Chapter 179 Get up
If the church's experimenters were still there, the closest test subject to their ideal success would be Adeline.
Not only did they retain their sanity and be able to describe the changes inside their brains, but the changes they described undoubtedly made research easier; at the same time, their skinny limbs and weak bodies also made it easier for them to manage and control them, making them even more useful than mice.
Lin Hun is not an experimenter and cannot find so many benefits from Adeline now. If the researchers find out, her life will probably be over.
Lin Hun's eyes were a little melancholy. He helped Adeline not to make her a better test subject, but Lin Hun really had no means to deal with Adeline. He stepped lightly on the ground with his forefoot and pondered for a moment. Lin Hun decided to ask Adeline what she thought:
"Are you prepared to stay here for the rest of your life?"
Afraid that Adeline didn't understand her situation, Lin Hun told her his inner thoughts:
"I have to remind you that your current condition is obviously different from other patients in the hospital. To be frank, your condition has even surpassed that of ordinary patients. If those people from the church come back, you will probably have to continue to be tortured by the experiments."
In Lin Hun's dream of the hospital, there were no other experimental personnel except the previous hunters, and there were only patients and brains, so Lin Hun couldn't say where the guys from the church had left and ran away to.
Adeline, who was lying on the floor feeling somewhat uncomfortable, carefully twisted her body and rubbed her calves on the floor. However, she did not stand up, but instead made the bottles and jars on the floor clink.
After regaining her sanity, Adeline felt embarrassed to ask others for help casually. In addition, after witnessing the power of Lin Hun, a trace of awe appeared in her heart.
Lin Hunren is quite direct and doesn't care about the opinions of the outside world. However, he still has some emotional intelligence. Seeing Adeline struggling without making any sound, he can see her embarrassment.
Lin Hun took a step forward, bent his knees and half-knelt, reached out and grabbed the back of the chair, and gently pulled it, and effortlessly helped Adeline to straighten up the chair.
Even though she had regained her clarity of mind, Adeline's body was still frail, and even when Lin Hun was holding the chair in her hand, she felt that it was not as heavy as the Black Knight's sword.
Being a good person to the end, Lin Hun drew out his sword while straightening Adeline, and the tip of the sword passed in front of Adeline. The belt was indeed very strong, but how could it cope if I used a sharp weapon to directly scratch the surface?
"clang!" The sword was sheathed, leaving behind a dark arc of light. Only then did Adeline feel the cold light passing in front of her, bringing up a gust of cold wind, causing goose bumps to appear on her already dry skin.
"Ah!" Adeline exclaimed, then she reacted. After losing the restraints of her body, her arms could finally bend and support herself on the handrails. Even though she was still trembling, she straightened her arms little by little and lifted herself up high.
It was just that Adeline had been tied to the chair for so long that she leaned unconsciously even when she stood up. She couldn't help swaying from side to side, and her left foot was entangled with her right foot and she stumbled.
Lin Hun took a step forward and prepared to support him, but Adeline just took a breath and quickly freed up one arm, placing her palm open in front of her chest to stop Lin Hun's action. Then she quickly withdrew her arm and placed it on the armrest to support her shaky body.
Lin Hun was very respectful of personal wishes. Since Adeline took the initiative to stop her, he naturally would not force it.
Humans spend two-thirds of their lives walking upright, starting from childhood, using four legs as children and three legs as old people. Standing is the foundation of being human and is something that accompanies most of a person's life. Lin Hun wants to see if Adeline can break free from the shackles of being a "patient" and embrace her identity as a human being again.
For the first time, Adeline's arms went limp and she fell heavily back onto the chair, "Squeak!" The chair made a scream.
Fortunately, Lin Hun used fire to stabilize the four legs of the chair to avoid a scene of people falling down. However, Adeline's whole body fell straight onto the wooden chair, and her butt would definitely not feel good.
This did not knock Adeline down. Her head squirmed violently for a moment, and Lin Hun heard no other sound except the gurgling sound of the squirming.
The second attempt began soon. Adeline changed her method. She turned sideways, supported herself with one hand on the armrest, and firmly grasped the top of the chair back with the other hand. She pushed with one hand and pulled with the other, exerting force from two directions.
At the same time, Adeline placed her feet diagonally to form an angle with the ground, and pushed the ground with her feet continuously to push herself upwards.
"Creaky!" "Creaky!" "Creaky!" A fragile chair screamed from three places. Seeing that it was about to die, Adeline was frightened and suddenly reduced her strength.
Having killed so many zombies and sick people, Lin Hun believed that he had never heard such a miserable sound. It made his teeth ache and he felt like a cat was scratching his heart.
At the same time, Lin Hun also felt Adeline's momentum weakening, and instantly understood her concerns. The flames on the chair legs quickly penetrated into the chair like steel bars, fixing it firmly.
With the flames as its bones and the firm support from the inside, the chair stopped howling in an instant. Adeline just felt that the chair under her was no longer shaking, and she didn't have time to think about it.
She was too thin and too weak. She tried hard at first, but failed the second time and finally exhausted herself. She had failed once, and Adeline knew that if she failed the second time, relying only on her current state and the nightmare environment, she would probably have to wait a long time before she could stand up again.
In order to stand up, Adeline gave up her last chance, gathered her strength, and exerted force from three directions at the same time, just to stand up.
Lin Hun looked at Adeline's pale instep that was stretched tight and exposed from under her skirt, her pale arms grasping the chair, and her skinny neck raised high with blue veins showing. Adeline had abandoned her aristocratic etiquette in her desperate struggle, and looked more like a female animal making her last stand than a human being.
But humans have a part of the animal, don’t they?
The chair under Adeline creaked. If it weren't for Lin Hun's strength to maintain the chair, it would have collapsed long ago. Every time Adeline kicked her legs, the bottles and jars at her feet would be kicked everywhere. The "ding-dong" sound never stopped. Now there are no more bottles and jars at her feet.
Adeline's buttocks left the back of the chair and her bent knees slowly straightened, but her violently moving head revealed her anxiety and panic. Her arms were shaking like sieves and her tilted calves were trembling but she couldn't straighten them no matter what.
"Alas, failure," Lin Hun sighed in his heart, predicting that Adeline's second ending would be a failure.
