Chapter 60
The Angel had a gun casually in his hand; he could easily have shot them dead in one shot.
In Lungmen, the Infected die have no rights whatsoever.
The corpse will only slowly erode and rot within the Originium.
After a brief commotion, a gaunt young boy finally emerged.
"Please help me, doctor," he said desperately, having already decided to try anything.
He lifted his shirt, revealing a cluster of Originium that had pierced his skin on his abdomen.
Can he really be saved?
It's beyond saving at this point!
Looking at him, everyone had the same question in their minds.
Chapter Sixteen: The Mysterious Electricity Thief [9 Updates]
Xiao Huasheng saw that the tissue surrounding the crystals was necrotic and had an unhealthy purple hue.
The Quack Doctor held the gemstone in his left hand.
The Quack Doctor's right hand was suspended above the wound.
"Yes, your condition is very critical. You need to drink this."
He took out a vial of medicine and waved it in front of the boy.
Ignoring the whispers around him, he didn't even think before gulping it down.
Only then did the Quack Doctor slowly place his hand on his stomach.
Then, something incredible happened.
The Originium crystals in the boy's abdomen began to decompose, melting like snow under the sun, but this also revealed the hollow flesh and blood.
These voids remain deadly.
But with the help of the medication, the necrotic tissue regained its color at a visible speed, and tender new flesh grew at the edges of the wound.
These potions, imbued with the inexplicable abilities of Quack Doctor, can, with prolonged use, cure Originium Disease and promote the growth of new flesh, even when used alone.
With the help of Quack Doctor, they can even perform what it means to be fully recovered.
"Ah! Ah! I'm all better! I'm all better?!"
The boy said in disbelief, his eyes wide, patting his stomach in disbelief.
At this time.
The gemstone gleamed slightly, indicating that energy had entered it.
Everyone witnessed this scene.
The entire process took no more than ten seconds, yet it plunged everything around into a deathly silence.
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The Infected jostled and pushed forward, their eyes gleaming with hope.
Xiao Huasheng had to stand by and maintain order.
This is way too crazy!
The crowd surged forward like a tide, the Infected pushing and shoving, crying out, their outstretched arms trembling like withered branches.
"Doctor! Help me!" A hunched-over middle-aged man squeezed to the front, coughing violently, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.
Crystalline protrusions were faintly visible on his chest, and each breath felt like a knife cutting into him.
049 simply nodded calmly and handed him a vial of medicine.
Learning from the example of the young man.
Without any hesitation.
The man tilted his head back and drank it down; the next second, the Quack Doctor's hand returned to his chest.
Those hideous crystals quickly dissolved under the skin, and the necrotic tissue regained its vitality.
The man took a deep breath, like a drowning person finally surfacing, and tears welled up instantly.
"I can... I can breathe normally now?" He trembled as he touched his chest, then suddenly knelt down and kowtowed heavily. "Thank you! Thank you! I... I don't have to wait to die...! Hahaha!"
His cries, mingled with other cries, seemed to open a floodgate, and more the Infected surged forward frantically.
"Let me go first! I can't move my leg!" A young girl with Feline dragged her semi-crystallized right leg and stumbled towards the Quack Doctor.
049 silently provided the medicine.
She quickly took it and popped it in one bite.
As the medicine went down her throat, 049 gently placed his hand on her knee.
The crystals melted away like ice and snow, the atrophied muscles were replenished, and the pale skin regained its color.
The girl stood up blankly, tentatively took one step, then another, and then suddenly jumped up.
"I can walk! I can run!" She spun around in ecstasy, tears streaming down her face, then turned and hugged Xiao Huasheng tightly. "Thank you! Thank you!"
Xiao Huasheng stumbled from the bump, and before he could react, the girl had already let go of his hand, laughing loudly as she rushed out of the crowd, as if she wanted to run all over Lungmen in one breath.
"Next." 049's voice remained steady.
For him, the miracle before his eyes was just ordinary.
Seeing the patients recover brought him peace.
This place is rife with disease, but he wants to transform it into paradise, a paradise free from illness.
He firmly believed this.
Xiao Huasheng held the Quack Doctor's hand, absorbing energy from the gem in his hand, while Angela inside his body was creating the raw materials for his medicine.
Quack Doctor, on the other hand, would treat patients while simultaneously preparing medicine using raw materials in their spare time.
Both of them are quite busy.
One after another, the Infected swarmed forward.
Some people lifted their clothes to reveal backs covered in crystals, some removed their masks to reveal half-petrified faces, and some even squeezed to the front while carrying a dying child.
"Please... save my daughter..." A mother knelt on the ground, the little girl in her arms with her eyes tightly closed, the Originium already spreading from her neck to her cheeks. 049 didn't say much, but simply dripped the potion into the child's mouth and gently touched her forehead with his finger.
The little girl suddenly opened her eyes.
"Mom... it doesn't hurt anymore..." she said softly, reaching out to touch her mother's face.
The mother instantly broke down in tears, hugging her child tightly and repeatedly saying "thank you" incoherently.
More and more people are recovering, and the sounds of crying, laughter, and shouts blend together.
Some people knelt on the ground and wept bitterly, some laughed loudly, and others took off their coats to cover their newly healed wounds before hurriedly leaving.
They were eager to go home and tell their families that they were no longer the Infected.
Call in more the Infected to come here and be cured.
The gem shimmered in 049's hand, and energy flowed into it like a trickle.
"Don't push! Line up! Everyone can get treatment!" she shouted, raising her voice, but she couldn't calm the crowd's excitement.
Some people even started stuffing things into Quack Doctor.
Wrinkled Lungmen Credits, hand-woven amulets, even half a loaf of bread.
049 simply shook his head and pushed the things back. "No payment needed."
He simply emphasized, "Stand still and don't knock over my medicine."
With Xiao Huasheng's presence as a deterrent, no one dared to steal the medicine.
The commotion in the alley grew louder and louder, and even residents in the distance started to peek out.
Several furtive figures lurked in the corner, watching the scene intently.
Is he a spy for Reunion Movement? Or an informant for the Lungmen Guard Department?
Xiao Huasheng squinted, but she had no time to care at the moment.
Energy is crucial.
Another miracle has occurred.
"Doctor! My eyes! I can't see!" An old man groped forward, his eye sockets embedded with hideous Originium.
049 helped him up.
"It will sting a little," he whispered, his fingers resting on the old man's eyelids.
The Originium has been eliminated.
In an instant, my eye sockets felt empty, as if most of my bones had been assimilated.
But 049 forced a mouthful of medicine down his throat.
Flesh begets flesh, bone begets bone, in an instant.
A healthy eyeball capable of seeing grew out along with the surrounding bone.
"Miracle doctor, miracle doctor!!" he murmured blankly, tears rolling down his cloudy eyes.
He reached out his trembling hand as if to grasp something, but in the end he only covered his face and squatted on the ground, wailing loudly.
The crowd gradually quieted down, and everyone looked at him as if they saw their own reflection.
At this moment, they were no longer the Infected.
They're finally going to survive!
The frenzy here continues to spread; almost half the Infected in the neighborhood know about the situation.
From initial skepticism to witnessing a miracle firsthand, they immediately went mad.
The situation here has also attracted more attention.

Chapter Seventeen: Nice tail, I'll pet it! [10 updates]
The commotion at the alley entrance drew even more attention.
On the outskirts of the crowd, a small, thin figure wearing a hood was standing on tiptoe, peering out.
Misha gripped the hem of her clothes tightly, the Originium crystals faintly visible on her body.
"Can it really... cure me?" she murmured to herself, a glimmer of hope flashing in her gray-blue eyes, but then dimming again.
Pursuers from the Reunion Movement and the Lungmen Guard Department's manhunt made her hesitant to expose herself in public.
Just then, Xiao Huasheng grabbed her.
"Don't run! They've all been healed! Come quick!"
The insane energy inflow from Lobotomy Corporation gave her the feeling of having an unlimited energy cheat.
Xiao Huasheng smiled.
The Quack Doctor couldn't help but stifle a laugh.
Angela burst out laughing.
The three people from Lobotomy Corporation simultaneously revealed intense smiles.
From this moment forward, any the Infected will be brought to justice!
Cured them all, not one of them will escape!
For some inexplicable reason, Misha seemed to see a greedy red light gleaming in Xiao Huasheng's eyes.
"Wait, wait! I'm not—" Misha struggled in panic, her hood slipping down to reveal her signature gray hair and animal ears.
"What are you hiding for, the Infected?" Xiao Huasheng grabbed her and dragged her towards the treatment center without saying another word. "No one is getting treatment today!"
Misha was pulled so hard she stumbled, and the recovered the Infected around her automatically made way for her.
To her horror, she discovered that several members of the Reunion Movement were mixed in with the crowd, all staring at her with wide eyes.
