Chapter 1177: Section 721: The Neighbor’s Guest (3)_3

Upon hearing Pagy say this, Malin chuckled—since when did I become so terrifyingly delightful to others, isn’t that surprising?

·Ah, Master Malin, my little puppies have found the survivors.

Once Ails said this, Malin immediately asked him to lead the way. The group arrived at the end of the corridor—or what seemed like the end, as a collapse had severed the path. At the corridor’s end, several skeleton hunters stood outside a small room, from which a young girl’s desperate scream echoed.

·Her constitution isn’t bad; she’s the first to awaken.

Pagy remarked with admiration.

·Indeed, so who’s going to explain, you or me?

Ails inquired.

Just then, Malin heard footsteps, and a girl peeked her head out from the room: "I heard your psychic whisper! Who are you! Why let these monsters attack and kidnap us here! What are you... people?"

She spoke all this in one breath and finally saw in front of her two undead—completely oblivious to Malin and the other living behind them.

Malin was about to step forward when he saw the young girl scream and collapse at the door.

·If I could still make expressions, I’d be completely dumbfounded right now. I mean, what a ghostly thing to witness, though I am a ghost...

Pagy said with one hand on his hip and the other on his forehead.

·Don’t mention it, this is the first time I’ve seen such an extraordinary human girl.

The two then turned to Malin: "What are you planning to do now?"

"What else can we do? Take them back, perform surgery, and remove the worms from their bodies," Malin said as he opened a transmission channel: "Everyone, come to help."

......

As Bei Luo came out of the transmission channel, he began to remove his armor while undergoing purification spray from the surgical assistant, for he was Thainan’s expert on parasitism.

This time, Master Malin found four survivors below, and with the snow leopards finding the gnome who ran eighty kilometers straight out, recovering five survivors in total was beyond Bei Luo’s expectation.

So upon hearing that those four survivors were parasitized by the different kind, Bei Luo rushed back to witness the spectacle first-hand.

"Teacher, Prince Malin has already started teaching the divine healer Mr. Zhang of New Anhui from the North to perform surgery on the second survivor," Bei Luo’s apprentice approached and said.

"Seems I made it in time." Bei Luo naturally knew these surgeries couldn’t be delayed; in cases of different kind parasitism, every minute counted since it could lead to the parasitic creature maturing and eventually bursting out of the body, so not waiting was ultimately the right call.

He should have joined Master Malin down there.

Walking through the corridor, Bei Luo saw Jin Weili. This kid isn’t particularly skilled, but his courage surpassed that of his peers, daring to descend. Whether he was just brave or reckless was anyone’s guess, but now the kid was receiving cupping therapy, seemingly suffering a sprained back from the scans?

No worries then, it’s good enough that the kid can come out in one piece.

As he passed by, Bei Luo patted the kid’s back, immediately hearing his cry of agony.

"Full of energy, he won’t die." Bei Luo smiled as he headed toward the operating room, and the guards at the door opened it for him.

Entering the disinfection room, he underwent a secondary sanitization, and as he pushed open the inner chamber’s door, he heard a crisp mechanical clanking sound from a blow.

"Mr. Zhang, remember, if you had sliced along your initial line, our fourth lucky person would have been doomed."

Bei Luo was taken aback—was this the fourth one?

He looked to his side and realized his apprentice hadn’t entered with him.

Hmm... Right, it couldn’t be the kid’s mistake; it must’ve been that Master Malin had handled the first three, allowing him the luxury of teaching now.

Thinking of this, Bei Luo eagerly approached the operating table.

There, he saw the opened chest cavity, the tongue-lolling girl, and beneath the fat layer, the parasitic creature... Oh my, it was already moving.
