Famine Year, She Stockpiled Supplies in Her Space and Became a Bandit

Luo Xi, the strongest special ability user and captain who had spent many years in the apocalypse, traversed through a spatial rift created by the self-destruction of mutated plants, arriving in a ...

Chapter 197 Zombie Crystal Core

"That's impossible." Baihu rushed over and grabbed the army doctor by the collar, roaring fiercely, "It must be because you're an incompetent quack that you can't cure the master. I'll kill you."

Although he said that, a trace of sadness had already appeared in his eyes.

Luo Xi looked at Jiu Xian on the bed and said to Bai Hu without turning his head, "Let him go, then go along the road and look for Nan Wushang. We'll talk after he comes to check."

Upon hearing this, Baihu pushed the army doctor away and said, "Yes, I will definitely bring Doctor Nan back."

After Baihu left, Luo Xi stared at Jiu Xian for a while before turning around and walking outside.

By this time, the rain had stopped, leaving the road muddy. Loxi waded through the mud and water until she reached a secluded spot, found a tree, jumped up, sat down, and gazed into the distance.

After a while, she seemed to make some kind of decision and took out a stainless steel box from her storage space.

"It seems this is the only way." Luo Xi took out the contents and held them in her hand.

Chu Zhe, who had followed them all the way, sighed: "Are you really going to do this?"

Rose nodded: "In a way, he ended up in this situation because of me. Since there's still a chance, I don't want to give up like this."

Chu Zhe glanced at her right hand, which was holding something, and reminded her, "But you know, what if Jiu Xian doesn't make it through..."

Luo Xi smiled calmly: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

After she finished speaking, she jumped down from the tree.

The next morning, Baihu finally brought Nan Wushang back. Before he could even change his clothes, Baihu dragged him into Jiuxian's tent.

"Dr. Nan, please take a look at our master."

Nan Wushang was furious, but when he saw Luo Xi and the others' faces in the room and Jiu Xian's appearance on the bed, he swallowed his curses and quickly went over to check.

This time, Nan Wushang not only took Jiuxian's pulse, but also examined his eyes and pressed on various parts of his body before withdrawing his hand. However, he remained silent for a long time.

Seeing this, Luo Xi already understood a bit of what was going on.

"How much longer can he hold on?" Rose asked.

White Tiger's face was filled with disbelief: "Boss..."

Luo Xi raised her hand to stop him from continuing: "The truth is the truth, why lie to yourself?"

The White Tiger wanted to say something, but was pulled away by the Azure Dragon.

"It'll be in the next day or two." Nan Wushang's gaze swept over everyone, and he sighed, "You can start preparing for your funerals."

Luo Xi hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Is there any way to make him sober for a while? I have a decision... but it would be best to get his consent."

Chu Zhe looked up and glanced at Luo Xi.

Do I agree?

Nan Wushang's eyes lit up as he thought of something: "Do you have some kind of treasure on you, the kind that can bring the dead back to life? Let me see it."

He reached out his hand.

"Boss, is it true?" Baihu's voice was full of surprise, and Qinglong looked straight over as well.

Loxi didn't hide anything and simply took out the crystal core she obtained when she killed the zombie king in the apocalypse and placed it on the table.

"If he eats this, he has a 40-50% chance of surviving, and his kung fu will be even better."

In the apocalypse, many ordinary people did this, hoping to gain superpowers or heal their injuries through this method, but the success rate was not very high.

"Great! The Boss is saved!" As soon as Luo Xi finished speaking, Bai Hu jumped up with joy: "Boss, you don't need to ask the Boss anymore. He would agree to even 10% or 20%, let alone 50%."

Not only can it save lives, but it can also restore martial arts skills. Such a miraculous medicine is something you can only dream of.

"Boss, do you still have any of this medicine? Give me one too." He looked on longingly.

Qinglong, being more composed and meticulous, had already noticed Luo Xi's somber expression.

If it were truly a valuable item, the leader wouldn't act this way.

"What if you don't survive?"

"I'm afraid the price will be quite high." Nan Wushang was a doctor and knew that everything had to be in balance, just like the divine tree of Luoxi, which he heard had blown itself up a couple of days ago.

Rosie nodded: "You're right, the price is not small. If he doesn't survive, he will become a monster that only bites people, and those who are bitten, even if they don't die, will become like him."

"And so it went, from you to me, from me to you, until there was no one left alive around."

Everyone in the military tent gasped.

"What a domineering plague! I've studied medicine for so many years and I've never heard of anything like it." Nan Wushang was also shocked.

"Boss, what should we do?" White Tiger scratched his head anxiously. "I don't want anything to happen to the Lord."

But what if we really fail...

Nan Wushang clicked his tongue: "Since the chief has already taken out the items, he should have made a decision long ago, shouldn't he?"

Luo Xi turned to look at Nan Wushang and nodded: "That's right."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "Qinglong, go find a deep cave and move Jiuxian there. We'll use the medicine there."

White Tiger asked, puzzled, "Boss, why do we have to move there? Can't we stay here?"

Luo Xi gave him a cold, disdainful look: "Are you trying to destroy the world here?"

"If he really turns into a monster and we fail to kill him immediately, have you thought about the consequences?"

The white tiger froze, and the consequence was that the soldiers in the camp were bitten one by one and turned into monsters.

How could Qinglong agree? "In that case, I will stay and keep an eye on the Lord. There is no need for you, Chief."

Baihu realized what was happening and said, "Yes, and me too. We're all the Lord's subordinates, so it's most appropriate for us to do this."

Seeing that Jiuxian's condition was getting worse, Luo Xi shouted, "What good are you guys?!"

"With your skills, if things really come to that, you'll be the first ones to turn into monsters. Wouldn't that just be a waste of time?"

If her calculations are correct, if Jiuxian eats this crystal core and turns into a zombie, he will at least become a zombie king. With Baihu's skills, he really won't be of much use.

Qinglong and Baihu wanted to say more, but Chu Zhe smiled at them and said, "Alright, listen to Luo Xi. I'm here, nothing will happen."

"Are you serious?" Rose looked over.

Chu Zhe smiled gently: "Of course, two people are always safer than one, aren't they?"

Luo Xi couldn't help but chuckle softly: "Fine, whatever you say."

Anyway, nothing bad will happen. She's not stupid; she'd definitely tie the person up like a mummy before administering the medication.

As for now, Luo Xi glanced at Nan Wushang: "Can you wake him up? It's best to ask him himself about this."

Nan Wushang wasn't sure either: "I'll give it a try."

After most of the day, Nan Wushang still couldn't wake Jiuxian up, which only made his already weak body even more vulnerable.

“I really have no other choice. If this continues, he won’t even need the medicine; he’ll just go straight to the underworld.” Nan Wushang put down the silver needles in his hand: “You decide what to do.”
