Chapter 40 - Gaia's Change

The operating theater was connected to a display screen, so William and the others at the outer defense line could see the situation in the operating area clearly.

Seeing the infection spurting out pus, the professors and students were shocked, fearing that they would be infected.

However, after taking a few steps back, they realized that the operation was carried out in an enclosed space, so they regained their composure.

When William and the others saw this group of people, they became angry and chased them away.

Only Sophia was allowed to watch Gaia and Douglas working in the operating room.

Looking at Gaia's skillful operation, Sophia fell into deep thought.

This was completely different from her impression of Gaia. In her impression, this guy was not a bad guy, but there was nothing outstanding about him either. He was just an ordinary brat.

This would be fine if he was from an ordinary family, but as one of the heirs of the Klaus Family, that was an issue.

The heir to a family like that must be anything but ordinary. Whether they were good or bad, they had to at least stand out from everyone else.

Therefore, in the gatherings of these large families, Gaia had always been seen as nothing but a dispensable pawn.

The boys did not want to hang out with him, so Gaia was left to play with girls like them.

Due to this history, he was also ridiculed by many.

He did not expect that the crybaby brat from back then would turn out to be such a man now.

She was really envious of Christina!

She had actually picked up a diamond in the rough.

"Spray the disinfectant!"

As soon as Gaia finished speaking, Douglas put on his gas mask, took a nozzle from the operating table, and sprayed it at the operating room.

Gaia's hands did not stop moving. He quickly swung his knife and cut off the body of the pyloric infection, exposing the belly of the Shadow Panther.

"Douglas, hurry up!"

"Alright!"

Douglas took out a razor and began to shave the Shadow Panther's belly.

If they wanted to pull out the source of the infection as much as possible, he had to ensure that the operation site was as clean as possible.

Therefore, it was necessary to remove the fur.

Although the Shadow Panther was under anesthesia, it still had could feel its own body ever so slightly.

After it sensed that the fur on its abdomen had been removed, tears fell from the corners of its eyes.

The people outside laughed loudly when they saw this.

Brad slapped William's shoulder in an exaggerated manner.

"William, did you see that? That lil' panther actually cried!"

"So, is that the reason you decided to touch my gun?" A fierce expression appeared on William's face.

Brad hesitated for a moment and said, "Bror, I just accidentally touched it!"

"Go to hell! Feel the wrath of the Dragon!"

"Have mercy!"

——————————————

Then, with the tense atmosphere slightly relieved, everyone continued watching as Gaia used Frost to cut open the Shadow Panther's upper abdomen.

Yellow pus flowed out, revealing the creature's organs.

"He's actually doing it!"

The bespectacled youth's eyeballs almost popped out.

In such an environment, performing such a difficult surgery was insane!

Not only him, even Wendell and the others had dumbfounded expressions. It was like their brains were overheating.

"The concentration of the anesthetic is decreasing. Should we  continue injecting the anesthetic?" Douglas said.

He was constantly looking at the display screen, reporting any abnormal data on the Shadow Panther to Gaia at all times.

"There's no need. The infection is now stimulated. It would secrete fluids that can numb the nerves. From now on, the Shadow Panther won't feel any pain." Gaia explained. Then, he instructed the others outside through the microphone. "Don't just stand there. Burn some leaves and disperse the mosquitoes around you.

"Douglas, be prepared to help me block the panther's attack at any time."

Gaia stared at the spleen without blinking.

It had already expanded, as the core of the infection was wrapped around it. In the process of removing it, it might stimulate the host's body and cause it to launch an attack.

"Okay."

Douglas held a special scalpel and focused his attention.

"One of you guys, come in now. We need help here!" Gaia said.

"Understood." Sears quickly came over from the defense line. After putting on a double-layer protective suit, he walked up to the operating table.

Wendell and the others looked at Sears as if they were looking at a fool.

"Is this guy an idiot? Why would anyone want to do a job like this!" The African-American with dreadlocks said to the bespectacled youth.

The bespectacled youth was about to nod when his face suddenly changed.

The man with dreads turned his head in confusion and saw William walking up to him.

"What did you just say? I dare you to say it again!" William said with a cold expression.

"I didn't say anything. You must have misheard!" The man in dreads quickly explained.

"I'll ask again. What did you say just now? Don't test my patience." William continued.

"I didn't say nothin'!" The man in dreads turned his head he continued to deny ever saying anything.

William grabbed him by his neck and lifted him up high.

The man with dreadlocks struggled crazily, desperately using his hand to tug on William's arm, but it was useless.

The muscles on William's arm were as hard as a rock. No matter how hard he pulled, they did not budge.

"I'm warning you. Mind your damned mouth, or you won't be able to live to see tomorrow." William threatened.

"Same goes for the rest of you. Don't let me hear any of you guys saying anything like that." William gave a mean look at the rest of the scholars, none of them dared to even look at William.

——————————

The Shadow Panther's abdominal cavity reeked of pus and other excretions from the infection.

Gaia inserted a catheter, and as the suction machine started to do its work, the excrements were pumped into a sealed bucket.

Sears's task was to move the excrements into a special storage container to prevent the spread of the contaminants.

Gaia stuck his hands inside the abdominal cavity and looked for the location of the infection cores.

He could not afford to wait for the excrements to be sucked up by the suction machine. By the time the excrements were removed and the infected cores were exposed, they would also realize the danger and immediately move further into the creature's body.

Seeing Gaia sticking his hands inside, Sophia could not stand it as she proceeded to puke.

"Tss!"

Gaia waved his scalpel.

The pylorus infection had a stress reflex. The Shadow Panther's body shook violently. With a loud fart, its feces and urine started to get expelled from its body.
