Chapter 98 Getting Pneumonia! (Bonus Chapter for Recommended Tickets)

The doctor had seen the woman treated with utmost respect by his superior's superior, so he dared not be negligent. He immediately replied:

"The patient's body is very strange, as if it has absolutely no immunity. Once bacteria enter his body, they spread immediately. In my thirty-seven years of practice, this is the first time I've seen pneumonia spread so quickly at the onset. If the relevant tests didn't show that everything else about him was normal, I would really suspect he was an AIDS patient in the late stages."

Zi was silent for a moment before saying:

"So... is his life in danger?"

The doctor hesitated for a moment, but still said with certainty:

"Yes! Everything we're doing now is to delay the deterioration of his illness as much as possible—please note, only delay, there's no indication that he's getting better. If this continues, it's like a person about to fall into an abyss, and there will always be a time when they cross that critical line. However... the good news is, it seems he's still some time away from that point of no return."

Fang Senyan was drenched in sweat. He felt as if a dozen or so files were sawing back and forth inside his chest. The violent coughing even made him vomit, and then the Nightmare Imprint sent a prompt:

"A virus has detected pneumococcus entering the host's body."

"A virus has begun to enter the phagocytosis, replication, and improvement mechanism has been activated."

"Because the A virus is trying to devour, replicate, and improve in the direction of the contractor after the data body, so in the process, the pneumococcus in your body will be enhanced to a certain extent, and the symptoms reflected on you will be more intense and serious."

"The A virus has begun to inject catalytic code into the pneumococcus. It is expected that within thirty minutes, the host's disease symptoms will reach their peak. This period is the most critical time, and it is also the time when the host's life is most threatened. This period will last for eight hundred minutes..."

"Data disorder, data error, recalculating."

"Your talent barrier takes effect, and all abnormal states on you will be weakened by 25%."

"The peak period of your disease symptoms will last for six hundred minutes. During this stage, you may be in danger, so please take all kinds of emergency measures!"

"............"

In the next six hundred minutes, Fang Senyan didn't make any sound. He showed amazing willpower, only tearing up seven bed sheets and quilts because he gripped his hands too hard. Zi also didn't rest, silently staying by his side.

During this time, Mogansha and Jiao Shi returned to the real world and called Fang Senyan. When they heard Zi answering the phone, even the honest Jiao Shi couldn't help but show a very wretched expression... Fang Senyan, in such a situation, actually gritted his teeth and answered the phone. Such a strong willpower was definitely not innate, but was forged by the extremely difficult experience in the Nightmare Space!

Finally, Fang Senyan's torment ended. Once the A virus completed replication, the powerful data body immediately cleared the viruses that wanted to continue wreaking havoc. Fang Senyan suddenly sat up from the bed, let out a long breath, and felt extremely relaxed!

"A virus replication successful!"

"You have successfully activated the third-tier branch ability: Ordinary Pneumonia!"

"Third-tier branch disease: Ordinary Pneumonia lv2 (Dawn Elf's Light +1)."

"This ability can only affect enemies who already have bronchitis disease effects. Affects the same range as the first-tier ability: Influenza."

"When an enemy who already has the bronchitis disease effect is affected by pneumonia, the onset cycle is forty seconds."

"Effect: Greatly enhances various symptoms."

"The sneezing effect has been evolved into: Intermittent chest pain, giving the enemy a certain chance of severe chest pain for three seconds, during which movement speed is reduced by 80%, unable to attack, and taking fifty points of damage within three seconds."

"The chills effect has been evolved into: High fever, causing the enemy to continue to have a high fever, and doubling the mental strength consumption when releasing any ability."

"The headache effect has been evolved into: Hallucination, giving the enemy a certain chance of hallucination, the next attack will inevitably be lost."

"Violent cough has been strengthened: The enemy coughs violently during this period, unable to move, attack, or cast spells, lasting for 3 seconds (increased from 2 seconds), whenever a violent cough occurs, it will cause fifty points of damage to the enemy within three seconds. (Originally one hundred and fifty points of damage within fifteen seconds after three violent coughs.)"

"New effect of violent cough: When the enemy coughs violently, there is a certain chance of coughing up phlegm. The phlegm with peculiar smell and a large number of viruses will cause one hundred points of damage to the surrounding enemies in an instant, and reduce their evasion rate by 3%."

"This branch ability can coexist with some virus-like branch abilities."

"Please quickly invest merits to strengthen this branch ability in order to open up more advanced talent skill trees!"

Fang Senyan was accumulating merits at this time, preparing to be promoted to lieutenant colonel, so after looking at the ability of pneumonia, he was still relatively satisfied, and did not spend merits to improve it. He could almost foresee that the next level should be the ultimate ability of this talent tree: **Atypical Pneumonia!** Once Atypical Pneumonia appeared, it would inevitably bring earth-shaking changes to the previous abilities. To be honest, Fang Senyan

Yan's expectations for this ability were higher at this time.

The doctors were dumbfounded when they looked at Fang Senyan. Five minutes ago, he was struggling on the bed, half-dead from the illness, but now he jumped off the bed with agility and deftly changed into his own clothes.

The nurse who was closest to him stopped Fang Senyan with a strong sense of professional ethics, stuttering in horror:

"Sir, based on your health..."

Fang Senyan politely but firmly moved her hand away and smiled:

"I'm fine, thank you."

The nurse could only look at the attending doctor with a pleading look, but Fang Senyan seemed to know what they were thinking and smiled:

"I can't be a test subject, don't have that idea. Zi, I need you to take me out for a good meal, and then we can sit down and discuss the board meeting next Monday."

Zi, who had her arms folded in front of her chest, hesitated for a moment:

"Board meeting... do you have any good ideas?"

Fang Senyan picked up a bag of biscuits next to him and ate them in large bites, walking out with her, until he entered the car and started the engine, then he said:

"I don't believe you don't know that method, it's just that you didn't plan to do it."

Zi glanced at Fang Senyan, but didn't speak.

Fang Senyan persuaded:

"I know the hesitation in your heart, but can you really give up a life of doing nothing now that you've adapted to wielding great power?"

These words immediately struck Zi's heart. She suddenly raised her head and looked at Fang Senyan:

"What do you mean?"

Fang Senyan smiled, swallowed the last piece of biscuit:

"I don't like it when others steal my car and force me to take a taxi. What's the name of that bald director? I suggest we visit him first."

"Sir Balaggan." Zi said lightly: "He's not an easy guy to deal with, and more importantly, he's very careful. I can even feel that there are people like us among his bodyguards."

"I need his address, um, do you think it's necessary to transfer Mogansha over?" Speaking of this, Fang Senyan looked at Zi and smiled: "Actually, I think as long as you are by my side, we can conquer the whole world—just like we did when dealing with the Skull and Bones and the Radiant Team."

Zi heard something indescribable in his tone, her face flushed red, and she turned her head away, but didn't respond. After a while, she slowly said:

"You should eat your fill first."

Fang Senyan acted decisively. After a hearty meal, he made a phone call and called Jiao Shi over. Jiao Shi's castle was only two hours away from London by train. When talking on the phone, Jiao Shi couldn't help but lower his voice to remind Fang Senyan:

"Boss, do you like Wu Ge more or Zi? Sometimes you have to make a choice."

Fang Senyan had obviously been considering this matter for a long time, and said very simply:

"I won't let go of either of them. At most, I'll get dual citizenship and join the UAE. The laws there allow you to marry four wives."

Jiao Shi: "... Will they be happy like this?"

Fang Senyan sneered:

"How do you know they won't be happy? In ancient China, there was a concubine system, and I didn't see the society collapse and women tragically crying blood and tears. It still existed for five thousand years. On the contrary, after the implementation of the one-husband-one-wife system, many women chose mistresses—which is the path of being a concubine."

Jiao Shi was stunned, then shook his head and sighed.

The e.s. Group's board meeting on Monday finally failed to be held as scheduled,

Because two very important directors were absent—and it was likely to be a permanent absence.

Sir Balaggan, who held 11.7% of the shares, contracted severe pneumonia and has now been admitted to Elizabeth Royal Hospital. According to the doctor's most optimistic estimate, he can survive this winter. Of course, the most pessimistic estimate was not asked on the surface, but it has already spread around.

Mr. Rio, who held 8.3% of the shares, had a serious car accident, and it seemed that he would be staying in the intensive care unit for a long time.

Without these two core members of the opposition, even if the board of directors was held, the remaining people joining forces would definitely not be Zi's opponent, so what was the point of holding the meeting?
