Chapter Seventy-Three: Good News and Bad News
Lianhua didn't go far, and Lucy was just joking with Li Ao, and she wasn't really angry with him. The two of them made a fuss for a while, and saw the old woman with Fleck and Gillek coming over from the crowd, and without saying a word, the three of them knelt on the ground, Liao and Lucy hurriedly dodged, they couldn't stand it.
"Mother-in-law, what are you doing here?" Lucy stepped forward to help the old woman up.
"Thank you for saving my child, thank you," the old woman refused to get up on her knees.
"Mother-in-law, get up quickly, you are so old and kneeling, we don't want us to lose our lives!" Li Ao also walked over.
When the old woman heard this, she was embarrassed to kneel again, and stood up with Lucy's support, but still bowed deeply with her two sons. He felt that he could still bear it, so he didn't refuse. The old woman bowed and walked away with her sons, who had so much to say after she and her two sons hadn't seen each other for so long.
After the old woman walked away, Lucy lost the mood to continue joking with Leon, so Liao proposed to take her around the church to see the traces of his and Lianhua's battles, and Lucy agreed as well.
Rive took Lucy to see the clearing where they fought with Negoma, to see the church where a third was left, and to see the poisonous weeds behind the church, all of which left a deep impression on Lucy, especially the pits of different shades in the clearing, even if you look at it now, you can know what kind of battle this place has experienced before.
"It's great that you guys can win. Lucy sighed.
"Don't you think we're amazing!" said with a smile.
"And which of you is the best?" said Lucy, looking at Rio teasingly.
"Wow~ It's so fragrant~ I'm just hungry, Lucy, you don't know, in order to pick you up in the afternoon, I didn't have a good lunch, I must eat more dinner today, and I won't come back at noon. Li Ao will not be stupid to Lucy, answer this question, and slip away with hunger.
"Hahaha~" Lucy smiled happily as she looked at Li Ao's back.
As the saying goes, male and female partners are not tired from work, and dinner is ready before the meal, and finally it is no longer bread with vegetable soup, but rice and a large pot of dishes.
Just as everyone was about to sit down for dinner, the door to the laboratory opened, and Delai and Jane walked out, followed by two young men, who were pale and bloodless, and walked with stiff limbs. Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at them, watched them get closer and closer, watched them walk in front of everyone, and for a moment the whole clearing was silent.
"It's so quiet, I have good news and bad news for you, which one do you want to hear first?" asked Delai with a smile as he glanced at the crowd.
"Of course it's good news. Rion replied.
"The good news is that they are," Delai leaned sideways and let the two young men behind him come up, then announced loudly, "The zombie virus has been successfully cracked!"
"Wow~" The audience erupted in warm applause and cheers, and the cheers came and went, wave after wave. Some of the people who wore hats even threw their hats into the sky.
Just when everyone was immersed in joy, Lianhua's cold voice came out of the crowd. "Where's the bad news?"
The question made people stop all at once, and everyone's eyes were focused on Delai.
Delai sighed deeply and said with regret on his face, "Well, the bad news is that after becoming a zombie, the body has been in a state of stiffness, even after the zombie disease virus is eliminated, this state still exists, it will affect the ability of the restorer to move and express himself, which can only be slowly recovered by time and self-exercise, there is no other way." β
"How long will this last?" someone in the crowd asked.
"It depends on how long they have been poisoned, how well they can recover, and how old they are. Delay replied truthfully.
"Can it really be recovered?" asked another.
"Of course, this is just a state of the body, and it can definitely be recovered!"
After listening to Delai's explanation, the survivors were silent, but soon they figured out that they could make zombies turn back to their original form, which was much better than the current state, and besides, the stiffness of the body could be restored, and after realizing this, they expressed their gratitude to Delai.
After dinner, everyone ate even more happily, and the two young people who had just recovered quickly blended in, and the mountain that pressed them disappeared completely.
Lianhua, Liao, Jane, Delai, and Lucy sat around for dinner.
"Hello, Lucy, I just forgot to say hello to you, when did you come?" Jane greeted Lucy as she ate.
"Hee-hee~ You're good, Jane, I just arrived this afternoon. Lucy smiled at Jane, revealing two beautiful dimples.
"Isn't there anyone I can introduce?" Delai interjected from the side.
"Hahaha~ I forgot, Delai, this is Lucy, our partner along the way. Liao introduced Lucy to Delai, and at the same time introduced Delai to Lucy, "This is Delai, the friend we met here, and he's a super funny guy." β
"Nice to meet you. Lucy and Delai nodded to each other and said in unison.
It's also a young man, and it's the same age, and it doesn't take long for them to get acquainted.
Seeing that this dinner was almost over, Lianhua looked at Delai and asked, "Tell me about your plans." β
"Now that the poison has been cured, we will start mass production of the antidote," Delai said with a plan.
"Tell me how you arranged it. Jane looked at Delai, too.
"That's rightβ" Delai gestured closer to me.
Delai's distribution is as follows, Lianhua and Liao are responsible for going to the city lord's mansion to get herbs and feed zombie antidotes, Jane is responsible for the neutralization of the hundred poisonous herbs, and Delai himself is responsible for the toxin cleanup after neutralization, and finally at Lucy's strong request, Lucy is also involved and is responsible for miscellaneous work.
After dinner, everyone split up and got busy, this busy is 4 days, in addition to sleeping and eating, they are busy with their own responsibilities, 4 days passed quickly in the busy, after their efforts, the zombies in the enchantment have all changed back to their original state, which also means that Kasro City has finally been reborn.
As more and more people return to normal, the church is no longer able to live. Led by two brothers, Fleck and Gilek, the team began a plan to rebuild the city of Kasro, and both survivors and restorers joined the ranks. The old woman was the first to send someone to inform the fugitives that they could go home. Everything is in order.
On the fifth day, Lianhua, Liao, Jane, Delai, and Lucy slept tacitly until the evening. After sleeping for so long, my stomach was already hungry, but fortunately, with Chef Lianhua, it didn't take long for 8 side dishes to appear on the table.
Everyone sat around the wooden table, and Rio had conjured a barrel of ale out of nowhere. "Things are settled in Kasro City, let's have some drinks and celebrate!"
"Okay," no one objected to this proposal.
The conditions on this side of the church are limited, and there are no cups that can only be replaced by bowls, and Liao fills everyone with ale, but Lucy is empty.
Lucy looked at the empty bowl in front of her, frowning. "Where's my wine?"
Liao looked at Lianhua with his eyes, winking at Lucy.
Without waiting for Lucy to ask another question, Lianhua, who was sitting next to her, took some vegetables and put them in her empty bowl, "You eat vegetables." β
"I'm going to drink. Lucy finished the dish in one bite, looked at Lianhua and said.
Lianhua looked back at her.
"I, to, drink, drink. β
β...β
"I'm going to drink, just a little. Lucy didn't give up.
"Only a little bit of it. Lianhua was defeated.
Seeing Lianhua deflated, Rio, Jane, and Delai laughed out loud without giving face.
