The Ultimate War Of The Apocalypse-Chapter 629 - 622: Apocalyptic Scenes
Chapter 629: Chapter 622: Apocalyptic Scenes
Entering the medical pod would cause a loss of consciousness, but this time, it seemed different.
Enclosing a person inside made it feel crowded, with the pod emitting a pearly white light all over.
Gao Yuan had always wondered how the medical pod worked, was it by injecting a large number of nanobots, or by performing high precision surgery?
It just looked like an empty cupboard, with nothing special about it.
A ring of light quickly flashed over Gao Yuan from head to toe, as if scanning, and then, the white light scanned back from foot to head.
Drops of blood fell inside the medical pod.
It was only then that Gao Yuan suddenly remembered that when Cao Zhenjiang was thrown into the medical pod, his neck was spouting blood, but when he came out, there wasn’t a single trace of blood inside the pod.
So, where did the spilt blood go?
Gao Yuan quickly found the answer.
A spike suddenly began to extend from the top of the medical pod, coming straight down towards Gao Yuan’s nose, which allowed him to see very clearly that the spike was actually made of the medical pod’s own material, growing directly from it.
Numerous spikes emerged, with the most concentrated around the wound under Gao Yuan’s armpit.
Many places on Gao Yuan’s body were pierced by spikes, and then, he could feel a stinging pain; those spikes were drawing blood, cutting through the skin, and obtaining healthy tissue from the intact muscle.
Considering the treatment cases he knew previously, Gao Yuan understood that the medical pod did not contain medicine, nor did it have many nanobots. Instead, the pod itself was a massive medical robot. freeweɓnovel.cøm
The medical pod would pump the patient or casualty’s own blood back into them, use molecular-level cutting to remove the healthy tissue from the patient’s body, and then use molecular-level printing to reconstruct the tissues where necessary.
It really did resemble 3D printing, except the material was the patient’s own, which completely eliminated any chance of rejection. Moreover, it left no cuts, wounds, or any aftereffects because the medical pod could achieve even greater precision than the human body, enabling it to treat brain tumors, paraplegia, and even quickly excise tumors and eliminate cancer cells in cases of cancer.
It was still surgery, just taken to the extreme level of minutiae.
Humanity’s future had two extremes: one was to enter the endless expanse of the universe, and the other was to explore the infinite world of molecules and atoms.
A nanometer is a unit of length, and nanotechnology represents humanity’s exploration toward the smaller scales. Nanobots have made some progress, but in the application of nano-biology, humanity is only at a conceptual and theoretical stage. Hope is visible, yet the application of nanotechnology to molecular-level cutting and reassembling—namely, widespread medical application—is currently not feasible.
Therefore, the medical pod is humanity’s template in the field of nanotechnology.
There was no sound, but Gao Yuan could feel that his wounds were almost painless, although he didn’t dare to turn his head to look because spikes were still working on his face, above his head, and all over his body.
Since Gao Yuan had been burned, the armpit injury was the most severe, but there were wounds all over his body, so naturally, the medical pod was working everywhere.
No wonder Xinghe had warned not to move, it was because of this. With Gao Yuan’s current strength, if he moved, he could very well break the spikes.
Why not use anesthesia? Gao Yuan did not know. The most likely reason he could think of was that immediate combat readiness was necessary after leaving the medical pod, facing the imminent Serpent People attack at this critical time; he had to be alert and able to fight right away.
Gao Yuan heard no sound; when he was sealed inside the medical pod, he was completely cut off from the outside world.
So he had no idea what the situation outside was like.
As the last spike withdrew from Gao Yuan’s armpit, a flash of white light followed, and then the door of the medical pod swung open.
Clamor and a tumult of noises instantly invaded Gao Yuan’s eardrums.
Gao Yuan managed to sit up in the medical pod and saw Ram yelling something at the top of his voice. Then, turning his head, he saw Grolyov, covered in blood, being supported by Andy Ho.
A veritable apocalyptic scene.
"What happened?"
Looking above, this was the passage inside the underground shelter; the entrance to the shelter featured Luo Xingyu and another Mecha. Looking inward, there was the 59 Super Modified.
Countless people were flooding into the underground shelter on both sides of the 59 Super Modified, primarily soldiers from the Sanitation Worker forces.
Gao Yuan stepped out of the medical pod, and Andy Ho immediately carried Grolyov over.
"Wait!"
Xinghe suddenly shouted. She grabbed Grolyov, supported his limp body with her left arm, placed him above the medical pod, and with a sweep of her right hand, blood sprayed from Grolyov’s left arm.
Xinghe had severed Grolyov’s left arm.
Grolyov’s left hand had already been lost, but Xinghe chopped off his prosthetic arm.
With a quick pull of the arm, Grolyov fell into the medical pod. Xinghe casually shut the door and said somberly, "It won’t add much time. Healing is faster when there’s a wound to work with."
Gao Yuan looked around and saw at least ten people lined up next to the Ark of the Covenant, waiting to enter the medical pod; it was just that Grolyov’s injuries were more severe.
Li Jingang had a long gash across his chest, the clothing completely torn, revealing the bulletproof vest beneath.
Li Jingang stepped forward to restrain Gao Yuan, then, while pulling Gao Yuan outside, he urgently said, "Let me brief you on the situation."
"Everyone who can evacuate Djibouti should do so immediately! Those who have entered the Djibouti City District, find a sturdy shelter nearby and hold your ground for aid! We are now cooperating with the Sanitation Workers, we are on the same side. Try to gather as many people together as possible..."
Gao Yuan looked back at Ram. He began to feel nervous and panicked.
Everyone was shouting, everyone was frenzied, everyone was terrified...
Gao Yuan saw Murphy, and a stranger dressed in a general’s uniform.
"I’m Larry! We’re now cooperating with the Solar System Company. We’re not enemies. Our only enemy is the Aliens. The true Celestials have emerged. The Aliens in the sky are the evil Serpent People. The Serpent People have launched an attack, they’re going to release monsters. Damn it! This is the order of the Elder Council. The Serpent People are about to commence indiscriminate slaughter, and if you don’t believe, just wait and die..."
Larry was holding a megaphone, jumping up and down, shrieking at the top of his lungs.
Gao Yuan passed the guards at the entrance to the shelter, walked by Luo Xingyu’s Mecha, and then he saw the corpses on the ground.
Dense, fan-shaped formations of brown bodies lay all around, human in form but insect-like in their upper limbs. A wall of flesh and blood, more than three meters high, had been erected thirty meters outside the entrance to the underground shelter.
