Infinite: Dawn Game

Chapter 662 Fever

Xu Han frowned as he listened, yawned, put on his shoes, and leaned against Yu Shijiu and "Feifei"—"Shijiu, it's time to wake up too, we still need to go fetch water together..."

"Meow!"

Lu Chusheng was extremely anxious inside, but he could only maintain a cold, feline expression and let out a meow.

"what happened?"

Xu Han approached Yu Shijiu with some confusion, and when he saw the other's face with her eyes closed and sleeping peacefully, he sighed that her sleep quality was really good.

Lu Chusheng: "..."

This was the first time he had ever been so angry that he wanted to bite someone.

When Xu Han realized that Yu Shijiu hadn't woken up even after he'd said several words, he finally understood something and his eyes widened in shock.

"Shi Jiu! Shi Jiu! Shi Jiu, wake up?!"

The only response he received was Yu Shijiu's serene sleeping face and motionless body.

"What...what's going on?"

Xu Han stared in horror at Yu Shijiu, who lay motionless on the bed, his teeth chattering.

"Shi Jiu, why isn't Shi Jiu waking up?"

"..."

Lu Chusheng glanced at him coldly, put down his hand that had been pushing Yu Shijiu, and irritably rubbed his head against the other's face several times.

"……Meow."

After a long while, Lu Chusheng let out a weary cry.

Xu Han looked at the unconscious Yu Shijiu on the bed, feeling completely lost, and paced back and forth helplessly by the bedside.

"...Why can't he wake up? Why can't he wake up... Could it be... could it be the wool from last night? Ah yes, yes, could it be contaminated again... Yes, it must be, it must be. I, I'll feed him some goat milk, some goat milk will do the trick..."

As Xu Han spoke, he took out goat milk from his system backpack. Just as he was about to unscrew the cap with trembling hands, an angry roar suddenly rang out behind him.

"You two!"

It's Angkor!

Xu Han's hand holding the bottle cap trembled, but he quickly shoved the goat milk bottle under "Fatty's" belly.

Lu Chusheng, who was suddenly poked, was speechless.

"Everyone's busy! How dare you two slack off here?!"

As Angkor Wat drew closer, the heavy thud of each footstep startled Xu Han so much that he jumped up on the spot.

"No! No! Angkor!"

Xu Han quickly turned around, raised his hands, and desperately explained, "We didn't slack off, it was Shi Jiu, he... his name is not—"

"quibble!"

Angkor was furious; his dark face twisted in anger at Xu Han's "excuses."

"Get to work right now! I really want to beat you to death—"

"Angkor!"

Xu Han's scream interrupted Wu Ge's anger, "We really didn't slack off, Wu Ge! I mean it! We didn't slack off! It's just that Shi Jiu is unresponsive! We can't wake her up no matter what we do!!!"

"—Can't be woken up?"

Angkor's contorted face calmed briefly for a few seconds after those words, then he frowned and pressed on:

"You weren't faking illness to shirk your duties?"

No way!!!

Xu Han felt even more wronged than Dou E, and quickly said:

"I don't know either, Brother Wu. I think Shi Jiu is sick. He's never been very healthy since he was little... Waaah, maybe it's because it's his first time on a ship, so... so he got seasick?"

"..."

Upon hearing this, not only Wu Ge, but even Lu Chusheng standing to the side laughed in anger.

Lu Chusheng's mouth twitched as it opened and closed, finally taking a slow, deep breath.

"seasick?"

Sure enough, Angkor laughed coldly:

"You dare to become a crew member if you're seasick? Do you think I'm crazy? You were a lively young man yesterday, and now you're seasick and can't wake up?"

Do you even believe what you're saying?

"..." Xu Han hesitated for a moment, then licked his lips and whispered, "Although it doesn't sound quite true... but Brother Wu, what I'm saying is really true—"

"go away!"

Wu Ge angrily shoved Xu Han, who was blocking his way, and reached out to grab Yu Shijiu on the bed—but Lu Chusheng quickly blocked him.

"Meow!"

Lu Chusheng blocked Wu Ge's hand, letting out a low growl.

"?"

Angkor's hand, which was being blocked, sank directly into a patch of soft fur. He was clearly stunned for a few seconds, then frowned as he looked at the orange cat blocking his way, somewhat surprised.

"They're so protective of their master?"

Wu Ge clicked his tongue and then pretended to grab Yu Shijiu again—this time, Lu Chusheng just squatted in place without moving.

—Angkor's touch this time was very light; it was clearly meant to tease the cat.

Lu Chusheng raised his hand and licked it, his deep pupils fixed on Wu Ge's hand.

"Ah."

Wu Ge was amused and reached out to touch Yu Shijiu's forehead, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, to check his temperature. His brows, which had just relaxed, furrowed again.

"What's wrong? Why is his forehead so hot?"

Xu Han, who was secretly plotting how to push Angkor Wat aside, was instantly shocked:

"What? My forehead is hot? How could my forehead be hot?!"

He tried to wake Yu Shijiu up, but he touched everywhere and didn't find anything particularly hot—could it be that it just caught a fever?

Xu Han's heart skipped a beat, and he leaned forward to touch Yu Shijiu's forehead—"Ouch! Holy crap! It's so hot?!"

"Won't this keep burning and damage his brain?!"

Xu Han was terrified and, disregarding everything else, grabbed Wu Ge's arm and said urgently:

"Angkor! Angkor, we have medicine on our ship, right? We have fever reducers, right!"

"..." Wu Ge frowned as he glanced at the boy on the bed whose face was burning red. The anger in his eyes had disappeared, replaced by a complex emotion that was particularly difficult to analyze.

"I still have some."

Angkor nodded. "I'll come and feed him his medicine later. As for you," he said coldly, "hurry up and help scoop water! We're really prepared for the downpour to flood our boat!"

Xu Han was extremely anxious: "Oh, Brother Wu, I know, but Shi Jiu has such a high fever, I'm worried..."

While he kept muttering to Angkor, he frantically searched his system inventory for fever reducers—damn it! There wasn't a single bottle left!

Who completes a game with fever reducers... Oh right, you can use your talent skills, but you can't use them here in Angkor.

Under the barrage of problems, Xu Han was so anxious his throat was practically on fire: "Brother Wu—"

“I told him I would give him the medicine.”

Angkor stared at him coldly, "Go outside and help everyone fetch water, understand?"

Xu Han still wanted to try—"Meow meow meow!"

The sudden meow interrupted his "struggle." Xu Han looked at "Fatty" blankly and, for the first time, understood the other's "meaning" without being taught.

——Go quickly.

This is what "Feifei" meant from his eyes.

Xu Han was stunned. His reason told him that he shouldn't listen to a cat, but for some reason, his body obediently started walking towards the cabin door.
