: Both Ends of the Balance 53

The scanner scanned Hei Yao’s whole body, and when the light beam scanned his chest, it sounded a sharp alarm. In the three-dimensional image, Hei Yao’s heart was marked in red.

This heart is silent at this moment, once it resumes beating, Obsidian will lose his life.

Amber rushed over, nervously checking Obsidian’s situation.

After the heart stops beating, the brain will not stop immediately. Obsidian’s spirit is still active. His body is stiff and twitching, his face is pale, and his pupils are gradually dilated, but he still maintains spiritual communication with Kai Xin and Hu Po.

“Connecting to the external blood circulation system can maintain my life.” Obsidian’s mood is quite calm, almost as rational as ice, “The roadsides and public places in big cities are generally equipped with first aid devices, such as defibrillators, blood External circulation device, portable oxygen mask…”

“Replacing the heart takes time, first use the external blood circulation device as an emergency.” Amber looked anxiously at Kai Xin, and then said to Adam, “Mirror, nearby…”

“The coordinates have been marked, and the nearest first aid device is 1.2 kilometers away.” Adam said, “It’s a private fitness club. It’s closed and there’s no one there.”

“Let’s go.” Kai Xin expanded the space vortex again, and stepped in with Hei Yao in his arms, followed by Hu Po.

They arrived at the target location.

The glass door of the fitness club was closed tightly, and Kai Xin had no time to block the monitoring and alarm system of this street slowly. She didn’t stop for a second, and kicked the metal-studded tactical boots on the glass.

The glass shattered with a bang, the alarm system was triggered immediately, and the siren blared.

The first aid equipment was mounted on the wall. Kui Xin tore off the insurance, took out the external blood circulation device and connected it to Hei Yao. The special needle pierced deeply into his chest cavity and connected to the veins and arteries. Soon, the red liquid was flowing in the transparent hose, and the device was activated.

This device is equivalent to an external heart, replacing the heart’s blood pumping function.

Kai Xin reported to the university before, and the first floor of her university dormitory was equipped with first aid equipment, but this kind of first aid equipment has not been popularized everywhere. Fortunately, such facilities are more common in the big cities of the second world, otherwise Kai Xin’s first aid was not timely, and Obsidian was either killed by an explosion or died of cardiac arrest and lack of oxygen.

After being connected to the external blood circulation system, Hei Yao suddenly took a deep breath as if he had been choked, his lungs expanded, his chest rose and fell, his throat made a horrible inhalation sound, and his stiff body suddenly collapsed.

He retched reflexively, and his pale face and purple lips slowly returned to normal color.

Amber quickly buckled a portable oxygen mask on Obsidian’s face to help him regain his spontaneous breathing.

“Let’s go, it’s time to see a doctor.” Kui Xin helped Hei Yao up again.

Hei Yao looked at Kai Xin, kept calm and suppressed his emotions, and suggested weakly: “Can you not…hug me like that…”

“Did it touch your wound?” Kai Xin lowered his head in doubt, and the words he expressed were transmitted in the spiritual network, “Let me pay attention.”

Amber understood what Hei Yao meant, and he explained strangely: “Kai Xin has just obtained material reorganization, and his proficiency in this ability is not that high, and he can’t do precise control over space for the time being, so he can only get closer to you. ”

Hei Yao paused, and immediately changed the subject calmly: “There must also be a locator in my mechanical heart.”

“Its power supply has completely stopped, and the locator will also lose its function. Now we just need to find a suitable heart for you to replace it.” Kai Xin said, “There are still two healing potions left, enough for you .”

They are going to leave the Federal Administrative Center through the space vortex. It is obviously not a wise choice to stay here for a long time for surgery.

The map in the eyepiece was refreshed, and Kai Xin selected Qingjing City, which is more than 100 kilometers away from the federal administrative center. This is a relatively large city with good medical conditions in the hospital.

Due to time constraints, Kai Xin had no time to learn about the city’s black market industry and find a suitable underground clinic to perform surgery on Hei Yao. She directly set her sights on a large private hospital with a good reputation.

There are very few people in the hospital at night, and there are doctors and nurses on duty in the emergency room and treatment desk.

With the external blood circulation system, Obsidian’s situation is not so urgent. Kai Xin and Amber came near the hospital, and together with Adam, she hacked the hospital’s surveillance system and walked in from the main entrance of the hospital openly.

The nurse at the front desk saw the person coming, and showed the same reaction as the nurse in the previous hospital.

“Please leave! Otherwise, I will call the police!” While speaking, she had already touched the alarm button, and her voice attracted the security guard on duty on the first floor.

The security guards took out the electric shock batons one after another, and put their hands on the guns on their lower backs.

Red fluorescence glowed in the depths of Kai Xin’s pupils, and Amber beside her raised her eyes slightly, the bluish light in her pupils flashed away, Obsidian leaning on Kai Xin’s arm slightly turned her head, and in the dark eyes There is also a bright blue halo flickering.

Immediately, all the security guards and nurses in the hall on the first floor froze, maintaining their original postures like sculptures.

Kai Xin glanced at the guiding light screen on the treatment table, and said, “Bionic heart transplant surgery.”

“Hey, the cardiac surgeon currently on duty in the hospital is Dr. Wang, do you want to make an appointment?” the intelligent triage system said, “The appointment fee is 1,000 federal currency, please scan and pay.”

The reservation fee is 1,000? After bookingIn the end, you still need to pay for diagnosis, medical expenses, and surgery fees. How can poor people afford to see a doctor.

For operations such as heart transplantation, even though the bionic heart implant technology is quite mature, the cost of the operation remains high without any reduction.

Kai Xin ignored the triage prompt and opened a space vortex and went straight to Dr. Wang’s office.

The doctor was drinking coffee to refresh himself. She was startled when she saw the space vortex, and all the coffee was spilled on the table.

Kai Xin managed to control Dr. Wang in a single meeting, and gave her an order: “Conduct a physical examination for him, take out a suitable heart from the Xinyuan warehouse, and give him a heart replacement operation.”

The doctor obeyed her orders under the influence of mental instructions.

Kai Xin put Hei Yao on the push-pull bed of the tester, watched all kinds of light sweep over his body, read his body data, and a suitable heart model was quickly matched.

Next, the empty operating room was automatically disinfected, the surgical instruments were in place, the bionic heart warming was activated, and the doctors made preoperative preparations.

The doctors and nurses pushed Hei Yao into the operating room, and Kai Xin also changed into a sterile suit and entered the operating room. She had to stay by Hei Yao’s side to ensure that the mechanical heart would not explode.

Amber was too worried about Hei Yao’s situation, and followed her into the operating room.

The anesthetic was pushed into Hei Yao’s body, his eyelids began to fight involuntarily, he gradually lost consciousness, and his consciousness was disconnected from the mental network.

In fact, he can keep his mind awake while his body is anesthetized, but he really needs to rest. His mind is severely exhausted in the brain computer, and he urgently needs a deep sleep to recuperate. After being rescued and seeing Hu Po, his tense spirit instantly relaxed, and he fell into a deep sleep state under the effect of anesthetic.

The operation officially began.

Kai Xin stared at Hei Yao’s sleeping face, then turned to look at Amber beside him.

“The similarity is not 100%, there are still some differences.” She said, “But the differences are subtle.”

“The embryo is affected by many factors during the development process, and living habits will also affect the face.” Amber crossed her arms, “For example, people who are used to chewing food with only one side of their teeth will have obviously larger cheeks and different face shapes.” symmetry……”

Kai Xin: “Is the example you gave yourselves the same? I didn’t notice that your faces are asymmetrical.”

Amber was at a loss for words, “That’s because I’ve been corrected, I’ve been chewing with my right tooth before, and the doctor reminded me to find out…”

“No wonder your jawline is different from Obsidian’s. It turned out to be caused by the masseter muscle.” Kai Xin was thoughtful.

Amber touched her cheek subconsciously, and she didn’t feel conflicted by the adjective “different”.

Even with the same gene, Amber and Obsidian are two different individuals with independent personalities, and their personalities are also different. No two individuals are exactly the same, even identical twins.

Rather… Amber is very happy that others can distinguish him from Obsidian, instead of crudely viewing them as a whole with synchronous thinking.

“Now you have rescued your brother as you wished.” Kai Xin said, “What is your next plan? What do you want to do in the future?”

Hu Po didn’t respond to Kai Xin’s question for a while.

He fell into a daze, as if he had come to a blank field.

For the first time, he is qualified to think about the “future”, the real future!

The smell of blood permeated the operating room, and the doctor’s white medical gloves were stained. Amidst the slight collision of the scalpel and medical instruments, the doctor took out a heart with his hands—a mechanical heart!

The structure of the silver-gray metal heart is extremely fine, and the heart is still stained with blood. It was placed in a tray.

Kai Xin picked up the mechanical heart and squeezed it in her hand to play with it. When she exerted force with her fingers, the mechanical heart was pressed down like a real heart. It is “elastic”! This is inconsistent with the hard nature of metal itself, and it is modern technology that gives metal “life”.

“The shackles no longer exist. Just like this heart that has been taken out, you will no longer be manipulated or threatened.”

A fist-sized spatial vortex appeared, and Kai Xin casually threw the mechanical heart into the vortex like throwing garbage, and sent it to the wilderness hundreds of kilometers away to dispose of it.

“I asked this question before, what do you plan to do after you rescue your brother.” Kui Xin continued, “Your answer at the time was that this is too far away, and you haven’t considered it. Now I think you can think about it. ”

Amber lowered her eyes in thought.

He understood what Kai Xin meant. In the beginning, their cooperation was just out of business. She helped save Hei Yao, and he tried his best to help her and do things for Wuguang.

They helped each other through some difficulties. Now that Hei Yao was rescued and the deal was concluded, Hu Po and Kai Xin were in a state of clearing money and goods.

Although money and goods are cleared…but how can human affection and human life be summed up in such light words as transaction and money and goods?

Their relationship has changed, it is no longer a pure interest relationship, so they need to redefine each other’s identities.

“We… have nowhere to go.” Amber looked at Kai Xin’s face and said, “In the past, you and I made a covenant with ‘interests’, can we change it now?”

Kai Xin smiled, “What do you want to become?”

“Now, we use ‘ideal’ to reach a covenant.” Amber said solemnly, “Is it okay, Kai Xin?”
