310: Chapter 90 Green Forest Will 310: Chapter 90 Green Forest Will Yuan Wenren tensely stared at the Borshu in front of him, holding a gun, silent.
Now, only the two of them were outside the vehicle.
Wrapped around the Borshu was a nanocord.
This cord integrated several types of nanocarbon fibers with different crystalline structures, with terrifyingly powerful properties.
It was said to be made of materials similar to those used in the space elevator.
Yuan Wenren had obtained it by chance from the governnt.
He had even considered using the thing as a secondary weapon at that ti.
Yuki had been cluelessly taken to the operating room by Xiang Shan a few hours ago, while the little one was placed on another vehicle, which was stationed a few hundred ters away, ensuring Borshu couldn’t suddenly lash out and harm anyone.
Just a few hours before, Borshu and Xiang Shan had co here together.
At that ti, Borshu was holding the girl, while Xiang Shan pointed a gun at Borshu’s head.
After they arrived, Xiang Shan had Yuan Wenren find the toughest rope to bind the Green Forest man.
Initially, Yuan Wenren thought this Green Forest man was a captive of Xiang Shan, which was surprising.
In the eyes of the Hero, Green Forest individuals were beyond saving, and capturing them seed pointless.
Even if information was needed, one could simply take the mory storage device.
Perhaps the senior wanted the man’s entire prosthetic body?
But in this case, wouldn’t the Green Forest man choose to self-destruct?
Then, she heard Xiang Shan say that this guy actually ca to surrender himself for the sake of the girl.
Yuan Wenren was shocked.
She felt that the scene before her didn’t quite align with her understanding of the Green Forest.
Xiang Shan didn’t explain further, after topping up so lubricant and coolant, he carried Yuki into the operating room.
Leaving Yuan Wenren alone to keep watch.
Yuan Wenren felt a bit nervous.
From their previous encounters, Yuan Wenren and Borshu knew each other’s capabilities.
Yuan Wenren was aware that in close quarters, Borshu could disable her ability to counterattack in three moves.
However, Borshu was now bound tightly.
The ropes were positioned just right to impede Borshu’s exertion.
Theoretically, before Borshu could break free, Yuan Wenren could shoot three tis and blow his head off.
But Yuan Wenren was still nervous.
All Firearm Warriors felt to so extent that hand-to-hand combat had too low a margin for error, unsuitable for the style of “if the first shot misses, flee a thousand miles.”
But Borshu just closed his eyes, and who knows what he was thinking.
Several more hours passed before Xiang Shan walked out of the vehicle with a weary-looking Yuki.
The girl stayed inside.
Xiang Shan told Yuki to rest in another vehicle, then went over to Borshu.
Only then did Borshu look at Xiang Shan, “How is it?”
“The situation is stable for now,” Xiang Shan crossed his arms over his chest, “I had my disciple give her so blood, gave half of his current prosthetic lungs to her, and then she was fine.”
This was largely thanks to the inventor of the Benchmark Man gene modification surgery, Yawgmoth.
He standardized human blood types.
Before that, humans had thirty-six blood type systems and 346 types of red blood cell antigens.
Just the ABO blood type system alone divided into four blood types: A, B, AB, and O.
In addition, there was the Rh blood type system, which further categorized humans into Rh negative and Rh positive.
When tallied up, the number of blood types was virtually countless.
It’s just that blood type systems like MN, Diego, Kidd, and Kell didn’t trigger strong immune reactions, unlikely to result in fatal outcos like “hemolysis,” so they were usually ignored, focusing mainly on the ABO and Rh systems.
So special red blood cell antigens could even cause harm to oneself.
For instance, if the blood types of a fetus’s parents were too incompatible, it could lead to fetal blood antigens invading the mother’s body, activating antibodies.
If these antibodies filtered through the placenta into the fetus, they would turn and attack the child’s red blood cells, causing newborn hemolytic disease or even miscarriage.
However, these blood type antigens were also expressed in so non-specific immunity responses.
For example, non-O type blood individuals seed to be more prone to severe malaria than O types, and so on.
Different blood types of people had varying adaptability to different conditions.
If there was a virulent contagious disease that “only O-type blood could survive,” then O-type Homo sapiens would be more adapted to this world, holding a greater advantage.
Species diversity is the foundation that ensures a species is more competitive in most situations.
However, with human dical technology already relatively advanced, and the dical procedure of “blood transfusion” becoming increasingly mature, the design of the “blood type system” beca sowhat superfluous.
So Yawgmoth broke the convention and altered the blood type system.
The blood type of Benchmark Man was unified.
Unless the ancestral DNA of two individuals was too incompatible, Benchmark Man would not experience hemolysis.
After Xiang Shan repaired the girl’s major external and internal bleeding points, he replaced her lungs.
The alveoli in her lungs were largely ruptured beyond repair.
Half of a “Dragon Breath” was not inferior to her native lungs, so that was sufficient.
anwhile, Xiang Shan had preemptively increased Yuki’s cyberization rate, mainly by cyberizing or removing so organs.
In this manner, Yuki’s need for oxygen would further decrease.
After completing these, Xiang Shan then transfused the blood drawn from Yuki into the girl’s veins.
This was about as extre as it got.
What remained was the hope that the girl could withstand the damage from hypoxia.
Otherwise, Xiang Shan would have to resort to using the Restoring Enzy on her brain.
But Xiang Shan was not very inclined to do that.
On one hand, the Restoring Enzy was rather precious.
On the other hand, doing this would cause the girl to lose a lot of mories, which seed unbearably cruel since it appeared she had never made a mory backup.
Upon hearing this, Borshu seed to breathe a sigh of relief.
He didn’t make any more moves, just sitting there on the ground as if waiting for death.
Xiang Shan said, “Don’t celebrate too soon.
The fracture on her ribs, I just nailed them together with a fixator, and that’s only ergency treatnt…
She may not wake up anyti soon.
The physical injuries are too severe.
The best option to save her would be cyberization.”
“I can provide so Virtual Coin, which should be enough for the basic cybernetic transformation,” Borshu said, his tone seemingly upbeat.
“Rushed nailing” sounds cruel for Homo sapiens, but Benchmark Man has a certain advantage in cybernetic transformation precisely because of their ability to “adapt to foreign objects in the tissue” and their resistance to chanical damage.
So, it’s not a big problem.
As long as the girl could make it to the next city, make it through the cybernetic transformation, that would be enough.
Xiang Shan nodded, “It looks like you have no more regrets about her situation.
Now, let’s talk about you.”
Xiang Shan sat opposite Borshu, “Striped Warrior Borshu…
was that your na before?”
“Striped Warrior…
So, this person is?” Yuan Wenren exclaid in surprise.
And felt sowhat saddened.
When she was looking for information about Borshu, she had suspected that this mber of Green Forest was the “Striped Warrior” turned bandit.
In the records, the Striped Warrior was a…
“good neighbor” type hero who preferred using non-lethal weapons to stop civil conflicts.
It was truly…
for such a person to beco an outlaw.
“It’s a na I no longer use.
If you let live until the next Green Forest Tiger List update, then I’ll be known as Sky Speed Star Borshu,” he said.
“According to the records, you recently joined Green Forest?
And this was your first mission?”
“Yeah,” Borshu nodded.
“How many people have you killed?”
Borshu pondered for a mont and then said, “I don’t rember.”
Xiang Shan nodded, “Understandable.
What about in Mingge City?
You killed two families…”
“I don’t rember who exactly.
Once I started killing, anyone I saw was killed.
I couldn’t control it.
I didn’t count…
or maybe I did but didn’t really care?” Borshu’s voice was void of sorrow and joy, “Should be seven people, right?”
Xiang Shan nodded, “And your thods…
never mind.
That’s not important anymore.
You’ve co all the way from the Old Continent, passing through many cities.
Have you done this sort of thing several tis?”
Borshu nodded, “Correct.
Even though I tried to control myself, only killing those who did evil, once I started…
Green Forest mbers wouldn’t control themselves.
Were there bystanders?
I don’t know.
Were there people who didn’t deserve to die?
I don’t know that either.”
Xiang Shan nodded, “You’re very candid…”
With that, he placed his palm on Borshu’s head.
At this distance, the ultrasonic waves generated by Xiang Shan’s palm could penetrate Borshu’s skull, destroying his brain on a cellular level.
Suddenly, Yuan Wenren cried out, “Senior!”
“Shut up!” Xiang Shan roared, “I know what you want to say!
But this is a mber of Green Forest!
We have no surety!
No confidence!”
“But, he feels remorse!”
“So what if he feels remorse?”
“Yeah, so what if he feels remorse?” Borshu said, “So people might commit suicide on an impulse.
But if they fail to kill themselves, once the anger inside fades, attempting suicide a second ti becos much harder.
Of course, there are those truly determined to die, capable of attempting it over and over.
But the will of Green Forest would stop all that.”
Or in other words, the Ultimate Way Consensus Therapy itself instilled content that contained “anti-suicide” emotions.
This was technology intended to treat “psychological illnesses.”
“You…” Xiang Shan looked at Borshu.
“Do you know what I’m thinking right now?” Borshu, head lowered, said, “Right now, the will of Green Forest is telling , ‘Appear more sincere,’ ‘Repent more earnestly,’ ‘Only by eliciting the sympathy of these two heroes will your chances of survival be higher,’ ‘Live at any cost.'”
He paused, then added, “‘And when they lower their guard, kill them.'”
