Chapter 48: Healer-kun (1/2)

”Hurry, you have to finish extracting the Virus, Yongrui.” The System worriedly called out to me. ”We don't have much time!”

”Even if you tell me... ” I bit my lips in frustration since I could tell that we might not finish on time. The horde is pressuring us from all directions and they've completely blocked our escape routes. If they become more saturated than ever, it will be problematic for us to escape.

But we were so close! No, let's continue on, it's my sworn duty to help Wu Yan and Liu Zhi and Blade are working hard for her sake. I can't back out now, even if it meant we'll get completely surrounded by those rabid humans.

Curse those rabid humans.

Liu Zhi glanced towards us, gesturing that we have to get out of there. Blade nodded in response, then looked at me to see if I would agree.

Here goes nothing!

I raised my hands and gave them a sign of my two fingers. Two minutes, just two minutes and I should be able to heal her.

They nodded.

Once more, they desperately continued on pushing the rabid humans out of the building. Props to them, they were holding the fort as best as they could. And because of that, many rabid humans were dropping off like flies, giving me the experience points I needed to level up.

Sadly, the ones that managed to break into the building were only Stage-Two's and Stage-Three's. They only net me a hundred to a thousand points at most. Right now, I need more than fifty thousand experience points to level up but that's beside the point.

I could feel that my mind is beginning to lose all reason as the virus invaded my body once again. And as it turned out, the virus infecting Wu Yan was a much stronger strain compared to the one I have. In other words, there's a huge chance that I will turn into a rabid human once again in place of Wu Yan.

But that's a small sacrifice to take, right?

<Ti-ring!>

<You've learned the skill Purify>

<You've earned the title, Healer-kun.>

”What on earth is up with that title?!” I screamed, but no one heard me because of the gas mask I was wearing.

Throb.

Throb.

Suddenly, an intense headache plagued me, making me squirm in pain as blood came out of my mouth. I couldn't breathe... and for some reason, my lungs and heart seemed to tighten as well. I could feel my blood pressure rising up and killing intent leaked from my body as if everyone in the vicinity was my target. Even the rabid humans trembled when they saw me and they even backed out a little bit after that.

”I... I can't breathe.” I told myself as my hand instinctively reached towards my gas mask...

...and removed it.

”Hah... hah.”
