"Won't last long?" Raine, who had been about to step forward and help, froze. "What do you mean?"
"It's spreading fast..." the woman said gravely. "This place seems to be a key infection zone for the enemy. The corrosion is spreading rapidly. Judging by the rate just now, this place will be infected in three hours at most. We have to leave before then..."
"Three hours?" Raine's expression immediately darkened. "Is that enough time to treat my wounds?"
The woman glanced at the corrosive wounds covering Raine's body and shook her head. "Your muscle tissue has suffered severe corrosion and needs purification and excision. One wound has already infected your bone marrow. You'll need Bone Purification, or even major surgery involving Bone Shaping and Marrow Replacement. There's definitely not enough time!"
Raine gritted his teeth. "It's that serious?"
Bone Purification required scraping the bones thin, then injecting a specially prepared solution to purify them. Bone replacement and marrow replacement were even more drastic: the corroded sections of bone had to be cut away, reshaped with specialized materials, and finally regenerated using advanced biotechnology. Bone amputation, reshaping, regeneration, and marrow replacement all required highly specialized doctors. The more advanced the organism, the greater the demands placed on the doctor. As a Level 14 warrior with a Pure Bloodline, he would be extremely difficult to treat. Even at the base, he would probably need at least two months of bed rest—let alone in a wilderness like this!

Raine's heart sank, but he still managed to maintain his composure on the surface. He
