"Over the years, the major bases have not only strictly controlled the mutation levels in the food supply, but they've also standardized their detection methods... Anyone detected with an abnormality is taken away and put into quarantine..." Wei Heng said in a low voice.
'Quarantine?'
'X Energy can't be absorbed by the body, nor can it be expelled through metabolism... Once the signs of mutation appear, even if someone is quarantined immediately, what happens after that?'
Gu Xi didn't press the issue. Some questions were only crueler once voiced.
"Don't overthink it." Wei Heng comforted her, a wry smile on his face. "It's not like the higher-ups are completely helpless. Years ago, research from the Abnormal Ability Research Institute showed that while the Healing System can't purify or expel X Energy, it can temporarily pacify it..."
Unfortunately, there were still far too few healers.
Besides, a temporary reprieve was hardly a long-term solution.
