Niu Jieshi examined it carefully for a long time, then asked incredulously.
"He's still alive?"
The doctor nodded, indicating that although a normal person's flesh and blood would certainly be dead long ago after rotting like this, he did still have the most basic vital signs.
Jiang Xiao and Shi Shi were well aware of this; the blue liquid in the medical pod, when concentrated to a certain level, could bring people back to life.
shit
After cleaning up the insects, Jiang Xiao and his team could more clearly see the changes in the patient's body.
Those deep wounds, which revealed bone to be visible, or more accurately, wounds where even the bone was rotting, were spreading into the surrounding flesh at a visible speed.
The virus is invisible.
All you can see is the skin and flesh around the patient's wound rapidly aging, drying out, and eventually rotting and infesting with insects.
“Strange, his transformation wasn’t this fast before. This time, his flesh turned into worms in less than a minute. The result we observed before was half an hour.”
The doctor adjusted his glasses and opened the medical log to record the patient's latest condition.
Is it becoming old and decaying again?
Jiang Xiao thought of Old Yang, who had previously "revealed heavenly secrets," and who had also died of old age.
However, he was even more unlucky. After he died of old age, the insects were born from his body, and when the explosion occurred, the insects splattered all over the faces of the other historians.
"Master Jiang, do you think you can use your power to kill the 'creature' on the patient's body?"
Shi Shi, who had been eager to try, immediately jumped up, raised her hands, and shouted.
"Let me do it! Let me do it!!"
Jiang Xiao and Niu Jieshi exchanged a smile, showing no intention of competing.
Jiang Xiao waved to the doctor, signaling for Shi Shi to give it a try.
Looking at this excessively cute little girl, the doctor felt somewhat helpless, but seeing the determination in Jiang Xiao's eyes, he could only agree.
He walked to the control panel, operated the robotic arm, and slowly opened the small door of the glass room.
Shi Shi excitedly crawled out, eager to observe these strange "insects" up close.
"Open the medical pod too, I want to take a closer look at what's going on!"
Shi Shi exclaimed, her voice filled with anticipation and curiosity.
Open the medical pod?
How many viruses do you ingest just by breathing?
The doctor frowned, his fingers hovering over the control panel, hesitant.
Shi Shi's request was unacceptable to him, as it concerned his life.
“No, Shi Shi, you’re not even wearing protective clothing. It’s very dangerous to be in close contact with patients like this.”
The doctor's tone was firm as he refused Shi Shi's request.
Shi Shi seemed somewhat dissatisfied. She pouted, about to retort, but Wang Dayong shook his head helplessly, interrupting her.
"It's alright, she's a weirdo, just listen to her."
Wang Dayong said to the doctor, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
what?
The doctor's eyes were strange; he clearly found the word "weird" incomprehensible to this cute little girl.
Shi Shi, her face flushed with anger, stuck out her little animal ears from the top of her head to express her "power".
Is this a pet-themed weirdo?
She's this cute, are you sure her fighting power is higher than mine?
Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that the doctor should just open the door. He knew Shi Shi's abilities; she had managed to cope even in the virus-ridden Shanghai-Hong Kong metropolitan area.
The doctor took a deep breath, finally released his finger, and pressed the button.
The door at the top of the medical pod slowly opened, revealing a patient inside who was half-decomposed and crawling with insects.
Without the slightest hesitation, Shi Shi walked straight into the medical pod, lay down on top of it, and looked down at the disgusting insects.
She reached out and gently touched one of them, then frowned.
"These insects... they are very resilient, but I can feel their fear of me."
Shi Shi said in a low voice, a strange light flashing in her eyes.
"fear?"
The doctor repeated it in confusion, not understanding Shi Shi's words.
"Yes, they are afraid of me."
Shi Shi's voice revealed a hint of confidence. She gently ran her fingers across the insects, and they began to scatter in panic.
Jiang Xiao and the others focused on Shi Shi's actions. They saw that the worms that had been greedily corroding the patients' flesh and blood had become helpless under Shi Shi's hands.
The doctor had to warn her, "Be careful, these insects may be carrying a very dangerous virus."
Shi Shi simply smiled; she had absolute confidence in her abilities.
Her eyes were fixed on the white worms wriggling on the patient's skin.
Then she stretched out her delicate pink hand, gathering a faint black light at her fingertips, and gently touched one of the insects.
Instantly, the insect's body began to tremble, then turned into a wisp of smoke and disappeared from the patient's body.
Shi Shi's movements did not stop; her fingers traced streaks of light in the air.
Each ray of light hit its target precisely, and the insects vanished into nothingness under her power.
This cleaning speed is countless times faster than the most sophisticated and intelligent robotic arm.
"That's it?"
Shi Shi raised an eyebrow, seemingly thinking that the game was already won, completely unaware of the gazes directed at her by Jiang Xiao and the Doctor.
Everyone looked at Shi Shi's smug little face, but they were speechless.
Although she had eliminated the worms, the truly deadly viruses were still raging in the patient's body.
Unable to bear it any longer, Wang Dayong stepped forward and warned him in a deep voice.
“Um, Shi Shi, the insects you killed were all very ordinary insects, transformed from the patient’s flesh and blood. What you’re mainly dealing with now are those invisible viruses on his body.”
Shi Shi was taken aback by what he said. She blinked her big eyes, clearly not understanding what Wang Dayong meant.
She felt she had done a good job, after all, she had gotten rid of those disgusting bugs.
"Virus?"
Shi Shi repeated it, and then she seemed to remember what the doctor had said earlier, but she obviously didn't take it to heart.
"But I've already killed all the bugs!"
Clearly, Shi Shi didn't understand a word the doctor said and mistakenly thought that the "insects" were the culprit.
Chapter 566 The Mad Virus
“Shi Shi, insects are just a product of the virus. The real enemy is the invisible virus.”
Jiang Xiao explained patiently.
"We need your strength to fight these viruses, not these useless bugs."
Shi Shi suddenly realized what was going on, and she nodded to indicate that she understood.
Then, she turned her attention to the patients and began trying to find those invisible viruses.
Although the patient's wound was no longer crawling with worms, it was still a mess.
Shi Shi focused her mind and calmed herself, her fingers gently waving in the air as if searching for something.
A moment later, Shi Shi frowned slightly, as if she had sensed something.
Her finger suddenly stopped in mid-air, then gently tapped down.
An almost invisible wave emanated from Shi Shi's fingertips, and a faint black halo seemed to flash across the patient's body.
That's right, that black light is the eerie, unique scent.
Jiang Xiao nodded; it seemed Shi Shi was getting serious.
This time, no insects vanished into thin air, but the patient's wound began to slowly stop festering.
The doctor and the other medical students held their breath, watching the patient's changes with intense anticipation.
Shi Shi seemed to have found her rhythm, and her movements began to become more confident and fluid.
Each time her fingers touched the patient, the patient would experience a slight improvement.
As time went on, the patient's vital signs began to stabilize, and the invisible virus seemed to have truly been eliminated by the power of the poem.
Seeing this, the doctor's anxiety finally subsided, and he realized that Shi Shi might have really done it.
