Capítulo 21: Chapter 21: Fate Weapon
Editor: Exodus Tales
In the battle with the Plague House, two things surpassed Han Dong's expectations, one was good news, the other was bad news.
The good news was that the combat strength of "Possessed" Chen Li was much higher than the 'E+' he had understood. Against a Plague Body whose physical abilities were limited to the range of normal humans, she could basically achieve 'a limb cut off with one blow'.
The bad news was that the Plague Body was only using the bodies of this family, no matter how they were cut.
The severed parts, when they fell to the ground, could all become independent entities.
Even in the course of the fight, one finger had crept up onto her calf,unnoticed by Chen Li! With its nail, it pierced the skin to transmit the plague.
"Miss Chen Li, try to gather their limbs together as much as possible."
"Hmm..."
When everything was ready.
Han Dong threw out two bottles of cheap alcohol.
Whoosh!
Chen Li accurately sliced the alcohol bottles with one swipe.
The alcohol sprayed onto the bodies of these plague beings.
Han Dong swiftly followed up, forcefully smashing a plastic lighter to the ground... The plastic shell broke, formed a 'pressure difference' with the external environment under high-pressure, causing a small explosion with its fuel under such pressure.
The cheap and high-proof alcohol was quickly ignited.
What these plague bodies feared most was fire... as long as they were in the realm of biology, flames could easily burn these plague germs, even spores couldn't tolerate temperatures above 130℃.
Whoosh!
Before completely burned out.
Han Dong, after confirming the mostly burnt limbs had entirely lost their vitality and posed no threat, had a mysterious metal syringe appear in his right hand to extract the 'cell essence' of the plague body.
Immediately following, the prompt for the completion of the hidden mission also came.
Han Dong, who had put away the syringe, did not think of claiming the reward, but rushed to Chen Li's side.
"Miss Chen Li, I need you to sit against the wall... If the wound on your leg is not treated promptly, it would be troublesome if the germs spread within the body."
"Hmm."
Chen Li sat against the wall, extending her injured right leg.
From the hole in the jeans, a dark green liquid was already leaking from the wound, which seemed to be a dire situation.
"I need to check the other parts of your calf... is that okay?"
"Hmm."
Having received consent.
Hiss~
With the help of a small knife, he cut the jeans around the wound to observe the spread of the germs.
Who would have thought... what was exposed was just Chen Li's fair calf, there was no sign of 'infection spreading' at all.
"Strange, it's been a while since the injury... coupled with the vigorous activity, the blood should have carried the germs to other parts of the body long ago, why hasn't it spread?"
As Han Dong observed carefully with the flashlight, he finally discovered a 'wicked energy' circling around the wound.
It was this wicked energy that confined the plague germs here.
"There's this kind of play?"
At the same time as Han Dong was surprised, he took out another bottle of cheap alcohol again, evenly applying it to the wound on the calf.
Han Dong looked at Chen Li: "Bear with it... it's going to hurt next."
"Okay."
In order to eradicate the plague, he ignited the alcohol on the wound with a lighter.
Crackle~
Accompanied by the sound of organic matter burning, Chen Li's body also vigorously shook.
The alcohol burn caused all the germs in the wound area to die.
A normal person might have passed out from the pain during this process, but Chen Li seemed completely fine.
"...Thank you."
Han Dong smiled in response: "I should be the one thanking... is your body okay?"
"I'm fine."
Chen Li had a high endurance level, she leaned against the wall to stand up just after her thigh had undergone burning. After a brief rest, her movements were in no way inhibited.
As for Han Dong, he was feeling a little excited as he went to claim his deserved reward.
At the moment when the Plague Body was burned.
A bronze treasure chest appeared out of nowhere in this cellar area... Han Dong stared at this treasure chest that appeared from who knows where, growing even more curious about the 'Fate Space'.
Click!
The treasure chest opened.
On the red cushion, there was a short sword of about forty cm long.
A poisonous snake mark was finely engraved on the hilt, and the sharp blade, under the illumination of the glow of the flashlight, emitted a faint green light.
"What is this!?"
When Han Dong held the dagger in his hand, he immediately received a message about the 'Fate Item'.
Fate Item - "Plague Doctor's Short Blade"
Type: Magical Instrument
Quality: Excellent
Special Effects:
①. Adds 'Poison' damage when attacking.
②. If the owner majors in [Mysticism], they can use the active skill: "Plague" - a non-directional single-target skill that allows the target to contract a plague (rank of 1 + Mysticism specialization).
Origin: A protective dagger used for self-defense by the plague doctors during the Plague-ravaged Middle Ages.
"A 'Fate Item' similar to game data?"
Han Dong immediately remembered that the long sword, drawn by the leader of the Black Rose Knight Squad, also emitted a strong white aura. It should also be a 'Fate Item'.
"Such an item can greatly increase the survival rate... and what is [Mysticism Specialization]? Interesting, I'll find out more about it after I survive this."
Han Dong replaced the common dagger he bought with the short sword and wore it around his waist.
The hidden event took a total of one hour.
There are six hours and thirty minutes left for the mainline event... There is still time to hurry back to the bungalow. This unexpected reward increases Han Dong's chances of survival.
"Miss Chen Li, let's take a detour back."
"Why?"
"The substitute Edward had by his side is gone, and in order to protect himself, he will surely come up the mountain to find me...we best avoid meeting him for the time being."
"Hmm."
However, on this rainy day, the mountain road was slippery... Ultimately, with Chen Li's help, the two managed to return to the bungalow within twenty minutes.
Meet up with Daqing, who is still waiting in the dismantled house.
"Daqing, is everything ready?"
"It's ready... But with such heavy rain, it may not have the expected effect."
"It's okay, as long as we can 'start' it's fine!"
Everything is in place.
Han Dong is determined to stay inside the bungalow, ready to spend the most dangerous few hours here.
........
Edward. Murray
This young man from a special family has prepared for this 'Fate Space' for a full year and a half. He even willingly had an arm amputated and spent a large sum of money on prosthetic surgery.
In Edward's eyes, all his companions are stepping stones for him, using the 'time limit' to fight for the maximum survival time.
However... there seems to be a minor problem now.
"Where is everyone! There's no way Nicholas, this physically weak kid, or the timid female follower could have gotten far... How come I can't find them? Not even a trace of flashlight light?
These two cowards wouldn't have committed suicide together, would they?"
Edward has already found the dilapidated tile house where Han Dong had hidden, and his excellent physical fitness allowed him to search a large area around the hillside, but he failed to find anyone.
Just then.
From the direction of the forest illuminated by the flashlight, a skinny woman with black hair slowly walked out.
"Arkman... Great! I finally found you guys!"
Edward approached proactively. In his eyes, Arkman was just another 'tool' to buy him some time.
