Chapter 332: Mutation, Awakening
The moment Yao Ran heard Huang Zhihui's words, her eyes flickered. She asked, "What happened?"
Huang Zhihui hurriedly replied, "I have no time to explain. Elder Sister Yao Ran, quick! We must go to the infirmary now!"
Seeing her urgency, Yao Ran locked her door and said, "Let's go."
The two of them hurried to the infirmary. As they approached, Yao Ran could hear the commotion from a distance.
"Hold him down!" Li Tianyu shouted, pinning a soldier to the ground.
"Captain Li, be careful!" Another soldier reminded Li Tianyu as he saw another soldier rushing toward him.
When Yao Ran arrived, she saw Long Yu and Li Tianyu restraining two soldiers with red eyes and acting crazy while others were tying them up with ropes.
Long Yu's eyes lit up when he saw her and said, "Ran Ran, quick! Come and take a look at them."
Understanding the urgency of checking on them, Yao Ran rushed to the two crazy soldiers.
She squatted beside one of the soldiers and quickly examined him. When she saw that the injuries on his body had turned black, her expression darkened.
Yao Ran raised her eyes to look at the others and said, "The deformed monsters injured him, accelerating the mutation and deformation in his body. I need to clean the wounds immediately to control the deformation. Bring them to the beds and tie them up."
As her words sank in, the expressions of the other injured soldiers grew grim.
Seeing them still standing there, Long Yu said, "What are you guys doing there? Come and help bring them to the ward."
Yao Ran shook her head, "Their madness is not due to the awakening of abilities but due to the process of mutation and transformation. They are now having a high fever, which is caused by the process of awakening their abilities. It may take hours or even days for them to regain consciousness."
Seeing their confusion, she explained, "I discovered deep injuries on their bodies caused by the deformed monsters. The flesh around the wounds had rotted, and their blood had turned into black, sticky liquid."
Hearing this, Shi Xuan's expression darkened. He frowned and asked, "Are you saying... they are turning into deformed monsters because of the injuries?"
Yao Ran replied, "That's partly correct, but not entirely."
"What do you mean?" Jia Xiang asked.
Yao Ran looked at them and said, "As far as I know, there are two ways deformed monsters are created. The first is when humans suffer from nuclear radiation, and their contaminated bodies mutate into monsters. The second is when monsters are born from the accumulation of radioactive waste."
"The deformed monsters attacking us today belong to the second type. Their bodies contain high levels of radiation, which can be transferred to others when their bodily fluids or flesh come into contact with the DNA of living beings through wounds."
Seeing the solemn expressions on others' faces, she paused for a moment before continuing, "What happened to those two soldiers inside is due to the second-type monsters. The monsters injured them, and their DNA is now changing."
Listening intently to her explanation, Li Tianyu fell into deep thought.
After he thought about it, he asked in confusion, "Then how did they suddenly begin awakening abilities instead of mutating into deformed monsters?"
Yao Ran replied, "I fed them the deformation medicine. Thankfully, it wasn't too late. After the deformation was cured, they developed a high fever, which is the initial sign of ability
awakening."
She sighed and added, "Now, all we can do is wait. Whether they wake up or not depends entirely on their willpower. I have done what I can by giving them medicine; the rest is up to them to overcome the ability awakening process themselves."
Hearing this, Li Tianyu thought of the other soldiers and asked, "Miss Yao, can you check on my other brothers?"
