Seeing his superior's superior being so respectful to this woman, the doctor didn't dare to be negligent and immediately replied.
"The patient's body is very strange. It seems like he has no immunity at all. Once the virus entered his body, it immediately spread. In my 37 years of practice, this is the first time I've seen a pneumonia that spread so quickly. If not for the relevant tests stating that everything else is normal, I would've suspected that he's a late stage AIDS patient."
Zi remained silent for a while before asking.
"Then.... will his life be in danger?"
The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still replied with certainty.
"He will! Everything we're doing now is to delay the worsening of his illness. Please note, it's only delaying, there's no indication that he's getting better. If this continues, he'll be like a person falling into the abyss. There will always be a time when he breaks through that critical line. But.... the good news is, it seems like he's still some time away from that irreversible critical point. "
Sheyan's entire body was drenched in sweat. He felt like there were dozens of files cutting back and forth in his chest. His violent coughing caused him to vomit. Following that, the nightmare imprint transmitted a notification.
[A-Virus detected Pneumococcus entering the host's body.]
[A-Virus has entered engulfment, replication and modification mode activated.]
[Because the A-virus attempts to devour, replicate, and improve itself, it evolves in accordance with the contestant's digitised body. Therefore, during this process, the pneumococcus in your body will be strengthened to a certain extent, and the feedback symptoms on your body will also be more severe.]
[A-Virus has injected a catalytic code into the Pneumococcus. It is estimated that within 30 minutes, the host's symptoms will reach its peak. This period of time is the most critical period, and also the period when the host's life is the greatest. This period of time will last for 800 minutes....]
[Data disorder, data error, recalculating.]
[Your innate ability 'Stronghold' is in effect. All abnormal conditions on your body will be weakened by 25%.]
[The peak of your symptoms will last for 600 minutes. During this period, your life may be in danger, so please prepare all kinds of emergency measures!]
"...."
In the following 600 minutes, Sheyan didn't utter a single sound. He displayed an astonishing willpower, but because he clenched his fists too tightly, he tore seven sheets and blankets. Zi didn't rest either. Instead, she silently accompanied him by his side.
During this period, Mogensha and Reef had both returned to the real world and called Sheyan. When they heard that Zi was the one who answered the call, even the honest Reef couldn't help revealing a wretched expression on his face... Sheyan actually gritted his teeth and answered the call under such circumstances. Such strong willpower was definitely not innate, but had been tempered by the incomparably arduous experiences in the nightmare realm!
Finally, Sheyan's torture came to an end. Once the replication of the A-virus was completed, its powerful digitised body instantly swept away all the viruses that wished to wreak havoc. Sheyan sat up from the sickbed and exhaled a long breath. His entire body felt incomparably relaxed!
"The A-virus has successfully replicated!"
[You have successfully activated the Tier 3 Branch Ability: Common Pneumonia!]
"Rank 3 Disease Branch: Common Pneumonia lvl 2 (Twilight Elf's Illumination + 1)."
"This ability can only be used on enemies who already have bronchitis. Ability that affects the same tier: Influenza. "
"When an enemy who already has bronchitis is affected by pneumonia, the duration of the outbreak is 40 seconds."
"Effect: Greatly amplifies various symptoms."
"Sneeze effect evolved into: Intermittent chest pain. Enemy will have a certain chance of experiencing acute chest pain for 3 seconds. During this period, movement speed will be reduced by 80% and unable to attack. Enemy will also receive 50 points of damage within 3 seconds."
"Chill effect evolved into: High fever. Enemy will continue to have a high fever. MP consumption will be doubled when using any ability."
"Headache effect evolved into: Hallucination. Enemy will have a certain chance of hallucinating. Enemy will definitely miss their next attack."
"Violent coughing strengthened: During this period, enemy will be unable to move, attack or cast spells. Duration: 3 seconds (increased from 2 seconds). Every time 'Violent Coughing' flares up, enemy will receive 50 points of damage within 3 seconds. (Originally 150 points of damage within 15 seconds after 3 'Violent Coughing').
"Violent Coughing" new effect: When enemy coughs violently, there is a certain chance of coughing up phlegm. Phlegm that carries a peculiar smell and large amounts of viruses will instantly deal 100 points of damage to surrounding enemies. Enemy's evasion rate will be reduced by 3%. “
"This branch ability can coexist with certain virus-like branch abilities."
"Please quickly invest achievement points to strengthen this branch ability in order to unlock a higher level of the innate skill tree!"
Sheyan was currently accumulating achievement points in preparation for his promotion to Lieutenant Colonel, so he was quite satisfied with the 'Pneumonia' branch ability. He did not spend any achievement points to upgrade it. He could almost predict that the next level of the innate skill tree would be the ultimate ability: 'Atypical Pneumonia'! Once 'Atypical Pneumonia' appeared, the previous ability would inevitably undergo an earth-shaking change. To be honest, Sheyan was looking forward to this ability even more.
At this moment, the doctors were all staring at Sheyan with their mouths agape. Five minutes ago, he was still struggling on the bed, but now, he nimbly jumped off the bed and changed into his own clothes.
The closest nurse stopped Sheyan in a professional manner. She stuttered in fright, "What's wrong with you?!"
"Sir, for your health …."
Sheyan politely but resolutely moved her hand away. He smiled and said, "Don't worry.
"I'm fine, thank you."
The nurse could only look at the attending doctor with a pleading gaze. Sheyan seemed to know what they were thinking, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry.
He smiled and said, "I'll never become a test subject, so don't even think about it. Zi, I need you to take me out for a good meal, then we can sit down and discuss the board meeting next Monday. "
Zi, who had her arms crossed in front of her chest, hesitated for a moment.
"The board meeting …. Do you have any good ideas?"
Sheyan picked up a packet of biscuits next to him and munched on them while walking out with her. It was not until they got into the car and started the engine that he said, "I don't believe you.
"I don't believe that you don't know about that method. It's just that you don't intend to do it."
Zi glanced at Sheyan but did not say anything.
Sheyan tried to persuade her.
"I know you're hesitating, but can you really give up a life of idleness after you've gotten used to being in power?"
These words instantly entered Zi's heart. She abruptly raised her head and glared at Sheyan.
"What do you mean?"
Sheyan smiled and swallowed the last biscuit.
"I really don't like people robbing my car and forcing me to take a taxi. What's the name of that bald director? I suggest we pay him a visit first. "
"Sir Barragan." Zi calmly said, "He's not an easy guy to deal with. More importantly, he's very careful. I can even sense that there are people like us among his bodyguards."
"I need his address. Oh, do you think it's necessary to transfer Mogensha here?" Sheyan then smiled at Zi and continued, "Actually, I feel that as long as you're by my side, we can conquer the whole world. Just like when we dealt with Skull Party and Glory Party."
Zi could sense an indescribable emotion in his tone. Her face blushed and she turned her head away without replying. After a while, she slowly spoke.
"Eat your fill first."
Sheyan was swift and decisive. After eating his fill, he called Reef over. Reef's castle was only two hours away from London by train. During the call, Reef couldn't help lowering his voice and reminding Sheyan.
"Boss, do you like Melody more or Zi more? Sometimes, you have to make a choice. "
Sheyan had obviously considered this matter for a long time. He bluntly said, "I won't let either of them go.
"I won't let go of either of them. At most, I'll get dual citizenship and join the UAE. The law there allows me to have four wives."
Reef, ".... Will they be happy then?"
Sheyan disdainfully replied.
"How do you know they won't be happy? In ancient China, there was a system of wives and concubines. Society didn't collapse. Women were so miserable that one couldn't bear to look at them. It still existed for five thousand years. However, after monogamy was implemented, many women still chose to be mistresses. That's the path of concubines."
Reef was stunned. He then shook his head and sighed.
*****
Monday's E.S. financial group board meeting couldn't be held as scheduled.
Because two very important directors were absent. Their absence was likely to be permanent.
Sir Balagan, who held 11.7% of the shares, contracted severe pneumonia and was now admitted to the Royal Elizabeth Hospital. According to the doctor's most optimistic estimate, he could survive this winter. Of course, the most pessimistic estimate wasn't asked on the surface, but it had already spread around.
Mr. Leo, who held 8.3% of the shares, met with a serious car accident. It seemed that he would have to stay in the intensive care unit for a long time.
Without the two core members of the opposition, even if the board meeting was held, the remaining people wouldn't be Zi's match. So, what was the point of holding the meeting? (To be continued.
