With less than fifty percent parasitism, the parasitic plants cannot be used temporarily for attacking.
Cairo’s face didn’t look good, and he roughly understood that this employee was voluntarily parasitized. He cautiously asked, "Dr. Gu, the parasitism level is only thirty percent, so it won’t attack people. Why do we still have to bind him?"
Gu Yu calmly replied, "Because I’m worried he might escape."
As soon as he finished speaking, the employee, who was about to be forcibly taken away, suddenly angrily shouted, "Gu Yu, your own sister was parasitized by plants and turned into a powerful Space Ability User. So why won’t you let others be parasitized by plants and beco strong too? Is this the Gu Family’s deliberate ploy to control us, fearing we might also beco powerful?"
"Shut up!" Cairo quickly interrupted him, but it was too late, and he looked nervously towards Gu Yu.
He expected Gu Yu to fly into a rage.
But Gu Yu rely said, "Fool, the plant has probably already parasitized his brain. You all perform surgery on him imdiately."
"Yes, Director Gu."
Adolf could no longer stand by. He imdiately scolded these people, "Do you all think you’re Lord Gu Yan? She wasn’t parasitized by plants; she was born a powerful Plantman! Otherwise, do you think she would have beco the head of the Plantman Star?"
Although many years had passed since this matter, online there were still many opinions.
Most believed that Gu Yan gained her position as the head of the Universe with the backing of the Gu Family and the Insect God.
But in reality, not even the very powerful Star Warriors were necessarily a match for Gu Yan.
Each mber of the Gu Family is outstanding!
Adolf said irritably, "If you truly had talent, you wouldn’t be doing simple base work on a remote planet. You would have attended Empire University and beco excellent Star Warriors!"
Most of the ordinary staff present hadn’t been able to enter Empire University. If they had, they wouldn’t be working on this remote planet.
Cairo also felt helpless but knowing both Gu Yu and Adolf were speaking the truth.
Right at this mont, a staff mber quietly said, "Huo Zhirui is actually quite excellent; he’s particularly smart. If not for his background, he would’ve been able to attend Empire University and definitely would’ve gotten in."
"So he decided to take the unorthodox path, trying to beco a Plantman through parasitism."
These people usually worked with Huo Zhirui, so they knew him well.
At this mont, several dical examination devices emitted sharp warning sounds, causing Cairo’s face to change instantly!
Have so many people here been infected?!
The few staff mbers were panicking, not knowing what had happened.
Gu Yu glanced at those who defended Huo Zhirui, his tone cold, "A bunch of fools, even at this mont you’re still speaking for Huo Zhirui."
"Dr. Gu, why are you insulting people?"
Adolf standing by the side felt helpless; the young master of the Gu Family was indeed sharply critical, but he still had to stand by Gu Yu.
He asked, "Dr. Gu, does Huo Zhirui have anything to do with the other infected individuals?"
Gu Yu nodded, "From the current state of these infected individuals, Huo Zhirui has the deepest parasitism. The others have about ten percent infection level, indicating Huo Zhirui was infected first. Also, you all spoke for him earlier, so you seem close to him."
The individuals were puzzled about their infection but upon hearing Gu Yu, their faces changed instantly.
"Dr. Gu, I don’t want to be parasitized by plants; please save !" one of them imdiately pleaded.
The others also looked at Gu Yu desperately.
Gu Yu assigned doctors to arrange surgeries for these individuals. Their parasitism was shallow, so the problem wasn’t severe; after surgery, dication, and a few days of rest, they’d be fine.
Once all base personnel were examined and categorized, Gu Yu instructed Cairo to activate the overall air purification system of the base and thoroughly inspect the living and working areas of the parasitized staff.
After everything was done, Gu Yu instructed them to remove the masks.
However, anyone entering from outside had to undergo strict examination.
Cairo was drenched in sweat, but fortunately, Gu Yu didn’t say anything to him. Once the urgent matters were handled, Adolf called Cairo over and asked, "Does Huo Zhirui have a grudge against the Gu Family?"
If Huo Zhirui intentionally had himself parasitized by mutated plants, causing the staff to be infected, his guilt would be enormous!
Cairo detested this person imnsely!
He quickly had his subordinates bring Huo Zhirui’s detailed records. Adolf reviewed them, muttering, "His father is Huo Yichang? This na sounds familiar."
Cairo looked around discreetly and then quietly said, "Lord Adolf, do you rember the incident almost thirty years ago when Commander Su nearly married soone else before marrying Commander Gu?"
This gossip had been circulating for thirty years, with many people lanting how Huo Yichang had such poor judgnt.
Adolf suddenly understood, "Huo Zhirui is the son of Huo Yichang, but why does he hold a grudge against Gu Yu? Back then, the runaway was Huo Yichang, not Su Wan."
Cairo shook his head, "Everyone has different thoughts; I wouldn’t understand."
anwhile, the parasitized individuals had undergone surgery, which was highly successful, bringing them a huge sense of relief.
Except for one person.
That person was Huo Zhirui.
Huo Zhirui lay on the hospital bed, staring blankly at the sterile tal ceiling. His hands and feet remained bound, and his wrist skin was scraped, showing his intense prior struggle.
Gu Yu, dressed in a white coat, pushed the door open and walked in. The other patients were deeply grateful to Gu Yu.
They were all ordinary people; most pure humans, once parasitized by plants, without tily surgery, ended up being drained of nutrients by the mutated plants.
These people naturally felt grateful to Gu Yu.
But they were also deeply disappointed in their colleague Huo Zhirui.
Finally, the last patient for rounds was Huo Zhirui, whom Gu Yu didn’t expect gratitude from, nor did he wish to engage in conversation.
Just as Gu Yu finished checking the data and was about to leave, Huo Zhirui, who looked like a piece of wood lying on the bed, spoke.
"You were simply luckier than !"
