Chapter 123: Cause of Death

Various countries have received reports about the hallucination effect of the new drug. It was highly purified, and after overdose, it'll cause many people to die. Others named the protagonist of such news "The Corpse Gnawing Case" and "The Cannibal Attack."

When drug addiction occurs, the world in Federico's eyes distorted. He would look at a key and see it as a cannibalistic squid. He would lose consciousness and lose his ability to think. He can't even be called a "human," only surviving through instinct, and wanting to scratch and bite as soon as he saw a moving object.

Johnson didn't dare come near. He was also afraid of Federico's injury, so he always used the wind to impede Federico's actions.

He followed what Federico taught, picking monsters that have easily digestible meat, and boldly searched the bodies of their chasers. He found some food and water and tried it himself before going to Federico who is exhausted and half-conscious.

The basement space is small. Johnson curled up in a corner most of the time, lost in thought.

What Federico said the first time he drove him away is like cold water splashed to his face, making the teenager chilled.

——is people's fate fixed?

Johnson drew a cross in his chest. He wanted to pray, but when he looked down and saw bloodstains on his unwashed palms, he stopped, hesitating.

God loved the world, but this world filled with monsters, isn't it hell?

A person struggling to survive in hell, no matter how pious, would not get God's mercy.

He pulled off the cheap silver-plated cross hanging around his neck and threw it into the darkness. This is what Katie gave him after coming to Massachusetts.

Johnson picked up the clothes he's changed into and used the slightly clean cloth to wipe his palms carefully.

The basement only had Federico's breathing.

Anyone who is a drug addict will not look good. Federico's initially healthy body was destroyed in a few days. He is thin and pale. There are also self-harming wounds on his forehead, and with distorted facial muscles, the tall man is like an injured beast, fierce and ugly.

Since waking up that day, Federico's addiction has occurred three more times.

He is getting weaker, but every time, the interval is getting longer. This is a good sign.

Federico, trapped by the wind ability, stopped struggling. Johnson peeled off the scales on the belly of a giant blue lizard and dug out a small piece of meat into a bowl. This piece of meat is white, with the inside a light red, tender like cheese, and even if you don't chew, it's easy to swallow.

"Mr. Morenza?"

Federico is groggy. He can't speak, and can't hear the sound outside.

Subconsciously, he thought he was going to die. He is acutely aware of the danger of the new drug. The purity is too high and directly destroys a person's nervous and immune system. Even if you had extraordinary willpower and got through the drug addiction, the body won't be able to hold it. There's no possibility of withdrawal.

Abandoned World has no treatment for drugs, and there are no doctors around. Federico urged Johnson to leave on several occasions because he foresaw his death.

He felt like he was suffering under a hot pot. His throat issued a vague cry, then lost consciousness afterward, hoping that someone can slit his throat with a knife to end this torture.
