What Zhou Yingxue said was the objective truth. She had both her hands occupied, so she really could not apply the medicine on Li Ran.
If she let go, the creeper vines next to her would probably swallow her whole.
Moreover, Zhou Yingxue's current attitude was like she was watching a show. 'Master, aren't you so pure and innocent? You even need to wear gloves when you're holding my hand. Let's see what you're going to do now.'
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. "Forget it, I won't apply the medicine. I believe she'll be able to pull through."
Zhou Yingxue, "???"
This was a matter of life and death. How could he not apply it just like that? Master, are you still human?
Li Ran, who was unconscious next to him, suddenly said, "I can apply it myself …."
Zhou Yingxue and Ren Xiaosu looked down and saw that Li Ran had already woken up. She was struggling to take the black medicine from Ren Xiaosu's hands.
"Don't let go of my hand. Otherwise, those creeper vines will attack you again," Zhou Yingxue added. There was no way they could watch the show anymore. Li Ran's strong desire to survive prompted her to wake up.
Li Ran applied the black medicine on herself with one hand with great difficulty. The blood on her face was visibly recovering. Not only did the black medicine have healing effects, but it could also produce blood.
Ren Xiaosu wondered if the first item the palace unlocked for him was such an omnipotent medicine for external injuries. Could it be because it was afraid he would accidentally die?
Then what the hell was the effect of this black medicine when taken orally?
Li Ran realized her strength was rapidly recovering. She was surprised. "What medicine is this? It's so effective."
"It's a secret ancestral formula that's only passed down to men and not women," Ren Xiaosu said casually.
As soon as he said that, Li Ran looked at him with sparkling eyes. "Did you come here specifically to save me?"
As she said that, Li Ran actually reached out to hug Ren Xiaosu. However, Zhou Yingxue, who was in the middle, pulled her away. "I think you're daydreaming. Don't say 'you' or 'you'. It was two people who saved you. Can't you use the word 'you'? Why are you ignoring me? We're not here to save you. Don't be so smug. "
Li Ran felt a little regretful that she did not manage to hug Ren Xiaosu. Didn't they say that the hero who saved the damsel in distress had to repay the favor with her body? Why was it that when the damsel in distress wanted to repay the favor with her body, the other party seemed to be unwilling to do so? The plot was not right!
But before he could think too much about it, the creeper vines in the entire stronghold started moving restlessly. Ren Xiaosu watched as the vines beneath his feet surged towards the center of the stronghold like a tidal wave.
"What's going on?" Ren Xiaosu was surprised.
"It looks like … a new hunt has begun," Zhou Yingxue said.
"Hurry, let's head to the center of the stronghold!"
…
When Luo Lan and the rest hid in the store, the view of the outside world was completely blocked by the shutter door, and the store became their last refuge.
The Kyung Clan soldiers surrounded Zhou Qi and Luo Lan while Zhou Qi sat cross-legged on the ground. The blue hue in his eyes kept dimming.
The crazed creeper vines seeped in through the gaps under the shutter door. But no matter how many vines got in, Zhou Qi would use his superpower to extract the moisture out of them. In the blink of an eye, the vines turned into dried vines and shattered into powder.
"How much longer can you hold out?" Luo Lan asked.
"An hour at most." Zhou Qi looked worried. He asked the reporter from Hope Media, Zhou Tao, "You said the Wang Clan troops will only be arriving in the afternoon? What time is it now? "
"It's 11 AM now." Zhou Tao sat down against the corner of the wall. He found a pen and notebook from the store and kept writing on it.
Luo Lan asked, "What are you writing?"
Zhou Tao, whose face was covered in dust, said, "I want to record in detail everything that happened after the disaster. I have to write down everything that I can't explain over the phone. The creeper vines should only be interested in living things. After I'm done writing, I'll call the chief editor and tell him the location of the notebook. After the Wang Clan troops eliminate it, the reporters from Hope Media will come and retrieve the notebook. That'll be the most authentic first-hand information. "
People could die, but the things they recorded had to be left behind for the world. This was Zhou Tao's attitude and dignity.
Luo Lan looked at Zhou Tao with a smile. There were still bloodstains on Zhou Tao's face, and his palms were scraped from the fall earlier. He said to Zhou Tao, "I used to think that the people of the Central Plains were all rather cowardly. Just look at the Wang Clan. They're clearly ambitious, but they still insist on slandering our Kyung Clan. But I didn't expect you reporters from Hope Media to be so adorable. "
Zhou Tao did not even look up. "I'm just doing my job."
"With a group of people like you around, the legacy of humanity won't really be completely cut off. In any case, I can't do that," Luo Lan said in admiration.
Fatty Luo's greatest strengths were that he valued friendship and was reasonable. Secondly, he was never jealous of others. He would just admit that the other party was stronger than him. It was not like he would lose anything if he admitted it.
At this moment, Luo Lan looked at Zhou Qi. "I'm sorry for bringing you to the Central Plains."
Zhou Qi curled his lips. "I'm here to make money, so what's there to be sorry about? Riches come with risks. I know what I'm doing."
"Actually, you don't have to work so hard to make money." Luo Lan sighed and said, "Although you love money so much, Qing Zhen and I both treat you as our best friend. We're just worried that you won't treat us as your friends."
Zhou Qi fell silent for a moment. "You're still full of lies even when you're about to die. Aren't you afraid of going to hell and having your tongue pulled out?"
Luo Lan chuckled, and Zhou Qi also started laughing. The Kyung Clan soldiers next to them did not know why these two big shots would suddenly laugh when they were about to die.
"I didn't expect to die together with a damn fatty like you in the end. How unlucky," Zhou Qi said. Slowly, he was nearing the end of his rope. "If we get out of here alive, can you give me Qing Zhen's secretary?"
Luo Lan's eyes widened. "Why are you always thinking about my brother's secretary?"
Just as he said that, the creeper vines outside seemed to sense that Zhou Qi was already exhausted. They suddenly sent a large number of vines into the shop. Then, the creeper vines did not attack the people in the shop. Instead, they forcefully lifted the shutter door with their vines.
Amidst the commotion, Luo Lan stared dumbfoundedly as the shutter door was lifted away by the creeper vines. The entire shop was now wide open. He muttered, "There's no more door."
Zhou Qi did not know if he was answering himself or describing the objective reality in front of him.
But when Zhou Qi saw the scene outside, he was stunned. "Look, don't you see three people walking over here?"
Luo Lan took a closer look. "Am I seeing things? Isn't that Ren Xiaosu? "
Along the way, he kept grumbling about how great it would have been if Ren Xiaosu were here. They would definitely not have died.
When Luo Lan was grumbling, Zhou Qi was still a little unconvinced. But now, he was convinced.
He saw Ren Xiaosu, Zhou Yingxue, and Li Ran walking hand in hand on the creeper vines as though nothing had happened!
Amidst the cries, chaos, and clamor of the world, everyone was busy trying to stay alive and reminiscing about their lives.
But at this moment, three people were strolling in front of everyone while holding hands. They looked like they were going to fly kites or have a picnic.
Time seemed to have slowed down a little. The three people were being played in slow motion frame by frame in everyone's eyes. Then, these frames shattered everyone's worldview.
When Ren Xiaosu saw Luo Lan, he waved in surprise. It was as though they were old friends who had reunited on a street corner and were going to have a mutton stew together later.
Zhou Qi was convinced. He was really convinced.
It was already shocking enough that there were people alive amid the violent creeper vines. But they were actually holding hands? What the hell? Were they here to go shopping?!
This was way too strange!
