"I was able to escape because I took medicine."
He paused for a moment after every few words he spoke, and after stumbling over his words, Xiao Mingye picked up the medicine bottle and asked, "What kind of medicine is this? Did you use this medicine to get injured these few times?"
"Yes," Daiqin nodded hurriedly. He was frightened by the water torture and didn't dare to hide anything. "I don't know what this medicine is. She gave it to me when I was dealing with the Southern Gu High Priest in Mobei."
High Priest, Southern Gu Earth Medicine...
Xiao Mingye held the medicine bottle tightly: "When was this bottle given to you? When was the last time you contacted each other?"
Daiqin thought for a moment: "Half a month, I can't remember clearly."
During the conversation, he kept coughing and spitting blood. Without medication to suppress it, his old injuries recurred. Fortunately, the doctor Xing Maozhi had called in before had not returned yet, so he could come and treat him directly.
Letting the jailers watch over Daiqin, Xiao Mingye walked straight into the depths of the imperial prison.
Ayiduo was huddled in the corner. When she heard the sound, she moved her ears and crawled over.
"Let me out! I'll help you save them. You can ask me to do anything. Just don't let me stay here any longer!"
She looked crazy and was on the verge of collapse.
Seeing that she had no new injuries, Xiao Mingye turned to the jailer beside him and asked, "What happened? Was she tortured?"
The jailer was also puzzled and shook his head when he heard this: "No torture was used. We knew that this witch's methods could even fall victim to Lord Chao. Apart from delivering meals every day, Lord Xing did not allow us to approach this place."
That would be strange, Xiao Mingye looked at Ayido thoughtfully.
The high priest of Nan Gu wouldn't be able to become a demon after being locked up for a few days, right?
He took out the medicine bottle and waved it at Ayiduo across the railing: "What medicine did you give Daiqin?"
Ayido paused and stared at the medicine bottle.
Xiao Mingye repeated it again patiently.
"You... have caught Daiqin?"
Isn’t Daiqin in Mobei?
"The Wala Mongols have been defeated, and he fled here. He is now in the imperial prison." Xiao Mingye had no intention of hiding it from her. Seeing Ayiduo's expression of disbelief, he continued, "If you don't believe me, I'll let you see him later. Now answer my questions first."
Ayiduo looked at him carefully, as if trying to determine whether what he said was true or not. Seeing Xiao Mingye frowning slightly and showing obvious impatience, she finally spoke: "The healing medicine uses Gu worms as medicine. The effect is a hundred times stronger than ordinary healing medicine."
"Not only will you not feel any pain, even if you're stabbed and turned into a bloody mess, after taking this medicine, your body will recover to its uninjured state in a very short time."
The jailer beside him widened his eyes slightly when he heard this.
This is a good thing. If it is used on the battlefield, wouldn’t everyone be able to become a brave and skilled soldier?
Xiao Mingye pursed his lips slightly: "Is this medicine harmful to the human body?"
Ayiduo's eyelashes drooped slightly. "To borrow a phrase from your Tianqi people, medicine is three parts poison. This medicine is very effective in healing wounds, so it's easy to take a pill directly after a minor injury instead of thinking about slowly healing it."
"Over time, the accumulation of injuries over the years will reach the limit of the body's endurance and it will collapse."
Combining all the features, Xiao Mingye and the jailer had an answer in their minds at the same time:
Five Stone Powder!
It is addictive and can make people forget their pain, but it also has no healing effect.
Having seen how terrifying the Five Stones Powder was, the jailer shuddered at the mere thought of it, and his previous idea of using the medicine on the battlefield instantly vanished.
If it really comes into use, the enemy won't even need to send troops to fight, they will collapse on their own.
Unexpectedly, this thing turned out to be another form of Five Stones Powder. Xiao Mingye lost interest all of a sudden and stopped asking any more questions.
…
Seeing Emo's mood getting worse, Jiang Zhiyu said, "There's no need to be so pessimistic. Look, since the zombie virus is in everyone's body, then they must have it too."
"Will they allow themselves to be eroded by the virus and become zombies?"
A word of warning woke everyone up from their dream. A look of realization flashed in everyone's eyes, and the depressing atmosphere just now disappeared in an instant.
Yes, if we talk about those who least want to become zombies and who value their lives the most, it must be those people in high positions. If they are not in a hurry, there must be a solution.
"Besides," Jiang Zhiyu continued, "even if there really is no way out, what does it matter? Everyone has the virus in their bodies and will eventually turn into a zombie. Isn't that perfect? There's no need to fight each other. We're all one race, and at most, when we communicate later, we can just change 'us humans' to 'us zombies.'"
Everyone: “…”
You found the highlight.
"The defense here is so tight, and there are only a few people in the entire building. The key must be here!"
"But this building is so big, where exactly is he? There are surveillance and listening equipment here, and they were just destroyed. How could he let it go? I'm afraid he'll be caught as soon as he gets out."
"I'm not afraid of being beaten, but I'm mainly afraid of that thing that has a shielding ability. It's like having a gun without bullets. It's so uncomfortable!"
Jiang Zhiyu asked seriously, "Is the blocker only meant to block you?"
"What's the meaning?"
I thought she was being sarcastic and said she was afraid of blocking that person, so she said unhappily.
"I don't think their blockers are smart enough to block out individual people. Once the blockers are on, everyone loses their abilities. But we have an absolute advantage this way."
He explained seriously, and the person realized that he had misunderstood her meaning, and asked embarrassedly: "What advantage?"
Jiang Zhiyu smiled: "Advantage in numbers."
"There aren't many people in this building. With the shield turned on, one punch from each person is enough to suppress them."
That makes sense, but: "What if he shakes someone?"
Although there are not many people in the building, there are a lot of people with special abilities in this base.
"No," Jiang Zhiyu retorted, "He didn't release many people because he was suspicious. If he believed that everyone in the base was loyal to him, he wouldn't have done this."
"Besides, aren't you also from this base? You should know whether the people in the base are loyal or not."
Hearing this, everyone nodded.
really.
If they were loyal, they would not be standing here now. They came here to find a place to stay, but now they are treated as pawns that can be discarded at any time by those people.
The same goes for the other people in the base. Everyone is looking for a piece of land that has not been occupied by zombies, not for him.
If that gentleman really dares to ask for help, I'm afraid that none of the people he asks for will be there to help him sincerely, as they will all be there to get a piece of the pie.
Thinking of this, everyone's minds suddenly became active, and they were eager to try it out.
"What do you mean? Just hit it out?"
"beat!"
