Chapter 607 - I believe that shell pull through (1/2)

Furthermore, Zhou Yingxue was only interested in watching the show right now. ‘Master, you want to remain pure? You even needed to put on gloves before holding my hand? Let’s see what you’re gonna do now!’

Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. “Forget it, there’s no need to apply the medicine. I believe that she’ll pull through.”

Zhou Yingxue was confused.

This was a matter of life and death, yet he simply decided not to apply the medicine just like that? ‘Master, do you still have a shred of human decency left?’

Li Ran, who was unconscious with them, suddenly said, “I can apply it myself….”

Zhou Yingxue and Ren Xiaosu looked down and saw that Li Ran had come to. She was struggling to take the black medicine from Ren Xiaosu’s hands.

“Don’t let go of my hand, or those creeper vines will start attacking you again,” Zhou Yingxue added. The show was over, and Li Ran’s strong desire to survive made her regain consciousness.

Li Ran applied the black medicine to her wounds with much difficulty using only one hand. The blood flow to her face had visibly started recovering. Not only did the black medicine have healing properties, but it also encouraged the regeneration of blood in the body.

Ren Xiaosu wondered if the palace had unlocked such a powerful trauma medicine for him as the first item because it was afraid he would accidentally die?

Then what the hell was about the effect of the black medicine when taken orally?!

Li Ran could feel her strength recovering quickly and was even surprised. “What medicine is this? It’s so effective!”

“It’s a secret ancestral remedy that’s only passed down the male side,” Ren Xiaosu remarked.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ran looked at him with a glimmer in her eyes. “Did you come here specially to save me?”

Li Ran wanted to reach out to hug Ren Xiaosu. However, Zhou Yingxue, who was in between them, pulled her away and said, “I think you must be daydreaming. Don’t keep saying ‘you’ when it was both of us who came to your rescue. Please say ‘you two’ instead! Why have you disregarded me entirely? And we did not come here specially to save you. Stop being so shameless.”

Li Ran found it a little regrettable that she did not manage to hug Ren Xiaosu. Didn’t a damsel marry the hero who rescued her? Why was it now that a damsel was offering her hand in marriage to the hero, the hero looked so unhappy? This did not seem to go with the storyline at all!

But there was no time to think about that. The creeper vines in the entire stronghold were suddenly starting to get restless. Ren Xiaosu looked at the vines below his feet starting to move towards the center of the stronghold like a wave.

“What’s going on?” Ren Xiaosu was surprised.

“It seems like… a new hunt has started,” Zhou Yingxue said.

“Let’s hurry to the city center then!”

…

While Luo Lan and the others were taking shelter in the supermarket, their field of vision of the outside was completely blocked by the roller shutter door. The store had become their last place of refuge.

The Qing Consortium soldiers surrounded Zhou Qi and Luo Lan while Zhou Qi sat cross-legged on the floor. The bright blue in his eyes was constantly dimming.

The frenzied creeper vines penetrated through the gaps in the roller shutter door, but no matter how many of them got through, Zhou Qi would use his superpower to draw out the water. In the blink of an eye, the vines dried up and turned into a fine powder.

“How much longer can you hold out for?” Luo Lan asked.

“At most an hour.” Zhou Qi had a worried look on his face. He asked the reporter from Hope Media, Zhou Tao, “You said the Wang Consortium troops will only be arriving in the afternoon? What time is it right now?”

“It’s 11 AM.” Zhou Tao sat against the corner. He found a pen and notebook in the supermarket and was writing nonstop in it.

Luo Lan asked, “What are you writing?”

Zhou Tao, whose face was covered in dust, said, “I want to record in detail everything that happened after the disaster began. I wasn’t able to explain everything over the phone, so it has to be written down. The creeper vines should only be interested in lifeforms. After I finish writing everything, I’ll call the chief editor and tell him where to find this journal. Once the Wang Consortium troops arrive and take care of the creeper vines, the reporters from Hope Media will come and retrieve this journal. It will be the most authentic firsthand account they can get.”
