Ding Meng had thought that this building was the command center of the resistance army, but after entering, he was completely surprised. After passing through the door on the first floor, he realized that this place was no longer a command center. It was a real home.
A spacious living room with a sofa, a coffee table, a television, a crystal projector, and other facilities were all available. Such a home might be normal for an ordinary family in Blue Pole Star City, but in the Underground City, which was located in a riot zone, it was considered a very luxurious existence.
When Ding Meng entered, he saw an old man standing by the window, lost in thought. Zhang Jian had already reminded him that this was Mr. Zhi Yao, a high-ranking member of the resistance army.
Zhi Yao was not an origin ability user, but he was a very senior military advisor in the Dawn Army. After the army split, Mr. Zhi Yao stood on the side of the resistance army.
"Please sit!"
Zhi Yao turned around and waved at Ding Meng. His attitude was not polite, but it was not cold either. It was very proper, as if he was treating a guest.
However, out of courtesy, Brother Zhu still poured a cup of hot tea for Ding Meng. Ding Meng knew that the Immortal Weaver Planet was in short supply. Even ordinary tea leaves were very rare. This cup of tea was a tribute to him for helping Zhang Jian's troops today.
"Thank you!" Ding Meng took the cup.
Zhi Yao slowly sat down on the sofa. "I heard that Brother Ding was commissioned by the military. Little Zhang said that you can treat this disease?"
It was obvious that he was not a long-winded person, so he simply went straight to the point. Ding Meng replied in a low voice, "That depends on the patient's condition. If it's too serious, even if they can be saved, I'm afraid that there will be serious side effects."
Zhi Yao seemed to be worried about him. He changed his tone and asked, "Brother Ding, which medical institution in the Federation does Brother Ding work in?"
"I don't have professional medical qualifications. I only know a little about medicine …" Ding Meng paused and said, "I learned from Senior Xueyan for a while …"
He mentioned Xueyan to dispel the other party's doubts. After all, Xueyan and Zhu Lixian were very famous among the older generation. As long as one was a citizen of the Federation, they would know about them.
Sure enough, when he heard Xueyan's name, Zhi Yao's expression changed. His tone also became respectful. "So you're Senior Xueyan's student. I've been disrespectful, Brother Ding."
Ding Meng could only reply humbly, "I wouldn't dare!"
Zhi Yao got up and said, "Since you're from a famous teacher, then, please come in!"
On the east side of the living room was a small corridor. At the end of the corridor was a small sealed bedroom. There was only one technological facility in the bedroom — a nutrition cabin. Other than that, nothing else.
This nutrition cabin was obviously a high-end device. Its shape was a little like a dazzling gold backpack. It was a translucent cylinder that stood in the middle of the room. Its bottom was embedded into the ground and connected to an energy source. It was filled with a light green nutrient solution. The person wrapped in the nutrient solution was also an old man. However, this old man was different from Zhi Yao. Although his eyes were closed, he exuded an imposing and majestic aura. He must be a person who held great power and gave orders.
Ding Meng observed for a moment and then asked curiously, "Did you turn on the freezing mode and put him to sleep?"
Zhi Yao sighed. "Once he wakes up, he'll go crazy. Few people here can stop him when he goes crazy. We spent a lot of effort to freeze him inside."
"Let me see!"
Ding Meng secretly circulated his Origin Energy. At the same time, he raised his telekinesis vision and released fifty tiny dots into the interior of the cabin.
However, as soon as these tiny dots came into contact with the old man, the old man's surface muscles produced a rather strong elastic force and actually bounced the tiny dots back. This rebound even made Ding Meng's vision a little blurry. It was exactly the feeling of being punched in the face.
Ding Meng couldn't help but take two steps back. His face was filled with shock. "Old Mister is actually an Origin Energy expert."
This was Little Rascal's analysis. "Although he's sleeping, his Origin Energy is still circulating in his body. As long as there are any fluctuations near his body, it will trigger a spontaneous rebound."
This was what surprised Ding Meng. The spontaneous rebound of his Origin Energy was actually so strong. He didn't dare imagine how powerful this person's Origin Energy would be after he woke up.
Zhi Yao explained, "He's a general-level Origin Energy expert. Brother Ding, it's best if you don't use your Origin Energy so easily."
Brother Zhu's eyes flashed, but he didn't say anything. In fact, he was even more surprised because Ding Meng had only taken two steps back. This proved that Ding Meng's Origin Energy level wasn't low. What if Zhang Jian went up and tried?
He would probably be knocked back into the living room along with the door. Moreover, he would probably fall to the ground and not be able to get up.
Xiao Ai suddenly said, "ACT 5570, if you want to investigate his brain, you can't use your Origin Energy. You won't be able to enter at all."
Ding Meng frowned. "Is there any other way?"
Little Rascal said, "Try using the refined essence. That's the power of the Inverse Source Crystal. If he's really infected too deeply, his Origin Energy won't be able to resist the refined essence. It will be able to sense that this is a green life energy that is harmless to the body."
Ding Meng thought for a moment. He took two steps forward and pressed his palm against the energy shield of the nutrition cabin. His palm slowly poured the refined essence into the nutrient fluid. The light green liquid gradually became brighter, as if it was an upgraded nutrient fluid. Its polymerization component had been strengthened.
Brother Zhu and Zhang Jian's eyes also lit up. They were Origin Energy users, so they could naturally see the changes.
This time, the old man's body didn't produce any rebound, and the fifty telekinesis dots were able to smoothly enter. Fortunately, this champion didn't cultivate telekinesis. If he did, Ding Meng's dots would probably have suffered a rebound.
With Ding Meng's current brain development, the telekinesis dots still couldn't truly read other people's memories. He could only use Little Rascal and the others' microscopic view to make a judgment.
He could see that the champion's memory neurons were like jellyfish in the microscopic world. They were connected to each other by sparkling and translucent fibers. In the end, they were integrated into a human memory.
However, the champion's memory fibers had already changed in many places. Some were yellow, some were red, and some were even close to black. It was a sign that they were completely necrotic.
"These are the places where he was infected. The information flow inside has already been filled with other information, or it has mutated," Xiao Ai explained. "You can repair it for him."
Ding Meng asked in surprise, "How do I repair it?"
Little Rascal said, "Your universal telekinesis doesn't require you to infuse the information flow in your mind. After all, he's not an ordinary human. You can use the dots to walk along the fiber lines. It's just like constructing an origin. Once the whole thing is cleared up, it'll help him recover his memories."
Ding Meng hesitated. "Will that work?"
Little Rascal replied with certainty, "Yes!
It's like detoxifying a poison. Right now, his memories are being taken over by poisonous information. Fortunately, it hasn't spread to his neurons. If his neurons were completely contaminated, then he'd basically be hopeless. It's also fortunate that he's a champion and has Origin Energy to protect his body. This has slowed down the progress of the mutation to a large extent. If he were an ordinary person, then he'd have gone completely insane. "
"Understood!"
Ding Meng sucked in a deep breath. He roughly estimated that this champion needed to repair at least eight thousand fiber lines. However, this was a piece of cake for Ding Meng. No matter how difficult this task was, how could it possibly be difficult for him to repair the origin of the "Diamond Astral Technique"?
However, an Origin Energy champion's body was not to be trifled with. Repairing each and every fiber of his memory was not as easy as it seemed. Ding Meng needed to use five hundred dots to sweep through the area at the same time, which was extremely taxing.
In the eyes of Zhi Yao and the others, Ding Meng pressed a palm against the nutrition pod and closed his eyes tightly, as if he was secretly exerting his strength. Even though the old man inside the pod hadn't changed, the nutrition pod was constantly glowing. The three of them didn't care about disturbing Ding Meng and could only wait quietly to the side.
They waited for three hours. Zhang Jian was really getting impatient. He turned his head and whispered, "Brother Zhu, do you think he'll be able to do it?"
Wang Zhu didn't answer because he wasn't sure if Ding Meng could actually cure the old man. Judging from the Origin Energy that Ding Meng was using, he dared to say that he had never seen anyone with such profound strength among the younger generation. As such, he was somewhat expectant.
Zhi Yao, on the other hand, turned his head and glanced at Zhang Jian. "Little Zhang, it's true that you're decisive on the battlefield, but being able to maintain your composure is also a great advantage."
Zhang Jian immediately lowered his head and said, "I understand!
Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Zhi! "
At this moment, Ding Meng finally opened his eyes and retracted his arm. "It's done!"
Zhi Yao was somewhat hesitant. "He's cured?"
Ding Meng nodded, his expression somewhat tired. "He's completely recovered. You can turn off the freezer and let him out to move around."
"This … …" Wang Zhu was also somewhat hesitant. His gaze was directed at Zhi Yao.
Zhi Yao was silent for a moment. Then, he decisively ordered, "Then let Old Fan out!"
Wang Zhu immediately understood what he meant. So many doctors and medical equipment had been helpless. In any case, they were already treating a dead horse as a living horse. It wouldn't make a difference even if they continued to struggle.
As Wang Zhu operated the control panel outside the cabin, the internal freezer was turned off. The nutrient solution slowly fell to the bottom. About ten seconds later, the old man's eyes slowly opened.
It was completely different from what everyone had imagined. The old man appeared to be very awake and very calm. His eyes were filled with a kind of gentle gaze. He slowly opened his mouth and said, "Old Zhi, Zhu, Xiao Jian, have I been dormant for a long time?"
Although he had been dormant, his basic perception and consciousness had not been frozen. Thus, he could vaguely guess what had happened in the outside world.
Zhi Yao and the other two finally revealed surprised and excited expressions. "Old Fan, you've finally returned to normal. It's all thanks to Brother Ding."
The protective shield of the nutrition cabin automatically opened. The old man with a bare upper body walked out in an imposing manner. It was only at this moment that the dignified aura on his body could be felt. It was awe-inspiring.
Every important person had a so-called "aura". The old man gave Ding Meng a feeling of pride, confidence, and steadiness. If Mr. Yu was still around, he would have such an aura at his age.
The old man stared at Ding Meng for a full ten seconds. Then, he took the initiative to extend his hand. His voice was sonorous and powerful. "Fan Chengying, Dawn Army, current resistance army, Steel system origin power general."
Ding Meng was also affected by his demeanor and aura. When the old man announced his identity and rank, it was undoubtedly a straightforward way of expressing his gratitude.
