The scratches on his arm emitted an indescribable stench. Zhou An lay on the ground, his face pale, his lips purple, and two sharp teeth protruding from his mouth.
Just as the person was about to turn into a zombie, a large handful of white glutinous rice was pressed onto the dark wound with a "rip".
"Aaaaaah!"
Zhou An immediately rolled on the ground in pain.
"Quickly, hold him down and don't let him move!"
So one person held down Zhou An's legs, another person held down Zhou An's arms, and yet another person kept applying fresh glutinous rice to the wound.
"Goodness, this is even harder to massage than a pig during Chinese New Year!" one of them complained.
Zhou An forced a smile, his lips twitching slightly. "What, you've slaughtered pigs before?"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately boasted, "I'm not bragging, but in our village, whenever a pig is slaughtered for the New Year, every household invites me!"
"Really?" Zhou An's eyes widened. "I never expected a girl like you to be so amazing."
"What do you mean?" Yao Lili slapped Zhou An's face with one hand, annoyed. "Don't sleep! Explain to me what you mean by that? Are you looking down on us girls?"
No wonder he's a butcher; he has a really strong grip.
Two slaps jolted Zhou An, who was dazed, back to his senses. Seeing Yao Lili's unfriendly gaze, he quickly explained:
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, I was just praising you!"
Yao Lili pursed her lips, and seeing that the person was awake, she stopped pressing the issue: "You'd better be!"
"Applying glutinous rice can only temporarily relieve the symptoms of the zombie poison. To completely resolve the problem, you still need the universal antidote!"
With a serious expression, Zhou Yiwei scraped off the blackened glutinous rice from Zhou An's arm and then applied a fresh layer.
The freshly applied glutinous rice immediately made a "sizzling" sound, and then quickly turned black!
Zhou An groaned twice in pain, sweat instantly beading on his forehead. After a moment, he smiled bitterly and said, "It seems I can only accompany you this far..."
Zhou An's eyes were lifeless, his face ashen, and his lips tightly pressed together. Although he said he could accept his impending death, he was not at peace with himself.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" Yao Lili slapped Zhou An on the chest, giving him a couple of squeezes before righteously declaring, "It's just a universal antidote pill! I don't believe that none of these players have one!"
Zhou An: "..."
Don't think that just because you look so righteous, I can't see that you're taking advantage of me...
“That’s right, Xiao An.” Zhou Yiwei bandaged Zhou An’s arm, which was covered with glutinous rice, with a bandage. “There are always players who have the universal antidote. The reason we can’t trade it is simply because we didn’t offer a high enough price.”
Zhou An hesitated and said, "But..."
"No buts!" Jiang Wei released his grip on Zhou An's leg. "No matter the cost, we will save your life!"
Yao Lili nodded firmly: "That's right!"
His teammates' determination to save him moved Zhou An to tears, but Yao Lili interrupted him just as he was about to get emotional.
"Don't bow your head, or your crown will fall! Don't shed tears, or the bad guys will laugh!"
Zhou An: "..."
Zhou Yiwei: "..."
Jiang Wei: "..."
Spend less time in internet cafes, kid, or you'll become a complete idiot.
...
Seeing Zhou Qingfeng's private message, Gu Mian was somewhat surprised: "How did you know I had a universal antidote pill?"
Zhou Qingfeng: "I was just guessing. If you don't have it either, then there's nothing I can do..."
Gu Mian thought to herself: It's like she has it all, but she doesn't have Doraemon's otherworldly pocket!
"So what are you going to offer me in exchange? I only have two antidote pills, and I won't trade if the price isn't right for me."
Zhou Qingfeng: "It's alright. I was just asking for a distant relative of mine. As for the details of the transaction... I'll have him add you as a friend, and you two can discuss it yourselves."
Gu Mian: "OK".
Less than a minute after she sent the message, a player named Zhou Yiwei added her as a friend.
