The red moon returns

Chapter 439 Now, I am a General

Lynch found himself back where it all began.

It was the grove where the four entered their memories. It was not far from where they appeared. When the four just landed, they might have seen this ancient tree from afar, but they did not realize it at the time.

Lin Qi looked at the familiar woods and seemed to have realized something. It might not be unreasonable for the four of them to enter into memories from here.

A fantasy emerged in my mind. Perhaps in real history, Mrs. Stephen Swain asked her tribe to stop her father's crazy behavior and purify herself. After the ghouls left the city, he escaped from the city through this tunnel and stood at the edge of the woods, looking at the city where his daughter died. And this memory may have started from that time and place.

It was a very strange fantasy that could never be confirmed, but Lin Qi thought it was very likely to be true. Fortunately, he had this trip today. Otherwise, even if the four of them came here every day to visit their head, they would not have thought that there was a place leading to the devil's cave not far away...

???

Holy shit! The human-faced fruit.

Lin Qi roared and rushed out, heading straight for the place where the human-faced fruits were planted.

But please don't let anything happen. If it is not far away and is blown up by its own attack, it will be the stupidest era joke in the Fifth Epoch.

After running fifty or sixty meters, they found the planting site. It was really not far away, and fortunately there were sparse trees blocking the way. The explosion did not affect these fragile mysterious plants. The heads of the four people were still hanging on the branches, waving in the wind.

"What nonsense."

Officer Natalie, who was following closely behind him, skillfully stepped on Lynch's toes and crushed them. The fruits were clearly not yet ripe, so how could they be waving in the wind?

But it is growing very well and should mature smoothly tomorrow. It depends on whether this last flower of hope can bear the fruit of life.

The two took the opportunity to check all five plants, and then they returned to the battlefield with peace of mind.

Lynch made a gesture to Diana and Judy who were guarding the doctor that everything was fine. Hearing footsteps, Dr. Swain also raised his head.

"The injury is too severe to save him." Doctor Swen sighed regretfully, "Several of his main blood vessels were bitten off. Although you treated him in time, your technique was not professional and you did not align the severed blood vessels in advance. Now his brain has become paralyzed and he is only one step away from death."

Hiss~~If he dies, all the risk I took will be in vain.

Lin Qi's face looked a little grim, but he recalled some measures taken by the hospital in his previous life, and asked nervously: "It doesn't matter if he can't be saved. Can you guarantee that he won't die? There's no need to delay it any longer, just wait until tomorrow."

"Ok?"

Lin Qi quickly explained his speculation: "I believe that Si... the other party must have a way to control the time of the outbreak. As long as we ensure that he is alive before the outbreak deadline tonight, the other party may not dare to let the plague break out immediately, and we will have enough time for everyone to take the medicine."

And tomorrow we get the human-faced fruit, and everything will be easy. Of course, this was Lin Qi's inner thoughts, but he didn't say it out loud.

It was not until this time that the four ladies understood Lynch's plan. If they thought about it carefully, it did make sense.

"You have to believe in the ability of a professional therapist." Doctor Swen clapped his hands and stood up, smiling confidently, "I can't bring him back to life, but it's no problem to ensure that he doesn't die within three to five days. It's just a matter of dragging it out tonight. It's easy. Let's take Uncle Jackson back to the fortress."

Swish, four pairs of eyes were fixed on Lin Qi's face at the same time. Tsk, you two are so tacit, especially you two, shouldn't you be mortal enemies, why are you so united now?

Lynch curled his lips, resigned himself to carrying Jackson, who was nearly brain-dead, and a group of people returned to the city in a mighty manner.

The city gates have been closed and martial law has been imposed in the city. Citizens must stay at home, and the surviving travelers have been gathered in an empty barn in the city center for unified supervision and provided with daily necessities by the government.

Except for soldiers on missions, everyone must stay at home and is strictly prohibited from going out. Soldiers have the right to kill anyone who goes out for any reason.

The only people left on the streets of the city were the fully armed soldiers, and the bodies of several people who had forced their way out. The citizens realized that the soldiers were really ruthless this time, so they stayed at home obediently, and the whole city became empty.

This is exactly what Lynch relied on to escape danger just now, but no matter what era, privileged people will always exist.

For example, Lynch and his group.

Dr. Swen is now the savior of the city. Not only does no one dare to stop her from going out, but there are also people who escort them to the east gate, open the gate and guard it respectfully. Then they were frightened.

How come he was fine when he left, but turned into a mud monkey when he came back? And what was that loud noise just now? And why are there two more people when he came back? But with Knight Terry's order, the soldiers did not dare to ask more questions. They just looked at the person on Lynch's shoulder in confusion. Fortunately, Lynch covered the city lord with his cloak, so the soldiers did not see his face. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome to explain. Now it was much simpler. The soldiers directly opened the city gate and let the group in, and then escorted everyone back to the barracks.

The entrance to the fortress was surrounded by ropes and pillars to form a maze-like space. The narrow passages twisted and turned. Although the fortress could be seen at a glance, it took at least seven or eight minutes to walk around the maze, which reminded Lynch of the waiting area of ​​the Universal Studios in his hometown.

This was a little trick he learned from some not-so-pleasant experiences in his previous life, and he had successfully replicated it in this world. At this moment, the 'maze' was lined with citizens waiting to receive medicines. There were hundreds of people lined up in the small space, and under the supervision of the soldiers, the team was not at all disorderly.

However, there were some complaints in the queue at this time. It was said that a new batch of citizens had not been allowed in to get the medicine for a long time. A group of people stood there for more than half an hour. Everyone was anxious, fearing that they would not be able to get the medicine. People in the front and back rows kept muttering, worrying if something had happened inside, otherwise why did it suddenly become so strange?

Yes, that’s really strange, why did they suddenly stop distributing the medicine?

The group looked at the person in charge of making the medicine expressionlessly.

Dr. Swain stuck out his tongue, pulled up his hat to cover his face, and walked back to the fortress from the side with his head down. When Terry saw Dr. Swain finally come back, he almost cried, but when he saw the one on Lynch's shoulder, he couldn't even cry anymore. He didn't bother to ask more questions, let alone the citizens in line, and quickly found a clean barracks for the city lord so that Dr. Swain could take measures to keep the city lord fresh.

The group was immediately kicked out, and only Dr. Swen and Miss Diana remained inside. Ten minutes later, the two came out.

A strange crystal was floating on the city lord's chest, rising and falling continuously, and its rhythm was synchronized with the city lord's heartbeat. There was also a strange insect lying on its face, and as the pores on the back of the insect contracted rhythmically, the city lord's chest also rose and fell continuously.

It's the Dark Ages indeed, even ventilators and pacemakers are so weird.

But no matter what, at least the city lord's condition stabilized. Then Dr. Swain took Miss Diana straight to the pharmacy and continued to work day and night. Lynch and a few others stayed in the city lord's ward.

Whether the plan will succeed and whether the other party can stop the outbreak of the plague will be revealed tonight.

Lynch turned his gaze towards Dr. Swain's house with a calm expression.

With the key prop in hand, I am now a checkmate.
