Chapter 129 Qimingzhou: The Old Man
He Wandeng was Mr. He whom he saw next to Wu Zhen's hospital bed.

He Lao was ten years older than the oldest person in her impression.

He was sitting by the hospital bed, wearing reading glasses to read the documents. After reading the documents for a while, he asked the healing man who was watching by: "Is there any improvement?"

The healer shook his head silently every time he responded.

He Wandeng knocked on the door.

Mr. He seemed to have been greeted in advance. He put down the documents, refused to be supported and followed by others, and walked outside tremblingly.

He saw He Wandeng who was wrapped so tightly that only his eyes were exposed, and said, "Little classmate, let's go, let's talk in the next room."

He Wandeng followed him into the empty room next to him.

After closing the door, Mr. He said, "There is no monitoring and listening equipment in this room, and the highest level of ability shielding device is installed. You don't have to worry about someone finding you."

He Wandeng's nose suddenly became sore, and Mr. He seemed to have always maintained this kind of protective attitude towards her.

"How are you doing outside? Did you suffer any injuries? Are the crystal nuclei enough?"

After He asked these three questions with a gentle face, he coughed heartbreakingly, and a smear of red appeared on the tissue he used to cover his mouth and nose.

"Old He!"

He Wandeng raised his voice in shock.

"Well," Mr. He's cough finally stopped. He wiped the blood from his mouth with a tissue and said, "Did it scare you?"

He Wandeng shook her head, and she asked, "You are in such poor health, didn't you let someone who can heal your abilities heal you?"

Mr. He took off his presbyopic glasses and wiped them, and said, "When people get old, there will always be problems with their bodies. They can't cure my illness."

"What disease?"

Mr. He paused and said, "Lung cancer is in the advanced stage."

Cancer, in the memory of He Wandeng's previous life, was the only disease that could not be cured by people with healing abilities.

She opened and closed her mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Mr. He put back his glasses and said, "It was late when it was found out. The scientific research institute has provided me with medicine, so I can last for a few more years."

He coughed a few more times, and said, "I don't know when Wu Zhen will wake up. He is in better health than me and is more suitable for managing the base."

He Wandeng spoke with difficulty: "I have the antidote, which can save him. Can you treat the disease with peace of mind in the future?"

"You said you have the medicine to save Wu Zhen?"

Mr. He's focus is on the first half of the sentence.

He Wandeng took out a piece of detoxifying herb that she took out from the box when she entered the space when she went to the bathroom earlier.

She said: "This kind of xenograft needs to be chewed and swallowed by the user to take effect. Can he wake up for a while now?"

Mr. He stared at the leaf tightly, and he stood up suddenly, causing the chair to make a loud noise on the ground.

He took the small leaf and asked tremblingly, "Is it really useful?"

Whether it is useful or not, you will know when you use it.

He Wandeng explained in advance: "This kind of xenoplantation is very rare, you..."

"I trust you will not harm him."

He Lao interrupted her.

Five minutes later, He Laoqing dismissed everyone in Wuzhen's ward, leaving only him and He Wandeng standing inside.

He said to Wu Zhen who was forcibly awakened by the healer: "Chew this leaf hard, chew it, what state does it get?"

He Lao turned his head and asked He Wandeng.

He Wandeng said: "Chew until you can't feel the hard thorn in your mouth before swallowing. Swallowing it early may cause harm to your body."

He Lao didn't give Wu Zhen time to react, so he stuffed Ye Zi into his mouth.

Wu Zhen twisted his expression in an instant, his cheeks kept agitating, and after a few minutes, he swallowed the leaves with widened eyes.

He Wandeng whispered in his ear: "You will have a very painful life in the future. After this period of time, the toxins in your body will be eliminated."

Wu Zhen's body was too weak, and when he was extremely sad, he only trembled, and his eyes widened to the point of tearing.

After an unknown amount of time, Wu Zhen's body and expression finally relaxed when the people outside the door couldn't help rushing in.

He looked at He Wandeng, tried his best to raise his hand, and said, "Thank you."

He Wandeng replied to him: "The grace of saving life cannot be offset by three words, get well soon, take over the burden of managing the base, and let Mr. He relax."

He Wandeng followed Mr. He back to the empty room next door, and asked the people waiting outside Wu Zhen's door to see his situation with their own eyes.

He Wandeng said: "Haven't you ever thought of asking Mei Qingdong to come back and help you share some work?"

When Mr. He was detoxifying Wu Zhen, he was still racing against time to read the documents.

"I sent someone to invite her, but she didn't want to come back."

Mr. He was silent for a while after saying this, and said, "Stop talking about that, you haven't answered the question I asked you earlier."

"I eat and drink well and live well outside. I haven't suffered any crimes, and the crystal core is enough."

"That's fine, that's fine."

He Lao said: "I heard that you built a base yourself, named Xinghai Base, how long can you stay this time?"

He Wandeng suddenly felt a little guilty in front of the old man. She explained: "My original intention of establishing the base was to protect myself in the last days."

Mr. He looked at her peacefully, and said: "At the beginning of the end of the world, some people always said that the future is a world where the strong will prevail, and I scoffed at these remarks at that time.

"However, with the improvement of the ability level of the ability user, I sometimes feel that that sentence may be right, but I was wrong.

"However, I still firmly believe that there is great strength in numbers, and unity can form a city, but the premise is that people can survive.

"Student He, you don't have to feel guilty towards me or the capital base for building a private base that belongs to you, you don't owe us anything, you are free.

"You see, the private bases outside have been established one after another, and the strength of those base leaders may not be as strong as yours, but the character of most of them is questionable.

"Student He, you are different from them, your base can save people, while their base can eat people.

"Student He, when you become stronger in the future, please lead the people in your base to rescue more survivors."

When He Wandeng returned to the resettlement area that Shen Feng had arranged for them, the words of Mr. He still echoed in his ears.

This old man, who never married and had no children, made it his lifelong mission to seek the happiness of the people. Until the end of his life, he was still worried about the living conditions of other people.

She couldn't refuse such an old man's request.

Moreover, the ultimate goal of what she is doing now to collect the orb of origin is precisely to preserve more survivors.

"what happened to you?"

Xie Yao saw that she didn't say a word after entering the room, worried that something bad happened to her.

He Wandeng told her: "Brother Yao, Mr. He has something wrong with his body. I don't know how long he can live."

Xie Yao's expression was blank for a moment, and his reaction was the same as He Wandeng's at that time: "Did He not find someone who can heal his abilities to heal him?"

He Wandeng recounted the conversation between her and He Lao at that time.

Xie Yao said sadly: "I know birth, old age, sickness and death are common things, but I never thought that Mr. He would be struggling so early."

She asked: "He Wandeng, is there any way you can save Mr. He?"

He Wandeng gave the answer in silence.
