Chapter 70

Seeing the doctor's constipated expression, Wang Ge and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts. Could it be...

The doctor gave Wang Ge a sly glance from the corner of his eye, "You blackened my bottle of herbal essence, so I'll trick you once too!"

"His condition is much better than expected." The doctor took a deep breath, almost suffocating Wang Ge and the others, but since he had treated Curly, they couldn't get angry with the doctor. Besides, the news was ultimately good.

"Now he's soaking in the gene tank. When he wakes up, how much he recovers will depend on himself." The doctor folded his arms and pinched his chin, "To be conservative, he should be able to take care of himself."

Hearing the doctor say this, Wang Ge and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

Being able to take care of himself is good; at least he won't be a cripple. With Curly's strong personality, if he became a cripple, he might not be able to accept it psychologically.

Wang Ge, as a representative, went in to take a look. He saw Curly, who looked like he had fully recovered, soaking in the gene tank. Although he was in a sleep state, his face was filled with anger and hatred, clearly reflecting his mental state before he fainted.

After silently watching Curly for a while, Wang Ge stepped out from behind the screen and asked the doctor, who was resting on a chair, "Can the essence from the heavens make him fully recover?"

"I don't know." The doctor shrugged and spread his hands, "It might or might not, but based on the effect of the earth essence, the essence from the heavens has a high chance of helping him."

"Alright, I understand." Wang Ge nodded forcefully, and White Hair, Little Braid, and the others all looked at him. With Curly unconscious, Wang Ge had become their mainstay. Little Braid asked, "Big Brother Wang, can we just try to get the essence from the heavens?"

"It's not that easy." The doctor shook his head, "I'm not trying to discourage you, but the essence from the heavens costs 1.01 million per bottle, and it's in high demand. The main issue is that the production of the essence from the heavens is too low, and even the rich and powerful can't get enough, let alone us ordinary people?"

"Ah..." White Hair, Little Braid, and the others were depressed. Clearly, they had underestimated the problem, thinking that saving up enough money would be enough.

"I'll take care of it." Wang Ge patted each of their shoulders and smiled relaxedly, "Your task is to take good care of Curly. When I bring back the essence from the heavens, if Curly loses a single curl, don't blame Big Brother Wang for dealing with you!"

"Big Brother Wang..." White Hair, Little Braid, and the others wanted to share the burden, but considering their own abilities, they could only accept Wang Ge's arrangement.

"Don't worry, we'll take good care of the boss." White Hair, Little Braid, and the others promised solemnly, as if taking an oath.

The doctor looked at them and secretly sneered, "Easy to say, but who knows if they can really do it?"

Yet, an involuntary sour thought popped into his mind—these little ruffians are actually quite loyal. Why don't I have such friends...

Suddenly, the door, which had been closed to block out the smoke from outside, was violently kicked open, and several burly men wearing half-black masks stormed in.

"What are you doing?" The doctor was startled and stood up abruptly. Wang Ge gave White Hair and the others a meaningful look and then pretended to be surprised and afraid, standing still.

These burly men, wearing half-black masks that exposed their noses and below, were not kidnappers but the "Black Police" responsible for the security of Black City.

The light of the Federation's law does not shine on Black City, where the underground order prevails. The Black Police are the enforcers of this underground order.

Under special circumstances, they have the "unlimited firing right," which means they can kill anyone they want!

Only the Four Great Diamonds, the four top officials, can mobilize the Black Police. The appearance of the Black Police indicates that the other three Great Diamonds are already involved.

Actually, Wang Ge and the others had enough time to escape, but with Curly still in surgery, how could they leave him behind?

However, they thought they had handled everything cleanly and wouldn't attract any trouble.

The Black Police were silent, each holding a [Clay Gun] aimed at Wang Ge and the others, including the doctor.

The leader had a disproportionately large head, and he wasn't wearing a black mask because his status was different from the Black Police.

He was one of the Four Great Diamonds, nicknamed "Big Head."

Big Head's cold eyes scanned the faces of the doctor and Wang Ge and the others, then he walked around the white screen to take a look at Curly, who was soaking in the gene tank.

He was here for Curly because one of the deceased doctors had just fought a match with Curly tonight, making Curly a suspect.

Walking to the gene tank, Big Head placed his communication watch on the controller, and in an instant, it connected. Due to his privileges, he directly accessed the operation records of the gene tank.

He then walked to the operating table and used his privileges to take control of the optical brain system. After understanding the entire surgery process, Big Head's suspicions were dispelled.

Level 10 Water Brother, Level 10 Doctor, and Level 8 Mosquito all died in Water Brother's office. Although the situation was unclear, the three Great Diamonds urgently decided to control all Level 8 and above life forms in Black City.

As for Level 7 and below, the three Great Diamonds agreed that they were unlikely to be involved. Therefore, after dispelling his suspicions about Curly, Big Head also let Wang Ge and White Hair off the hook. In his eyes, they were mere ants, incapable of threatening Water Brother and the others.

He noticed the dirt on White Hair and Tire's clothes, which was clearly dried vomit. Big Head imagined that it must have been because they saw Curly being carried out.

Big Head had watched the entire match video of Curly and had to admit that the cuts all over Curly's body were indeed shocking. As a result, he mentally categorized White Hair and Tire as harmless.

"Black City has had an incident. Now, the three of us Great Diamonds have decided that no one can leave until the situation is clarified." Big Head was too lazy to elaborate, waving his hand, "All electronic devices must be turned off, or you will bear the consequences!"

With that, Big Head walked out, frowning and waving his hand at the door to disperse the lingering smoke.

Seeing the countless cigarette butts on the ground, Big Head felt a warm feeling in his heart.

He had also risen from the bottom, and he had been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment before. So when Curly was in surgery, and his brothers were waiting outside, smoking so much, he completely understood, even reminiscing about his past gangster days.

Really, getting older and living a comfortable life for too long makes one often recall the past... Big Head smiled bitterly and shook his head.

The Black Police aimed their Clay Guns at Wang Ge and the others, waiting until they turned off their communication devices before silently leaving, their presence leaving a chilling effect.

After they left, the doctor slammed the table in frustration, "Is there any humanity left? Not even a phone call is allowed, and my wife is waiting for me to come home..."

A Black Police officer silently appeared outside the door, his Clay Gun mercilessly aimed at the doctor.

The doctor's mouth twitched, and he obediently shut up and sat down. The Black Police officer smiled coldly and then silently disappeared.

White Hair, Little Braid, and the others were not too bothered. Although they had families, it was common for them to be away from home for days or even weeks while hanging out in Meteor Street.

Wang Ge, however, was very troubled. The last time he was detained at the Ye family, he returned home to find Wang Fei with swollen eyes from crying all night.

This time, Wang Fei would be even more worried. But thinking about the first time, Wang Fei might be more understanding this time.

There was no choice but to wait for the Black City to lift the restrictions before going home to explain to Wang Fei. If he left now, it would be like admitting guilt.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind the white screen. Wang Ge and the others immediately reacted, and Wang Ge was the first to rush over.

Sure enough, Curly had opened his eyes and was trying to lift his head out of the gene nutrient solution.

Seeing him make such a movement, Wang Ge let out a sigh of relief and leaned over the nutrient tank, asking with concern, "Curly, how do you feel?"

"Pretty good." Curly smiled.

Seeing Curly's smile, Wang Ge and the others felt a heavy weight in their hearts.

They knew Curly too well. Curly was a straightforward man, and when he smiled, his mouth would open wide, and his eyes would squint.

But now, only one side of Curly's mouth was open, the other side still in a non-smiling state, and only one eye was squinted, the other still open as usual, giving a very strange feeling...

The doctor explained cautiously, "This is due to the regeneration and misalignment of the tendons. The doctor's technique was too strange, and the tendons were damaged where they were cut..."

"What's wrong with you?" Curly, unaware of his appearance, smiled brightly, trying to use his arms to sit up to prove he was fine. But his arms went limp, and he fell back into the gene tank with a splash, splashing the nutrient solution everywhere.

"Ouch, my..." The doctor blurted out in pain, and Wang Ge and the others glared at him. The doctor shrank his neck and chose to submit.

"I..." Curly couldn't believe he had become like this. Before, he was a Level 8 life form, able to punch with 350 kilograms of force, but now he couldn't even support his own body.

Curly gritted his teeth and tried again, finally managing to support himself with his arms, but his arms, which looked strong, were trembling, and his forehead was drenched in cold sweat, a huge blow to him.

White Hair, Little Braid, and the others all lowered their heads, unable to bear seeing their once seemingly invincible leader reduced to this state.

Wang Ge clenched his teeth, then chuckled and reached out to grab Curly's arm, "Looks like you're recovering well. The earth essence is indeed useful. The doctor said you might not be able to take care of yourself. Curly, the doctor said that just one bottle of the essence from the heavens will make you fully recover, right, doctor?"

I only said it might... The doctor gave Wang Ge a resentful look, but under Wang Ge's murderous glare, he chose to submit again and even lied for Wang Ge, "Yes, with the essence from the heavens, I guarantee you'll be as good as new."

Tricking patients is a skill every doctor is good at. The doctor spoke with a serious and matter-of-fact tone, and even White Hair, Little Braid, and the others, who knew the truth, believed him.
