Chapter 534 Conservative Treatment or Surgery?
After Lin Shi fed Lin Rongxuan the heart of the sacred tree and the roots of ginseng to replenish Lin Rongxuan's source power in the past two days, he began to think of ways to replenish Lin Rongxuan's mental power.
It normally takes ten days or half a month for a sixth-level evolver to wake up after his mental power is exhausted.
Therefore, Lin Shi used the corpse of the source beast in the space to continuously use the skill of plant stimulant in the past two days to stimulate the golden fruit that can increase mental power.
Then he took it to the laboratory to feed Lin Rongxuan.
The researchers in the laboratory saw that Lin Shi fed Lin Rongxuan no less than ten golden fruits in the past two days.
This fruit is beautiful and fragrant, and it is also a variety they have never seen or discovered.
But Lin Shi didn't even let them touch it, and fed it to Lin Rongxuan one by one.
Seeing that Lin Shi got another golden fruit from nowhere, everyone, including Li Xianke and others, stopped their actions and looked at the golden fruit in Lin Shi's hand.
Lin Rongxuan didn't think too much, and took the fruit handed over by Lin Shi in a trance and took a big bite.
The fruit was crisp and refreshing, with a fragrance that he had never tasted before. After a few bites, it turned into a warm current flowing into his stomach.
It was many times more delicious than all the fruits he had eaten.
At the same time, Lin Rongxuan also felt the growth of his source power and mental power.
He immediately realized the preciousness of this fruit, widened his eyes, and was so shocked that the words on his lips turned into:
"Delicious."
Lin Rongxuan wanted to help his son hide the preciousness of this fruit in public.
To prevent his son from being missed by others.
Little did he know that during his coma, Lin Shi had already fed him nine golden fruits, and this was the tenth one.
Now the entire research institute knows that Lin Shi gave Lin Rongxuan a high-level mutant plant fruit that can increase mental power.
They were so envious that their eyeballs almost went into Lin Rongxuan's stomach.
Lin Shi smiled:
"If it tastes good, I'll give you another one tonight."
Lin Rongxuan noticed the fatigue in Lin Shi's eyes and waved his hands to refuse:
"No, no, good things are only good once in a while, if you eat them all the time, they won't be rare!"
He hadn't eaten fruit for a long time, and he was very happy that his son honored him, but he obviously saw that this thing was rare.
Besides, of course, good things should be left to his son!
Everyone in the research institute who heard this: They are rare! They want to eat!!
Lin Shi didn't force it, as long as Lin Rongxuan was healthy and safe, there would be plenty of time to eat good things together in the future.
Lin Shi looked at Li Xianke.
Li Xianke immediately came back to his senses, came to Lin Rongxuan and said:
"Do you feel any discomfort in your body now?"
Lin Rongxuan knew that his situation could no longer be concealed, and sighed:
"No discomfort, my situation will only make me forget a lot of things. And I don't even feel that I have forgotten anything, and even I can't perceive the situation in my brain with my mental power."
Li Xianke nodded, the situation was right.
The shadow in Lin Rongxuan's brain will not only make Lin Rongxuan forget his memory, but also affect his mental perception.
"Come, cooperate with us to do another set of tests while you are awake."
Li Xianke said, and pulled Lin Rongxuan to get busy again.
A few hours later.
The test was finally over.
Li Xianke and other researchers and doctors went aside to discuss countermeasures.
More than an hour later, Li Xianke returned to the laboratory.
Li Xianke walked to Lin Shi, who had been staring at the test results, and said:
"Let's go out and talk?"
"Just say it in front of me. I am already in my forties, and I know my own physical condition."
Lin Rongxuan heard Li Xianke's low voice and stopped him.
Li Xianke looked at Lin Shi.
Lin Shi pursed his lips and nodded:
"Just say it directly."
"Okay, then I'll say it."
"We have discovered the worst situation so far. This shadow in his brain will grow over time. When his source power and mental power remain stable, the shadow grows slowly. When he is unconscious, the shadow grows very quickly."
Li Xianke walked to the screen and pointed at the hundreds of brain comparison pictures scanned in the past two days.
"From the comparison of the large amount of source power and mental power you fed him in the past two days, whether it is increasing his source power or mental power, it can only slow down the expansion of the shadow. Moreover, this part of the shadow has a tendency to become stronger when it encounters a stronger opponent.
That is to say, if the main body becomes stronger, it will suppress the shadow for a while, but as time goes by, the shadow is also absorbing the power of the main body and becoming stronger. This is the most terrifying thing."
"This shadow will actually evolve with the evolution of the main body. If it can be treated a few years earlier, perhaps..."
Li Xianke hesitated.
Lin Rongxuan's situation has obviously lasted for a long time.
The shadow in his brain does not belong to any disease known before the end of the world.
It's not a disease, but more like a parasite, virus, or something like a parasite that targets the brain.
The most terrifying thing is that they found that this shadow is likely to have self-awareness.
The body of the Evolved is so powerful, but it can't repel or kill this thing, which is enough to show how terrifying this shadow is.
If they can puncture Lin Rongxuan's brain and absorb part of the shadow for research, they may be able to get more information.
But it is also possible that the shadow in Lin Rongxuan's brain will change.
Lin Shi will not agree to do this.
"We have come up with two plans. Conservative treatment, let him keep his source power and mental power full, and continue to evolve. Maybe when he evolves to a certain level or peak, he can break through some kind of shackles and suppress this shadow to a very small level, or even disappear."
"However. He is now at the sixth level. Not to mention the difficulty of continuous evolution, even if he evolves to a very high level, the possibility of the shadow disappearing is only 10%. And in the process of evolution, there is more than 50% possibility of stimulating the evolution of this shadow, making things more difficult."
Li Xianke looked at Lin Shi and told the truth.
"Another option seems much simpler, which is to directly remove the part of the brain covered by the shadow. Humans can live normally with only half of their brain left. There have been similar experiments in the Lighthouse Country before the end of the world.
With the physical strength of the sixth-level evolvers and the assistance of the existing source power drugs, even if more is removed, it should not be a big problem. There are naturally side effects, but this is the method with the highest success rate of survival.
The only thing we are worried about now is whether this shadow will have any overreactions when threatened and stimulated during the operation..."
In fact, before Lin Rongxuan woke up, Lin Shi and Li Xianke discussed the treatment plan.
Gathering the power of the entire research institute, they analyzed and studied Lin Rongxuan's physical condition in all directions for two days and two nights.
The efficiency obtained was extremely high.
In Lin Rongxuan's case, the shadow in his brain is not like a tumor or other things. The shadow in his brain grows together with the brain.
That kind of shadow grows according to the situation like a life, and cannot be peeled off from the brain.
If surgical treatment is used, only the part of the brain covered by the shadow can be removed.
Although the vitality and self-healing ability of the sixth-level evolvers are very strong, they can survive with less than half of their brain left.
But in Lin Rongxuan's case, it is likely that a part of his brain will have to be cut off.
The ability of a sixth-order evolver is largely derived from the development of the brain, so a decline in strength is inevitable.
The most troublesome thing is that if the shadow in Lin Rongxuan's brain has a sense of protection, it will do something that harms the body.
It will affect Lin Rongxuan's life safety.
Therefore, the risk of surgery is also very high.
Conservative treatment can only delay Lin Rongxuan's time as much as possible, and there is no guarantee when Lin Rongxuan's entire brain will be occupied by the shadow.
If occupied by the shadow, it is likely that Lin Rongxuan will die directly or generate another consciousness.
The most terrible result is that the person may still be alive in the end, but he is no longer the original person.
This is unacceptable to Lin Shi.
After listening to Li Xianke's words, Lin Rongxuan made a decision directly:
"I choose to undergo surgery!"
