Soon, Lan Xi led Su Mo towards the depths of the medical area.

She took Su Mo into a separate locked room.

Inside the room was a giant ring-shaped medical device. Although it looked old, its construction indicated that it was a very advanced piece of equipment.

"This equipment is impressive."

Su Mo looked the giant medical device up and down.

"Of course, it's impressive. This device was excavated by the expedition team from an abandoned base. It was produced by Star Ring City in its early years and is considered top-notch. The only drawback is that it consumes a lot of energy stones each time it's activated."

Lan Xi explained as she carefully adjusted the equipment.

"Uh, actually, it doesn't have to be so troublesome. I reckon I just haven't been sleeping well lately due to too much pressure. Why don't you just prescribe some sleeping pills for me?"

Su Mo replied, feeling a little apprehensive.

"No, take off all your clothes."

Lan Xi replied with unusual firmness.

"This, isn't that a little inappropriate?"

Su Mo felt even more awkward.

"When did you become so fussy? Don't worry, doctors see you all the same whether you're wearing clothes or not."

Lan Xi replied with a smile.

Seeing that Lan Xi had said so, Su Mo couldn't refuse, so he gritted his teeth and took off his shirt.

Lan Xi glanced at Su Mo's body, and her expression suddenly changed drastically. Disregarding the equipment adjustments, she quickly walked up to Su Mo.

She reached out and kept feeling the pollution marks protruding on Su Mo's body. She was shocked for a moment, her eyes turned slightly red, and she said with a trembling voice.

"How can there be so many pollution marks?"

"Hey, it's nothing, I don't feel uncomfortable."

Seeing Lan Xi's strong reaction, Su Mo comforted her with a smile.

"What do you mean it's nothing? It's so serious, and you say it's nothing? Haven't you received treatment?"

Lan Xi asked with a hint of anger in her voice.

"Hey, it's not like treatment has any effect, so I haven't been treating it much. Anyway, it can't be cured, so I didn't bother."

Su Mo explained with some guilt.

"Nonsense, there's no such thing as an incurable disease in this world. We just haven't found a way yet. Go lie down!"

Lan Xi replied somewhat angrily.

"Okay, okay."

Seeing that Lan Xi was a little angry, Su Mo quickly lay down.

Soon, Lan Xi adjusted the equipment and started it. The whole machine made a buzzing sound, and a soft blue light began to scan Su Mo's body in all directions.

Lan Xi kept staring at the operation screen, constantly entering commands.

The whole room was unusually quiet, which made Su Mo feel a little uncomfortable. He broke the silence with a smile.

"Actually, you don't have to force yourself. It's okay if it doesn't work."

"Shut up. You're almost on your deathbed, and you're still in the mood to joke. We're using a new standard to define the pollution value in a person's body, called the CCr index. Normal people mutate and go crazy at 1,000 points. Your CCr index has already reached 30,000+. Although you haven't mutated yet, some local organs are already abnormal and deviate from the normal range."

Lan Xi explained with great concern.

"Ah, really? But I don't feel any discomfort, except occasionally."

Su Mo couldn't help feeling uneasy. It's true that you don't know until you check, and you'll be shocked when you do.

"If you continue like this, there are only two possible outcomes. Either you suddenly fall and become a monster, or you may mutate into a new individual."

"It's not that serious, is it? I feel like my body is still okay!"

"Do you think I'm joking with you? I've been focusing on the study of negative energy mutation in the human body on the front lines for the past few years. I dare not say that I'm better than the physicians in Star Ring City, but I'm definitely better than the physicians in normal civilizations."

Lan Xi said with a solemn expression.

"Then what should I do?"

Su Mo asked awkwardly.

"I'll prescribe two kinds of medicine for you. One is a soothing agent that I've formulated, which should be able to slow down the growth of your negative energy. The other is a drug called CfsC-01. This drug is a new type of drug that I extracted and synthesized from certain monsters on Ceres. If you feel out of control one day, take one tablet."

As Lan Xi spoke, she got up and walked to the safe in the corner, and began to enter the key to open it.

*Di da*

The safe suddenly opened, revealing densely packed medicine bottles.

Lan Xi accurately took out the bottles one by one and began to configure them.

The more Su Mo looked at it, the more curious he became. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Lan Xi, let me ask you something."

"Go ahead."

Lan Xi replied calmly.

"Have you ever heard of a fruit called the Para Fruit? It is said to be produced on Ceres."

Su Mo inquired with anticipation.

Lan Xi was slightly startled. She thought about it carefully, and then said to Su Mo, "I haven't heard of it, but I can help you keep an eye out."

"Uh, okay. By the way, do you think it's really possible for fruit to grow in such a harsh environment on Ceres?"

Su Mo humbly asked Lan Xi for advice.

"Yes, monsters are also life. Since so many monsters can survive on Ceres, it proves that it is not a dead star. The so-called suitable environment is different for different races, and the standards are different. Ceres is harsh for us, but for some special species of life, it is a planet suitable for survival."

Lan Xi explained her research insights to Su Mo.

"Oh, I see."

Su Mo fell into thought. It seemed that the Para Fruit really existed, but Ceres was so big, he didn't know how long it would take to find it.

While Su Mo was in a daze, Lan Xi walked up to Su Mo, picked up the prepared medicine, and handed Su Mo an unlabeled medicine bottle.

"Take one of these soothing agents a week, and remember what I said about this CfsC-01 drug. Don't take it unless absolutely necessary. Take one tablet at a time. It's very harmful to the body."

"Okay."

"I will develop new anti-pollution drugs here. If there are any better inhibitors developed, I will ask someone to send them to you."

"Alright."

Su Mo was not polite.

At this moment, Lan Xi's bracelet vibrated.

She glanced at the pop-up message and said to Su Mo, "I have a more serious patient, so I have to go first. I won't keep you company."

"Okay, take care of yourself too."

Su Mo nodded in reply.

"Yeah, you too."

Lan Xi nodded in response. Before leaving, she took a deep look at Su Mo, and then turned and left.

Su Mo stood there, looking at Lan Xi's leaving figure. For a moment, he was filled with emotion. Everything had really changed. Back then, she was just a weak woman who had to bow her head for the sake of life, but now she had grown into a strong woman who could stand on her own.

"Alas, time waits for no one! It can never go back."

......

Not long after, Su Mo left the medical area. He looked at the medicine bottle he was holding in his hand and felt warm in his heart.

At this time, the low voice of False Creator·Devourer sounded.

"I scanned the medicine that girl gave you. It's pretty good. Although it doesn't cure the root cause, it's better than nothing."

"That's right."

Su Mo nodded.
