Chapter 590: Chapter 430, Ninth Epoch, Year 155_2
“It’s no wonder the craftsmen of the Shu Mi Dam Civilization are willing to stay here permanently. The Qi Fortune here is truly abundant.”
“From time to time, I can sense that this is a state created by the people, one that can sustain for a long time.”
“Compared to our Underground Alliance, ours is a mediocre and somewhat uninteresting civilization,” Master Craftsman·Lu Lun couldn’t help but express his deep inner feelings upon seeing all this.
Of course, observing all this doesn’t mean he would betray the Alliance.
He only wishes to build the Alliance even better!

That is his path!
…
As time swiftly passed, a month later, a group of People of the Underworld were anxiously waiting outside the High-risk Laboratory.
Their important mission for this visit was the treatment of Ancient Insects.
They needed to confirm first whether the Humans could treat it and then consider the issue of medical costs.
It wasn’t until three o’clock in the afternoon of this day that Lu Yuan, holding a safe, came out of the laboratory.
Following him were the Wooden Puppet “Greedy Demon God”, Professor Lu Tiantian, and a large group of biologists.
It was evident that many experts had also worked exhaustively and diligently for a month.
“How is it, is there a way?” Dadao Gang hurriedly came forward to ask.
Lu Yuan was silent for a while before replying softly, “The conventional methods are very difficult, our experts have thought of many ways, all to no avail in the end, its rule quality is too high.”
Hearing this news, the people of the Underground Alliance clenched their fists and let out a wry smile.
Hope was shattered.
Lu Yuan explained, “Especially since it currently has only a piece of flesh, it has no immune system of its own, making it even more difficult…”
“You know, the Healing of many diseases is mainly due to one’s own immune Ability, not because of the medicine. The medicine is just a push from behind, akin to an aid. The immune Ability is much more important.”
Humans really did their utmost, using all kinds of venomous methods like [Blood Ghost], [Deformed Ghost]…
Even the blood of Little Mirage Dragon was used for experimentation!
The Racial Value of Little Mirage Dragon is also considered high among the Anomalies.
But in the end it was all for naught.
The issue they are currently facing is different from the Ghost Mist Disaster. In fact, all the Ghost fog put together was just a drop of blood, with a very low concentration of power, so the amount each person inhaled was quite limited.
However, the concentration of power contained in the piece of flesh inside the safe is extremely high, possibly around a hundred thousand times that of the Ghost fog!
Unless the whole piece of flesh is destroyed along with it, it could be completely resolved, but that wouldn’t be treatment, it would be outright eradication.
Hearing the Humans say so, Dadao Gang was silent for a while, looking up at the blue sky and white clouds, “It’s been a real bother for you all. It’s very normal if it can’t be cured… if this matter was so easy, we could have done it ourselves.”
“Let’s leave it at that… We’ve settled down for a month, have come to understand Humans more, and should go back to report on the situation.”
“I hope we can cooperate further and look to the future.”
The atmosphere turned somewhat awkward for a moment.
After observing for a month, humans were indeed more advanced than them. If they can’t achieve it, then there isn’t much to be done but to seek help from an even more powerful Civilization in the future.
Lu Yuan cleared his throat and added, “Ahem, don’t hurry… our experts believe that if the patient’s Life Force is very strong, there is still… a slight chance of success. I wonder how much Energy the patient has left.”
“Oh? How so?”
“Through some experiments and analysis, we found that this piece of living tissue could match the muscle structure of Anomaly [Insect].”
Dadao Gang was startled for a moment; it seemed like the identity of the Ancient Insect had been discovered.
But this was also normal; if such things couldn’t be detected, what’s the point of talking about healing?
“The Anomaly [Insect] has some peculiarities, perhaps it can utilize its ‘Devouring Evolution’ ability to devour this ‘Withering Disease’. Of course, the specifics of the treatment method are not convenient to disclose; we will use some very special potions which require strong Life Force to endure.”
The mortality rate of “Withering Disease” is even higher than that of “Mutant Disease.”
Lu Yuan could not bear to use his own Insect Race for experiments, so he let the frontline warriors capture some insects from the Cracks and send them to the rear.
After a series of trials, scientists found that [Withering] and [Deformation] seemed to be of the same Level, while the combat power of [Blood Ghosts] was slightly higher.
This means that “Withering Disease” could be treated in the same way as “Mutant Disease,” just that the intermediate process needs some slight improvements.
Lu Yuan displayed a glass bottle, within which the grey-black fog, as if alive, formed vortex after vortex, continuously slamming against the bottle walls.
Dadao Gang lightly touched the bottle and sprung up as if electrified!
A cold power made his whole body numb, that’s right, this feeling! It’s an energy of the same origin!
Other diplomats touched it one by one, trembling all over in fear.
“This time it seems promising?” Bull Chief widened his eyes, “Finally, it’s completely incomprehensible to us. Maybe it really stands a chance?”
Everyone wore a bitter smile mixed with speechlessness… Since when did something incomprehensible become reliable? What kind of logic is that?
“Cough cough, let me be frank, this is the power of [Ghost], the strongest and most terrifying of the Four Great Calamities.” Lu Yuan said, “Your patients, attacked by [Ghosts] yet not dead… that’s quite remarkable. Anyway, nobody here can withstand [Ghosts].”
Dadao Gang indeed knew this, and having it pointed out, could only brazenly ask: “What is the success rate…?”
“That… how could we guarantee it?”
Before Lu Yuan could finish, Professor Lu Tiantian who stood by interjected: “Based on the current analysis, this Anomaly [Insect] is simply unprecedentedly powerful…”
“If it’s in its peak state, we have a ninety-nine percent chance of bringing it back. But too much time has passed now, we can’t assess its Life Force status, so we can’t estimate the healing chances.”
“But please trust that our method is definitely effective. I cannot reveal the specifics of the principle as it involves the secrets of Human Civilization…”
“These are the current experimental specimens; you can have a look.”
Several soldiers operating Mechas brought out some experimental specimens of the Insect Race from the laboratory.
Most of the insects were dead, their deaths were extremely tragic, with all the moisture in their bodies evaporated, leaving behind mummified corpses.
These were classic symptoms of Withering Disease.
But there were also a few that maintained a relatively moist form; however, upon being cut open with a laser, it was found that their bodies were filled with grape-like malignant tumors, and yellow, viscous fluid flowed out incessantly, contaminating the entire glass enclosure.
“This…” Dadao Gang saw this disgusting scene, somewhat incredulous.
He then let a Cross-eyed Clan biological expert from behind him observe for a while.
This Cross-eyed expert was no ordinary individual; after researching for a while and showing delight on his face, he said: “Lord, I almost understand it. Humans have used some energy of the same level to drive away the power of the Withering Disease.”
“But that same-level energy, it causes a large number of tumors…”
Dadao Gang’s face twitched: “What’s the use of that then? Isn’t it even more troublesome? The Ancient Insect has turned into a ball of tumors? I can’t imagine… If the public finds out, we might be sent to the gallows!”
The Ancient Insect is a faith and a pillar of spirit.
The expert shook his head: “No, it’s indeed meaningful; the symptoms of Withering Disease are too terrifying, you can die in just a few minutes.”
“But the symptoms of this mutated disorder result in a slower death; even ordinary members of the Insect Race take a long time to die. Humans probably want to exploit this, to do something.”
It’s like the gap between “Ebola virus” and “malignant tumors,” one dies quickly, with no chance of rescue; while the other also has a high mortality rate, but the death comes slower, and there’s time to think of solutions.
