Chapter 142 Infection



Of course, the mission had personnel in charge of logistics.

Muwei's room was mostly filled with his own belongings, quite a lot of them, including several boxes.

Even if most people knew about it, they would hesitate for a moment about where to start.

But for over twenty years, Chu Jinjin was either searching for supplies or searching for places where supplies were hidden. Over time, she developed an almost instinctive sense for where things were hidden.

Her gaze lingered on the box for a brief moment before she pounced onto the bed without hesitation.

Mu Wei had already rushed in after her. He understood what Chu Jinjin meant, and seeing her turning over in bed, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Jinjin, you won't find it. How could I possibly find something so valuable..."

He swallowed the rest of his words.

Chu Jinjin rolled over gracefully, sticking her head under the bed as if she were about to roll over, and then suddenly looked up: "Thank you for your guidance, Prince Mu."

I wasn't sure if it was under the bed.

Mu Wei's reaction was practically written all over his face.

Mu Wei: "......."

Mu Wei paused briefly before leaping forward. He was standing while Chu Jinjin lay on the bed, half her head still off the edge. However, Chu Jinjin seemed to have anticipated this, and without even raising her head, she delivered a powerful punch without warning.

The lower abdomen in the middle.

Mu Wei immediately knelt down, his stomach churning. He gritted his teeth and said, "Chu Jinjin, don't go too far. I won't let you take it."

"One minute it's Jinjin, the next it's Chu Jinjin, one minute it's all tender affection, the next it's treating me like an enemy. Please, can you not change your mind so quickly?" Chu Jinjin had a small box in her hand. She opened it, and inside were two identical plants.

Mu Wei: "...Put it down!"

Chu Jinjin was a little disappointed: "There really are only two trees."

The fact that it was hidden so well, coupled with Mu Wei's attitude, is enough to prove that he wasn't lying; there really are very few plants that can cure zombie poison.

"Don't waste your energy, you can't stop me, no matter how many people are there." Chu Jinjin quickly stuffed the box into her arms and said with a smile, "Muwei, I owe you a favor, I'll treat you to dinner another day."

She felt much more relaxed instantly.

One tree for Wang Feng.

Keep the other two, in case Mother or Zhan Qin gets bitten someday, they won't go crazy.

After saying that, Chu Jinjin kicked open the window and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

No one could stop her in the darkness.

On the other side.

Wang Feng's parents and wife went from joy to unease and worry. If something happened to Chu Jinjin, it would be a disaster for the Great Qi Kingdom, and the whole family would die ten thousand times over.

Zhan Qin remained calm, standing beside the imperial physician to observe Wang Feng's condition.

He turned around abruptly when he heard footsteps outside.

Chu Jinjin gave him a look that everything was going well, then took out the withered plant and handed it to the imperial physician.

She knew nothing about herbs and hoped the imperial physician could figure something out.

"What kind of herb is this?" The Imperial Physician carefully took the herb, examined it closely for a moment, and then handed it to the others. "Has anyone seen this before?"

As a royal physician, he was not far from representing the highest level of medicine today, especially in the basic skill of identifying medicines.

Several people risked their lives to observe closely, even smelling the odor, and drew their conclusions.

I have never seen it before, and it does not belong to any of the prescriptions.

Chu Jinjin nodded. It seemed that Mu Wei hadn't lied. She glanced at Wang Feng.

"The fever has been persistent, and we've tried all sorts of remedies." The Imperial Physician sighed softly. He had never felt so helpless as he did tonight. High fever is a common illness, and no matter the circumstances, a dose of medicine should have some effect.

However, the medicine seemed to have flowed elsewhere.

Just as Chu Jinjin said, the high fever made Wang Feng delirious, but his strength was slowly increasing, and the rope could hardly hold him up anymore.

"Miss Chu, does this medicine have to be taken entirely to be effective?" The Imperial Physician, an expert in the field, knew that according to Mu Wei, it could be taken orally or dissolved in water. He keenly sensed that Mu Wei himself might not even know the specific usage method.

All I know is that it can cure diseases.

This is a terrifying infectious disease that has never been seen before, and it concerns the lives of all people. There is only one tree, and if the whole tree is consumed, it means that all leads will be lost.

He wanted to keep some of it to take back and gather all the medical experts in the field to see if they could find a way to save them.

Chu Jinjin blinked: "That's what he said."

The Imperial Physician was in a difficult position and turned to look at Wang Feng.

Wang Feng's wife was so angry that she said directly, "My lord, my husband's life is hanging by a thread, what are you still hesitating for?"

It cannot be said that the imperial physicians were heartless; compared to the entire world, one patient is nothing.

Just then, footsteps sounded outside again.

Xiao Huai arrived in plain clothes. With such an important matter at hand, he could not stay still. He rushed over immediately after finishing his meeting with the ministers.

"Rise, all of you." Xiao Huai waved his hand, then paused slightly when he saw Zhan Qin beside Chu Jinjin, before quickly regaining his composure. "How is the situation?"

The Imperial Physician was just worried about not knowing what to say, but now someone had taken charge. He recounted the whole story, and finally knelt down, choking back tears, and said, "Lord Wang, I will only take half of it for research. I am 50% confident that it will have the same therapeutic effect."

The Imperial Censor was a second-rank official, higher than Wang Feng's father's position, so this kneeling was a very grand gesture.

Wang Feng's father was so anxious he jumped up and down: "You...!"

Xiao Huai didn't readily offer his opinion, and looked at Chu Jinjin: "What do you think?"

Chu Jinjin sighed and took out a plant: "Take this. Give half to the imperial physician who was bitten, and take the other half for research."

Everyone: "..."

"Stop looking, there aren't any left. There are only two. I originally wanted to keep them for emergencies." Chu Jinjin wasn't that noble; giving away one more was already her limit. She had to keep one.

Who knows what other crazy things Muwei might do?

The imperial physician then forced himself to resist the urge to experiment on Wang Feng and carefully fed the whole herb into his mouth.

After only half an incense stick's time, Wang Feng's struggles lessened, the bloodshot in his eyes faded, and his body temperature gradually decreased.

"It really works, it really works." The imperial physician's fingers never left Wang Feng's pulse. "General Wang, can you hear me?"

Wang Feng nodded with difficulty. He turned his head with difficulty, his eyes finding Chu Jinjin, his voice hoarse: "I, I felt like I was summoned by something just now, and I wanted to rush out."

Chu Jinjin immediately understood: "Wood?"

"I don't know." Wang Feng was a little unsure how to put it, so he organized his thoughts. "There's a voice in my head shouting, but I can't make out what it is."

Chu Jinjin took a deep breath.

Mu Wei turned soldiers into half-zombies. These half-zombies could bite others, spreading the virus while still keeping them under Mu Wei's command. That's terrifying.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be possible to expand indefinitely?

Whether it is or not, you'll find out by trying.

The imperial physician who was bitten hadn't taken his medicine yet, so he found a few notorious death row inmates to bite him a few times.
