Inside the laboratory
"Dead Spine Lake" had been contributed and was immersed in a mild analytical solution that would not cause him any harm.
With Regan taking the lead and Yi Chen assisting from the side, they conducted the unceasing, sleepless study of the Death Plague Bacteria together.

Perhaps because of his genes, Yi Chen had been able to slowly adapt to prolonged hunger. His body had been capable of adjusting from childhood to a state in which it took in no energy from the outside world.

Even Hippocrates Grand Hospital had only recorded the Death Plague in passing, without conducting any detailed research into the disease. The reason was simple: true dead people had been virtually nonexistent in the past, only gradually beginning to emerge in recent times.
