Chapter 440 Exposed
No one went to storm the tunnel. In such a narrow space, there are still many infected people left in it. Plus an old ghoul and a little monster of unknown strength. Enter or die. It doesn't make any difference. It's better to stay here and wait and see what happens to the other party, so that you can take advantage of them.
However, a troublesome situation occurred. There was no movement from the other party.
The time has reached nine o'clock in the evening, and the red moon has risen in the sky, but the other party did not respond in any way, as if he was really killed by a bomb.
The most unsettling thing is that the arrow is on the string but not drawn.
It makes me feel at ease when I actually ejaculate.
At this time, Lin Qi was sitting in the city lord's ward, taking a deep breath of the Requiem Grass and slowly exhaling the light blue smoke.
The movements are steady and the expression is as smooth as an ancient well.
However, on the surface, he is as stable as an old dog, but in his heart, he is becoming more and more uneasy, and he always suspects that the other party is holding back some big move.
In fact, the situation is very good now, everything is going according to plan.
The city lord's mood is very stable, probably as stable as his family members.
The medicine has taken effect, at least there is no need to worry about him becoming infected in a short time.
Just when Dr. Swain was worrying about how to get the city to drink the medicine, Miss Diana had already injected the medicine directly into the Lord's blood vessel. This was a cross-generational blow to medical technology, which made Dr. Swain quite disappointed and roundabout. I scolded the pharmacist for a while for taking the wrong path.
You know secrets and you are also a pharmacist. Anyway, you are. Maybe this is the stubbornness of the therapist.
The city lord is sleeping peacefully now, with a strong heartbeat and steady breathing. If nothing happens, he will be able to hold on for several days without any problem.
In order to avoid unforeseen accidents, the fortress was strictly guarded.
Several entrances and exits of the military camp are strictly guarded, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter or leave. There are two official soldiers guarding the ward. Except for a few people with permission, anyone who tries to enter will be killed.
The ward is guarded by several outsiders, ensuring that at least two people stay in the ward at all times, keeping an eye on the city lord's vital signs. If any problem occurs, Dr. Swain will be notified as soon as possible, and everyone will do their best. Protect the life of the city lord with all your strength, that is the only hope.
At the same time, the drug distribution work outside is also continuing intensively.
There is a bit of trouble here, but the difficulty lies not in the distribution work itself, but in the lack of medicine.
Dr. Swain has been working hard. Except for the hour when Lynch left, he has not left the dispensing room. However, the medicine cannot appear out of thin air. The raw materials are barely enough, but from now on Every step from the preparation of medicinal materials to the casting and modulation consumes a lot of time and energy. According to normal standards, it would take four or five days of sleepless nights to prepare the medicines for all the people in the city.
However, Lynch and the two doctors and ladies murmured in low voices for a while, in exchange for the two of them pointing at him and scolding him, but they said no, but their bodies were still honest, and they took action while scolding.
Make water, mix more water.
Originally, one bottle of medicine can not only remove the plague elements absorbed by the body, but also generate temporary resistance for seventy-two hours. Now there are only twenty-four hours left. No, that’s wrong, only twelve hours left. It's an hour, that's not right, it's actually eight hours.
It cannot be shorter, otherwise the treatment effect will be affected.
With this method, the time to complete drug distribution is shortened to tomorrow morning. By the estimated outbreak time of midnight tonight, at most only a small half of the people can take the drug.
In other words, whether a plague will break out among the remaining people who have not taken the medicine, whether the final purification will begin, and whether Lynch and his team can achieve their goals all depends on tonight's gamble. .
Before the box is opened, no one knows whether the unlucky cat is dead or alive. The outcome will be revealed at midnight.
Time passes minute by minute, from the sun setting in the sky to the red moon rising.
Waiting for the result is the most painful ordeal. As time gets closer and closer to the end, the tension not only does not relieve, but becomes more intense. So much so that Lynch had to rely on requiem to calm down.
But he is no longer the weakling he was when he first traveled through time. He has become stronger not only in strength, but also in the fragile mind that originally belonged to ordinary people.
No matter how panicked you feel, you should remain calm on the outside.
It was he who proposed the plan. It was he who gave hope to the drug-dispensing act that was originally done to the best of his ability. It was he who made the four of them see the possibility of reaping the fruits of human face again.
Now he has unknowingly become the leader of everyone, Dr. Swain, Terry, hundreds of soldiers, more than 8,000 people in the city, and even three other ladies. Everyone is looking at him. If he panics first, Everyone was in a panic, and once their morale dissipated, there was no need to fight this battle. No matter how panicked he was, he had to hold on.
It is said that a person with a heart full of wind and thunder but a face like a flat lake can be regarded as a general. Lin Qi finally understood the meaning of this sentence. Perhaps this is the responsibility and responsibility that the superior must have.
Huh, I'm not who I used to be, damn old ghoul, you can't scare me.
But I’m still a little panicked.
Crack.
A hand slapped heavily on the shoulder.
You don’t even have to look, you can tell who it is just by looking at it. Sure enough, when you turn around, you see Officer Natalie with a serious look on her face.
"Don't be nervous, relax. Your spirit is too tense, and it is easy to be contaminated by filth and distorted." Months of getting along have made the two parties too familiar, and Lynch's emotions cannot be concealed from this brave but careful person. A woman, "Think on the bright side."
"Huh? For example?"
"For example..." The police officer tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying, "For example, only when everyone takes the medicine and we get the Human Face Fruit, can it be considered really certain. As a result, you can’t rest assured even at midnight?”
“I feel much sadder when I say thank you.”
Lynch patted the hand on his shoulder. It was a little rough but extraordinarily warm. The temperature soothed his heart. He stretched hard and said, "Is everything normal outside?"
"Yes. , but the progress is slower than expected. It is estimated that the distribution will not be completed tomorrow morning and will be delayed until the afternoon. "
Hey, isn't that the time when the original memory ends? The power of historical trajectory is really powerful. Lin Qi thought to himself and asked: "Why?"
"The ghoul is not a steam engine. She will be tired too. Don't worry. Everything is going well. The night is peaceful and there are no infected people on the street. There shouldn't be much difference between tomorrow morning and afternoon."
< br>"Don't say such things, it's a bit dangerous. If you sleep for a long time, you will inevitably have more nightmares." Lynch sighed, "It's just that it's too calm, which makes me feel uneasy. I hope that variables will appear." .”
“Huh?”
"If the significance of the city lord is as critical as I thought, then he should use all means to make up for it. There is no way that there will be no movement for ten hours. So being so calm, otherwise it means that the city lord has no idea about his plan. So important, we all guessed wrong, otherwise it means...he still has one last resort that he hasn't used yet, and the emergence of variables can eliminate the first possibility, and also allow me to guess his final move..."
Bang.
The door to the ward was pushed open forcefully, and Dr. Swain walked in with a solemn expression, chasing Miss Diana behind him.
"Father's letter is for you. He wants to make a deal with you." Walking to Lin Qi, the female doctor stared into Lin Qi's eyes with a strange expression and said in a deep voice, "He said that he can temporarily stop the plague. The outbreak, until..."
Negotiation? This is an unexpected development.
Theoretically speaking, after distributing medicine to everyone, there is a high probability that the ceremony will be terminated. This should be correct, neighbor.
[Well, this is what it is now. 】
So time is on our side, which is good news, but what’s going on with her expression?
Lin Qi frowned slightly: "Until what?"
"Until you leave your memories and return to your era, kill the city lord so that his plan can continue."
A divorce plan?
Wait, what did you just say?
Lynch raised his head and looked at Dr. Swain in astonishment, feeling a chill running down his spine.
