Chapter 118: Transfer
Carla stood in front of Kasia in high heels, wearing a large straw hat with dark sunglasses covering half of her face, and a long plain dress. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoIt's summer time in most parts of the empire now, and it's Kara's favorite attire in summer.
"Aren't you afraid of being discovered by those people at the military school?" said Kasia with a smile on her face.
"If I were to be discovered, I would never be in your eyes. Carla replied solemnly, and took off her sunglasses with her slender fingers, revealing a face that no longer had any stress, and her ruddy color was restored to it, and she wore a little light makeup, which looked good.
This healthy appearance is already in a state of almost recovery.
"Let's find another place, it's too remote, it's quiet, but the two of us sit together, it's too eye-catching. Kara turned to herself and sat down in a sunny spot, and Kasia had to drag her heavy luggage after her.
"How's the injury, there's probably no big problem, right? I mean recuperate. Kara watched Kasia walk slowly, got up and helped him take the coffee-colored box he was carrying, as well as the suitcase he was dragging behind him, and then looked at Kasia and asked.
"It's not a big problem, but after returning to the military school, it is already a scheduled thing to lie down in the biological experiment building for a few days. Kasia gestured to the palm of his left hand, which was tightly wrapped in gauze, and there was also a piercing wound from the cane sword. The size of the wound is a little larger than the hole in the chest. There are no stitches yet, but basic wound management has been done with the help of Dr. Nomos to ensure that the injury does not recur and become infected. The surgeons are so strong, but after all, it is only in the early stages of the first stage, and they still have a long way to go.
"You've got a piercing wound in your chest, too, but looking at the way you look now, you're much better than me. Kasia continued, and the summer sun on her body suddenly became warm and comfortable. Then he thought about the 1024 number code on Kara's chest, and the expression on his face stiffened, but then returned to normal.
"That's for sure. Kara sighed before continuing, "That knife only hurt me, it just caused me to lose too much blood, and then pierced two layers of my skin. ”
Then Kara glanced at Kasia and said, "Maybe you guessed it, I was stabbed in the heart, but I didn't die because I didn't die?"
"I guess I know. Kasia's voice was a little hesitant, he had thought about it in the days he had spent in his hospital bed. "Even if we are surgeons, the key things of ordinary people, those things that can work for ordinary people, are still valid for us. ”
Kara nodded, smiling, and motioned for Kasia to continue.
"So if our hearts were destroyed, we would have died in the circumstances you had at that time. Unless there is a top-notch medical team next to us, equipped with the best medical equipment, no one can save us from a completely destroyed heart. Kasia said, and then his tone changed, "It stands to reason that you should be dead, at least in the eyes and knowledge of the time. But what if the stab didn't destroy the heart, but something else? ”
Looking at Kara, Kasia seemed to be recalling something, and said, "I remember you said something to me, and you said that it was your belief - as long as it is something that can be controlled, then make sure that it does not have any problems at the most critical moment, it should be this sentence." ”
"Did I say that?" Karlsia's face showed confusion, and Kasia shook her head with a helpless expression, and then continued, "You value your life very much, for everyone. It's just that your love is stronger. So for what you can control by yourself, you will be 200% ready for it. ”
"So I ruled out the possibility that you were born with a heart on the right side. Not only is this too rare, but it's also because during the days we've been on missions together, sometimes you'll still have a noticeable heartbeat on your left chest when you are observed. ”
Kara nodded, then looked into Kasia's eyes and asked suspiciously, "When you boys observe a girl, do you guys focus on their chests?"
Kasia was speechless for a moment, her face flushed slightly, and she avoided Kara's gaze.
Kara laughed, a smile from the depths of her heart on the right, a beautiful voice, like a bird that crows in the morning, and even if she is woken up, she will not be annoyed.
"Yes, like you said, my heart is on the right side. Carla patted her right chest, and Kasia rightfully avoided her gaze, otherwise she would be taunted again.
"It's not innate, and I'm not like that, even though there are instances like that. Because I was afraid of death and knew that the heart was also one of the most fatal vital points, I hired a top surgeon to do heart metastasis surgery for me as early as when I didn't enter the military academy, and forcibly transferred my real heart to the right side and suppressed it, otherwise the beating amplitude would be too large, and if you look closely, you will also be found. Then, in the original location of the heart, a heart-like substitute is implanted, connecting the surrounding major blood vessels. When it is destroyed, it will also be like the real heart is destroyed, a large amount of blood will come out, and the body will convulse and coma. Because I know that if I die, it is very likely that I will die at the hands of the operator, and if this physical stage play is not realistic enough to deceive the eyes of the enemy, even if the heart is transferred to the right side, I will not be able to escape from the enemy's hands. ”
"So whether it was a coma or a lot of bleeding, the reason should be understood?" Karla asked Kasia, who was listening attentively.
Nodding, Kasia had a look of surprise on her face: "So it's like having two hearts at the same time." When one of them is destroyed, it bleeds, it will be unconscious. Then, during this time, another spare heart is awakened and re-energized to the body. ”
There is nothing wrong with this understanding, but the main function of the heart substitute is to deceive the enemy. There are also various drugs placed in advance, tranquilizers, various hormones, cardiotonics, etc., when it is destroyed, it will automatically and slowly close the connection to the surrounding main blood vessels, and these things will be injected into the residual blood along with it. The substitute is almost not much different from the function of the real heart, but it is a substitute after all, and it is not as perfect as the real one. Kara added, then took Kasia's hand and placed it on her own slick neck.
Kasia's whole arm was stiff, her face was very red, and a little sweat began to break out because of nervousness, and what kind of touch she had on her hands was also completely blocked by her brain because of nervousness. Basking in the sun in the summer, you're sure to get hot and sweaty, he thought.
Kara was speechless, looked at Kasia's appearance and shook her head, and then said, "Didn't you feel my skin, seriously, your hand is here, do you feel anything else?"
"What's that?" said Kasia's head was a mess.
"The beating of the carotid arteries. Kara replied, word for word.
Kasia's head reacted, though his face turned redder. The light in his eyes returned, and he looked at the place where his finger had been placed, where the carotid artery of a normal human would be. But now he didn't feel the slightest throbbing in his fingers.
"Along with the surgery for heart metastasis, the arteriovenous positions in some key parts have also been finely adjusted. Carla looked at Kasia and said seriously, "Of course, this is not the intention to explain the specific effectiveness of this operation. Rather, I want to tell you that in the future, among the enemies or allies you encounter, there will definitely be people who have undergone similar surgeries like me, so you have to be careful. Some physicians are like mechanics, with scalpels in their hands as powerful as the precision tools in the hands of mechanics. ”
After Kara said these words, silence fell suddenly, as if darkness had fallen over her. Even though it's a summer sun, it's a strong afternoon.
"Aren't you going back to Manoma?" asked Kasia after a moment.
