Chapter 203 Despair, and the Light in Despair



His wife's forehead was burning hot, which made Zhang Yue extremely anxious.

"Why is it so hot? No, I need to go find you some medicine!"

"I remember Captain Li Zong and the others went out and found a box of medicine. I'm going to ask for some fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs!"

Zhang Yue was in a hurry and was about to go out.

But the door was blocked by heavy snow outside, and to get the medicine I had to wade through the snow, which was not easy.

"Zhang Yue, don't, don't go... cough cough... they won't give us medicine... cough cough..."

My wife was coughing and felt like her lungs were about to burst.

"Even if they lend it to me, ahem...how can they repay this favor in the future...with their lives?"

"I'm dying. My rotten life isn't worth it, it's not worth you going... cough cough... it's not worth you going. I owe you a favor!"

Zhang Yue shook his head frantically:

"No favor is more important than your life. I owe you what you owe me. At worst, I can repay you with my own life!"

"Don't say anything more. I can't give up on you. No way!"

Zhang Yue put on his clothes, opened the door and rushed into the wind and snow.

At this moment, the snow had fallen to a height of one man, but it was still soft. He waded through the snow as he hurried to the team leader Li Zong.

Fortunately, Li Zong's residence was not far from his home. He spent more than half an hour, shivering with cold, and knocked on Li Zong's door.

The place where Li Zong lived was a full two hundred square meters. In addition to him and Lin Xiner, there were eight confidants living there.

Now they were lighting three coal stoves in the house, and the charcoal fire was burning red and releasing heat.

A pot was placed on a coal stove, with rice and dried vegetables cooking in it, bubbling with steam.

Compared to other places, life here can be said to be like heaven.

Li Zong and Lin Xiner each had a bowl of rice porridge but they couldn't swallow it.

The two of them thought of the big bone with meat on it that Xiaohu was chewing, and their saliva kept flowing.

I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat like crazy!

"Zhou Chuchu's family must have quite a lot of supplies. Feeding meat to a dog is too extravagant!"

Lin Xiner thought carefully and said:

"Her family seems to have tamed a giant peach tree. When they fled Hai City, they lived in the tree, and the tree kept going on its own... I guess her villa was also contained in the peach tree before."

She had her eyes on the peach tree, but unfortunately, the peach tree seemed to have become a spirit and would not let anyone get close to it.

Li Zong stood up suddenly, staring at Lin Xiner solemnly, holding her shoulders with both hands, "Xiner, are you telling the truth?"

Lin Xiner felt pain and said coquettishly, "Be gentle."

Li Zong then took his hand away and said apologetically: "Sorry, I was excited..."

Lin Xiner said sympathetically, "It's okay. I understand you. I was also scared when I first saw the moving peach tree."

"If we could live in that tree, it would be very comfortable, and it would also be much safer to store some supplies."

Li Zong's eyes flashed with greed, "Xin'er, is what you said true?"

Lin Xiner said, "It's absolutely true. Not only did I see the peach tree, but Shu Yao and Huang Fang also saw it. You can call them over and ask them."

Li Zongdao then said, "No need... I believe you, Xin'er. I'm going to tell my uncle about this, so I need to confirm it. It doesn't mean I don't trust you."

Lin Xiner felt contempt in her heart, but her face showed no sign of it. "Yeah, I know."

This Li Zong's ability is just like his acting skills, very poor. If his uncle was not the captain and had not privyly provided him with enough coal to keep her warm in the cold winter, she would have dumped him long ago!

Thinking of that majestic, powerful and handsome man, and then looking at Li Zong, she felt as disgusted as if she had eaten shit.

She quickly looked at something else to divert her attention, glanced at the room where the supplies were stored, and said softly:

"Those medicines need to be kept safe. This is a critical time and they can save lives."

Li Zong said proudly:

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

"I'm going to use those medicines to win over the hearts of those with C-level abilities and above, and use them to do favors and maximize their value."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Knock knock knock, knock knock knock!

The knock on the door was urgent and fast.

"Captain Li, Captain Li, help!"

Li Zong was impatient and didn't want to open the door because it was too cold outside.

But he didn't open the door, and it seemed like the knocking would never stop.

Lin Xiner said, "Go open the door, or else it will be bad if someone sees you. Now is the time to win people's hearts."

Li Zong thought that what Lin Xiner said made sense, so he winked at his confidant, and that person reluctantly went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the noodle shop owner Zhang Yue fell to his knees with a thud.

"Captain Li, I beg you to give me some antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs. My wife is sick and needs these drugs to save her life. Please, please!"

He kowtowed on the ground again and again.

The cold wind made the ground cold and hard. He kowtowed repeatedly, and his head was broken and bleeding.

However, after seeing him, Li Zong directly refused.

"No, these medicines have been handed in. I don't have any medicine for you."

Zhang Yue's registration information stated that his ability was D-level softening. Obviously, he was not qualified to be bribed.

Zhang Yue was desperate, but he didn't want to give up.

"Captain Li, please help me mix some medicine... If you help me this time, I'll work like a slave for you in the future to repay you!"

Li Zong said impatiently: "They said those medicines have been handed in! This is a formal gathering area, there are too many people who need medicine. If you want to use the medicine, you can go and sign up and go through the process!"

"Okay, stop kneeling here. If your wife is dying, go back and watch over her. I can't help you!"

When Lin Xiner saw Zhang Yue, she knew that he was not worth winning over, so she did not say anything.

Li Zong's confidant closed the door to prevent the cold wind from blowing into the warm house.

Zhang Yue knelt outside the door, still vaguely feeling the warmth from the burning coal stove inside, but his heart felt as if it had sunk into an ice cellar.

Thinking that his wife was seriously ill, he was afraid that if he didn't rush back, he would not even be able to see her for the last time, so he immediately stood up and walked back.

But before he could take a step, his knee felt like it was splitting apart in pain, and he fell to the ground.

In just this short time, his knees were already frostbitten.

His tears fell in big drops, but before they hit the ground, they froze on his face.

He wiped away his tears, stood up and rushed home.

"Oh, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky, I beg you to save my wife, save her... I am willing to sacrifice my life and my soul, just begging you to save her!"

He prayed madly in his mind.

Knowing it is useless, but still hoping for a miracle to happen.

Then, a miracle really happened.

"Zhang Yue, where are you going? Your wife is sick, do you know? Come here and hold this pot of electromagnetic flowers!"

Gao Gangqiang was holding a pot of sparkling flowers. That pot of flowers was the brightest and warmest light in the darkness!
