Sun Sanhai was tall and thin, but his actual abilities were completely opposite to his appearance. He had no ability to defend himself or resist, and was directly pinned down by the mutant, who bit his neck artery.
Although someone quickly discovered and killed the attacker, saving him, he eventually died from excessive blood loss.
After hearing the report, Old Chen remained silent for a long time before finally telling Huang Ying, "Then you'll have to work harder and see if you can save them."
After all, they were his own soldiers. If there was a chance to save them, he didn't want to give up. In an oxygen-deprived apocalypse, recruiting high-quality soldiers was extremely difficult.
Wu Xuan, holding a medical book, followed closely to the side, his expression blank and wooden. His back looked lonely, yet he exuded an invisible determination.
Jiang Xiaoxin looked at him for a while, then suddenly turned around, blinked her eyes, and said, "Brother, he's so pitiful."
Jiang Xiaoshu and Jiang Wan looked at her together and thought that her cute and bright little round eyes looked even more sparkling at this moment. Was the silly girl about to cry?
She wiped her eyes with her little finger and pouted, "All alone, so pitiful!"
As soon as she started crying, Wu Xuan, who hadn't gone far, stiffened, then quickly straightened up, seemingly much more energetic, and silently followed beside Huang Ying.
Huang Ying worked from dawn till dusk, but made no progress. With each research and examination she conducted, her doubts grew. In the end, she could no longer look at this person as a normal person!
"These...these look like plant cells, don't they?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Zhen and Lao Chen, who were waiting for the results, were both stunned. How could there be plant cells in a person's body? Are you kidding me?
Just then, Jiang Wan, with a sullen face and an angry expression, passed by on her way back to her dormitory.
Huang Ying knew she was a botanist, so she quickly called out to her, "Jiang Wan! Come and take a look, are these plant cells?"
Jiang Wan's professional instincts kicked in, and her first thought was to determine which plant was diseased. Without hesitation, she came in and conducted an experimental analysis using professional instruments.
Then, raising an eyebrow in confusion, he asked, "Where did you take the samples? How come there's human tissue in them?"
Upon hearing this, the entire laboratory fell silent, and everyone was enveloped in an eerie stillness.
Where did the samples come from? They came from the mutants who just attacked the camp, of course!
Cheng Zhen helped the Second Battalion resolve the crisis and also brought back two specimens.
Jiang Wan frowned, then turned around to carefully examine the specimen under the microscope. The more she looked, the more alarmed she became. She suggested, "We must separate the plant cells from the human body as soon as possible; they are dividing too fast!"
It will soon devour the entire human body!
Huang Ying had been thinking about this for a while. After listening to her words, she finally clenched her fist and made up her mind: "Then the only way is to remove the infected plant cells from their bodies and stop them from continuing to reproduce and regenerate!"
Chen Liang immediately ordered: "Use tranquilizer darts!"
These people have lost their minds and will not cooperate with the rescue efforts. The only way to prevent the rescuers from being in danger is to use tranquilizer darts to subdue them.
The work of removing rotten flesh was cruel and disgusting, so it was left to the other brothers in the camp.
Huang Ying returned to the lab to study how to treat the patient.
Jiang Wan was also there, closely observing the plant cells for any special characteristics in order to identify what kind of plant they had planted.
Jiang Xiaoxin was also there, looking a little worried: "Brother, do you think Dr. Huang and Mom can cure everyone?"
Jiang Xiaoshu used his superpower to protect his sister, because if he relaxed even slightly, the abnormal sound waves that could penetrate her eardrums would disturb her and cause her great pain. So, he was exhausted after a whole day.
He simply shook his head and remained silent.
Huang Ying heard her words, frowned helplessly, and then sighed weakly:
"This is the first time I've seen a case like this... a human infected with a plant virus, and even growing plant cells as a result... If it were just superficial symptoms, perhaps I could give it a try, but..."
"Are they poisoned?"
Suddenly, Wu Xuan asked a question. He had been sitting silently in the corner, looking through medical books and comparing them with the experimental results Huang Ying had mentioned. He would ask her questions when he didn't understand something. He did have a talent for traditional Chinese medicine, and he could remember a lot of pharmacological knowledge after hearing it only once.
Because he is too young to read, he has recently been cramming a lot of words with Sun Sanhai.
And it was at this moment that he was the first to firmly believe that these people were just poisoned!
But what kind of poison could make them act like mutants, completely irrational, and even grow plant cells on their bodies?
Everyone fell silent for a moment. Jiang Wan stared at the microscope, her eyes were getting blurry, but she still couldn't see any results.
On the sofa nearby, Jiang Xiaoxin watched as Wu Xuan was able to help the adults. She pouted, feeling a little unwilling, and tugged at her brother's arm, saying, "Brother, let's go back?"
Jiang Wan didn't suspect anything. As soon as she heard that she wanted to go back, she immediately opened the door to her room and took out some food from the tree hole space. It was pasta and baked rice that she had bought at a high-end restaurant before the apocalypse. It was still steaming hot. She didn't have time to cook today, so she could give them this to eat.
"Xinxin and Xiaoshu, if you're sleepy later, go wash up and go to bed. Mom will come back to play with you when I'm done with my work."
Jiang Xiaoshu hesitated for a moment, but Jiang Xiaoxin nodded readily, even seeming impatient.
Once Mom leaves, why bother eating? She grabbed her brother and told him her little secret.
Meanwhile, in the laboratory, a doctor, a botany PhD, and a half-baked practitioner with a talent for traditional Chinese medicine were busy until nightfall, but still hadn't made any progress.
Jiang Wan shook her head helplessly: "This mutant cell is too cunning. I really can't figure out what it is!"
Huang Ying shook her head and sighed, "If it really is poison... that's not my forte, and there's nothing I can do about it."
Instead, Wu Xuan, whom they had never expected, suddenly stood up and handed them a piece of paper with his clumsy handwriting on it: "These are the herbs I found that can detoxify."
Another detoxifying herb?
Jiang Wan's lips twitched: "It's freezing cold now, these things are really hard to find."
Speaking of this, she couldn't help but recall something. Just then, Cheng Zhen came over to check on the progress and immediately said in an annoyed tone, "Did you send Li Siming out to weed in the fields?"
Cheng Zhen keenly sensed that something was wrong with her mood, and then carefully asked, "You asked him to protect and dig up wild green plants for transplantation, what's wrong?"
Jiang Wan was so angry she didn't want to speak. Wu Xuan quietly added, "He just pulled the weeds out directly, and a lot of them were damaged."
Suddenly, Jiang Xiaoxin's sweet voice chimed in: "Don't insult grass! Grass is a green plant too. In this oxygen-deficient apocalypse, it's just as precious!"
Wu Xuan understood and nodded silently as he looked at her.
Jiang Wan was taken aback when she saw the twins suddenly appear: "It's already past midnight, why aren't you asleep yet?"
"Mom! I have good news to tell you!"
