BFET Chapter 11

Treatment

Because she was too worried about Xie Yi’s condition, You Xue, who was usually talkative, only asked Shen Shu what they encountered at the source of pollution. After that, she didn’t say another word, staring ahead with a solemn expression, her hands gripping the steering wheel tightly.

The jeep sped along, and after entering the underground tunnel, You Xue took the emergency lane, leading directly to the Research Institute area.

The Research Institute is an independent research department established by the Kui City Security Defense Team specifically for Mutated Entities, and is also responsible for treating contaminated living organisms.

Since the establishment of the Kui City Safety Zone, it has been the strongest support and backing for the Kui City Security Defense Team.

At two o’clock in the morning, the intern on duty in the emergency treatment room was dozing off.

Suddenly, a short, continuous alarm sounded, and he almost jumped out of his chair, reflexively looking at the monitoring system in front of him.

He saw a car speeding along, with a huge red warning sign flashing beside it: Pollution concentration exceeds standard!

This time, the intern really jumped out of the chair and scrambled to call for help.

You Xue breathed a sigh of relief when she parked the car in the special parking space for the emergency treatment room, but then she suddenly turned her head to look at Shen Shu in the passenger seat, her heart sinking: It’s over!

She looked nervously at the calm-faced Shen Shu, and finally looked at the safety box he had placed on the console, asking cautiously, “Shen Shu, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?”

Shen Shu tilted his head upon hearing this: “No, why?”

“That’s good.” You Xue subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief. Just as she was about to explain, she heard someone knocking on the car window from outside. “Hey, You Xue, what are you doing in the car for so long without getting out!”

“I’m sorry, Jiang Li!” You Xue hurriedly opened the window and looked at the woman standing outside.

The woman, called Jiang Li by You Xue, had shoulder-length hair tucked behind her ears, and her delicate features were very serious at the moment.

“What did Xie Yi do again? The pollution concentration in the back of the car is seriously exceeding the standard, the front…” Jiang Li spoke very quickly. When she was halfway through her sentence, she saw the person sitting in the passenger seat. “Xiao Shu, what are you doing here?”

Shen Shu responded politely, “Assistant Jiang.”

You Xue looked back and forth between the two in surprise: “Sister Jiang Li, you know each other?”

“Yes, his grandfather is my teacher.” Jiang Li said in one sentence, “That’s not important, get out of the car, and tell me about Xie Yi’s situation first.”

Jiang Li made way while instructing the intern beside her to check the condition of the rear of the car.

“Lantern Mushroom?” Jiang Li frowned. “What level is it?”

You Xue: “Mid-level to mid-level subspecies, but after the captain killed it, its pollution sac suddenly went out of control, and the captain was directly affected.”

Shen Shu told her this in the car.

“If the pollution sac goes out of control, then this thing is definitely not just mid-level or subspecies.” Jiang Li said, “Something else must have happened before that.”

You Xue was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Shen Shu next to her.

Jiang Li also looked at him at the same time.

After all, although You Xue did all the talking, in reality, only Shen Shu followed Xie Yi into the source of pollution.

Shen Shu looked at the two people looking at him at the same time, and slowly said, “When I first arrived, the captain also said that the Lantern Mushroom had just forcibly completed its evolution, and I don’t know anything else.”

Plant-based Mutated Entities absorb and release a lot of pollution before and after evolution, and the pollution threshold is extremely high.

In addition to the forced evolution, Jiang Li frowned, and had a general judgment in her mind, “I see, okay, you two go ahead and get busy.”

You Xue wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Jiang Li: “Captain Fei and the others should be waiting for you, You Xue, and Xiao Shu.”

Jiang Li pointed to the box Shen Shu was holding, “Take this thing to the containment room for disposal and purification immediately, don’t delay any longer, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

After saying that, she didn’t wait for the two to reply, took the inspection results from the intern next to her, and had someone take them out.

Jiang Li quickly scanned the inspection results in her hand, and then walked to the rear of the car, picked up the instrument prepared by the intern next to her, and connected the built-in communication in the rear of the car from the outside.

Seeing the prompt on the instrument that the connection was successful, Jiang Li asked, “Xie Yi, can you hear me? I’m Jiang Li.”

Heavy breathing came from the instrument. Jiang Li listened for a moment, and when there was no response, she couldn’t help but clench the hand holding the walkie-talkie. “Xie Yi, are you still awake?”

This time she heard a long sigh, and then after two or three seconds, Xie Yi’s voice, with a hint of hoarseness, slowly came from the instrument: “Yeah, not too good.”

Jiang Li breathed a sigh of relief, “It’s good that you’re still awake. The high-purity diluent in the back of the car has been empty for a while, and the pollution concentration is seriously exceeding the standard. I was ready for you to lose consciousness.”

Hearing this, Xie Yi laughed, “If you really judged that I had lost consciousness, you should have called someone to open the car door and prepared to forcibly detain me for treatment long ago, instead of communicating with me here and asking me.”

Jiang Li clicked her tongue, “You can think, you’re conscious, and you can still joke with me, how is that not too good, you’re clearly in good condition, okay, I’ll open the door.”

Xie Yi nodded, “Remember to wear a protective suit.”

Jiang Li replied that she knew, hung up the connection, and turned to put on the protective suit.

The treatment room had been set to strong sedation mode when the car came in.

Jiang Li put on a protective suit, wrapping herself tightly, and stood in front of the rear of the jeep.

Under the vehicle’s sedation mode, the rear of the car became a large, sealed safe box that could only be opened from the outside.

Jiang Li stood in front of the rear of the car, and after verifying her identity through the smart terminal and obtaining permission, a warning and a prompt to confirm the opening popped up on the blue screen in front of her.

She glanced at it and clicked confirm.

With a beep, the blue screen disappeared.

The black car door moved outward and then slowly opened to the side.

As soon as the car door opened a crack, the lights in the treatment room suddenly turned red and flashed rapidly.

Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at the monitoring system next to her, only to see that the pollution concentration indicators displayed on it were rising rapidly!

At the same time, under the strong sedation mode, the treatment room’s intelligent system automatically replenished high-concentration diluent, and the room temperature dropped rapidly.

The constantly rising high pollution index and high-concentration diluent were extremely stretched in the treatment room.

As the car door was pulled open wider, Xie Yi slowly appeared in Jiang Li’s sight.

Under the faint light of the car, Xie Yi was seen shrinking his long legs and feet, leaning against the other side of the car, with large patches of scale-like things spreading on his exposed skin, and those things seemed to be still moving.

Half of his upper body team uniform seemed to have been corroded, and his entire right arm had completely changed, and his hand had also turned into a claw shape.

Xie Yi looked at Jiang Li, who was standing outside the car without saying a word, with his changed-color eyes, and smiled, “Why aren’t you talking? Are you scared?”

Jiang Li opened her mouth and cursed directly, “You still dare to laugh? You still dare to ask me why I’m not talking? Xie Yi, how much pollution have you absorbed? Do you want to take a look at what you look like now? Just because your ability is special, you don’t value your life? Xie Yi, I think you’re just a madman!”
