Chapter 345 The Awakening
Raven watched anxiously from the side, pacing in circles.
Nelson suddenly walked over and gave Tyler a shove. Nothing happened.
Nelson frowned and pushed again–still nothing.
Tyler frowned in confusion. “What are you doing?”
Nelson glared at him. “Who’s the doctor here? You or me? Move!”
Tyler finally realized Nelson wasn’t just a researcher; he was a doctor too. He quickly stepped aside.
Nelson leaned over Caroline, checking her pulse and breathing. His expression tightened. Something was very wrong, but even he couldn’t tell what kind of illness it was.
Frowning, he hurried downstairs to run a blood test.
While he was gone, Tyler soaked a towel in cold water and placed it on Caroline’s forehead.
Her face relaxed a little, but she was still burning up. Her skin was red and hot to the touch.
Denton paced in circles, nervous and helpless. He asked Jet what had happened.
The parrot fluttered his wings, explaining that Caroline had suddenly fainted mid–sentence. Denton was at a loss when he learned about this. “She was fine a minute ago! How could she just pass out like that?”
Nelson returned, drew some blood, and ran more tests in the lab.
Nelson was out of ideas. Caroline’s condition made no sense. It was as if the
body.
powerful forces were fighting a brutal war inside her
When he examined her blood, he found something even stranger: an enzyme almost identical to the one found in mutated lifeforms. It carried a kind of raw vitality, the same mysterious energy he’d been studying for months but never fully understood.
Driven by instinct, Nelson took the purified energy serum he had created earlier and mixed a drop with Caroline’s blood. To his shock, the two fused instantly–no resistance, no rejection.
It was as if something exploded in his mind. Nelson felt he was on the edge of a discovery, but he couldn’t quite grasp it.
He dared not give her any medicine, but his instincts told him Caroline’s life wasn’t in danger. So he asked Tyler and Denton to keep cooling her down with wet towels while he monitored her condition.
Meanwhile, Raven was sitting quietly at the edge of the bed. He tilted his head like he was deep in thought.
Jet, on the other hand, was losing his mind. He zipped back and forth in the air, flapping and squawking, but wasn’t sure what to do.
Finally, Raven smacked him right out of the air with one heavy paw.
“Raven!” Jet squawked, feathers ruffled. “You’re bullying me now? Our human’s dying! If she’s gone, we’ll be orphans!”

Jet froze mid–rant. His eyes widened. For a moment, he seemed to share a silent thought with Raven.
A beat later, Jet’s feathers puffed up, and his voice trembled with excitement.
“So, our human… she actually-”
Before Jet could finish his words, Tyler suddenly collapsed from the side.
He fell straight to the floor beside Caroline’s bed, hitting the ground hard.
“Tyler! Tyler, what’s wrong?” Denton shouted, panic rising in his voice.
He rushed forward to help, but before he could even touch Tyler, his knees gave out.
Denton went down too.
In an instant, all three of them–Caroline, Tyler, and Denton–were unconscious.
Tyler, barely clinging to awareness, forced his eyes open. Through the haze, he saw Denton’s arm resting across Caroline’s shoulder. Summoning every ounce of strength left in him, he reached out and pushed Denton’s arm away.
Then his hand slipped, and his head tilted to the side. He finally slipped into deep unconsciousness.
For a moment, Raven and Jet were both frozen in shock.
Silver, however, panicked. She fluttered anxiously around Denton, circling his head again and again before flying down to peck at his face.
But Denton didn’t move–not even a blink.
Finally, Silver darted toward Jet, tugging on his feathers as if shouting, “Do something!”
At the same time, Nelson squinted at the machine before him inside the lab. The liquid inside was bubbling furiously, swirling like a storm.
A thought flickered in his mind. “This… looks like the evolution process in animals,” he murmured.
The words had barely left his lips when dizziness washed over him. His vision blurred, and his body felt like it was on fire. His temperature was rising fast–too fast.
