Chapter 427 The epidemic is rampant (25)
Cangwu looked closely and saw that there were indeed two or three zombies with hideous faces and foul odors slowly climbing up the mountain wall, and they were about to enter the cave!
He was startled and pushed Brother Bai away without hesitation, shouting anxiously:
"Hurry up! If we delay any longer, we'll all die here! I'll definitely give you the antidote once the witch doctor makes it, but I have to give it to Xia Yueke first. She can't hold on any longer!"
Before he finished speaking, Cangwu rushed away like an arrow and instantly arrived in front of the two zombies who were about to crawl into the cave.
He kicked one of the zombies hard in the chest. The zombie flew straight out like a kite with a broken string, and fell heavily to the foot of the mountain with a "bang".
The other zombie was startled by the sudden attack. Before he could react, Cangwu kicked him in the abdomen and he fell down with a scream.
These two kicks not only successfully kicked the two zombies away, but also caused the two zombies who were trying to climb behind to lose their support and roll down with them.
At the same time, the old witch doctor in the cave heard bursts of roars coming from outside. Knowing that something was wrong, he hurriedly packed up his belongings.
His face was full of fatigue and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he had not slept for several days and nights.
He quickly picked up a large animal hide bag filled with various herbs and tools, ready to escape from this dangerous place at any time.
Liu Dawei had also left. Before leaving, the old witch doctor gave him a lot of suppressive drugs, which could help the dwarf hold on for half a day.
The old witch doctor also agreed that they would have a share in the next antidote.
Only then did Liu Dawei climb up the hillside and leave with peace of mind.
After Cangwu dealt with the zombies, he held Xia Yueke in one hand and the old witch doctor in the other and headed towards their other lair.
Lu Chunlai climbed up the mountain and followed silently. She couldn't fall behind now.
Brother Bai looked at the backs of the three people, coughed again, and then gave the order, "Let's go, follow them!"
He is not so stupid as to entrust his life to someone else's promise. Since this antidote has been given to Xia Yueke, he must have a share of the next antidote!
After all, the zombies were one step slower than them in climbing the mountain. They only climbed up after everyone had disappeared.
Xia Yueke and Cangwu have arrived at their second hiding place.
Just as a few people arrived, Lu Chunlan and Bai Ge also arrived.
Xia Yueke was already exhausted, and was half-carried, half-supported by Cangwu to the bed. Her hair was sticky to her pale face, soaked with sweat, and her lips were chapped and bloodless.
The red rash spread all over her body, like the marks left by countless small insects. Some places even oozed blood due to her previous unbearable scratching, which was shocking to see.
Brother Bai walked in carelessly. He was tall and strong, with a black leather jacket tightly wrapped around his muscular body. His leather boots were covered with mud and mottled bloodstains, and it was unclear whether they were from zombies or someone else.
His short black hair was unruly and a hideous scar on his brow extended from the corner of his eye to his temples, adding a bit of ferocity and unruliness to him.
There was a cynical smile on his face, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a row of white teeth, but his eyes were filled with cold cunning. He glanced at the people in the room with a sense of oppression.
Facing Cangwu's vigilant eyes, Brother Bai didn't care at all. He grinned, and that smile was filled with a bit of sarcasm and calculation, "What? Are you afraid that I will snatch it away? Don't worry, it just so happens that I don't know if this antidote is real yet. What if this old man mixes it wrong? So you can let her try it first."
After saying that, he crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame, looking like he was enjoying the fun.
When Cangwu heard this, his expression became awkward for a moment and he glanced at the old witch doctor.
The old witch doctor's beard stood on end when he saw Cangwu's suspicious eyes, and he snorted softly, "What? You don't believe me? Don't forget Adi."
Adi is the young orc who turned into a zombie. Although he lost a lot of weight after being tortured by the old witch doctor, he was still able to take the antidote.
Adi now looks like an orc with green skin. At least his sanity has been restored. The most important point is that the zombies can't tell whether he is one of the same kind or something else.
She didn't even go up and bite him again, but treated him as air.
Adi also seemed to be immersed in his own world, still in the cave. Perhaps the tragic death of his father and mother had hit him hard. Even after he turned back to normal, he was still staring at something in a daze, but he was no longer interested in raw meat.
Cangwu thought of Adi and Xia Yuke's current condition, and finally stopped hesitating. He took out the white bottle and gave her the medicine to drink.
Xia Yueke slowly swallowed the antidote, her dry throat moving with difficulty. As soon as the medicine entered her throat, she felt a surge of heat rushing through her body. It started as a slight warmth, then spread rapidly throughout her body like a prairie fire.
Her eyelids felt as heavy as if they were weighed by a thousand-pound lead block. Her head tilted and she fell to the side.
Cangwu was quick to support her. His heart was in his throat and his eyes were fixed on her pale face.
Time seemed to freeze, and every second seemed to stretch endlessly. About ten minutes passed, and Xia Yueke's fingers moved slightly, as if struggling in her sleep.
Then, her brows slowly frowned, her eyelids began to tremble slightly, and her breathing gradually became rapid.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes abruptly, and the confusion and pain in her eyes were gone, replaced by clarity.
Her chest heaved violently and she gasped for breath, as if she had just woken up from a terrible nightmare.
"I'm, okay?" Xia Yueke's voice was still a little hoarse and revealed disbelief.
She slowly raised her hands and looked at them over and over again. The dense, itchy red rashes on the back of her hands were still vivid in her memory, and the places where she had secretly scratched them before seemed to still have the illusion of pain.
But at this moment, what came into view was intact skin. Although the skin was still slightly red, the rashes that had tormented her for a long time had actually disappeared.
She was surprised and happy, tears of excitement flashed in her eyes, and a smile of surviving a disaster appeared on her face.
Cangwu laughed happily, "Xia Yueke, you're finally well. That's great, that's great."
Cangwu's eyes were filled with joy, and he was as happy as a child.
A glimmer of joy flashed in the old witch doctor's eyes. "Great, it worked! I'll work harder now and try to make hundreds of bottles of antidote. Chunlai, come and help me!"
Lu Chunlai was so excited, "Xia Yueke! You're finally better! That's great... I thought..."
Lu Chunlan was so excited that she shed tears and hugged Xia Yueke and cried.
I just cried twice and was driven away by Cangwu. The old witch doctor took me away to do hard labor.
Xia Yueke finally laughed out loud.
Brother Bai reminded him, "Don't be too happy here too soon, old man. The antidote is still uncertain. If you can't make it in the future, I won't forgive you."
He crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes scanning everyone. The hideous scar was faintly visible in the dim light. "I've been keeping an eye on you. Next time you give me the antidote, you better not play tricks. Otherwise, this cave won't be peaceful anymore."
After saying that, he snorted coldly and leaned against the wall, his face still wearing that cynical yet threatening expression.
