Following the trail to the root of the vine, the "Intelligence Team" finally discovered the traces of Xia Ji and others in Jiaming Town, but were attacked by the Parasitic Species, leaving only one survivor.
The condition of this survivor was not very optimistic, not only had he fallen into a coma, but he was also running a high fever, occasionally uttering nonsensical phrases unconsciously.
In a secret camp just outside the town, three emergency experts surrounding the "Intelligence Team" member all had furrowed brows. They had done their best, but still found the situation extremely troublesome.
Dozens of electrode patches covered the survivor's body, with different monitoring devices on his wrists, heart area, neck, and head.
"This guy has been parasitized, there's a clear presence of foreign bodies inside him."
"Can we surgically peel it off?"
"It's difficult; the nervous system has already fused. Only if the foreign body actively detaches."
