Fan Ming: Wow, this is fucking awesome.

He stood there like a wooden man, with "wow" written in his wide-open left eye and "gosh" written in his right eye. He raised his head and saw the same expression of doubt about life on Ling Ning's face opposite him.

Fan Ming swallowed his saliva: "This...did you bring all these?"

"Yeah," Eve half-knelt on the ground, her slender white hands picking through the pile of medicine, "I can't help it. I don't recognize these medicines."

Ling Ning came to his senses and asked in surprise, "Can't you read?"

"I'm an orphan," Eve said. "When I was little, I couldn't even afford to eat. I was beaten if I asked for money, and I had to eat noodles from trash cans every day."

She looked up and sighed, "So I don't have any money to go to school."

Ling Ning and Fan Ming looked at each other, both feeling a little embarrassed.

Eve turned her head and saw the expressions on their faces. She burst out laughing. She grabbed a medicine box and swung it, saying, "Don't be so nervous—I'm just kidding."

Fan Ming was stunned for a moment: "...Ah?"

Ling Ning raised his eyebrows, a little annoyed: "Is this something you can joke about?!"

Eve blinked and said casually, "Okay, I'm sorry."

Without waiting for Ling Ning to speak again, she threw the medicine box in her hand over: "What is this?"

Ling Ning took it and looked at it: "...Liuwei Dihuang Pills?"

"It's used to treat kidney deficiency." Fan Ming added.

Eve dragged out her voice: "Oh - kidney deficiency -"

She and Ling Ning looked at Fan Ming at the same time.

Fan Ming: “???”

He immediately straightened his chest and defended his dignity as a man: "What are you looking at? I don't need it!"

"Okay," Eve readily agreed, throwing away the Liuwei Dihuang Pill and picking up the next one. "What is this?"

Ling Ning opened his eyes: "Cephalexin!"

Fan Ming and Ling Ning had rarely come across powerful prescription drugs like cefuroxime since the apocalypse, so they were inevitably a little excited. Fan Ming immediately said, "Can you give Qi some?... Eve? What are you doing?!"

Eve put down the hand holding the cephalexin, a troubled expression on her face: "Don't hide, come on, try taking one first."

"???" Fan Ming glared, "Do you have any common sense? You can't take cefuroxime casually!"

Eve looked at him with innocent eyes—she really didn't have the basic common sense of this world.

"...Alright," Ling Ning said, pushing the two of them apart. "I'll pick the medicine. Stop arguing."

Without Eve and Fan Ming's interference, Ling Ning picked out the medicine much faster by herself. Leaving aside some useless and expired medicines, she picked out four boxes of cephalosporin, three boxes of aspirin, some iodine and bandages, and even two boxes of anti-inflammatory tablets.

Ling Ning pushed the medicine to Eve: "These can cure colds and fevers. Give them to your brother and try them."

Fan Ming looked at it from the side and felt a little jealous: "So many..."

Now a box of cold medicine can be exchanged for a bag of rice on the black market. If I take Eve's small pile of medicine, I won't have to worry about rice for at least half a year... a year!

Eve reached out to take it, picked through the pile of medicine, took out the iodine and bandages, picked out a box of cephalexin, and threw the rest to Ling Ning: "These are for you."

Ling Ning was surprised: "What?!"

"I don't need so much," Eve said calmly, "and it's too troublesome to carry around."

"You can also exchange it for food!" Ling Ning shook his head in disbelief, "Why would you give me..."

Seeing her hesitation, Eve asked casually, "What's wrong? Don't you want these medicines?"

Ling Ning: "No...are you really going to give it to me?"

She felt that Eve might not know the value of these drugs, and was hesitant for a moment.

Fan Ming beat his chest and stamped his feet: "Fuck! If you don't want it, give it to me!"

Why did Ling Ning get all the credit? Whether it was a partnership or a collaboration, it was obviously...he was the one who met Eve first!

Eve glanced at him and said slowly, "She is prettier than you. I like good-looking people."

Fan Ming: “…”

Damn it, it was a wrong decision after all.

Ling Ning hesitated again and again, but finally gritted his teeth and said, "Well... since you gave it to me, I won't be polite!"

Eve hummed casually.

She crossed her arms over her chest and watched with a smile as Ling Ning quickly put away the pile of medicine. He took in the joy in her eyes without making a sound, then slowly stood up and opened his own packet of cephalexin.

——Judging from Ling Ning’s reaction, there shouldn’t be any problem with these medicines.

Seeing that Eve was about to give Qiwei medicine, Fan Ming hesitated: "Is he allergic to penicillin?"

Eve: "No problem." Seven is a zombie anyway.

Ling Ning: "Wouldn't it be too strong to take cefuroxime directly? Or..."

Before she could finish her words, Eve pried open Qi's mouth and poured several cephalexin pills into it.

Ling Ning and Fan Ming: "!!!"

“Stop, stop, stop!” Seeing Eve was about to fall, the two hurriedly stopped her, “Are you fucking pouring jelly beans?!”

Eve stopped in confusion.

"Didn't it say oral?" She pointed at Qi, "Isn't this right?"

They both: “…”

Jimei, didn’t you see that the medicine in Qi’s mouth is about to spill out?

Ling Ning said speechlessly: "Let me do it."

She was about to step forward, but was stopped by Eve: "Don't touch him."

Ling Ning was stunned for a moment and failed to retract his hand in time. As a result, Qi, who had half-closed his eyes, suddenly raised his head, his eyes wide open, and his sharp teeth stabbed straight at the back of Ling Ning's hand!

If Eve hadn't stopped him quickly, Ling Ning might have been bitten by him.

Ling Ning was startled and stepped back subconsciously: "...What's going on?!"

"He doesn't like strangers getting close to him," Eve said, holding Qi down without leaving any trace. "Don't move. Let me feed him the medicine."

Her hand pressed on Qi's neck, clearly without much strength, but Qi, like a fierce dog on a collar, retracted his fangs. He rested his head on the back of Eve's hand and snorted softly.

Eve: “.”

She ruthlessly pushed Qi's head away, pressed his jaw and shook it a few times, shaking off all the cephalosporin.

Looking at Qi's head that was shaken like a rattle, the other two said: "..."

"...That's enough," Fan Ming finally couldn't bear it anymore and stopped Eve from torturing Qi. "Cephalexin won't work for a while after taking it. Wait a few hours and see."

Eve let go of his hand doubtfully, but seeing that Qi didn't react, she said, "Okay."

Seeing that she had finally calmed down, the other two breathed a sigh of relief. Fan Ming looked eagerly at the pile of medicine Eve had given them and said to Ling Ning, "Shall we divide it up?"

Ling Ning didn't have any objection, and the two of them went to the side to divide the medicine.

Eve withdrew her gaze from them, moved her position, blocked Qihou with her body, and slowly lifted up his clothes.

After absorbing several nuclear crystals, she clearly felt that her magic power had increased. The surface of the originally dry witch's heart was rippling with a red glow like water waves - that was her magic power.

If she could only control a few zombies before, the upper limit now should be around ten.

After confirming the situation of the witch's heart, Eve covered Qi's clothes. She looked calm on the surface, but she was becoming more and more confused in her heart.

As her magic power increased, Qi should have increased as well, so why did she get a fever instead?

She sat back next to Qi, frowning and thinking. Suddenly, she felt a heat on her hand. Eve subconsciously pulled her hand away, only to find that it was Qi who touched her.

Qi seemed to want to grab her, but as soon as Eve moved, his hand fell empty, looking a little pitiful.

Eve pressed his head impatiently: "Behave yourself."

Unexpectedly, Qi felt her breath and leaned towards her hand. His soft black hair was messy and stuck to his cheeks. He looked pitiful, a bit like a puppy trying to keep warm.

The corners of Eve's mouth were almost stretched into a straight line. She stared at him for a long time, her green eyes like the calm surface of water. She placed her hand on his head and patted it reluctantly.

Qi was satisfied, and he leaned softly against Eve, finally staying still.

Eve placed her palm on Qi's forehead and paused for a few seconds, but suddenly realized something was wrong.

——The palm of my hand felt scorching hot.

Eve was stunned for a moment, then immediately stood up and put her hands on Qi's body. She realized that his temperature was much higher than before, like a red-hot iron, emitting scorching heat under Eve's palms.

Eve's eyes sank slightly.

"Ling Ning." She opened her mouth and called out coldly.

Ling Ning raised his head: "What's wrong?"

Eve turned her gaze away, and Ling Ning was stunned for a moment - when Eve didn't smile, a sharp light would appear faintly under her beautiful green eyes, making people dare not look directly at her.

She stared at Ling Ning and said slowly, "Qi's temperature has risen again."

"How could this happen?!" Ling Ning was stunned. He had taken cefuroxime, so how could his condition worsen?!

"The medicine is fake?" Eve walked towards her step by step, "Or... did you lie to me?"

"Eve, wait..." As Eve approached, an inexplicable sense of oppression came over Ling Ning. She subconsciously took a step back and said hurriedly, "Maybe something went wrong!"

But Ling Ning was baffled. She'd checked and the cephalexin wasn't expired, and she wasn't someone who wasn't suitable for it. So why was the drug having the opposite effect?

For a moment, countless thoughts flew through his mind. When Ling Ning was panicking, an idea suddenly rushed into his mind.

"I...I know!" she suddenly shouted.

Eve stopped and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Oh?"

"Because..." Ling Ning pointed at Qi fiercely, "He's going to evolve!"
