Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Bite Back

Chen Yu sighed helplessly and could only instruct the person beside him to start preparing the medicinal materials. S~eaʀᴄh the NôᴠelFirё.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

No matter what, the patients' wounds had to be addressed before considering radiation, and once they had dealt with the issues here, the relevant departments would naturally take care of the radiation for them.

The resources of Angluna were much more abundant than other Arctic towns, not only could they find a variety of deep-sea fish, but also the herbs Chen Yu needed.

After a night of busyness, by the next morning, nearly all the patients' injuries began to subside.

Some with milder symptoms could even walk on the ground.

However, Chen Yu knew this was only temporary.

His medicine had only eradicated the fungal spores within the patients' bodies, and could not remove the radiation from them.

Although the fungi caused large areas of ulceration on their bodies, at least they blocked some of the radiation from the outside.

But now that the fungi were completely killed, the radiation was pervading their organs with impunity.

In the long term, their bodies would experience varying degrees of failure, and even cancerous changes.

When the bearded man arrived at the camp, he grabbed Chen Yu's shoulders excitedly and kept shaking him.

"I never expected someone as young as you to be such an excellent doctor, curing diseases that many doctors shy away from."

Chen Yu managed to squeeze out a smile, "I've just studied these diseases before, and there should be a source of the fungus here. It must be found in the shortest time possible, otherwise the sickness will recur."

The bearded man nodded repeatedly, "We've already found the source. Come with me."

With that, the bearded man took Chen Yu to a nearby mine.

At that moment, Bell was dressed in a protective suit and a mask, standing on a railing and watching the progress below.

When Chen Yu entered, he was also given a protective suit symbolically.

[System Warning: Radiation levels at this location are dangerously above standards. Host credits have been depleted, triggering emergency self-rescue provisions.]

Chen Yu frowned, for since last night, the electromagnetic induction shield had been up for thirteen hours.

After the system cleared his credits, he could maintain the shield for less than half an hour more.

But that emergency self-rescue provision was somewhat puzzling to Chen Yu.

When he bound the system, he hadn't seen any related provisions.

However, he couldn't afford to think about that now. All the workers in the mine were working without any protective measures, some of them covered only with a tattered cloth.

From a distance, these people looked like walking corpses, some of them already covered with numerous pustules, on the verge of ulceration.

Bell slowly got up and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder.

"Please, in the shortest time, cure these workers too. I will be very grateful."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just nodded and walked down.

Only then did he realize that the workers were carrying plutonium ore!

This ore, a key material for making dirty bombs, had a radiation index even higher than uranium ore.

Most importantly, the quantity of this ore was massive, enough to make thousands of dirty bombs if all transported out.

Just at that moment, the device on Chen Yu's wrist emitted a slight vibration.

He quickly ducked out of sight of Bell and the overseers, under the pretext of checking on a patient.

The situation has been briefly described above, as well as the mission plan.

The two people who had separated from them earlier did not enter Angluna, but instead met up with Jin Lingsu and the others in a cave on the outskirts of the small town.

Now they have agreed to use high explosives to blow up the entire Angluna, while at the same time killing Bell.

They want Chen Yu to send out all the arrangements inside the city.

Chen Yu couldn't help furrowing his brow, thinking this was simply reckless.

Not to mention that there were so many innocent people in the town, just the explosion of the plutonium ore would create radiation pollution that could contaminate the environment for thousands of kilometers.

It's likely that not even they would be able to escape safely.

Besides, wasn't the previous mission to capture Bell alive? Why the sudden change of plans?

Chen Yu quickly sent out a brief report on the situation inside the city.

It was at that moment that Bell suddenly appeared beside him.

"Doctor Chen, these illnesses should not be difficult for you, right? Could you give me a precise time?"

Chen Yu was startled; Bell had managed to approach him silently, and even the system hadn't given any alerts.

"The workers here are in extremely poor health, and without adequate nutrition, I will need at least three days to heal them."

Bell shook his head: "I can't wait that long, I can only give you one day at most!"

After speaking, Bell left. As he turned away, a strange smile flashed across the corner of his mouth.

On the outskirts of Angluna, Jin Lingsu and Ka Jinwen, dressed in snow gear, were observing the situation in Angluna from atop a small hill.

"Mr. Chen said that there is a large amount of plutonium stored here, at least ten thousand tons. Based on this yield, if we blow this place up, the entire Arctic could be affected."

Jin Lingsu seemed somewhat distracted: "I always feel that those two guys are a bit off. Although the orders were passed on to us through them, this command is really strange."

Ka Jinwen turned over and put a piece of beef jerky into his mouth.

"I find it strange too, but those two are ultimately the organizers of this operation, and we can only comply with their orders."

Jin Lingsu also opened a can: "Where do you think they went when they separated from us earlier? It seems that besides these small towns, there are no other places to stay nearby."

While they were talking, a snowmobile suddenly raced towards them, stopping nearby.

"It's bad; I overheard the conversation between Holm and Nailos. They have been in cahoots with Bell for a long time."

Katherine seemed anxious, walking while pulling out a recording pen from her body.

The conversation of those two guys had already been recorded by her.

After listening, the expressions on Jin Lingsu and Ka Jinwen's faces became somewhat stunned.

It seemed as though those two were planning to broker some kind of deal with Bell here, and now it appeared they intended to buy the plutonium ore.

Just then, an armored snow vehicle came racing in fast.

Holm and Nailos, armed with weapons, jumped down and slowly walked toward the trio.

"We received intelligence that you three, along with Chen Yu, might be colluding with Bell. Now we must follow the orders from above and kill you."

"Nonsense!" Katherine immediately reached for the automatic weapon on her waist: "The ones colluding with Bell are clearly you."
