Watching the syringe in his hand pierce into the vein of his arm, Todd slowly pushed the wooden push rod. The power of "clairvoyance" and "Eagle Eye" allowed him to see with his own eyes that there was a large amount of "Sutherland Archaea".
The liquid flowed into his blood vessels.
In the following days, he had to take blood tests every morning and evening. What finally made him relieved was that there was no sign of archaeal mutation in his body. In addition, there was an unexpected surprise.
, the reproduction rate of other heterogeneous bacteria in the body actually decreased and eventually stagnated.
By observing the blood samples under a microscope, he also found the reason. The influx of a large number of "Sutherland Archaea" caused all the heterogeneous bacteria to be locked and imprisoned, naturally unable to continue to reproduce.
After confirming the effect of "Sutherland Archaea", Todd collected data, designed a plan, and planned to start fulfilling his original promise: to help Huggins and Edgar solve the poisoning problem of heterogeneous bacteria.
When he left the laboratory and was about to go out, a large group of people gathered at the door of the church attracted his attention.
Someone discovered him and shouted: "The priest is here!"
People rushed forward and surrounded him.
Todd looked at the anxious expressions of everyone and wondered in his heart. Although he had not appeared in the church for nearly three weeks, if he wanted to confess or pray, he could just go to the deacon and catechumens. Why was he so eager to find out?
After a little questioning, he understood what was going on.
These people came to him to register the sacred bone transaction.
As he said at the beginning, holy bones worth one silver month could be bought and sold freely, but they had to come to the church to register. But when he actually opened the record book and started to register, he realized that something was wrong.
The trading price of these people's sacred bones actually dropped from 1 silver moon to 95 bronze stars, and the lowest even dropped to 92 bronze stars.
When Todd asked why the sacred bones were sold at such a low price, the seller had a shy look on his face and hesitated but refused to speak.
Todd, who is quite good at observing people, saw this scene and suddenly understood. It turned out that these people saw that three weeks had passed and there was no return from the "Muxi Mutual Aid Fund", so they became anxious, regretted, and wanted to get rid of it in a hurry.
Holy bones.
The priest said nothing in front of everyone, and calmly helped everyone complete the registration procedures. Then he left the church and rushed to the large warehouse in the town where "rose grafting" was performed.
To his surprise, the town's guards treated the warehouse completely like a camp. It was surrounded by horseback guards, bell traps were set up at the entrances and exits, and wooden lookouts were built at the four corners. Anyone who came close would be reprimanded.
leave.
Apart from the farmers and the escort team, the only people who can enter are themselves.
Thirty-two pots of grafted roses were placed on the square outside the warehouse, bathing in the sunshine and enjoying the breeze.
Thirty-two farmers, with their wives and children, stood or squatted beside each pot of flowers. They fertilized, weeded, kept fresh, dewormed, and watered, with careful movements and caring expressions. Look at that appearance.
All I have to do is offer these flowers to my ancestors...
Todd found Huggins here. It seems that these days, this man who was once a knight of the Silver Ring Kingdom has adhered to his mission and responsibilities and never left this warehouse. Moved, the former motioned to the latter to wait a little later.
Let's go to the laboratory together to discuss something very important.
Putting aside Huggins' matters for the time being, Todd went to each rose plant and observed the grafting situation. The survival rate of the branches was about 75%. For a first attempt, this number was neither good nor bad.
Poor. Most of the rose branches have begun to bud, and a small number of them have already shown signs of budding. I believe that in three weeks, you will be able to see the first bunch of roses blooming.
Todd then directed the farmers to cut off all the branches that failed to be grafted. He told them several times but no one took action. In desperation, he could only do it himself. The farmers who were responsible for taking care of the roses were sad when they saw the priest's actions.
They cried and screamed, and some people even used their bodies to protect the flower pots.
Todd really didn't understand. He repeatedly explained that only by cutting off these withered branches can the remaining buds grow better.
Still no one listened to him, so in the end he had no choice but to let the guards set up the farmers, and he completed the pruning work himself.
Ignoring the grief-stricken farmers and women, Todd and Huggins returned to the laboratory.
Upon entering the door of the laboratory, the former first took off the latter's gloves and observed the poisoning situation of the "weakness" ability. Compared with last time, the physical poisoning and atrophy were more serious, and some bacteria had even invaded.
Near the shoulder joint.
There is no doubt that the use of "Sutherland Archaea" can heal Huggins' arm and prevent the spread of poisoning. But Todd is still hesitant because of two points.
First, once Archaea is injected into Huggins, it means that the other party will officially transform from a heterogeneous species to a member of the "Successor". Todd does not know whether the other party will have changes in values and morals as a result.
Second, "Sutherland Archaea" has the characteristics of killing and mutating humans. Although injection experiments have been carried out on mice, this is the first time to experiment with human dose. If too much archaea is injected, it may
This will cause Huggins to be unable to resist and die immediately; however, if too little archaea is injected, it may cause the balance of "Sutherland Archaea" and "weak" bacteria in Huggins to be disrupted, causing mutations to occur.
After telling the man these concerns, the man didn't seem worried at all. He just folded up his sleeves and said this to Todd, who was holding a syringe.
"I have already died once. Even if I die again, I will only fulfill the contract of the God of Death."
Looking at the other party's determined eyes, Todd nodded and inserted the needle of the syringe into Huggins' skin.
The first batch of "Sutherland Archaea" was injected into Huggins' body. Although the dose of bacteria had been reduced, the other party's painful struggle and mournful wailing was like being tortured by eternal fire in hell. Let's face it.
Todd once thought that he was going to fail. However, the man survived in the end.
In the next few days, Todd observed Huggins's blood while injecting him with "Sutherland Archaea" several times. In less than four days, the black air on the opponent's palm gradually subsided, and the withered flesh slowly
There are slowly signs of recovery.
Three more days later, Huggins' blood values showed that his vital signs were normal, and Todd finally told him that you were safe.
On this day, in the long history of history, Huggins became the first alien species to be saved by the artificial "Sutherland Archaea".
