Cryostorage in the Deep

Zhang San woke up from the effects of anesthesia and looked blankly at his surroundings.

The next second, Zhang San seemed to suddenly remember something. He hurriedly looked at his arms, legs, and so on.

Rumors are that mechanical prosthetics can affect limb coordination and smoothness of movement, while biological prosthetics may retain some habits of their biological predecessors...

Thinking of this, Zhang San couldn't help but shiver.

It was all because he accidentally had half of his arm and half of his leg bitten off by a beast from the secret realm. Otherwise, he wouldn't have fallen to the point of having to install prosthetics.

Thinking this way, Zhang San first reached down toward his crotch—

"Fuck!"

Abruptly, an exclamation filled with shock came from the ward.

Although the pronunciation of the two words disappeared in an instant, one could hear the change in emotions from shock to pleasant surprise in that brief sound.

On the hospital bed, Zhang San looked left and right furtively, confirming no one was there before sneakily pulling up the quilt...

"Fuck!!"

Suddenly another exclamation rang out, although it was the same two words, this time the pronunciation of the two words was even shorter and more forceful!

One could even hear the fear of losing something precious due to extreme pleasant surprise in the voice of the speaker!

Next, the sound of hastily tearing toilet paper came from the ward...

Half an hour passed.

Zhang San waved his right arm limply, "Fuck..."

It was the same two words, this time full of endless chagrin.

Suddenly, Zhang San looked at his left arm, which was his newest mechanical prosthetic.

Soon, "Fuck??!"

These two words rang out again, infinite pleasant surprise mixed with excitement and trembling sound...

After repeated testing, Zhang San was very satisfied with his biological prosthetic. At this moment, the masculine aura in his heart was simply overflowing!

Next, Zhang San carefully experienced his two mechanical prosthetics as well. To Zhang San's pleasant surprise, he found that no matter if it was the mechanical or biological prosthetic, it was surprisingly smooth for him to use!

Even better than his original biological limbs!

That biological prosthetic didn't need to be said, after all it was an extension, which was enough to prove Zhang San's original one wasn't that good to use.

However, this arm and leg, as a warrior, after Zhang San got out of bed and moved around in place for a bit, he knew that the hundreds of thousands he had spent were totally worth it!

At this moment, Zhang San looked at his left arm and right leg incredulously. As a warrior, he fought various secret realm beasts for many years, leaving many hidden injuries on his body.

Those hidden injuries more or less affected his movements and attacks, but now, Zhang San felt that his punching and moving speed was about one third faster than before!

What concept is one third faster?

For warriors, increasing speed by one third can basically be considered as increasing strength by one third, or even more!

Next, Zhang San stretched out the palm of his mechanical prosthetic arm hesitantly, boom—

A flame instantly shot up high!

At this moment, huge waves churned in Zhang San's heart!

Because the speed at which this mechanical arm could converge spiritual energy was half again as fast as his previous biological arm!

In a flash, Zhang San realized he had been tricked!

Of course not by Lu Yuan who had just performed surgery on him, but by those rumors from outside!

Those who said that mechanical prosthetics affect body recovery and growth, affect smoothness of movement, they were all fucking talking nonsense!

In an instant, excited tears flowed from Zhang San's eyes, "Technology really is the primary productive force..."

Later, Zhang San washed his face and decided he should properly thank the young doctor who performed surgery on him.

If not for this doctor, he would probably still be fooled by those rumors in ignorance!

In an excited state, Zhang San went straight from the ward to Lu Yuan's office, but other than an unwashed bowl, Zhang San couldn't find Lu Yuan.

Seeing it was already dark outside, Zhang San couldn't help but mutter: where could Doctor Lu go this late?

Thinking Lu Yuan definitely hadn't gone far, Zhang San started looking for him room by room in the clinic.

But Lu Yuan's clinic was a bit big, Zhang San could only be patient and search slowly.

The X-27 Region was originally sparsely populated, there weren't many people who could afford to open a clinic.

Therefore, when Lu Yuan put up his shingle, the regional director of the X-27 Region immediately waved his big hand and sold the old medical academy left over from that period, building included, to Lu Yuan for one dollar.

Land wasn't worth much during this period, the director was naturally very happy to be able to attract rare technical talent like Lu Yuan.

But Lu Yuan only wanted to open a small clinic, he didn't need a huge medical academy for now. He just temporarily only used the administration building of the medical academy, making simple renovations.

The main building had 5 floors total. The top three floors were used as wards, the second floor had a few operating rooms of various sizes, the first floor was Lu Yuan's office, consultation rooms, changing room, and nurse Liu Yuan's break room.

Down below there were still three floors. These three floors...the three floors altogether had a floor area of over 7500 square meters each, about the size of a soccer field.

Added up the three floors had over 20,000 square meters, the size of three soccer fields. This huge area on the three floors was all Lu Yuan's freezer warehouses.

Filled with Lu Yuan's "precious treasures".

Zhang San walked all over the first floor but didn't see anyone. His gaze involuntarily fell on the door handle leading downstairs to the basement.

Zhang San hesitated for a moment. He saw there was a note posted on the door to the basement: Visitors allowed during this time period, please be cautious when entering.

Instantly, a disdainful smile appeared on Zhang San's face. He himself was a flame ability user with an ability coefficient of 0.6, what was there to be afraid of?

Since the owner said visitors were allowed, Zhang San didn't stand on ceremony and directly pushed open the door to enter.

After a long corridor, Zhang San successfully entered Lu Yuan's treasured area.

But just after entering the outer area of the basement, Zhang San was instantly stunned.

A dissected blood swamp crocodile hung quietly in a freezer compartment, very eye-catching in this prominent position on the first floor basement.

A chill instantly rose from Zhang San's butt crack, he had subconsciously let out a fart just now.

The rising hot air rapidly cooled in the freezer warehouse, making Zhang San feel his entire back go cold.

No other reason, blood swamp crocodiles were relatively common on the outskirts of the X-27 Region. Zhang San's severed arm and leg were bitten off by a blood swamp crocodile.

"Hmph! Hanging one of these things as a facade is pretty scary, must have cost a lot..."

Zhang San consoled himself, and continued walking into the freezer warehouse.

When he reached the second freezer compartment, Zhang San suddenly felt his feet become extremely heavy. Hanging in this freezer was a dissected three headed blood swamp crocodile king.

Zhang San quietly swallowed his saliva. He turned his head to look at the endless rows of freezer compartments in front of him, and had to use all his strength to take a few more steps forward.

Plop—

This time, Zhang San who had just walked to the third freezer compartment sat down heavily on the floor. His face was pale, his whole body shaking.

Hanging in the third freezer compartment was a person.

Also dissected.

From Zhang San's angle, he could clearly see the person's insides—completely empty!

There was also a label posted outside this freezer, it said: Flame ability user, ability coefficient 0.8.
