Chapter 438: Underground Passage
The first to leave the operating room were Xu Sa and Liu Rui. They seemed to have been poisoned to varying degrees. Their bodies were out of control and they had no consciousness. The difference was that Xu Sa was awake while Liu Rui was unconscious.
Lu Xiao had already learned the details from the team members who followed him, and was now asking the doctor for a solution.
"We don't know what toxin caused it, and we can't tell whether it's temporary or permanent. Even if you kill me, I can't give you a definite answer."
“What if we know what the toxin is?”
"That depends on whether there is an antidote that is well-preserved, not expired, and happens to be useful."
"..." The probability of meeting these conditions is basically zero, "What about studying it immediately?"
"Okay, we need virology experts, medical experts, etc. As for when the results will be out..." The doctor shook his head again. Seeing Lu Xiao's gloomy face, he immediately eased up and said, "We don't need to think so far ahead now. I will record their conditions first and compare them later. Maybe it can be metabolized?"
Lu Xiao didn't make things difficult for the doctor anymore and had the two people pushed to the ward.
"Wait a minute." Xu Sa's mental state had improved a lot. He looked around and asked, "Uncle Lu, where are Li Yan and Antonio?"
"Li Yan and Lin Mo are in the surgery room watching over the two healers, and Antonio is watching Lu Xi's upgrade. You can tell me if you need anything," said Lu Xiao.
"It's okay. I'll wait here for them to come back." There are only five psychics in the entire team here, and one of them is their base commander. They have to be careful at this time.
"you……"
"My abilities have recovered a little bit."
Lu Xiao sighed and said, "I will call the experts here for a consultation, don't think too much about it."
Compared to these two, the other three were much slower. Ning Yuan was not pushed out of the operating room until Lu Xi successfully upgraded and returned.
Lu Xiao's heart finally settled when he saw Lu Xi, who was full of energy. Antonio asked someone to send Xu Sa and Liu Rui to rest, and he went forward to ask the doctor about Ning Yuan's condition.
The doctor took off his mask and looked at him with pity. "The kidney is shattered, the bladder is punctured by broken bones, the intestines are damaged in many places, and the hip bone is squeezed and deformed."
Antonio's heart sank with every word the doctor said. He waited for him to pause before asking, "Will he die?"
"Most of the injuries have been repaired by your healing psychics. The most serious problem now is his kidney. He may need a kidney transplant as soon as possible. Otherwise, he only has half a kidney left and may be in danger at any time."
Antonio took a deep breath, nodded and sat on a stool.
"I'll try to find someone to try," Lu Xiao frowned.
"Thank you," Antonio said.
Lu Weiyi and Gu Qingji left the operating room the next day. Lu Xiao brought Luo Feifei over. With the help of three treatment systems, the bodies of the two have recovered to their original state, with only some tiny nerves and blood vessels that need to be slowly repaired by the treatment system.
Dean was very experienced in this. After replenishing his supernatural powers, he completed the task quickly in one go. When the two woke up from their sleep, they had fully recovered.
Several people had lost too much blood, and the whole ward was filled with the smell of donkey-hide gelatin. Lu Weiyi took a cup and sipped it slowly, listening to Antonio whispering to him about the conditions of several people.
"Xu Sa and Liu Rui can't move their bodies. Qingji lost too much blood. He will be fine after a few days of rest to replenish his blood. Ning Yuan's condition is more serious."
"Xu Yi and Dean have been trying to find a way to help him reshape his kidneys these past two days. Initial results have been achieved, but the process is a bit slow. The doctor wants a kidney transplant, but it's not easy to find a matching test, so the implementation is not going smoothly."
"We can always get the crystal core by offering a bounty, and the surgery is easy to do. The problem is that there are some sequelae after the surgery. It is not clear whether the treatment system can alleviate it. If it doesn't work and the medical conditions are not met, then we will be on the road to despair." Lu Weiyi thought quickly in his mind and asked casually, "Have you contacted the base?"
"I've reported that he's safe. Zhuang wants you to get good treatment."
Lu Weiyi didn't say anything, but looked at Ning Yuan who was a little further away. Dean and Xu Yi were sitting on either side of his bed, as if they were guarding him, but in fact their supernatural powers had already quietly penetrated into their bodies.
After a while, both of them had sweat all over their heads, and Lu Xi went over and stuffed a handful of crystal cores into their heads.
During the lunch break, Lu Weiyi asked the two, "How confident are you?"
"It's better, Xu. He has sufficient superpowers to do a lot. I can't do that because my internal organs are too delicate." Dean looked frustrated.
"Can Luo Feifei help?" She is the only one with superpowers at the same level as Xu Yi.
Xu Yi shook her head. “She can do the same things as Class B and Class C. Now she is still doing the same things as Class C, just faster and in larger quantities. I dare not let her participate in such delicate matters.”
At this time, Xu Yi once again thanked himself for studying hard. Before leaving, he was not much different from Luo Feifei, but now their abilities are so different.
"Or..." Dean looked at Lu Weiyi, "I'll upgrade."
"After the upgrade, the superpowers can last longer and the speed will be faster."
"Are you about to level up?" Xu Yi was surprised.
"I feel it's okay. It's okay if it's delayed for a while." Dean didn't look nervous at all. He was in a completely opposite state to Xu Yi at the beginning.
Both of them looked at Lu Weiyi. Lu Weiyi pondered for a while and shook his head slowly, "It's better to upgrade after the reshaping is completed."
"When you upgraded for the first time, we were all injected with drugs. At that time, there was a problem with my crystal core. After the energy impact during the upgrade, everyone's drug properties disappeared and my crystal core recovered a lot. I suspected at the time that the energy had the effect of purifying and repairing, but the effect should be limited."
"Later, when Xu Yi was promoted, an experiment was arranged on Qingji, whose neurological state was unclear at the time, and he recovered afterwards".
Lu Weiyi looked at the other people sleeping in the room and said, "So, I want to take advantage of your upgrade to see if I can purify the toxins in both of their bodies and complete the kidney remodeling first. If there are any problems, then maybe that will be an opportunity."
Neither Xu Yi nor Dean spoke. After a moment, Xu Yi nodded first and said, "Then I'll work harder. Don't forget to double my salary."
Lu Weiyi made an OK gesture and lay back on the bed.
On the second day after Lu Weiyi recovered, Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang came to visit him separately and inquired about the situation.
Lu Weiyi did not hide it and told the two of them what had happened.
"So powerful? That's indeed dangerous, but why are you recruiting earth-type mutants?" Zheng Yi suddenly asked after hearing this.
"Huh?" Lu Weiyi was puzzled.
Zheng Yi and Zhao Qiang looked at each other, and Zhao Qiang explained, "Last night, your base suddenly sent out a recruitment notice to all bases, hiring earth-type mutants. A-level purifiers can purify ten crystal cores per day, and B-level purifiers can purify five crystal cores per day. You... didn't know?"
Lu Weiyi thought about it and immediately realized that Zhuang Mingxu should be gathering earth-type mutants to reclaim the sea as soon as possible.
After the spring, the number of mutated sea creatures increased, so they discussed this matter. However, their base had limited earth-type mutants, and there were problems such as the required soil and rocks, so the implementation was very slow.
It seems that Zhuang Mingxu is planning to recruit people nationwide.
"I'm planning to build some defensive fortifications for the base." Lu Weiyi didn't say much, and looked at the two people, "Are you... interested?"
"Haha, isn't it that our base is close and it is more convenient to go back and forth?" What's more important is that the crystal cores are very tempting. Not to mention that the purified crystal cores are limited now, even the exchange rate would not allow any one person to absorb them at the limit every day.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately became the hottest topic in the Kyoto base. Many people with special abilities had come to them last night. Zhao Qiang and Zheng Yi decided that instead of letting them be hired and never come back, it would be better to contact the team directly, especially their own people.
"Of course, it's not a big deal. You can just count the number of people and tell Zhuang Mingxu directly. However, Brother Zheng and Brother Zhao have to select the servants for me in advance, and don't force those who are sneaky in."
"Don't worry, there's no way my brother would do something like that."
“I’ve picked them all for you.”
Lu Weiyi didn't look very well, so the two of them sat for a while, then had some supplements delivered to them and left.
Only then did he have time to ask Antonio what notices the base had received.
"Two, the village has opened up the number of purification crystal cores that can be exchanged at each base, and the exchange rate of four to one is unlimited."
"The second one is to recruit earth-type mutants, and we want those of high levels. We will pay them on a daily basis. For bases that are far away and have more than five A-level ones, we can provide airplane pick-up."
Antonio felt that it was a bit wasteful when he said this, and he clicked his tongue twice. However, when he thought of the mutant creatures that were like prehistoric beasts, he felt that it would be a guarantee for their base if they could deal with them as soon as possible.
Lu Xiao also mentioned this matter to Lu Weiyi that night. Of course, he also intended to recommend some of the earth-type mutants he had. In addition to that, he also said another thing.
"Build an underground passage?"
"Yes, there are more and more mutated animals outside now, and the danger posed by zombies is almost equal to that posed by zombies. Looking at this trend, it will probably become very difficult to go to other bases in the future."
"Moreover, the research institute here recently discovered that the deeper underground a creature is, the lower the probability of its mutation..."
Lu Weiyi suddenly remembered where Qin Xing and the others were.
"It was Qin Xing and the others. I practiced with them later and agreed to send a team of experts over, including personnel from the fields of geology, meteorology, physics, chemistry and reproduction, to investigate. We concluded that the specific cause has not been discovered yet. The only thing that is certain is that zombie energy has appeared in many places in our lives, in food, land and even air."
"Doesn't that mean that ordinary people also have it in their bodies?"
"That's the theory, but this insignificant energy has undergone some changes in the human body. It is no longer pure zombie energy. It has become more suitable for ordinary people. It will not cause them to mutate, and it will even enhance their physical fitness."
"Have you not noticed that the health of ordinary people around you has improved?"
