Chapter 98
“Ah! There it is!”
Just as Cheng Yunshao had said, after a medicine is released, it requires time to ferment.
Aside from anything else, those who were still at work and hadn’t had the chance to pick up their courier packages might not even know the pollution medicine had arrived.
But now, it had fermented enough, and new comments were constantly refreshing in the review section.
[Ahhh, I’m seriously so excited! Divine Doctor Zhen saved my whole family’s life. I originally suspected it was fake medicine, but then we encountered the Vine Building. Most people in the building who were at home got contaminated. Our family of three took the medicine and watched with our own eyes as the pollution receded. Thank you so much, Divine Doctor Zhen!! I shouldn’t have doubted you! For such a miraculous medicine, one pill only costs 399—truly a conscientious price!!]
[Thank you, Divine Doctor Zhen. I was a bit worried about being scammed at first, but after giving the medicine to my son, he really stopped hurting! Now I just regret not buying more. When will the official website sell the medicine again?]
[Grateful. I’ve been contaminated for over two months, living a life worse than death every day. I only bought it with the mindset of giving it a try, but I didn’t expect the pollution medicine to actually work! The pain stopped immediately after taking it.]
Luo Shizhen looked at these reviews, his heart feeling warm and delightful.
To be precise, his emotional resonance wasn’t that deep just looking at the comments themselves, because his imagination had been weak since childhood; looking at text, he couldn’t visualize the other party’s emotional and psychological fluctuations.
But Grandma said a person should be a good person and do good deeds. This counted as doing a good deed, right?
If Grandma were still around, she would definitely be proud of him.
As Luo Shizhen closed his laptop with satisfaction, subtle changes were happening all across Xia Country.
—While a bound patient was struggling in agony, the patient’s family rushed in, face filled with excitement.
“I bought the pollution medicine! Dad! Quick, take the medicine!”
The doctor checking the patient quickly stopped them: “Wait, family members, the patient can’t just take medicine randomly!”
But they couldn’t stop them in time; the medicine had already been stuffed into the patient’s mouth. In the next moment, under the doctor’s shocked gaze, the patient, who had been wailing constantly in pain, suddenly went quiet. His eyes opened, clear and lucid.
—In a small park, a patient who was contaminated because they walked past a bizarre territory despairingly opened a medicine bottle. After swallowing it, they suddenly stood up.
“It actually works?”
—In a school, a teacher scrolling through online reviews grew more and more excited. She grabbed a delivery box and rushed out of the office.
Her younger sister had been contaminated for nearly a month. This pill had to be delivered to her sister as quickly as possible.
—In Shanhai City, the male Guardians guarding this area had just finished a round of combat. Their faces bore wounds, and they stood back-to-back, vigilant against the bizarre’s potential next wave of attack.
A Guardian pulled out a cigarette pack, lit a cigarette, and slowly exhaled, looking up at the sky: “In a bit, I won’t be going back.”
His teammates, who were currently in a post-battle calm state, immediately frowned: “What are you talking about! We came together, so of course we go back together.”
The Guardian bit his cigarette and pulled away the medical bandage on his wrist. There, the flesh near the wound was rapidly alienating into the shape of scales.
The expressions on his teammates’ faces instantly turned grim.
Every Awakener could recognize that this meant he had entered the alienation state.
The vice-captain grabbed him: “Come on, I’ll take you back to Eternal Day.”
But he just bit his cigarette and slowly sat back down: “It’s too late. I’ve already entered alienation. Maybe before we even reach Eternal Day, I’ll turn into a bizarre.”
Smoke drifted toward the sky, his vision already turning somewhat cloudy:
“After I finish this cigarette, send me off. Don’t trouble the Inspector; they’re very busy too.”
All the team members fell silent. They surrounded their comrade as if surrounding a grave.
Until the captain arrived, face full of joy. Although he was the captain, he was actually the youngest among them, and the only one in the team with a more lively personality.
“Look what I brought back!!”
Filled with joy, he carefully cradled a small box in his hands, showing it to his team members like presenting a treasure, but then he froze.
“What’s wrong with you guys? Why is everyone so unhappy?”
Someone wanted to step forward to block his view, but in the end, they moved aside, letting the young captain see the teammate on the ground who was currently alienating.
“Brother He!”
The captain instinctively panicked, but then suddenly thought of something. He quickly opened the box, took out a white pill, and pressed it hard against the other’s wound.
“This is the pollution medicine that Eternal Day just distributed. I heard it was made by a very powerful Purifier. Brother He, don’t be afraid, it’ll be fine soon! You’ll be okay!”
“Pollution medicine? How could…” Brother He instinctively felt it was impossible. It had been thirty years; if Eternal Day could make a pollution medicine, they would have made it long ago, why now.
But very soon, he saw with his own eyes that the alienation on his arm stopped. It was even gradually receding back into human skin.
—At Tianlin Mountain, several female Guardians supported each other as they returned to their station, likewise facing the predicament of deepening pollution.
They hadn’t reached the point of alienation yet, but if the pollution continued to accumulate, it would be close.
The weapons in their hands clattered to the ground. Several people silently bandaged each other, until their captain returned with a look of joy.
The captain likewise pulled out that exquisite small box.
“The pollution medicine I just received! Quick! Xin Xing, your pollution is the most severe, hurry up and eat it!”
The young woman, whose face was already covered in black stripes, was still wearing her combat uniform. She was somewhat bewildered and incredulous, but she still took the pill and swallowed it.
In the next moment, under her teammates’ overjoyed gazes, the black stripes on her face quickly receded as if they had been attacked and devoured.
“It works! It actually works!! Fantastic! We even have pollution medicine now; things will definitely get better and better in the future!”
“How was this medicine made? To be able to research a pollution medicine, that’s just too amazing!”
While people everywhere were rejoicing because of the pollution medicine, Luo Shizhen was still researching how to cultivate fear.
“An unexpected surprise.”
Xiao Shan placed the trending topic that was continuously rising before Luo Shizhen:
[Pollution Medicine Appears, Traditional Chinese Medicine Family Recipe Can Cure Pollution]
“Originally, people online were still discussing why that bizarre’s video was taken down, but now all the heat has been covered by the pollution medicine.”
Compared to a bizarre that nobody knows when they might encounter, everyone cared far more about the pollution medicine that was directly relevant to themselves.
“That’s great! This way, our plan will definitely go even smoother!”
Luo Shizhen envisioned: “Once we catch that bizarre and I purify it, I can bear even more fruit.”
As he spoke, he felt a bit discouraged again: “But I still can’t cultivate fear. Big Brother, have you cultivated it?”
Xiao Shan displayed his robust muscles: “I’m so strong, how could I feel fear?”
Luo Shizhen also felt that made sense.
Big Brother looked exactly like the kind of person who was very brave.
Enviously, he touched Big Brother’s muscles, then lowered his head to look at himself. Why did he train every day, but his muscles didn’t look as robust as Big Brother’s?
While envying, Luo Shizhen said, “But using ordinary people as bait, won’t it be dangerous?”
Ordinary people’s resistance to pollution was too low. If possible, Luo Shizhen still didn’t want to use ordinary people as bait.
He originally wanted to go himself, but Luo Shizhen had tried for a long time and couldn’t cultivate fear at all.
Thinking carefully, it seemed that from childhood to adulthood, there really wasn’t anything he was afraid of. Even zombies didn’t scare him much anymore.
Cheng Yunshao, who was watching a show on the side, turned off the TV: “I do have a candidate in mind.”
He originally just turned around to speak, but as soon as he turned his head, he saw Luo Shizhen patting and touching Xiao Shan’s body with a face full of fondness.
And Xiao Shan, this completely shameless man, was actually bare-chested, looking down at Luo Shizhen with a shameless, doting smile.
“Shizhen, touch here. This part is trained the best. Look, I can make it as hard as a rock.”
“Wow, really! Big Brother, how did you train this? Can you teach me?”
“Of course. Come, let me feel the distribution of your muscle blocks.”
Luo Shizhen was already unbuttoning his shirt.
Cheng Yunshao stood up.
Thinking of his own combat power…
Cheng Yunshao sat back down.
Expressionless, he recorded a video and sent it to the group.
Ying He from afar: @All Members
Ying Liu from afar: [??? What is going on here? Xiao Shan, you brat, put your hands down! Cheng Yunshao! You’re just watching like that? No way, I’m going to apply for a transfer. Where are you guys right now? Send me the address, I’m coming right away!]
Chu Xiao: [?]
Lu Qiujin: [???]
Wen Hu: [I *****!]
[Wen Hu recalled a group message]
Wen Hu: [You guys are at the pool, right? I’m coming!]
Rong Nian didn’t say anything; he was already on his way rushing over.
Luo Shizhen heard his phone pinging rapidly in his pocket. He paused halfway through unbuttoning his shirt, let go, and pulled out his phone. Upon looking, he saw the video of his daily interactions with Big Brother.
Luo Shizhen: [Big Brother and I are looking at each other’s muscles. Ying Liu, do you want to come look at muscles too? (Haha laugh)]
Ten minutes later, Luo Shizhen rested his chin on his hand, watching everyone who had once again broken into a scuffle:
“They’re fighting again.”
He was completely used to it by now; even his sigh carried a flat tone.
He just felt it was a bit of a pity. He had originally wanted Big Brother to help him see how to target his training to build a body full of robust muscles like Big Brother’s.
Now, since Big Brother was busy fighting, he could only give up.
Cheng Yunshao pulled him over: “Ignore them. Look at this candidate, what do you think? He’s not an ordinary person, he has resistance, and he won’t be so strong that the bizarre detours around him.”
Luo Shizhen looked and saw it was an acquaintance.
Two hours later, Lin Ke, who had once served as their team’s makeup artist, sat before everyone with a bewildered expression.
“Bait? Me?”
