"What’s up, sneezing again?" Lin Yue wiped it with a tissue, suddenly feeling an ominous premonition.
The last ti he sneezed, it led to quite a significant event.
That ti, after coming out from the Ancient Secret Realm Gate, he ended up near Xia Feihong’s Refugee Village. Then inexplicably, a cold wind blew inside that stone coffin, followed by a high fever triggered by a sneeze!
Co to think of it, didn’t he previously send private ssages to two people asking about the fever?
With so many things happening, he ended up completely forgetting about it.
Lin Yue retreated to the living room, reopened the group chat. If he rembered sothing, he needed to act on it imdiately, especially matters like this.
Opening the ssages he hadn’t checked for a long ti, many people were continuously ssaging him. Lin Yue skimd through them and found those two people by searching keywords.
Fortunately, those two were still alive.
"Lin Yue? Wow, being contacted directly by a big shot, huh? Oh, you’re asking about my fever last ti? Great one, you forgot, didn’t we et last ti? You still rember our boss Liu Kai, right?"
Hmm? Is this world really that small?
He opened the ssage from the other person.
"Haha, a minor cold is nothing. If you want my information, a bottle of wine, not too much, right?"
Goodness, treating it as a transaction.
But if there was only this one person, maybe he would just give it, after all, information is the most valuable right now.
He imdiately contacted the first person called "Guo Le" and sent over a new question.
"Did your fever happen at night?"
However, after waiting a while, the person still didn’t reply.
Lin Yue quickly shot a ssage to Xia Feihong.
If one person was unresponsive, find another. They were in the sa group anyway.
"Lin Yue? You’re looking for Guo Le? He’s currently on guard duty on the wall, I’ll make him reply to you right away." Xia Feihong imdiately responded to him, Lin Yue always felt like this guy was just constantly watching the system panel, ready whenever he reached out.
"I’m here, Lin Yue. Oh, you an the cold last ti? When I caught cold last ti, wasn’t it the day you left our Refugee Village? It wasn’t just ; many of us had a fever that day. But strangely, we all recovered within one day. Liu brother instructed those who weren’t sick to quarantine us, more than thirty people, in a shelter. Guess what? We had high fevers from morning, cooled down by noon and afternoon, and were able to walk around by evening, a real oddity indeed."
Lin Yue’s heart skipped a beat.
What? The day I left the Refugee Village last ti? That was the day I had a high fever, wasn’t it?
They got colds too? More than thirty people at once?
Strange, why all on that day?
Did sothing happen on that day?
"Were your initial symptoms sneezing?" He thought he should find a common point, after all, he started having a high fever from there as well.
"Yes, that night, because of your arrival, we dared not sleep. We let Xia Feihong and Guo Lei lead the elderly and children to sleep first. More than thirty of us cramd into the shelter closest to the wall. In the middle of the night, we heard thumps outside, barely holding until morning. Leaving Xia Feihong with the elderly and children, a group of us went to see how you were. Then we discovered you shot an arrow at us, realizing you were warning us about the giant creature’s arrival, hence we rushed back to the shelter."
Giant creature...
Giant creature!
Another common point between that night and the current situation!
But did the giant creature co here?
"What happened to that giant creature afterwards?"
"Afterwards, the giant creature just lingered for a bit, seed to head in the direction of that small forest, didn’t attack our Refugee Village. But after receiving your warning, we hurried back to the Refugee Village, then everyone got a fever, but recovered quickly."
The giant creature lingered a bit, headed towards the small forest?
Small forest, wasn’t it the place he stayed at the ti? Why did the giant creature linger there?
New questions arose one after another, but one thing was certain, after the giant creature appeared, both he and the thirty-plus people who once left the Refugee Village got fevers, and the fever ca fast and went fast.
Is the fever related to the giant creature?
Seems about right...
"Achoo!" Lin Yue sneezed again, and along with it ca a feeling as if part of his strength was being sapped.
Imdiately, he noticed his body temperature seed to rise, and sweat began to pour down his forehead and limbs even though he hadn’t exerted himself.
A fever? Here we go again!
He quickly took out a dium-sized ergency dical kit. Sweat dripped onto it from his forehead, and without bothering to wipe, he grabbed a fast-acting fever reducer from it and popped it into his mouth.
A bottle of mineral water gulped down, Lin Yue was drenched in sweat, but he realized the dicine worked faster than expected, and his body temperature stopped rising.
Within just a few minutes, he felt as though half his strength was drained!
What on earth is this, a fever unique to the Otherworld?
For now, it doesn’t pose a life threat, nor does it bring symptoms like a runny nose or sore throat, but it almost renders him completely helpless!
Lin Yue struggled to get up, took out a Snickers, and ate it despite its overwhelming sweetness.
Though overly sweet, it does help replenish so of the strength lost due to excessive sweating.
"Guuw!" Bai reached out a hand to touch Lin Yue’s forehead, finding it still slightly hot, then sprayed a little ice mist into the air.
Lin Yue felt the surrounding temperature drop slightly and also felt much relieved.
"No matter how you look at it, it’s due to that giant creature, right? If it keeps lingering around here, won’t I keep getting fevers?"
Thinking about it seems off.
"Bai, is the giant creature nearby?"
"Guuw!" Bai nodded, finally the master asked.
Lin Yue nodded.
He knew what to do.
To hunt the giant creature!
Originally, he had this idea before, but due to various tasks, it got postponed.
Now that this thing ca straight to him, it’s just right to find out whether he could defeat it!
Lin Yue took a deep breath.
The weapons at hand and Bai by his side had grown stronger,
Previously, he hypothesized the "random resource" ntioned by the system was guarded by this giant creature. Hence, the giant creature wouldn’t leave its patrol range and would just wander nearby.
Now he guessed, this random resource must have changed location, causing the giant creature to approach his shelter, originally not within its activity range...
It seems, regardless of internal or external causes, the ti has co where he must take down this giant creature!
He took a deep breath, stubbornly equipped himself with the Exoskeleton, then ard himself with the Alloy Explosion-Proof Shield and donned his helt.
Equipped the M19 Pistol, Sniper Rifle, M880 Shotgun, along with the Alloy Crossbow.
Whether he can beat it or not, he must give it a try.
If left unchecked, he wouldn’t know when this bizarre fever would render him incapable.
He checked over various equipnt on his body, suddenly rembering sothing, and took out the Gas Mask obtained from the treasure chest earlier.
With this, at least he can deal with sothing, right?
