The Symptoms Are Hard to Diagnose
When people are in deep sleep, they can hardly perceive the passage of time. Zhang Xuezhou only felt that when he closed his eyes and opened them again, the sky was completely different.
The large truck was bumping along, followed by another heavy truck and a pickup truck.
The truck was packed with people, and the truck was packed with mosasaurs. There were also hyenas, long-tailed macaques, and wild boars that hadn't died yet, sitting obediently in the cargo bed behind the pickup truck.
All three teams appeared extremely subdued.
Zhang Xuezhou's team was naturally unhappy due to the injuries they had suffered. As for Baili Huai'an and Montes Arthur's team, although they survived, being prisoners was certainly not something to be happy about.
Such clashes between teams are not uncommon in Qinmeng, but it is quite rare for a novice team to defeat two other teams.
This is not just the pain of losing wealth and freedom, but also a kind of mental torment, making one feel frustrated about why they lost so badly.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch... Hello everyone!"
It wasn't until Zhang Xuezhou woke up, swayed as he stood up, and kept shaking his head that everyone turned their attention to him.
"See, I told you he was fine; he's perfectly sane..."
"Ugh, my head hurts!"
"Linna!"
Zhang Xuezhou had barely uttered a few words when he felt a sharp pain in his left ear.
He hadn't even seen the medical staff member named Linna when he felt a slight pain accompanied by a sense of comfort and changes in his brain.
This made him sway his body, point at several people with his finger, and then lie down again.
"Is your medicine going to work?" Wang Haoran asked.
"Normally, if I give him one injection, he should be about 80% better, and one more dose of X432 would be enough for a full recovery," Montes Arthur said. "Now that he's had two injections, there shouldn't be any lingering effects from the deterrent effect when he wakes up again."
You said it!
"I said it, I promise!"
Montes Arthur nodded sullenly.
Even he couldn't help but want to curse.
This is his life-saving medicine; if he encounters any special beasts or Ferocious Beast in Qinmeng, this is his confidence to continue fighting.
However, encountering a team with malicious intentions also gives him the confidence to unleash his full potential.
But his two guaranteed wins were gone just like that.
This is not just a loss of money, but also a loss of confidence.
As the latest gene-enhancing drug, this is not something he can simply obtain at will; it requires not only a quota but also a price to pay.
Without a doubt, he suffered a significant loss on this trip to Qinmeng.
Even now, he still faces suspicion, is not completely out of danger, and was tied up for a day and a night.
"What if he's particularly fragile and still needs continued treatment?" Ren Anran asked.
"To put it simply, as long as he feels something after the first dose, it means the drug is working effectively, and the second dose will definitely finish him off," Montes Arthur said. "This is the result of dozens of tests we've conducted, and there has never been a problem!"
"Have you tried it with people from the First Sequence?" Ren Anran asked.
"He couldn't possibly be First Sequence, could he?" Montes Arthur asked, a chill running down his spine. "His marksmanship is excellent, and his Gene Weapon are quite unique..."
"How strong do you think the participants in the Sequencing Grand Gathering will be a year from now?" Ren Anran asked.
"But... but the First Sequence shouldn't be able to withstand my impact even for a moment," Montes Arthur said.
"Therefore, his symptoms are difficult to diagnose. It's not as simple as you saying that one dose can cure 80% of the disease, or two doses can completely cure it," Ren Anran said.
"We can go to a medical facility for testing," Montes Arthur said.
"Okay, I agree, but I only trust the medical institutions in Western Capital City!"
Ren Anran's addition silenced Montes Arthur.
If he needs to go to Western Capital City for testing, he will definitely need to go with him.
Going there was easy, but coming back was not.
Like those researchers who go abroad for exchange programs, the cost of returning home would be very high.
This will inevitably cause Ren Anran and his group a great disaster, but for him, it is far more troublesome than disaster.
Montes Arthur took a deep breath and then fell silent, pondering what price he would have to pay to settle this matter.
His gaze swept over the equally bound Shangge Namesi, Batia, and Adrian, then over the dejected medical staff member Linna. Montes Arthur felt that everything was absolutely terrible.
He has no chance of turning the tide with a medically skilled support staff member.
Of course, joining forces with Baili Huai'an, who was also under control, was useless.
Although Baili Huai'an was not bound, Rongge'er Pidan, Wusulimu, and Baili Taohong were disarmed and caught between Ren Wuyang and others, with Wang Haoran guarding them. A counterattack would bring consequences that no one could bear.
Moreover, Baili Huai'an chatted happily with Ren Anran and the others, and there was not much embarrassment on his face.
"Cookies, cookies, all you ever talk about is cookies!"
Although they couldn't join forces, Montes Arthur overheard Baili Huai'an's conversation and found the topics they were discussing to be extremely dull and boring.
But when Linna, a medical worker who was able to move freely, whispered a few words in his ear, Montes Arthur was quite surprised.
"Even the pigs are eating biscuits?"
"Yes, the pigs, monkeys, and hyenas all eat the Scarlet Alliance State's biscuits, but that tied-up deer doesn't, and neither does the tied-up mosasaur!"
I feel like I'm being compared to someone!
Montes Arthur looked at the bound people, then at those who weren't bound, and felt that the treatment of the beasts and humans was very similar.
"It's not a comparison. They said that deer had eaten biscuits before, and then you damaged its brain, and now they want you to pay them compensation!"
"You're also demanding compensation from me for the deer?"
I think so!
"But I didn't kill the deer; it was only slightly affected by my intimidation?"
"They say the deer's brain was damaged, and they're still studying that deer, trying to compare its symptoms with this guy's. Our troubles aren't going to end anytime soon!"
"If you put it that way, I really want to escape from prison!"
"I can't help you escape; I'm only in the Third Sequence!"
"Could we do that tonight...?"
"They tie me up before they go to sleep!"
Montes Arthur eventually abandoned all his scheming schemes.
"I'm clearly the victim here. My Mosasaurus was stolen, my men were attacked, and all I did was retaliate. How did I become the one at fault, and now I have to pay compensation? This kind of compensation is truly heartbreaking..."
Montes Arthur preferred to give Zhang Xuezhou ten X432 medical treatments rather than use his own gene serum again and again.
However, Qinmeng could not possibly have X432 medical resources, and these people would not go to his territory.
"It's a good thing you had the X864 Drug, otherwise we would definitely have been kidnapped and taken to Western Capital City," Linna whispered.
"If you put it that way, I'll feel a little better!"
If Montes Arthur were politely invited onto a cargo ship and then diverted to the Scarlet Alliance State, that would be the worst possible outcome for Montes Arthur.
Linna is right.
Fortunately, there was this gene serum with the code X864, which at least saved him from the most troublesome outcome.
Montes Arthur felt a chill run down his spine whenever he thought of his strict father.
The former can solve the problem with time and resources, while the latter would mean either being exiled to Western Capital City or being stripped of many of his rights after returning to the Aomeijia Alliance, thus losing everything.
"Cure him, completely cure him, even if it means using up all the secret medicine I've prepared. Even if he's an idiot, you must restore him to a smart idiot. Don't let them notice anything wrong with him in a short time. Finish everything before we enter the port, and then we'll leave quickly!"
He took a deep breath and finally solemnly instructed Linna, who was in charge of medical matters, to complete this task at all costs.
