CHAPTER 64: CHAPTER 63: SEVEN SURVIVAL FACTORS

Outside the quarantine zone, over a hundred fully armed warriors were patrolling.

After showing their credentials, Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei were led inside the quarantine area.

The survivors who had been parasitized by Nightmare Spores were all lying on sickbeds, deeply trapped in dreams.

A middle-aged man in a white coat saw the two arrive, his eyes brightened, and he immediately walked up to them: "Hello."

"There are a total of seventy-five patients in urgent need of treatment."

"I’ve studied medicine for over twenty years and have never seen such symptoms."

"I’ve almost gone through all the medical literature..."

"With Earth’s current medical level, there’s simply no way to help them."

"The effect of drugs is negligible."

"We can only watch their bodily functions deteriorate bit by bit."

Saying this, the middle-aged man sighed: "Completely helpless!"

"Please, you must save these warriors!"

He is a chief physician from a top-tier hospital, constantly learning and updating his medical knowledge, always believing his skills were impeccable, only to realize his limitations upon arriving in the A3 District.

Driven by the heart of a physician, he didn’t let too much despondency set in.

More than anything, he was anxious for these warriors.

Upon arriving at this restricted area and signing confidentiality agreements, he was informed of many matters not yet disclosed to the public.

Including the existence of Inner Qi Cultivation, Superpower Users, and alien life.

He had been told that these two young people before him were beings with superpowers, miracle workers!

"If it’s inconvenient, I can leave first."

The middle-aged doctor glanced at the young warrior on the bed, whose face showed pain, and sighed: "If you need any help, I’ll come over immediately."

Initially, the faces of these patients bore happy smiles, somewhat eerie, with very strange expressions.

Now, the comatose patients were no longer smiling, which was even more worrying.

The illness was changing.

Yet he had no idea whether these changes were good or bad.

"Dr. Cheng Lili."

Ma Ran glanced at the name plaque on his chest and said in a deep voice: "Just watch from the side."

"It doesn’t affect anything."

Dr. Cheng paused and nodded slightly, standing at the door, watching from afar: "I went to school with Professor Liu Binbing from the Grass Hut Academy, who is responsible for the ethics course."

"In our conversations, he always held something back, never saying the full story."

"I remember he mentioned your names."

"Said you were the best ’students’ in the ’class’."

Cheng Lili realized suddenly: "Now that I’m in the A3 District, having touched upon some secret intelligence, I understand what he meant by those words."

"Aren’t you among the strongest in the superpower user community?"

Su Qiangwei nodded boldly, pointing to Ma Ran beside her: "Smart guy!"

"This fellow and I are the strongest National Guardian level superpower users in the country!"

"Looking across the whole Earth, there’s no one stronger than us!"

This manner of speaking was indeed clever.

Just like saying "The combined wealth of Gates and me is more than 99.9% of the people on Earth."

Ma Ran smirked, too lazy to expose Su Qiangwei’s small scheme, not planning to correct her error.

Also a National Guardian level superpower user, Su Qiangwei’s Myriad Transformations potential is unlimited, a typical mid-late stage hero.

And that foreign GOD, who could be considered at the pinnacle upon debut, required no development time whatsoever.

Now, with Ma Ran and Su Qiangwei together, they were also just offerings to others.

However...

Such assumptions are meaningless!

Although GOD’s personality is indifferent, gradually losing humanity as abilities are used and developed, considering himself the only god, treating human lives as worthless, considering Earth as his Faith Ranch, but...

In Ma Ran’s memory, he at least died in an outer space invasion incident.

This person, until the end of his life, didn’t abandon Earth civilization like some traitors, nor did he have a record of stabbing comrades in the back.

Therefore, as long as GOD stayed honestly within his own domain, he could barely be considered an ally in the same camp.

But dull and honest Dr. Cheng believed Su Qiangwei’s nonsense without hesitation.

Standing seriously aside, he dared not disturb their treatment process.

"I’ll try first."

Su Qiangwei walked confidently to the sickbed.

Any superpower stolen, no matter what, she treats them all equally!

The cost of using abilities requires payment in fat!

Su Qiangwei placed her right hand behind her back, her left hand hovering, beginning to wield the superpowers acquired through Myriad Transformations.

"Is this the person who was previously controlled by the Nightmare Mother and almost stabbed you with a knife?"

"I remember, he almost stabbed you through and through..."

Su Qiangwei’s gaze fell on the patient’s face, and a faint blue light began to glow in her hand.

An icy aura spread throughout the ward as frost flowers appeared on the walls.

A watery blue light enveloped Xiao Wang completely.

However, the relaxed expression on the girl’s face gradually disappeared.

Her brow furrowed, her expression becoming serious: "It can be treated."

"But..."

"Even if treated, the person will die."

"The alien life parasitizing him is completely bonded with him in the Expel Disease ability’s perception!"

"Which means..."

"Forcibly using Expel Disease will only accelerate their death!"

Ma Ran pondered for a moment, focusing his spirit to the right front: "Nightmare, can you save the person on the bed?"

???

The invisible and floating Little Walnut emitted three question marks.

It roughly understood that Ma Ran wanted to save that "Xiao Wang."

The key problem, however, was...

How to save?

It simply didn’t have that function!

Once spore parasitism succeeds, it’s over.

In its innate memory, there was never any mention of how to separate spores from their host...

Who would undertake such redundant actions!

Ma Ran quickly received a sense of confusion from 98725.

At crucial moments, one has to rely on oneself.

"Useless."

Being evaluated this way, 98725 was quite happy.

Based on the information it has collected so far...

The term "useless" generally describes human individuals of high growth potential and boundless promise with good fortune.

Previously it hadn’t noticed, but now it realized Ma Ran had quite an eye!

Little Walnut indulged joyfully in fantasies.

Meanwhile, Ma Ran was contemplating whether to humanely destroy this useless thing.

"The current abilities of Nightmare Mother 98725..."

1. Signal jamming, a surveillance star.

2. Regional observation, can swiftly collect intelligence akin to a top reconnaissance soldier.

3. Corrosive liquid able to destroy most of human civilization’s technological creations.

4. Releasing Nightmare Dust, manipulating the dreams of intelligent creatures on a large scale.

5. Nightmare Spore parasitism.

6. Devouring brain waves, rapid evolution, slaughtering invisibly.

7. Providing pure attributeless spiritual power for oneself.

Upon this realization, Ma Ran withheld his killing intent.

These seven elements allowed 98725 to survive.

Ma Ran looked up and glanced at the cameras in the corners of the ward and the small sound recording devices.

"Prepare to recruit Inner Qi Cultivators with the Black Rock Martial Arts at the Second Rank of Inner Qi."

Ma Ran remained calm, stating clearly: "Transferring inner Qi to these patients can effectively extend their safe period."

Simply buying time was clearly meaningless.

The girl beside him was about to ask, but Ma Ran killed the topic with three simple words: "I can save them."
