Lao Yao looked back at the broken front door of the lobby and said extremely cautiously, "Um, you guys are about to get off work, right? How about I come back another day?"
Lu Yuan dragged Brother Gou's corpse towards the first floor hallway of the lobby, "No problem, please have a seat in the examination room, I'll be right there."
The nurse Liu Yuan swiftly cleaned up the blood stains on the floor. Seeing Liu Yuan's skilled movements, Lao Yao cautiously moved towards the door while pretending to casually ask, "Alright, which way is the examination room?"
Over there, Lu Yuan had already dragged Brother Gou's corpse into the hallway. On this side, Liu Yuan mopping the floor didn't even lift her head to say, "The examination room is in the opposite direction of where you're heading right now."
Seeing he was already at the door, Lao Yao leaped forward with a burst of speed and rushed out the front door of the lobby.
Thud—
Bang!
"Ouch—!"
Immediately, a miserable shriek came from Lao Yao's mouth.
Lao Yao, who was only focused on running and didn't watch his step, happened to step on the spot Liu Yuan had just mopped. His feet slipped and he involuntary performed a perfect split on the spot.
Watching Lao Yao go from a "person" to an upside down "T", Liu Yuan mopping nearby looked at him admiringly and deliberately asked with concern, "That was a very slick split, you've professionally trained for it before, right?"
Feeling the two extremely sore, still quivering leg muscles, smelling the faint scent of blood coming from his nose, hearing the seemingly murderous ridicule from the girl's words, Lao Yao froze in place.
"Ouch—!"
That's right, his previous miserable shriek still hadn't stopped.
Lao Yao blinked, forcefully snapped his jaw shut to finally stop his mouth.
Next, Lao Yao wanted to slowly stand up from the ground, but he had just climbed halfway up—
"Oh, so you slipped! Go slowly, let me help you!"
Seeing that Lao Yao had accidentally slipped, Liu Yuan came over to help. But as soon as she spoke, Lao Yao seemed to get an electric shock as his whole body shuddered!
Thud—
"Hiss—!"
He split again.
But this time fortunately he didn't let out the previous miserable shriek.
Liu Yuan really couldn't bear to watch any longer. She went over and propped up Lao Yao, signaling to him, "The examination room is this way, come, I'll help you over!"
His lower half still immersed in the lingering soreness from the two splits just now, Lao Yao's face was ashen. Could it be that after evading the intelligence community for decades, today would be the day he dies here?
The will to survive surged in Lao Yao. He looked at Liu Yuan with infinite doubts—how could such a cute and pretty girl have such a vicious heart?!
Next, Lao Yao's face showed resignation to his fate, "Anyway it's the same result, do as you wish, but I want to see my beloved car one last time!"
Finally Liu Yuan could confirm that there was indeed something wrong with this one's brain.
Immediately she supported Lao Yao even more carefully, "Okay, okay, no problem. Go slowly, this way with me..."
Feeling Liu Yuan's arm strength, Lao Yao could also confirm that he probably wouldn't make it today.
At this moment, tears of regret nearly burst from Lao Yao's eyes.
He wondered, why did he randomly come here looking for death?
Soon, with Liu Yuan's support, Lao Yao arrived at the parking lot in front of the clinic's square.
Lao Yao shakily took out his keys, wanting Liu Yuan to open the car door and take out the photos. But Liu Yuan first asked, "Do you want to get into the car?"
"Huh?!"
Lao Yao asked in surprise, "I, I can get in the car?"
He couldn't quite believe it, the other party was actually so confident?!
That even letting him get in the car wouldn't allow him to escape?!
Liu Yuan looked at Lao Yao somewhat sympathetically and nodded.
Without another word, Lao Yao swiftly pulled open the door and got in the driver's seat. Slam—he locked the door, started the ignition, shifted gears, vroom—
He floored the accelerator and the car shot forward.
Liu Yuan stood in place watching Lao Yao's car silhouette gradually disappear into the sunset.
Just then, Lu Yuan walked over from behind. He took off his bloody gloves and asked, "How did that person leave?"
Liu Yuan tried to hug Lu Yuan's arm, but was slapped away by him.
The nurse pouted, "Doctor Lu, that patient was so pitiful."
"Oh?"
"Not only did he have a stomachache, there was also something wrong with his brain."
Lu Yuan sighed, "That is quite pitiful. Since he had something to take care of, there's nothing we can do. Didn't I tell you to improve the meals?"
"It's all in the fridge, I'll go heat some up for you. Go rest in the office first..."
"Let's eat together in the cafeteria."
"Okay!"
Soon, Lu Yuan and Liu Yuan had a bountiful dinner in the clinic's small cafeteria.
After dinner, Lu Yuan instructed Liu Yuan who was cleaning up the bowls and plates, "Get off work early, go back and rest early."
Liu Yuan looked at Lu Yuan curiously, "What about you?"
A mysterious smile appeared on Lu Yuan's face, "I learned some special knowledge today, I'm going to study it carefully."
"Oh..."
Soon, the only one left in the entire clinic was Lu Yuan.
He went to the first floor of the freezer warehouse, gaze sweeping past the rows of frozen corpses.
After walking past the first row, Lu Yuan stood in place with closed eyes, pondering deeply for a full twenty minutes.
"So that's how it is..."
"Looks like I'll need to go buy some parts tomorrow."
Muttering to himself, Lu Yuan walked to the very back of the neatly arranged rows of freezer compartments, where Brother Gou, who he had just hung up today, was located.
At this time, Brother Gou's entire body surface was already covered by a thin layer of frost. On his chest and abdomen was an approximately 10 centimeter long incision, vaguely showing the inside of the incision to be very clean.
Lu Yuan bowed slightly to Brother Gou, "Thank you for the special ability you've given me."
The special gene that Lu Yuan had copied from Brother Gou today was a type of special gene, mechanical affinity.
And from dissecting Brother Gou's corpse afterwards, Lu Yuan had also obtained a top-tier ability in the future medical field: repairing and replicating cybernetic/biological hybrid energy organs.
Previously Lu Yuan could only make non-sentient mechanical body parts for people. With this ability, he could now try making cybernetic hearts, or even produce his own robots without consciousness.
