Chapter 7 Lily
Upon entering the clinic, a dusty corridor appeared before Xu Yang.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
The previous pharmacy left him with some bad memories, so the dust felt especially comforting now.
Along the corridor, there are consultation rooms on both sides, a pharmacy in the middle, and a staircase leading upstairs at the end.
Xu Yang's goal was clear—the pharmacy.
This time, he used a crowbar to check the ceiling before going in.
A steel medicine shelf leaned against the wall, with medicines neatly arranged on it. Many of the medicine boxes were faded, and most of them contained expired prescription drugs. There were no water purification pills, and they were of no value whatsoever.
Are you really going to have him plunder houses and gamble on odds?
Xu Yang sighed, turned and headed towards the stairs. He figured he'd at least ransack the entire clinic first, and then figure out what to do next...
The second floor.
Compared to the first floor, although it was still covered in dust, this place was obviously emptier and messier. There were three small rooms inside, and outside there were some cushioned seats with IV drips, which were scattered haphazardly on the floor, as if some chaos had occurred here.
Looking in the direction these seats were pushed open, the source appears to be in a glass room. However, the glass is not transparent, so it's not immediately clear what's inside.
It seems somewhat suspicious.
Xu Yang did not explore the glass room at the beginning, but checked the other two rooms first, one was the toilet and the other was the place where medicine was kept, and there were no water purification tablets in either room.
Finally, he used the crowbar in his hand to gently pry open the door to the glass room.
Creak~
The sound of the door opening was like insects crawling on his scalp, giving him goosebumps.
As the door opened, the cramped space was exposed and immediately became clear.
Xu Yang's pupils contracted slightly.
Ahead, black bloodstains covered almost half the ground, and in the center of the room, there was a machine that looked like a bed.
Three robotic arms are connected above the "bed".
At the tail end were a knife, a syringe, and a humanoid hand.
Beneath the "bed," a black, cable-like pipe connects to two cylindrical objects at the head of the "bed," resembling containers.
Finally, on the "bed",
A desiccated corpse occupied the space, its arm adorned with a rather ornate bracelet that appeared to be quite expensive, suggesting the owner was of high status.
But this obviously cannot change the situation.
His body lay face down on the bed, contorted into a bizarre shape. His skin looked as if it had been scraped off, completely rotten, and he was only wearing a simple pair of shorts.
Above him, a robotic arm equipped with a scalpel sliced open his entire spine, while an arm with a syringe pierced his neck. His eye sockets were directly facing Xu Yang, the deep-seated eyes, like the skin, completely detached.
A chill ran down Xu Yang's spine; that was his first impression.
"guide"
[Deteriorated and mangled dried corpse]
The body was strapped to a fully automated medical machine. Its genes collapsed within a very short time, its skin ulcerated, and its spine and neck were completely destroyed by the equipment during the struggle.
[Note: Join the glorious evolution together!]
Xu Yang's eyelids twitched.
The focus shifted to the so-called fully automated medical device:
[The destroyed fully automated medical device, Model III]
[The latest generation of medical instruments developed by Z-God combines the functions of traditional surgical instruments with the addition of biochemical plug-in installation and blood and flesh prodigant implantation capabilities. Please use it with the assistance of a professional.]
[Note: One instrument solves everything!]
Biohazard... plugin?
Xu Yang was taken aback; he already had one in his bag.
I never knew how to install it before, but it turns out it's done with this kind of equipment...
But what is the lure?
He looked at the last humanoid robotic arm.
It seemed as if a dark object was being held in the palm of the person wearing medical gloves.
Xu Yang took the items out.
[Standard flesh and blood lure (ineffective)]
[A standardized lure created by the Federation, compatible with corresponding mutagens, capable of strengthening muscle fibers, with a small probability of obtaining a superior mutation—Iron Body - Basic.]
[Note: Superman?!]
……
His attention wasn't focused on the so-called steel body; he noticed another word—
What is the corresponding mutagen?
Xu Yang stroked his chin. Even if it was a failed surgery, the necessary supplies still needed to be gathered.
He walked around the medical instrument once.
Finally, look at the head of the instrument—two cylindrical containers.
This is the only place on the whole machine where you can put things.
He felt around the container and successfully found a small metal trigger at the bottom.
A gentle push—
Click.
Xu Yang took half a step back.
A slit was popped open above the two containers.
He stepped forward and lifted the lid of the container.
The first container contained a slot the size of a mobile phone, which was also the size of a black chip, matching the energy storage module in his bag.
As expected, this should be the container for the biohazard plugin.
And another container.
Its interior is a cylindrical space. Inside, it still contains a black, ink-like liquid.
Xu Yang licked his lips, and relevant information appeared before his eyes:
[New Human Mutagen]
[A mutagen optimized specifically for human body tissues, it does not produce mutations that alter a person's basic appearance; when used with a suitable inducer, it can induce targeted mutations.]
[Note: Anything that is strangely shaped or unusual is expelled from the human race!]
This should be a good thing.
He found a syringe, transferred the mutagen from the medical device into a small vial, and put it in his backpack.
Before leaving the room, Xu Yang also took off the bracelet from the corpse, mainly because he thought it looked pretty cool.
As for the functions:
Limited Edition Decorative Bracelet (Battery Depleted)
[Luxury products made from various precious materials, with exquisite details and a gorgeous appearance, and the time can be viewed.]
[Note: How did you know I just got a brand new fitness tracker yesterday?]
Anyway, we won't need the Corpse Brother anymore, and it doesn't take up much space. Maybe it will come in handy in the future.
Xu Yang walked out of the room.
The loot was decent, but it all felt like late-game items, while the water purification pills needed for the beginner quests were...
He was somewhat amused and exasperated, feeling like he hadn't completed the main quest but had done a ton of side quests.
"Why……"
Xu Yang sighed, walked towards the pharmacy, and prepared to grab some alcohol before continuing his journey.
Maybe I really should go—
what! ! ! ! !
A sharp scream rang out without warning.
Before Xu Yang could react...
Clang, clang...
A series of orderly and rapid footsteps sounded downstairs.
Xu Yang subconsciously looked towards the stairs.
Deng.
The footsteps stopped.
A pair of sharp, bright eyes met his gaze.
Short stature, black mask and jacket, Mickey-colored cargo pants, leather backpack, and an extra composite bow.
Lily stopped on the stairs.
She glanced at the crowbar in the man's hand and frowned slightly.
Bang!
An even louder noise erupted on the first floor.
Lily rushed towards the second-floor window, a gust of wind sweeping past Xu Yang, hastily leaving behind a sentence:
"Run!"
She jumped out of the second-floor window.
