Chapter 171 – 171: Upgrading the Version
“Kid, can you cure this disease?”
The bearded man rudely pushed Chen Yu’s shoulder.
It was only then that Chen Yu reacted, realizing he had more than a dozen different plans in his mind to simply remove such fungal substances.
But to extract the radioactive material from this guy’s body, he couldn’t do it in a short time.
“I can cure it, but I need time!”
“Good!” The bearded man excitedly slapped Chen Yu’s shoulder, “In that case, come with us!”
Afterwards, the bearded man ordered all the villagers they had just captured to be released, taking only Chen Yu back to Angluna.
After all, he wasn’t running a shelter. Since these people were all sick, there was no need for him to burden himself further.
It wasn’t until the caravan had left that Ka Jinwen and Jin Lingsu crawled out of the wooden hut.
“What do we do now? Mr. Chen’s trip looks more dangerous than lucky.”
Ka Jinwen immediately started pacing anxiously. If anything happened to Chen Yu, William’s family wouldn’t let him off the hook.
Jin Lingsu, however, appeared quite calm. Knowing Chen Yu as she did, she suspected that all this was within Chen Yu’s control.
Sure enough, a message arrived on the device on both their wrists at the same time.
“Wait for my signal, we will coordinate from inside and out!”
They both breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, Chen Yu was now in Angluna, and their plan had gotten off to a good start.
Long ago, Angluna was one of the few small cities within the Arctic Circle.
Since the discovery of rare minerals, the economic value of the place had risen. Even with its harsh environment, the small city was gradually expanding.
Eventually, a power established its own nation here and developed independently.
When the caravan entered Angluna, Chen Yu felt as if he had suddenly entered a world of eternal night.
The aurora on the horizon constantly swayed, its radiance bringing brilliant illumination to the night.
Chen Yu subconsciously calculated in his mind that this latitude was in a state of polar night.
Although he came here on a mission, witnessing such a magical sight made the journey worthwhile.
The vehicle soon stopped at a campsite, where the previous bearded man dragged Chen Yu into the camp.
“Everyone here has the same illness. As long as you can cure them, you can ask us for anything.”
Chen Yu looked around and saw at least two thousand people, all of them young and able-bodied.
Even with rare minerals, such a small Arctic city couldn’t possibly gather so many people at once.
And these were just the sick ones. Based on the contagion rate of the disease, the working force still at work must be at least ten thousand strong.
Just then, a tall figure suddenly entered the camp.
“What’s going on here? Why are there more and more people? What happened to the doctors we brought in before?”
The bearded man hurried forward, “Mr. Bell, the previous doctors were incompetent and have been executed. We just found another one, and he should be able to…”
Bell snorted coldly, “I’ll give you three more days. If these patients aren’t cured by then, dispose of them all. Don’t let them interfere with the progress of the mine.”
With that, Bell turned and left.
The bearded man nodded repeatedly and then rushed to Chen Yu.
