Lord of End of World Chapter 141

There was silence in the conference room. Apart from the sound of flipping pages, there was only heavy breathing. Everyone couldn't hold in their excitement, including the calm and restrained Father Gong and Grandfather Lin.

"Xiaoyu, have all three kinds of drugs been developed?" After calming his heart, Father Gong looked at Jin Shangyu and slowly asked this question.

"At present, the anti-zombie poison and blue drugs have been developed while only the fasting drug is still being studied. Please give me more time, I believe that the problem of food shortage will soon be resolved in a satisfactory way."

Although the Bugu Dan's medicinal materials were still missing, Jin Shangyu soon found subst.i.tutes, but these subst.i.tutes also had a shelf life. Under the extremely hot weather conditions of the apocalyptic days, many medicinal materials will lose their efficacy quickly. Therefore, she couldn't simply follow the prescription provided by Gong Lixin. She needed to find a subst.i.tute that could be used for a long time. But in the apocalyptic days, highly toxic plants are easy to find, but non-toxic plants with medicinal value were like rare animals. She studied the prescription for half a month and found only six similar medicinal material. However, right now, there's no shortage of food in the base, so she can continue to study it in Ningcheng. With so many mutant plants out there, she will develop this drug sooner or later.

Food was the most important issue for survival. Although Jin Shangyu had not yet made the drug yet, her research has given everyone a glimmer of hope for life that they had been suppressing in their hearts for a long time.

Seeing the overwhelming joy in everyone's eyes, Gong Lixin knew that the strategy of stabilizing the military people's heart had succeeded. After all, the migration was a matter of great interest for everyone. Although everyone chooses to support him, there would inevitably be people who felt uneasy. All he had to do was use this opportunity to make everyone's heart feel united. After Zhao Ying's betrayal, he realized the importance of feelings. If he wants to control the base, the first thing to do was to seize people's hearts.

"With these drugs, we can minimize the danger on the road as we migrate. Everyone can ask Jin Shangyu any questions. She will answer them one by one." Gong Lixin leaned back on the chair and smiled.

"This report says that the antidote is also highly toxic. Is there a specific way of taking it?" A leader of an ability user team hesitantly asked.

"Ordinary people needs to take it in five doses, once every three days. These fives doses will lead varying degrees of nausea and dizziness which they will recover from on their own after about two hours. Those with abilities are divided into two groups. Anyone below third-level mid-grade needs to take three doses, once every three days. Their symptoms are the same as the ordinary people and should disappear after three hours. Those that are third-level mid-grade and higher can consume it in one go. They will have a fever within half and hour after ingestion. Signs of the fever will disappear after three days."

"Of course, we can't rule out that there will be unexpected situations. This risk needs to be borne by each individual." Jin Shangyu finally added before taking out a s.h.i.+ny black pill, the smile on her face was like a temptation of a fallen demon, "This is the finished product. Who's willing to test it out?"

There was silence in the meeting room. Lin Wenbo and Song Haoran looked at each other. Lin Wenbo smiled and waved his hand, giving the opportunity to support the teenager to his friend. Song Haoran nodded and was about to reach for the drug, but he didn't think he would be beaten by Dou Heng who had been pretending to be statue this whole time.

Dou Heng's long arms stretched out and he took the pill in Jin Shangyu's hand as soon as her voice fell. He swallowed it in one gulp with his head held up high. His purple eyes were calm and undisturbed, as if he wasn't eating poison disguised as sugar.

Aiya~ Another loyal dog! Jin Shangyu's forehead twitched. She looked at Dou Heng who didn't change his expression with admiration. The crowd also looked at Dou Heng with antic.i.p.ating eyes.

Gong Lixin stood up, walked to Dou Heng, let out a hint of internal force into his palm and leaned over to rub Dou Heng's Dantian. He whispered, "I'll help you catalyze the drug. The body will show signs of fever after its been catalyzed which means that the medicine worked. Three days later, the fever will subside on its own, so don't worry."

The white cheeks of the teenager were almost touching Dou Heng's bronze cheek. The other's breath from his whispered words. .h.i.t Dou Heng's nose and he smelled the fragrant scent of herbs. The youth's little hand slipped down to his abdomen slowly. The sensory stimulation almost burned Dou Heng to ashes.

Before even feeling the effect of the medicine, Dou Heng's body was already sweating a lot. His grim face was even more tense as he tried his best to control the reaction of his lower body, so as not to show an ugly sight in front of the teenager. Just as he thought was about to explode, the teenager finally took his hand back and sat back down.

Dou Heng gasped unnoticeably, his forehead was covered with fine sweat droplets and his bronze skin was slightly reddish; overall, he looked very embarra.s.sed. If it was in any other circ.u.mstance, his flushed appearance would surely arouse suspicion, but now, everyone thinks that he was affected by the drug and did not think about other possibilities.

Unexpectedly, the young man would do something like that. Resisting the urge to separate the two in close contact, Lin Wenbo looked at Song Haoran coldly, blaming him for being too slow. Song Haoran's face was dark, but Dou Heng's expression was still cold and his eyes were lowered. The other didn't look at the teenager any more, nor appeared flushed which slowly calmed down his sour heart.

"How do you feel?" Gong Lixin asked while smiling at Dou Heng.

"Hot." Dou Heng lowered his eyes, crossed his legs and replied with one word.

"Do you mind letting Xiaohui scratch you?" Gong Lixin blinked and asked seriously.

Dou Heng nodded without hesitation. Gong Lixin smiled happily, patted Jin Shanghui's shoulder and pointed at Dou Heng with a 'make an attack' gesture. Jin Shanghui's gentle eyes like that of a innocent lamb, immediately turned fierce. He stood up and faced Dou Heng with his claws.

Dou Heng raised his hand to defend himself and his elbow was scratched. Blood slowly oozed out of the wound. It started out bright red, but after a minute, it turned into a darker red. After a while, it turned black, just like zombie blood, exactly as if someone was infected with zombie poison.

Everyone in the conference room showed a fl.u.s.tered expression and whispered, "No, he's infected!"

Gong Lixin calmed Jin Shanghui down before raising his hand to signal to everyone to quiet down. He cut his palm and, under the eyes of the crowd, black blood oozed out, shocking the others. The young man slowly and indifferently said, "I've taken this medicine a while ago and it's proven that this medicine is safe, so you can rest a.s.sured. The blood becoming black is not a sign of zombie infection, it's because of the high toxicity of the drug. Dou Heng can stay here. We can wait and see if he becomes a zombie after three days."

"Young Master Gong, how can you put yourself at risk?" An ability user said with a chocked voice filled with fear.

"I'm the leader of this base, so I'm responsible for all our lives. What's more, this drug is not dangerous." Gong Lixin said flatly. He looked at his father Gong Yuanhang, with his big, clear eyes as if asking: Did I do well?

Father Gong nodded undetectably, slightly lowering his eyesight to conceal the trace of tears in his eyes. This was his, Gong Yuanhang's, son! This was the pride of his life!

Seeing everyone's complex expression that stared at him without saying a word, Gong Lixin frowned before he continued, "Is that fine? If there's no problem, after the end of the meeting, each person present will get some pills to bring back and explain to those under their jurisdiction. After explaining, three days later, arrange them to come to the infirmary to receive the drug. Of course, if anyone's afraid and doesn't want to take it, they will not be forced too."

Everyone put away their complex expression and agreed in unison. Young Master Gong took the drug, what are they afraid of? Moreover, taking this drug will make them become more poisonous than zombies. In the future, which zombies would dare to eat their meat and drink their blood? Not their poisonous blood! Thinking of that, everyone had hope appearing in the eyes.

Jin Shangyu's goal for the day hadn't been fully achieved yet. Seeing Gong Lixin had the intention to end the meeting, she quickly said, "Wait. The blue potion can also be taken normally. After taking it, the person will have the combat power of a first-level zombie and this will last for four hours. Don't you want to try testing it on some Self Defense Force members? You know, with this blue potions, all our base's personnel can now partic.i.p.ate in battle."

With this, the total of more than 4000 people in the base could be considered as fighting strength and could thus fully compete with Song family’s base. Father Gong's eyes flickered for a moment. He spoke up cautiously, "Is there any side effect after taking the blue potion?"

"After the effect has worn off, there will be a period of weakness of half and hour, but aside from that, there's no adverse effect. Bao Long and Zhao Ying have tested it many times." Jin Shangyu said firmly. Bao Long and Zhao Ying had been cruelly and repeatedly tested by her. There were many poisons that needed to be tested on a person, so Jin Shangyu was reluctant to kill the two of them.

"Go to the training ground to find some members of the Self-Defense Force. Make it clear to them that you are not willing to force them if they don't want to." Father Gong said to Song Haoran.

Song Haoran pressed down his restless heart and quickly ran to the training ground. When he brought the three members over, the people in the meeting were already waiting for on the lawn downstairs.

The three members of the Self Defense Force were messy and sweaty and looked like they felt very uncomfortable. Don't get them wrong, they weren't forced to come, but rather, they were able to grab this opportunity only after a fierce compet.i.tion. To be able to gain the ability of a first-level ability user after drinking the potion; although first-level ability user's strength is still very low, for them, the ordinary people, it was something that they could only dream of.

With shaking hands, they took the blue potion from Jin Shangyu, drinking it without hesitation. A minute later, the three originally thin bodies suddenly changed. Their muscles swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye and they clothes tore with a hissing sound. Their foreheads bulged with blue veins as they fought against the severe pain racking their body. Five minutes later, their twisted expressions returned to that of calm and the three burly giants stood in front of the crowd who were all wearing dumbfounded expressions.

"Try to break this." Lin Wenbo put away the surprise in his eyes and threw a dagger their way.

One of them quickly caught the dagger and broke it into two, then into four pieces. As for the other two, one of them raised his foot and kicked the flower bed beside him while the other punched the tree trunk beside him. The bricks around the flower bed broke and scattered all over and a large hole formed in the middle of the big tree before it broke off, its leaves scattering as it felt. The three spontaneously started fighting against each other. They punched and moved as if they were tigers pushed by the wind, not at all affected by the change in their receptor. No, it should be that their agility was more than ten times faster than their original self.

There was silence on the field. After a long bout of silence, Gong Yuanhang and Lin Mao applauded. Others joined in and the applause resounded all the way to the sky.

Gong Xinagyi stared blankly at everything in front of her. She realized once again that this life had completely surpa.s.sed her past life and she no longer had it under her control. This blue potion was also known as an ability user's restorative potion. The Little Demon from her past life had also created it, but it was only used as supplements to restore one's mental power, the effect far less magical than what she just saw. This kind of medicine shouldn't be available for another two and a half year. It was not like what she just saw. It was indeed created by the Little Demon in bulk, but it was hard to get. It took thousands of jin of grain to buy a single bottle.

There was a force that changed all the established destinies. Realizing this, Gong Xiangyi felt a little uneasy and also secretly happy. She moved towards the Little Demon and whispered, "Little Demon, how were these drugs recreated? You're a genius!"

Jin Shangyu waved her hand and wanted to say that all credit belonged to Gong Lixin, but when she thought how the teenager asked her to keep it a secret, she blinked and changed her tune. "Ah, I always had some of these ideas. It's only after I met Gong Lixin that these ideas came to fruition. Probably, in this world, only Gong Lixin could crush zombie crystal nuclei, squeeze the juice out of king kong vines and go to remote places to find highly toxic plants. Therefore, the success for most of these agents is thanks to Gong Lixin."

Suddenly, Gong Xiangyi looked at the young man who changed her destiny and the destiny of the whole world, her face showing a smile of relief. She finally knew that her rebirth was not for her to become stronger, nor for her to change her destiny, but to cherish the beauty around her. Wasn't this all thanks to Gong Lixin? He did his best to protect the family and friends around him, so he got everything in the end.
