Chapter 182 A "Guest" from Another Realm
In Rong Yi's eyes, the mother insect was just a larger insect with thicker skin, and its attack power was not as strong as the other ferocious insects.
This female insect had a lot of strengths that she couldn't use, and her head was cut off in frustration.
After dealing with the most troublesome mother insect, players began to emerge from the surrounding area. The mother insect's mental power had no effect on Rong Yi, but it was an invisible weapon of mass destruction for the other players, and they had no way to resist it.
The mission ended in the operatives' astonishment. The anticipated fierce battle, the barrage of bullets from the swarm of insects, and the massive weapons support never materialized.
In just a few hours, they were all safely back on the transport plane.
As for the five players who were rescued earlier, Rong Yi didn't inquire about them. They were lucky to have survived, and whether they could survive afterward was none of her business.
Capital city.
The five players, covered in blood, were transported to a special hospital in the capital. Thanks to their strong physical abilities, they did not die.
When the doctor saw the patient, he cut open his clothes and found gruesome wounds on his chest and abdomen.
"My God, he's basically lost all his internal organs. How did he survive for several hours to get here?"
The mother insect's body was so enormous that its claws almost pierced the player's waist, leaving the doctor with nothing but a large hole and no other organs visible.
The team member who escorted the player shook his head. "We didn't dare touch him, so we didn't take any precautions. We thought we would bring back a few corpses... but we didn't expect there would still be one alive."
At the time, no one thought they would survive.
The doctor took a deep breath. "Never mind, notify the higher-ups that we need an organ transplant."
In this situation, no amount of mending or patching will help.
"Also, administer a blood transfusion immediately!"
The doctor next to him immediately did as instructed. Less than two minutes after the blood transfusion began, the player lying on the ground groaned in pain, startling the medical staff present.
"She's awake! She's awake!"
Hu Ce opened his eyes groggily, first feeling a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen, then unable to breathe with his mouth open, because his lungs were gone.
Without being able to see his surroundings clearly, he had only one thought in his mind: to get out the treatment, or he would really die!
A group of medical staff surrounded him and saw a long vial of medicine suddenly appear in his hand, which he trembled as he tried to inject it into himself.
The doctor standing next to him snatched the medicine and inserted the needle into Hu Ce's body.
But after he finished the first injection, another one appeared in Hu Ce's hand.
At this point, everyone hesitated, "He's already had one wound treated; what if he thinks his things have been stolen?"
"But since he is conscious, he might be able to feel that he has been pricked by needles."
"No, he's so badly injured, is one shot really enough?"
After the needle was inserted, no one saw any change; it was still the same big hole.
Thinking that the life-saving device was not poison, Hu Ce took out one, and the doctor inserted it into his wound. After three injections, the granulation tissue at the edge of the punctured wound could be clearly seen wriggling and closing.
"It's working! Keep going!"
This confirms that the person was indeed trying to save themselves.
After using a total of twenty doses of treatment, Hu Ce's consciousness became clearer and clearer, and he could feel that there were people all around him, but he couldn't care less about that now.
The medical staff watched as this medical miracle unfolded, and Hu Ce's organs grew back little by little under their gaze. It was only when a layer of skin with blood streaks grew out that they came back to their senses.

In the few remaining countries, all players chose to cooperate with local officials to kill the savage worms.
Yuan Heng got the chance to dissect the second female worm, and this female worm was much larger than the last one, not even in the same league.
With these additions to the research, compound 0 made groundbreaking progress.
Originally intended to be injected into the body of the carnivorous worm to kill its cells, this compound has been significantly modified and has become a potent enhancer that is both dangerous and alluring.
The current difficulty is that the substances that can enhance ordinary people all come from ferocious insects. If someone were to be injected with them, the result would be obvious: insectification.
Therefore, Yuan Heng temporarily shifted his attention away from the ferocious insects and turned to the group of people with special abilities: the players.
Hu Ce was still lying in the hospital; this was his second day there.
Of the five players, only he survived; the others died because their injuries were too severe and they didn't receive timely treatment.
Hu Ce dared not think about where his teammates' bodies had gone; he was most worried about himself, especially when Yuan Heng sat by his bedside.
“Blood is not donated for nothing. We will provide insect crystals as compensation, 3,000 insect crystals for 100 milliliters.”
Yuan Heng spoke gently, as if he were a concerned friend.
But Hu Ce's hair stood on end. He had come from an ordinary background and knew how powerful a country was. He used to have teammates and other players, forming a cohesive unit. But now he was alone, and two fists couldn't fight against four palms, let alone more than four palms.
He wanted to say what if I were resolute, but in the end he didn't say it.
Yuan Heng glanced at the window with the curtains drawn. "You can think about it carefully. Although the medicine healed the wound, the core is definitely damaged. If you want to go back to the border to deal with the ferocious insects, it will take at least six months."
During Hu Ce's coma, the hospital conducted a systematic examination. Even though his various indicators looked much better than those of an average person, he could not be compared to ordinary standards.
Hu Ce knew perfectly well whether Yuan Heng was right or wrong, so his resolve began to waver.
Yuan Heng pressed on, "The official methods for dealing with the ferocious insects have made great progress. I believe that the efforts to deal with the ferocious insects in the future will be no less than yours. Once the number of insect crystals increases, your reward will be even greater. You should know that there are not many players willing to donate blood to us."
Players are not invincible. There are quite a few like Hu Ce who are injured and on the verge of death. Xia Guo seizes this opportunity and saves them whenever they encounter them. Although they cannot be distinguished at first glance, they can be clearly identified after a physical examination.
The room was quiet for a moment before Hu Ce swallowed hard and said, "Okay." His voice was slightly hoarse, clearly indicating that he had struggled intensely inside.
Yuan Heng is right. If he insists on going to the border now, he'll just be throwing his life away. High-end dungeon teams won't agree to let a stranger join them for no reason. They'll either have agreed to it in Obsidian City or the stranger must have been a teammate before.
Moreover, forcing himself would only further damage his foundation. There were still nearly ten months left before the mission ended. He couldn't leave empty-handed, but he also couldn't just go and die for nothing.
"The first blood donation is 100 milliliters for 3,000 insect crystals, but the price must be increased afterward."
Hu Ce made his request. As a player, he knew very well that there was no other way out, and no one would be willing to make such a deal with the official regarding their body.
Therefore, he must be a blood donor that the authorities are lacking, so making a reasonable request should be feasible.
As expected, Yuan Heng nodded calmly without changing his expression after hearing his request. "Of course. Now you should rest well. A specialist will come to collect your blood in two days. During this period, we will provide for all your daily needs."
Having successfully persuaded the person, Yuan Heng stood up and said, "Then you continue to rest. I hope we can work together smoothly."
