Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot Chapter 1057 - 1057 423 Worsening Poisoning2

Chapter 1057: Chapter 423 Worsening Poisoning_2 Chapter 1057: Chapter 423 Worsening Poisoning_2 Since Wang Tao already knew their identities, he would just contact them directly later.

After these people had left, Wang Tao looked towards the last ones, Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen.

It was unclear how much they had drunk, but the old lady had already woken up and left, while they were still lost in their own world.

Zhu Fen had ntioned before that one shouldn’t drink too much of the dicine at once. If they drank too much, it might worsen their condition.

“If it really worsens, it’s your own bad luck.”

Wang Tao had no way to wake them up, mainly because they were just ordinary people who were too fragile. If he wasn’t careful, he might end up killing them.

So Wang Tao continued to wait with Jiang Shixue, and not long after, Jiang Hui ca over again.

“Oh? Mr. Wang, those people…”

Jiang Hui, seeing only the knocked-out thugs left, cautiously looked at Wang Tao.

“I let them go.”

Wang Tao didn’t hide the fact.

“That’s great!”

Jiang Hui, hearing this, actually breathed a sigh of relief.

On the way here, he had been wondering how to deal with those people. He didn’t know their identities, but considering the mayors, ministers, and even committee mbers involved, there might have been so high-status individuals among them. eting under these circumstances would have been really awkward…

Letting them go was indeed a good solution, especially since the City Hall couldn’t handle any disturbances now.

So Jiang Hui didn’t ask further; he summoned people to carry the thugs inside, and then under Wang Tao’s direction, they loaded the “Holy dicine” into the vehicle.

“This so-called Holy dicine—I’ll give you so to take back and report, but I’ll keep the rest. I want to study and find out exactly what this stuff is.”

Wang Tao said, pointing to several barrels of the Holy dicine.

“…Okay!”

Jiang Hui obviously wanted to take all the Holy dicine, as it could be very harmful if it entered into society. But since Wang Tao wanted so, he definitely could not refuse.

After a while, the vehicle finally arrived at the police station.

By then, Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen had awakened from their own world, and upon seeing the poisoning status on their heads, Wang Tao imdiately frowned.

Initially, Qiu Rong’s poisoning condition was “An Ordinary Toxin with addictive properties, prolonged use may lead to death. Detoxification possible if not ingested within 7 days.”

But now it had changed to “An Ordinary Toxin with addictive properties, prolonged use may lead to death and increased certain desires. Detoxification possible if not ingested within 15 days.”

Not only had an “increased desires” negative status appeared, but it had also changed from 7 days to 15 days.

Xia Zhen’s poisoning status had changed as well. Before, it was “An Ordinary Toxin with addictive properties, prolonged use may lead to increased certain desires. Detoxification possible if not ingested within 30 days.”

But now it had beco “An Ordinary Toxin with addictive properties, prolonged use may lead to increased certain desires. Detoxification possible if not ingested within 60 days.”

Her condition had not added the “may lead to death” negative status, but it changed from 30 days to 60 days!

No wonder Zhu Fen said not to drink too much of this dicine; this must be the punishnt for overconsumption.

Wang Tao was utterly speechless about this. Qiu Rong had been just a few days away from detoxing, and now, it had restarted and beco even more difficult.

As for Xia Zhen, her period had been directly extended to 60 days, a bit unreasonable. Although this poison wouldn’t result in death, Wang Tao doubted she could endure it on her own…

Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen looked at Wang Tao with great trepidation. Wang Tao had clearly told them not to drink the dicine, or the consequences would be severe. But after Wang Tao left, they couldn’t restrain themselves; they didn’t care too much and just couldn’t control themselves when an opportunity arose… Now, seeing Wang Tao again and feeling his icy presence, they both shivered a bit.

“What was the situation at that ti?”

Wang Tao asked directly.

The two won did not dare to hide anything and quickly explained.

Shortly after Wang Tao left, the old lady woke up. Before she could understand the situation, Qiu Rong hurriedly called her over to untie herself. The old lady was still bewildered but ca over to help anyway.

After Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen were untied, Qiu Rong imdiately grabbed a big bowl and drank the Holy dicine. Xia Zhen had originally been able to resist, especially since she had already vented before, but seeing so much Holy dicine there and with Qiu Rong drinking so cheerfully, she just couldn’t hold back and also drank a big bowl.

After that, they couldn’t rember how many bowls they had drunk; it was quite a few, and they were drinking mixes of ordinary and high-level dicines….

Wang Tao figured that the reason their poisoning status had beco so outrageous was probably related to their mixing and drinking a large amount of dicine.

“You two are finished.”

Wang Tao spoke bluntly.

“…”

Upon hearing this, the two won shivered.

Qiu Rong had already been sowhat afraid of Wang Tao, and now she was even more frightened after being deceived by Wang Tao posing as a deacon. Xia Zhen was similarly scared because she knew she was dealing with a Fourth-order Awakener!

The situation had beco clear now; the Dusk Church had been designated as a cult, and their actions were considered illegal. When Wang Tao said they were finished, did that not imply they were dood to die…

So, the two won imdiately knelt before Wang Tao and begged for rcy.

They had clearly misunderstood, and Wang Tao hadn’t intended to scare them but explained:

“I’ll tell you again, you drank poison—no matter what you think, this is poison. And because you drank too much, the poisoning has worsened, so if you want to detoxify, it will cost you much more than before. When I said you were finished, I didn’t an you were dead, but… what cos next might make you wish you were.”

“…”

The two won were even more scared, they still didn’t think what they had drunk was poison, but the phrase “wish you were dead” was loud and clear to them.

Wang Tao didn’t argue with them any further but just casually ntioned:

“Just to remind you, the high ranks of the Dusk Church have all been captured, and all the Holy dicine has been destroyed, so you will never be able to drink Holy dicine again in your life.”

“…”

Qiu Rong and Xia Zhen were dumbfounded.

No more Holy dicine ever? Wasn’t that almost the sa as sentencing them to death?

Watching their expressions of despair, Wang Tao spoke again with a smile:

“However, you don’t need to worry; I will help you.”

This statent instantly reignited a ray of hope in them, which was imdiately extinguished by Wang Tao’s next sentence.

“I will help you detox. The process might be painful, but the outco will definitely be good. No need to thank .”

“…”

Wang Tao ignored the despair of the two won and went upstairs to the police station to fetch Li Xin, then stuffed all three won in his car, and drove to the research institute with a press of the accelerator.

Just as the car stopped, Qu Shilin, clad in a military coat, ca out yawning.

As the car entered the research institute, Qu Shilin gave Wang Tao a glare and said:

“Wang Tao, why are you waking up in the middle of the night!”

“Here—”

Wang Tao pointed to the three won in the car and briefly explained the situation to Qu Shilin.

Upon hearing about Holy dicine and poisoning, Qu Shilin perked up imdiately.

“Okay! Leave it to ! Another research project!”

She was quite interested in the poison, especially since Wang Tao had given her a large amount of Holy dicine for her studies.

Qiu Rong and the other two won felt an inexplicable chill down their spine; they suddenly felt that being near Wang Tao might be safer…

But Wang Tao didn’t give them a chance to resist and directly handed them over to Qu Shilin.

After chatting for a bit more with Qu Shilin, Wang Tao left the research institute with Jiang Shixue. However, Wang Tao didn’t head ho but decided to take advantage of the night to visit Zhu Fen’s place.

She had many properties, none under her na, and all well-concealed. These houses contained many things she left behind, including Crystal Cores, various odd items, items related to the Dusk Church, and most importantly, the complete list of church mbers in the base…

Wang Tao planned to scavenge through them. Since Zhu Fen was already dead, and no one else knew about these items, it would be a waste to let them go unclaid.
