Chapter 412 I'm Really Not a Doctor

Chapter 412 I'm Really Not a Doctor (Please Subscribe)
The door of the biological laboratory opened, and sterile gas gushed out from the gap. Roxi stepped forward, his white protective suit stained with blood, and stopped in front of Hal.

Roche's protective gloves had been soaked red by the blood of the war dog. Hal was very familiar with that crimson color. He had been covered in blood countless times on the battlefield, relying on his bravery and force to break through the siege time and time again.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he swallowed a mouthful of corrosive saliva with difficulty. He didn't know whether what Luo Xi said would be good news or bad news.

But from a rational perspective, Broken Hound understood that the latter possibility was far greater than the former.

Come on, he would accept even the worst outcome. The War Dog could die on the operating table, die in the struggle with the Butcher's Nails.

Looking at Endred Hall who had an extremely serious expression on his face, Luo Xi's originally tense expression suddenly revealed a smile.

"I have good news for you, Captain Hal. We have successfully put the Butcher's Nail of the first warhound into a dead state. Under the hedging and covering of logic, his Butcher's Nail will no longer madly torture the host's will."

"We have completed the most critical step in overcoming the Butcher's Nails. Your request that the warriors no longer be disturbed by the Butcher's Nails has been achieved. What we have to do next is to remove the Butcher's Nails and give them a completely autonomous body."

Roche's words seemed to be filtered in Hal's ears. His scarlet world seemed to be cleared of dark clouds in an instant, like the rising sun. Roche's voice kept echoing in his mind.

"Butcher's Nail...frozen?"

Subconsciously, Hal thought this was another lie, just like those damn alien wizards he had encountered in the past years of war. Vicious lies always flowed from their mouths to deceive and induce less determined soldiers to make big mistakes.

However, the Broken Hound couldn't bear to expose this lie. For the war dog who had suffered from the butcher's nails, this might be the happiest lie in the world.

"No, how is this possible... Is it really possible that we can escape the curse of the Butcher's Nails?"

The tall War Dog veteran's eyes were out of focus and he couldn't help muttering to himself, while the other battle brothers around him looked at Hal in horror at his attitude.

Countless battles have proven Hal's leadership. He will never be blinded by anger. Anger will only fuel his hatred, and hatred will turn into extreme indifference and rationality.

It was a cold rage, purer and more real than the false fury the World Eaters felt when controlled by the Butcher's Nails.

Seeing Hal showing unprecedented confusion and daze, Luo Xi felt a greater sense of accomplishment.

Yes, he did it, he conquered the Butcher's Nails and brought the vicious creature to its knees.

"I can tell you responsibly that what you heard is true. We have successfully disabled the Butcher's Nails, but this is not the end. A large part of your brother's brain tissue has been eroded by the Butcher's Nails. His cerebral lobe and insula functions are no longer functioning. We are trying to reshape those parts."

Luo Xi rubbed his hands, changed into a pair of protective gloves, then turned around and walked back to the biological laboratory.

Through the gap between the metal door and the switch, Hal saw that his battle brother's skull had been cut open, and the brain tissue inside was directly exposed to the air in the laboratory.

With the dull sound of the airtight door being locked, Hal lost his sight again, but the uneasiness in his heart had dissipated a lot.

Roche had performed a miracle, the wise sage and doctor had vanquished the Butcher's Nails and the curse that had plagued them.

If that’s the case, why not believe that he can create another miracle?

In just a few minutes of communication, Hal's trust in a strange being like Roche soared, and he almost regarded him as the savior of the War Dogs.

In his heart, he silently prayed to the Lord of Mankind, willing to exchange all the merits and glory he had gained since following the Emperor in the Unification War for the salvation of one more battle brother.

With the help of the stone man, Luo Xi changed into clean protective clothing and was undergoing sterile treatment.

"How's it going, is the Broken Hound happy?" Sage Rand raised his head. He had already taken off the skull of the war dog in his hands, and then they would slowly peel off the tangled butcher's nails.

"That's right, then let's work harder and solve this problem thoroughly."

In fact, after Luo Xi became paralyzed and lost the Butcher's Nails, he thought about another possibility, which was not to remove the Butcher's Nails and let it continue to play the role of part of the brain tissue in the brain.

Because the Butcher's Nail no longer inflicts pain and torture, the threat it poses to the war dog has disappeared. Continuing the operation will lead to a further increase in the risk factor, and there may be unavoidable deaths of war dogs.

The Butcher's Nails of some war dogs were too deeply integrated. It was possible that as soon as they peeled off the Butcher's Nails, their lives would be lost before the nanorobots could reconstruct their brain organs and tissues.

But Luo Xi helplessly discovered that after the Butcher's Nail's underlying logic was covered by the Thought Stamp, this tenacious and vicious machine seemed to have been drained of all its vitality and began to rapidly enter the death stage.

This also means that the part of the brain functional tissue originally replaced by the Butcher's Nail will be lost again. The Butcher's Nail is no longer a part of the brain, but a completely foreign object.

"Then continue. Compared to the most difficult first step, this is much easier." Sage Rand smiled slightly. His body was also covered with the blood of the war dogs, but he felt very happy.

For a scientist, what could be more exciting than solving an unsolvable problem that once stumped him?
Considering that even the most sophisticated surgical operation could easily damage fragile brain tissue, Luo Xi hesitated for a moment and took out a small bottle of technological relic called [Nanophage].

This thing is actually a similar product to the [omnipotent bacteriophage] from the dark technological age. The latter can split and replicate itself exponentially, devouring the entire planet in just one hour, comparable to a planetary plague.

Of course, those in Luo Xi's hands are much weaker, and they have no such effect at all. Luo Xi uses them to eliminate the physical form of the Butcher's Nails as harmlessly as possible.

As long as the target is set as the Butcher's Nail, the nano-bacteriophage will devour and decompose the constituent materials of the Butcher's Nail at the atomic level. To the outside world, it will appear as if the Butcher's Nail has dissolved in water, and naturally there is no need for surgical means to remove it.

This is the safest way, and it is also the limit of what Luo Xi can do.

A nano-bacteriophage was injected into the light green nutrient solution. These extremely tiny and precise mechanical creations entered the war dog's blood through the circulatory pipes, and then entered the deep brain tissue along with the blood circulation.

Luo Xi could see the nano-phages at work through the hideous skull. These little guys were trying hard to eat and dissolve the metal parts of the Butcher's Nails, but under the control of the set program, they did not harm the flesh and blood tissue at all.

No matter how skilled a surgeon is, they cannot match the precision of nano-phages. The vicious worms were being dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the brain tissue that had been damaged for a long time immediately spurted out blood.

The Astartes' powerful body attempted to heal its wounds, but it was too slow compared to the trauma caused by the sudden loss of the Butcher's Nails.

Blood suddenly gushed out of the originally white brain. Roche and Rand had to speed up the bleeding, and the nanorobots responsible for reconstructing the brain tissue controlled by the stone man quickly filled the horrifying gaps.

Luo Xi is racing against time with the god of death. Every second wasted will cause the war dog to lose one point of life.

He would never allow the dawn of victory to disappear before his eyes.

He will definitely save all the war dogs, no one will be exempted!
