Doctor Player Chapter 473 – Abduction 21

Raymond gulped down his saliva.

I felt a sense of crisis.

Should I avoid it?

But I also felt that I didn’t want to avoid it again.

why? I don’t know.

In his confused mind, Raymond put on a confused face.

“that… … Come to think of it! If you solve this problem, I want to reward you, Rose-sama.”

“Money?”

“yes? yeah how do you do that?”

“It’s what you want, this Rose always knows. It’s money… … Well, there will be many opportunities to get involved in the future.”

Rose approached, raising an eyebrow.

“Then shall we talk about something else now?”

“… … So what?”

“It’s a deep story.”

Rose’s lips covered Raymond’s.

* * *

Raymond, who said something different from Rose, made a blank face.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

I couldn’t get my head around the ‘deep, deep conversation’ I had with Rose.

“your majesty? your majesty?”

Seeing Raymond like that, Linden tilted her head.

I waved my hand in front of my eyes, but when there was no response, I jumped up.

“His Majesty also turned into a zombie… … !”

“… … no it’s not.”

Raymond cleared his throat.

The afterglow of the ‘deep conversation’ did not disappear, so I forced myself to think about something else.

‘If I solve this problem well, I can pay off my debt too, right?’

Although the conversation fizzled out because of the deep conversation, Rose answered clearly.

I’ll give you money.

You’ll be able to ask for a lot of money, and you’ll be able to pay off your debts, since you’re solving a situation that shakes the Iron Empire.

‘Huh good. my dream is getting closer Let’s solve it quickly!’

Raymond said he was full of fighting spirit.

“Bring the Linden Epidemiology Survey. We need to figure out the propagation route.”

“yes!”

It was an important issue.

It was possible to prevent further contagion and catch the culprit only by knowing how it was spread.

Linden brought out a heap of papers.

“We asked surviving family members to check the diets of patients who had been zombified for the past two weeks.”

“Do you have anything in common?”

“I don’t know exactly yet. But I definitely think it has something to do with diet.”

Linden explained.

“There are many cases where zombification took place in the same family unit and within the same district.”

It means that people who share the same ingredients have become zombies.

The problem is, which ingredient has a problem?

“Have you checked with the supplier?”

If the parasite was spread through groceries, it would have been tampered with in the middle distribution process.

Of course, food materials are supplied through countless tops.

However, there will be a common supplier to the area of the victims.

I had to figure that out.

But Linden expressed disapproval.

“I checked with the Iron Empire, but there is no common company.”

“huh?”

“There were a wide range of patients throughout the imperial province, but the companies supplying ingredients for each district were different. There was nothing in common.”

“It doesn’t matter if it’s not just one company. You may have spread the parasite through several companies. Weren’t there any companies with a lot of common denominators with the distribution of patients?”

“Yes, I checked, but there is none. They say that the Iron Empire Sanggye is very competitive, and no one company monopolizes a particular food ingredient.”

Raymond frowned.

‘what? Could it be that the spread is not through food materials?’

However, parasites are mostly consumed through ‘diet’.

Sometimes it comes in through a wound, but looking at the distribution of patients, it seemed unlikely.

‘Or if the path is not food?’

‘Dietary spread’ wasn’t possible only with food.

Raymond thought of the next possible route.

‘It’s water.’

Negative water was also a major transmission route for parasites.

Through Rose, Raymond identified the aqueducts and water supply systems of the Iron Empire.

But neither was water.

‘Each patient has a different water source. Then what?’

food and water.

When it was determined that neither of the two most representative routes for parasite transmission were found, Raymond fell into the mystery again.

‘Or is it not due to oral intake? But the parasite can’t be respiratory or droplet transmission.’

The route of transmission is unconditionally oral intake.

But what route other than food and water can lead to mass infection?

Raymond looked again at the map showing the distribution of affected patients.

Central heating distribution.

I don’t see any rules.

However, an unexpected sound was heard.

“Your Majesty, I have something to tell you.”

It was Rose’s best confidant, Carls.

Rose, who was with Raymond, made a puzzled face.

“What is going on?”

“I got a call from the Holy King of the Holy Kingdom.”

“From the Holy King?”

“Yes, this is the answer to your last invitation.”

Rose frowned.

Originally, they planned to invite Seongwang to find out.

However, the zombie apocalypse happened out of nowhere, and the plan was floating in the air.

“As for the invitation you talked about earlier, tell them that you will talk about it again when the situation in your home country is sorted out.”

“I already said that.”

Carls furrowed his eyebrows sharply.

“Still, he said he would visit his home country.”

“why?”

“He said he would help with the zombie outbreak in his home country.”

“… … !”

Raymond and Rose’s eyes widened.

Carls spoke heavily.

“The King Seong says he can solve this zombie situation with his own abilities.”

* * *

After Carl’s gone, Raymond and Rose looked at each other.

“As expected, it seems that the King Seong was right behind it.”

“Yes.”

Raymond thought hard.

‘I’m in trouble.’

Even now, the people of the Iron Empire regard this zombification as a divine punishment of wrath sent down from heaven.

All criticism was directed at Rose, the emperor, and public sentiment was greatly shaken.

But what if the King Seong solves this situation?

‘The Holy King will become the messenger of God who turned away the wrath of the sky. Then things will proceed as the King wants.’

What the Holy King is aiming for is probably to rule the Iron Empire in the dark, just like Ludwig did before.

If the Holy King, who has been enthusiastically supported by the people of the Iron Empire, supported the puppet that had joined hands with him as the emperor instead of Rose, Rose could be in great political trouble.

‘I have to resolve the situation before the Holy King comes.’

Raymond clenched his fists tightly.

‘We need to figure out the propagation route as soon as possible. That way we can prevent further infection.’

Raymond decided to run on his feet and inspect the scene.

‘It’s not that I didn’t check the site, but it’s not enough. I’ll have to check all the sites again.’

Raymond decided to comb through all the sites until a clue was found.

‘There must be an answer.’

However, despite all these efforts, the answer was not easily found.

I searched every house where the zombification had occurred, but there was nothing special.

How many times is that?

Raymond let out a deep sigh.

‘Why is it so hard to make money?’

Come to think of it, he had been on an endless forced march ever since he came to the Iron Empire. The difficulty level of the incident was also incredibly high.

No matter how greedy for money Raymond was, he was full of fighting spirit, but there was no way not to feel tired.

However, Raymond’s sigh caused the disciples to make a fuss.

In particular, the sweet potato trio made a fuss.

“Your Majesty sighs! Because we are not enough… … big. Get this old man’s cheer! What are you doing too! His Majesty is having such a hard time!”

“Your Majesty, fighting! Cheer up!”

“Meow! Meowong.”

The sweet potato trio cheered with the tune of ‘Cheer up, Your Majesty’.

‘Don’t do that! It’s like eating sweet potatoes.’

Raymond felt even more tired.

Then Christine sighed and got up from her seat.

“kyung?”

“I’ll get you something to drink.”

“It’s okay… … .”

“I am not okay.”

Christine was gone with a whistle of cold wind.

She clenched her fists tightly.

‘Your Majesty is having such a hard time. It’s all my fault. Because I’m not enough.’

She has long since given up standing by Raymond’s side.

In that case, I swore that I would be of help to Raymond even with my medical skills.

However, he felt sorry for himself that he could not always be of any help.

‘When can I be of assistance to His Majesty?’

Christine sighed and asked for something to drink.

“It’s a nutritious juice. When I checked, it seems that there are no particularly bad ingredients mixed.”

“thank you.”

Raymond startled as he tried to drink the juice.

A steel tower mark was engraved on it.

‘What is the juice from the steel tower?’

I suddenly felt bad.

‘Since when did these guys make and sell nutritious juices? I’ve never thought of making and selling nutritious juice.’

Why couldn’t he come up with such a good idea? Raymond felt belated regret.

If they made and sold nutritious juice under the name of Penin Treatment Center, it would have sold like hot cakes.

But that was the moment.

Raymond hesitated.

‘wait for a sec. Nutrition juice?’

Raymond hesitated.

‘Why didn’t I think of this?’

It wasn’t that nutritional juice was suspected.

Raymond suspected something else.

‘It’s not just food and water that people take orally.’

Raymond swallowed.

‘Including medicine.’

approximately!

Pylon does not depend on heal.

Like the Penin Center, patients were treated with surgery and medicine.

‘If parasites were mixed with the medicine prescribed by the pylon, it would be possible to show such a moderate dynamic distribution!’

What puts them in the most labyrinth right now is the uneven distribution of patients.

If the iron tower is the cause, it explains everything.

“Make sure that the Linden Zombified patients have recently taken Pylon’s medicine!”

“Oh yes!”

Linden’s eyes widened.

He noticed what Raymond was suspicious of.

The results of the investigation soon came out.

“All of the patients said they had taken the drug! When zombification took place in a family unit, everyone in the family took medicine.”

Raymond clenched his fists tightly.

“Bring me the medicine the patients have been taking.”

The medications taken by each patient varied greatly.

There was just one thing in common.

All of the pylon pills contained small amounts of mercury.

Like licorice, regardless of the type.

“Why is mercury like poison in medicine?”

The disciples were disgusted.

Raymond, on the other hand, thought it was understandable.

‘Even on Earth, mercury has been used as a panacea for a long time.’

Examination of the medicine did not reveal any abnormalities with the naked eye.

But Raymond pulled out a magnifying glass.

A magic tool that can be magnified at a high magnification of over a thousand times. Check the mercury content in it.

“… … !”

Raymond swallowed.

seemed

It was a parasite.

It contains the energy of chaos.
