Chapter 422 Poison To Cure Poison
Chen Zi Han dove forward, grabbing his woman in his arms before she managed to hit the ground. "Liu Yu Zeng!" he screamed, not knowing what was going on. He looked down at the precious bundle in his arms, only to see sweat pouring from her head as her body started to shake.
"Put her in Cerberus; we need to get her to Bin An Sha!" shouted the other man as he jumped on his motorcycle.
"He won't be fast enough," said Kronos, stamping his foot in impatience. "Get on me with her and tell me where you want to go," he continued. Chen Zi Han handed Li Dai Lu over to the other man as he swung himself up into the saddle.
"Give her to me," he called, leaning down with open arms to take her back. As soon as she was passed off, Liu Yu Zeng jumped on his bike and took off like a bat out of Hell. "To Bin An Sha," he told Kronos, and the horse took off into a sprint.
In less time than it took to blink, Chen Zi Han was in the middle of the zombie tide, surrounded by Wang Chao, Liu Wei, and a very beat-up Bin An Sha. "What the fuck!" demanded the man as he jumped down off the horse with Li Dai Lu in his arms. "Why the fuck is he like that!?? Get rid of the fucking zombies! Something has happened to Princess, and we need him to save her!"
"What?" demanded Liu Wei seconds before waving his hand, killing all of the remaining zombies, including the ones originally frozen by Li Dai Lu.
Wang Chao quickly took her out of Chen Zi Han's arms and brought her to Bin An Sha. "Heal her," he growled, a feral look in his eye as the other man just looked at him.
"I can't," he said, panting. "I am all tapped out."historical
"Are you fucking kidding me right now?" demanded Wang Chao. Bin An Sha should consider himself lucky that his hands were full, or else he would have had his throat ripped out. "How could you not leave anything left? What if another zombie appeared? You never go to failure because failure means death."
Disgusted by the man kneeling on the ground, Wang Chao turned away from him and carried his woman to Liu Wei. "Don't let her die," he growled, his words barely sounding like something coming from a human body.
"You don't need to tell me that, War," snarled Liu Wei. He looked down at Li Dai Lu and saw her flame frantically flickering as whatever was causing her to be sick rushed through her system. "She will not die."
"She drank something weird," said Violence, appearing beside Li Dai Lu. "It's not agreeing with us. Headache, body feels like it is on fire, pain," she continued pushing through the pain to let the guys know what was going on. They were her only hope.
"If she dies, there is no fourth life," she warned right before she disappeared, her body too weak to keep her in this realm anymore.
"Fuck! What are we going to do?" demanded Chen Zi Han, his wide eyes turning to the man still panting on the ground. "You were a doctor before you were a healer. Figure out what is wrong with her. Between the four of us, we should be able to cure anything."
"Really?" asked Bin An Sha as he dragged himself toward Li Dai Lu. "Fine, lay her down flat on the ground," he continued, causing the other three men to look at him like he was crazy.
"Fuck no," sneered Wang Chao. "One of us will be holding on to her at all times. The ground is too dirty for her."
"Are you serious?" asked Bin An Sha. "There is no way I can do a proper exam if one of you is holding her."
"Then don't do a proper exam," said Liu Yu Zeng as he jumped off his bike and stood beside his brother. "Do we know what is going on?" he asked. "And why isn't the fifth wheel fixing her?"
"He had nothing left to give," replied Wang Chao with a snort.
"Then he can just up and die," shrugged Liu Yu Zeng as if it wasn't that big of a deal. And to him, it really wasn't. A well-placed bullet solved a lot of problems.
"Violence said that they drank something weird," said Liu Wei, trying to rack his brain about what else the personality had said.
"Could it be poison?" asked Wang Chao. "But how could she be poisoned? Everything in her space was put there by herself."
"Figure out the minor details later. For right now, we are going to work with the assumption that she is poisoned," said Liu Yu Zeng, a somewhat psychotic smile on his face. There was no way he was losing his woman if it was just a matter of a little poison.
Taking a deep breath, he placed one hand on her forehead and another one on her stomach. Closing his eyes, Liu Yu Zeng sent in the smallest hint of his mist into her, hoping that it could find whatever poison was killing her.
He could practically see his mist rushing through her veins and muscles, swallowing up whatever darkness it could find inside of her. And there was a lot of darkness.
"Protect her heart." Hearing a voice in the distance, Liu Yu Zeng struggled to understand what it was trying to say.
"Her heart!" it came again, this time practically shouting in his ear. He gathered up his mist and tried to find his way to her heart and other organs. Unfortunately, he was almost completely clueless when it came to finding the internal organs inside a body.
He understood it from an outside perspective; it was actually really handy when you were torturing people for information. However, this was completely different. All he could see was pulsing red lines and moving circles.
"Don't worry," came a second voice, one that he was quite familiar with. "Keep following the flow of blood, killing whatever you can in the meantime. The 'river' will take you straight to the heart and other organs."
"You're the big brother," Liu Yu Zeng could hear himself saying.
"Pay attention. Blood returns to the heart 72 times every minute. If you blink, you might miss it," continued Liu Wei, wanting to slap his younger brother. However, if anyone could save someone that was poisoned, it was someone that was poison.
"I am here," replied his brother, almost sleepily. However, the other men understood that that was simply because part of him was inside the body of the one person who meant the most to them all.
