"Jarvis, what did the captain tell you?"
The entrance to the tent where Captain Murphyya is.
Sergeant Mars stood guard here, waiting for Li Nuo.
He turned his head when he heard the movement of the door curtain and saw Li Nuo coming out of it.
Li Nuo had just finished his conversation with Captain Murphy Ya. At this time, he just wanted to go back to the camp to rest, get some hot water, rub his body, and catch up on some sleep.
But it's a pity that Miss Murphyya, who is slightly plump, obviously doesn't want him to be idle.
Li Nuo and Mars walked towards the stairwell together and said at the same time:
"Sir Mars, Captain Murphy's said that the first injection of strengthening medicine is the most likely to cause adverse reactions after the injection, and you need to rest for several days before going outdoors. She asked me to go to the medical department of the Legion Fortress to get an injection as soon as possible, so as not to Affect subsequent legion missions.”
Sergeant Mars nodded:
"Yes, she is right. The incidence of adverse reactions is as high as 95%. Basically everyone will have mild symptoms such as retching, dizziness, and fatigue. In severe cases, people may also suffer from photophobia and fear of light. Water, fear of wind, and high fever. Generally speaking, after the first injection, it takes about 10 days before you can go out for activities, otherwise you are likely to suffer from weird immune diseases."
Li Nuo frowned slightly:
"The chance of adverse reactions is so high, it sounds very dangerous. Are there any cases of death after this injection?"
"You can rest assured." Sergeant Mars smiled and said with relief:
"When MI3 developed the enhanced potion, it arranged a special protection mechanism... Hmm... let me think about what those professional terms are called..."
Sergeant Mars said in thought:
"I heard the nurse from the medical department say that the so-called adverse reactions are actually the immune responses that occur when the strengthening agent transforms the human body for the first time. When the intensity of the immune response reaches the critical value that the human body can withstand, the strengthening agent The active ingredients will disintegrate due to excessive body temperature. As a result, the active ingredients of the medicine will become ineffective, and the body's immune system will gradually return to normal."
Sergeant Mars snapped his fingers:
“So, you can understand that the longer the adverse reactions last after injection, the longer the active ingredients take effect, and the better the effect of transforming the human body for the first time.
"In fact, this is indeed the case. MI3 once made a statistics. The sergeants who can be promoted to the third level "Imperial Fist" all had symptoms for more than 10 days when they were injected with the first injection of strengthening medicine. reaction, without exception. What's more, it has reached 15 days, which is the theoretical limit of human body endurance. Therefore, MI3 regards the duration of adverse reactions as an important indicator of the development potential of sergeants. "
Li Nuo asked:
"Then how long did your adverse reaction last?"
Sergeant Mars smiled awkwardly:
"Hey, I almost made it to the 10th day. My body was a bit unsatisfactory, and I actually had a fever in the afternoon of the 9th day. In the evening of the same day, my body returned to normal, and all the adverse reactions disappeared. Now that I think about it, I feel a little bit unwilling. A high fever that comes and goes quickly has completely destroyed all the active ingredients in my body..."
Li Nuo and Sergeant Mars chatted while walking through the stairwell, the second underground floor and the first floor, and finally returned to the ground and sat in the steam locomotive.
The steam locomotive moved forward on the rugged ground and soon arrived at the station of Alvin's army.
Sergeant Mars did not get out of the car.
He chatted with the soldiers standing guard.
The soldier ran quickly to Sergeant Alvin's tent, and when he returned, he had a remote control in his hand.
Sergeant Mars took the remote control, turned the steering wheel, bypassed the station, and drove directly to the Legion fortress on the horizon.
He aimed at Li Nuo and pressed the button on the remote control to remove the shock collar from the other person's neck.
Li Nuo looked at the electric shock collar that slipped from his neck and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
He tried to deconstruct the electric shock collar before, but the system prompted that 300 energy points were needed to completely deconstruct it.
Li Nuo couldn't muster up so much energy in a short period of time.
Moreover, even if the deconstruction yielded results, he might not be able to remove the shock collar.
Only by catering to the imperial army can we get the chance to unlock the electric shock collar in the shortest possible time.
Now, his efforts have paid off.
From the time he traveled through time to now, within 24 hours, he had thrown away his electric shock collar.
The freedom he gained through forbearance made him cherish it.
This is an important part of his plan to escape from the Land of Misery.
"Congratulations, Jarvis. From now on, you can act as a soldier. Originally, we had to wait until the spiritual hub of No. 1079 was opened, Lieutenant Serre got the life essence inside, and then distributed the loot to Alvin. Only after the soldiers have arrived can we return to the fort with the main force.
"However, since Captain Murphy's order is given, I will take you first. Otherwise, we will be delayed for three or four days."
Li Nuo touched the shock collar with residual body temperature and nodded:
"Okay, sir."
Sergeant Mars drove the car and said:
"Captain Murphya told me that your treatment will be as that of a second-class soldier of the legion. You can stay in the 'Fashion Time' for free once every half month, for up to three days at a time. There will be hot water, drinks, and food. , unlimited tobacco and alcohol. Of course, there is also the indispensable pleasure service. After you have overcome the adverse reactions of the injection of strengthening medicine, you can go to the hotel to experience it.
"In addition, in the entire Legion Fortress, as long as there is no 'no entry' sign hanging at the door, you can go in and take a look around the man-made indoor gardens, underground hot spring pools, shop lanes, etc..."
"Is there a library?" Li Nuo interjected and asked.
"Huh? Library?" Sergeant Mars glanced sideways at Li Nuo:
"There is no library, but there is a reading room. But there are only books related to the undead. Entertainment books such as novels, poetry collections, and illustration collections have been hidden by unknown soldiers for a long time. It is probably a private store. There must be these things in there.”
"Only books related to the undead...well, that's enough." Li Nuo nodded slowly:
"I just want to refresh my knowledge in this area. After all, I have to live here for decades, so of course I have to know the details of my neighbors."
Sergeant Mars shook his head and sighed:
"Hey, you are indeed a top student. You learn wherever you go. I thought you would be like other soldiers, soaking in the 'fashionable time' for three days in a row."
I still don’t want to be a “comrade” anymore, it’s too dirty... Li Nuo changed the topic and said:
"By the way, sir, I have another question..."
"you say…"
The two talked all the way.
Li Nuo kept asking questions.
The question revolves around the Legion's fortress.
From the public facilities of the legion's fortress, to the basic situation of the legion, to the current situation and dangers faced by the Colabo legion, Li Nuo asked them all.
Sergeant Mars patiently answered them one by one, which helped Li Nuo catch up on some basic homework.
As they chatted, Li Nuo's eyes came to the appearance and figure of Murphy Ya. He also thought of the other person's calmness that was obviously different from that of a girl, and couldn't help but ask:
"Sir, Captain Murphya looks very young..."
"Aha, I knew you were going to ask this." Sergeant Mars winked and smiled playfully:
"Are you trying to say why she behaves so maturely even though she looks like a young girl, and she became a lieutenant at such a young age? I can tell you the reason."
Li Nuo was all ears.
Sergeant Mars continued:
"When promoted to the third level "Imperial Fist", reverse growth may occur. Such was the case with Captain Murphy's. After completing the reverse growth, her appearance will be fixed and remain in the same state as when the reverse growth phenomenon ended until her life reaches the end.
"The Captain Murphy we see now is actually her when she was young, about 19 years old. But in fact, hey, she may actually be much older than us."
Li Nuo seemed to have some realization, his eyes flashed.
The system once determined that Martha Murphy's age was approximately 19 years old.
From this point of view, the "19 years old" here refers to the physical age of 19 years old, not the real age.
Sergeant Mars waved his hand and said:
"Well, of course, Captain Murphy's appearance is just superficial..."
"Severe burns?" Li Nuo spat out one word.
Sergeant Mars glanced at Li Nuo in surprise:
"She even told you this... Well, yes, yes, her outermost skin is fake, it is a layer of bionic skin, and the inner layer is her real skin, just like a severe burn. This Left behind by the death storm."
Li Nuo took a slight breath:
“She was such a brave pioneer.”
"I think so…"
Outside the car window, weak sunlight scattered from the horizon, making the sky a little brighter.
It seems that the sun is about to hang high in the sky, but layers of clouds still cover the borderland of suffering, blocking the sunlight that should originally shine on the earth.
Sergeant Mars had long been accustomed to this sight. He just glanced at the ruins on both sides of the road and then withdrew his gaze.
Li Nuo raised his head, his gaze fell on the dark clouds through the lathe, feeling slightly uneasy.
At some point, the amount of energy required to deconstruct the "abnormal cloud" increased from 1,000 energy points per 1% to 1,050 points.
There is no doubt that the "abnormal cloud" has become stronger.
…
Colabo Legion Fortress.
This is the remains of the ancient Tardis dynasty.
The TARDIS Empire has been renovated from the inside out using modern technology.
Use cement to repair the gaps in the city wall, send metal pipes into the inside of the wall, install steam boilers underground, etc.
The ancient military fortress has been given a new life form.
This is the second time Li Nuo has arrived at this steamy fortress.
The place is still bustling with people.
On the crowded streets, soldiers hurriedly shuttled through the white steam.
The steam trains stopped on the platform one after another, unloading the food and medical supplies transported from the hinterland of the empire, loading domestic garbage and medical waste, and embarked on their return journey amid air waves and honking whistles.
As soon as Sergeant Mars drove into the fort, he had to stop in front of a huge crowd.
He turned the steering wheel and parked the car in the carport next to the city wall. He put his right hand on the back seat of the car and found a private's coat.
"Put this on. Your criminal uniform is too eye-catching. I'll take you directly to the medical department."
Li Nuo put on the private's coat, followed Sergeant Mars out of the car, pushed through the crowd and headed to the legion building.
The so-called building is actually a castle left by an ancient dynasty.
There is a word that can vividly describe its current appearance, and that is "a steam-emitting hedgehog."
Countless metal pipes protrude from the stone bricks on the castle's surface, exposing their pipe openings to the air and spewing white steam outwards.
Seen from a distance, the entire castle is wrapped in steam, like a sky fortress suspended in the clouds.
The air humidity has increased, and you can catch handfuls of small water droplets just by swiping it on the wall.
Li Nuo was not used to this wet environment.
Sergeant Mars was not surprised.
He led Li Nuo into the front of the legion building, passed through checkpoints guarded by guards, and arrived at the third floor of the castle.
The decoration style of this place is similar to that of the inpatient department of a hospital.
After walking out of the stairs, a metal gate blocked irrelevant people.
Sergeant Mars leaned on the glass window of the metal gate, peered in, and knocked on the door panel with his knuckles.
After a while, a sweet-looking little nurse hurried over, pushed open the gate, and threw herself into the arms of Sergeant Mars.
Li Nuo raised his eyebrows slightly...
This is probably the reason why Sergeant Mars is reluctant to leave the regiment life! ?
What kind of bullshit thrill of battle, what kind of illusory imperial glory, why are girls so important? !
The little nurse was just about to say something to Sergeant Mars when she suddenly noticed a stranger standing next to her. A blush spread quickly from her cheeks to her ears...
"This is Lenno Jarvis, my team member."
Sergeant Mars pointed to the nurse holding his arm and smiled sheepishly:
"She is Merlin Lockard, the nurse here. Just call her Merlin. She doesn't like people calling her by her last name because she thinks it's too masculine."
Li Nuo raised his hands and placed them in front of him to indicate their heights.
The difference is about ten centimeters.
Li Nuo nodded seriously:
"Not bad, not bad, a perfect match. Just the height difference of 'knowing the basics'."
Sergeant Mars looked confused and didn't quite understand the meaning.
Nurse Merlin was stunned for a moment, and her lovely face turned red instantly.
She clenched her small fist, hammered Sergeant Mars on the chest, and then buried her face in the other man's arms.
Only then did Sergeant Mars understand the connotation of Li Nuo's words...
"Hahaha~ Just a little joke."
Hey, the aborigines of this world are really simple.
Li Nuo laughed in front of the blushing two people.
He has been in a good mood since taking off the shock collar.
His mood improved not because he was treated as a human being, but because he had taken an important step in the direction of freedom.
He knew very well that the Tatis Empire was closed and extremely exclusive, demonstrating the emperor's totalitarianism at every turn.
As an unstable factor, if you don't seek to escape from suffering, you will have the only fate of destruction.
