Chapter 413: The Implant Surgery
Chen Chuan had no objections to this. To be honest, without a suitable faction backing Lu Tong Logistics, once he left, the gains they had made would eventually be lost.
Perhaps the other party wouldn't go to extremes due to his force of deterrence, but that was as far as it went.
They themselves should be well aware of this.
Under such circumstances, suddenly encountering Fusion Boundary and receiving their support, it was no surprise that both parties quickly reached an agreement.
Compared to other companies, Fusion Boundary was currently in its early stages of market exploration, and their actions weren't as unseemly.
Of course, he also understood that market expansion was just one aspect; the company's upper management likely wanted to use market feedback to accelerate the development of combat implants, preparing for the upcoming new era.
This was something every company was doing; those who couldn't keep up would gradually be eliminated, like the Molan Corporation.
Chen Chuan said, "If this is what both of you want, I have no reason to object. But as the chief security consultant of the company, I must remind you that once you enter the Lower City, it's not just business competition; you may also face competition in terms of force."
Tang Zhang's expression turned serious. "We understand, and we are prepared for that."
"Then you can handle it yourselves," said Chen Chuan.
He would report this matter truthfully to the Handling Bureau. He believed that the reason the other party informed him was not only because of his connections with the people here but also to indirectly inform the Handling Bureau.
Tang Zhang said, "Thank you for your understanding, Chen Consultant. I need to inform the company about this matter promptly. Please excuse me for a while."
After Chen Chuan finished speaking with Tang Zhang, he headed back. The parking area at the camp was well-planned; the second-degree invasion was very weak, but it still existed, likely due to a special type of pollution.
He wasn't sure if this was related to the government's previous abandonment of this area, but for those living here long-term, if they weren't fighters, the demand for implants would be high.
As he approached the temporary caravan provided by Lu Tong Logistics, he saw Lan Shenan walking towards him with a bright expression. When she reached him, she said, "I've discussed with my teacher, and the surgery is scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Chen Xiaoge, thank you."
"Captain Lan, there's no need for thanks. Seeing Teacher Yu return to normal activities is also what I want," Chen Chuan replied.
Lan Shenan said, "I want to promote cooperation between our team and Fusion Boundary. I hope this won't cause you any trouble, Chen Xiaoge."
"It's not a problem. As a team leader, finding a powerful faction to rely on is a rational choice, and there's nothing to criticize," said Chen Chuan. "However, Captain Lan, no matter where you are or who you cooperate with, force is everything. I've heard from Teacher Yu that you are a talented person. If you can live up to your talents, I believe you can lead the team forward."
Lan Shenan's determined and hopeful smile appeared on her spirited face as she listened to his words. "Thank you for your reminder, Chen Xiaoge. I will."
Venom Ant Express withdrew very quickly, leaving the territory they had previously occupied within just one day. Some of the Lu Tong Logistics members who had heard about this situation returned to the team.
There must have been external forces and people sent by Venom Ant Express, but the team currently lacked manpower and couldn't afford to be picky. They decided to accept them first and observe them.
After Fusion Boundary confirmed their cooperation with Lu Tong Logistics, a small security team, including a Resonator team, immediately entered the Lower City. Together with Lu Tong Logistics' team, they directly established communication with the ground using strong signals.
At the camp, with the cooperation of the company's medical team, they spent two days preparing for the surgery. On the third day, they officially began the implant surgery on Yu Gang.
The surgery lasted for a day. The next day, as the medical pod's door opened, a tall figure emerged.
Lu Ke had been anxiously waiting outside, and when he saw Yu Gang walk out on his own, with his new arm, he rushed forward, his eyes welling up with emotion. "Master, are you okay?"
He reached out and touched Yu Gang's new arm, feeling the solid and powerful sensation.
"Yes, I'm fine," Yu Gang replied, moving his arm. Although it wasn't his original limb, there was no stiffness in his movements, and he seemed to have a strength he hadn't felt before—a novel sensation.
The implant maintenance doctor approached and reminded Yu Gang, "Mr. Yu, your implanted limb can now handle normal activities, but the synthetic mutated tissue needs a period of adaptive training to gradually match your muscles.
We will conduct a systematic check for you.
During this period, you'll need to regularly inject nutritional supplements and take joint and nerve restoration and maintenance medications. Initially, you should take the prescribed amount of anti-mutation medication daily. It will take approximately three to five weeks to fully adapt.
Our implants also have functional capabilities. If your heart and lungs have undergone certain modifications, they can unleash even greater strength. Even if damaged, they can be quickly repaired through the cultivation bed."
Seeing that everyone was listening intently, the doctor continued, "Of course, the most important part is the synthetic mutated tissue. The synthetic tissue won't overgrow, and with the help of equipment, it can undergo orderly proliferation when you need to adapt to your growing strength."
"Yu Gang moved his arm again, his muscles bulging naturally. From the outside, aside from a slight difference in skin tone, there were no visible abnormalities. His finger joints moved naturally as well. He asked, 'When can I start training again?'"
The maintenance doctor replied, 'Mr. Yu, your body is very strong, and the implant compatibility is relatively high. This surgery was a success, so you can start training from tomorrow. We suggest you begin with lower-intensity combat exercises and gradually increase the intensity daily.'
'We will monitor your body's changes throughout the process, but please allow us to collect some data to facilitate our future research.'
'Sure,' Yu Gang agreed.
At this moment, Lan Shenan approached, looking slightly apologetic. 'Master, I'm sorry.'
This time, she had Yu Gang fitted with all the implants, including replacing the leg that had been barely holding up. To help Yu Gang accept the change, she hadn't mentioned it at first, so he initially thought it was just a simple implant replacement.
Yu Gang sighed, 'It seems my persistence has caused you trouble.'
'Master...'
'Xiao Nan, listen to me,' Yu Gang said, placing his hand on Lan Shenan's shoulder and patting it gently. 'Master doesn't blame you. I just don't want to see you burdened by this. That wasn't my intention. Starting tomorrow, come and train with me. Let's see if your combat skills have deteriorated.'
Lan Shenan felt the broad and powerful hand on her shoulder and nodded heavily.
Yu Gang looked outside and asked, 'Was it Chen Chuan who helped this time?'
'Both the channels and the implants were arranged by Chen Xiaoge,' Lan Shenan replied.
'Where is he now?'
In the 1619 book bar, there is a mistake-free version!
'Chen Xiaoge was here just now, but he had some business in the Upper District. I heard the implant surgery was successful, so he left early. He asked me to give you his regards.'
At this moment, Chen Chuan was riding in Tang Zhang's private car on their way back. Tang Zhang said, 'Consultant Chen, I asked the medical team. The damage wasn't too severe, and your body is in good shape. After some rest, you'll recover to about 60-70% of your former strength. We will gradually improve the technology...'
As the car approached the tunnel entrance, Tang Zhang glanced at the rearview mirror and said, 'Consultant Chen, look...'
Chen Chuan turned to look back. In the rear, a group of vehicles gathered in one place suddenly lit up, creating an especially intense display in the underground district. It exuded a vibrant vitality that couldn't be felt elsewhere.
'They're seeing you off,' Tang Zhang explained.
Chen Chuan nodded. He turned his gaze back to the front, and the vehicle soon entered a long tunnel. However, instead of heading back directly, it turned towards another direction. After about ten minutes, Tang Zhang stopped the car and said, 'He's here.'
Chen Chuan stepped out of the car and walked forward alone. In the distance, Lao Bian sat alone on a fallen cement block. Seeing Chen Chuan, he slowly stood up.
'Lao Bian?' Chen Chuan asked.
Lao Bian stared at him, his entire body tense. Even though he had seen Chen Chuan's skills through the Boundary Token, seeing Chen Chuan in person approaching him made him feel nervous.
Maintaining a calm expression, Lao Bian said, 'It's me, young man. Speak, what brings you to seek this old man?'
When Chen Chuan had asked to meet him, Lao Bian had actually been reluctant. He didn't know what Chen Chuan wanted, and if he was plotting something behind his back, he might be in danger.
But circumstances were stronger than willpower. If he truly refused, not only would he lose face, but if the other party was determined to target him, they might not have trouble finding him. There would be plenty of people eager to take advantage of his fall.
Chen Chuan noticed Lao Bian's tension and smiled. 'It's nothing. I just came to discuss something with you. Since I can't stay in the Lower City District for long, Lu Tong Logistics needs a capable person to take care of things. I remember you had a good relationship with Lu Tong Logistics before, so I thought you'd be the right person. I'd like you to look after them in my stead.'
Lao Bian's heart burned with anger. This guy had kicked him before, and now he wanted him to return and work for free? Was this a threat?
'I consider the people of Lu Tong Logistics as my juniors,' Lao Bian said sternly. 'If they need help, I won't stand idly by.'
'I trust you, Lao Bian,' Chen Chuan nodded. He gestured to the distance, and immediately, a company security guard brought over a box and placed it in front of Lao Bian.
Lao Bian's gaze fixed on the box. 'This is...'
'Tier Three cultivation medication,' Chen Chuan smiled. Although it wasn't special medication, Lao Bian clearly didn't need it. 'Then let's consider it settled, Lao Bian. Farewell.' After speaking, Chen Chuan waved and turned to leave.
After Chen Chuan left, Lao Bian heard the sound of the vehicle departing in the distance. He stared at the box on the ground, sighed, bent down, picked it up, and slapped it. Feeling the weight of the box, he couldn't help but curse, 'Damn it, he's taking advantage of this old man.'
He strode towards the other end of the tunnel, muttering as he walked, 'Looks like this old man has to keep working for a few more years.'
