Salute To The General

Nathan, Colin, and Sevan were the only ones left in the study.

Worried, Colin asked, "What should we do now, Mr. Cross?"

Nathan answered indifferently, "Since Francis has successfully developed an advanced serum and even cured Sevan with it, I might as well give the serum a try. It's possible that the serum could eliminate the blood virus in my body and restore my normal state." Colin was slightly concerned, apprehensive about the possibility of adverse reactions and potential side effects.

Nathan urged, "We're running out of time now. Don't hesitate anymore. Go get the syringe and inject me!"

Left with no choice, Colin gritted his teeth and said, "Okay."

Soon, Colin made all the necessary preparations and gave an order that no one should be allowed inside.

Afterward, he personally administered the serum to Nathan.

Within seconds, a vial of advanced serum was injected into Nathan's arm.

Colin and Sevan both stared at Nathan anxiously and asked, "How are you feeling, Mr. Cross?"

Nathan narrowed his eyes and said slowly, "I sense a warm current entering my arm, spreading throughout my body and into my limbs. It's like the temperature inside me is rising, as if there's a flame burning within."

Sevan quickly added, "It's somewhat similar to what I experienced. I had a high fever for a while, but I recovered after the fever broke. According to Professor Ladell, it's the medicinal effect that causes the body to run a fever, and the high fever kills the blood virus." Meanwhile, Nathan's entire body turned a bright red hue. It appeared as if a surge of heat was bursting forth from within him.

Instantly, he was drenched in sweat. Although he tried to put on a brave front, anyone could tell that he was suffering in extreme pain.

"Mr. Cross?" Colin was worried sick.

Nathan said nothing and merely shut his eyes. One of his hands gripped the desk tightly.

Sizzle...

Smoke actually billowed out from the study desk!

Colin's eyes widened as he turned to look at Sevan. "Was your fever this serious?"

Dumbfounded, Sevan gave a poor response. "No."

Colin's expression changed

drastically. "This isn't looking good. We need to find a way to cool Mr. Cross down. There's a lounge

behind the screen at the back of this study. It has a refrigerator and a bathroom with a tub. Help me toss all the ice cubes from the fridge into the bathtub. We need to bring Mr. Cross' temperature down."

Sevan replied hastily, "Okay!"

Upon reaching the lounge, Sevan quickly opened the refrigerator and transferred all the ice cubes into the bathtub, creating a tub of icy water. Just then, Nathan entered the bathroom with Colin's help.

Nathan's body was incredibly hot, to the point where Colin felt like his supporting hand was on the verge of getting burned.

Without hesitating, he placed Nathan into the bathtub.

A sizzling sound echoed, resembling the noise of red-hot iron being plunged into icy water.

The heat was so intense that the water in the bathtub began to boil.

Colin and Sevan's expressions changed dramatically, as they watched intently.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

With each passing moment, the water in the bathtub gradually calmed down, and Nathan's body slowly returned to its normal temperature. "Mr. Cross?" Colin tried calling him.

Nathan slowly opened his eyes and commented, "This medicine is extremely powerful. I felt like it almost took my life..."

Both Colin and Sevan shed tears of joy. "Mr. Cross is fine. What a relief!" they exclaimed in unison.

Nathan quietly checked his own body.

He felt like his body had fully recovered, as if he had returned to being a healthy human again. However, it did not appear to be the case in reality. For a moment, he was confused if he had recovered.

The advanced serum developed by Francis was initially effective in purifying the blood virus in Nathan's body. However, due to Colin's action of immersing Nathan in ice water, his body temperature dropped, preventing the serum from fully

eradicating the blo

virus.

Unbeknownst to them, the change in temperature had inadvertently caused the blood virus to evolve.

Consequently, the blood virus within

him grew stronger, and the situation

became trickier. This made it

impossible to detect its presence using conventional methods, let

alone kill the virus with the serum.
