Chapter 241: 145 Why Didn’t You Say It Earlier! (Third Update)_2

...

Qiu Yiming stared at Josh with an ugly expression and roared, "You say you can’t do it? Aren’t you a Wood Element Superpower? How could you not manage?"

Josh’s face was equally unpleasant. He had just tried the method that Fang Yuxin had mentioned before, cutting away the decaying area around the wound and then healing it with the Wood Element Superpower. However, the effect was not good. He had expended a large amount of his superpower to finally clear the Zombie Virus near the wound and heal it.

But the efficiency was really too slow! Worried about failing, he had deliberately chosen a particularly small wound, one that was not severely infected. Yet, even such a small wound had consumed nearly a third of his superpower!

Each injured person had many wounds, big and small. At this rate, he wouldn’t even be able to heal a single injured person with all his superpower! He feared that before his superpower could recover, all these wounded would have turned into zombies!

With no other option, he had to secretly find Qiu Yiming and tell him the news. Seeing Qiu Yiming’s angry face, he licked his lips and said with difficulty, "Major Qiu, I really can’t save them. You’d better make a decision quickly. These people will turn into zombies soon, and they must be executed as soon as possible!"

How could Qiu Yiming bring himself to do it! It was one thing for outsiders, but of his own people, seventy to eighty were infected with the Zombie Virus. If he executed them all, he would only have about a hundred people left under his command!

"Useless! Useless!" he cursed loudly. If it weren’t for Josh’s Wood Element Superpower still being useful, he would have been furious enough to kill.

Fang Mengyao was right beside him. Hearing this, her expression flickered. Her game system contained a type of Antidote; according to the description, it was effective against the Zombie Virus. However, she dared not bring it out, as she couldn’t explain where it came from.

Yet her change in expression was caught by Qiu Yiming. He suddenly recalled what Fang Yuxin had once mentioned. She said Fang Mengyao had something called a ’Suppressant’ that could inhibit cell activity. So, did she have other things as well?

Desperate for a solution, he sent Josh away and then dragged Fang Mengyao to a secluded corner to ask her, "Xiao Yao, tell me, do you have a way?"

Fang Mengyao instinctively said, "No, I only have a Space Superpower, not a Wood Element Superpower. How could I have a way?"

Qiu Yiming didn’t believe her at all; Fang Mengyao’s expression just now had said otherwise! He cradled Fang Mengyao’s face, gazing at her deeply and pleadingly, "Xiao Yao, don’t lie to me, okay? If you have a way, just tell me. I’m begging you."

He was usually a very proud person and had always been aloof towards Fang Mengyao. Seeing him lower himself like this profoundly affected her. Internally struggling for a moment, she ultimately couldn’t resist the plea in Qiu Yiming’s eyes and confessed, "I once obtained a type of Antidote, but I don’t know if it will work."

Qiu Yiming’s eyes suddenly brightened, and his voice became cheerful, "No matter! Desperation is the mother of invention!"

Fang Mengyao nodded, discreetly exchanged for ten doses of Antidote with the Crystal Core, and handed them over to Qiu Yiming with difficulty, "This is all I have. Give it a try."

The Antidote was in capsule form; ten doses meant ten capsules. Although he felt it was not enough, he still thanked Fang Mengyao, then selected from the wounded the one with the strongest ability and most potential and gave him a capsule.

After the man swallowed the Detoxification Capsule, everyone watched for his reaction. He began to tremble, and then the blackness around his wound gradually disappeared, and the blood oozing out returned to its normal color.

Witnessing this scene, everyone’s eyes lit up.

It was effective!

Qiu Yiming immediately said to Josh, "Go help him stop the bleeding and heal the wound!"

Josh didn’t dare object and obediently went forward to treat him. Luckily, the man did not have many wounds and was quickly healed.

Then, Qiu Yiming selected five more wounded with potential and distributed the capsules to them. He purposely saved the remaining four capsules, planning to take them back to the Safe Zone later for research.

The losses this time were too great, but with these four capsules, the higher-ups would definitely not hold him accountable.

As for the remaining wounded... Without Fang Yuxin here, he could only give up on those people.

Fang Mengyao saw his dilemma but did not exchange for more Detoxification Capsules. She was no fool; scarcity added value. If she brought out too many Detoxification Capsules, not only would she be suspected, but what if others got infected later? She didn’t want to be expected to provide Antidotes all the time!

Seeing that the abandoned wounded had the color of defeat on their faces, aware that they had been given up on, she deliberately said, "It’s a pity Sister Xin isn’t here. If she were, maybe these people would have a chance."

Hearing this, the faces of many changed.

Fang Mengyao saw this and felt smug. She then said, "Brother Yi Ming, didn’t you go to find Sister Xin today? Why wouldn’t she come with you?"

At these words, resentment showed on many of the wounded’s faces.

Indeed, if Fang Yuxin had come along, they might have been saved! But she refused to come!

Qiu Yiming’s face was extremely troubled, and he gave Fang Mengyao a deep look, knowing she did it on purpose, but said nothing. He also harbored resentment inside. If Fang Yuxin hadn’t refused to help him, to be by his side, his men wouldn’t be doomed!

Just then, someone hesitantly spoke up, "Please... may I ask if the person you’re talking about has the surname Fang?"

Qiu Yiming’s face changed instantly, his gaze sharp as a knife stabbing towards the speaker, who turned out to be one of the leaders who had escaped with them, part of the trio of factions. Qiu Yiming asked, "Have you seen her?"

The man was not sure, but he nodded anyway, "I’ve seen a beautiful woman with the surname Fang. I heard someone call her ’Sister Xin’ and others ’Xinxin,’ but I don’t know if she’s the person you are talking about."

Qiu Yiming’s face grew even more unsightly, "Why didn’t you mention this earlier! Where did you see her?"
