Chapter 425 The epidemic is rampant (23)
Cangwu didn't care whether he would be infected or not, and took care of Xia Yueke personally.
Xia Yueke only had a slight cough at first, but later it became very severe and very uncomfortable. She kept wanting to drink water, so Cangwu kept pouring water for her.
Later she felt very hot and very cold, as if she had a fever.
Xia Yueke was in a daze, but she was worried in her heart. It seemed that she really had the disease.
What should she do? She didn't want to lose the game at all, but there were only four days left until the end of the game.
According to her observation, after contracting the disease, the orcs would basically transform into zombies on the afternoon of the third day.
She didn't want to become horrible and ugly. She wanted to live. If she couldn't survive these few days after the game, it would be really unfair.
Now I hope the old witch doctor can make an antidote quickly in the next few days to save her life, otherwise it will be the end of her.
Xia Yueke tried hard to stay awake and made a final struggle, but in the end she couldn't resist the desire to sleep and soon fell asleep again.
Outside, Cangwu once again urged the old witch doctor to make an antidote.
The old witch doctor did not rest either. He looked at the little orc zombie with grief, but he was still experimenting with various herbs on it and extracting data.
Although the little zombie had lost its ability to move, the "ho ho ho" sound coming from its throat was endless.
No matter whether they are humans or orcs hiding nearby, they can hear the noise here.
They were all delighted, and some of the bravest ones would occasionally peek from the bottom of the cave and whisper, "Mr. Witch Doctor, have you made the antidote? One of my brothers is dying! His body is covered in rashes, and he keeps scratching. When he scratches, pus oozes out. What should we do?"
The old witch doctor did not respond, but threw down a packet of medicine, which seemed to be able to suppress the spread of the rash.
The man happily took it and left. Several people who were walking slowly saw it and waited silently, hoping that the old witch doctor would quickly develop an antidote. It would be even better if it could turn those zombies back into zombies. Although this was just wishful thinking.
Another day passed, and Xia Yueke's fever had turned from high to low, and her face was pale. Lu Chunlai also came to see her. She was no longer as lively as before, but stood at the door with red eyes.
"Xia Yueke, you must hold on. The old witch doctor will be able to make an antidote soon. He has made great progress. Just wait two more days, just two days!"
Xia Yueke nodded gently on the bed, "Okay. I'll try my best."
Only then did Lu Chunlai go out and continue to help the old witch doctor day and night.
Xia Yueke knew in her heart that she was comforting herself, but she really didn't expect that in her heart, she was already a very good friend and was cared about so much.
Xia Yueke was lost in thought when she suddenly felt an itch on her neck. She subconsciously wanted to scratch it. As soon as she stretched out her hand, before her nails touched her skin, a large hand grasped it firmly.
"Xia Yueke, don't catch me."
Cangwu's voice came from behind him. He had originally wanted to come to see if Xia Yuke had enough water to drink, but as soon as he entered the room, he saw her trying to grab him, and his heart skipped a beat.
Cangwu guessed that it was a rash. If she scratched it, the condition would definitely get worse, so he absolutely couldn't let her do that.
Xia Yueke tried hard to shake off Cangwu's hand, but his hand was like an iron clamp and she couldn't move at all.
Not only her neck, but also her waist began to itch. The itchiness became stronger and stronger, completely beyond her control.
"Let me go, just for a moment, let me scratch it, it's really itchy..." Xia Yueke's voice was full of pleading.
At first, Xia Yueke still retained a bit of rationality, but in the end, the itchiness was so unbearable that she reached out to push Cangwu, trying to push him out.
But she was no match for Cangwu. Her hands were instantly grabbed by Cangwu, and then he wrapped her tightly in a warm and strong embrace.
Cangwu held her restless hands firmly with one hand, and with the other hand, he put his arm around her waist, pulling her into his arms. He rested his chin lightly on the top of her head and coaxed her softly:
"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine. Don't scratch, don't think about it."
Xia Yueke was in his arms, her body still twisting uncontrollably, trying to break free and scratch the unbearable itch, but Cangwu's arms were airtight, and she could only feel the body temperature of the two people closely fitting together in this confinement.
Xia Yuekeke didn't have any other thoughts. At this moment, she just felt that Cangwu was extremely annoying. How could he be so annoying?
"Get out of here, I don't need you!"
Xia Yue's voice became a little louder in anger. She was completely irrational at that moment. Whoever blocked her from scratching her itch would be the person she hated the most.
After being stopped by Cangwu several times, Xia Yueke began to want to defeat him, so she took advantage of Cangwu's inattention and pinched his face, even trying to scratch his face with her fingernails, "Get out of my way!"
Cangwu was extremely helpless and was covered in bruises. In the end, he had no choice but to knock Xia Yueke unconscious.
He carried the person back to bed.
When Xia Yueke woke up again, she found that her hands were tied by vines and she couldn't break free. At this time, she didn't know that many small red spots of different sizes had grown on her body.
There are also two on my face, like red moles.
Because there were only red spots on Xia Yueke's body and she was not scratched, she didn't look particularly scary.
But she didn't know why she was tied up, so she shouted angrily, "Cangwu, what are you doing? Why don't you untie me quickly? Are you trying to rebel?"
Cangwu heard the sound and quickly ran in from the cave entrance. He stood beside Xia Yueke's bed with an innocent expression, "No, if I untie you, you will definitely scratch, and then the rash on your body will only get more and more."
Xia Yueke was stunned. "I have a rash?"
Xia Yueke wanted to touch her face. Was it covered in rashes? Wouldn't that be horrible? She didn't want to be disfigured!
The fear in Xia Yueke's eyes was too obvious, and Cangwu quickly said, "Don't be afraid. You don't have many rashes on your face, but you have a lot on your body. And I tied you up on purpose, so you didn't scratch any of the rashes. It's not scary at all."
Xia Yueke already knew why Cangwu did this. Although she felt that this was not right, she really couldn't control herself and could only say, "I know. Has the old witch doctor made the antidote?"
When Cangwu heard this, a smile finally appeared on his face. "The old witch doctor said it can be done tonight. If that's the case, you will definitely be able to survive these two days. Let's wait for the game to end together."
Xia Yueke nodded, her eyes shining. She had finally become a little more sober and was no longer in a daze.
"Okay, if possible, I really hope to be matched with you in the next game."
Xia Yueke usually regarded Cangwu as just an ordinary teammate, and a reliable one at that, but she never expected that at the final moment of the game, if it weren't for Cangwu, she would have been dead long ago.
