Chapter 48

In addition to crushing the Energy Crystal into powder and refining it into medicine, there was another way to use it called implantation. It was directly implanted into the flesh and blood, using the blood as a carrier to transfer energy.

In fact, implantation allowed people to gain power faster with almost no energy loss.

Of course, ordinary people would not accept implanting something that was taken from the body of a virus-infected person. Who knew if it would carry the virus?

In addition, the energy of this thing needed blood as a carrier. It was usually implanted in the heart for the best effect. If it could not be implanted in the heart, it should at least be implanted near the aorta. In any case, this kind of implantation could not be risk-free.

When Gu Ding heard about this method from Neptune, he was stunned. He would definitely not be able to implant it in the heart. He would need a professional doctor to do it. As for implanting it near the aorta, Gu Ding did not know how feasible it was.

"Where would it be safer near the aorta?" Gu Ding was still thinking about where to implant it. "If it's implanted in the arm or thigh artery, wouldn't it be very troublesome during the battle?"

"Therefore, it's more appropriate to implant it near the carotid artery," Neptune explained. "Because the movement involved in this part is relatively small, and it's not very easy to attack. Although your physique is special, I estimate it will take at least two or three days to finish absorbing the energy of this crystal. If it's implanted in the arm or thigh, if there's a battle during this period and it hits the implanted crystal, it will cause the crystal to become unstable and may even explode. Therefore, no matter how you look at it, the neck is the safest place. "

"That's true, but who's going to do it?" Gu Ding glanced at Lilliath, who was sitting not far away, and shook his head. He guessed that the little girl would not agree to it either.

"You can only rely on yourself," Neptune suggested.

"How are you going to use that Energy Crystal?" Lilliath suddenly asked, "If it's not crushed into powder, it can't be made into medicine. But neither you nor I are strong enough to crush that crystal into powder … "

"I'm going to implant it!" Gu Ding did not intend to hide anything.

Lilliath was silent for a moment. "Do you need my help?"

"No, I can do it myself." Gu Ding shook his head.

"It's too dangerous for you to do it yourself. This thing has to be implanted near the artery. If you turn on the monitoring device, the image will be in the opposite direction. It will be very troublesome if you make a mistake and cause bleeding. " Liliath frowned slightly. "Let me do it. I've taken a surgical course before. Although it's only been a year, it should be much better than a layman like you. At least I've dissected a lot of animal carcasses."

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Gu Ding felt that this was not like Lilliath's personality.

"I can only deal with one of those monsters outside. My wristwatch had just connected to this spaceship, and it showed that the power system had been damaged. I guessed that the other spaceships had suffered the same thing. That's why we need to kill those five monsters before we can sneak into the space dock to see if there are any intact spaceships. For this, you need to increase your strength as soon as possible. It's not a question of whether I want to or not. It's much safer for me to perform the implantation. Also, I'm guessing you don't have much food left, so we need to leave this planet as soon as possible, "Liliath explained seriously.

"It's much safer for her to do it than for you to do it yourself. You should have seen how accurate her eyesight is," Neptune reminded him from the side.

Liliath had shown on the first day that she had extremely accurate eyesight. Only someone with good eyesight could achieve her level of accuracy.

"Alright." Gu Ding took out the Energy Crystal and handed it to Liliath.

"Are you implanting it in the neck?" Liliath asked as she took the Energy Crystal.

"Yes, it's inconvenient for other parts of the body to fight." Gu Ding nodded.

Gu Ding took off his shirt and lay on the bed. He pointed to the artery on the left side of his neck. "I'll do it here."

Liliath took out a bottle of medicine and injected it into the skin of Gu Ding's neck. It was an anesthetic. Then, she began the disinfection process.

Her surgical equipment was very simple. A knife, a pair of sterile gloves, and a bottle of cell repair agent.

After a while, Gu Ding felt the anesthetic begin to take effect, and he lost feeling in his neck.

"The anesthetic should be starting to take effect, right?" Liliath estimated that it was about time.

"Yes." Gu Ding snorted.

"Then I'll start." Liliath picked up the sterilized knife and cut into Gu Ding's neck.

About two or three minutes later, Liliath stuffed the cleaned Energy Crystal into Gu Ding's wound. The whole process was done without any hindrance.

Gu Ding could not help but marvel at how accurate her eyesight was. There was no hesitation or hesitation in her actions, and she was in place in one go.

After stuffing the Energy Crystal into the wound on Gu Ding's neck, Liliath injected the cell repair agent into Gu Ding's body.

In less than thirty seconds, the wound on Gu Ding's neck had completely healed, and there was no trace of it.

After putting away the surgical equipment, Liliath smiled. "How is it? My skills aren't bad, right? "

Gu Ding touched his neck. The numbness left by the anesthetic had not gone away, but he could feel that the wound had completely healed.

"Look at it yourself. It's healing very well," Liliath said as she took out a mirror and shone it on Gu Ding's neck where the implant had just been done.

Gu Ding looked up. There were no marks left, and there was no bulge caused by the implant. "Well, it's pretty good."

"After the Energy Crystal is implanted, you'll soon feel a large amount of energy overflowing from the crystal, and your body will be full of power. However, don't release the power carelessly. Use this power for cell strengthening … "Before Neptune could finish, he seemed to be interrupted by something. Then, his voice sounded a little panicked. "Where did these viruses come from? I've checked it many times. This crystal bead only contains pure energy. How could there be so many viruses?! "

"No, this is not the same virus in the monsters' bodies …" Neptune quickly noticed the abnormality of these viruses. "And they're only devouring energy, they're not eroding Gu Ding's body …"

"What happened?" Gu Ding asked doubtfully. "Could it be that my body has been invaded by a virus? I don't want to become one of those monsters."

"No, I was mistaken." Neptune stared intently at the changes in Gu Ding's body. The viruses that appeared out of nowhere quickly devoured the energy of the crystal. The whole process took less than three minutes. If Gu Ding were to absorb it himself, it would take at least three days.

After absorbing the energy, the viruses completely disappeared without a trace, and a crack began to appear on one of the gene locks in Gu Ding's body. As time passed, the crack grew bigger and bigger …
