Chen Ye had just stepped out of Wu Jianshan's office when he saw Chu Che approaching with a gloomy expression.
"Squad Leader Chu, you..."
Chu Che sneered coldly. "Didn't you say earlier that Squad Leader Wu only gave you four bottles?"
Chen Ye scratched his head awkwardly, changing the subject. "Are you planning to see Old Wu too?"
Chu Che ignored Chen Ye and pushed open the door to Classroom 1, Grade 4 directly.
When Chu Che emerged from the classroom, he let out a long sigh, as if trying to expel all the frustration pent up in his heart.
At this moment, Chu Che was holding three bottles of Death God Blood Tears in his arms.
He went to the second floor.
Most of the second and third floors were occupied by people from the convoy and the Death God Church.
Pushing open a classroom door on the second floor.
There weren't many people in this classroom. Several beds were placed against the corners of the classroom walls, with a table in the middle that had a thermos flask on it.
All the windows in the classroom were sealed shut with plastic sheets, bed sheets, and similar materials.
This made the entire classroom appear quite dim.
"Cough, cough..."
As soon as he pushed the door open, Chu Che heard coughing sounds.
"Squad Leader Chu, you're here!"
It was Xiao Wang, the convoy assistant, greeting him.
Chu Che nodded and walked over to a bed against the wall.
When the other survivors saw it was Chu Che, they all left the classroom one after another.
Now, besides Xiao Wang, Chu Che, and Old Bao lying sick on the bed, there was no one else in the classroom.
"A-Che, you've come..."
Old Bao lay on the bed, looking somewhat listless. His full head of grayish-white hair was scattered messily on the pillow. He seemed to want to sit up, but Chu Che pressed him back down.
Who would have thought that this Old Bao was only fifty years old!
If Chu Che didn't know Old Bao well, he would definitely think Old Bao was at least in his sixties.
Originally, Old Bao also had a very happy family.
And a three-year-old grandson.
In another twenty years, it wouldn't have been impossible for Old Bao to have four generations living together.
Unfortunately, when the apocalypse came, Old Bao witnessed his family members dying one by one before his eyes.
In an instant, he went from heaven to hell. Losing all his family members within just a few days caused Old Bao to turn white-haired from excessive grief and develop a hunched back.
His entire person also looked much older.
Perhaps because this blow damaged Old Bao's spirit.
After coming to Rong City, the extremely cold temperatures further worsened Old Bao's health condition.
After the battle between the Death God and the Abyssal Blood Pupil.
Old Bao finally fell ill.
They say illness strikes like a collapsing mountain, but recovery is like reeling silk from a cocoon.
Old Bao, who had been full of energy just a few days ago, was now lying in bed.
At first, Chu Che had given Old Bao diluted Death God Blood Tears to drink.
After drinking it, Old Bao showed some improvement.
But it only sustained him for one day before Old Bao's body collapsed again.
Seeing this situation, Chu Che went to find Wu Jianshan, and the two reached some kind of agreement, which was how he obtained the undiluted Death God Blood Tears from him.
This was also why Chen Ye saw Chu Che at the entrance of Classroom 1, Grade 4.
Chu Che had long understood that Old Bao's spirit had already broken. Once he fell down, it was very likely he would never get up again.
He hadn't expected this moment to come so soon.
The deaths of all his family members had dealt too heavy a blow to Old Bao.
Even the best medicine and the best doctors probably couldn't save Old Bao's life.
The undiluted Death God Blood Tears he obtained now would only extend his life by a few more days.
"Old Bao, just lie down, no need to get up!"
"Here... this is the blood tears I got from Squad Leader Wu, the undiluted kind! It might help your condition!"
Chu Che waved the small bottle in front of Old Bao's eyes.
A trace of guilt appeared on Old Bao's face.
"A-Che, you... did you promise Wu Jianshan something?"
"No, Old Bao, you're overthinking it!"
"Ah... A-Che, forget it, forget it. You're a superhuman, you must know what you're doing. I won't say more!"
"Okay, Old Bao, rest well. When you recover, I'll take you away from here!"
Chu Che dripped a drop of the crimson blood tears into Old Bao's mouth.
Old Bao's complexion looked much rosier, and after saying a few words, he fell into a deep sleep.
The smile on Chu Che's face also disappeared.
He understood very well that this drop of blood tears would only buy a little more time.
Perhaps Old Bao himself didn't want to survive.
The convoy assistant Xiao Wang, who had been watching all this from the side, remained silent, his eyes filled with sorrow.
In the convoy, Xiao Wang was like Old Bao's apprentice.
If not for Old Bao, Xiao Wang might have fallen behind and died long ago.
"Xiao Wang!"
Chu Che's voice snapped Xiao Wang out of his thoughts.
"Squad Leader Chu!"
Xiao Wang quickly responded.
"Go tell everyone that they can join the Death God Church!"
Xiao Wang abruptly looked up. "Squad Leader Chu, this..."
"Don't say more, just do as I said!"
Xiao Wang lowered his head and said gloomily, "Okay, Squad Leader Chu!"
...
After getting the eyeball, Chen Ye was about to return to Classroom 3, Grade 4.
But after thinking about it, he went directly to the rooftop of the teaching building.
After all, Classroom 3, Grade 4 wasn't occupied by him alone.
The rooftop of the teaching building was still covered in heavy snowfall.
With a wave of his hand, a square box composed of smoke appeared, and Chen Ye directly walked into the box.
Chen Ye didn't want anyone else to see what he was about to do next.
He couldn't wait to take out the eyeball for appraisal.
[Appraisal requires consumption of 1,500 Slaughter Points. Confirm appraisal?]
Seeing the 1,500 Slaughter Points, Chen Ye was slightly stunned.
After all, most of the previous appraisal quotes from the System hadn't exceeded one hundred points.
But now, suddenly there was a quote of 1,500 Slaughter Points.
This made Chen Ye both pleasantly surprised and somewhat confused.
"One thousand five hundred Slaughter Points, System, did you miscalculate?"
[According to the System's rules, Wonder Materials that can only craft Wonders ranked beyond 2,000 are considered scrap materials!]
[The System only symbolically charges a portion of Slaughter Points.]
[But that doesn't mean appraisal fees are cheap!]
[Materials that can craft Wonders ranked within the top 2,000 are the precious materials worth serious treatment.]
Chen Ye: "..."
This works too?
Although it was somewhat painful, Chen Ye still chose to confirm.
But thinking that he could use this eyeball to replace his left eye, Chen Ye still felt some anticipation.
The System quickly gave the result.
[Item Name: Abyssal Blood Pupil's Eyeball]
[Origin: This object is an eye left behind by the Abyssal Blood Pupil, one of the three major anomalies in Changwang District of Rong City.
This item retains some of the powerful abilities of the Abyssal Blood Pupil. If you find a high-level Wonder craftsman, you can even maximize the power contained within this eye.
When the Abyssal Blood Pupil was fighting the Death God, some of its abilities were even suppressed and not fully released.
Even the Abyssal Blood Pupil at its peak couldn't oppose the Death God, but it definitely wouldn't have been defeated so easily!]
[Suggestion: This Wonder Material is a rare and precious material. If used properly, it can even craft a Wonder ranked within the top 1,000, or possibly even higher. Of course, it may also produce serious side effects. Please handle with caution!!!]
[Comment: If someone wants to use it to replace their gradually failing left eye, they need to be extremely careful!!!]
Within the top 1,000?
Chen Ye was ecstatic!
So far, aside from the Sky Whale.
Chen Ye hadn't heard of any Wonders ranked within the top 1,000.
Even Wonder Materials, he hadn't seen any.
Compared to the Abyssal Blood Pupil's eyeball, the previous Flayed Ghost's Scalp and Human-Faced Scorpion's Face Skin could only be considered garbage materials.
But how should this eyeball replace his left eye?
Should he gouge out his left eye and then stuff the Abyssal Blood Pupil's eyeball in?
Damn... isn't that too bloody?
"System, how should I use the Abyssal Blood Pupil's eyeball to replace my left eye?"
The familiar rotating circle appeared again.
[Option One: Pay the System 500,000 to upgrade and modify the Abyssal Blood Pupil's eyeball. After modification, the Blood Pupil will have automatic parasitic capabilities.]
Five hundred thousand?
Seeing this astronomical figure, Chen Ye was momentarily dumbfounded.
After calming down, Chen Ye tentatively asked: "Is there an Option Two?"
