Accompanied by Shen Chi, Niyu survived the most difficult and critical 72 hours after the parasitic surgery, and became the lucky 70%.

On the third day, he woke up in a human form, which meant that he had become a parasite, and the parasitic lines faintly appeared on his smooth back.

The body seemed to be thrown into a furnace and reforged.The pain was like an aftershock, it was no longer severe, but it still lingered in the bones and lungs.

He stood up, looked at his completely new body in the mirror, and suddenly felt a wonderful sense of strangeness.

The face is still his own, and the muscles seem to be the same as before, but the old scars have disappeared, and they are permanently left in his old skin that was tortured by the virus.

He recalled it vigorously, and found that the memory was still his own. The scenes he experienced in the underground shelter when he was a child were as clear as yesterday—he had no parents, or only a father and no mother. He was conceived by an artificial womb. Since he was born, Like countless children born in artificial wombs, he was raised as a warrior.

He tried to find traces of the cheetah in his mind.Before the operation, he naively thought that he might be able to inherit part of the cheetah's memory.

I can't tell why I have this idea, maybe it's just to spy on Shen Chi's private appearance.

But now, he regrettably found that the memory of the cheetah had not been transferred to him because of the gene fusion.

The doctor came, and after checking the parasitic lines, he was ecstatic, "You are the one with the earliest parasitic lines among all my patients!"

Ni Yu was wearing the beige white gown exclusive to the patient, her cold white hands and feet were exposed.He always felt that this kind of clothing was like a shroud.

"The earlier the parasitic pattern appears, the more successful the gene fusion." He asked, "Doctor, does this mean that I can return to the team as soon as possible?"

The doctor's expression became serious, "Have you noticed the abnormality in your voice?"

Ni Yu nodded.

When he spoke just now, he noticed that his throat was very uncomfortable, and his voice was not his original voice, it seemed much rougher.

The doctor said: "The throat is uncomfortable because you haven't adapted to the human form yet."

Ni Yu's eyelids twitched.

He has lived in a human body for 22 years, but now he is said to have "not adapted to human form".

The doctor explained: "During the postoperative recovery period, you cannot maintain human form for a long time, and you cannot change freely between human form and animal form. You have to live in animal form most of the day to survive the stress Abnormal reaction."

Even if the doctor didn't tell him, Ni Yu had noticed that when he maintained his human form, he would feel tired within a short time, and once he changed into a beast form, this feeling would disappear.

"How long will it take before I can live a normal life?"

"In your case, it is optimistically estimated that it will take three months." The doctor laughed, "After three more days of observation, you will be discharged from the hospital."

discharge...

Only then did Ni Yu realize a serious problem.

Before the operation, he lived in Shen Chi's house, and before he was infected, he lived in the "Blazing Eagle" dormitory.

In the 003 base, he didn't have a place all to himself.

Where should he go after leaving the hospital?

It is unrealistic to return to "Blazing Eagle" immediately. Even if he has become a parasite, he still has self-respect, and he absolutely does not want to be turned into a leopard when his teammates see him tired.But will Shen Chi still take him in?

He knew that Shen Chi was with him after the operation.At that time, he couldn't see or hear clearly, but the feeling of being touched by Shen Chi was so vivid.

Not sure whether it was affected by Cheetah's original emotions, or because of the comfort Shen Chi gave him when he was new, he found that when he thought of Shen Chi, he had a strange emotion.

He didn't know how to describe this emotion, it was soft but sharp, like a gravitational force, making him desperately want to get close to Shen Chi.

"That's right." The doctor said: "If you don't want to live in Major General Shen Chi's house, I can also arrange a special dormitory for you, many..."

Ni Yu hurriedly interrupted: "I'm going to the major general's house after I'm discharged from the hospital?"

"You don't know?" The doctor said, "Major General Shen Chi told you that once you don't need to stay in the hospital, he will send you to his home."

Ni Yu felt her heart beating faster, "I, I forgot."

The doctor smiled and said, "You need to rest, and the animal state will help you recover."

Three days later, Ni Yu stood in Shen Chi's house again.

The difference from the last time is that this time Shen Chi did not go to the isolation center to pick him up in person, and there was no cheetah happily running over to greet them.

He is a leopard.

Instead, you can welcome yourself.

Ni Yu is not surprised that Shen Chi is not at home. Shen Chi has an important position and has no reason to accompany a parasite like herself.

But he longed to see Shen Chi.

Before the operation, human reason told him not to go up to the second floor casually, and he only went up once to find Shen Chi.But now, the primordial instinct of a beast is in the parasite's genes. He went up in a daze, and when he reached the door of Shen Chi, he suddenly found it difficult to maintain his human form, and lay down on the spot in a beastly state.

This time, I fell asleep.

The second floor is covered with thick carpets, which is a good place for leopards to take a nap.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

The familiar voice floated into the blank dream with great texture, Ni Yu woke up, raised her head in a daze, and saw Shen Chi in black military uniform.

"Sir." He tried to stand up, but his human will failed to control his body. He was embarrassed to find that his front legs were stretched forward, his hind legs and buttocks were raised high, and he made a stretching motion.

This was so embarrassing, he couldn't dare to look at Shen Chi's expression at this time.

He still remembered that every time he made a fool of himself, Shen Chi would curl the corners of his lips, as if being pleased.

He thought many times that when he recovered completely and returned to "Blazing Eagle", he must tell his brothers that his boss had a bad heart and took pleasure in other people's embarrassment.

But after thinking about it again, he had to give up the idea.Because if the brothers asked the major general what kind of embarrassment he took pleasure in, he couldn't be stupid enough to confess himself.

"You are leisurely." Shen Chi was really pleased by this exaggerated laziness, and his tone was slightly different from before, "But can you please move a step away? You are blocking my door."

After stretching, Ni Yu felt comfortable all over, and immediately stepped aside, watching Shen Chi open the door.

Shen Chi said, "Are you going to stay here forever?"

Ni Yu was stunned for two seconds, then turned and ran downstairs.

After more than ten hours of dormancy in the animal state, he has been able to change back to human form, but he is not used to this change, let alone changing back and forth in front of Shen Chi.

Half an hour later, Ni Yu was fully dressed and reappeared in front of Shen Chi.

"Sir." His voice is no longer as hoarse as it was when the parasitic lines first grew out, and it has approached his original timbre.

"Huh?" Shen Chi took off his military uniform, now wearing a dark gray robe.

He was leaning against the window, reading a black hard-bound book.

Such things as books are rare in this day and age.

Ni Yu said seriously: "Can I ask you a question?"

Shen Chi held the book with one hand, and his gaze stayed on Ni Yu's face for half a minute, "What's the problem?"

Ni Yu felt nervous—although the tension was groundless and inexplicable.

He swallowed, and said: "I am very grateful that you gave me a stable place to recover. Compared with the dormitory of 'Blazing Eagle', this place is more suitable for me to spend my recovery period. However, I want to know why you want to Take me in?"

The word "Yong" was chosen after many deliberations.

His vocabulary is not large, and he is a rough person. It is not easy to find such a low-profile word that will not offend the other party.

Even so, he still felt that he could not express his thoughts properly.

After a while, he saw Shen Chi walking towards him, still holding the black hard-bound book in his hand.

The cheetah's sense of smell is quite keen, and he can smell the breath spreading in the air.

It was Shen Chi's breath, and it was this breath that comforted him after the operation.

During the trance, Shen Chi had already walked in front of him.

The chin was lifted by a cold and hard object, which was the black hard-bound book.

He was forced to raise his head slightly, and his Adam's apple twitched involuntarily.

Shen Chi said: "Who promised to stay with me?"
