"Impossible, I clearly expelled that power, how could this happen!"

Shi Shi's voice carried a hint of urgency; she couldn't accept that her power was ineffective.

Feeling anxious, she couldn't help but apply more force with her hands.

Jiang Xiao and the others nearby could all feel that Shi Shi was exerting all her strength without holding back.

That frenzied power caused the doctors in the room to sweat coldly, fearing that this little ancestor might kill them all in a fit of anger.

Jiang Xiao's brow was furrowed tightly; he kept observing Shi Shi's actions, secretly pondering the reason behind it.

"Shi Shi, stop for now," he said softly.

Shi Shi's movements paused, her eyes filled with confusion and unwillingness.

Jiang Xiao walked to her side and gently patted her shoulder.

"The power inside the patient is clearly resisting your power, indicating that it's continuously evolving, or rather, it's learning how to counter us."

Niu Jieshi and Wang Dayong also came over, their faces filled with worry as they shared the same eerie feeling.

"So what should we do?" Wang Dayong asked.

Jiang Xiao pondered for a moment before slowly speaking.

"I'm not a doctor, and your powers will only make it evolve, so let's let the doctors handle it first."

.....

Headache~

Leaving the ward, Jiang Xiao returned to the rooftop once again.

Why is it so difficult?

Clueless.

As a mere mortal, I'm now burdened with the task of saving the world; it's truly overwhelming.

Shortly after reaching the rooftop, Jiang Xiao was called down by Niu Jieshi; the doctors said they found something new.

When Jiang Xiao arrived, he realized it wasn't a new discovery at all, but a larger problem.

The area of fusion between the patient's legs was increasing.

And the strangest thing was.

In the fusion area, there was only one bone left.

How should I describe this...

Let's put it this way, each leg of a human has a thigh bone.

But in the area where the patient's legs were fused, only one bone remained.

However, in the areas that hadn't fused yet, there were still two legs each with its own thigh bone.

"Where are his bones?"

"I don't know."

The doctor was honest, saying that's the reason they called Jiang Xiao over.

I'm not a doctor!

These people and the doctor are all in the same dead-end; why ask me about phenomena that even experts don't understand?

"We're leaving! I'll report your situation truthfully, but we currently don't have any solutions."

Not staying any longer!

This feeling is too disgusting.

Anyway, Jiang Xiao felt like he was going to have nausea like pregnancy sickness from all this.

Constantly pushed by that damn "god".

The group decisively and temporarily left the hospital amidst repeated pleas from a large group of doctors.

"Rest assured, if we find anything or make any progress, we'll definitely come back to help you!"

From the helicopter, Shi Shi waved goodbye to the medical staff below.

....

When Jiang Xiao and his team arrived over Hu Gang, they found that this 'dead city' ravaged by the virus was now showing signs of vitality.

The scene of empty streets was gone, replaced by a few scattered pedestrians.

Their steps were hurried, but their faces showed a long-lost enthusiasm.

Jiang Xiao's gaze swept over the streets, seeing the shops long covered in dust reopening.

In front of a milk tea shop, a long line formed, and the staff busily made cup after cup of milk tea, handing them to the waiting customers.

Not far, the hot pot restaurant was also bustling, with waiters in aprons busily carrying steaming hot pots to the tables.

The small snack stalls at the street corner attracted quite a few food lovers, with the aroma of pancakes and skewers making mouths water.

However, Jiang Xiao noticed that these residents, whether standing or walking, were somewhat awkward.

Some walked with their bodies slightly leaning forward, as if they might fall at any moment.

Others had heavy steps as if each step required great effort.

Their body sizes varied, with some appearing thinner than regular people and others abnormally obese.

Jiang Xiao's brow furrowed slightly; he sensed that these abnormalities weren't simply due to fatigue or weakness from long illness recovery.

Instead, it seemed some unknown factor was affecting their bodies.

"It seems that the virus's influence is deeper than we anticipated," Jiang Xiao muttered to himself.

Is it really planning to annihilate humanity?

Jiang Xiao felt that these human body changes were likely the same as those of the two people in the hospital.

Eventually, their bodies would undergo irreversible transformation.

Despite wanting to save them, Jiang Xiao felt powerless.

Medicine can't "save" them.

If only they could find that "god" behind it all, then deal with it, everything should return to normal.

But after so much has happened, Jiang Xiao couldn't help but feel uncertain.

How could I possibly confront such an existence even if it appeared before me?

Returning to the base, they found that during their absence, the base had become even more lively.

With a little inquiry, they learned that it was because Dr. Peng's mentor, Mr. Peng, had arrived.

He wasn't invited by b2 but came on his own upon learning of the sudden death of his favorite student through other channels.

Jiang Xiao saw Mr. Peng.

Honestly, judging by appearance, he seemed over eighty, now sitting with a troubled face in the room once occupied by the doctor.

"Mr. Peng had no children, and his wife died young in an accident; he never married again and dedicated his life to medicine, with the doctor being his proudest and favorite student. It's safe to say that, in Mr. Peng's heart, the doctor was like a son without blood ties..."

b2 came to Jiang Xiao's side, explaining to him.

Another unfortunate soul~

Jiang Xiao shook his head, then returned to his room to rest with Shi Shi, though their physical and Spirit strength meant sleep wasn't necessary.

But it's like mythological gods able to forgo eating but still enjoying meals, out of habit.

"You are Jiang God, right?"

At this moment, Mr. Peng inside the room looked up at Jiang Xiao, forcing a smile to greet him.

"Yes, about the doctor... I'm sorry; maybe I bear some responsibility for his death as well."

Mr. Peng shook his head, with an expression of reluctance to speak, finally turning into a sigh.

"Do you need to rest?"

"Yes."

"Alright, when you're rested, could you come see me? There are things others might not understand."

Not understand?

Understood.

Jiang Xiao remembered the history professor Mr. Yang; what he said couldn't be heard clearly by others, only by Shi Shi and himself.
