Chapter 13 Moving Towards the Light

The male homeowner felt unwell. From feeling a little sweaty to having to pull over to the side of the road, he experienced throbbing pain in his head, heart, and muscles all over his body within just 10 minutes.

The discomfort spread from him to the other three people in the car besides the boy, and then to other vehicles stuck in traffic at the highway exit, all very quickly! It was as if the wind had brought the illness!

There was indeed a wind, and the bushes on both sides of the road rustled. In the distance, a few fish in the murky river had turned belly up at some point.

The boy, who had regained consciousness, stared wide-eyed with a mixture of wariness and fear upon seeing the situation of the four people in the car!

He glanced back hastily.

His thoughts are the same as Qi An's thoughts at this moment.

The boy thought, "They're sick too! He's following us!"

The little girl inside the car screamed and cried, while the man gripped the steering wheel with trembling hands.

"Ambulance...ambulance!"

But they couldn't connect with the ambulance because the people in the ambulance and police car were also sick.

At the highway intersection, horns blared, screams, cries, and panicked shouts mingled together as a family of four's car was violently struck from behind by a car that suddenly accelerated. The male head of the household slumped over the steering wheel and remained motionless.

The woman was restrained by the seatbelt and was not injured in the impact, but she experienced severe abdominal pain and blood gushed from the corner of her mouth.

She screamed, scooping up the little girl who had stumbled forward with one hand, and reaching for the motionless male head of the household with the other:

"Rongshan! Rongshan! Wake up! Xiaoyi! Call your dad! Call him now!!"

Xiao Yi in the passenger seat was also silent. The little girl's face was covered in blood, whether it was from the nose or something else, and her eyes were tightly closed, and she could barely breathe!

The woman was stunned by the silence in the car when she suddenly noticed the boy still sitting on the pink floral blanket, looking frightened and anxious.

She let out an even more piercing scream, grabbed the boy, and slammed him hard against the car door!

"Infectious disease! You poisonous insect! Poisonous insect! Get out!!"

The car door was flung open, and the woman shoved the boy out forcefully!

The boy's back slammed against the lane divider, and he felt a sharp pain.

His emotions were the same as Qi An's at that moment.

The boy understood the concept of "infectious disease" and genuinely wondered if he had infected them. He was terrified, panicked, and extremely guilty, and this guilt intensified his fear.

Qi An didn't know how Chen Yuezhou could withstand all this when he was so young; fortunately, there was no pollution at that time...

Yes, there was no pollution at that time, and those diseases were clearly caused by the Kuroshio virus!

Was this the initial spread of the Kuroshio virus?

The boy got up, stumbled through the gaps between the vehicles, dodged the frantic people in their pain, and reached the end of the traffic.

The view opened up before him, and he felt as if he could finally catch his breath, but when he looked up, he froze.

A black SUV was parked quietly on a stretch of road about 100 meters away from the congested traffic.

In the golden dawn light that bathed the earth, the person was slowly getting out of the car.

Chen Yuezhou saw him, and he saw Chen Yuezhou. Chen Yuezhou's body stiffened for a second before trembling violently!

The disease itself!

He is the disease itself! He's come after me!!

Chen Yuezhou screamed in terror in his mind, and Qi An's consciousness suddenly broke away from this memory and returned to that crumbling castle.

Qi An was unable to recover for a long time because the emotions of the person who possessed this memory were too intense.

She felt tired.

Her exhaustion severely affected the stability of this spiritual world. Dark clouds began to gather outside again, and the enormous eye began to emerge once more, causing bricks and stones in the throne room to fall.

Qi An immediately focused his mind, dispelling his fatigue and the wind and rain.

She sat on the wide, cool armrest beside the throne, leaning slightly forward to place her palm on the pale boy who, even in his sleep, was frowning and gripping the hilt of his sword.

Qi An's palm seemed to have a halo of light, illuminating the boy's features.

The sleeping person's eyebrows gradually relaxed.

The wind and rain then completely ceased, and the sunlight that arose from his heart shone through the high window, illuminating the throne in the deep darkness.

The boy tightly grasped Qi An's bright and warm hand with his right hand that held the sword, and pressed it against his chest.

One sitting upright, the other sideways; one short, the other tall—two people now occupy this cold, empty seat.

......

No matter how long it takes in the spiritual world, it's only a matter of seconds in reality.

In the operating room, Chen Yuezhou's mental state was completely stabilized, while Xu Le suppressed the contamination levels of Liao Yang, Zhou Yanying, the anesthesiologist brought by Zhou Yanying, the second assistant Su Qingran, and Qin Tianshuo to below 30%!

There was still noise outside, and gunshots continued. Chen Yuezhou's blood pressure could not be lowered any further, so this was the last chance to remove the foreign object!

Liao Yang and Zhou Yanying exchanged a glance, both indicating that they could not back down and were ready to try again!

Everyone took a deep breath. Qin Tianshuo was exhausted, so much so that Xu Le stayed by his side.

He pinched his thigh to shield himself again!

Zhou Yanying once again cut open the scalp and dura mater that had already been stabbed countless times, Su Qingran once again used a suction device to suck out the blood, and Liao Yang's tweezers and hook forceps once again entered the ventricle!

A loud crashing sound echoed from the ceiling, but Liao Yang's hand remained still.

The neuronavigation image showed tweezers as thin as embroidery needles approaching the foreign object, which was about the size of a knuckle!

While resonating with the surgery, Qi An was still able to focus on the progress of the operation; she held her breath!

In just a short while, a thin layer of fiber membrane covered the bomb's smooth surface again.

The pliers touched the bomb and secured it!

The tweezers moved closer to the top of the bomb and severed the connection between that membrane and the actual brain tissue!

Another capillary was ruptured, but the amount of bleeding did not affect the surgical field. Liao Yang's forceps then clamped the bomb itself!

The surface was originally extremely smooth, and metal tools could not clamp it at all, but the layer of fibers actually increased the friction, and the hooks and pliers were also exerting force in the opposite direction.

The bomb was rising outwards, and there seemed to be a faint light flickering at one end.

This thing might have vibration or pressure sensors!

But Zhou Yanying inserted an electrode needle!

An extremely weak current, with an extremely precise touch, struck the circuit connection at the top.

With a few crackling sounds, the light went out, and the bomb fell silent completely.

Zhou Yanying has X-ray vision. She repeatedly examined the shape and structure of the bomb and painstakingly recreated it on paper over a month.

A member of Team 1 with a technical background used her diagram modeling design to deduce the location and weak points of each structural module, and then rehearsed with Zhou Yanying countless times.

That's why she was able to destroy the bomb with a single needle!

These were all preparations Chen Yuezhou made for this moment, and now they were his means of survival.

Zhou Yanying's needle came out first, then Liao Yang's hand moved upwards...

Amidst a violent gunshot that echoed through the corridor, Liao Yang removed the bomb!

Chen Yuezhou's blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, and pollution levels are all relatively stable.

The surgery was successful.
