The Lone Wolf of Tomorrow's Ark

The third is because of the order of Rhine Life's high-level executives, she was asked to contribute her knowledge in the experiment.

"Don't worry, Ifrit, everything will be fine, you won't be an infected person after this time." Gently touching Ifrit's head, Selea walked to Hemer and asked, "What's the matter?" Are you sure about the next experiment?"

"To be honest, I don't know." Hemer put the report on the table with a serious expression, "The report said that when the high-level research team found that the origin stone reached a critical point, it would quickly decompose, so as to reach the level of protection against the infected. Cure, I hope their experimental results are correct."

"Actually, I still maintain a neutral attitude towards this research report, but I have no right to deny it." The speaker was a white-haired shoulder-length man with a pair of ear feathers on both sides of his head, orange pupils, and wearing a A girl with a wide dress and an expressionless face.

The data maintainer - White-faced Owl, is Hemer's friend, because the ore disease eroded her nervous system, causing her to be very lethargic, and her own sanity has been on the verge of losing, so her way of speaking is as emotionless as artificial intelligence .

"White-faced owl, why do you say that?"

"This report was just sent out today. We haven't done this kind of experiment, so we don't know what the actual situation is, and the attitude of the higher-ups is obviously very wrong." The white-faced owl spoke emotionlessly, while quickly typing on the computer with both hands. Check the data.

"Well...Actually, I also think that the performance of the high-level is not right. They have been urging us, but there is no way. The high-level has spoken. If we don't do it, the high-level will take Ifrit away. I don't worry."

"It seems that if you really don't do it, you have to do it." Serena glanced at Ifrit. Although the two races are different, Serena has always regarded Ifrit as her sister. She doesn't want Ifrit suffered the slightest bit of damage.

"Well, White-faced Owl, you go to inject Ifrit with anesthesia, and I will open the communication with the high-level."

The white-faced owl nodded, and went to give Ifrit an injection of anesthetic. Ifrit just smiled and watched the white-faced owl give himself the injection, obviously getting used to it.

After a while, Ifrit fell asleep. Seeing this, the white-faced owl gave Hemo an "OK" gesture, then put on a respirator for Ifrit, and put her in the into a huge culture tank filled with green liquid.

Seeing that the two were ready, Hemo turned on the communication: "The preparations for the ore disease removal experiment are complete, and the experimental body is in place. There is no abnormality at present."

After listening to Hemo's report, an electronic voice came out: "Very good, ready to start the experiment."

"Understood." Hemo pressed a button, and saw two mechanical arms equipped with needle tubes lowered from the top of the culture tank, and two tubes at the end were connected to an airtight container outside.

"Start the injection." Hemer pressed another button, and the catheters of the two needles were injected with a black liquid with reflective particles, which was the origin stone concentrate, and then the needles were pierced into Ifrit's two arms superior.

At first, Ifrit didn't have any special reaction. The white-faced owl kept typing on the computer keyboard, recording Ifrit's body data and the radiation intensity of the Origin Stone at any time.

Hemer was also constantly observing Ifrit's reaction, and at the same time reported to the higher-ups: "Inject 10ml of the origin stone concentrate, so far the experimental subject has no adverse reactions."

"Go ahead, increase the dose."

"But, shouldn't she be allowed to adapt for a while? If the dose is increased rashly..."

"I said continue! Are you questioning us? This is the only way to treat her! Once this experiment is successful, all infected people in Terra will be saved!"

"……Yes."

Perhaps because of concern, Hemer did not have any doubts, and pressed the button to increase the dose.

But as the dose increased, Ifrit's body began to tremble slightly, and then began to convulse, as if he was enduring some inhuman pain. At the same time, starting from the culture tank, the temperature of the laboratory began to rise continuously.

The white-faced owl compared the data and said: "The heart rate of the test subject is slightly higher than the normal level, and the origin stone in the body shows signs of growth."

"What?!" Serena heard that the source stone of Ifrit not only did not disintegrate, but showed signs of growth. She was anxious: "Then what kind of experiment?! Are you trying to kill her?"

Hearing what Serena said, the higher-ups just said without emotion: "That's just a normal phenomenon. How can it be possible to get rid of the ore disease without any pain?"

"This..." Serena was a little speechless. Having never done an experiment, she was indeed not qualified to question the decision of the higher-ups, but at this time, something unexpected happened.

"Shua! Shua! Shua! Bang dong!"

Seeing that the iron door of the laboratory was broken into several pieces, Phoenix jumped in and saw Ifrit who was struggling in the culture tank, and said angrily: "Stop me! Do you want to kill her!"

"Hemer, what happened?"

"It's nothing, it's just an intruder, Serena, drive him out!" Hemer looked at Phoenix with an unfriendly expression, probably thinking that he was here to cause trouble.

Obviously, Serena thought the same way. Just now, because the high-level officials were holding back their anger, and now there is another person who wants to prevent Ifrit from receiving treatment, so Serena decided to break his leg and throw him out.

Seeing Serena holding a shield in her left hand and holding a pistol-like thing in her right hand, blocking herself, Phoenix looked cold and said, "What are you trying to do? Do you know what you are doing to her!"

"I don't care what to do! I just want to throw you out!" After finishing speaking, Saria directly set up her shield and rushed towards Phoenix.

But Phoenix's goal was not her, he was just here to save Ifrit, so he decisively launched a quick jump, trying to pass over Serena, and it went smoothly at first, Phoenix quickly came to Serena, stepped on When the shield took off, however, just as Phoenix was briefly suspended in the air above Serreia, Serreia's pupils shrank, and she sent the gun away with her right hand, and grabbed Phoenix's left ankle.

Serena pulled hard, and Phoenix was thrown back by her.

After somersaulting twice and landing on the ground to stabilize his figure, Phoenix was a little skeptical of life and thought: "System, why is there another one that can crack my speed?" !Is this still a god-level skill? '

[The host can only be blamed for being unlucky. Catherine and Shining are due to their keen perception and rich experience, but this time it is only because of Sereya's racial advantage. Her race is Vaivan, which is the western dragon. , with very good dynamic vision, she saw the movement trajectory of the host in just a moment. 】

'Tsk, what a hassle. '

Just when the two couldn't hold on, the higher-ups forced Hemer to increase the dose of the origin stone concentrate again, and this time, Ifrit made a terrible change.

"what--!"

Following Ifrit's scream, flames of different sizes appeared in the laboratory, many flammable materials began to burn by themselves, and the liquid in the culture tank also began to boil. At the same time, Ifrit's body Large blocks of origin stones began to grow gradually.

The white-faced owl said: "The heart rate of the test subject is too high, black abnormalities appear in the body, and the ore disease spreads over a large area!"

"What?! Why is this happening?"

Serena was shocked and didn't understand why Ifrit's ore disease got worse.

Seeing Ifrit struggling in pain, Phoenix's expression became a little hideous, "I said! Get out of the way!"

Following Phoenix's roar, orange lines appeared on Fenrir again, but this time they spread directly to the Origin Stone on Phoenix's right face.

"Huh!"

Phoenix kicked directly on Saria's shield with a flying kick. The huge force almost made Saria's shield drop, and she slid on the ground for about two meters before shedding the force.

Phoenix bowed his waist slightly, his black eyes stared at Serena, "I'll say it one last time! Get out of the way!"

"Roar--!"

At this time, a giant wolf slowly appeared behind Phoenix, whose appearance was very similar to Fenrir in Norse mythology.

Fenrir let out a growl, and as it appeared, Phoenix's right eye turned orange, and a white '◇' figure appeared in it.

Maybe it's because Fenrir's phantom is too oppressive, and I saw a strong flame erupting from the cultivation tank, blasting straight at Phoenix. Normally, Phoenix would definitely choose to defend, or temporarily avoid the edge.

However, Phoenix seems to be affected by the phantom of Fenrir, and now he has become more violent and bloodthirsty. At the same time, a large number of ice crystals condensed on Phoenix's body.

"Ice space! Give it to me! Freeze it!"...

ps: After writing one or two more chapters, there will be a few years of transition, and then the journey of Kjerag will start.

Chapter 21 Negotiations with Hemer

Ice crystals, endless ice crystals.

When Shining and the others arrived late, what they saw was the entrance to the laboratory, which was almost covered with ice crystals.

Mel opened his mouth wide in shock, and said, "I'll go to hell. What's going on? How did a good laboratory become a cold storage?!"

"Uh...this...Phoenix must have done it, right? After all, he is the only one here who knows how to use ice." Linguang tried to knock hard on the ice spreading out from the door, but in the end it just made a 'dang-dang' sound, and couldn't knock it at all. broken.

Mel tried to see the situation in the laboratory through the cracks in the ice, but there were too many ice crystals and he couldn't see anything. "Tsk, stand a little farther away. MIBO-X, activate the flame emitter."

With Mel's order, a 'MIBO-X' stepped forward, opened its mouth and stretched out a small steel pipe, and kept making a 'hissing' sound. After that, an electric spark flashed on the mouth of the steel pipe, directly igniting the jets ejected from the steel pipe. The gas forms a large flame.

However, although the flame is large, the melting speed of the ice crystals is slow enough. It took about 30 seconds to melt about half a decimeter. This is because Phoenix's origin stone skill has reached lv. The temperature of the ice kept dropping, and at the same time, the hardness of the ice also reached a very high level.

"This...you're fighting with my old lady, right?! 'MIBO-X', attack with all members!" Seeing that the ice was melting so slowly, Mel felt embarrassed and at the same time became angry, and directly let the four 'MIBO-X' -X' all up, and the other three want to open their mouths and shoot flames.

Finally, under the scorching of the quadruple flames, the condensed ice crystals began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a small puddle on the ground.

"Fine, go ahead and hope that kid doesn't mess up."

……

In the laboratory, Hemo slowly walked out from behind an instrument, felt the cold air, wrapped his clothes tightly, and said, "That child, what kind of monster is it?"

I saw that the entire laboratory was covered by ice crystals, and the burning equipment turned into ice bumps. Similarly, the computer communicating with the high-level was completely scrapped.

"White-faced owl, white-faced owl, are you okay?"

Seeing that his friend was not there, Hemer cried in a low voice anxiously.

"Don't worry, I deliberately avoided the area where you are."

"It's you!"

Hemo heard someone talking, turned his head, and saw Phoenix with ice crystals condensed on his body. At this time, he was sitting on a large ice block. The ice blue lines on Fenrir were still there, but Fenlier Er's phantom has disappeared.

Hemer said angrily, "Do you know what you did?! You ruined Ifrit's only chance to completely cure the ore disease!"

"Oh? You really think so?" Phoenix wiped the large ice cube under his body with his right hand, and a transparent area was wiped out, and he saw that it was the cultivation tank containing Ifrit, although the outside was full of ice crystals , but the liquid inside did not change at all, because Phoenix deliberately controlled the temperature.

Ifrit was still inside, but she was unconscious, and a large source stone appeared on her body.

"This..." Seeing Ifrit's appearance, Hemo's heart twitched, and his tone weakened, but he still said stubbornly, "That...that's a normal phenomenon."

"Oh, it's normal, you won't believe it in your heart, right? In the end, you're just deluding yourself for that unreal sense of belonging." Phoenix said with a cold tone, ruthlessly tearing through Hemer's disguise.

"I..." Hemer's face turned pale, and he was speechless. That's right, Phoenix was right. Hemer is also the person in charge of the Origin Stone project. Her sense of belonging to Rhine's life, coupled with her desire to treat all infected people, made her subconsciously ignore the unreasonable places.

Now, seeing Ifrit's appearance, Hemer regretted it. Like Serena, she also loves Ifrit very much. She imagined that Ifrit was curing the ore disease and smiling, not now In this way, unconscious in the culture tank.

"You're right, it's my fault." Hemer knelt down powerlessly, clutching his clothes tightly with both hands, "I shouldn't blindly trust the decision of the higher-ups, but, I really want to cure her, I I don't want her to show that kind of despair."

Having said that, Hemer sobbed softly. She really cared about Ifrit.

Phoenix sighed, and said: "Don't be sad, her vital signs are still there, just because of the excessive activation of the Originium skill just now and she is unconscious, the energy in her body is not stable yet, let her stay here first let's go."

In Phoenix's perception, there is still a very violent force in Ifrit's body that is about to move, but due to the low temperature of Phoenix's ice, he can only maintain a latent state.

Phoenix jumped off the culture tank, walked up to Hemer, stretched out his hand and said, "Get to know me, my name is Phoenix."

"You, the registered operator Catherine said?" Hemer wiped away tears, stood up holding Phoenix's hand, "She sent me an email, saying that you are coming to fix Fenli, but you give me Not a good first impression."

"Eh haha." Phoenix was very embarrassed. It was also to save people at the time, how could there be so much time to explain, not to mention that people might not believe it, and it would be better than BB if they could do it.

"Forget it, for the sake of saving Ifrit, I'm the head of the research department of Originium Project, Hemer." Hemer stretched out his left hand to shake Phoenix, but suddenly found that his left hand Several grain-sized Origin Stones grew on the wrist.

Phoenix also saw it and said, "You are still infected after all."

"What? You know I wasn't infected before?"

'Forehead!White teeth!Just said it out! Phoenix's heart tightened, but he still said without changing his face: "As a scientist who studies Originium, you must have protective measures, right?"

Although the reason is a bit far-fetched, but based on the courage that Phoenix showed just now, Hemer chose to believe him, "Speaking of which, what about White-faced Owl and Serena?"

"The shield girl's words are frozen there, as for the other one, I don't know."

Hemer looked in the direction Phoenix pointed, and then...

"Pfft, hehe..." "Uh... don't laugh!"
