Chapter 44 Pleading
"Then why don't you go to this place?" Ye Li asked curiously.
Mr. Xu smiled and said, "I once had such an opportunity, but I didn't cherish it. Since then, I have never had another chance."
"What exactly is this holy city you're talking about?"
"Are you talking about the Holy City?" Qi Yuanchuan and his teammate A walked in.
"Yes, you know that too?"
"Of course," Teammate A said, extending his hand with a grin. "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Xu Jie, and I'm Mr. Xu's grandson."
"Hello," Ye Li stretched out his hand and shook hands with him.
Xu Jie continued, "The Holy City is constructed from three large cities. Legend has it that when the world was first in chaos, eight elites from various fields came together to create the Holy City and protect a portion of the population. As time passed, the population of the Holy City grew, and the descendants of the eight founders chose a new location and built two more cities. The three cities formed a triangular area, which is called the Holy Land."
Xu Lao rushed to say, "There are teams patrolling this area every day. One reason is to protect the people in the city from zombie attacks, and the other is to prevent invasions from outsiders."
"But aren't we all the same kind?" Ye Li was puzzled.
"Alas...same people, different fates!" Xu Jie sighed, "If I were born in the Holy City, I might be the same as them."
Qi Yuanchuan suddenly said, "Because we haven't been able to solve the zombie problem so far, the safe space is limited, which leads to limited resources. If the Holy City rashly accepts outsiders, it will cause instability within the Holy City. They will not do good deeds at the expense of the Holy City's future."
Mr. Xu glared at Qi Yuanchuan unhappily: "You are standing and talking, your waist doesn't hurt!"
Ye Li also noticed that Qi Yuanchuan used the word "we".
Xu Jie said, "The captain is from the Holy City."
Ye Li sincerely asked Qi Yuanchuan: "Can you get the medicine from the Holy City?"
After hearing what Ye Li said, Qi Yuanchuan looked at Mr. Xu in confusion.
Mr. Xu quickly told Qi Yuanchuan about Xiaomu and Xixi's situation.
"We don't have any medicine here, so the condition is difficult to treat. It's best to treat the disease with the right medicine, so that the disease can be cured."
Qi Yuanchuan pondered for a moment and said, "The Holy City is too far from here. It would take three days and three nights to walk there. Moreover, we might encounter a group of zombies on the way."
After hearing this, Ye Li felt helpless. She had no relatives or friends with Qi Yuanchuan, so there was no reason for her to ask him to help her do this.
"Mr. Xu, is there any other way to treat it? Do you know how to use Chinese medicine?"
"Chinese medicine?" Elder Xu said, "My two children are not in good health. I'm afraid they can't take the slow effects of Chinese medicine. We need something that works quickly."
"Uh," Xu Jie suddenly raised his hand and said, "Didn't I pick up an old car a while ago? After repairing it, I found that it seems to be usable. If we take the car, will it be much faster?"
"Then it will take only one day to get there," Qi Yuanchuan said.
Ye Li looked at Qi Yuanchuan: "Captain Qi, can you draw a map of the Holy City for me? Sorry for the trouble."
"Are you going to go by yourself?"
"What else? I have no reason to ask you to go with me? Besides, the road is dangerous, isn't it?"
Qi Yuanchuan smiled and said, "Even if you get there, you're an outsider, and they won't let you get close."
"Then..." Ye Li bit her lip. She decided to be shameless for once. She stood up straight and bowed heavily.
