Chapter 22 Parting without warning
Hiding in the basement to confirm the dawn, the four people, including Xin Sheng, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The condition of rhubarb was fine, but it was a rib fracture. Xin Sheng treated it according to the supporting knowledge of field first aid.
Robert's situation is similar to rhubarb, but there are more injuries and will not hurt his life. He only needs a good rest for a while to recover as before.
Last night's fierce battle used up all ammunition and mechanism traps, and now Robert's mansion is almost completely unprepared.
Xin Sheng, who was injured in his left hand, was unable to draw the bow for the time being. Among the four, only Anna and Ethan were in good condition.
"Robert, whether you want it or not, we must transfer it."
Robert could also see the status quo clearly, and the houses leaking everywhere did not play any protective role.
"Oh~"
With Anna's help, he walked to the anesthetized female night demon bed, and Robert sighed with regret.
"Unfortunately, it's only the last step away. As long as I find a way to inhibit the activity of the virus, I can develop antiviral serum with the right medicine."
“Activated?”
Anna was stunned for a moment when she heard this, and after a little thought, she said uncertainly: "The Night Demon will become very slow in the cold place, will he..."
"Um?"
After receiving Anna's reminder, Robert's eyes were empty and he fell into deep thought.
“Low temperature… worth a try.”
Any virus will have weaknesses, and temperature changes are also one of the possibilities.
Robert has also conducted low and high temperature treatment experiments on the virus before, and has no results.
But that was before the Koh virus mutated and the Night Demon produced wisdom, and it may not be applicable now.
After a simple low temperature experiment, Robert was surprised to find that the activation of the virus dropped significantly.
The antiviral serum he injected into the female Night Demon's body began to work.
The wrinkled skin on the female night demon's body gradually returned to smoothness, and the heartbeat and breathing frequency twice that of humans gradually slowed down, and the heartbeat finally stabilized at around 120.
“It’s really useful!”
Regardless of his physical pain, Robert was surprised to observe the various physical data of the female Night Demon's changes.
These data are quickly moving closer to humans, representing the antiviral serum used in the experiment, which began to transform her from Night Demon back to humans.
‘The existence of the Night Demon is really reversible…’
Xin Sheng was also quite moved when he saw this scene.
Due to the tampering of genes by the Koh virus, Night Demon is very different from humans in terms of physical fitness and living habits.
Robert's drug research continued for more than two years. After receiving a reminder from Xin Sheng, he updated Ye Mo's physical data and reversely modified it based on the information left by Dr. Ke Ping... or formatted the genes rewritten by the virus.
The last difficulty that stuck him was the excessive activity of the Ko's virus, and this level was finally broken because of the experiences that Anna mentioned casually.
It is true that it will take some time to test and optimize a stable and effective antiviral serum, but Robert's research did allow the four people present to see the dawn of hope.
The light of dawn that restores human civilization.
“Ha~”
Robert sat back on the chair with relief, staring blankly at the ceiling of the basement, his constant changing eyes showed his complex mood at this moment.
Leaving from the memories that were unbearable to look back, Robert shook hands with Xin Sheng and Anna one after another.
"Xin, Anna, thank you."
"Thanks to your help, the research on antiviral serum that lasted nearly three years has finally made a major breakthrough."
"Humanity is saved."
While shook hands with Robert, Xin Sheng felt a strange energy entering Robert's body along Robert's hand.
'this……'
Robert himself knew nothing about this, only Xin Sheng could feel this mysterious feeling.
The very warm energy finally stayed in Xin Sheng's chest and nourished his body.
Staying up late and fighting made Xin Sheng very mentally and physically exhausted, but under the nourishment of this energy, he felt that his bad condition was quickly recovering.
At the same time, the long-silent system finally reacted again.
"The energy module was detected and the system was being charged."
"Congratulations to the host for completing the novice trial and starting the evacuation procedure immediately."
Xin Sheng looked up in shock: "What? Wait..."
Before Xin Sheng could refute, he and the injured and bedridden Dahuang were forcibly pulled away by an inexplicable suction force.
Robert, Anna and Ethan widened their eyes at the same time, and even Samantha tilted her head in confusion.
Xin Sheng and Dahuang, who were still chatting and laughing around, suddenly disappeared without any warning. Only the recurve hunting bow and quiver leaning against the corner of the wall can prove that he did exist.
Robert was dumbfounded for a while before he came to his senses: "...Anna, I began to believe the trash you had before."
Anna was also shocked: "god?"
...
At this time, Xin Sheng was passively traveling through a space-time channel with colorful rainbow lights.
The rhubarb made by the system turned into a light spot and merged into his body, temporarily staying in the warm energy called the energy module.
The normal passage of time cannot be felt in the space-time tunnel.
Perhaps it took a few seconds, or perhaps it took a few years, Xin Sheng finally felt down-to-earth again.
"Um~"
After landing, Xin Sheng first raised his hand to hold his forehead, and he was a little dizzy to teleport.
“Where is this?”
What Xin Sheng saw was an extremely desolate scene.
A large number of architectural ruins with invisible styles are scattered around, and you can also see the magnificent starlight and the dark universe in the distance.
This is like an abandoned refuge, or... an outpost that exists independently in the universe?
"Congratulations to the host for successfully passing the world of novices and welcome to the main space."
"Main space?"
Xin Sheng frowned and looked at the irregular energy body hanging on his head.
This translucent energy body is constantly moving itself. With Xin Sheng's dynamic vision, he can only see a very small number of non-transparent modules, and these modules seem to be one world after another.
“…I seem to see the game world of Resident Evil?”
"correct."
The system gave a positive answer to Xin Sheng’s question: “Zombies, night demons, mutant beasts, and the worlds with only such enemies are unified as novice-level worlds.”
"The host only has one chance to travel to the novice world. After passing the "I Am Legend" world, the access permissions of such worlds will be semi-permanently closed."
Xin Sheng rubbed his temples and asked with some headaches: "I thought you would put me back to the main world after completing the task, why did you bring me to this place?"
System: "Sadly, the host can no longer return to the 'main world' as a living person."
Xin Sheng asked in surprise: "...what does it mean? I'm dead?"
The system did not answer, but only showed the picture of one of the worlds in front of Xin Sheng's eyes through the ever-changing translucent energy body.
Xin Sheng saw her mother who was silently wiping her tears at a glance. She and her expressionless stepfather seemed to be waiting for someone's body to be cremated in the crematorium of the funeral home.
"Ah..."
Chapter completed!
