Chapter 1089
The process of treatment was extremely agonizing.
Fortunately, as time passed, everyone could see that there seemed to be something wriggling in Charles' veins,moving closer and closer to his throat.
That thing, long and bulging, was clearly a living creature.
One of the men responsible for holding Charles down, upon seeing this object, felt a chill run down his spine, hiswhole body breaking out in goosebumps.
The two elders also reacted swiftly, urgently asking, “Ms. Garcia, what is this? Could it possibly be that wugpest?”
Seeing the scene she had anticipated, Neera breathed a sigh of relief, becoming even more cautious. “Indeed,that's a wug pest, and a mother wug at that. In a while, it will be vomited out of the person's mouth. You all needto be careful.”
After she finished speaking, she turned to Luigi and said, “In a moment, take the glass bottle and carefully collectthe mother wug. Make sure it doesn't get away.”
Luigi nodded, feeling a bit uneasy at the thought of that scene.
The rest of them felt the same, goosebumps covering their bodies again and again.
They stared at Charles for a while, then their gazes fell upon Avery.
At that moment, Osbert discovered something. Suppressing the urge to shiver, he pointed at Avery's arm. “Neera,
look quickly! Mr. Cox also has it on him. It's moving! It's that wugling, right?”
Upon hearing that, everyone turned their attention in that direction.
Neera was calmer than others when she took a good look at it.
The veins and tendons on Avery's forearm bulged due to his tightly clenched fist.
Beneath the thin skin and vessel walls, indeed, something was squirming.
However, compared to Charles', it was quite short and thin.
Its movement was so subtle, as slight as a swim in the bloodstream, almost impossible to detect without a closelook.
Neera had anticipated that, so it wasn't a surprise. “Indeed, it's a wugling. Compared to the mother wug, its size ismuch smaller. It's about one-fifth of the mother wug. Previously, it had been lying dormant in the blood, hiding sowell that even the most precise instruments would have difficulty detecting it.”
Osbert understood what was going on. “So that's how it is. No wonder dealing with the wugling is so tricky.”
As time ticked away, minute by minute, half an hour later, the two elders suddenly yelled in surprise, “It'scoming! It's coming out!”
Neera turned around at the sound, and upon seeing them pointing at Charles' throat, she immediately focused herattention there.
She saw that the mother wug had already moved to the area above Charles' throat.
In other words, the mother wug would be spat out soon.
Looking at Charles, it was unclear whether he was choked by a foreign object or had been suffocated. His facewas swollen and turned a shade of blue and purple. His eyes were almost bulging out, and only his tremblinghands indicated that he was still breathing at this moment.
Everyone was on edge, their eyes fixed intently on the mother wug, following its every move.
Right at that most critical juncture, an unexpected change occurred.
The people who were originally attending to Charles were two members of the medical team.
One was the chief physician, and the other was his assistant, Chandler.
Those two had always been trustworthy, never doubted by anyone.
To everyone's utter surprise, Chandler, while their attention was all focused on the mother wug, suddenly pulledout a glass bottle from his pocket, the contents of which were unknown.
Suddenly, he yanked the towel that was stuffed in Charles' mouth, then proceeded to pour the liquid from theglass bottle into his mouth.
Neera was the first to react, her face hardening. At the critical moment, she sternly shouted, “What are youdoing?”
She wanted to rush forward and snatch it, but that person moved even faster.
This sudden turn of events also startled the rest of the people. Their faces paled from shock, and for a moment,they were all flustered. novelbin
Violet reacted swiftly, her eyes chilling instantly. Without hesitation, she drew the concealed gun from her body,aimed it at the person's hand, and fired.
Bang!
The gunshot and the thud sounded almost simultaneously. As the bullet left the chamber, it hit Chandler's handright on the mark.
Immediately after, the glass bottle slipped from his hands, shattering on the ground.
With a loud crash, shattered glass flew in all directions, and the remaining liquid in the bottle spilled all over thefloor.
