Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 50: Life-saving medicine, a weapon to kill!

After reuniting with his father, Liu Zimo followed him into the bedroom.

Seeing his uncle Zhao Hongzhang lying on the bed, flushed and groaning, Liu Zimo, based on his medical experience from Liu Siqi, conducted a simple physical examination and found that it was a high fever caused by inflamed tonsils.

Under normal circumstances, such an illness could easily be cured with a few packets of fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs.

However, at the moment, there were clearly no relevant medications stocked at home, which made Zhao Hongzhang's condition worsen, even reaching a life-threatening stage.

"Dad, didn't you go out to find medicine just now? Did you find any?" Liu Zimo asked softly.

Liu Yi sighed and shook his head, wearing a worried expression.

"Ah, what's there to find!"

"All the nearby clinics and pharmacies have long been looted, and the shelves are clean without a single pill!"

"I just walked several streets downstairs, encountered several demonic beasts, but couldn't find a single fever-reducing pill!"

"Your uncle is the same, a single man, and he doesn't usually have the habit of keeping common medications at home. Now, all the pharmacies are empty, and we can't find anything even if we want to!"

Liu Zimo nodded understandingly upon hearing this.

These were all within his expectations.

Now, ten days had passed since the demonic calamity struck. Many survivors who had avoided the first wave of demonic beast attacks would inevitably take risks and come out of the shelters to search for supplies to avoid starving or dying of thirst.

Supermarkets, grocery stores, bakeries, as well as pharmacies, clinics, and hospitals, would undoubtedly be the first places they wanted to visit.

Moreover, in the current city of Luozhou, most of the areas had already been taken over by the local military and police, and the demonic beasts in the city had been mostly eradicated. Most of the living supplies in the city were also under military control.

His father didn't know the situation and foolishly hoped to find the relevant medications in nearby pharmacies and clinics, but the chances were slim.

"Leave the task of finding medicine to me. I will find fever-reducing and anti-inflammatory drugs for Uncle as soon as possible."

Liu Zimo took on the task of finding medicine for his uncle.

It was also his own oversight that he had stored so many emergency supplies but hadn't thought of stocking some commonly used medications at home.

Of course, this was also related to Liu Zimo's lifestyle over the past thirty years.

After entering the world of martial arts, Liu Zimo's body became as strong as an ox. Apart from injuries, he had never been sick in thirty years, so naturally, he didn't develop the habit of stocking medications.

In fact, it's not just Liu Zimo. In the apocalypse, due to the continuous outbreak of psychic storms, the physical fitness of the human race has been constantly improving under the nourishment of increasingly abundant psychic energy.

After the outbreak of the demonic calamity for a year, even ordinary people who have not stepped into the martial arts have become strong and healthy, rarely experiencing symptoms such as colds and fevers.

Even if they are injured, as long as it's not a broken arm or leg, or injuries to the brain or internal organs, they can recover on their own without taking medicine.

Just like the wounds left on Yang Sisi's body after her battle with the demonic beasts, they healed on their own in just a few hours without medicine or stitches.

Therefore, in the apocalypse, it is rare for the human race to die from illness, with most deaths being caused by injuries sustained in battle.

Liu Zimo didn't expect that his little uncle, who should have had an extremely strong body after experiencing the first psychic baptism, would be so unlucky as to contract tonsillitis.

"Um... Advisor Liu, excuse me!"

"If you only need antipyretics and anti-inflammatory drugs, I might be able to help!"

Hearing the conversation between the father and son, Yang Sisi, who had been sitting in the living room resting while holding Xiaofeihong's hand, suddenly spoke up.

"Before leaving Shangjing City, I happened to pick up some anti-inflammatory and antipyretic drugs from a pharmacy next to the supermarket. They're in my bag!"

Saying that, Yang Sisi opened the mountaineering bag she had been carrying on her back and took out more than a dozen boxes of different types of Chinese and Western medicine.

Among them, there were mostly medicines for children, such as antipyretics and cough suppressants.

Obviously, these were all prepared by Yang Sisi for Xiaofeihong.

After all, she was a girl, more meticulous in her thoughts and more considerate in her preparations.

Knowing that it would be very troublesome if a child fell ill, before leaving Shangjing City, when preparing for the journey with Liu Zimo, Yang Sisi specifically went to a pharmacy and prepared a lot of relevant medicines in advance, just in case.

But she didn't expect that Xiaofeihong's cultivation would progress rapidly all the way, and her health would be so good that she never had a chance to get sick.

So all the medicines prepared by Yang Sisi naturally became decorations, and they had been lying idle at the bottom of the bag for a long time. Yang Sisi had almost forgotten about their existence.

If she hadn't just heard Advisor Liu's family worrying about medicine, Yang Sisi might not have remembered them until now.

"Oh! Good girl, you've really helped a lot. On behalf of my whole family, thank you!"

"Thank you!"

"If my old uncle can survive this time, you will be our great benefactor!"

As soon as he heard about the medicine, Liu Yi immediately rushed out from inside. Seeing the pile of medicines on the table, his eyes turned red with excitement, and he grabbed Yang Sisi's hand to express his gratitude.

"Uncle, you don't have to be so polite. My life was saved by Consultant Liu. These few boxes of medicine are nothing..." Yang Sisi said somewhat embarrassedly.

At this moment, Liu Zimo also walked out from inside and looked at the medicine on the table, giving Yang Sisi a grateful glance.

"Let's not mention the past. We're all in the same boat now."

"These medicines may not have meant much before the disaster, but now they are precious lifesavers."

"I will remember this favor!"

After saying that, Liu Zimo glanced silently at the father who was still holding the girl's hands and refused to let go, and reminded him softly, "Dad, since we have the medicine now, quickly take it in and feed it to your nephew. Otherwise, if he continues to have a fever, his brain might really get damaged, and it will be irreversible!"

Liu Yipi didn't move his butt and looked at his eldest son with a disdainful look.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Can't you hope for your uncle's recovery?"

"And, you're already an adult, can't you have some awareness? Can't you see that I'm talking to the girl? Can't you move your legs and take the medicine to your uncle yourself?"

After saying that, he casually threw a box of anti-inflammatory and antipyretic medicine on the table to Liu Zimo, and then continued to smile and ask Yang Sisi softly, "I was in a hurry when I came back just now and didn't have time to ask. What should I call you, Miss? What is your relationship with my son?"

"Oh, and this little girl, so cute and well-behaved. Tell Uncle, what's your name? Where are your parents?"

With the life-saving medicine in hand and no worries or burdens in his heart, Liu Yipi returned to his talkative nature and enthusiastically chatted with Yang Sisi and Ye Feihong as if they were old friends.

During this time, he even gossiped with Yang Sisi, asking if she was dating Liu Zimo or something, portraying the image of a concerned father worrying about his son's lifelong matters.

Liu Zimo was extremely speechless about this, and his father started to talk nonsense again.

To prevent his father from saying anything inappropriate, Liu Zimo handed the medicine to Liu Zihao and made an excuse that he had urgent matters to attend to. He grabbed Yang Sisi and jumped out of the window.

As for Ye Feihong, she followed Liu Zimo's instructions and stayed at home to rest while also protecting the safety of his father and the other two.

The little girl was now a solid Iron Bone Realm martial artist, more than capable of being a bodyguard or anything else!

At this moment, at the Military Affairs Office in Luozhou City, Director Liang Luohua and Deputy Participant Zhou Yiren were standing with binoculars, looking at a commercial building in the center of the city from their temporary camp.

On the outer wall of the building, a piece of white silk about thirty meters long is fluttering in the wind.

The white silk is covered with large red characters, and at both ends, there are fresh corpses dressed in Daoist robes.

"Tsk tsk, I thought it was just a rumor when I heard the news before. I thought those two from Mount Longhu, who are skilled in illusion arts and have extraordinary martial prowess, wouldn't die so easily."

"But now, the facts are right in front of us. We can't help but believe it!"

Zhou Yiren said with some schadenfreude.

"I wonder who dares to kill the disciples of Mount Longhu so ruthlessly?"

"What's even more interesting is that the other party not only killed them but also publicly announced their crimes and hung them in the city center for everyone to see!"

"A clear case of killing to the heart, without leaving any mercy!"

"Liangchu, do you think those crimes written on the white silk are true?"

"Mount Longhu is also a prestigious sect, emphasizing benevolence, generosity, and accumulating public virtues. They shouldn't engage in such despicable behavior, right?"

Liang Luohua shook his head slightly and said, "Knowing someone's appearance doesn't mean knowing their heart. Painting someone's skin is difficult to paint their bones. Even disciples of prestigious sects may have extremely wicked individuals among them."

"Whether this matter is true or false will become clear with a little investigation. Even in the midst of chaos, the life and death of more than two hundred people is not so easy to conceal."

"However, compared to the crimes committed by Jingyong and Xuanqing, I am more curious about who did it."

"To silently eliminate a Iron Bone Realm warrior like this is not something anyone can do!"

"At this critical moment, a mysterious expert with an unknown origin and no distinction between friend and foe suddenly appeared in Luozhou. It's really a headache!"

Zhou Yiren nodded slightly in agreement, and his expression became solemn.

He had personally experienced how strong an Iron Bone Realm warrior could be.

Without heavy firearms, if the other party were to confront their soldiers, they could easily take on hundreds or even thousands of them alone.

This was why the Military Affairs Department had always been so wary and accommodating towards those Iron Bone Realm warriors active in the city.

Now, another even stronger individual, possibly still above the Iron Bone Realm, suddenly appeared in the city. For the Military Affairs Department, it was not good news.

An uncontrollable and unrestrained top expert was definitely an unstable factor for the current city of Luozhou.

No wonder Director Liang was so troubled and eager to find out who the other party was.
