Chapter 123 Instructor’s Reward

Walking in the underground river, Yi Chen's thoughts still stayed on what just happened and on the umbilical cord.

 It is somewhat similar to the umbilical cord in the church. This thing is like an independent life. It seems to like to stick to Yi Chen and even regards Yi Chen as its 'owner'.

Considering that the method of obtaining this [relic] may violate the rules of gentlemen and Zion, Yi Chen chose to hide it and delete what happened at the root of the high wall and the girl Leni from this investigation.

 It just so happened that the only person who came into contact with these things was Yi Chen.

Since the "black umbilical cord" prefers to stay in an organic environment, Yi Chen tried to pull the umbilical cord wrapped around his arm toward the opening of the chest so that it could stay with the plant's heart.

The umbilical cord seemed to be able to sense Yi Chen's thoughts and slowly moved towards the heart.

 When it comes into contact with the plant heart, it seems to detect that the heart is a temporary product and not the original organ.

The umbilical cord actually flows out from the port, a black liquid symbolizing rebirth, reshaping the heart.

certainly,

This kind of complete reconstruction is dozens or hundreds of times more complicated than repairing the left arm.

“Relics are not only used for breakthroughs, they also have special effects, similar to [Accessories]. As long as you carry it on your body, you can exert the corresponding passive effect.

This "black umbilical cord" is completely like a physical cheating device. As long as it is worn on the body, any injury can be slowly healed under its influence.

Moreover, it does not require nutritional intake itself. According to the records in the books, these relics related to ancient times can be connected with the old world through their special structures, internal surface engravings, etc., and can directly obtain energy supplements from there.

  No wonder there are no relics with clearly marked prices in Zion. Who wouldn’t want such things? 』

 When the two returned to the ground, the chickens were waiting here.

The timid Xiao Pei did not take the opportunity to escape. It seemed to have decided to become Jin's pet and led the chickens to Zion for a pet test.

 As the high walls wither and collapse, the way out of the forest is no longer blocked.

Even beforehand, we met Mr. Wilmer, the temporary director of [Black Eye Stronghold] outside the tree wall, who came to check the situation.

He was first amazed that the two people actually ended this incident and even brought back a group of controllable avian disease variants.

However, when he learned that all his teammates were killed, his eyes immediately dimmed, and he forced a smile to congratulate the two of them before returning to the base alone.

 In such a world, although death has become commonplace, the death of a former friend in battle can still destroy and torture a person's spirit.

The luxurious carriage arrived on time to pick up Jin and Yi Chen. The chickens, except Xiao Pei, were all placed in the bottom compartment of the carriage.

 Lying on the soft bed, Yi Chen did not feel as comfortable as expected, and even found it difficult to fall asleep.

 Suddenly, the voice of Little Grape came from the consciousness:

　　　In such a world, mediocre people will surely face death in advance, and there is nothing to worry about. As long as we are alive, enjoy the moment.

 Look at that guy Jin, he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. 』

indeed,

 Jin’s snoring has been heard from the clinic,

The left leg is hanging under the bed, the right leg is moved to the other side, and the head is tilted to the side, drool is constantly flowing from the corner of the mouth. This sleeping position is indeed consistent with a state of exhaustion of physical energy after experiencing life and death.

Xiao Pei huddled on the ground very obediently, motionless.

　　　‘No, I don’t think much about death. Survival of the fittest, I still know this very well. I was just thinking about the issues between humans and patients...』

Little Grape seemed to understand the meaning, and responded with a weird smile:

　　　『What’s so interesting about this? Don’t you have your own set of criteria for judgment? Don't care about the difference or not, just use your criteria to distinguish.

 It is because I like you that I am willing to take risks with you.

If you really want to know the answer, you will naturally know it when you reach a higher level, go to a deeper diseased area, or gain insight into the true face of this world.

 Hurry up and break through the "human limits" so that I can eat more delicious grapes. 』

 While Little Putao was talking, fleshy threads kept flowing out of his mouth, and he seemed to have gained some new abilities.

　　【Gate of Zion】

Since bringing back such a batch of infected animals, quarantine personnel stationed between the city gate towers need to conduct pathological, mental and potential hazard inspections.

 After receiving the inspection report, the chickens will also be sent to Hippocrates Hospital for further testing.

 It will take at least three days to get the final test results.

  【Gethsemane】

 Senior Instructor-Bailey Herta is still the same as last time, with black stockings just stepped on the ground,

She was holding her recently collected new fingers, stroking them while listening to Yi Chen's detailed summary of the entire incident.

After hearing that the two men worked together to bring down the entire church and prevent the birth of open source,

 Bailey's expression only changed slightly, and she spoke in a normal tone:

“The matter is actually so serious, I should send more people to follow you... If you two little guys die, the loss will be too serious.

  I will report it to the [Gentlemen’s Hall] based on the investigation results you stated verbally.

The guys above will also come to you in the near future to ask about the details of the event, and the corresponding rewards will be sent out in a few days.

I believe that the higher-ups will not be stingy if they can prevent the birth of open source, the pathological expansion of the forest, and kill such a church organization when the gray area is just beginning to form.

 Be prepared to be praised, and then take a good rest for a few days. "

Jin was already a little impatient. She couldn't wait to go back and sort and process the meat in the bag.

One hand pulled Yi Chen's arm, and the other waved goodbye to the instructor.

Bailey stretched out her hand to signal,

“William, please stay for a moment. I have something to ask alone. After all, this is your first time to complete the task assigned here.

　　　【金】, you are still waiting outside. "

 Similar situations, similar scenes.

 When Kim left the office,

 The toes between the fishnet stockings pinched Yi Chen's tie, and an irresistible force came on.

Snapped! Half of Yi Chen's body was dragged onto the desk.

Bailey pushed up the frame of her glasses, her eyes full of interest in this young man.

“I didn’t expect you to come back intact, and you seemed to get along very well with Jin... You are truly worthy of being accepted by the first gentleman.

Moreover, your body seems to be a little stronger than before you went on the mission.

 Has your physique reached【4】? "

"Yes...by the way~ I brought back two gifts for you during the mission."

"oh?"

 Bailey was slightly interested, and temporarily let go of the soles of her feet between the ties, letting Yi Chen get his suitcase.

 Two completely different fingers were gently placed on the table by Yi Chen.

A thick rod covered with hard rock and showing the color of steel.

 A piece covered with wrinkles, more like a chicken foot than a finger,

 Following that,

Bailey slapped the village chief's fingers to pieces. She didn't seem to be interested in the thick fingers with no beauty in the rock formations.

 Then he gently twisted Granny Chicken’s fingers and put them in front of her face.

Put out a soft and curved tongue from your mouth and gently lick the surface of your fingers, feeling deeply through the touch of the tongue coating.

“It tastes good! It’s been a long time since I’ve encountered a bird-hybrid finger, and it also has a strong smell of revenge. It’s really good, so I accepted it.

 Tell me, how do you want me to reward you?

This is Gethsemane, so put aside some earthly gentlemanly rules for a moment and say what you really think. "

 Bailey leaned back on the office chair,

Hold his cheek sideways with one hand, and pinch Grandma Chicken’s fingers with the other hand.

Hands are raised on the table, and the hidden meaning is conveyed to Yi Chen through the twitching of the toes.

Yi Chen looked directly at the impeccable structure of the toes between the black nets and the perfect connection between the soles of the feet and the calves, and said firmly:

 “Ask instructor Bailey to teach me some body skills...”

 “Ah~that’s it?”
