The red moon returns

Chapter 424 The Fourth Day

When Lynch regained consciousness, all he could see was a blur.

I am still alive. Did I sleep too little or did I successfully pass the critical period?
Subconsciously trying to reach out for his pocket watch, Lynch unexpectedly found that his arm could not move.

Oh no, I can’t be really infected.

But he immediately realized that his arm was numbed by the pressure and he had lost consciousness.

what's the situation?
Lynch squeezed his blurry eyes hard and looked down.

……

Well, one on the left and one on the right, the two ladies were sleeping soundly with their arms as pillows.

No, it’s okay that you got close, but you slept so soundly. Are you crazy? Do you feel you’re at a disadvantage because you haven’t been bitten?

Although he was very touched and enjoyed it, Lynch's face still turned green. If the person who woke up was an infected person, these two girls would go down to keep him company.

He jumped up with a roar, which alarmed the infected in the cells next door. Roars immediately echoed in the dungeon like a crazy sonata.

The two girls were awakened instantly.

Officer Natalie rolled over on the ground immediately, putting some distance between herself and the source of the sound. When she stopped, her sword was already unsheathed, but her eyes were still a little dazed.

Ms. Diana rubbed her eyes, sat up, and gave Lynch a dazed smile.

"Morning, Mr. Lynch, what happened?"

"What are you yelling for? You scared me." Officer Natalie finally confirmed that there was no danger, she sheathed her sword, and said viciously, "You're so weird. You better be in trouble."

"You two are crazy. You dare to sleep so soundly beside me without knowing the situation." Lin Qi's arrogance was suppressed. Just as he was about to apologize, he suddenly realized why these two were blaming him. "No matter what the reason is, you can't do this. You actually blame me for shouting."

The two ladies were stunned, looked at each other and burst out laughing.

"It seems you slept very well last night and didn't realize what happened, Mr. Lynch."

Looking at the Countess's big, blinking eyes, Lynch was stunned for a moment. He slept very well last night, but he seemed to have been woken up once in the middle of the night. Someone was whispering beside him, and it seemed to be these two girls. His arm seemed to have been bitten by a mosquito.

Hmm? That's not a dream?
Lynch looked down at his arm. There was still a small red dot on the skin inside his elbow, which looked like a mosquito bite.

Pinhole.

Lin Qi immediately understood and shook his numb arm: "This is to inject the medicine for me, right? Does this mean that Dr. Sven's medicine has been prepared?"

"Yes." Miss Diana nodded with a smile. "It's a test drug. It's confirmed to be harmless, but the effect is not stable. I made a batch at around three in the morning and decided to try it on you first. Seeing that you were sleeping well, I didn't wake you up and injected you directly."

"So soon? Didn't you say it would be until noon?"

"It's just a test. It needs to be stabilized. The real medicine will probably be ready by noon." Miss Diana pointed to the haystack next to her. "As for the speed, you have her to thank."

When I turned my head, I found Judy curled up on the straw bed beside me, sleeping like a child. I don’t know if the real Judy was like this in that world of fire.

"She actually has the most knowledge of forbidden things among us, and knows a lot of knowledge and skills from the Third Epoch. She doesn't have to worry about exposing her identity at all." Officer Natalie added, "With her help, Dr. Sven's progress is so fast. Fortunately, we brought her here this time."

That's why she played herself into this state. Lin Qi sighed and asked, "What time is it now?"

"It should be almost eight in the morning." Both ladies smiled brightly. Officer Natalie patted Lynch on the shoulder. "Congratulations, Lynch. The danger period is over."

"Well, so the drug really worked?" "That's unknown." The Countess spread her hands. "No one knows whether you are really infected, so there is no way to judge the effectiveness of the drug. But at least you are safe and sound, so just attribute it to the drug. After all, you are fine now."

Phew, it feels so good to be alive.

It was not until this moment that Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief. No matter how calm he had appeared before, he still felt uneasy in his heart.

The rest of your life.

Lynch was in a good mood. He saw that both girls looked much prettier, which made him smile wickedly.

"That's possible. Maybe I'm crazy."

As he said this, he made a ferocious gesture and pounced on the two girls with a roar, but was immediately pressed down on the straw bed by Officer Natalie. One was pressing and the other was pressed, and they cooperated perfectly. Miss Diana pouting when she saw this, and no one knew what she was thinking.

It was not until Judy, who was woken up, let out an angry roar that the three men's animal-abusing behavior was finally interrupted. The four of them then straightened their clothes and returned to the ground.

The guarding soldiers had no idea that someone had been on the verge of life and death, and they thought that these four people had some special hobbies, such as liking to sleep in the smelly dungeon. The way they looked at them seemed strange.

Upon asking, I found out that all the people who were injured last night had fallen ill in the early hours of the morning, and no one was spared.

More than a dozen people are still alive and are being held deep in the fortress waiting for the medicine to be ready. As for those clever guys who pretended to be injured, they were eventually driven away by the soft-hearted soldiers. Lynch felt a little regretful that he did not get what he wanted.

The four of them went straight to Dr. Sven's temporary laboratory. As soon as they entered the door, they saw a flash of fire in front of them.

This is an open room with a pit in the middle. The firewood inside is burning vigorously. A large ceramic pot is placed on the fire. Green liquid inside is bubbling and emitting bursts of pungent sour smell.

When the four men came in, Dr. Swain was just sprinkling a handful of debris that looked like ashes into the pot. Although it was just sprinkled into the liquid, the flames in the pit suddenly swelled up, filling the air with a burning smell.

The female doctor ignored the four visitors and focused on following the strange rhythm, slowly rotating around the fire and the cauldron, chanting mysterious words in an incomprehensible language. As she chanted, the strong flames quickly dimmed, and all the flames gathered at the bottom of the ceramic cauldron. Then the liquid in the cauldron rolled more violently, and the strange animal corpses and plant residues at the bottom of the cauldron did not float to the surface, making the unknown liquid in the cauldron even more weird.

After turning around a few times, Dr. Swen suddenly shouted, stopped abruptly, pulled out a dagger, pierced his finger, and wrote four symbols in succession on the ground around the cauldron with his blood.

Every time a symbol was drawn, the boiling of the liquid in the pot intensified a little bit. However, when the fourth symbol was written, the boiling liquid surface directly angered all the physicists to death, and instantly became calm. The green liquid turned purple in the blink of an eye, and was still emitting a faint cold air.

This was not the first time Lynch had seen Dr. Swen work. He had seen him yesterday, but no matter how many times he saw him, he always felt that he had many flaws.

He had not seen the drug-making process in the Fifth Epoch of this world, but he had at least visited the pharmacy of the Church of Suffering. It was bright and clean, with large medicine cabinets lined up along the walls, filled with various strange and normal medicinal materials. In the middle were several test tables filled with test tubes, crucibles, gas stoves, and alcohol lamps. From a distance, it looked quite modern, like the one in his hometown.

However, when Dr. Swen prepared the medicine, it reminded Lynch of the legendary wizards in his hometown, especially the big-nosed wizard with a stupid cat in the animation full of blue villains. However, before he could think of a more rude question, Dr. Swen had temporarily stopped, looked back at him, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm glad that you can still come in normally, although I always feel that your eyes are full of malice."

"Ahem, that's slander." Lin Qi smiled and bowed deeply, "Thank you for your trouble."

"Your people helped a lot. No need to thank me. I..."

Before Dr. Swain could finish his words, the door was pushed open again.

Knight Terry, who had made everyone worried all night, walked in with a serious expression.

The first sentence he said caused all five of them to fall silent.

"I think I saw the young master alive."
