The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

The parasites scattered on the ground amidst that filth, and the humanoid creatures unconscious within their diaphragms, are the best proof of the blasphemous attempts of people in this world.

Ye Xiao scoffed and mocked in his heart. These mutated things could not possibly have formed naturally; they must be products of human arrogance.

But the result is that the consequences of these individual desires ultimately have to be paid for by innocent people.

Huo Yan calmly brought over two sealed jars and used tweezers to pick up two intact parasites and put them into the jars.

Then, he packed the jars into the box and said to Ye Xiao and Lu Zhao:

"We can deal with these things now."

Ye Xiao quickly waved his hand at Zhou Hu and the others, "Burn these things before they react!"

Lu Zhao and Zhou Hu's group turned on the flamethrowers, and the heat wave burned inside the cave.

Scalding hot air kept gushing out. Ye Xiao and Huo Yan led Tian Haifeng out of the cave first.

It was still bright outside, the middle of the day, and they had cleared a space around the cave entrance.

Ye Xiao looked at the box Huo Yan was carrying. Although he stopped outside the cave, his eyes remained fixed on the box in Huo Yan's hand.

His brow was slightly furrowed, as if he was extremely wary of what was in the box.

Ye Xing followed beside Ye Xiao, one hand gripping his sleeve tightly, his eyes also fixed on the box with vigilance.

What kind of research do you plan to do with those things?

Huo Yan glanced down at the box in his hand and said, "We'll have to wait for further research to know the specifics."

Seeing Ye Xiao staring at the box with a hint of worry, Huo Yan assumed Ye Xiao was afraid the parasite was still alive and said:

"Don't worry, it won't be able to get out. When it comes time to study it, we'll definitely kill it first."

Ye Xiao sighed, "That's not what I'm worried about!"

He took a deep breath, frowned at Huo Yan, and said, "These things are not good, and they are definitely not natural products."

"The world we live in now is the result of those people trying to study these things. Aren't you afraid that what lies ahead is not a miracle, but a hopeless hell?"

Ye Xiao's words silenced Huo Yan, and the viewers in the live stream began to express their opinions noisily after hearing Ye Xiao's words.

[Yueyue Chizhui: Exactly, this thing looks terrifying, what's the point of studying it?]

[Jingjing's Big Red Coat: Curiosity killed the cat; this is how the apocalypse happened here, isn't it?]

[The Heart of Isaac: What if things turn out like that on our side?]

[Dawn's Fire: I can't understand what's so interesting about researching this bullshit]

[Advising someone to study medicine is like being struck by lightning: it's all for the sake of solving some diseases or problems.]

[The Unshaking Little Monster: Science always involves risks.]

……

While the live stream was filled with debate, in the command center of the special operations team, many staff members turned to look at the expert team in white coats.

They seemed to share the same worries and fears, awaiting their answers.

Just then, Huo Yan on the screen spoke.

"Don't worry, the organization will naturally take such risks into account. That's why the organization sent us here to keep the risks under control and prevent the pollution from being brought back over there."

Ye Xiao paused for two seconds, then asked, "So, once someone's genes are contaminated, they will be abandoned and not allowed to return to that side, right?"

Huo Yan nodded silently, while Ye Xiao wasn't particularly surprised; clearly, this seemed to have been expected all along.

But the fans in the live stream couldn't help but gasp in shock.

[Stray Cat: What does that mean? If I become a mutant, I can't go back?]

[Prosperity is like water: Isn't that obvious? It's already been said to be some kind of genetically mutated virus.]

[Dance of Death: If this spreads, we're doomed.]

[Three Foxes: How tragic, the past was never a good thing]

……

Well!

Suddenly, a slightly painful groan interrupted Ye Xiao's thoughts and the oppressive atmosphere around him.

Ye Xiao snapped out of his thoughts and didn't ask any more questions about the contents of the box.

He shifted his gaze to Tian Haifeng, who was sitting in the open space not far away. Tian Haifeng was frowning and looking at his left arm with a hint of fear and unease in his eyes.

To better observe the condition of his arm, he had taken off his clothes, exposing his arm.

The arm was completely black and began to throb again, while the flesh below twisted and became deformed.

Without hesitation, Han Yu, who was standing guard to the side, injected the mutation inhibitor that Ye Xiao had given him into Tian Haifeng's left arm.

The arm, which had begun to twist in shape, seemed to receive some kind of solace, ceasing its painful struggles and contortions, and slowly returned to its original form.

However, the darkness did not fade; orange veins were clearly visible on it, increasingly resembling the shape of Ye Xing's hand.

Neither Huo Yan nor Ye Xiao loosened the belt. Neither of them was sure whether the parasite attached to his arm had completely fused with or died, or whether it would burrow further into his body.

If the parasite can migrate and enters Tian Haifeng's body, it will probably be too late to save him.

Not long after, Lu Zhao and Zhou Hu emerged from the cave, their faces blackened by the smoke.

Upon seeing the group emerge, they did not linger there but returned directly to the base.

Tian Haifeng's condition was not good. As soon as they returned to the base, Ye Xiao and Han Yu took Tian Haifeng and followed Huo Yan to the infirmary.

The group hurried to the third floor of the administration building. The fourth floor was the laboratory, and the third floor was the medical clinic.

At that moment, Dr. Zhao was in the clinic. When she saw Ye Xiao and his group rushing in, Zhao Shuanghua, who was arranging medicines by the cabinet, turned her head and cast her gaze at the group of people who entered the room.

With just one glance, his eyes were fixed on Tian Haifeng, who was being supported by Han Yu and Wang Yao behind Ye Xiao.

Upon seeing his left arm, Zhao Shuanghua didn't ask any questions. She walked directly to the cabinet next to her, opened the drawer, took out a set of sanitary clothes that Ye Xiao had prepared for him, and began to put them on.

The medical equipment in the clinic was all obtained from the online store. It must be said that the online store has a very complete selection of items, but the prices are extremely expensive.

Without the support of an organization, Ye Xiao simply couldn't afford the things here.

However, because of the cooperation with the organization, the organization would also provide assistance to the greatest extent possible, which undoubtedly gave Ye Xiao a lot of confidence.

However, not all equipment can be purchased. For example, he does not yet have the authority to purchase large equipment such as X-ray machines and CT scanners. The base needs to reach a certain level before it can be qualified to purchase them.

"Help him to the operating room next door!"

Dr. Zhao immediately gave the order, and Han Yu and Wang Yao didn't dare to delay. They immediately helped Tian Haifeng to the operating room next door.

Huo Yan helped out from the side, while Ye Xing and Han Yu stood guard to prevent any possible emergencies.

Huo Yan recounted the situation to Zhao Shuanghua in detail, and Zhao Shuanghua glanced at the belt above Tian Haifeng's arm.

He squeezed the dark arm and asked:

"Do you feel it?"

Tian Haifeng shook his head, "No, I can't feel anything!"

Dr. Zhao did not loosen the belt, but instead picked up the scalpel and cut open the fixed, black arm.

The metal box on the trolley contained sterilized scalpels and sharp forceps.

He had to be extremely careful, because if he accidentally hurt himself, he might be contaminated by the mutated gene.

However, Zhao Shuanghua possessed exceptional mental fortitude, and her knife movements remained decisive and steady.

The scalpel was very sharp, but the skin on Tian Haifeng's left arm felt like it was covered in rubber, making it extremely difficult to even cut through the skin.

"No, the scalpel can't cut it!"

Dr. Zhao tossed the scalpel into a plate beside him. Ye Xiao remained silent for a moment, then gave Wang Yao a wink, and Wang Yao immediately pulled out a seed-planting knife.

Dr. Zhao hesitated for a moment, holding the knife in his hand. After a simple disinfection, he decisively pressed the button and cut the knife into Tian Haifeng's arm.

Sure enough, even when his arm was cut open, Tian Haifeng felt nothing, as if the arm no longer belonged to him.

Dr. Zhao made a ruthless incision, cutting through the flesh, which had almost turned black, until the stark white bone was exposed.

At the same time, there was a snake-shaped object coiled on the bone!
