I’ll Do Anything

Chapter 79: I'll Do Anything

By the time Song Linfei's group fled to Phoenix Mountain, they had hardly any medicine left.After so many days, their supplies were completely exhausted.

Without medicine, the chronic illnesses of the elderly—high blood pressure, diabetes, and the like—had gradually spiraled out of control over these past few days.Although Lin Yingying's medical skills were decent, even the best doctor can't cook without ingredients.Faced with the elders' worsening conditions, she was utterly helpless.

"I understand."Song Linfei nodded, his brows tightly furrowed.

He had long sent people to scour Phoenix Mountain, hoping to find some medicine.But in this post-apocalyptic world, medicine was second only to food and water in importance.Most of the buildings were already occupied by other survivors, and even if any medicine was found, they'd hoard it for themselves and never hand it over.

Song Linfei's team had searched for days but found nothing—not a single scrap.

Left with no choice, he took people to search outside Phoenix Mountain.But when they reached the foot of the mountain, they were stunned.The whole world had turned into a vast ocean; the roads to the outside were long submerged by floodwaters.

"Brother Song, you have to think of something fast. Some of the elders won't last much longer."Lin Yingying sighed.

"I really can't think of any solution…"Song Linfei forced a bitter smile.

Seeing him so worried, Lin Yingying hesitated but seemed to want to say something.Her expression caught Song Linfei's attention, and with a probing look he asked,"Yingying, do you know where we can find medicine?"

Lin Yingying hesitated briefly, then nodded."Yes, Brother Song. Have you forgotten about Su Chen?"

"Of course not. I know he has medicine, but…"Song Linfei's face was full of helplessness.

She had told him before that Su Chen purchased a large stock of medicine and medical equipment from her.Among all the groups on Phoenix Mountain, Su Chen probably had the largest and most complete collection of medicines.

Song Linfei had even sent people to visit Su Chen, but they were always turned away at the door.

Having witnessed Su Chen's brutal massacre a few days ago, Song Linfei dared not press the issue.

Seeing Song Linfei's dilemma, Lin Yingying understood.She bit her lip and sighed softly,"If it really comes down to it, then I'll go myself."

"That would be great!"Song Linfei was relieved.

Unlike the rich second-generation playboy Zhou Shixian, Song Linfei was sharp and experienced.He had already realized the relationship between Su Chen and Lin Yingying was far more complicated than she let on.If Lin Yingying was willing to approach Su Chen herself, this might just work out!

"No, that can't be allowed!"Zhou Shixian immediately objected.

He had always suspected something between Lin Yingying and Su Chen.Even if not, it was far too risky for her to go on her own.

The last time Zhou Shixian met Su Chen, there was a stunning beauty named Liu Ling'er right behind him.That was proof enough that Su Chen was a lecherous maniac!

"If you won't let Yingying go, then how about you go?"Song Linfei frowned, thinking Zhou Shixian wasn't very sensible.This was a matter of life and death—why was he still stuck in romantic fantasies?

"Uh, well…"Zhou Shixian stammered, unable to respond.

In his mind, Su Chen was not only a womanizer but also a cold-blooded killer!He had slaughtered nearly a hundred survivors without batting an eye a few days ago.Zhou Shixian valued his life too much to want to meet Su Chen.

"That's enough, Zhou Shixian. Just keep quiet."Lin Yingying frowned slightly, clearly annoyed.

After being rebuffed by both Song Linfei and Lin Yingying, Zhou Shixian had nothing to say and slunk off to a corner, sulking.He didn't dare get angry at them, so instead he hated Su Chen.

"Su Chen, you bastard, you dare to steal my woman! Just you wait—when I get the chance, I'll kill you!"

After a brief moment of composure, Lin Yingying left the camp.She held an umbrella and walked toward the Yuelton Hotel.

Before she even reached the guard post, several armed survivors stopped her.

"Stop! Who are you?"

Looking at the compound bows pointed at her, Lin Yingying remained calm and unflustered.

"I'm here to see your leader."

"Our Boss Su said no visitors!"

"I'm friends with him. You'd better tell him quickly."

Lin Yingying didn't back down an inch.

The guards exchanged glances and whispered among themselves, reluctantly saying,"Wait here."

One of them picked up a radio and spoke briefly to someone inside the hotel.After a moment, he said,"Come with me."

Lin Yingying breathed a sigh of relief and followed the man inside the hotel.

Soon she entered the same conference room.Su Chen was leaning against a chair, watching her calmly.

"Something you need?"

"…You have a lot of medicine, right?""If possible, could you provide some?"

Seeing his straightforward manner, Lin Yingying didn't beat around the bush.She named several medicines—mainly for high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease.

Before the apocalypse, Su Chen had stockpiled medicines with Lin Yingying's help in making the list, so she knew what he had.

"Not bad. I do have medicine."Su Chen nodded, then shifted tone casually,"But why should I give it to you?"

"We can trade food…"Lin Yingying barely started before Su Chen interrupted.

He smiled without concern,"Food, huh? I have plenty. Won't run out anytime soon.""But medicine… that's probably the most precious thing here, right?""Why would I trade precious medicine for food I don't even need yet?"

Lin Yingying had no comeback.Su Chen was right.Most survivors who escaped from the city weren't lacking food.But medicine? That was a rare commodity—one not everyone had.Even if they did, it might not be what she desperately needed.

"If that's all, please leave."Su Chen waved her off.

He could see the old relationship they had and was willing to meet Lin Yingying.But that didn't mean he'd help her unconditionally!

His attitude toward women was summed up in nine words:"Don't initiate, don't refuse, don't be responsible."

Seeing Su Chen about to show her the door, Lin Yingying suddenly grew desperate.

There were several elderly people in the camp waiting for medicine to save their lives!If she returned empty-handed, what would happen to them?

Biting her lip tightly, she whispered,"If you're willing to give me medicine, I'll do anything you want!"
