Chapter 22 - Something Happened to He Linbing

Chapter 22 Something Happened to He Linbing

A figure rushed in quickly, as if something was chasing after him. One of them lost his balance and suddenly fell in front, but he still protected the person in his arms tightly.

Han Qichuan reacted quickly and stood in front of Yun You. His scale-covered hand stretched out its sharp claws and looked at the figure in front of him warily.

“Why does it look so familiar?” Yun You muttered as she looked at the back of the person who had fallen to the ground.

When that person raised his head, even Han Qichuan was a little surprised. Yun You even covered her mouth in surprise.

It was undoubtedly Cheng Jun, and he was protecting He Linbing in his arms.

What surprised Yun You and the others was that Cheng Jun’s forehead was covered in blood. There was a long tear in his long sleeve, and one could clearly see the bloody wound inside. His clothes were also covered in frost and traces of being roasted by flames.

His entire body was covered in dust.

“What happened to you guys?” Yun You asked.

“Boss, save He Linbing.” Cheng Jun’s eyes were red, and his tone was urgent.

“This is…” Only then did Yun You realize that something was wrong with He Linbing.

There was no color on He Linbing’s face. Her pale and sickly face was stained with a strange greenish-gray color. Her eyebrows were furrowed, her lips were pursed tightly, and she moaned in pain from time to time. There were deep bite marks on her shoulder that were bleeding.

“She’s being infected.” A cold and deep voice sounded. A cold glint appeared in Han Qichuan’s eyes, and his sharp claws were about to attack.

Cheng Jun sensed Han Qichuan’s intentions and gathered his power to counterattack. However, he could not gather his power in the shop. He could only use his body to block Han Qichuan’s attack and protect He Linbing. His eyes were filled with determination.

“Stop!”

Yun You hugged Han Qichuan’s arm with both hands and stopped him from attacking.

Han Qichuan stopped and looked at Yun You in confusion.

“Yun You, she’s hopeless.”

In his limited memory, being infected by a zombie could only result in death or becoming a zombie. Now, in Yun You’s shop, it was best to get rid of it before it turned into a zombie to prevent trouble.

Yun You sighed. Just as she was about to explain to him, she heard Cheng Jun argue fiercely. His voice was hoarse.

“Who said that? Who said that? There’s clearly still hope! There’s still hope! Level 3 healing-type special ability users can do it!”

Han Qichuan was stunned and did not plan to continue attacking. On the other hand, Yun You was shocked.

[Wait, Big Orange, why would he know about this? The timing is not right!]

Yun You had once learned from the information on Earth that time had reversed once in this world.

In the previous timeline, the use of healing-type ability users in the early stages was very limited, causing the appearance of Level 3 healers to be appear late. Therefore, under normal circumstances, it would take a few months for this matter to be known.

[Meow, I don’t know either.] Big Orange also came over in surprise.

“You’re not allowed to fight in my shop.” Yun You gave Han Qichuan a warning look.

Han Qichuan’s face was still cold, but he said to Cheng Jun, “I’m sorry.

Yun You helped Cheng Jun carry He Linbing to the sofa and checked her condition. She had just been bitten.

“What happened to you guys?”

“We-”

Cang Qing and the others set off at noon to the place they had agreed to meet the Dragon Might Base crew. In the end, they were attacked halfway.

From last night to today, it was obvious that they were targeted. But they didn’t know why?

There were not many of them. They were dressed in black and had about Level 3 abilities.

They were not their match to begin with. However, it was annoying to ambush them from time to time, so they slowed down. Unexpectedly, they attracted zombies. Their target was He Linbing, but it was too late when they realized it. He Linbing was still bitten by the zombie. After succeeding, they retreated without hesitation. If it had been before, He Linbing would have been dead.

However, not long ago, there had been news from the Dragon Might Base that a Level 3 healing-type special ability user had cured a person who had not completely been infected and mutated. Cheng Jun did not want to give up. After some discussion, he decided to bring He Linbing to meet the Dragon Might people early so that he could treat He Linbing. He was afraid that it would be too late. However, on the way, Cheng Jun met them again. The heavens seemed to have played a joke on him. After he shook them off, he encountered a peak Level 4 Strength-type zombie with an Earth-element ability. Fortunately, Bai Yunyou’s shop was on this road, so what happened after that.

Yun You looked out and indeed saw the zombie wandering outside, but she did not dare to take half a step in.

This zombie was the one that had chased after Lu Linyan and the others previously. It had suffered once and did not dare to rashly provoke this area.

“Let me see if I can save her,” Yun You said to Cheng Jun as she thought about her ability as a repairman.

Cheng Jun was overjoyed. Could it be that the store manager happened to be a healing-type ability user?

Yun You stretched out her hand, but she could not summon a white light no matter what. She clearly had enough system coins! She called up the system panel that only she and Big Orange could see. She realized that the spot where the fifty had been deducted had turned gray, as if it had been locked. Only then did she remember that she fainted after treating Han Qichuan this morning. [What’s wrong with it, Big Orange? Why is it restricted? Previously, it worked on Han Qichuan’s injuries!]

[Meow, strange?] Big Orange also circled around Yun You in confusion. When Han Qichuan saw that Yun You’s ability had failed, he was also puzzled and lowered his eyes. Judging from the injuries on his body, Yun You had a healing ability. Could it be because of him that she couldn’t do it now? “Sorry, there seems to be a problem with my ability,” Yun You said to Cheng Jun. “Manager, don’t force yourself. Please help us block that zombie. I’ll take her to Dragon Might.” Although Cheng Jun was a little disappointed, he didn’t make things difficult for Yun You. His original purpose in coming to the shop was to block that zombie.

He hoped that there was still time. Yun You shook her head. “Zombies can’t come over. It’s just that it’s probably too late for you to go over there…”

Before he could finish speaking, Cheng Jun was a little agitated. His tone was a little demonic. “Impossible. We’ll definitely make it. We’ll make it…”

Han Qichuan’s entire body tensed up as he looked at Cheng Jun warily. “Calm down, calm down. Listen to me. I didn’t say that she couldn’t be saved.” Yun You was a little helpless. Before she could finish speaking, she became excited. “In the shop, the zombie virus will be suppressed.”

Han Qichuan was a little surprised, but he remembered that his ability seemed to be useless here, so there was nothing strange about it.

“Although she won’t become a zombie, her life will still be in danger. Stop, don’t be agitated.” Seeing that Cheng Jun was about to lose his temper again, Yun You immediately shouted for him to stop. Then, she quickly said in one breath, “The signature series in the shop, Resuscitation, can guarantee her a day of life.”

“Even after I leave the shop, there won’t be any problems for a day. However, I have to make it.”

Cheng Jun calmed down and thought for a moment before agreeing. “Okay.” Actually, he knew very well that it was too late for him to go over. He was just deceiving himself. He did not want to give up on any bit of hope. Cheng Jun hugged He Linbing tightly. Yun You nodded. “It’ll be done soon.” Then, she turned around and walked to the kitchen.
