Chapter 19 Awakening
Fu Qihai is dreaming.
A long, endless dream.
Sometimes he feels like a fish, breathing the oxygen in the water and swimming freely in the deep sea.
As he swims, he will think: It turns out that this is the feeling of breathing in water.
Sometimes he feels like a bird soaring in the sky, like a petrel in a junior high school text.
The texts he had recited when he was a child appeared dimly in his dreams, and he turned into a petrel and flew in the storm.
Storms, stormy seas, lightning and thunder...
"Crack!" A bolt of lightning struck him through the dark clouds.
Grass, it hurts so much!
Fu Qihai felt that he was about to be numb by lightning, sometimes his chest, sometimes his abdomen, and sometimes his back.
Is this the price of being a scumbag?
Suddenly, he felt a chill on the top of his head, and he felt a sense of enlightenment...
But most of the time, it was just a vague dream.
until……
[You have successfully transformed into a Star Warrior of the White Scars Legion, reaching the milestone event of the stage! 】
[Start calculating assimilation points... 781 points]
The icy voice in his head passed through the muddy dreamland and directly reached Fu Qihai's thoughts.
He was suddenly awakened.
Fu Chenghai suddenly opened his eyes, and what caught his eyes was a turbid and surging fluorescent yellow liquid, through which the transparent glass cover outside could be seen.
Fu Qihai found that he was naturally breathing in the liquid, and the flowing liquid filled his lungs with his breath, shuttling through the mouth, nose and throat.
He moved his hands and feet, feeling a little strange, being fixed, but he had an inexplicable feeling.
I feel that I can break free with a light struggle.
But Fu Qihai did not move, lying in the glass cabin, calmly looking at the surrounding environment.
At the same moment, the red warning light outside the low-temperature cultivation cabin suddenly lit up, making a "dididi" sound.
Master Kunto, who was buried in front of the workbench, suddenly raised his head.
"Huh? Woke up early," his mechanical prosthetic eyes flickered, "half a month earlier than the scheduled time."
He walked to the training room.
Through the turbid culture fluid, Fu Qihai saw that there seemed to be a figure shaking outside, and was about to stare intently, when he suddenly felt the cabin shake, and the fluid surrounding him was slowly descending.
"Tch-crack!"
With the liquid drained, the glass door opened.
Fu Qihai saw Master Kunto's old face under the dark red hood and the dark green mechanical prosthetic eye.
Fu Qihai's vocal cords were viscous and he said: "Master..."
"Come out, be careful, don't fall, and don't use too much force." A familiar hoarse voice.
Fu Qihai tried his best to control his slightly unfamiliar limbs, carefully stood up from the training cabin and turned out.
A little viscous and transparent liquid remained on the skin.
He was completely naked, but Fu Qihai looked down and saw that his hair had grown back.
I mean leg hair.
General Fu Qihai stood still, and when he looked down, he noticed something was wrong.
Master Quinto, who used to be as short as his shoulders, became even shorter now, reaching only his midsection.
Fu Qihai's brain, which had been cultured for a long time, barely turned around.
This is... I got taller?
"Come out with me." Before Fu Qihai could ask, Master Kunto turned and left.
Fu Qihai, who was completely naked, followed Quinto to the workbench staggeringly.
"Sit." Quinto pointed to an iron box next to him.
Fu Qihai sat down as he said.
The manipulator under Kunto's burqa dexterously pulled out some metal tubes from the workbench, and stuck the probe at the end of the tubes to Fu Chenghai's head, chest, and back.
Fu Qihai, who was sitting on the iron box, was also slightly adjusting his breathing, adapting to his new body.
He felt that his hearing had improved, and his eyesight had also improved. The shadowless lamps around the workbenches could not illuminate the dark corners, and he could see clearly when he looked closely.
He felt something was wrong again, Fu Qihai held his breath and listened carefully...he heard the heartbeat in his chest...something seemed wrong.
Heart murmur? No, it's not a noise... it should be... it's...
"Very good, both hearts are beating normally, and there is no organ necrosis." Master Kunto's voice sounded beside him.
As he spoke, the technical priest picked up a small scalpel from the table, and made a deep stroke on Fu Chenghai's chest.
Blood gushed out instantly, but what was exposed under the skin was not the red muscle layer, but a piece of black carapace-like substance.
The blood only gushed out a little, and then began to coagulate quickly. After a few seconds, a fresh small blood scab formed.
Fu Qihai looked down at all this.
There is already a clear understanding in my heart.
from now on.
He is not human anymore.
He is an Astartes with two hearts and three lungs.
It is a precision-operated war machine and a well-designed killing tool.
…………
At this time, the frigate Dagger was in the training cage.
Wo Kuotai, who had lost his lower body, was sitting in a mechanical circular table-shaped wheelchair, holding a heavy long knife in each hand, and waving it vigorously.
Facing the weapons attacking from all directions, without his feet, he could not move and dodge, so he could only rely on his two strong arms and weapons to block.
"Ding ding dong, bang bang, bang!"
Wo Kuotai used the strength of his waist and abdomen to turn around quickly, and the long knife in his hand flew into an afterimage, resisting the incoming weapons around him.
The powerful collision of metal and metal burst out clusters of sparks.
Suddenly, a metal spear suddenly stabbed straight at the lower left of the back, and Wo Kuotai couldn't dodge it in time, and blood gushed out from the side of his waist instantly.
"Ah!" He cried out in pain, more like anger than pain.
Outside the training cage, Talar crossed his arms and silently watched Wo Kuotai in the cage.
To be wounded by a training cage is a shame for any veteran of the Astartes.
At this time, a black mechanical skull floating in the air flew into the training cabin.
This is a servo skull.
Red lights flashed twice in the hollow eye sockets of the skull, and an indifferent electronic sound came out:
"Master Talar, Lord Wo Kuotai, Master Kunto invites you to the laboratory."
Talar stopped the operation of the training cage at the right time, looked at Wo Kuotai, who was dripping with sweat in the cage, panting with his head bowed, and said:
"Wo Kuotai, guess what, that kid figured it out."
Wo Kuotai, who was still in resentment, suddenly raised his head and said in surprise, "The transformation has been completed so quickly?"
