Translator: Lonelytree

The headlights cut through the darkness The sound of engines echoed through this deserted land The citizens of Ma Er Wan had been safely evacuated There were no longer any citizens or animals within the quarantine circle The plants were the next to go At Mo Bei, trees were a rarity and thus every single one was precious The logging trucks, excavators and dredgers, which were part of this Quarantine Circle Project, moved towards the afforestation spots

At Mo Bei Command Central, Zhou Dajun, the main commander had his face drawn He was a Mo Bei local, he saw for himself how the environment at his hometown improved with his oo eyes… “Start!” With an order, the vehicles ra and falling… The trees fell one after another The logs were carried away by the trucks, leaving behind not even a seedling

At the sarass, the colors of spring and the signs of nature Overnight, everything morphed into smoke and dust Quarantine circle… or more literally, the Death circle surrounded the 30 cubic km of mutated area

…

At Mo Bei’s Phecda Division, two surgeries were imminent The patients were Tian Fuhou and Bian Yi They were scheduled for right upper arm amputation Both of them had reached their hands into the locust tree, which caused minor burns on their arms Turns out that was caused by direct exposure to radiation For the human body, 1 Gy equals to 1 Sievert (Sv) Sievert is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units and is aradiation on the human body

Currently, the radiation dose within the tere respectively 62 Sv and 45 Sv in general but 1723 Sv and 1871 Sv in their right arxin measured respectively at 56 Sv and 42 Sv The four’s acute radiation sickness worsened There was constant vo, headache and dizziness After the result confir, the medical unit prescribed them anti-radiationand Ma Zhengxin’s situation was brought under control However, Tian Fuhou and Bian Yi had complained of increased pain around the burn marks since noon

At 1723 Sv and 1871 Sv radiation doses, their conditions orsening fast The scorched skin first swelled before deco Then the vessels under the skin irated The ier looked like one Tian Fuhou rolled about in bed In all these years, no entle these hardshi+ps But now, the old man washed his face with tears and moaned nonstop The pain was unbearable For a 79 years old man, the intense pain also caused his blood pressure to rise and gave hied and there was danger of cerebral haee and cardiac arrest The medical unit instantly injected the old ainst radiation pain After all, for radiation sickness, there was no cure

Officer Bian Yi was not faring any better In fact, he s echoed inside his room as well, it sounded like hell on earth The situation had worsened until amputation was necessary The patients were unable to bear the pain and the radioactive isotope ht continue to spread if the hands were left connected to the body The surgeries should have been done in thebut there were simply too many questions, was there a supernatural influence behind the radiation within the mutated area? Was this a simple radiation sickness? Would the anaesthetic be effective during the surgery? Could surgery even be possible?

The surgical building was busy The medical unit sent by the Spell Depart and Cai Zixuan The two of theeries Facing such unusual circumstances, they naturally were re, they cleared their ical discussion The athered at the conference room, in attendance were the many experts

“Based on current observation,” A ed ive his explanation This was Professor Zhang Bohai Prof Zhang was the chairency rescue unit of radioactive incident, as well as the anizations like radioactivecare society This member of authority would lead the other ency rescue and healthy safety measures required in this mission “The symptoms of the two patients are sis do not suggest the influence of the supernatural We believe that the surgeries can be conducted as nor concluded, “The earlier the surgery is done, the better”

Everyone nodded Tian Fuhou ery without anaesthetic His spirit h the roof wang Ruoxiang nodded slightly This was her first mission since she returned to the Spell Departe

One of the biggest challenges for these two surgeries were the extreears that all the doctors and nurses were required to wear Prof Zhang would not personally join the operation Theand Tan Bo, both experienced surgeons Both surgeries were assigned attending Spell Department members to deal with possible supernatural accidents After coeons set up their individual surgical plans with their own tea was over, the doctors ical rooed behind Studying the hed Tian Fuhou’s right ar several hundred acres of land, was about to be sawn off

“Zixuan, don’t worry,” wang Ruoxiang patted the shoulder of her old friend, “With or without radiation, your hair is fated to be gone”

Over the two years, she had changed a lot but she still had a glossy head of hair

“You’re right about that” Cai Zixuan touched his bald head with a shten the mood The two ht but their battle was just starting
