Professor Ronald was facing the direction of the Shadow Panther. He had clearly seen the sudden change in the Shadow Panther.
His face was pale, as he staggered a few steps back.
He looked in the direction of his students and saw that those kids had already run away in a panic. He also followed suit.
They did not have a choice. They were afraid of being infected.
Brad looked in the direction of the two professors. He frowned as he yelled out disdainfully.
“Over here, Professor!”
William put on a gas mask, ensuring that there were no openings in his clothes. Then, he asked Gaia.
“What should we do now? Should we retreat?”
Gaia shook his head and nodded again.
“You guys retreat first. I’ll stay here to help the Shadow Panther deal with the infection.”
“What?! We left you to suffer on your own last time! How can we abandon you again this time? Don’t forget that we’re a team!” William said anxiously.
“Yeah! Let us stay!” Everyone agreed in unison.
“What can you guys do if you stay here? It’s better for you guys to retreat to the outer perimeter and help keep watch. After all, we’re in the jungle now, there are threats around every corner!” Gaia said firmly.
“Alright then.” William and the others also knew that they would only be a hindrance if they stayed here. It would be better for them to go to the outer perimeter and protect Gaia from any potential threats.
“I’ll stay. I’m needed here.” Douglas said flatly as if nothing was out of the ordinary. However, his eyes exposed him.
Normally, Douglas looked like a dead fish, his eyes showing no expression most of the time. He did not care about anything, even if it was related to him.
However, when it comes to scientific research, his eyes would glimmer.
Her gaze turned serious and sharp, as if his vision can pierce through anything with just a glance.
That was what he looked like right now.
“You can come! But the moment there’s any danger, you have to get out of here as soon as possible!”
“Understood.”

The moment he saw the change in the Shadow Panther, Attuned to Nature gave Gaia a hint.
The infection that afflicted the Shadow Panther was a type of plague. It was a type of pyloric plague and had a strong lethality.
The Shadow Panther was probably afflicted with this infection during the battle, causing its strength to drop drastically. Moreover, it also caused the creature to have act irregularly, deviating from its usual routines.
However, since the Shadow Panther was a supernatural creature, its strength was too strong. The spiritual energy on its body could also suppress infection, which was why it was able to hold on to consciousness for this long.
Just now, after the Shadow Panther was injected with an anesthetic by Douglas, it finally lost its consciousness, causing it to lose control over the pyloric plague infection, which led to the infection taking over.
Now, the tentacles of the infection were wildly flailing about, occasionally hitting Gaia’s body. If it was not for the protective clothing covering its entire body, it would have been infected long ago.
After reading the message, Gaia’s face was grim.
Gaia suggested, “We must perform an operation immediately to remove the infection.”
“Okay.” Douglas immediately entered the zone as he assessed the current symptoms of the Shadow Panther.
“The lips are shut tight, and it’s turning purple. There is a large amount of sweating, accompanied by convulsions.
“We need emergency first aid.”
Gaia made the arrangements.
He flipped through the characteristics of the pyloric vaccine and discovered their characteristics.
The main trait of this pyloric plague was that it grew rapidly. Within ten minutes, it would enter its mature stage.
In other words, within the next ten minutes, any hope of saving the Shadow Panther would be gone.
Gaia crossed his hands and pressed them on the Shadow Panther’s chest. He was performing CPR on the creature to ensure blood circulation.
“Prepare the operating room. The rest of you, guard against any other creatures that might attack.”
Gaia said quickly. The last sentence was directed at William and the others who were guarding the perimeter.
When William and the others heard that, they immediately responded with a hand gesture.
The defensive line was quickly set up!
Douglas also immediately began to set up the operating area.
The operating table was still the same as the one they used previously. Then, they used a closed partition wall to seal off the area, preventing the spread of the infection.
Finally, they sterilized the area and created a sterile surgical environment.
The surgical environment was crucial to ensure the success of the surgery. Otherwise, with the current poor conditions, even if the operation was carried out, the Shadow Panther would most likely die.
The death of the Shadow Panther was still a small matter. However, its death would cause a huge outbreak of the plague, putting everyone in danger.
With the infection taking over the Shadow Panther’s body, its body was stimulated by the plague infection. Its cells started to enter an active phase, allowing the Shadow Panther to regain its consciousness.
The Shadow Panther opened its misty eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. It instinctively wanted to struggle.
Following that, Gaia and Douglas appeared.
Seeing the things in their hands, the Shadow Panther immediately curled up on the bed, not daring to move.
“You are an extraordinary creature, you should be able to understand our words. Now, we are preparing to save you. Otherwise, you will die from the corrosion of the infection.
“If you agree to let us help you, then nod” Gaia continued.
Of course, ignoring the fact that he was holding a mace in his hand, he sounded extremely kind and gentle.
The Shadow Panther immediately nodded and laid flat on the operating table. Its limbs were spread wide, though its body was still trembling.
“Inject it with 3000cc of lidocaine anesthetic. Inject it intravenously and observe its condition at any time.”
“It is now in the active cell stage, so it will have a higher resistance to the anesthetic. We can increase the dosage if the situation calls for it.” Gaia said in detail.
Douglas nodded and operated according to Gaia’s commands.
His speed was very fast. He had completed the task in barely over ten seconds.
Time waited for no man. He had to go fast.
In just over a minute, the skin and flesh of the Shadow Panther shriveled. The infection had absorbed enough nutrients to expand.
Fortunately, the infection had not matured. There were no spore clusters spraying powder, and the lethality of the infection was only affecting the host.
Gaia put on two layers of protective clothing, saying at the same time, “First aid kit, scalpel, hemostatic cotton, disinfectant. we need to prepare all of them in advance. We’ll be using a lot of them soon.”
“Understood.”
——————————
By the time Gaia stood at the operating table, it was already 1 minute and 12 seconds into the operation.
Gaia bit his lower lip and quickly opened the first aid kit. Then, he took out a syringe and injected atropine into the Shadow Panther.
This was a general first aid injection used to as a countermeasure against heart failure.
The pyloric plague infection would cause the host to experience heart palpitations, causing greater damage to the heart. Even if the infection was eliminated, the victim might still suffer from heart-related diseases.
Gaia then injected the Shadow Panther with an energy potion to maintain the body’s continuous energy supply.
He suddenly pulled out the Frost scalpel from a box. He held the knife in his left hand and quickly went to work.
“Swoosh!”
The infection attached to the Shadow Panther’s abdomen was partially cut off.
“Pshhhh!”
Being attacked, the lump immediately shrunk, before rapidly expanding once more, spurting out yellow mucus that sprayed everywhere.
