Chapter 424 The Fourth Day
When Lynch regained consciousness again, the only thing in front of his eyes was haze.
I am still alive. Did I sleep too short, or did I survive the dangerous period successfully?
Subconsciously, he wanted to reach out for his pocket watch, but unexpectedly found that he couldn't move his arm.
Oops, it’s not like he’s really infected.
But he immediately realized that his arm was numb and he lost consciousness.
What's going on?
Squeezing his confused eyes hard, Lin Qi looked down.
……
Well, one on the left and one on the right, the two ladies were sleeping soundly with their arms pillowed on their heads.
No, it doesn’t matter if you get close to each other, but you still sleep like this. Are you crazy? Do you feel that you are not bitten before?
Although he was very touched and enjoyed it, Lin Qi still turned green. If the infected person wakes up, the two girls will go down to keep him company.
He jumped up with a roar, which alarmed the infected in the cells next door. The roar immediately echoed in the dungeon, like a crazy sonata.
The two girls were frightened and woke up on the spot.
Officer Natalie immediately rolled on the ground and distanced herself from the source of the sound. When she stopped, her sword had been unsheathed, but her eyes were still a little dazed.
Ms. Diana rubbed her eyes and sat up, giving Lynch a confused smile.
"Good morning, Mr. Lynch, what happened?"
"What did you shout, you scared me." Officer Natalie finally confirmed that there was no danger and sheathed her sword. , getting out of bed and getting angry, he said viciously, "It's inexplicable, you'd better be really serious."
"You two are the ones. Are you crazy? You dare to sleep next to me like this when you don't know the situation." Lin Qi's arrogance was suppressed. He was about to apologize when he suddenly realized, how can these two fight against each other? " No matter what the reason is, you can’t do this, and you still blame me for shouting.”
The two ladies looked at each other and laughed.
"It seems that you slept very well last night and didn't realize what happened at all, Mr. Lynch."
Looking at the countess's big eyes, Lin Qi was in a daze for a while. He had indeed slept well last night, but he seemed to have been woken up once in the middle of the night. Someone was muttering beside him. It seemed that it was these two girls. His arms seemed to be still there. Got bitten by a mosquito.
Huh? Isn't that a dream?
Lin Qi looked down at his arm. There was still a small red spot on the skin inside his elbow, which looked like a mosquito bite.
A pinhole.
Lynch figured it out immediately and shook his numb arm: "You are injecting me with medicine, right? So Dr. Swain's medicine has been prepared?"
"Yes." Miss Diana smiled and nodded, "It is a test drug. It is confirmed to be harmless, but the effect is not stable. I made a copy at about three o'clock in the morning and decided to try it on you first. It depends on you. I slept well, so I didn’t wake you up and gave you the injection directly.”
"So soon? Didn't you say it will be noon?"
"It's just for testing and needs to continue to stabilize. The real medicine is estimated to be noon." Miss Diana pointed to the haystack next to her. "As for the speed, you have to thank her."
Turning around, he found Judy hugging her body and huddled on the straw bed next to her, sleeping like a child. She didn't know that in that world of flames, the real Is that the same for Judy?
"She actually has the most taboo knowledge among us, and she also knows a lot of knowledge and techniques of the Third Age. She doesn't have to worry about exposing her identity at all." Officer Natalie added, "With her help, Dr. Swain can make such progress. Come on, luckily I brought her here this time.”
That’s why she played herself like this. Lynch sighed and asked: "What time is it now?"
"It should be almost eight o'clock in the morning." Both ladies showed bright smiles, and Officer Natalie patted Lynch hard. Shoulder, "Congratulations, Lynch, the dangerous period is over."
"Uh, so this medicine is indeed effective?" "Then I don't know." The countess spread her hands, "No one knows whether you are really infected, so there is no way to judge the effect of the medicine. But at least you are safe. It's okay, just think it's because of the medicine, after all, you are still normal now."
Huh, it's good to be alive.
Only then did Lin Qi breathe a sigh of relief. No matter how calm he acted before, he still felt uneasy in his heart.
Life after the disaster.
Lin Qi was in a good mood. He saw that the two girls were much prettier, which made him smile evilly.
"That's not possible, maybe I've gone crazy."
As he spoke, he bared his teeth and claws, roared and rushed towards the two girls, but was immediately pressed down by Officer Natalie. On the straw bed, one pressed and the other was pressed smoothly, and the cooperation was perfect. Miss Diana puffed her mouth and didn't know what she was thinking.
It wasn’t until Judy, who was awakened, roared that the three of them were in a state of cruelty to animals, and then the four of them straightened their clothes and returned to the ground.
The guarding soldiers didn't know that someone was on the verge of life and death. They thought these four people had some special hobbies and just liked sleeping in the smelly dungeon. The way they looked at them was wrong.
After asking, I found out that those who were injured last night had all become ill in the early morning, and no one was spared.
These ten people are still alive and are being held deep in the fortress waiting for the medicine to be completed. As for the few smart people who pretended to be injured, they were driven away by the soft-hearted soldiers in the end and failed to seek mercy. Deren made Lin Qi a little regretful.
The four of them went straight to Dr. Swain's temporary research room. As soon as they entered the door, there was a flash of fire in front of them.
This is an open room with a pit in the middle. The firewood inside is burning brightly. A large ceramic pot is placed on the fire. The green liquid inside is bubbling and making waves. Pungent sour smell.
When the four people came in, Dr. Swain was sprinkling a handful of ashes-like debris into the pot. Obviously it was just sprinkled into the liquid, but the flames in the pit suddenly surged, filling the air with No burnt smell.
The female doctor turned a blind eye to the four people who came to visit. She concentrated on walking to a strange rhythm, slowly rotating around the fire and the cauldron, and recited mysterious words in a low voice in an unintelligible language. As she chanted, the strong flames dimmed quickly, and all the flames were concentrated at the bottom of the ceramic cauldron. Then the liquid in the pot rolled more violently, and the strange animal carcasses and plant residues at the bottom of the pot did not rise to the surface. , making the unknown liquid in the pot even more weird.
After turning around for a few times, Dr. Swain suddenly let out a low cry, stopped abruptly, pulled out a dagger and pricked his finger, and wrote four consecutive symbols on the ground around the cauldron with blood.
Every time a symbol is drawn, the boiling of the liquid in the pot becomes a little more intense. However, the moment the fourth symbol is written, the boiling liquid surface directly pisses off all the physicists and becomes calm instantly. There was no wave, the green liquid turned purple in an instant, and was still filled with a faint air-conditioning.
This was not the first time that Lynch saw Dr. Swain at work. He had seen him yesterday, but no matter how many times he saw him, he felt that he was full of flaws.
He has not seen the pharmaceutical process in the Fifth Age of this world, but he has at least visited the pharmacy room of the Church of the Cross. The windows are bright, clean and tidy, and the walls are lined with large medicine cabinets. It contains various weird and normal medicinal materials. In the middle are several test benches, filled with test tubes, crucibles, gas stoves, and alcohol lamps. From a distance, they look like the modern atmosphere of my hometown.
However, when Dr. Swain prepared the medicine, it reminded Lynch of the legendary wizards in his hometown, especially the big-nosed wizard with the stupid cat in the animation full of blue men. Simply similar. However, before he could think of a more rude question, Dr. Swain had stopped temporarily, looked back at him, and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm very happy that you can still walk in normally, although I always feel that your eyes are full of malice."
"Ahem, that's slander." Lin Qi smiled and bowed deeply. Bowed, "Thank you for taking the trouble."
"Your people helped a lot, you don't need to thank me, I..."
Before Dr. Swain finished speaking, the door was pushed open again.
Knight Terry, who had worried everyone all night, walked in with a solemn expression.
The first words spoken made all five people fall into silence.
"I seem to have seen the young master, alive."
