In theory, this stuff could spread through the air too, but direct injection into the bloodstream was naturally faster.
Feeling the virus being injected into his body, Leises shook his arm and said with a chuckle,
"There's nothing particularly specia—"
Before he could finish, his arm joint suddenly cracked with a pop.
Leises immediately looked nervous. He squeezed his arm and stammered,
