A transparent object separates the operating table, which is sterile.
Zhu Qinghong and the other three stood in the corner of the operating room, patiently waiting for the results.
It took six hours of trial and error.
Ono presented one detailed report after another, and the three of them frowned.
[The characteristics of this kind of parasitic demon are as follows: 1. It spreads through the air and through the respiratory tract. 2. It matures into eggs in three months and first parasitizes the heart. 3. The parasitized human body has no obvious characteristics. 4. It has extremely strong reproductive ability. 5.
Unable to parasitize priests.]
This type of parasitic demon has a fragile life, but has a strong reproductive capacity. After being inhaled into the human body, it flows from the blood to the heart. It takes root in the heart to absorb nutrients, breaks its shell, grows, and finally reproduces. It can be seen that the parasitic demon reproduces asexually.
[One thing worth noting is that it can not only parasitize the human body, but also the body of demons. Master, our people need to conduct a comprehensive investigation as soon as possible. No matter you have been in contact with demons or people, you may be parasitized. If it is discovered late, the consequences will be disastrous.

Lu Yaoye's wound was sewn up and he came over while putting on his clothes: "Why does it sound so serious? Our two countries are very far apart."
"It's not a matter of distance, but the parasitic people or demons will spread it unconsciously." Zhu Qinghong immediately sent a message to Yuanyou, "All the people of the Yunhong Dynasty go to the doctor for blood drawing. No shirk, no avoidance, violation of the rules."
They will be deported."
Su Rui was worried: "Did the demon eat the internal organs when it was in the human body? What will happen to that person in the end?"
[The human body completely occupied by parasitic demons will appear in a weathered state after reaching a critical point. Tiny parasitic demons are scattered in the air and blown everywhere by the wind. Do you know dandelions? It is spread in the same way.]
"Weathering state?" Fang Youan was confused.
Is that what he meant? If so, it would be too scary.
[The inner structure disintegrates and loses all signs of life. A small touch will turn it into fly ash.]
Like rocks weathering into powder.
It is an irreversible state. When a person reaches that point, it is difficult for gods to save him.
Su Rui, Fang Youan and Lu Yaoye were shocked.
It's so terrifying, invisible and intangible. It's much more difficult to deal with than some national-level monster.
Zhu Qinghong turned around and ordered: "Su Rui, go back and take charge of the overall situation. The country's major affairs cannot tolerate any troublemakers."
"Yes." Su Rui accepted the order and immediately returned to Tianchong City through the space gate.
On the Zi Feng side, Zhu Qinghong first called Xiao Shixing to explain the situation. This person was somewhat special, and the priest's power had been suppressed.
Ono finished the experiment and handed in the report.
Xiao Shixing was not parasitized.
Zhu Qinghong was relieved and frowned at the same time: "Your sister has been with the emperor for many years. She..."
Being so close to the source, the situation is not optimistic. Xiao Shixing immediately knelt down: "Please do your best, Your Majesty."
"I will. But you have to know that we can't save the entire people of Zi Feng Kingdom." Zhu Qinghong ordered Lu Yaoye to go to Xiao Mansion to collect blood.
This matter cannot be made public and can only be carried out secretly. If the enemy is alerted, the emperor will find ways to drive them away. After Xiao Shixing has been away for so many years, I am afraid that no one in the Zi Feng Kingdom will be spared and they will all be parasitized.
If the emperor is interested, he will definitely respond to his call.
They have the strength to resist, but what about the Xiao family?
If the parasitic demon inside the body breaks out early, what if we choose to die together?
Saving people all over the country from a parasitic monster's lair is simply nonsense. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and very thankless.
What's more, there are still hidden dangers in the Yunhong Dynasty that are being investigated, and they can't take care of the Zifeng Kingdom. The most Zhu Qinghong can agree to is to rescue everyone in the Xiao family.
Xiao Shixing lowered his head and remained silent.
I don’t know how things developed like this. He would rather the emperor be truly selfish and ruthless than this...
Night.
Lu Yaoye brought back the Xiao family's blood, and Ono examined them one by one. Sure enough, they were all parasitized. Fortunately, they could still be saved, but the old lady was already old.
Zhu Qinghong said bluntly: "The old lady is old. Even if the demon is exterminated, she will still linger on the bedside."
There are still sequelae after the cure of ordinary diseases, let alone the parasitic demon in the heart. Everyone who removes the demon will be worse than before.
The elderly may not be able to survive it, and even if they survive it, life in the future will not be easy.
"You guys should discuss it carefully and decide whether to cure it or not." Zhu Qinghong got up and returned to the palace, telling Xiao Mingyue exactly what happened.
Blood was taken and Ono tested it.
Xiao Mingyue waited patiently for the results: "In addition to airborne transmission, are there other methods?"
"Yes. Airborne transmission is the main method, and there is also close contact..." Zhu Qinghong took a sip of milk tea.
Skin-to-skin contact, how close.
Xiao Mingyue knew that she could not escape being parasitized, but she was worried about whether she could be saved. She did not change her temperament drastically, nor did she act recklessly.
Does it mean that the demon's parasitism is not deep enough? Her life is just a little better...
Results will be available soon.
Xiao Mingyue was indeed parasitized, and it was very deep.
She was stunned on the spot as if struck by lightning.
Zhu Qinghong said with relief: "It can be removed, but it will inevitably lead to frailty and illness in the future. If you take good care of it, you can enjoy your old age."
"Weak and sick... How can we treat the weak and sick? Can a cold cough take away half of our life, or is it three breaths in one step?" Xiao Mingyue's eyes filled with tears.
She thought all the hardships would be rewarded, but God played such a big joke on her. What did she do wrong?
Zhu Qinghong couldn’t answer.
If you get rid of the demon, you will be weak and sickly from now on. If you don’t get rid of the demon, you will live in good health for a few years.
It seems that there is a choice, but it seems that there is no choice.
She patted Xiao Mingyue on the shoulder: "Think carefully, I respect your decision."
Xiao Mingyue squatted down with her knees in her arms and burst into tears. Don't ask, she doesn't know what to choose.
She really doesn’t know...
News came from the Xiao family, and Zhu Qinghong rushed back. The old lady was old, so they chose not to remove her.
If you don't remove it, it will only look fine on the surface, but it will be eaten away by demons all the time on the inside. After death, it will weather and make your final contribution to the reproduction of demons.
Zhu Qinghong hesitated to speak, but did not say anything.
Not only do they face a choice, they also need to decide whether to move their family.
The young people of the Xiao family still have a future, so they naturally have to eradicate the demon. After the eradication, in order to prevent further parasitism, they must find another place to live.
Yunhong Dynasty is a good place.
But it is impossible for Zhu Qinghong to allow the parasitized person to enter the country, which means that the old lady cannot go.
So, should the entire Xiao family stay with the old lady, or should she be left here alone? After Zhu Qinghong finished speaking, everyone was silent.
Tough choice.
Zhu Qinghong gave them time to think slowly, hoping to make a decision as soon as possible. After all, she didn't have time to stay longer.
Tian Chong City.
When Su Rui returned, Yuanyou had already issued the order.
Blood drawing points have been set up in various medical clinics, and people across the country must register for blood drawing. No matter how old or young you are, there are no exceptions for people. Most people cooperate and discuss whether it is a temporary examination.
After Su Rui came back, she announced to the outside world that she would prevent the plague. Since it was good for themselves and the country, many people were willing to do so.
Individual thornheads were ruthlessly suppressed and could not make any waves. People lined up in long lines to register for blood draws and what to do after that.
The blood was handed in and Ono was responsible for testing it. Unsurprisingly, there were people who were parasitized.
The captains of the first-class soldiers put on their mechas and personally escorted these people into the specially built hospital. One after another in the operating room, a nurse-hat robot performed the surgery.
All the priests in the country have received the news and know the general situation. As long as parasites appear, they must cooperate and everything will be fine.
Those who want to run away will be rounded up by the priests and imprisoned in specific hospitals. They will also perform surgeries and all will be deported after completion.
No matter how much trouble the family makes or how good they say, national decrees cannot be questioned or changed. As for how they survive outside, it has nothing to do with the Yunhong Dynasty.
Everyone must be responsible for their own actions, and there is no room for joking before national events.
Day by day, more and more parasites are discovered. There are even newborn babies, brought from the mother's womb.
This case is very difficult.
Even after three consecutive surgeries, the child's body became weaker and weaker.
Parents are distressed and shed tears all day long.
The two of them have undergone an operation and are now fine. They are still young and are recovering well.
Su Rui was busy every day, inspecting the latest situations in various places. Yuanyou prepared medicinal materials, and Zhang Wenrong supervised the construction of the new medical center.
"Master Yuan, Master Su, Master Zhang. A more difficult case has appeared, and the patient is a pregnant woman."
"Just got pregnant or are you about to give birth?" Su Rui asked about the specific situation. No matter which case, they have a plan to deal with it.
"Reporting to Mr. Su, the pregnant woman is five months pregnant. It may not be easy to abort or induce labor."
The three of them were stunned, frowning and trying to think of a solution.
Yuanyou asked someone to go down first and take good care of the pregnant woman. He suggested: "How about we wait?"
After the child is born, adults and children will be treated together. Su Rui sent a message: "I'll ask my sister."
Zhu Qinghong learned of the situation and asked Ono to examine the pregnant woman. The pregnant woman was physically weak and had a hard time getting pregnant, but she didn't want to abort it.
Zhu Qinghong rubbed his eyebrows. With such poor physical data, even if he was not parasitized, he might not be able to survive the birth of the child.
"Tell the pregnant woman's family that you can wait until the baby is born before having the surgery, but I'm afraid the adult's chance of survival is very low."
"What about the child? How long can he live after he is born? If he can't live long, it is better to save the adults."
Zhu Qinghong was helpless: "The child is in good condition. I'm not sure how long he will live after he is born."
Su Rui understands.
They will do their best to treat her and see if she can survive. She will immediately arrange for someone to notify her family members.
"Sister, more and more people are confirmed to be parasitized. There are not enough priests, and the soldier captain is too busy."
"I understand." Zhu Qinghong raised his eyes and looked into the distance, "This is a war without smoke."
Su Rui nodded. It is more difficult to deal with than any powerful demon.
This war has damaged the foundation of the dynasty.
Ono is also very busy. He works overtime to make protective clothing similar to mechas and distribute them to the doctors.
With protective clothing, more people can be put to use. However, as the number of people detected to be parasitized increases, protective clothing is gradually insufficient.
Ono complained, there is not enough ore.
"Send out the prospecting robots. Search, search desperately. If you find minerals, dig them out,"
【Okay.】
Ono obediently agreed.
At this special time, everyone is anxious to get angry. It’s better to be good than anything else.
Zi Feng Country.
Xiao Mingyue made a choice and was unwilling to eradicate the demon. After Xiao Shixing heard about it, he ventured into the palace to persuade her.
"Eldest sister, only by living can you have a future. How can we leave you alone? I beg you."
