Life in North America, you call this an autopsy officer?!
Chapter 45 - 37 Luck

Chapter 45: Chapter 37 Luck

Brian, unaware of what he would encounter next,

a dispassionate mechanical female voice emanated from the four corners of the room, "Employee Brian, identity confirmed. Please enter Deformation Radiation Detector number 009 within five seconds."

With the mechanical woman’s voice trailing off,

a machine in the room, resembling a CT scanner, cast a green light that illuminated a specified area.

At the same time,

the mechanical female voice began counting down, "5... 4..."

Brian swallowed heavily, taking a decisive step into the green projection without hesitation, his heartbeat quickening with a sense of powerlessness over his fate.

At that moment,

his desire for power swelled within him!

As Brian stepped into the green-lit area,

the countdown ceased.

The entire room began to vibrate at a low frequency.

Buzz buzz buzz~

The sound was annoying enough to drive Brian to distraction.

Simultaneously, beams of yellow light, forming a grid, passed back and forth over his body as if scanning and detecting.

Accompanied by those visible yellow rays shining within Brian’s body,

a dense, almost black dark red stirred slowly and was forced out, blending into the yellow light, tainting it a faint dark yellow before quickly turning deeper and re-emerging from his body.

These deeper yellow rays mingled inconspicuously with the other lights.

Brian’s Supercomputer Perception, relying on the corners of his eyes, forcibly branded this change into his mind.

But his consciousness and state were far from fine.

Those rays, whatever they were, felt like countless tangible fine needles piercing through his body when they penetrated, and the irritating low-frequency buzzing of the machine noise was almost explosive!

Just as Brian felt like he couldn’t hold back from clutching his head and howling, the piercing low-frequency vibration began to slow and then disappeared within a breath or two.

Phew~

Brian could no longer contain himself, kneeling on the floor, head down, gasping for air.

Sweat poured down from him in large amounts.

A feeling of weakness surged within him.

Brian knew those yellow rays had carried intense radiation!

Threads of blood emerged from his eyes.

Fury, stimulated by emotion, uncontrollably spewed out large amounts of adrenaline, rapidly blocking the feeling of weakness in Brian’s body and mind, transforming into a clear sense of anger.

Right now, he really wanted to punch the bastards outside to smithereens!

However, Brian was well aware.

With neither background nor strength, no matter how angry he appeared, it was merely futile rage.

At that moment,

a thought took root and sprouted at the bottom of his heart: he did not want to go through today’s situation ever again!

He had to become stronger!

...

After several deep breaths,

Brian forcibly suppressed the fury within him, the blood in his eyes slowly dissipated, and the adrenaline flooding his body began to metabolize, being excreted with a lot of sweat.

Without the stimulation of adrenaline,

Brian could no longer hold himself up and slowly collapsed onto the floor.

As he sank into a stupor,

a man’s screams and Team Leader Susan’s roar seemed to echo in his ears...

Thump~

The heavy door to the room was opened.

Susan, with an icy expression, stepped over the wailing bodies of several soldiers on the floor, ignoring the residual radiation in the room and hurried to Brian’s side. Grinding her teeth, she hoisted Brian’s 170-pound body onto her shoulder and walked towards the exit.

Pavel watched his niece, single-minded as always, but didn’t try to stop her. He earnestly said, "Lurker 132 is extremely vigilant and cruel. Without Brian’s cooperation, we’ll have a hard time completing the task handed down from above."

Susan glared fiercely at her father’s friend, finding him utterly alien, "Mr. Pavel, spare me your crappy plans. All I know is that Brian, he’s my man, and he passed the machine’s test! As long as he’s not a Mutant, anyone who wants to touch him will have to answer to my guns first!"

"You’re just asking for trouble, Susan."

Pavel stepped aside, "You’re gambling your future on this insignificant character. He’s someone who’s only joined your team recently. You don’t even know his real past, he..."

"Shut up!"

"Brian is now my companion!

I never abandon those I acknowledge!

If he really has a problem...

I’ll execute him with my own hands!"

Susan interrupted Pavel, carrying Brian on her shoulder, taking big steps toward the base’s infirmary.

Behind her,

Pavel shrugged his shoulders.

He felt sorry for his old friend.

To have such a stubborn, obstinate daughter.

What a torment.

Pavel kicked the few soldiers who had been knocked down, "Alright, stop acting. Push the bodies inside to Deformation Radiation Detector number 009. If there really is a Mutant’s body there, our bonus this month will be hefty."

A few soldiers, who had just been screaming in agony, were now baring their teeth as they struggled up from the ground.

Clearly, they weren’t as frail as they appeared.

A moment.

The sealed room once again emitted a yellow glow.

But this time, the glow lasted less than two seconds before it altered from yellow to orange-red as it entered the corpses, and as time persisted, it suffused the entire room with a faint red hue...

Seeing this.

A smile spread across Pavel’s face.

Mad Dog Ike was indeed a Mutant!

...

Brian, in a groggy haze, felt as if he were floating on clouds, his head occasionally bumping into the cotton-like fluff.

You can’t say.

These clouds were both bouncy and fragrant.

In his daze.

Brian tossed his head side to side and opened his eyes, only to be met with a curved obstruction that blocked his view ahead.

He instinctively reached out to push the object aside.

Hmm?

This touch...

The next moment.

Boom~

In an instant world-flip.

Brian was slammed onto the ground by Team Leader Susan with a judo throw.

Brian gasped for air, hunched over in a ’C’ shape, the pain from the heavy impact almost leaving him breathless.

"Hmph!"

Susan snorted coldly, looked down at the obstruction that had been expanding since she was 15 such that she couldn’t even see her own feet, a flush creeping up her cheeks. She grabbed Brian’s ankle and dragged the tofu-stealer along with her towards the medical room.

A moment.

Because of his tactless reminder of his earlier mistake, Brian was beaten black and blue by an infuriated Susan. Stripped of his clothes, his chest covered with electrode pads, he bit down on a breathing tube and obediently lay down in a glass vat filled with a green solution.

The composition of the green solution was unknown.

But once inside.

Brian felt a cool and refreshing sensation surging into his painfully prickling body.

About ten minutes later.

The female doctor monitoring him tapped the glass lid, "Alright, most of the special radiation inside you has been cleared. Now just eat more vegetables and less exercise. Abstain from any sexual activities, and in about half a month, your body should return to normal."

Brian spat out the breathing tube from his mouth and moved his body around, feeling much better indeed.

He took the towel the doctor handed him and, without minding her tofu-stealing gaze, began to dry off his body while asking, "Is that yellow light very harmful to the body?"

The female doctor gave Brian a strange look, wondering why he didn’t know this.

Still, considering Brian had been brought in by Susan, she nodded,

"Yes, it’s a very aggressive method for detecting Mutants.

A normal person, after being irradiated, would have a massive number of cells entering accelerated degeneration.

You can think of it as shortening your life by several years.

But don’t worry.

Team Leader Susan used up her merit points to exchange for this one use of the Repair Liquid for you, and since you arrived in time, you shouldn’t have suffered much impact."

Susan...

Brian felt moved in his heart.

In fact, under the wonder of Supercomputer Perception.

He not only remembered the nearly black dark-red substance concealed within him but also knew well Susan’s actions and words from before.

Brian knew this was just Susan’s character and not special treatment towards him.

But he was still profoundly touched.

To work with such a person.

He was quite fortunate.

Furthermore.

Brian learned a lot of things thanks to the conversation between Susan and Pavel.

Mutants...

Lurker number 132...

Was this the secret Great Uncle had been hiding?

Brian had already harbored murderous intentions towards this flip-flopping Great Uncle who threatened him.

Now, knowing that the man had used him as cannon fodder for testing.

Coupled with Susan taking risks on his behalf.

After much consideration.

Brian decided to come clean to Susan about his Great Uncle threatening him to join NW!

As for the consequences.

They couldn’t be worse than where he was now anyway.

He was indeed lucky to have passed the test.

Brian didn’t believe Pavel would really let him off the hook.

Without dealing with Great Uncle, this hidden threat!

It could very well implicate him!
