to protect herself. Even a few Originium worms can pose a fatal threat to her.

People seem to have always misunderstood Originium Insects. The artificially bred Originium Insects are indeed not very aggressive, but those in the wild are different.

Originium worms are creatures that are easily affected by the external environment. For example, Originium worms on the extreme arctic ice sheet will grow into a subspecies called Iceburst Originium worms. This subspecies of Originium worms When a bug dies it explodes, freezing everything within a certain radius.

In this icy and snowy environment, it is difficult to find traces of this kind of Originium worm with the naked eye. Magellan accidentally trampled one to death just now, and it was almost frozen into a block of ice.

Therefore, Magellan's next actions became more cautious.

However, this kind of danger can be avoided as long as you are careful. For Magellan, the most deadly thing is the environment here-the snowflakes falling from the sky are black.

Such an abnormal celestial phenomenon not only means that natural disasters will come in this area, but also means that the surrounding environment has become worse and worse.

Magellan's protective clothing is a product specially customized for her by Rhine Life, and it has a good protective ability, but even so, she cannot be exposed to this environment for a long time.

There was a sense of heavy pressure in her heart, and her whole body was also aching, as if some foreign matter had mixed into her body and flowed through her body with the blood.

Worst of all, Magellan got lost.

She could vaguely recognize that she seemed to be in a certain mountain range, but she couldn't tell the direction of the distance, and it was impossible to talk about getting out of this place.

Magellan also once suspected that she had fallen into the illusion of some kind of Originium skill weaving, but everything here is too real, as if she was really thrown into this bird from somewhere thousands of miles away. Same shit place.

In short, Magellan has realized that if she stops, she will definitely die in this ice and snow field, and if she continues to move forward, she may still have a chance.

Bearing the snow enough to bury her calves, Magellan walked forward for an unknown amount of time. The surrounding scenery kept changing, and the only thing that remained constant was her poor physical condition.

However, Magellan seemed unable to recall where she had been before, as if some kind of force drove her forward.

Gradually, Magellan seemed unable to even stop his own pace, and could only move forward mechanically with both legs.

She climbed over steep mountains, passed through forests made of ice crystals, and walked through a completely frozen icy lake. As she walked deeper and deeper in this mountain range, she seemed to come to a place that no one had ever set foot on. land.

Finally, Magellan stopped in front of a dark canyon.

She looked into the depths of the canyon in a daze, as if there was something she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Along with the howling wind, a voice that Magellan could not understand came from the depths of the canyon.

This was a language Magellan had never heard before, but for some reason, she somehow understood what the other party wanted to express.

[Did you survive? 】

[Accept my reward, ants. 】

A big gray hand that almost covered half of the sky stretched out from the depths of the canyon.

Looking at everything in front of her, inexplicable fear gradually filled Magellan's heart. She couldn't move her body at all, and could only watch the big hand grabbing towards her.

With their hands closed together, the world in front of Magellan's eyes returned to darkness.

Chapter 44 Waking Up

"Magellan has woken up!"

Li Ang just found a bathroom that was still available, and cleaned his armor and sweaty body. When he came back, he heard Adele's excited voice.

Actually woke up?Li Ang was somewhat surprised.

He thought that Magellan would remain in a coma until the blizzard subsided, but he didn't expect to wake up so soon. It seemed that her body was not as weak as it looked.

However, this is also a good thing.

It is conceivable how troublesome it is to take care of a comatose person. Now that Magellan has woken up, even if he cannot take care of himself temporarily, it can relieve a lot of burden for the two of them.

"Then I'll go and see how she's doing."

At this time, it was almost a day after Li Ang resumed the energy supply of the fortress. The heating system inside the fortress had returned to normal, and the temperature here was not as cold as yesterday, so Adele removed the heating system. Equipment, avoid the temperature in the tent is too high.

When Li Ang entered the tent, Magellan had already sat up from the bed, staring blankly at the front, looking like an old man with dementia.

Li Ang sensed that the 'seal' at Magellan's heart was intact, and there was nothing wrong with it, so he walked over and waved his hand in front of her.

"Are you awake? How do you feel now?"

However, Magellan didn't have the slightest reaction to Li Ang's question.

Li Ang couldn't help frowning, could it be that she hurt her head just now, and now she's completely stupid?Thinking about it carefully, the possibility of this seems not low.

Just when Li Ang was about to use other methods to try whether Magellan had frozen his brain, she finally had a reaction.

Magellan turned his head slowly, looked at Li Ang and asked, "I... what's wrong with me?"

"do not you remember?"

Li Ang brought over two folding stools, sat down with Adele in front of Magellan, and said, "You were a step too slow in the end, and didn't throw the pendant out in time, the breath in Xuesi's body still penetrated into your body." Body."

With that said, Li Ang took out the pendant and waved it in front of Magellan's eyes.

Magellan rubbed his temples vigorously, looked at the pendant in front of him, frowned and said, "I seem to have a little impression."

She stretched out her hand to grab the pendant, but Li Ang put the pendant away in time before she touched it, and threw it into the storage compartment of his armor.

"You can't touch this."

"Although I haven't figured out what's special about this pendant, there is no doubt that the aura is directed at this pendant, so can you understand?"

Li Ang was a little worried that something special would happen after Magellan touched the pendant, so to be on the safe side, it's better not to let Magellan touch the pendant for the time being.

"After the matter is resolved, I will return the pendant to you."

Hearing this, Magellan nodded slowly.

Although Magellan still looks a little dazed now, compared to just now, I don’t know how many times better. She moved her body a little, and then asked, "What happened after I lost consciousness?"

Magellan's question directly hit the most critical point, and Li Ang could feel that Adele clenched her hands very nervously.

After all, what the two of them did just now directly caused Magellan to be infected with ore disease. No matter how angry Magellan was, Adele didn't want to see such a thing.

"To put it simply, after Adele and I moved you back from that place, we managed to save your life."

But Li Ang didn't have so many worries. He said frankly, "However, the situation was very critical at that time, and you might die at any time, so I used a special method."

"A side effect of this method is that you get ore disease."

When Li Ang was reading novels before, such a plot often appeared in the novel.

The protagonist spent a lot of effort and managed to save a supporting character who was about to die, but in the process of treatment, he also caused irreversible injuries to the supporting character's body, or the supporting character didn't want to live at all.

After the supporting character regained consciousness, he became furious at the protagonist and made insulting remarks, as if the protagonist had done something wrong.

How similar is the situation that Li Ang is currently encountering. If Magellan looks like he is dying, then Li Ang doesn't mind giving Magellan a ride in advance.

Anyway, if it wasn't for Li Ang, she would definitely die. Li Ang just took back the things he accidentally lost.

Fortunately, Magellan is different from those mentally retarded supporting characters in the novel. After hearing the bad news, she just responded lightly, and then nodded calmly.

"Oh, so I became an infected person..."

Magellan's reaction was so flat that Adele couldn't help asking, "Aren't you angry? You're infected with ore disease!"

No matter how much you deny it, even in the most enlightened cities, there is an invisible barrier between the infected and ordinary people. Once infected with ore disease, no matter how hard you try, it is impossible to return to the previous life .

"Angry? Why should I be angry?" Magellan tilted his head and asked a little strangely, "I should say thank you. It's better to be infected with ore disease than to die here, and..."

"I've been prepared for ore disease for a long time."

Magellan is an explorer, and he often goes deep into some places with very harsh environments. The protection of protective clothing is not foolproof. Even if he suddenly contracted ore disease that day, it is not surprising.

Now that she heard the news, Magellan was relieved. Infection with ore disease has become an established fact. At least she doesn't have to be as worried as before.

After a pause, Magellan continued, "Actually, it's not that serious. Many employees of Rhine Life are infected, and several of my friends are also infected. As long as they receive treatment, there should be no problem."

Although there will be some influence to some extent, it basically has nothing to do with people like him who are away all year round.

Most of the time, Magellan couldn't even see her figure. Would anyone care if she was an infected person?

"But I'm a little curious. What method did you use to treat me? I don't seem to have heard of any treatment method that can cause people to get ore disease." Magellan asked curiously.

"...you'll find out later."

Li Ang was silent for a moment, then replied.

"That's it..." Magellan nodded lightly, without further questioning.

With the passage of time, Magellan's consciousness has also fully awakened, and her attention has been completely focused on the previous dream.

It's just that no matter how much she thinks alone, she can't analyze more useful information from that dream.

So Magellan sorted out his thoughts, and then said, "There is one more thing..."

"Actually, just now, I had a somewhat strange dream."

Chapter 45 Eyes

"Dreams are normal, there's nothing surprising about that."

After hearing Magellan's words, Li Ang didn't take it seriously. He stood up from the folding stool, and said to Adele, "Magellan is just asking you to take care of him for the time being. I have something else to deal with."

Next, Li Ang was going to carefully investigate every corner of the fortress.

Although the result was somewhat unsatisfactory, Magellan did detonate the hidden crisis here in advance, and now is a good opportunity to explore this fortress. If there are other traps here, then Leon will recognize it.

Adele nodded, and then said, "Is there anything else that needs my attention?"

"Nothing else, just don't run around until I come back."

With that said, Li Ang turned around and prepared to leave.

Seeing that Li Ang didn't take her words to heart, Magellan became a little anxious. She put one hand on the ground, leaned forward vigorously, and grabbed Li Ang who was about to leave.
