Red Moon Returns

Lynch found himself back where it all began.

It was the small forest where the four of them entered the memories, not far from where they appeared. When the four of them first landed, they might have seen this ancient tree from a distance, but they just didn't realize it at the time. .

Lin Qi looked at the familiar woods and realized that it might make sense for the four of his party to enter memories from here.

A fantasy came to mind. Perhaps in real history, Ms. Stephen Swain invited tribesmen to stop his father's crazy behavior, and purified himself as well. In the end, after the ghoul left the city, he escaped through this tunnel. City, standing on the edge of the woods looking at the city where my daughter died. And this memory may have started from that time and place.

It's a wonderful fantasy that can never be confirmed, but Lynch thinks it's probably true. Fortunately, he made this trip today. Otherwise, even if the four of them come here to visit their heads every day, they wouldn't think that it's not far away. , hiding a place leading to the devil's cave...

? ? ?

Damn it! Human face fruit.

Lin Qi screamed and rushed out, heading straight to the place where the human face fruit was planted.

But don't let anything happen. If you are not far away and are blown up by your own attack, it will be the stupidest joke in the fifth era.

After running fifty or sixty meters, I found the planting site. It was really not that far away. Fortunately, there were sparse trees blocking it. The explosion did not affect these fragile mysterious plants. The heads of the four people were still hanging on. The branches flutter in the wind.

"What nonsense."

Officer Natalie, who was chasing after him, stepped on Lynch's toes very skillfully and crushed him. It was obvious that the fruit had not yet been harvested, so how could he be fluttering in the wind?

However, it is growing very well and should mature smoothly tomorrow. It depends on whether this last flower of hope can bear the fruit of life.

The two took the opportunity to check all five plants, and then they were relieved to find the battlefield.

Lynch made an okay gesture to Diana and Judy who were guarding the doctor. Hearing the footsteps, Dr. Swain also raised his head.

"The injury is too serious and cannot be saved." Dr. Swain lamented regretfully, "Several of his main blood vessels were bitten off. Although you treated him in time, your technique was not professional and you did not treat him properly in advance. Broken blood vessels. Now his brain has fallen into paralysis and he is only one step away from death."

Hiss~~If he dies, the risk I took will be in vain.

Lin Qi's face was a little ugly, but he recalled some measures taken in the hospital in his previous life and asked nervously: "It doesn't matter whether he can be saved or not. Can we guarantee that he will not die? There is no need to keep delaying it, just wait until tomorrow."

"Um?"

Lynch hurriedly explained his speculation: "I believe that... the other party must have a way to control the time of the outbreak. As long as he is kept alive before the time limit for the outbreak of the plague tonight, the other party will probably not dare to let the plague break out immediately. , we will have enough time to get everyone to take the medicine.”

And if we get the Human Face Fruit tomorrow, everything will be easier. Of course, this was what Lynch was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud.

The four ladies didn't understand Lynch's plan until now. If you think about it seriously, it does make sense.

"You have to believe in the ability of a professional therapist." Dr. Swain clapped his hands and stood up, smiling confidently, "I can't bring him back to life, but there is no problem in ensuring that he does not die within three to five days. , It’s just a matter of delaying tonight, it’s easy, let’s take Uncle Jackson back to the fort.”

Oh, four eyes were fixed on Lin Qi's face at the same time.

Tsk, don't you guys have such a tacit understanding? Especially the two of you, shouldn't you be mortal enemies? Why are you so united now?

Lynch curled his lips, accepted his fate, and carried the nearly brain-dead Jackson, and the group of people returned to the city in a mighty manner.

The city gates have been sealed, and the city is under full martial law. Citizens must stay at home. The surviving travelers are gathered in vacant barns in the city center for unified supervision, and the authorities provide daily necessities.

Except for soldiers with missions, everyone must stay at home and are strictly prohibited from going out. Soldiers have the right to kill anyone who goes out for any reason.

Only heavily armed soldiers were left on the streets of the city, as well as a few corpses of those who had been forced to leave. The citizens discovered that the soldiers were really merciless this time and stayed at home honestly. The whole city became empty.

This is what Lynch relied on to escape danger just now, but no matter what era, there are always privileged people.

For example, Lynch and his group.

Dr. Swain is now the savior of the city. Not only did no one dare to stop her when she went out, but someone also escorted them to the east gate, opened the city gate and guarded it respectfully, and then she was shocked.

Why was he fine when he went out, but turned into a mud monkey when he came back? And what was that loud noise just now? Also, why are there two more people coming back? However, with the order of Knight Terry, the soldiers did not dare to ask any more questions. They just glanced at the man on Lynch's shoulders in confusion. Fortunately, the city lord was covered by Lynch with his cloak, so that the soldiers could not see him. Face, otherwise it would be even more troublesome to explain, but now it is much easier. The soldiers directly opened the city gate and let the group in, and then escorted everyone back to the military camp.

The entrance to the fortress was surrounded by ropes and pillars to form a maze-like space. Thin passages were winding around. You could clearly see the fortress at a glance. It would take at least seven or eight minutes to go around the maze, which reminded Lynch of The waiting area of ​​Hometown Universal Studios.

This is a trick he learned from some not-so-pleasant experiences in his previous life, and he successfully replicated it in this world. At this time, the ‘maze’ was lined up with citizens waiting to receive medicine. There were hundreds of people in the small space, and the team was not chaotic at all under the supervision of the soldiers.

However, there were more complaints in the team at this time. It was said that a new batch of citizens had not been allowed in to receive medicine for a long time. A group of people stood there for more than half an hour. Everyone was anxious, fearing that they would not be able to get the medicine. People in the front and back rows kept muttering, worrying that something had happened inside, otherwise why did it suddenly become so strange?

Yes, it was really strange, why did they suddenly stop distributing medicine?

The group looked at the one in charge of making medicine expressionlessly.

Dr. Swain stuck out his tongue, pulled up his hat to cover his face, and lowered his head to go back to the fortress from the side. When he saw Dr. Swain finally came back, Terry, who had put down his worries, almost cried, but when he saw the one on Lynch's shoulder again, he couldn't even cry. Without asking more questions, let alone the citizens queuing up, he quickly found a clean barracks for the city lord and asked Dr. Swen to take measures to preserve the city lord.

The group was immediately kicked out, and only Dr. Swen and Miss Diana stayed inside. Ten minutes later, the two walked out.

A strange crystal floated on the city lord's chest, and the crystal kept floating and sinking, and the rhythm was synchronized with the city lord's heartbeat. There was also a strange insect lying on his face. As the pores behind the insects contracted rhythmically, the city lord's chest also kept rising and falling.

It's worthy of the Dark Ages, even the ventilator and pacemaker are so weird.

But in any case, at least the city lord's condition has stabilized. Then Dr. Swen took Miss Diana straight to the pharmacy and continued to work day and night, while Lynch and the others stayed in the city lord's ward.

Whether the plan will succeed and whether the other party will stop the outbreak of the plague will be revealed tonight.

Lynch turned his eyes to the direction of Dr. Swen's house with a calm expression.

With the key prop in hand, I am now a checkmate.
