Chapter 206: Chapter 206 A Small Accident
“The monster’s king? What is that?” Chu Yunsheng asked while picking up Xiao Si, and then he started running.
“We have never seen it before, All the people who have seen it are dead!” Xiao Si’s voice was s.h.i.+vering, “we used to hear its roar from deep inside the spore forest all the time, but it hardly ever came out… Unless… unless…”
“Unless what” Chu Yunsheng frowned.
“Unless the monsters inside the forest start to fight with the insects outside again, and it must be a large battle, small conflicts wouldn’t make the monster’s king come out of the forest… Right!… Let’s go… quick, there must be a large battle near here!” Xiao Si said nervously.
“Monsters inside? Insects outside?” Chu Yunsheng was even more confused now!
“Yes, ever since the spore forest appeared, the red-sh.e.l.led insects and other insects outside of the forest never stop fighting the monsters inside the forest, that’s why we can survive this long!” Xiao Si explained.
“Okay…” Chu Yunsheng said. He paused for a second then asked again, “Do you know any other places like this?”
“Mr. Lennon, have you not finished it yet?” Xiao Si said anxiously. He sounded very concerned.
“It’s already done, but I still need to get some more of those monsters after I cure the girl.” Chu Yunsheng said simply, of course, he would not tell Xiao Si what he wanted to do.
“Mr. Lennon, could you teach Xiao Jing the method, we… we have a lot of people…” Xiao Si didn’t know why he suddenly had the courage to ask.
Chu Yunsheng laughed, “even if I teach her, she still won’t be able to use it. It’s just like your night vision eyes.”
Xiao Si instantly realized that he had asked something that he should not have asked, “I’m sorry Mr. Lennon… I… I…” he apologized in panic.
“It’s okay,” Chu Yunsheng patted Xiao Si’s shoulder and took out a Wu city’s map and said, “when we get back to the camp, could you help me to mark down all the areas that have the flying head monsters. Also all the safe pa.s.sages you can remember, as detailed as possible. Thanks.”
“We have a map in the camp, it was also made by me. But that map only contains the pa.s.sages near the camp. We haven’t traveled outside this area for a very long time. The spore plants grow very fast. The pa.s.sage we traveled earlier might disappear in a month,” Xiao Si nodded his head and took over the map.
The sound of the monster king’s roar slowly faded out into the forest. But Chu Yunsheng and Xiao Si didn’t slow down at all. It took them quite a while to return from the forest back to the camp.
“You are a local, right? What did you do for work?” Chu Yunsheng felt sleepy, so he habitually took out a cigarette and readied to light it up.
The girl only had two days to live after she was infected with the virus. Since the time she had gotten infected until now, it was almost 12 hours, so Chu Yunsheng didn’t have the time to take a break.
He took out one cigarette and pa.s.sed it to Xiao Si. Xiao si was overwhelmingly flattered by this unexpected gesture, he quickly took off the gas mask and took over the cigarette with his trembling hands
“I almost forgot about what it smells like, the last time I smoked one was almost half a year ago…” He took a long drag of it and paused it for a very long time then exhaled it slowly.
“I used to be a driver, doing all kinds of transportation businesses, but I didn’t have a business license. So you could say that I was driving illegally. My family helped me to borrow money from everywhere they could think of. My dream was to pay off my debt and build my own house, then get married… but then the world became like this… hehe!” Xiao Si let out a hollow laugh.
“But, I am not the worst off, with my eye’s special ability, I can get more food than other people. A lot of female survivors would like to marry me. Some of them even had a very high education.
Mr. Lennon, do you know how hard it was for a person like me to marry someone like them in the age of light…
I know that I am not good enough for her. She is smart and pretty, so I care for her, as long as I have food, she will not be hungry… she also cares about me, whenever I went out with brother Zhao, she would be very worried… I mean… I still have a family… right? But we couldn’t have kids. Because we would not be able to raise them…”
Chu Yunsheng smiled and patted his shoulder again, “Xiao Si, You did your best…”
“Mr. Lennon, you are a Skywalker, you probably don’t know how ordinary people feel. Even a person who has a small ability like me can be so popular in the camp, let alone a Skywalker. Xiao Jing is a pretty girl and a warm-hearted person, she is also a Skywalker. She is every man’s dream. But no one dares to express their feelings towards her, even brother Zhao.”
He laughed, then he suddenly looked around and lowered his voice, “some girls even said that as long as grandpa Qin wants, they are all willing to… It’s crazy… They are crazy…”
Chu Yunsheng was dazed for a second, he didn’t realize Xiao Si was talking about grandpa Qin’s age. Just when he tried to say something he saw Edgar running towards him.
“Mr. Lennon, they have disa.s.sembled the gun. Do you want to take a look?” Edgar was panting while talking to Chu Yunsheng.
“Really?” Chu Yunsheng threw away the cigarette and stood up. Then he saw Xiao Si quickly pick up the cigarette he had thrown away and put in his pocket and smiled embarra.s.sedly at him.
“We have done it with Wu Weijian before, so it isn’t difficult for us to do it again,” Shan Yuxiong said. He was just right behind Edgar.
“Okay, let Edgar bring the parts over, I’ll have a look, Chief Shan, can you find a room for me, I need to prepare something to cure the girl.”
“It’s already done!” Shan Yuxiong said readily.
Chu Yunsheng nodded his head and said to Edgar, “same as usual, watch the door for me. Don’t let anyone interrupt me.”
“Don’t worry Mr. Lennon, I’ll not leave,” Edgar said.
According to the ancient book, there were five types of alexipharmic talismans. Amongst those five types, Chu Yunsheng was only familiar with the fire elemental poison, it was also the type of talisman he still had backups of.
Although each one of them was used for a different type of poison, the way of making them was quite similar to each other.
However, it still took Chu Yunsheng more than 3 hours, and three tries until he finally completed a new type of alexipharmic talisman.
‘I’m ready now, take me to her,” Chu Yunsheng said after he came out.
“This way!” Chief Shan said.
“You will all need to leave the room, wait outside!” Chu Yunsheng said after he saw that people tried to squeeze into the room.
Zhang Zizhao and the other people looked at each other, they hesitated for a minute then finally left the room one by one.
“You need to leave as well.” Chu Yunsheng said to the old man.
“I can help you.” Qin Renbo said carefully. In fact, he also wanted to see how this powerful daywalker would cure the poison. He might be able to learn something from it.
“No need, you need to leave. I’m tired, so don’t waste my time,” Chu Yunsheng declined.
Indeed, he was very tired, he has not had a good rest ever since he met this group of people, and he had just broken out from the area of the slimy substances before he met them, so the feeling of physical and mental exhaustion was tremendous.
Qin Renbo blushed, probably he thought that Chu Yunsheng knew what he was trying to do. So he also left the room quickly.
Chu Yunsheng didn’t want to waste any time. After he saw that everyone left, he immediately cast out an alexipharmic talisman.
The symbol of “cure” was instantly projected into the air. Then it slowly scattered and transformed into a phantom fog that warped around Jing Mouyo. The fog was slowly getting smaller and smaller, it seemed like the fog was being absorbed by Jing Mouyou’s body.
Just when everything was going well, an accident happened, maybe because Chu Yunsheng was too tired, he had forgotten about what the fire elemental energy would to people.
Luckily, there was only a small amount of fire elemental energy stored in the talisman, and it was used as a part of the trigger to activate the talisman. That small amount of fire elemental energy wouldn’t kill anyone, especially the skywalker like the girl, even if her ability was very weak. However, it was more than enough to burn anything that was used to cover her, including her clothes.
Chu Yunsheng was focused on the energy movement earlier, so when he realized what happened, it was already too late. Seeing her naked body, Chu Yunsheng was stunned for a second.
But then the alexipharmic talisman started to have a reaction inside her body, it instantly attracted Chu Yunsheng’s attention.
The girl’s face was twisted when the three types of energy started fighting inside of her body. Fortunately, the fight didn’t last very long. When the energy from the talisman joined the fight to help the wood elemental energy inside the girl’s body. The virus instantly lost its advantages. It was quickly destroyed by two energies together.
She did not wake up immediately, however, her expression returned to normal, meaning that she was finally okay now.
Maybe, she was still very weak, that was why she didn’t wake up immediately.
Chu Yunsheng looked around, he did not find anything that he could use to cover her, so he took out a brand new quilt that he had stored a long time ago and used it to cover her.
Chu Yunsheng was very tired. After the girl was cured, he only had one thought, which was to take a rest as soon as possible.
“She is fine now, but she needs rest, so don’t let anyone else get in!” Chu Yunsheng said and then hurriedly left the place.
“That’s fast,” Zhang Zizhao was surprised. He felt like he had just come out of the room, but this man already said she was okay now?
“If Mr. Lennon said that she is fine, then she is definitely okay!” Edgar said positively.
Everyone was looking at each other still not quite believing what he said. In the next second, all of them pushed the door in…
