The situation was more serious than I had imagined. Yunwen suddenly fell to the ground, supporting herself with her hands, some black blood flowing out of her mouth, and blue veins bulged on her snow-white neck. She covered her head and made low sounds, obviously in extreme pain. Even though I had a bad feeling in my mind, I still put down the wooden barrel and went over to check on her condition.
In the dim light of the fire, her expression began to become unnatural, as if she wanted to control it but couldn't. Her face seemed to be neither smiling nor crying. It was obvious that something was beginning to control her consciousness once again.
I remember that when we set out in the early morning, Yunwen looked particularly pale and weak. After arriving at the post station, she also looked tired. They said they wanted to give the horses a rest, but in fact they also wanted Yunwen to have a rest. But now it seems that resting is useless. Those viral tissues are indeed still in her body and have not been eliminated by the drugs. Sooner or later, they will relapse.
It seems that Joseph's assistant is very sure about the effectiveness of his vaccine. In this case, the medicine can only be used to relieve the symptoms, not to eradicate the disease. I think the reason why Yunwen is so weak is because of the constant hostility inside her body. The black ball virus and the tissues of Yunwen's body consume each other. The medicine may only help Yunwen's body cells suppress the black ball, but the black ball will continue to counterattack and consume, fighting for control of Yunwen's body.
This is tragic. If the medicine can only provide relief, it basically spells Yunwen's death, because there are only three doses of the medicine, and I have already used one dose. Now there are only two doses left in my backpack. What's more terrifying is that these two doses may not be able to provide relief for Yunwen for such a long time, because after using it once, the black ball will definitely produce antibodies.
As a result, the efficacy of the next dose will inevitably be greatly reduced. I calculated that it has been exactly twenty-eight hours since Yunwen's last injection of the medicine, so the next injection will probably be less than twenty-eight hours, and the efficacy of the next dose will be even lower.
She was running out of time.
"Zhou Bo, you should go back. You don't have to stay here with me to die. In fact, I knew last night that I wouldn't live long. My own body knows it. I was just hoping for luck. Now I don't even have that hope. You should leave quickly and go back to find Bai Lu and Ying Chun. Don't worry about me anymore." After Yunwen finished speaking, she coughed up black blood again.
Her body must be in a battle between the effects of the medicine and the virus, so it was her organs that were damaged, which is why she was coughing up blood.
"There's no need to say such things. I've said that even if you die, I will bury you before leaving. After I've avenged you, I'll accompany you to the underworld." I said.
She looked uncertain and shook her head vigorously. Her eyes began to be covered with layers of red blood again. She shouted excitedly, "Stop talking! Go away, I don't want to hurt you! Please leave and take Sanfu with you. Don't let me hurt anyone."
"I'll find medicine for you. Don't get excited and stay calm." I said hurriedly.
I immediately found the backpack and was about to get the medicine when I saw Yunwen suddenly rushing out. When I arrived, she had already jumped into the well. With a splash, she disappeared in the turbid well water, leaving only bubbles rising up.
"Zhang Yunwen! What are you doing!?" I shouted anxiously.
Then I immediately took off my coat and camouflage pants, threw the wooden barrel down first, and then relied on my long arms and legs to barely hold on to the wall of the well, moving down step by step until I reached the surface of the well. Just as I was about to rescue her, I couldn't see Yunwen, so I could only loosen my arms and legs and dive into the water to look for her.
The water was murky and it was already dark, so I couldn't see anything. Plus, my ears didn't work very well in the water, so I couldn't hear anything. I was getting very anxious.
suddenly!
A pair of hands suddenly grabbed my neck tightly. I tried to pull her hands away and kicked with my feet. My throat was in so much pain that I almost passed out. The other person was pushing harder and harder. I didn't even have a chance to catch my breath. If I hadn't been trained to hold my breath, I would probably have drowned in the water now.
Not only that, I felt a mouth approaching from the front, trying to bite through my throat!
"I'm sorry." I said to myself.
Then I used the old method underwater. I pressed my hand against her jaw to affect her bite force. After pushing her away, I grabbed her right thumb with one hand and twisted it hard. I used the other hand to press down on her other fingers, instantly twisting her arm joints. She was just controlled by the black ball, but the pain and joint inertia still existed.
I immediately loosened my right hand. How could one hand strangle me? I immediately floated to the water, gasping for breath. Yunwen pounced on me again. I could hear her clearly in the water and predicted her next move (which was nothing more than strangling me). I prepared the rope on the bucket in advance, and as soon as she stretched out her hand, I immediately wrapped it.
After tying a few knots in front of her, I immediately went behind her and continued to tie her arms, shoulders and waist, fixing them under her armpits. After seeing that it was tied firmly, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Wait, I'll help you up."
After climbing up the well again, I pulled the rope and pulled her out of the well. She continued to pounce on me with her teeth and claws, so I hurried to find the medicine and syringe in my backpack. I disinfected the syringe with fire, waited for it to cool down, went over, used my body strength to hold Yunwen down, and forcefully injected her with the medicine.
Not long after, her composure gradually recovered, the redness in her pupils gradually dissipated, and she regained her gentle look, and coughed twice weakly.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Well...but you're pressing on me and I feel a little breathless." Yunwen said, biting her lips and blushing.
Only then did I realize that this action was somewhat indecent. Although I was pressing her down just now to stop her from moving around, now it seems that I am actually taking advantage of her.
I coughed and tried to get off her, but she grabbed my hand and exerted force. I didn't have time to support myself with my hands and could only use my elbows. Therefore, at this distance, my face was only a few centimeters away from hers.
"Sorry." I said quickly.
"It's okay, I pulled you. I did this because I hope you can fulfill my wish. Before I leave this world, please kiss me, seriously, kiss me, okay? Like a boyfriend and girlfriend, a couple, a sweet kiss... I know you will definitely not agree. You have rejected sister Yingchun, so you must have your own principles. But considering that I am about to leave this world, can you fulfill my wish?" Yunwen's eyes flowed with tears, her lips were pursed uneasily, and she looked at me with anxiety and expectation.
I gently wiped her tears with my hands, gently stroked her lips and her face, looked at her seriously, and said, "Actually, I don't have any principles. The reason I didn't kiss Yingchun is because I was afraid you would be angry, because your wish is also my wish, do you understand?"
She burst into laughter and put her arms around my neck. I kissed her lips tightly. I smelled her feminine scent, felt her snow-white skin and sweet lips. I felt as if there were birds singing and dancing in my head, and there seemed to be fireworks and firecrackers flying.
It can be said that we kissed for more than a minute. Afterwards, she looked at me tenderly and said, "Thank you. Now I won't feel sorry even if I die."
I stroked her hair gently and said, "The effect of this medicine may not be as long as last time. Generally speaking, the effect of medicine decreases by half. Fourteen hours plus seven hours, alas... Two doses can conservatively last until tomorrow night. Tomorrow is the last day. I will accompany you. After that, I promised to die with you after helping the foxes to get revenge, and I will definitely do it."
Yunwen saw that I was serious and didn't want to ask me to go back to find Bailu. She just said, "On the last day, I will accompany you to find Taiqiong Cave. Just think of it as you accompanying me on the last journey, okay?"
My eyes couldn't help but feel hot, and I nodded at her, tears falling due to gravity.
