Chapter 429: Chapter 427: Testing the Drug’s Efficacy

After Sun Yue relayed the situation back to the camp, the medical team, escorted by a large group of Supporters and three Demon Hunters, hurried to Wen Wen’s side.

The senior doctor, after carefully examining the reaction of the patient who had drunk the yellow soup, mobilized over two hundred Supporters who promptly began distributing the soup door to door with various containers.

Not knowing if the efficacy of the sea urchin would diminish over time, the Supporters worked quickly and had distributed the soup before dawn.

Fortunately, the infected were relatively rational at night, understanding that the Supporters were there to help them with medicine, which allowed for such swift action.

The sea urchin soup was very effective; those patients who were not severely infected were completely cured on the spot.

For the few who were particularly severe, the spines on their bodies reduced by more than half, and the deterioration stopped, allowing the medical team enough time to treat their conditions.

After an assessment, there were less than three hundred people still infected with sea urchin syndrome, while the rest were freed from the clutches of this terrifying disease.

The Supporters transported these three hundred patients to the mountain and set up a temporary medical center to treat the remaining patients specifically.

Previously, with thousands of patients, the Supporters were understaffed; but now, with only three hundred left, they could no longer let them roam around the town.

Looking at the remaining three hundred people, Wen Wen believed that if he contributed the remaining six pills, he could cure them all.

But Wen Wen, having already sacrificed eight panacea pills, had done enough; he needed to keep the last six for emergencies. He wasn’t heartless toward the suffering, but he also wouldn’t strip bare his own resources to help others.

Moreover, since their conditions had been stabilized, Wen Wen believed the medical team was capable of curing the rest. Wen Wen didn’t interfere anymore concerning these matters since these people were far more professional than him in this area.

He stayed at the Demon Hunter camp, and once the condition of these patients improved, he would leave the area.

The accommodation here was decent, but being temporary, it lacked a private toilet, which made Wen Wen somewhat uncomfortable; so, he made sure to secure the doors and windows before entering the Sanctuary.

With the six panacea pills in hand, Wen Wen found Weisu and displayed the pills to him.

"Are these the panacea pills remembered in your memory?"

Upon seeing the six small discs, Weisu immediately rushed to the front of the cell door, his eyes showing a desperate longing.

Right now, Weisu was still deeply resentful about his appearance; he’d do anything to escape the inhuman, monstrous façade he bore.

"Judging from your excited look, these must be real. Do you want them?"

"I do!" Weisu nodded quickly.

Wen Wen gave a devilish smile and said to Weisu, "Then you must pay an equivalent price!"

Next, Wen Wen interrogated Weisu again, focusing this time on matters related to Wu Wang. Wen Wen wanted everything in his mind concerning Wu Wang!

Wu Wang’s background, abilities, social connections, possessions—Wen Wen wanted to know it all!

After three hours, Wen Wen had emptied Weisu’s brain. Looking at the stack of information in his hand, Wen Wen felt somewhat regretful.

Weisu’s memory was fragmented, making it difficult to extract important information, but at least Wen Wen now knew Wu Wang was an exceedingly wealthy superpower user!

He possessed at least a dozen practical Containment Items, not to mention countless other bizarre and unique objects!

Compared to him, Wen Wen seemed somewhat poor, and if he could rob him...

Just imagining that scene felt wonderful, but he quickly curbed his greed. The man was being pursued by Oye Water City, and Wen Wen did not want to invite trouble.

After obtaining all the information, Wen Wen implanted a chain in Weisu’s body, and from then on, Weisu would always be at the mercy of Wen Wen’s demonic claws, never to rise again.

This was the first time Wen Wen had implanted a chain in a human. It felt no different from implanting it in a monster and made Weisu more convenient for executing certain tasks due to his human identity.

After temporarily draining his value, Wen Wen took out a panacea tablet and threw it to Weisu.

Once Weisu received it, he immediately swallowed it. About thirty seconds later, his face began to change dramatically, and he started scratching his body, as if enduring unbearable pain.

"The drug will take effect in about thirty seconds, and there will be severe pain while taking it."

Wen Wen noted down the entire process of Weisu taking the tablet, familiarizing himself with it, so there would be no unnecessary trouble in the future when taking the tablet.

Giving Weisu the drug was not out of charity but mainly to test the drug’s effectiveness.

This tablet and the mixture with the Golden Sea Urchin could treat the villagers, but that might be the effect of the Sea Urchin Soup, or perhaps the combined effect of the tablet and the sea urchin. This did not fully prove it was a panacea.

Wen Wen would not randomly stuff his mouth with something whose details he did not know, so he needed to test it on Weisu.

Weisu’s pain lasted a few minutes, and the black epidermis on his body began to rapidly regress to normal skin, and his appearance also became clearer. Wen Wen compared it against the identity photo on the Ranger Terminal to confirm that this was indeed Weisu.

However, when Weisu was all black, he did not need to wear clothes, so now...

Wen Wen politely turned around and ordered a prison guard to bring Weisu a set of clothes. There’s really nothing to shy away from with a man’s body, but Weisu’s appearance was somewhat harsh to the eyes.

Even as a superpower user, constantly playing games without exercising could turn one into an overweight geek, and since becoming black, he had accumulated quite a bit of dirt from tumbling and scraping.

All these grimy residues were invisible under that black skin, but once he returned to normal... Well, Wen Wen could not bear to look.

Since Weisu was successful, it proved that the five remaining tablets Wen Wen had were indeed panaceas that could cure any disease and could solve five major problems for Wen Wen.

He suddenly felt a pang for the eight tablets thrown into the sea urchin. If he had a total of thirteen now, how great would that be...

But Wen Wen just felt a tinge of regret and did not regret it at all. Since it was used for saving lives, it was not wasted.

Just as he was about to put the tablets into a medicine bottle, Wen Wen stared at the small tablets in his hand, suddenly lost in thought, feeling an urge to take the medicine!

"Where is this desire coming from, as if my body really needs this tablet..."

Though the temptation was not strong, it bothered Wen Wen greatly, so he called over a few prison guards and displayed the tablets in front of them.

Wen Wen did not tell them what it was, wanting to see their reactions to the tablets.

Prison guards with scars or diseases showed a desire to take the medicine, while those with healthy bodies had no reaction to it.

"Does this mean there is something wrong with my body that I don’t know about?"
