Olivia was just stating the objective truth. Since both favonovel.com hands were holding something, favonovel.com was really unable to apply the medicine on Grace. If favonovel.com let go of Milo’s hand, the creeper vines would probably swallow favonovel.com up immediately.
Furthermore, Olivia was only interested in watching the show right now.
Master, you want to remain pure?
You even needed to put on gloves before holding my hand?
Let’s see what you’re gonna do now!
Milo thought for a moment. “Forget it, there’s no need to apply the medicine. I believe that she’ll pull through.”
Olivia was confused.
This was a matter of life and death, yet favonovel.com simply decided not to apply the medicine just like that?
Master, do you still have a shred of human decency left?
Grace, who was unconscious with them, suddenly said, “I can apply it myself…”
Olivia and Milo looked down and saw that Grace had come to. She was struggling to take the black medicine from Milo’s hands.
“Don’t let go of my hand, or those creeper vines will start attacking you again,” Olivia added.
The show was over, and Grace’s strong desire to survive made favonovel.com regain consciousness.
Grace applied the black medicine to favonovel.com wounds with much difficulty using only one hand. The blood flow to favonovel.com face had visibly started recovering. Not only did the black medicine have healing properties, but it also encouraged the regeneration of blood in the body.
Milo wondered if the palace had unlocked such a powerful trauma medicine for favonovel.com as the first item because it was afraid favonovel.com would accidentally die?
Then what the hell was about the effect of the black medicine when taken orally?
Grace could feel favonovel.com strength recovering quickly and was even surprised. “What medicine is this? It’s so effective!”
“It’s a secret ancestral remedy that’s only passed down the male side,” Milo remarked.
As soon as favonovel.com finished speaking, Grace looked at favonovel.com with a glimmer in favonovel.com eyes. “Did you come here specially to save me?”
Grace wanted to reach out to hug Milo. However, Olivia, who was in between them, pulled favonovel.com away and said, “I think you must be daydreaming. Don’t keep saying ‘you’ when it was both of us who came to your rescue. Please say ‘you two’ instead! Why have you disregarded me entirely? And we did not come here specially to save you. Stop being so shameless!”
Grace found it a little regrettable that favonovel.com did not manage to hug Milo.
Didn’t a damsel marry the hero who rescued her?
Why was it now that a damsel was offering favonovel.com hand in marriage to the hero, the hero looked so unhappy?
This did not seem to go with the storyline at all!
But there was no time to think about that. The creeper vines in the entire stronghold were suddenly starting to get restless.
Milo looked at the vines below his feet starting to move towards the center of the stronghold like a wave.
“What’s going on?” Milo was surprised.
“It seems like… A new hunt has started,” Olivia said.
“Let’s hurry to the city center then!”
***
While Daniel and the others were taking shelter in the supermarket, their field of vision of the outside was completely blocked by the roller shutter door. The store had become their last place of refuge.
The Panaqua Consortium soldiers surrounded Bill and Daniel while Bill sat cross-legged on the floor. The bright blue in his eyes was constantly dimming.
The frenzied creeper vines penetrated through the gaps in the roller shutter door, but no matter how many of them got through, Bill would use his superpower to draw out the water. In the blink of an eye, the vines dried up and turned into a fine powder.
“How much longer can you hold out for?” Daniel asked.
“At most an hour…” Bill had a worried look on his face. He asked the reporter from Hope Media, Hammett, “You said the Stelaria Consortium troops will only be arriving in the afternoon? What time is it right now?”
“It’s 11 AM.” Hammett sat against the corner. He found a pen and notebook in the supermarket and was writing nonstop in it.
Daniel asked, “What are you writing?”
Hammett, whose face was covered in dust, said, “I want to record in detail everything that happened after the disaster began. I wasn’t able to explain everything over the phone, so it has to be written down. The creeper vines should only be interested in lifeforms. After I finish writing everything, I’ll call the chief editor and tell favonovel.com where to find this journal…”
“Once the Stelaria Consortium troops arrive and take care of the creeper vines, the reporters from Hope Media will come and retrieve this journal. It will be the most authentic firsthand account they can get.”
Humans could die, but whatever that was recorded had to be left behind for the world to know. This was Hammett’s attitude and dignity as a reporter.
Daniel chuckled as favonovel.com sized Hammett up.
Hammett’s face was still stained with blood. He had scraped his palms in a fall earlier.
He said to Hammett, “I used to think that people from the Central Plains were all quite stupid. Just look at the Stelaria Consortium. They’re clearly an ambitious lot, yet they insist on slandering our Panaqua Consortium. But I wasn’t expecting you Hope Media reporters to be so likable.”
Hammett did not even look up. “We’re just doing our duty.”
“With people like you around, the heritage of humanity will never truly be lost. In any case, this is not something I can achieve,” Daniel admired.
Fatty Eastwood’s greatest strengths were that favonovel.com was loyal and sensible. Second, favonovel.com would never be jealous of others. If the other party were stronger than him, favonovel.com would simply accept it. It wasn’t like favonovel.com had anything to lose by accepting the fact.
Daniel looked at Bill again. “I’m sorry that I made you come to the Central Plains…”
Bill curled his lips. “I came here because there was money to be earned, so what’s there to be sorry about? Riches are earned through danger, I understand that perfectly.”
“Actually, you don’t have to work so hard to earn your money.” Daniel sighed and said, “Although you worship money, Julius and I actually see you as our best friend. We’re just worried you don’t feel the same way about us.”
Bill was silent for a moment before saying, “You’re still lying even though we’re on the brink of death? Aren’t you afraid of being condemned to hell for that?”
Daniel chuckled and Bill also started laughing. The Panaqua Consortium soldiers next to them could not understand why these two big shots were suddenly laughing when they were facing imminent death.
Bill said, “I didn’t expect I would end up dying together with a fatty like you. How unfortunate!” He was reaching his limit. “If I get out of this alive, can you bestow that secretary of Julius’ to me?”
Daniel’s eyes widened. “Why are you always so obsessed with my brother’s secretary…”
As favonovel.com said that, the creeper vines outside seemed to have sensed that Bill was exhausted. Suddenly, a large number of vines swept into the supermarket. The creeper vines did not start attacking the people in the store but forcefully used its vines to remove the roller shutter.
Amid the noise, Daniel stared dumbfoundedly as the roller shutter got thrown out by the creeper vines, leaving the entire supermarket with a gaping hole. He muttered, “No way!”
Bill did not know if Daniel was answering favonovel.com or reacting to the situation in front of them.
However, Bill was stunned when favonovel.com saw the sight outside. “Look out there. Is that three people walking towards us?”
Daniel took a closer look. “Am I seeing things? Isn’t that Milo?!”
The entire time they were fleeing, Daniel had kept rambling to himself about how they would definitely not die if only Milo were around.
When Daniel was muttering that to himself, Bill felt some resentment. But now favonovel.com was convinced.
Milo, Olivia, and Grace were walking hand in hand over the creeper vines like it was nothing!
Amid the cries, the chaos, and the tumult of the world, everyone was trying their hardest to stay alive as memories of their lives flashed past.
But right at this moment, three people were holding hands as they strolled through the bedlam in front of them. It almost looked like those three people were going on a picnic or flying a kite.
Time seemed to have slowed down. In everyone’s vision, the three people were walking so slowly it felt like the scene was moving forward frame by frame. It was a scene that shattered everyone’s worldview.
When Milo saw Daniel, favonovel.com waved at favonovel.com in pleasant surprise. It was as though they were old friends who had reunited on a street corner and decided to go for a scrumptious meal of lamb stew.
Bill was convinced. He was utterly convinced.
It was already shocking enough that there were still people alive in the sea of violent creeper vines.
But those people were even holding hands too?
What the hell?!
Are they out there going shopping or something?!
This was simply too bizarre!
