The Demon Swordsman 3
Ch. 117 - 900 Million
Xin Chen entered in a hurry, looking to his left where a man started to put on a standby before finally the man who allowed Xin Chen in gave an explanation. The young man immediately spoke, "I need your help."
Luo Li raised her face, feeling familiar with the voice.
"Ah, you're Second Young Master Xin?"
"You said you knew something about the Red Crystal, didn't you?"
Sensing Xin Chen's panic, Luo Li immediately replied quickly. "I know very little."
"Whatever it is, it must be useful. There must be a way to stop that Red Crystal spreading in mom's body ..."
"You see it, Young Master?" Luo Li was surprised, not expecting this one fact to be known by someone who did not even understand medical science.
"The Red Crystal ... It spreads throughout the pulse, and attacks the head. Breaking something in the bloodstream that makes the heart stop beating. I don't know what's going on inside mom's body, but there's something that's paralyzing her."
The soldiers listening to their conversation could only be confused.
"I didn't think you could see it with ordinary eyes. We need tools. Not even the greatest swordsman will realize this, other than just looking at the basic picture."
Xin Chen looked at him as he silently stared in front of Ren Yuan's body. The Red Crystal did something. It ignited, dimmed and died near the heart of Ren Yuan. As Luo Li said, that thing should not be carelessly removed. He would destroy his host's body if something threatened him. It could be said that the Red Crystal was some kind of living organism, the parasite was spreading something inside Ren Yuan's body.
"Tell me how can I stop the spread?"
"Impossible, Sir." Luo Li shook her head slowly, there was no hope. "When the virus it releases spreads in the body, some vital organs like the heart will stop functioning."
"I'm sure you're still alive."
"Even if he woke up, he would just be an undead."
"What do you mean?"
"Red Crystal is a disease derived from the disease that first appeared," he said. "It's hard to cure. Except ..."
Xin Chen's eyes were wide open. "Except what?" His voice sounded very fast. Luo Li simply kept quiet after that.
"Except what?" xin Chen began to get impatient.
"I still doubt this decision. But seeing as you are so desperate and I myself might need your help, we can discuss this." Luo Li looked awkward, "But it's just the two of us."
"Hey, hey, what's this?" One of the people sitting right in front of Luo Li said unhappily. "You've falsified your entry permit here! How dare you keep a secret in front of us?"
"I do this for the infected people in my place. The only material we needed was fire mold. While the government is reluctant to make a permit so that I can come here."
"Let's you fake it, let alone talk about it!"
"Do you understand my situation? Once, I want to be selfish. My mother's safety is far more important than your interrogation."
They fell silent in an awkward manner, one telling them to come out. Even if Luo Li was dangerous, Xin Chen could handle it easily.
Xin Chen half whispered. "What can I do to save him?"
"It's actually a state secret. I was told to shut up about a drug that one of our scientists had just invented. The only medicine he managed to make before himself turned into an undead. But this medicine is not perfect. He was only able to withstand the spread for approximately three months."
"The story is long." Luo Li seemed not so comfortable. "You could say, I was the one who managed to get this one and only cure. The looters, the military and many more fought over it. I put a high price on this thing. One of the scientists was about to buy it for nine hundred million pieces of gold."
Luo Li still continued, but Xin Chen was already shocked by the price.
Nine hundred million of which should be scraped from where? And does the drug really work? It is never said that a person is cured after using it. It's too risky. But the only option Xin Chen had was this.
"I don't want to sell it to that guy. Because this drug will only be used for the benefit of the military people. If they were able to make a new replica, the drug would not be distributed to the public and only produced for themselves."
Luo Li took out an object. Put it in a box that is not random. Coated high quality iron explosion attack resistant. The security outside her required the key that Luo Li had. Luo Li opened it, revealing the issue within.
A syringe with a gray-blue liquid.
"If I help you, will you help us?"
Luo Li added. "I've heard a lot about you. In our country, if we had someone like you, we wouldn't be so miserable. The ruler of the Wei Empire was concerned only with his people, stocking up on food, clothing, and other sources of materials for themselves. While we survive in the middle of a city full of infected. Nighttime with danger," to be honest.
"Threats and hunger are already a part of us. But at least we need one person, who is willing to stand in front of everyone. And unite the divided camps.".
Much Luo Li wanted to say, Xin Chen looked at her. Really desperate. Luo Li admitted she lied about the license. He was determined to go to the Wei Empire. Penetrate the guard ready to kill him at any time. And was captured by the warriors of the Shang Empire.
For those 900 million gold pieces, Xin Chen started thinking of selling all the jewelry that Ye Long had brought even though the dragon was going berserk. He closed his eyes in a frown.
"I don't mind."
"Thank you, Mister. Your help means a lot."
"For the money, maybe I can just pay half the price now. That okay?"
"No need to pay now, sir. You will pay for it while in the Wei Empire."
"You mean it's free?"
"In the Wei Empire, 900 gold pieces of money can be obtained easily. That thing doesn't mean anything."
Xin Chen accepted Luo Li's gift, thanking her very much.
"Can I see your mother? To see how bad it is. Because the drug is only able to withstand the spread for several months, it is not permanent. Depends on his body's endurance. If he has another illness, maybe you don't have enough time."

Sometimes the keyboard author skips. Typonya makes it weird. Last re-read eps how many nemu typo should be written 'meaning' so maksiat. The awikwok bgt.
Actually it's the author's nulis maxut, but the same keyboard-detect that auto-correct is made into maksiat.😅😂
Sometimes emg keyboard is sinful bgt.
Alert [SPOILER] :From the first author really wanted to make the zombie genre. And the story of the Wei empire full of medical science will refer to it, but the name is not a zombie. The big challenge is writing a chapter ahead. But the mission in the Wei Empire the author tried not to take up much space.
That's why the author says Xin Chen's story won't be written enough in 300chap. There must be a PPI 3 connection.
