Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 143: Take Two Steps Without Sickness

Mr. Freeze had no idea what Ma Zhaodi was talking about, but he looked very confident, and he did not bring any helpers or weapons, and he did not look like a madman.

So he believed it this time and temporarily stopped the operation of the freezing machine.

As the liquid freezing gas in the chamber was drained, Nora lay quietly in the tilted sleeping chamber and did not wake up for a while.

"I'll ask again, are you sure?"

"Hurry up! If you delay any longer, it will be nightfall and nocturnal creatures will be out and about—and you probably won't like it."

Mr. Freeze was stunned for a moment, and did not answer, but just opened the warehouse door.

The warehouse door opened, and the remaining cold air in the warehouse overflowed. The white gas sank to the ground, and a fine layer of frost immediately appeared on the ground.

Ma Zhaodi looked at Nora lying in the warehouse. After opening the door, he could hear her heartbeat gradually and saw her skin gradually regain its color - it seemed that Victor's cryogenic treatment was quite powerful, and it took almost no time to adapt from thawing to recovery.

After a moment, Nora's eyelids trembled slightly, and Victor subconsciously grabbed her hand, but then loosened it slightly.

Ever since he woke up from the ice, built the armor and the freezing gun, and rescued Nora from Goth's hands who was about to be sold along with the project, even until now, he has not dared to thaw his wife.

Is it because he doesn't want to waste her remaining life, or is it because he is not ready to face her?
Victor didn't know either, he just held his wife's hand blankly. In the end, his love for her prevailed and he didn't retreat.

The Sleeping Beauty in the crystal coffin finally regained consciousness. The first thing she could feel was a hand holding her, but the hand had no temperature at all, so there was naturally no sense of touch. If she had to say, the feeling was actually cold, as if someone was wearing a glove and holding her hand.

Who is it? The force was gentle, but who was it?
She opened her eyes with such doubts and saw Victor standing beside her.

The man in front of her was almost unrecognizable. He had slightly bluish skin that didn't look like that of a human, wore disturbing red round glasses, and was wearing a strange set of armor and a helmet that looked like a glass cover. If it weren't for his familiar face, Nora would have definitely broken free from his hand immediately.

"Victor, is that you?"

Nora called out to her lover softly in disbelief. He had changed so much she could barely recognize him. He used to love wearing home shirts and black-framed glasses, standing by her bed, coaxing her to sleep, rambling on about the progress of the hypothermia program, hearing about new, effective drugs, the improvements in his pathology report, and what their future would be like after he was cured.

How did he become like this?
"Nora."

She heard a voice coming from the helmet hood. Although it was a little dull, it was indeed her husband's voice.

"Victor, how did you become like this?"

As she asked, she struggled to get up, but she had no strength at all. The long period of bed rest due to serious illness had affected her body to a certain extent. If she wanted to stand up now, she would need time to readjust her muscles and bones.

"Noila, a lot has happened to me recently. I'll explain it to you slowly."

Freese changed the subject. Nora couldn't tell what he was thinking, but Ma Zhaodi on the side knew it very well. So he took two steps forward and attracted Nora's attention.

"Mrs. Nora Freese, I know you've just been thawed from the ice and have a lot to say to Victor, but given your urgent situation, let's get treatment first, shall we?"

Ma Zhaodi said this, and handed the white toffee and red fruit candy in his hand to her: "Here, this one has milk flavor, and this one has strawberry flavor."

Victor on the side focused his attention on the candy in his hand again. Although Ma Zhaodi had said in advance that he would use these two pills to treat the disease, he didn't think that these two things that looked like candies would be the special medicine for his wife's cancer. He didn't expect that he really planned to use this thing to treat Nora.

Noila looked at the two candies in front of her, completely bewildered. She turned to look at Victor beside her and saw that he nodded to her, so she looked back at Ma Zhaodi. "Who are you? The doctor Victor hired for me?"

"That's understandable."

"Depending on these two candies?"

"Whether they cure diseases or not, eating candies can make people happier."

This is true.

Nora couldn't figure out what was going on with this strange man, but she believed in Victor. Even though he had become a little strange now, he was still her beloved husband.

"Can I have strawberry flavor? I don't like milk very much."

Ma Zhaodi smiled at her kindly: "No problem."

Then he took advantage of Nora's opening her mouth and threw the two candies in together.

Do you think you are playing The Matrix? And you still want to pick one?
“Mrs. Nora, don’t vomit. You can’t be picky about food when taking medicine.”

Noila had two candies in her mouth and was about to protest when she suddenly felt a strange feeling in her body.

It is a kind of vitality, a healthy, vital, long-lost sense of power.

Victor, who was standing by, watched in amazement as his wife ate two candies. Then she suddenly raised her hands, supported herself on both sides of the freezer, and with a little effort, she jumped out and stood on the ground.

Her face completely regained its color, her body became extremely light, her originally weak voice, and her sluggish spirit were all restored to health at this moment. This made Victor, who had learned a lot about this cancer by himself, doubt the knowledge in his mind again.

"I know you're surprised, but don't be surprised yet." Ma Zhaodi shook his head at this time: "Mrs. Nora's physical condition is not as good as expected. She has only regained her vitality, but not her health."

The system panel did not show that the odd job was completed, and the task was still shown as in progress. It seemed that "cancer" or "Mr. Freeze's wife's cancer" could not be simply completed by the Horn of Plenty or MC Milk.

"What should we do?" Victor grabbed Ma Zhaodi's hand, his eyes shining with a light he had never seen before. At this moment, he felt like he was reborn. "Anything is fine, whatever you want! I will definitely do it! No matter the cost!"

"Well, the price might be a little high."

Ma Zhaodi said this, walked to Noila Mo's front again, found the quick life recovery in the mall, and chose to use it.

[Tip: The target is quite special. You need to invest more points to quickly restore your life, otherwise it will not be completely healed.]

“How many asset points?”

【One Hundred Thousand Points】

Ma Zhaodi looked at his status bar. He had been working in the prison these days, and he was responsible for the prisoners' meals and supervision. Wayne was very generous. He paid him a total of 200,000 US dollars for these jobs, and his asset points were still around 260,000.

"I'll use it," he thought. "I hope the cold resistance boost is worth the price."
