Meanwhile, Charlie was led by Kathleen to take the elevator to the first floor of the building, and they then passed the three defense centers on the first floor before taking a special elevator to the freezing center on the fifth floor underground.Since Jordan had prepared this freezing center to preserve his own body and the freezing center was designed to last for three hundred years, the security here was no less than the defense facility for the president to hide in the doomsday plan.Although the freezing center was nearly a hundred meters deep underground, there was a complete strategic reserve here. Even if the United States was truly hit by a nuclear attack, this place would still be safe and sound. According to the design scale, this freezing center could freeze at least a hundred bodies. However, at present, aside from experimental remains, only Merlin was actually being frozen here.After Charlie had arrived at the freezing center, he found that this place was like a
Charlie naturally knew Merlin’s style of action.As long as he were to wake up again and retain his previous memories, he would definitely try his best to investigate what had happened prior to his death.For example, who had actually killed Homer, that scum from the Fox family, and who had actually wanted to exterminate the entire Acker family. Therefore, in Charlie’s opinion, he might as well take this opportunity to have a good chat with Merlin.He would let Merlin know who he was, reveal that he was the one who had killed Homer, and also make sure that Merlin knew that he was the one who had saved him and the entire Acker family. If this person knew better and knew when to advance or retreat, Charlie would definitely be able to use him in the future.If this person did not know any better and did not know when to advance or retreat, Charlie would simply erase his memory, knock him unconscious, and throw him into the streets of New York.In that case, at least his life had
It was just that none of these staff members thought that they would have to use this simple and brutal way to thaw Merlin now.Since Merlin’s body was like an ice lump that was at minus two hundred degrees, the warm water in the pool cooled down extremely quickly the moment his body entered the water. The staff quickly turned on the circulation pump and let the heating device circulate and heat the water in the pool to maintain the water temperature at forty degrees Celsius. This rough thawing method quickly showed great disadvantagesAs soon as Merlin’s skin began to thaw, it began oozing blood immediately, just like a piece of beef that had just been thawed. The fluid in the cells began to ooze out blood mixed with cell fluids and body fluids due to the rupture of the cells.The person in charge covered his face in horror and spoke up as he said, “Miss Fox, this... this is basically irreversible damage...”Kathleen was also shocked, but she still said calmly, “Okay, there’s no
The moment the Regenerating Pill was put into Merlin’s mouth, Charlie could feel that Merlin’s body was wrapped in dense and strong Reiki. After that, the Reiki began reshaping his body.Although Merlin’s body was wrapped in a special freezing suit and the changes in the freezing suit could not be seen at all, Charlie could feel that Merlin’s body, which was riddled with holes, was rapidly reorganizing itself at an unbelievable speed.Merlin’s first organ to recover was his heart. His heart which was almost shattered had fully recovered at this time and had begun beating again.However, at this time, there was no blood in the blood vessels in his body, and all his blood had been replaced by cryoprotective fluid.Under the effect of the Regenerating Pill, the hematopoietic organs in his body gradually began to recover one after the other. This was followed by a large amount of fresh blood being produced continuously, and the original cryoprotective fluids were directly expelled fr
It was this infinitely elongated time axis that caused his consciousness to approach chaos.Although he had opened his eyes at this moment, he still felt as if he was in that endless sleep. But at this moment, he suddenly heard a man’s voice saying, “Merlin Lammy, can you see me clearly now?”Merlin was shocked when he heard this voice. Strangely, no voice had appeared in his dream for so long.Even if he dreamed of his wife, daughter, and his deceased father, the images were like early pantomime movies with no sound and only images.This was the first time he had heard a voice—a real voice.However, this voice was very strange to him.What was even more strange was that although this voice was unfamiliar, there seemed to be an indescribable familiarity amidst the unfamiliarity. He could not help but think to himself, ‘I must... I must have heard this voice somewhere before…’‘It’s just that... too much time has passed, and I suddenly cannot remember it…’But at this time
“What?! You’re Ashley’s son?! How... How can this be possible?!”Merlin had an incomparably appalled look on his face when he heard Charlie’s introduction!He clearly remembered the conversation that he had had with Christian not long ago.At that time, they had been talking about Lord Acker and Christian’s sister, Ashley. Christian had also mentioned his nephew, whose whereabouts and life and death were unknown.Christian had said that the entire Acker family had traveled almost all over the world to find him.However, they had been unable to find any traces of Charlie’s whereabouts no matter what methods they tried.Many people even thought that Charlie had to be dead, but his corpse simply could not be found. However, the Acker family had always felt that Charlie was definitely still living somewhere in this world and that they simply had not found him yet.Merlin never would have dreamt that the first person he would see after opening his eyes upon coming back from the dea
After saying that, Merlin then said angrily without waiting for Charlie to answer, “Of course I would be unwilling! I had just found out that my daughter was pregnant! I was just about to go back to live and enjoy a good life with my daughter and wife! In the end, I was killed before I could even walk out of the stadium! Would you be willing to accept that if it was you?!”Charlie shook his head, smiled, and said, “What I want you to see is that although your body had been pierced by countless bullets, you were lucky that your head was not hit by a bullet. Otherwise, you would really be dead now.”Merlin looked at Charlie suspiciously. “What do you mean?”Charlie pointed at the towering freezing tanks and smiled as he said indifferently, “Look carefully at the stainless steel tanks around you. These are specially used for freezing human bodies. You have to pay attention to tank No. 7 because you were frozen in this tank before you woke up.”Merlin was so shocked by the stainless st
Charlie’s words put Merlin in a trance for a moment.He found that both of his previous assumptions were somewhat contradictory at this moment.First of all, if everything was real now, it would be impossible to explain how he could still come back to life after his body had been riddled with bullet holes.Secondly, if everything now was just his own consciousness, it would then be impossible to explain how his brain could survive in that situation at that time.After all, when the body loses its ability to supply blood, the brain would only last for five minutes at most. According to the situation at that time, it would have been impossible for him to have retained his consciousness. Since he could not retain his consciousness, what was going on now, then?When Charlie saw that he was thinking hard, he said lightly, “Let me tell you how you survived.”“After you were shot that day, I used my method to preserve your brain from dying so you could be brought here to be frozen smoot
