He looked up at the holographic projection of a human body, where green dots—the Mushroom Spirit’s spores—clogged the brain. Now, those dots had shifted, spreading throughout Ming Dong’s entire abdomen.
All they could do now was use localized hypothermia to deactivate the spores. But Ming Dong was, after all, just an ordinary human; prolonged exposure to such low temperatures would cause significant damage to his body.
