Chapter Sixteen: Transplant, Amnesia
As soon as Mù Chén Xīng finished explaining the plan to plunder the movie's time-space, Lǎo Zhōu and Lǎo Xià were immediately shocked by this harvest. Not only did they completely obtain all the items planned to be taken, but they also unexpectedly obtained a large number of other high-value items hidden in that world beyond their original plan.
It really gives them a feeling of playing role-playing games, completing tasks to get items. At the same time, looking for hidden items in the plot and getting a huge surprise.
Old Zhou smiled and reached out to Mu Chen Xing, saying: "So you've also obtained the mind-controlling drug that Sui Ke made using his son's brain tissue? Hand it over quickly, we'll analyze its composition later and see if we can synthesize it artificially. This is an extremely potent hallucinogenic substance, perfect for creating capture-type weapons to deal with biological organisms!"
After all, the function of that thing in the movie is indeed not covered, and among all the mutant humans, only Professor X with the strongest mental power can be immune to its hallucinatory effect. Even Tier 3 mutant humans like Cyclops cannot withstand it, and after being administered this drug, they become one of Striker's pawns, which is a great tool for manipulation and control. So when Old Zhou heard that Mu Chen got this thing, he was immediately moved.
Mudustar hastily pulled out a special medicine from his own pocket and handed it to Old Zhou, while looking at him with an expectant face: "Old Zhou, you must make sure this thing is synthesized successfully. With this stuff, it's too easy to undermine the opponent's willpower. In the future, in the movie world, I can easily obtain intelligence or control others' actions by relying on this medicine and the mind connection that is about to be transplanted, bringing great convenience to our looting operations."
Lao Zhou nodded as he looked at the special medicine in his hand: "Then I'll try my best to see, it shouldn't be easy, so for this period of time, I'll make these special medicines my main research goal. Strive to develop them as soon as possible."
Just as Old Zhou and Mu Chen Xing were discussing the medicine, Old Xia on the other side stared blankly at the large bucket of liquid Edelgas alloy in a special container on the ground.
Due to the great success of this raid, a large amount of precious material called Eddga was obtained. However, what kind of item these special metals should be made into is puzzling him. Eddga is not available anywhere else, and using it sparingly means there's less of it. A good way to use it must be thought out carefully.
Mudustar turned his head and saw Old Xia staring blankly, so he shouted at him: "What's wrong with you, Old Xia? You're completely dazed!"
The old Xia immediately woke up from his meditation, looked at the old Zhou and others who were looking at him, and said seriously: "Isn't it because of the use of these Edelstahl alloys? After all, these alloys are really too precious, I don't want to waste even a little bit, lest I regret it later."
Mudanxing looked at the large bucket of liquid Edelmann alloy and thought for a moment before asking Lao Xia, "This is easy to handle. I've just thought of a use for this Edelmann alloy. If we use it to reinforce the superalloy skeleton inside Athena, her defensive capabilities and attack power will both double. And if her combat strength increases, doesn't that mean our own strength increases too?"
Lao Xia thought for a moment and frowned, saying: "Your idea is indeed good, but once the Edelmann alloy cools down, it will be indestructible. How can we get these high-temperature molten alloys onto Athena's skeleton without damaging her internal circuits? At the same time, when reinforcing Athena's skeleton, if we're not careful and let the molten alloy flow into the joint area, that would be a disaster. By then, her entire joint area might become unusable. These are all thorny problems."
Mudustar's request is indeed very much in line with the current situation, using Edelstahl alloy to reinforce Athena's frame is a very good proposal, but it's more troublesome to operate, if not handled properly, Athena will be scrapped.
Mudustar thought for a moment and then said, "Then let's disassemble Athena's metal frame to reinforce it. For example, we can start by covering her fingers with Edelstahl alloy one by one. With your help, I think Athena should be able to dismantle her own frame. This way, the situation you mentioned won't happen!"
Lao Xia thought for a moment and looked at Mu Chen Xing, "Your proposal is indeed feasible. Now we just need to find a way to quickly extract the parts that need to be reinforced from the liquid Eddington alloy. You all know the properties of Eddington alloy, once it cools and solidifies, it's difficult to process!"
Lao Zhou suddenly spoke up from the side and reminded him: "Lao Xia, it seems you've forgotten about the ability that's going to be transplanted into your body tonight!"
Lao Xia slapped his own head, smiling awkwardly and saying "Geez, look at my memory! Only when I have the ability of Wan Jing Wang can I directly attach the parts that need to be strengthened with Edel Reid alloy. And in the future, whatever shape I want to turn liquid Edel Reid alloy into, I can do it all with metal manipulation. Lao Zhou might as well transplant the ability for me now, you've reminded me and I'm getting impatient!"
Lao Zhou and Mu Chen Xing sighed at the same time, Lao Xia this guy is indeed anxious enough. But it's okay, anyway there are no other things to do now, doing the ability transplant for him earlier can also be used to see the effect. So the three of them immediately headed towards Lao Zhou's laboratory, preparing for some necessary preparations before the transplant surgery.
The next day, early in the morning, in the second floor of the villa, in Lao Xia's bedroom which was full of modern simple style, Muxin Xing and Lao Zhou were sitting on the chair beside the bed eating breakfast.
Yesterday, under Lao Xia's strong request, Lao Zhou and Mu Chen Xing didn't even eat dinner before immediately starting the ability transplant surgery for him.
And this time helping Old Zhou was Muxun Xing. After several hours, they finally completed the operation safely.
However, Lao Xia was sleeping like a dead pig under the effect of anesthesia, and Mo Xingyun had no choice but to carry him back to his room. Then he stayed with Lao Zhou at his bedside for the whole night.
Just as Mudan Xing and Old Zhou had just finished their breakfast, Old Xia, who was sleeping in bed, moved his eyes and seemed to have woken up.
Mudanxing looked at the person on the bed and said to Old Zhou: "It seems like he's awake, but he sure can sleep!"
Lao Zhou smiled and asked Lao Xia, who had just woken up from bed with a yawn and sleepy eyes: "Lao Xia, how are you feeling now? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?"
Lao Xia stretched his waist and said: "I feel that everything is fine, right, now let's try the ability of Wan Ci Wang and then talk!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Xia, who couldn't stay still, immediately demonstrated his abilities on a metal plate not far away. The plate flew up, but it was tilted and gave people the feeling that it would fall down at any moment. It didn't have the same controlled feeling as when Wan Cimang demonstrated his powers.
"Looks like you need to practice more in the future, with your current control skills, you can't even bring out the mighty power of Wan Jing Wang! And this way, it's not safe to do Athena's enhancement work either."
Lao Xia was actually quite dissatisfied with his current abilities, so "it's fine, I'll just practice more in the future. Athena's strengthening plan isn't urgent anyway! However, using this ability is still a bit tiring."
Lao Zhou looked at Lao Xia's control and said, "Lao Xia, did you notice that Wang Magneto is a fourth-level mutant in the movie? His ability shouldn't be so weak, right? It seems that after the transplant surgery, the power of these abilities has decreased somewhat."
Lao Xia nodded and said: "It seems that's indeed the case. I feel like I can only control relatively light metal objects for now."
Just as Mudan Xing was about to speak, Athena's voice came from outside the room.
"Reporting to Commander, Doctor, Target Dead Girl has awakened. However, her current state seems to have developed some problems!"
Upon hearing Athena's report, Mochou Xing and Lao Zhou couldn't help but look at each other in dismay. What on earth had happened? They had to go take a look right away. Thus, the two of them immediately dropped the topic they were just discussing and rushed towards the guest room.
Lao Xia saw Lao Zhou and Mu Chen Xing hastily walking out of the room, so he immediately followed them without even putting on his shoes, shouting "Wait for me, let's go together!"
·······························································
When they rushed to the room, there was no sound of fighting inside, and the room was intact. At this time, the death girl in her pajamas sat quietly on the bed, while Athena guarded beside her, but the death girl's eyes looking at them were very confused.
Seeing her like this, Mu Chen Xing and Old Zhou subconsciously felt that something might really be wrong. The Death Girl now looked just like an old cliché often seen in movies.
The dead woman looked at the three people who appeared in front of her with a puzzled tone and asked: "Who are you, where is this place, and who am I? Head, head is dizzy, why can't I remember anything!"
Upon hearing these words from the Death Maiden's mouth, Old Zhou and his two companions looked at each other in unison, their faces filled with shock. No way, she had actually become disheartened, and it seemed to be quite severe.
But if the Death Maiden really has amnesia, then it's a stroke of luck for these three people in front of her. This way, they can avoid worrying about her causing trouble in this world like Mudan Xing and others did.
In their view, it was better for Death Girl to never recover her memories forever.
Lao Xia looked at the still bewildered and helpless Death Girl, thought for a moment, and suddenly spoke in an extremely serious tone: "You are my daughter. Due to an accident in the past, you were unconscious for a very long time. You've only just woken up now!"
After hearing Lao Xia's words, the dead woman looked at him in confusion and asked: "I am your daughter, what is my name? And who are they?"
Lao Zhou and Mu Chen Xing heard Lao Xia's irresponsible words, and they couldn't help but stare at this reckless guy with wide eyes. He actually thought of taking the Death Maiden as his daughter, it was really surprising that he could think of such a thing. This temporarily amnesiac beauty was not some weak woman, but an extremely formidable female warrior.
Muxin Xing looked at the Death Maiden, who now seemed like an ordinary amnesiac woman, and quietly asked Old Zhou beside him, "Old Zhou, what's wrong with the Death Maiden? Is it because Athena injected her with too much anesthesia?"
Old Zhou furrowed his brow and gazed carefully at the Death Girl, then after a moment of contemplation, he spoke out his current conjecture: "I think this is one of the reasons. Also, since the Death Girl was controlled by Strick in the past, she must have been frequently injected with that powerful hallucinogen, which may have affected her brain! That's why this situation occurred. And you guys were also subjected to Professor X's mental attack at the time, so that's another reason. However, all of this is just speculation, and we need to conduct a thorough examination of her brain to find out the real reason!"
Mudan Xing looked at Old Xia who was comforting his daughter and asked cautiously, "Is there still hope for her to recover her memory?"
Lao Zhou looked at Muxin Xing with a puzzled expression: "You really hope she can recover her memory as soon as possible, don't you!"
What an international joke, Xue Chenxing certainly doesn't want the dead woman to regain her memory. If possible, it's best if she stays like this for the rest of her life. That way, they can avoid a lot of trouble.
Muxin Xing immediately spoke up, "Of course not! Since things have turned out this way, we should still discuss the arrangements after Death Girl's..."
Just as they were discussing the arrangements after the death of the girl, Old Zhou and Mu Chen Xing almost fell to the ground upon hearing a sentence from Old Xia.
All he saw was Old Xia being extremely irresponsible, talking nonsense to the Death Girl: "Girl! Your surname is Xia, your full name is Xia Linxue. Look over there, that fat guy is your uncle, his surname is Zhou. And that pale and clean-looking young man is your fiancé, named Mu Chenxing."
"Dead girl, no, I should be called Xia Lin Yue now. She looked curiously at the young man in front of her and said: "Fiancé! Is he really my fiancé? So young!"
Mudustar wanted to rush over and strangle this guy who was spouting nonsense, but when he saw Death Girl's inquiring gaze turned on him, he knew the misunderstanding had gone too far.
