Chapter 138: Labor Pains (1/2)
”Lu Chen...”
Du Thirteen squeezed out an ugly smile. If he went with this appearance to pick up girls, he would definitely fail.
My voice was extremely weak. ”Thirteen, how long do I have left?”
At these words, Du Thirteen almost burst into tears. He held my hand, his eyes red. ”Don't worry, you will live long, enough to get both Lin Yixin and He Yi...”
I didn't know if I should laugh or cry. I murmured and said, ”Don't speak nonsense...”
Du Thirteen looked at the tubes on my body, his eyes full of sadness, ”Bro, where’d you bury your feelings? Can you still find them?”
I sighed. So what if I found them? In my current state, what could I promise them?
……
At this time, Du Thirteen's father, or Daddy Thirteen, came over with a stack of folders. He said, ”Actually, Little Lu's poison can be resolved!”
”Oh? How, dad, why didn't you tell me?” Du Thirteen's eyes shone.
Daddy Thirteen shook his head. ”But it's too difficult!”
”Why?”
Daddy Thirteen looked at me and Thirteen and said, ”Lu Chen's blood has merged with the virus, and worsened. In order to resolve this, we have to find the antibodies. Through a month of analysis, we finally got detailed information on the virus. Antibodies should exist, but the probability of them appearing in someone’s blood are miniscule. Probably only one person in two hundred million has the needed antibodies!”
”Then we will go find...” Du Thirteen said urgently.
Daddy Thirteen shook his head. ”Son, is this so simple? Should I go find two hundred million people, get their blood to test, and then find the antibodies?”
Du Thirteen's expression dimmed. He stood there dazed. But less than a minute later, he suddenly jumped up and shouted, ”Dad, there is a way!”
”What?”
Du Thirteen was radiant. ”Heavenblessed! Heavenblessed! I remember that when picking our characters in Heavenblessed, they took a bit of blood for verification. The blood information is recorded in the Chinese headquarters of the Eternal Moon Corporation. China has millions of players, maybe someone will have the antibodies. If we contact the Eternal Moon Corporation, we can make the antidote, correct?”
Daddy Thirteen shook his head depressedly. ”No, I already thought of it and contacted the Eternal Moon Corporation. But they firmly refused. That information is private customer information. With the Eternal Moon Corporation's reputation at stake, they will not divulge any information. Give up, they have their principles!”
”Principles? What nonsense principles?!”
Du Thirteen was furious. ”I don't believe it. I’ll go to Shanghai tomorrow afternoon and ask for the data from the Eternal Moon Corporation's people!”
”Son!”
”Yes!”
”Help Lu Chen dress. If we isolate the antibodies from serum and make an antidote within 72 hours, he will be fine.”
”Alright!”
Du Thirteen was very excited. He helped the other workers pull out all kinds of tubes from me and dress.
When I walked off the operating table, I felt dizzy but fine otherwise.
This research center was very advanced. Thirteen had not lied. His father was a great expert.
……
In the conference room, when I and Du Thirteen arrived, Beiming Xue, Gui Guzi and Mamate were already present. There were also some leaders of the research center present. The atmosphere was serious.
Daddy Thirteen made a phone call and time passed quickly.
”Here, the vice president of the Eternal Moon Corporation is already outside the research center! Should we go together to welcome them?”
”Alright!”
I adjusted my clothes and did my best to not look so disheveled. Beiming Xue carefully held my arm and looked worriedly at me.
In the hall, a group of people were pushing open the door and entering.
Immediately, me, Du Thirteen, Mamate and Gui Guzi were stunned. No one had expected the vice president to be a young woman, and a beautiful one at that. While she was not as stunning as He Yi, she was enchanting, a smile on her face, and she looked very approachable.
”How are you!”
This beautiful vice president went forward and shook hands with the leader of the research center. She said with a smile ”I am the vice president of the Chinese branch of Eternal Moon, Qin Yun. Everyone can call me Qin Yun.”
The research center leader nodded. ”President Qin, please come in to sit and talk!”
”Yes, alright!”
Qin Yun had a strong presence as she led her subordinates into the guest hall first. This was how a successful woman should look. Previously, I’ve only ever seen He Yi exude such a noble presence.
Entering the hall, Qin Yun sat down, and looked over us. She said with a smile, ”About the blood serum, actually, I can make the decision.”
Beiming Xue's eyes lit up and she begged, ”Sister Qin Yun, save Lu Chen...”
Qin Yun grinned. ”I know. I wouldn’t have come otherwise.”
Qin Yun looked at me and smiled faintly. ”Falling Dust, do you remember me?”
I was slightly puzzled. Suddenly, light flashed and I said in shock, ”You... you are WSL's Zhi Yun'er, the captain of Snow Moon?”
