Chapter 582: Chapter 575: Must Bear Its Weight

The helicopter touched down, and Gao Yuan was carried off on a stretcher.

They had to be especially careful, exceptionally stable, for Gao Yuan was especially fragile now, such that even too great a shock could not be borne.

In the battlefield, it didn’t matter whether one was dragged haphazardly, but in the hospital, they had to be incredibly cautious. Otherwise, if Gao Yuan died from the bumps in the hospital—no, that would not be pleasant to contemplate.

"Hiss..."

Following the prolonged inhalation was a long silence. Andy Ho, who was performing an MRI on Gao Yuan, didn’t know what to do.

"The situation is very bad, isn’t it?"

Xinghe whispered, and Andy Ho replied helplessly, "Bad, very bad. To be honest, I don’t know what to do. If you have any method, you’d better use it quickly because I think the fact that his heart is still beating is a miracle."

Xinghe nodded, then looked at Andy Ho and said, "Inject him with the blood plasma of an Armored Beast."

Andy Ho couldn’t believe his ears, his expression one of astonishment, "Have you lost your mind? To save his life, you’d turn him into a zombie?"

Xinghe shook his head, "No, he won’t become a zombie."

Andy Ho frowned and said, "From a doctor’s perspective, I want to know what’s the point of injecting Armored Beast blood plasma? We know the zombie virus changes the human body and affects the brain, and that the blood contains a large amount of the virus. The blood plasma of any species cannot just be injected randomly. I want to know how the decayed, deadly virus-laden blood plasma of an alien monster can be used in treatment?"

Xinghe looked at Andy Ho and explained, "Armored Beasts are very large creatures. On their native planet, Armored Beasts take a very long time to grow to adulthood, but here, the Serpent People can create a batch of fully grown Armored Beasts in a very short time. Why? Because they have a very sophisticated form of gene modification. However, to perform this genetic editing on a specific species would obviously be very time-consuming, but what we’re seeing now is that the Serpent People can produce and release any kind of monster quickly, which means they have mature, broad-spectrum genetic modification methods. I’d like to call it a Genetic Catalyst, and this catalyst is abundantly present in the bodies of every genetically modified creature."

Andy Ho thought for a moment then nodded, "I understand, but will this really work? It seems very dangerous; must we do this?"

Xinghe replied indifferently, "The Biological Robots in Gao Yuan’s body are sustaining his life, but their efficacy is limited, and the numbers insufficient. My idea is to now inject Gao Yuan with the monster’s blood plasma, which will allow his bodily functions to recover extremely quickly."

Andy Ho was stunned and said, "Is that so? Wait, genetic editing... It’s not that simple. An animal with edited genes does not necessarily have blood that can change other genes, right?"

Xinghe was silent for a moment, then spoke softly, "Just do it. Do as I say."

Andy Ho kept shaking his head, "No, what you’re saying makes some sense, but it’s essentially an evolved version of ’you are what you eat,’ which isn’t realistic. Common sense tells me that injecting Gao Yuan with the blood of a monster, apart from turning him into a zombie, won’t have any other effect!"

Xinghe bit her lip gently, then said softly, "Your common sense is incorrect. Don’t argue with me now, just do as I say, unless you have another way to save him."

Andy Ho was speechless, for in his view Gao Yuan was already a dead man; he had no way to save Gao Yuan.

Andy Ho sighed and nodded, "Okay, but does it have to be blood? The blood of the Armored Beast has coagulated; the body has already started to rot, we don’t have anything that can really be called blood."

"It doesn’t matter. Just extract the virus-containing liquid from inside the Armored Beast. The blood of the Armored Beast is best, uh, if not, then the blood of any other monster would also be fine."

"I hope they haven’t gone through a complete decontamination yet... Are you sure this is really effective?"

Xinghe looked at Andy Ho and said, "Is this the time for you to satisfy your curiosity?"

Andy Ho still felt it was unreliable, but now, he could only do as Xinghe said.

Gao Yuan was not intubated, had no ventilator, no blood pressure monitor, no monitoring equipment at all, as it was all meaningless.

More than an hour had passed, and Andy Ho had not returned yet, but Xinghe was not in a hurry, as Gao Yuan’s treatment was not something that could be resolved in a short time. He would either die after a long agony, or survive after a long agony—in any case, the prolonged suffering was inevitable.

To bear the crown, one must endure the weight.

There is a price to becoming a superhuman.

When Andy Ho returned with a syringe filled with a yellow-greenish liquid, he looked extremely cautious, as even though the liquid in this syringe wouldn’t easily spread in the air if it were to be broken, it would certainly be lethal upon contact.

Injecting such a substance into a normal person was certainly fatal; the only question was what form they would take before dying.

Andy Ho carefully attached a needle to the syringe; disinfecting was meaningless because what he was about to inject into Gao Yuan was the most toxic.

"I’m going to inject now..."

Xinghe made a gesture, signaling Andy Ho to hurry, and then she whispered, "What comes next is ensuring his nutrition; otherwise, he’ll end up digesting himself."

Andy Ho understood what Xinghe meant, but just as he was about to inject, the door was knocked on, and in walked Ram with a bald man whose head was still somewhat swollen and red.

Andy Ho paused briefly, and Ram took a deep breath, "Did we make it in time? How is Gao Yuan now?"

As the injection was about to be administered, it was unclear how Gao Yuan would react, which was why Andy Ho looked towards Xinghe. Xinghe waved her hand and said, "Inject it, then ensure his nutrition. The rest is up to him."

Ram looked at Xinghe, then at Andy Ho. Gritting his teeth, Andy Ho inserted the needle into a wound on Gao Yuan’s body and said as he injected, "I’ve never administered such bizarre treatment, if you can even call it treatment."

Ram clearly did not understand the situation, but the bald man beside him was in a daze, muttering, "So he really is still alive, the Pyro-thief... He really is still alive."

Xinghe looked at the bald man. Ram whispered, "This is Murphy. After seeing Nemesis, he will decide whether to join our ranks. Uh, he also wants to see Revelation, as well as proof that we have thoroughly mastered the use of Revelation."

Xinghe pursed her lips, and Ram quickly said, "It’s important because Murphy knows a great, great deal about the inner workings of the Sanitation Worker. Please."

Murphy stared at Gao Yuan, murmuring to himself, "Actually, I already believe now; the existence of the Pyro-thief proves everything. I knew he was not... normal. I just knew it!"
