"So that's how it is."

After a period of time followed by a soft sigh, Blade Warrior felt a mix of helplessness and a multitude of emotions... It turned out to be the item that Feng Yi entrusted to her, reminiscing about the life-threatening difficulties they faced years ago on Death Planet, the memories still vivid in her mind. Time flies so fast, it truly is...

Blade Warrior wasn't the sentimental type, what was in the past stayed in the past. Certain people and events were meant to be just kept in corners of the heart.

Holding a hint of heavy emotion and after having briefly sent Mengdie away, she quickly focused her attention on Eggy, wondering why it wasn't responding. Had it broken? She and Eggy had known each other for hundreds of years, and even if they didn't see eye to eye all the time, she couldn't just stand by and do nothing, especially since it was Feng Yi who asked Mengdie to pass it on.

Unfortunately, the internal structure of Eggy was too complex and after testing repeatedly all night, she finally found the reason. It was just overly exhausted and had fallen into a deep sleep, which might last for several months.

Oh well, might as well help it a bit. Such a troublesome little rascal.

So after what could be described as Pikachu's one hundred thousand volts of numerous recharging attempts, the little dinosaur abruptly opened its eyes and started bawling, thinking that it would never wake up again, which made Blade Warrior want to brutally squash this adorable little pudding. But instead, she just kicked Eggy away with the shout, "Quiet!"

"Fuck, I'm going all out with you!"

Eggy, with eyes wide in anger, rolled over and over right to Blade Warrior's feet and began furiously pounding...

Yita was stunned... Who would have thought that this round meatball could spew such foul language, completely powerless in combat, yet daring to use an egg to hit a rock, reaching high up with each strike.

Bang...

The rubber dinosaur was instantly stomped under Blade Warrior's foot, unable to move. "The lady's got no time to deal with this."

It was then Eggy realized Feng Yi wasn't around and urgently yelled, "Big brother, save me, big brother!" But no matter how it called, there was no response. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Eggy didn't hesitate to bite down on Blade Warrior's toe, demonstrating its fearless spirit against oppression.

The pain stimulated Blade Warrior to let out a cry of agony, "You little..."

"Goodbye then." Before Blade Warrior could finish, the creature had already taken out a light transfer from its belly and forcefully slapped its dinosaur butt, disappearing into a flash of light.

"You big blockhead! I, want, to, kill, you…" Blade Warrior uttered each word distinctly, filling the room with a resoundingly high decibel.

Dragon Gate Space Station

The Mecha Battle competition wouldn't halt just because Kexiao left, the fierce fighting was still ongoing, and although people's enthusiasm had dimmed considerably, it only settled down after the host, Saudi officials announced there was an accident with the Savior mecha and explained the situation.

Bofei Neutral Country is located in the northwest galaxies of Bermuda, boasting the highest GDP per capita in the world. Despite its small territory, Bofei's uniquely abundant crystal mine reserves far exceed those of other nations — the crystals being the primary factor driving its people toward affluence.

Over the years, a huge amount of export recycling has birthed countless magnates in this lucky land, and Xiao Ming's family was born into wealth in Bofei.

That day, having just turned nine, he had come early with his mother to the Bofei competition area to wait for the battles. Since Xiao Ming had achieved good results in his graduation exam this year, his loving mother had finally decided to fulfill her child's wish from the day before yesterday.

Unfortunately, due to the severe epidemic, Saudi had already closed all major passages. However, in this world, there was nothing money couldn't solve; if money couldn't solve it, then there simply wasn't enough of it — money could buy lives and influence. In this greedy era where money reigned supreme, it could even buy the highest leader of a power. The ancient saying was truly wise: with money, the devil pushes the grindstone, and who cares about a deluge after I'm dead?

Because of money, a handful of foreigners still managed to sneak into the space station during this sensitive time.

Xiao Ming's family was a typical example, although, from the morning of the day before yesterday, Xiao Ming began exhibiting symptoms of headache and fever. Fortunately, it was just a cold, and taking some antipyretics had an immediate effect...

The next day, the symptoms recurred in the afternoon, but nothing could be diagnosed. In truth, Xiao Ming's mother hadn't taken it seriously until the third day, which was this morning during the time to watch the battles when Xiao Ming unexpectedly coughed up blood, sending his mother into panic. How could a young boy suddenly cough up blood?

Coughing blood is a situation that only happens in late-stage lung cancer patients. Currently, there are four methods of treatment for lung cancer. The first method, the grassroots approach and the most cost-effective, is to remove a large portion of the lungs and isolate the mildly dispersed areas with medication, implanting a fake lung to replace every three years. The downside to this method is that it would cause the blood circulation system to be restricted.

The second method is artificial transplantation, which isn't the transplantation surgery of the early days but a new method, usually used by officials or wealthy capitalists, and is extremely costly. In short, it involves taking healthy lungs from pigs and dogs, transforming and filtering them through stem cell cultivation to install in the human body. Because the transformation process takes a long time, ordinary people can't afford it. However, the upside is, due to the different evolutionary directions between humans and animals, organs from livestock tend to function more effectively than human ones.

The third method is through medication that suppresses the mutation of cancer cells. As is well-known, cancer cells are body cells that mutate during continuous division, and to curb this mutation, current technology enables cells to be put to sleep through a combined method of Eastern and Western medicine. There is one disadvantage: this causes the already underdeveloped pain nerves in the lungs to completely fall asleep. Even if something unexpected happens, you won't be able to feel it. Normally, of course, the lungs of humans wouldn't encounter accidents.

As for the fourth method, it involves some risk, and people generally don't recommend using it unless absolutely necessary. It employs thermotherapy, electrotherapy, stimulation, among many unknown methods to boost metabolism, speed up antibody production. Of course, this is just a first step. There's no actual solution for cancer cell antibodies, because cancer cells are part of your body.

And so, the methods above can only be seen as preliminary. The most crucial step is to stimulate cancer cells through various technical means to make them active and mutated; this action probabilistically allows antibodies to distinguish and eradicate cancer cells. By this method, when you notice your body temperature suddenly rising, that's actually the antibodies fighting the cancer cells.

This depends on the individual; some people with sensitive bodies will be stimulated, while others won't. Usually, those who seldom receive injections or take medication have the highest probability to have their antibodies activated, otherwise not so much.

With the current level of scientific understanding, cancer isn't considered incurable, nor is AIDS considered a major illness. The reason for their persistence is because people fail to maintain good personal hygiene, and the long incubation period of viruses is the main reason why viruses can't be completely eradicated. If a virus's incubation period lasts from several weeks to several months, then it could permanently coexist with humanity.

But Xiao Ming was different! He was still a child; how could he possibly have cancer? Thus, his compassionate mother instantly associated the issue with the epidemic outbreak itself, questioning if that might be the cause. Not until the third day, when people around them also began to show symptoms like coughing, did the matter receive significant attention from the competition organizers!

In less than an hour, both the local competition zone and the surrounding passages were completely sealed off, and the original noisy competition venue became chaotic due to discussions about the epidemic. Was Dragon Gate's Space Station No. 17 really not spared?

Humans often think they are the masters of this world, but indeed, when disaster strikes, a seemingly insignificant virus can plunge the whole world into crisis, proving once again the words of a certain philosopher—countries had thought they had closed all the gaps, yet the plague erupted on a large scale the next day.
