[Shiyin, things aren't going well here. You'd better come over.] Agareth's annoyed voice came through the receiver. There was a lot of noise on the other end of the line, as if they were arguing about something.
Shi Yin silently extended a finger and pushed the phone a little further away.
[Shit! Shut up, idiot!]
If you keep arguing like this, you're all going to die.
Next came the grating, screeching sound of tables and chairs hitting the floor. Clearly, Agaray was furious; the crashing noises suggested he had kicked over several tables and chairs.
[If I weren't still single, who would want to deal with this mess?]
Agaray roared a few times, and the other end immediately fell silent. Nanzhu wisely picked up the phone again.
Just from listening to Agareth's tone, Shi Yin already had a premonition of what was about to happen. Of the five of them, apart from Helmod, none of them had a good temper.
It's not that they're inherently irritable; rather, their minds are crammed with one or two hundred memories. Every day, besides dealing with their own messes, they also have to meticulously recall the details of those one or two hundred memories. Anyone would be driven crazy by that.
Seeing an idiot makes me want to smash their head in; seeing a moron makes me want to die.
"Still those same few states?" Shi Yin asked.
"This time it's a little less; only two states need your attention. And while you're at it, could you also seal off the coastal areas?" Agareth sighed, his voice weary. "I'm afraid we won't be able to take the third state soon."
"This time the efficiency was quite high," Shi Yin commented casually.
"This time, we killed a lot." Agareth said this through gritted teeth. "Some people really take advantage of us."
“I told you long ago, in the apocalypse, kill the Holy Mother first.” Shi Yin shrugged: “Give me your location, I’m free right now.”
I'll find you a suitable anchor point as soon as possible. I can't fully utilize my abilities right now, so I owe you a favor. I'll be available whenever you call once the team is formed.
Let's skip the formalities.
After saying that, Shi Yin hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Shi Yin leaned back in her chair, somewhat lost in thought. This trip to Agartha was proving to be quite troublesome.
Agarai is different from Helmod. Helmod's technological talent points are already maxed out. It seems that she cut open the space, but in reality, the signal transmitter was installed by Helmod, and the disposable gloves that held up the space and prevented it from shrinking were also worn by Helmod.
Nan Zhu saw that after Shi Yin cut through space, Hermod was able to walk out unharmed. First, he ruined a pair of mechanical gloves and a set of special protective clothing. Shi Yin only needed to find the direction of the signal and swing his knife.
However, Agareth's power is emotion, so she needs to find a signal coordinate with a strong emotion.
It's impossible for Shi Yin to fly to other countries to help.
First, time is of the essence. Second, airplanes are too easy to tamper with. If she's not careful, she might be fine, but it could cause trouble for other passengers.
"Miss? What's wrong?" Nan Zhu felt uncomfortable under Shi Yin's gaze, and the back of her ears felt a little hot.
"Will you cry?" Shi Yin asked curiously.
Nanzhu: "Hmm?"
"Never mind, you don't seem to know how." Shi Yin touched her chin. Should she find a good actor, the kind who can cry on cue and laugh on cue? That would be much easier.
“Let’s go to the hospital.” Shi Yin made up her mind: “The sorrow that can be heard through the walls of the emergency room must be even more heart-wrenching.”
"What is this?" Nan Zhu asked, puzzled.
“Agaray’s ability is emotion. When the apocalyptic war comes, he can double the team’s attack power.” Shi Yin explained while putting on her coat: “Our national conditions are different. His side is difficult to control and cannot spare the manpower to prepare a well-organized army. His ability is almost ineffective against zombies.”
"Theoretically speaking, finding a happy emotional anchor would be fine, but he can't be happy, so he will probably use sadness as his emotional anchor."
Nan Zhu understood. The hospital's emergency room was always filled with sadness; no wonder Shi Yin suddenly went to the hospital.
"Are zombies immune to emotional control?" Nan Zhu pondered. If so, wouldn't Agarai be a pure support character?
"I guess so. Zombies are controlled by their emotions, but it doesn't matter." Shi Yin carefully chose her words, trying to explain more clearly: "When a person's emotions jump between various peaks, they will either go crazy or their brain and heart will not be able to take it and they will die, but zombies are different."
"They were already dead."
"It's like bullets riddling zombies with holes except for vital organs; if they don't die, it's meaningless. But sadness can probably slow them down, so it still has an effect."
"I see." Nan Zhu nodded.
"Sound! Are you going out? Wait." Just as the door opened, Helmod arrived in front of Shi Yin. Seeing that Shi Yin was about to leave, he quickly came to her side: "Three potions, a nutrient, a strengthening agent, and a healing agent."
"So fast?" Shi Yin was surprised. This was not the first time Hermod had invented an important potion before the apocalypse, but Hermod's speed had been getting faster and faster each time.
The last time, two doses of the drug were invented three days before the apocalypse. The last time, three doses were made a month before the apocalypse. This time, it's only been a few days and it's already been made.
Sure enough, I always try to compete with geniuses; having a good brain combined with superpowers is practically cheating.
Nutrient solution: Eliminates hunger and replenishes all the energy and nutrients a person needs in a day, but it cannot replace food; it is only an emergency supply for soldiers in harsh environments.
Enhancement Agent: Temporarily enhances human skills and superpowers. It is milder and has fewer side effects than its enhanced version of stimulants. The effects will wear off after a day of weakness, but using three doses in a row can achieve the same effect as stimulants.
Treatment Agent: Effect 1: Shortens wound healing time and accelerates healing. Effect 2: If scratched by a zombie, use within one minute to halt the spread of the virus for twelve hours; timely removal of the infected area can prevent becoming a zombie.
"Fortunately, you can still trust my speed in this area." Helmod admitted his talent without hesitation.
Then, under Nan Zhu's astonished gaze, Shi Yin picked up the blue vial and pressed it directly against her neck, pressing some kind of button. With a small click, the blue potion rapidly descended.
Next came red and green. Shi Yin took the medicine and injected it into her neck without hesitation. If Nan Zhu was not mistaken, this was just an experimental sample, right?
Soon, Shi Yin's words confirmed his thoughts.
“The drug is too strong; it could kill someone.” Shi Yin rubbed her neck, her expression unchanged. “A body that needs a nutrient solution must be in a weakened state. The nutrient solution was injected too violently at the moment of administration; the heart couldn’t handle it.”
"The enhancer is not effective enough, but the side effects are too strong. When the effect wears off and the body falls into a state of weakness, the body may not be able to withstand it and will face a crisis."
"The treatment is okay, but using all three together isn't enough to neutralize the effects, and it could easily lead to death if that happens."
