Her heart was filled with emotions, could it be that what he just gave her was truly a medicine that can cure the Ramanra Virus?
The most shocking part was that the seemingly ordinary black pill was actually able to cure the Ramanra Virus!
As a doctor, she was well aware of the fearsome nature of this virus, and countless medical researchers had failed to develop a cure over the years.
Yet this Huaxia individual managed to concoct such a miraculous pill with just a few herbs!
"The pill you gave me can really cure the Ramanra?" Rachel asked incredulously.
Lin Beichen glanced at her and said flatly, "What else could it be? What did you think it was?"
He really couldn’t understand what was going on in this woman’s head.
Rachel felt a wave of shame wash over her; she had indeed misunderstood him just now.
She quickly apologized to Lin Beichen and expressed her gratitude: "I’m sorry, I misunderstood you earlier. Thank you for saving me."
Lin Beichen shook his head at her apologetic expression, not bothering to argue with her.
"Alright, alright, if you can move then hurry up and leave. I still need to get to the Chinese-Owned Factory."
They had already wasted a lot of time and must reach their destination as quickly as possible.
Rachel nodded in agreement, slowly standing up with the support of the wall.
"By the way, I still don’t know your name?" She suddenly realized this important detail.
They had gone through so many dangerous moments together, yet she didn’t even know his name!
"Lin Beichen." He replied indifferently, then headed straight for the cave exit.
Rachel followed closely and said, "My name is Rachel. You saved my life, and I will repay you in the future."
She said with determination.
Lin Beichen glanced back at her, smiling wryly, "Repay me? Just don’t cause me trouble or delay me from reaching the Chinese-Owned Factory, and we’ll be even."
With that, he continued to walk forward.
Rachel felt momentarily speechless, unable to respond.
But realizing that she indeed had delayed him, she refrained from saying anything further, quickly catching up to Lin Beichen’s pace.
When they exited the cave, it was already evening.
The sky was painted with brilliant sunsets, casting a radiant glow through the thin layer of clouds, breathtakingly beautiful.
"What a beautiful sunset!" Rachel marvelled.
Rachel softly praised, yet this sunset was different from usual, with only a single red light illuminating the horizon, unusually close to them.
Lin Beichen gazed at the "sunset" in the sky, then glanced at the time, furrowing his brows.
It was not yet four o’clock, and the sun in Masure typically sets after seven in the evening.
A sunset at this time was clearly unusual!
Lin Beichen pondered for a moment, and a thought crossed his mind.
He recalled reading in the Daoist alchemy texts that alchemy could produce pill qi.
The higher the alchemy master’s cultivation level, the more potent the elixir, and the denser the pill qi produced.
When he first refined the Body Refining Pill, it only released a fleeting white pill qi.
Now, with his improved Daoist Art and the potent elixir he had crafted, it generated such a vibrant and lasting red pill qi.
Realizing this, Lin Beichen’s heart suddenly tightened, exclaiming internally that this was not good!
He urgently turned to Rachel, saying, "Quick, we must leave immediately!"
Rachel, bewildered by his urgent tone, asked, "What’s happening? Why the rush?"
"No time to explain, just go!"
Lin Beichen looked grave and quickly moved towards the nearby motorcycle.
Although unsure what was happening, Rachel still followed closely.
Just as they were about to ride the motorcycle away, the roar of engines suddenly surrounded them, drawing closer at a rapid pace.
Lin Beichen thought to himself that things were bad; it might already be too late to escape.
From the sounds, there were many approaching, and he needed to think quickly.
His mind raced, then he swiftly opened the System Store and purchased a large amount of cinnabar.
Next, he took out a blank talisman, quickly drew a spell with the cinnabar, and tucked it into his pocket.
He handed the cinnabar to Rachel, "Take this, and when the time comes, just keep scattering this cinnabar, don’t worry about anything else, understand?"
Rachel, filled with curiosity, asked, "Why? And how did you suddenly have so much stuff?"
Lin Beichen had no time to explain, hurriedly saying, "Just do as I say, there’s no time to explain now!"
With that, he started the motorcycle and sped off.
Seeing the "sunset" in the sky, he had a bad premonition.
Because it wasn’t a sunset at all, but rather the pill qi generated during his alchemy.
While refining pills in the cave, they hadn’t noticed the anomaly outside.
But those outside would be curious upon seeing this sight, and it was likely that someone would come to investigate.
And the mercenaries and Red Scarf Army pursuing them would very likely also come to check it out.
Just as Lin Beichen expected, a large number of people were rushing towards them.
In Masure, no one but the Red Scarf Army and mercenaries would mobilize such a force.
In a moment of desperation, Lin Beichen had a brilliant idea, hoping to use it to trap their pursuers.
Sitting behind him, Rachel remained puzzled, completely unaware of Lin Beichen’s intentions.
Yet, hearing the vehicles approaching nearer and nearer, she knew things were looking bad.
So, she suppressed her doubts and followed Lin Beichen’s instructions, scattering the cinnabar diligently along the way.
During this, she couldn’t resist glancing back to see that their pursuers were indeed the Red Scarf Army and the mercenaries who had been chasing them earlier.
...
"General Ao Du, look, it’s those two people up ahead!"
