Chapter 170: Chapter 170: Radioactive Materials
Jin Lingsu was decisive in his actions, and before long, he returned with several sealed syringes, each containing a sample.
"I've taken samples from those without infection and those with differently colored facial pockmarks."
Chen Yu was very satisfied and nodded in approval.
This disease was highly contagious and could mutate during the process of infection.
Now that Jin Lingsu had brought back enough samples, Chen Yu could systematically study them and incidentally cure all the people in the village.
As Katherine's blood was drawn out in large amounts, her complexion improved a great deal, and the color of the pockmarks on her face gradually faded.
About half an hour later, Ka Jinwen rushed into the house with a large bag in a hurry.
"Mr. Chen, I've found everything, what should we do next?"
Chen Yu looked up at the transparent bag in Ka Jinwen's hands.
It contained various deep-sea fish that had just been fished out of the ice holes.
"Light a big fire to dry the skins and bones of these fish and then grind them into powder!"
Ka Jinwen immediately went out with the bag to slaughter the fish.
Chen Yu then placed the blood drawn from Katherine alongside the other samples.
However, as he prepared to study them, he suddenly encountered a difficulty.
There were no relevant instruments in this place, and the extremely cold weather made it impossible to differentiate the samples, even using primitive methods.
[System prompt: The Host can spend five hundred thousand points, and the rest will be handled by the system.]
The look of concern on Chen Yu's face instantly relaxed, but as he thought about spending five hundred thousand points, he felt somewhat displeased.
Given the current situation, he had no other option but to confirm the expenditure.
[Analysis in progress, Host's current points remaining: two million six hundred seventy-six thousand six hundred.]
[This is a fungal mutation, having undergone six mutations, its self-division has entered the degeneration period.]
Shortly after, a great number of treatment plans appeared in Chen Yu's mind, designed to eradicate the fungi from each subsequent mutation.
It wasn't long before Ka Jinwen had dried the fish skin and bones, ground them to powder, and brought them in, contained in separate containers.
Without hesitation, Chen Yu immediately started to concoct the medicine.
In truth, this condition could be cured through a normal eczema treatment plan, but it would take too much time.
Moreover, in this frozen and snowy environment, the needed medicinal herbs for treatment could not be found, so they had to rely on substances obtained from local organisms.
After administering medicine to Katherine, Chen Yu also successively produced the corresponding antidotes for other mutations and had Jin Lingsu and Ka Jinwen distribute them to the patients in the village.
As for those who had not fallen ill, Chen Yu had also produced the appropriate medication.
In fact, the system had already analyzed that these people's bodies were not free of mutations; the fungi were simply in their final degenerative phase, with their eventual spores lying dormant within the human body.
As soon as these people left this environment, they would immediately fall ill.
By three in the afternoon, all those who had taken the herbal medicine saw their pockmarks completely disappear, and Katherine woke up.
"Mr. Chen, no matter what, we have to go. Angluna will close all entrances after seven o'clock tonight, and if we miss the time to meet up with the others, the entire plan might fall through," said Ka Jinwen, his face full of worry while his eyes occasionally glanced at Katherine on the bed.
He knew that this time, it might not be possible to take his sister with him.
Chen Yu, however, was propping up his chin, deep in thought.
"Our ultimate goal is to capture the person, so it seems unimportant when we go in."
Ka Jinwen, upon hearing this, couldn't help but be stunned.
This is an order from a world-level organization. If they don't reach their destination within the set time, any adverse consequences of the mission would be their responsibility.
Chen Yu apparently didn't want to worry about that much; after all, he could not just focus on the mission and ignore whether his team members lived or died.
Just then, a commotion suddenly erupted from outside the door.
Jin Lingsu hurried in, a burn-like wound on her arm.
"There's a group of fully armed people outside, rushing this way at full speed. They seem to be from Angluna."
Ka Jinwen's pupils dilated instantly, "Could they have discovered our whereabouts?"
Jin Lingsu shook her head, "Unlikely! Among their convoy, there's a vehicle with some civilians."
As she spoke, a dozen trucks along with armored vehicles entered the village together.
These people were savages, knocking on doors house by house as soon as they arrived, hauling villagers onto the trucks.
Chen Yu frowned as well, standing at the door to look outside.
Over seventy percent of the villagers had just been treated for their illnesses and were currently in a weakened state, without any strength to resist.
"I've got a plan!"
Chen Yu suddenly blurted out and ran outside.
"Wait a second, these people had contagious diseases and were just treated. The viruses have not been completely cleared from their bodies, and if you get too close to them like this, you might get infected too."
This shout startled everyone.
A bearded man jumped down from the armored vehicle and walked straight up to Chen Yu.
"What do you mean by that?"
Chen Yu spread his palms open, bringing the blood sample he had collected earlier to the bearded man.
"This contains blood samples I previously extracted from them. If you don't believe me, you can have someone check it."
The bearded man hesitated, glancing instinctively at the sickly villagers.
"Are you saying you're the one who cured them?"
Chen Yu nodded, "Exactly! Plus, I see some of your people behind you appear to have contracted the same disease. If I'm not mistaken, many of your men have developed odd little nodules."
The bearded man's eyes widened; he had come out to capture people because many in the camp had caught a strange disease that had stopped most of the miners from working.
Because of this, he had already consulted quite a few doctors.
But what he hadn't expected was that the doctors had an inexplicable fear of the disease and wanted to flee the camp as soon as they arrived.
The bearded man suddenly became agitated, rushing to a nearby vehicle to pull one of his subordinates down, and rolled up his sleeve.
This person's arm was covered in yellow pustules, some of which had burst, emitting a foul stench.
[System prompt: These are malignant mutations formed by fungal spores stimulated by radioactive materials, difficult to treat unless the radioactive substance can be removed.]
Chen Yu was taken aback. Many of the pieces of knowledge in his mind had already reached the limits of human understanding, including knowledge about radioactive substances.
To remove such substances was practically harder than ascending to heaven.
