Chapter 172 – 172: Bite Back

Chen Yu sighed helplessly and could only instruct the person beside him to start preparing the medicinal materials.

No matter what, the patients’ wounds had to be addressed before considering radiation, and once they had dealt with the issues here, the relevant departments would naturally take care of the radiation for them.

The resources of Angluna were much more abundant than other Arctic towns, not only could they find a variety of deep-sea fish, but also the herbs Chen Yu needed.

After a night of busyness, by the next morning, nearly all the patients’ injuries began to subside.

Some with milder symptoms could even walk on the ground.

However, Chen Yu knew this was only temporary.

His medicine had only eradicated the fungal spores within the patients’ bodies, and could not remove the radiation from them.

Although the fungi caused large areas of ulceration on their bodies, at least they blocked some of the radiation from the outside.

But now that the fungi were completely killed, the radiation was pervading their organs with impunity.

In the long term, their bodies would experience varying degrees of failure, and even cancerous changes.

When the bearded man arrived at the camp, he grabbed Chen Yu’s shoulders excitedly and kept shaking him.

“I never expected someone as young as you to be such an excellent doctor, curing diseases that many doctors shy away from.”

Chen Yu managed to squeeze out a smile, “I’ve just studied these diseases before, and there should be a source of the fungus here. It must be found in the shortest time possible, otherwise the sickness will recur.”

The bearded man nodded repeatedly, “We’ve already found the source. Come with me.”

With that, the bearded man took Chen Yu to a nearby mine.

At that moment, Bell was dressed in a protective suit and a mask, standing on a railing and watching the progress below.

When Chen Yu entered, he was also given a protective suit symbolically.

[System Warning: Radiation levels at this location are dangerously above standards. Host credits have been depleted, triggering emergency self-rescue provisions.]

Chen Yu frowned, for since last night, the electromagnetic induction shield had been up for thirteen hours.

After the system cleared his credits, he could maintain the shield for less than half an hour more.

But that emergency self-rescue provision was somewhat puzzling to Chen Yu.

When he bound the system, he hadn’t seen any related provisions.

However, he couldn’t afford to think about that now. All the workers in the mine were working without any protective measures, some of them covered only with a tattered cloth.

From a distance, these people looked like walking corpses, some of them already covered with numerous pustules, on the verge of ulceration.

Bell slowly got up and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

“Please, in the shortest time, cure these workers too. I will be very grateful.”

Chen Yu didn’t say much, just nodded and walked down.

Only then did he realize that the workers were carrying plutonium ore!

This ore, a key material for making dirty bombs, had a radiation index even higher than uranium ore.

Most importantly, the quantity of this ore was massive, enough to make thousands of dirty bombs if all transported out.

Just at that moment, the device on Chen Yu’s wrist emitted a slight vibration.
