Chapter 14: What Lin Meng Gave Was Actually the Holy Medicine

Inside the splendid hall, Ye Heng quietly observed everything here.

Everyone says inside and outside the wall are two worlds; if not seen with one's own eyes, one cannot imagine how great the difference between the two realms is.

Even a tiny corner here is inlaid with jewels.

These ornaments are worthless outside the wall, but inside the Special Zone they are objects of pleasure that can delight the upper class.

The owner's cats and dogs are all dressed in gold and silver, wearing small clothes made of fine cloth, and eating non-toxic chicken that the commoners outside the wall could never eat in a lifetime.

They have no worries about food and clothing, and can pursue things beyond mere survival.

But as a commoner, even a mosquito leg is worth more than gold.

"Are you the commoner who can provide medicine?"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the hall, and immediately Ye Heng felt a scrutinizing gaze, carrying a hint of coldness.

The Supreme Commander of the 13 Special Zone, Chen Yu, took the main seat, and did not let Ye Heng sit down.

Ye Heng stood straight in the center, neither humble nor arrogant, accepting the other's scrutiny.

Chen Yu's gaze was not friendly, but it was not as contemptuous as that of the warden.

Someone able to hold such a high position could not be an ordinary person.

He withdrew his gaze and casually said:

"Take out the medicine, I'll have the doctor test it."

"Don't worry, if this medicine is truly effective, I will keep my promise and let you leave safely."

Ye Heng, neither fawning nor refusing, handed over a vial of medicine to a worker in lab protective gear, then quietly waited in place.

Chen Yu thought for a moment and asked:

"Where did the medicine come from?"

Ye Heng: "I have nothing to say."

Thus, neither spoke further.

During the wait, Ye Heng used his mental power to examine the supplies Miss Lin had bought for him these past days, and found that a small wooden table had appeared in the space, with a cup of milky water on it.

He immediately recognized it as a cup of milk, since only the Special Zone has the conditions to raise cattle and sheep and produce their milk.

Such a rarity is considered a top-tier luxury even in the entire Wasteland Era.

Even inside the Special Zone, obtaining it requires paying a high price.

It is said that some people, to puff up their faces, mix a lot of water into the milk to pretend they can afford pure milk.

Ye Heng also noticed that the cup of milk was still steaming, but it was clearly placed there by Miss Lin before his abilities were sealed.

It seems Miss Lin successfully absorbed that crystal, granting the space an increase in slowed time flow.

As for how much the time flow inside the space is relative to the outside, it still needs observation and calculation to know.

Besides milk, the space also gained many pieces of paper money used by early humans to sacrifice their ancestors.

Has Miss Lin lost a relative? She has bought a lot of paper money these days.

Ye Heng couldn't help worrying that Miss Lin, having lost a close relative, must be in great pain, yet still has to spare attention for his affairs.

Miss Lin is still too kind-hearted; if she weren't dead, he would surely have to work even harder to earn money for her.

After a moment, a doctor hurried over, speaking urgently:

"The results are out: it's the long-lost Holy Medicine, Special Zone Chief. I don't know if the commoner who provided the medicine is still here."

Chen Yu had not held much hope, but being truly out of options, he had the warden bring the person in.

Upon hearing the result was effective, he suddenly jumped up in excitement and grabbed the doctor's collar.

"Are you sure you didn't mis-test? Is the medicine definitely effective?"

The doctor was even more excited than Chen Yu, still holding that spray, protecting it as if it were more important than his own life.

"Absolutely certain! Mr. Chen, your daughter's illness can be controlled; this Holy Medicine is definitely effective, but there is only one vial, and I still want to use it for research……"

That is why he is especially eager to meet that commoner and ask about the origin of the Holy Medicine.

Chen Yu quickly realized something, released the doctor, and turned his head to look at Ye Heng.

At this moment, his eyes were no longer cold, but instead held a touch of caution.

"Sir, may I ask how you should be addressed?"

Normally, even a commoner without authority would never think to ask a lowly commoner for his name.

In their eyes, commoners are equivalent to insignificant trash.

But now, the lofty Special Zone Chief has no choice but to set aside his status and be courteous to Ye Heng.

Ye Heng appeared calm on the surface, but inside he could not suppress his excitement.

Miss Lin actually gave him the Holy Medicine!

He said without changing his expression:

"I am Ye Heng, Special Zone Chief Chen. Since this medicine is genuine, can I be let go?"

Chen Yu quickly reached out to detain him, his tone and attitude much improved.

"Brother Ye, don't rush off; you provided the life-saving medicine for my daughter, so I naturally want to treat you well. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Ye Heng's eyes flashed; of course he would not refuse.

This opportunity, he could not refuse, and immediately said:

"I want a privilege allowing me to freely enter and exit the 13 Special Zone, permitting me to trade freely here."

Many commoners rack their brains trying to enter the Special Zone to trade.

Only inside the Special Zone can one access more and scarcer resources.

Chen Yu immediately agreed and gave him an identity magnetic card.

"Brother Ye, if you encounter difficulties in the future, you can come find me. Now, can you tell me where you obtained this Holy Medicine?"

Ye Heng naturally understood the other's purpose, but he would absolutely not reveal his biggest secret.

Then he again took out a second dose of medicine from his pocket—actually from his space—and said:

"This medicine I obtained by chance; its source is inconvenient to say, and I swear to heaven that besides me, no one can find it."

"I only have two doses on hand now; obtaining them cost me dearly, and I cannot get any more in the short term."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yu was instantly shocked.

According to Ye Heng, can he still get more of this medicine?

Hearing that, the doctor quickly gave Chen Yu a covert glance; Chen Yu understood and suddenly smiled, saying:

"So that's how it is, Brother Ye; it seems my daughter's illness will still have to rely on you. If there's a chance to obtain this holy medicine again next time, please be sure to sell it to me."

Ye Heng then struggled with Chen Yu for a moment, after which he was released.

After he left, the doctor immediately became excited.

"Lord Chen, you must keep a close watch on this person; the holy medicine is rare, and it is indeed the best medicine for controlling your daughter's condition. I still lack confidence to produce it myself, so I must continue to rely on him for supply."

Chen Yu naturally also knew that his daughter's illness was indeed hard to cure, and could only be controlled with special medicine.

That Ye Heng obviously wasn't telling the truth just now, but there was nothing he could do about it.

This Fe Tu Shi Jie is extremely strange, and also contains various supernatural abilities that have not yet been fully understood.

Even if this holy medicine is related to Ye Heng's supernatural ability, threatening him with his life would be useless.

The abilities and spaces of the Awakened are extremely personal; once the owner dies, the abilities and spaces can never be restored……
