Li Changhe and the trio quickly regrouped and returned to defend the furniture store.
They also had to ensure that the Plague Horror wouldn’t escape in this direction.
During this ti, Li Changhe realized that the state of his three teammates was even worse than he had anticipated.
Without oxygen capsules, they couldn’t even move freely. Their lungs were severely damaged.
This area north of the city was closest to the Plague Horror, and was therefore the most affected.
Many ordinary people in the affected Safe Zones had not been infected, but here, even the gars were not spared. Of course, except for players who focused on Physique.
That’s why it pays to invest in Physique. Seeing them cough up blood from ti to ti, Li Changhe was extrely relieved that he was a Physique-oriented player.
"You guys should head back first, getting treatnt sooner is safer," Li Changhe said as he watched one of the players clutching their chest, he didn’t need to say, "Leave the rest to . I’m worried you’ll cough out your lungs."
"It’s not that serious... cough, cough, cough," a player said while coughing up blood, "If we retreat now, all our previous efforts would be wasted. We can’t leave before the Plague Horror is killed."
"That’s right, General Li Ba, even if your strength is formidable... after the recent battle, your consumption of energy must not be small," the official player said. "As for us... although we can’t fight at our peak, we can still be of so use."
Seeing their determination, Li Changhe didn’t say much more. He really couldn’t help them in this aspect. He didn’t have dical knowledge like Moon God and Bai.
Now, Bai and Mr. Bai were already acting as dics in those Safe Zones; there, they might be able to get so help.
Right now...
Li Changhe thought for a mont and then pulled out a Golden Apple from his backpack, handing it over, "This should alleviate so of your suffering."
This was an item he obtained from the Dream Cruise Task settlent, an inferior Golden Apple, capable of randomly removing a curse or disease.
The [forum] said that except for so particularly troubleso diseases, this sort of Golden Apple could cure them.
It was considered a rare Spirit Fruit. As for real Golden Apples, the players hadn’t seen them yet...
"A Golden Apple?" The player coughing up blood brightened up, then took out a machete to divide the apple into three parts with great skill. Using a machete nearly a ter long to cut the apple was a bit comical, though.
The three didn’t use the apple imdiately after receiving their share, but instead stored it in their backpacks.
After all, they were still within the range of the Plague Horror’s power, and even if they were lucky enough to be cured of the infectious disease, they would be imdiately re-infected.
"I owe you one, General Li Ba. I am a mber of the player organization Lory. If there’s ever a place you can reach out to..."
"Hmm... I’ve noted it," Li Changhe collected the seeds of the Golden Apple, thinking he would let Bai try to grow them when he got back.
Now, the area had quieted down a lot. Many Demons had been killed earlier, and even high-risk Demons like the Faceless Man had died one after another, so the remaining Demons dared not approach carelessly. That gave the four of them ti to recuperate.
Li Changhe slowly restored his energy while planning to check the battle situations in the other regions on the [forum].
Then, he noticed activity in the [Social] module.
First ca updates from friends, He Feng and Xiang Wu, who were chasing after the Insect Queen in the depths underground, saying they should be able to end the battle within three days.
Next were Bai and Mr. Bai. They were in a Safe Zone and currently safe from danger, just needing to be careful not to get infected by the plague.
They both originally went on at length with various precautions, telling Li Changhe to be careful here and there. But then, suddenly rembering that Li Changhe was a Physique-oriented player, they sumd it up in one sentence.
’Nevermind, you can be reckless. As long as you don’t literally swallow the Plague Horror, you’re unlikely to get infected.’
Last was contact from the young girl, telling him not to overexert himself and the like.
Li Changhe smiled to himself and replied to them one by one, sending back a ssage of reassurance.
Afterward, he turned to another template within [Social], the [Guild].
There, a lot of ssages had already appeared. Li Changhe hadn’t paid attention to them earlier while he was assisting on the road.
[Heavenly Principle: If anyone needs help, co to Auspicious District Building 4. Here, you will receive safe protection.]
He had seen this ssage a while back, but at that ti, Li Changhe hadn’t bothered with it.
Following that were so seditious statents, basically implying that one could contact them in case of any danger.
And that they had already gathered a group of civilians.
A lot was said.
But in the end, it got a bit odd. It seed to be from the ti the Plague Horror had just appeared.
They left their hiding spot, probably heading to the northern city, planning to eliminate... no, more likely to utilize the Plague Horror.
Then, there was no response.
A few player Guilds from the Mountain and Sea Alliance made so sarcastic remarks, and Heavenly Principle didn’t respond. It was unclear what mischief the other side was up to.
In reality, the officials indulging Heavenly Principle in the disaster fog for small actions was also ant to increase humanity’s chances of success. Overall, it should be beneficial to humanity, but it was unclear how they planned to act.
As Li Changhe pondered this, several kiloters away from here, another slaughter squad was engaged in a surprisingly joyful struggle against the Demons.
Their condition was equally poor, not only facing encirclent but also gravely ill. The only Physique-oriented player had been injured.
