Chapter 182: Psychic Phone, Transoceanic Call!

In theory, Chu Duo is the ambassador of the embassy, the top leader. Even if someone is starving, they shouldn't let him starve!

Moreover, there is Xu Zichuan, a Golden Body Realm warrior, in the embassy. Even if he goes out for a stroll, he should be able to find some food to satisfy Chu Duo.

But the current reality is different.

Chu Duo not only became thin due to hunger, but his consciousness has also become somewhat unclear.

When Liu Zimo was brought to Chu Duo's bedside by Xu Zichuan, the ambassador in his sixties was already pale, with swollen skin and extremely weak breath.

It was Xu Zichuan who somehow managed to find some Lingcan pills and had Chu Duo hold them in his mouth to sustain a bit of breath.

"Diabetes?"

With just a glance, Liu Zimo understood why Ambassador Chu looked so emaciated. He wasn't thin simply because there was nothing to eat, but because of diabetes. Even if there was enough food, he dared not eat too much.

After the apocalypse, all electrical devices in the world were rendered useless. Consequently, various factories, hospitals, and pharmacies were forced to shut down. Many life-saving drugs that used to be readily available have become precious and unattainable.

Among them, insulin for lowering blood sugar and medications for lowering blood pressure and treating heart disease have all been discontinued and are out of stock.

Looking at Chu Duo's weak and swollen appearance, it was obvious that he was suffering from various complications caused by high blood sugar.

Because he didn't have insulin, he could only control the rise in blood sugar by continuously reducing his food intake. But without enough nutrition to nourish his body, his bodily functions would decline day by day, gradually weakening. And the weakness of the body would further reduce the already low immunity and resistance.

This was simply a vicious cycle that couldn't be improved from the beginning.

It was quite impressive that Chu Duo could persist for half a year in the apocalypse in such a state.

"Instructor Liu knows medicine too?"

Xu Zichuan and the military doctor Zhao Mingyuan, who had been guarding here, both brightened up and looked at Liu Zimo with eager eyes.

Without saying anything, this Advisor Liu had already accurately diagnosed the root cause of Ambassador Chu's illness. This was not something that just anyone could do.

Of course, this didn't rule out the possibility that the other party had long known about Ambassador Chu's history of diabetes.

"I know a little bit!"

Liu Zimo modestly replied.

With so many "good brothers" and "good sisters" bound to him, and having harvested various kinds of good cabbage, he had already acquired a wide range of skills, almost touching on all professions. In terms of medical skills, whether it was Chinese medicine or Western medicine, internal medicine or surgery, the memories and medical experience he had accumulated were probably already surpassing those so-called experts and professors.

"That's great!" Xu Zichuan exclaimed, "Please take a look at Ambassador Chu and prescribe any medicine you need. I will do my best to find it for you!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly and said, "No need to go through so much trouble. Ambassador Chu's illness might have been quite troublesome in the past, but now, a pill is enough to solve it!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo took out a "Satiety Pill" and handed it to Xu Zichuan, indicating that he should feed it to Chu Duo.

Although the "Satiety Pill" can alleviate hunger and make one feel full, it is different from ordinary grains.

Firstly, it contains no sugar and does not burden the blood sugar of diabetic patients.

In fact, it is catalyzed and refined by psychic energy. Although it does not have the ability to treat diseases or injuries, it can maximize the body's blood and energy functions and enhance immunity and resistance.

With abundant blood and energy, one's vitality rises.

When vitality rises, all diseases are expelled!

In the apocalypse, both warriors and ordinary people rarely suffer from the same diseases as before the cataclysm, and even common colds and fevers are rarely seen.

Because as the end of the world deepens, the concentration of spiritual energy in the air is increasing, and human physical fitness is greatly enhanced and evolved in a subtle way.

Qi and blood rise, righteousness does not disperse, and all diseases naturally retreat.

People like Chu Duo, who have diabetes, have completely disappeared after thirty years in the end of the world.

But now.

Being in the early stages of the end of the world, the concentration of spiritual energy is far from enough to completely improve the body.

And because of the paralysis of the power system, all basic life-saving drugs are instantly interrupted.

Many people with serious underlying diseases like Chu Duo basically cannot survive the first few months after the disaster and are naturally eliminated.

This is also unavoidable.

Being in the end of the world, even if you are in good health in your prime, you dare not guarantee that you will definitely survive until the end.

Not to mention those special groups of people who lack medical care, have few medicines, and have serious illnesses.

"What is this...?"

Xu Zichuan took the pill and smelled the faint pungent smell emanating from it, and couldn't help but furrow his brows.

Zhao Mingyuan, standing beside him, felt the same way.

No one expected that Advisor Liu would actually take out such a black pill that looked like a product with no quality.

This thing doesn't smell like something good. Can they really give it to Ambassador Chu to eat?

If something goes wrong after eating it, who can bear this responsibility?

"This is the [Satiety Pill]!"

Liu Zimo naturally saw the hesitation in their eyes, knowing that it was their duty, and he was not angry. Instead, he explained in a calm voice:

"It is a special hunger-relieving elixir specially developed by the alchemist from our Great Xia to deal with the global food crisis and famine."

"Just one pill can provide an ordinary adult with all the necessary nutrients for half a month."

"This pill is refined from spiritual objects, does not contain grains, and has no sugar, making it most suitable for Ambassador Chu to take now."

"Considering that you may also be short of food here, I brought quite a few this time. Later, you can distribute some to the others in the embassy, fill their stomachs first."

"Well, although the taste of this pill is not great, its effectiveness will definitely not disappoint!"

Saying that, Liu Zimo casually took out a small bag of [Satiety Pills] from the [Eastern Pearl] and placed it directly on the nearby table.

Wow!

Seeing Advisor Liu's ability to take things from a distance, Xu Zichuan and Zhao Mingyuan, who were still thinking of saying something, were stunned.

What kind of magical technique is this?!

Where did he get such a big bag of things from?!

"Um... Advisor Liu, can I try one first?"

After a while, Zhao Mingyuan, who had reacted, asked Liu Zimo with courage.

After speaking, afraid that Liu Zimo would misunderstand, Zhao Mingyuan quickly explained again:

"Of course, I absolutely don't distrust you!"

"But this [Satiety Pill] you mentioned is really too magical and goes against common sense. I'm just curious and want to personally verify it..."

Liu Zimo shrugged indifferently, indicating that he could taste it freely.

A moment later.

Xu Zichuan and Zhao Mingyuan, who had each swallowed a [Satiety Pill], stood in front of Liu Zimo, completely convinced.

And Ambassador Chu Duo, lying on the bed.

After taking a [Satiety Pill], he quickly regained his strength and consciousness, and was able to sit up from the bed on his own.

"Phew, finally alive!"

"Advisor Liu, thank you so much! If you had come one day later, my life would have been in danger!"

Chu Duo sincerely thanked Liu Zimo, bowing respectfully.

I have to say, it feels great to regain my strength and regain control of my body.

And the warm and satisfied feeling in my stomach, I haven't experienced it for half a year.

God knows how difficult it was to not dare to eat or drink after my insulin ran out during the calamity.

So, the "Satiety Pill" that Advisor Liu brought is like a life-saving medicine to me!

Just taking one pill made me feel the same relief I used to feel after injecting insulin during an illness!

It saved my life!

"Chu Lao, you're too polite!" Liu Zimo replied softly, taking the opportunity to suggest,

"However, Chu Lao, your body really should be properly exercised."

"Coincidentally, I brought some martial arts secrets this time. If Chu Lao has the time, please try to practice them."

"I won't say much else, but once you master the techniques, not only will your old ailments disappear, but it will also have the effect of prolonging your life!"

Chu Duo was taken aback and pointed to his own nose,

"Me?"

"Hehe, Advisor Liu, don't joke with me. I'm already sixty-two this year, way past the prime age for learning martial arts!"

"And, without hiding it from Advisor Liu, two years ago when martial arts flourished in the country, I secretly tried it!"

"But it had no effect at all. I persisted in practicing for three to five months, but I couldn't even get started. It was just a waste of effort!"

If possible, who wouldn't want to live a few more years?

Chu Duo was no exception.

Two years ago, when spiritual energy began to recover and martial arts flourished in Da Xia, it also sparked a wave of people seeking martial arts masters to learn from.

And people like Chu Duo, who had some power and were getting older, couldn't sit still after learning that practicing martial arts could strengthen the body, break through certain realms, and even directly increase their lifespan.

Whether privately or openly, there were countless people practicing martial arts in the military.

However, out of ten thousand people, only three to five would be able to successfully enter the martial arts world and achieve their goals.

Not to mention that Chu Duo was not only getting older but also had underlying diseases such as diabetes. He couldn't even successfully practice basic body tempering techniques, let alone step into the martial arts world.

So, since then, he had completely given up on practicing martial arts again.

Now, hearing Liu Zimo's persuasion, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, saying that he didn't have the talent for it.

"Chu Lao, you're mistaken. You should know that the present is completely different from the past!"

"In the past, your practice was ineffective and you didn't enter the right path. It was naturally extremely difficult to enter the martial arts world."

Liu Zimo smiled and persuaded,

"Now you can try the two sets of techniques I brought. I won't say much else, but there won't be any problem helping Chu Lao enter the martial arts world and reach the Copper Skin Realm!"

Liu Zimo looked at the three-foot blue lock shadow floating above Chu Duo's head, speaking with confidence.

Although this old man was old and had illnesses, his martial arts talent was not bad.

At least, compared to Liu Zimo in his previous life, he was much stronger!

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the full recovery of spiritual energy and the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and "Pingyang Ten Forms" brought by Liu Zimo, stepping into the martial arts world was not a difficult task for him!

"Really? Advisor Liu isn't joking with me?"

Seeing Liu Zimo speak so seriously and confidently, Chu Duo couldn't help but be tempted.

This young man in front of him was the martial arts advisor of the Military Participation Department, at least on the same level as Hong Yuxun, a martial arts expert.

Otherwise, General Wu would not have awarded him such a precious consultant badge.

Therefore, Chu Duo took Liu Zimo's advice very seriously.

"Is it true, Chu Lao? We'll know after a try!"

As he spoke, Liu Zimo's mind moved, and he imprinted the "Pingyang Breathing Technique" and the "Pingyang Ten Forms" into Chu Duo's mind.

"Thank you, Advisor Liu!"

Feeling the sudden influx of these additional memories in his mind, Chu Duo was greatly shocked and became even more convinced of Liu Zimo's words.

To be able to directly transmit martial arts techniques into someone else's memory, this was a divine method that ordinary people could not achieve.

The strength of this Advisor Liu was probably even higher than that of Advisor Hong!

Come to think of it.

If it were an ordinary person, how could they have the ability to cross thousands of miles of ocean and safely arrive in the Jinji Kingdom amidst endless demonic disasters?

Chu Duo sighed in his heart, and at the same time, he regained full confidence in his pursuit of martial arts.

However, he did not immediately start practicing the techniques in his memory. Instead, he solemnly asked Liu Zimo, "I wonder if Advisor Liu has any other instructions for coming to the Jinji Kingdom?"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly and directly switched to a sentimental mode.

He conveyed the words of concern and greetings from the four pillar countries and Wu Songyang exactly as they had said them before.

He told Chu Duo and the other embassy staff who were stranded abroad that the country had not forgotten them and was always concerned about their safety overseas.

If the opportunity arose in the future, the country would send people to bring them all back as soon as possible!

For a moment, Chu Duo, Xu Zichuan, and Zhao Mingyuan were moved to tears.

Being in a foreign land and encountering a disaster.

They were able to survive amidst many dangers and had been steadfastly guarding the embassy, not taking a step away.

They knew best how much hardship and suffering they had endured during this time.

"In addition, this time I brought a mobile phone to the embassy."

"For specific issues, Chu Lao can directly contact General Wu or the four pillar countries through this phone!"

At the end, Liu Zimo flipped his right hand, and as if performing magic, he produced a simple flat phone out of thin air and handed it to Chu Duo.

Chu Duo, Xu Zichuan, and Zhao Mingyuan were directly dumbfounded when they saw this.

What's going on?

Didn't they say that after the disaster, all electronic devices in the world were scrapped and could no longer be used?

What is this thing that Advisor Liu is taking out now?

Although it looked extremely crude, with only a few simple buttons and not even a liquid crystal display screen!

But anyone who saw it could confirm that it was a mobile phone!

"Advisor Liu, could it be that a method to restore power has been found in the country?"

Chu Duo held the phone in his hand and asked Liu Zimo.

"Not yet!"

Liu Zimo shook his head slightly.

"This is a new type of spiritual energy-powered phone. It is fundamentally different from the previous electronic phones!"

"It can automatically absorb the surrounding spiritual energy to charge, and when necessary, it can also use the inner energy of a martial artist to replace it and accelerate the charging process."

As he spoke, Liu Zimo also casually took out a phone book that only recorded a few phone numbers and handed it directly to Chu Duo.

"These phone numbers record the private numbers of the four pillar countries and General Wu. Chu Lao can try dialing them!"

"Unless something unexpected happens, they should have been waiting in the capital for a long time!"
