Chapter 127 - Where Are You?
Chapter 127: Where Are You?
The moment Wei Huo heard the alarm, he thought of the little girl called Liu Ying. Something must have happened to her again.
Wei Huo wanted to rush back, but at that moment, a light purple cat appeared on one side of the jungle.
Night Cat, Rare-ranked, female, 75 years old.
The cat had smelled blood. Wei Huo tied the savage to a tree and added some blood. After waiting for two more hours and killing over 10 Normal-ranked beasts, the Rare-ranked cat was finally lured over.
The savage was still howling. The cat stole a few glances at it before jumping out of the jungle and pouncing toward the savage. However, it did not notice the trap beneath its feet.
It was a rope trap. As soon as the cat landed on the ground, it stepped on the trap. As a result, the trap was triggered and secured its hindlegs. The heavy object tied to the other end of the rope fell and dragged the cat back.
The purple cat struggled a few times before being lifted by the rope.
“Meow!” The purple cat kept howling and meowing. It realized that the rope was restricting its freedom. It immediately curled up and bit the rope with its teeth, but Wei Huo appeared at that moment.
He walked over and grabbed the cat’s neck. The cat immediately became obedient.
The weak spot of every cat was the back of its neck. It would be obedient if one pinched it there. Of course, that was only if one was strong enough. Normal people would die if they pinched the back of a tiger’s neck.
Wei Huo tied the purple cat up, put it on his shoulder, and grabbed the savage before rushing back to the temporary camp.
As soon as he returned, Wei Huo saw Xiao Bin and Mo Guyun busying themselves with their gauze masks. The others were all sick.
“What happened?” Wei Huo asked.
Mo Guyun’s eyes were red, and she was sweating profusely. She coughed a few times before saying in a hoarse voice, “We all have a cold. The few of them are all very sick. Xiao Bin and I are in better condition. We are taking care of them. Do you have any cold medicine?”
Wei Huo took a closer look at them. Every patient was separated from them. They were all lying in bed with wet towels on their heads. The young girl, Liu Ying, was the most seriously ill. She was in a coma.
Wei Huo saw the words ‘Virus Infection’ on her Health Menu. It was not a simple cold, but a virus infection!
Xiao Bin and Mo Guyun had also been infected by the virus. However, their symptoms were mild, while the others’ condition was serious.
Wei Huo still had about 100,000 Magical Stones. He could purchase the World-Shining Anti-Virus Medicine that could eliminate any virus, but he could only buy one. He could save just one person. He could also purchase cheap cold medicine, but it would definitely be of no use.
At that moment, Liu Lei said with difficulty, “Big Brother Wei, I’m begging you. Please save my sister… Cough!”
Mo Guyun asked, “Don’t you have any cold medicine? If you don’t, they can only go through a blood transfusion!”
“It’s no use!” Wei Huo shook his head. “You guys have been infected by a virus. Normally, newbies are infected by it. I didn’t expect so many people to get it. It could be because of the rain.”
A virus that had evolved to a higher level had appeared. Because humans had lagged behind the world for 500 years, they had been tricked.
Mo Guyun asked, “What should we do then?”
Wei Huo flipped through the Item Mall and found a special item.
“Mysterious Silver Needle, 130,000 Magical Stones. The user can transmit Qi energy into the patient’s body through the Mysterious Silver Needle to increase the patient’s cell activity and boost their immune system.”
I should just buy this. I can use it multiple times. No matter what kind of illness I have, I can use it to cure it. Plus, my Qi cultivation level is high.
Wei Huo bought the Mysterious Silver Needle and said, “I have a Mysterious Silver Needle. It can transmit my inner Qi to you and enhance your immune system. In theory, it can remove the virus. Who’s going to try it first?”
Liu Lei said with difficulty, “Please, please save my sister first. Please!”
Wei Huo looked at Lu Ren and Long Tao. “What about the two of you?”
The two of them still had some strength left. At the very least, they had practiced the Bronze Qi-Inducing Skill, so their endurance was stronger.
At that moment, Liu Lei said, “Please, Brother Wei, save my sister first. I can be last. It’s alright. You will save me last. I can hold on!”
The two of them hesitated for a moment before saying, “Save Little Sister Liu Ying first. Her condition is worse!”
“Thank you! Thank you!” Liu Lei kept thanking them.
Wei Huo nodded and approached Liu Ying. He inserted the Mysterious Silver Needle into her vertebrae and a system notification popped up. “The player’s medical rank is 1. Her Qi cultivation level is 13. Her Longevity Skill is at level 7. She can be cured in six hours.”
Wei Huo was a little surprised. Was the silver needle that powerful? Although it could cure her directly, her Qi energy and Longevity Skill were at a high level so it still needed six hours. After all, he’d only bought one silver needle.
The Mysterious Silver Needle was a combination of needles. There were 108 silver needles in total. It would take six hours to heal if one used one needle, but it would only take one hour if one used six silver needles. Unfortunately, he was too poor.
Wei Huo regretted not deceiving players to get more Magical Stones. Normal people did not have an Item Mall or Magical Stones. They would not know how to use Magical Stones even if they dug them out. However, Magical Stones could create miracles in the hands of the players.
Wei Huo started treating Liu Lei’s little sister. Her condition started to improve, and after two hours, the virus infection became mild. Two hours later, the symptoms of the virus infection changed to ‘Virus Infection (Immunity)’.
Little Miss Liu Ying was immune to the virus. Meanwhile, the others collapsed on the bed and their condition became serious. Only Xiao Bin, who had the Hero Mode, was considered normal.
Lu Ren, Long Tao, and Liu Lei had fainted. Mo Guyun, who was still conscious, shouted, “Save them first. They are getting worse!”
“Xiao Bin, take good care of her. I’ll save the three of them!”
Wei Huo started to rescue Lu Ren, as Liu Lei had said that he should save the others before he saved him.
Wei Huo did not waste any time. He did not think about who he should save first. He just wanted to know who was the closest to him and who would save him first. That was why he saved Long Tao first. Four hours later, Long Tao was immune and he started saving Lu Ren. Three hours later, Lu Ren had also gained immunity. The reason the time was reduced by an hour was because Lu Ren’s body had developed some immunity during the rescuing process. That was why the healing time had accelerated.
This was a human’s super immune system.
After treating Lu Ren, Wei Huo decided to treat Liu Lei. However, Liu Lei’s bed was empty.
Wei Huo asked Xiao Bin, “Where is Liu Lei?”
Xiao Bin, who was in Hero Mode, was immune. His condition had improved, and he had even removed his gauze mask. He had been taking care of the unconscious Mo Guyun. Upon hearing Wei Huo’s question, he replied, “I’m not sure. I saw Liu Lei lying there just now, but he disappeared. Are you looking for him?”
Wei Huo was calm and cold. “Save them first!” he said.
