Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 1033: Chapter 295: False Trust, True Trust (Part 4)

But as soon as the hype around Cai Mo dies down, he will have the chance to come back for revenge, since he’s in the dark and Li Sheng is in the light.

For now, let’s put personal matters aside.

Chen Ming continued to ask about the public affairs that the Spiritual Ability Association is currently handling: "How many Psychics have been exposed to dimensional infection this time? Is the pressure on your side to prevent dimensional infection too great?"

"You don’t need to worry about that, I’ve already made a lot of preparations here."

"Moreover, those Psychics are aware of the risks; their lives are their own, no need to risk it for others."

"We evacuated many people from Yunluo Star at the first sign of trouble. The number of Psychics who weren’t evacuated and actually came into contact with the dimensional infection is not many, and they can all be checked."

"At that time, the names of these individuals will be listed separately, and we will look for opportunities to manage them collectively or separately, just as long as they do not further touch matters related to dimensional infection."

"There’s no need to worry excessively about the prevention issue either."

"The number of people exposed to dimensional infection who can survive will be far fewer than you imagine."

Chen Ming interjected with a question: "About how many Psychics have experienced dimensional infection?"

"Currently, over twenty Psychics have been affected, and counting potential future cases, the total is not expected to exceed forty."

"Ultimately, those who survive may not exceed twenty."

Chen Ming asked in some surprise: "Even the mortality rate among Psychics is this high?"

"Yes, although many contacted the dimensional infection and seemed to leave alive, their survival is only temporary."

"If they cannot consistently use Spiritual Energy to protect themselves until they leave the direct influence zone of the dimensional infection, even half a second of relaxation can allow the infection to fully penetrate their bodies."

"Even with timely treatment, like surgical removal of infected organs, survival rates remain low."

"It’s due to this dimensional infection targeting the intestines; if it were other organs, consequences would be more severe, and the mortality rate would be higher."

"These conclusions come from analyzed data models, and should be fairly accurate compared to real conditions."

Chen Ming hadn’t really delved into how to improve survival rates for Psychics affected by dimensional infection; as far as he knew, only he and the association’s president had survived it, so only the president would specifically research it.

Nonetheless, he suggested an idea: "Can cryosleep temporarily block the spread of dimensional infection?"

"No, while the person is asleep, the dimensional infection won’t stop; once a Psychic is infected, immediate surgery is necessary, any delay could lead to widespread organ infection and spread to other organs."

"When the dimensional infection becomes severe, Psychics become no different from ordinary people."

Chen Ming couldn’t help but remark: "This feels like a special type of cancer."

"Cancer has long been conquered, plus cancer cells won’t jump off the operating table to fight the doctors."

"Another restricting factor of the survival rate for Psychics infected with dimensional infection is the lack of doctors with even basic Spiritual Ability using my designed equipment for self-protection."

"Using medical robots alongside ordinary Psychics might barely work, but it definitely can’t match the efficiency of specialized Psychic doctors."

"Thus, very few people survive dimensional infection."

"Therefore, there’s hardly any point in prevention."

Meanwhile, while Chen Ming’s Fourteenth Legion prosthetic was discussing dimensional infection with the president.

An Wuping had already stopped his car, quietly waiting by the roadside.

He was continually gathering Spiritual Power, preparing for Spiritualization.

Of course, Spiritualization might also fail, and An Wuping could face direct vaporization by a Thermal Pulse Laser.

Black Mist Spiritual Energy can be restricted by bright light, and even life-saving Spiritual Energy’s effects under the bombardment of Main Ship’s Main Level Weapon is uncertain.

As Chen Ming rested in place, some flesh monsters were already tracking the disturbances he caused, gradually approaching, wanting to assimilate An Wuping into their ranks.

In the distant ground, crimson meteors capable of single strikes destroying shield-activated Cruisers were continually leaving terrifying scars.

Chen Ming could even see several hurriedly departing Shuttle Boats, uncertain of their allegiance, leaving the planet.

Whether these Psychics left too late, notified too late, already infected with dimensional infection could seize the last chance remained unknown.

Chen Ming ignored them; for him, An Wuping’s Spiritualization was the most important matter.

As he gradually slowed his heartbeat, concentrating fully to face the imminent danger.

He suddenly sharply noticed that a Shuttle Boat, previously ascending, seemed to spot him, executing a nearly right-angle turn, flying swiftly towards him.

At the shuttle’s open hatch was the Psychic from the Audan Star Realm who had been pursuing An Wuping all along: Liang Fei.

Liang Fei had one hand gripping inside the shuttle, extending the other out.

A Spiritual Energy Fluctuation-constructed chain emerged from his palm, tossed toward An Wuping’s direction.

"Hold tight!"
