Chapter 168 Life Hangs by a Thread, Between Life and Death

"Captain, look!" The team member pointed at Ning Yu's body, his voice trembling slightly with excitement.

Mu Xue turned around abruptly and saw that Ning Yu, who had been lifeless, had his fingers twitch slightly.

"Captain Ning! Captain Ning! Can you hear me?" Mu Xue rushed to Ning Yu's side, tightly grasped his hand, and called out anxiously.

However, Ning Yu did not react. His eyes were tightly closed, his breathing was so weak that it was almost imperceptible, his face was as pale as paper, and his life force was slowly draining away from him.

"Quickly check if there's any medicine left in the warehouse that can save Captain Ning!" Mu Xue ordered anxiously while carefully examining Ning Yu's body.

The team members rushed to the warehouse, but a moment later they returned dejected.

"Captain, most of the medical supplies in the warehouse were damaged by the energy impact earlier. What's left are just some common external injury medications. We haven't found any special medicine to save Captain Ning..."

"How could this happen..." Mu Xue's voice trembled, and the light of hope in her eyes dimmed little by little. She could feel that Ning Yu's life was flickering like a candle in the wind, and could be extinguished at any moment.

"We must find a cure! Search again carefully, don't give up even if there's only a sliver of hope!" Mu Xue gritted her teeth, her tone firm and unwavering.

The team members rushed into the warehouse again, while Mu Xue stayed by Ning Yu's side, slowly channeling her supernatural energy into his body in an attempt to maintain his last shred of life.

"Ning Yu, hang in there, you'll be alright..." Mu Xue's voice choked with sobs, and tears silently streamed down her face.

Inside the warehouse, the team members were still searching through the ruins when suddenly one of them exclaimed, "Found it! There's a sealed box of first-aid supplies here!"

"Bring it here quickly!" Hearing her teammates' shouts, a glimmer of hope rekindled in Mu Xue's heart. Her hands trembled as she took the metal box handed to her by her teammates, her fingers turning slightly white from the force.

The box was heavy, with a blurry red cross printed on it, and the words "Emergency Medical Supplies" were vaguely discernible. Mu Xue took a deep breath and opened the box.

The box contained various medicines and medical equipment, most of which were expired and had yellowed labels, but fortunately, one small metal container was still intact.

"What is this?" Mu Xue picked up the container and turned to ask the team members beside her.

"Captain, we're not sure either. The label on the container is damaged, and we can't read the details, but..." The team member paused, his tone hesitant, "Judging from its appearance and weight, it's likely some kind of highly concentrated gene repair agent, but..."

"But what? Tell me quickly!" Mu Xue's heart was in her throat.

“However, this repair agent is usually used to treat severe genetic damage, and the dosage and method of use are very strict. If you are not careful, it can cause irreversible side effects…” The team member’s voice grew softer and softer, and he dared not look into Mu Xue’s eyes.

Mu Xue understood his meaning, of course. Ning Yu's condition was unclear, and rashly using this unknown drug was tantamount to gambling. If they won, Ning Yu might have a sliver of hope, but if they lost...

She looked down at Ning Yu, who was barely breathing in her arms. His pale face was devoid of color, his lips were cracked, and his brows were furrowed, as if he were enduring immense pain.

"Captain, we can't hesitate any longer. If this continues, Captain Ning..."

“I know!” Mu Xue interrupted her teammate, her tone firm. “I can’t just stand by and watch him die! Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, I have to try!”

She opened the metal container, and a faint scent of mint wafted out. Inside, there was a clear liquid that reflected a soft glow in the dim light.

“Captain, let me do it.” A medic stepped forward. “I have some knowledge of gene therapy drugs. Let me try to analyze its components and how to use it.”

"Okay, I'm counting on you!" Mu Xue handed him the container, her eyes filled with expectation and anxiety.

The medic took the container and carefully drew the liquid into a syringe, beginning the analysis. Time ticked by, each second feeling like torture for Mu Xue. She continuously channeled her supernatural energy into Ning Yu's body, attempting to maintain his vital signs.

However, she herself was also injured, and the prolonged use of her powers had left her extremely weak. Her face was pale, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her body began to tremble slightly.

"Captain, how are you?" A teammate noticed her unusual behavior and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me, just focus..." Before Mu Xue could finish speaking, everything went black, and her body fell backward limply.

"team leader!"

"Quick, go get the first-aid kit!"

"Damn it, another explosion at the warehouse! We're trapped!"

Amidst the chaos, the medic's voice rang out clearly: "Found it! This gene repair agent can be used to treat Captain Ning's current condition, but..."

"But what? Tell me!"

"But, it is necessary to..."

“However, it needs to be injected directly near the recipient’s heart, and…” the medic’s voice trembled slightly, “and a large amount of supernatural energy is needed to stabilize the drug’s effects, otherwise…”

"What else would happen?" Mu Xue struggled to get up from the ground, grabbed the medic's shoulder, and asked anxiously.

“Otherwise, the repair process will get out of control and cause genetic collapse…” The medic didn’t dare to look her in the eye, and his voice lowered.
