Chapter 473 Holy Water
Hearing the coughing filling the classroom, Hao Ren felt a pang of pain in his heart.
But then she thought of the vaccines that had been brought up, and she became a little excited.
It's alright, the sun will soon rise and dawn will break, and light will soon return to the world.
Composing herself, she instructed her trusted aide, "Go and give all these people water."
There are more than 2,000 infected people in the heavily quarantined area, and they only have five people. The workload is still quite huge.
The confidant didn't ask any questions, but simply filled bowls or cups with water and fed it to those people.
Hao Ren said from the side, "Be careful not to spill it."
The infected people did not resist at all, even though they all suspected that the water had been poisoned.
Well, if I don't have the courage to die myself, it's better to let someone else do it.
I can't bear this living hell any longer.
Hao Ren helped feed each child water one by one, and after feeding them water, he moved them aside to avoid confusion.
Those who had drunk the water stared blankly at the dilapidated fan in the classroom and the spider webs growing in the corner.
As I prepare to leave this world, looking back on everything that has happened, it all seems like a dream.
They were all somewhat dazed. Oh well, death would end their suffering from illness.
It only took a minute.
Two minutes.
Three minutes.
...
Ten minutes have passed.
Instead of the pain of dying from poisoning, my body felt lighter and lighter. Although I was still cold, I didn't shiver from the cold, and I no longer had a stuffy nose or an itchy throat. I didn't have an uncontrollable urge to cough, and I couldn't sleep at night.
Are they hallucinating because they've been poisoned?
I unconsciously touched my forehead; it didn't seem hot anymore?
So they waited another ten minutes.
Something's not right.
If it's the poison taking effect, then this prelude is far too long.
People sat up on the cold mat, one, two, three, more and more people sat up, and at the same time they saw each other's movements.
They all found themselves feeling very light, as if they had regained the lightness they felt before they were infected with the virus.
"Hey guys, something's not right. I drank the poison, but I don't feel any discomfort at all. In fact, I feel like I'm getting better and better?"
"Me too. Apart from being a little hungry and cold, I don't feel any other problems."
"I feel so good, I feel like I can plow two acres of land right now."
Hearing this, Hao Ren, who was feeding people water, finished feeding the people around him and then stood up and said with a smile, "Comrades, what you are drinking is not poison, but holy water that can kill the virus."
"Holy water?"
"Manager Hao, what's going on?"
"Yeah, holy water and all that sounds too fantastical."
“The name doesn’t matter,” Hao Ren continued. “What matters is that we’re saved. A big shot named Ling Ran has come to the Weiyang base. She’s the one who brought out this holy water, which can kill the M1 virus.”
One young man asked incredulously, "So, we don't have to die?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Hao Ren with excitement.
If you can live, who wants to die?!
They're all just desperate to survive, and death is the only option left.
"certainly."
Hao Ren was moved by their excitement and will to survive, and his eyes reddened slightly: "The Weiyang base is so big, and we will need everyone's help to build it in the future. None of you are going to leave. You'd better work hard."
"It's true! We don't have to die!"
"It's not a hallucination, my body is really fine."
"Dad, we don't have to die."
"Yes, son."
"Mom, you don't need to give birth anymore. We can continue to be mother and daughter in this life."
"Yes, we've survived the virus, and nothing can defeat us anymore."
Everyone was talking excitedly, and those who had been numbly waiting to be fed the "poison" finally realized what was happening.
What?
It's not poison?
It's holy water that can kill viruses!
I want to drink!
Those who hadn't yet drunk the holy water looked expectantly at Hao Ren and the other four superhumans, hoping they would feed it to them soon.
Soon, the entire classroom was finished being fed.
Then came another classroom, and another classroom after another. Those who had drunk the holy water no longer needed to be quarantined. Apart from the fact that they did not have the virus in their bodies, they were not afraid of being infected again.
So the news of the holy water quickly spread throughout the entire middle school.
The others, who had been listless and waiting to die, suddenly became excited.
Has the M1 virus been resolved?
Seeing those who had been taken into quarantine but now appeared healthy in front of them, they believed the truth.
"Long live the Weiyang Base! Long live Manager Hao!"
Someone corrected: "Manager Hao said that the holy water was brought over by an adult named Ling Ran."
Everyone immediately cheered: "Long live Lord Ling! Long live Lord Ling!"
The shouts of so many people carried outside and were heard by many people with supernatural abilities, who all looked puzzled.
"What's wrong with these survivors? Why are they so agitated? Usually when I pass by here, it's deathly quiet, and you can't hear a sound."
"I don't know, but who is Lord Ling? Does our base have a master with the surname Ling? How come I didn't know?"
"Oh well, let's stay away from here and avoid getting the virus."
"We are superhumans, what are we afraid of?"
"Have you forgotten the rumors about the base? Several superhumans were rumored to have been infected with the virus, and then we really never saw them again."
"It's fake, right? One of them is rumored to be a level three ability user. How is that possible? I'm a level two ability user and I haven't been infected."
"It's better to believe it exists, and people with superpowers are already at risk of being infected."
However, these superhumans didn't have to wait long. The next morning, they learned through the broadcast why the group of survivors had cheered the day before.
"Wow! A vaccine to kill the M1 virus? What kind of god is Ling Ran! Now I don't have to worry about whether to leave the Weiyang base anymore!"
"That's right, as long as the virus is dealt with, what do we have to be afraid of?"
"That's not how it works. Most of the top fighters in the base have left. If we encounter a zombie horde, we..."
"Pah! Don't jinx it."
"That's right, and we also have a Level 5 ability user at our base! With this Level 5 ability user, plus the benefits of our base, we can gradually attract more experts as we develop."
"From another perspective, with those experts gone, wouldn't we become the backbone of the base?"
"Good lad, how come I didn't think of that? Our benefits will probably be improved too."
"Haha, looking at it this way, this is actually a good thing."
Not everyone cares about the lives of ordinary survivors like Hao Ren does. Some superhumans, for example, only care about their own gains as long as the fire doesn't reach them.
Meanwhile, Ling Ran, who was repeatedly mentioned on the radio, provided Hao Ren with more than two hundred bottles of mineral water.
Those 100 bottles of mineral water probably saved about 5,000 lives.
The water supply operation must continue today. We must ensure that everyone has a drink, even if they are about to leave the base.
To prevent them from carrying the virus and bringing it to other bases.
