Chapter 249 Plague and Help

Zhou You is refining secret medicine in the basement!

The house has a cellar for storing vegetables, fruits and ice, which can be used as a laboratory with a little tidying up.

The basement is ventilated and water-connected, and the wastewater and exhaust gas produced by refining medicine are discharged outside the city through pipes, which is secretive and convenient.

I have to say, life nowadays is really convenient.

The progress of the Wan Du Zheng Xin Dan increased a lot, and the dawn seemed imminent.

He also stockpiled a lot of medicinal materials, so he was not worried about the shortage of raw materials when refining, and he did not need to go to the pharmacy to purchase them.

Suddenly one day, Du He somehow found the place and came to ask for a meeting.

"Du He, what are you doing?"

After Zhou You opened the door, he saw Du He's face full of anxiety and fear, and he immediately knelt down when he saw Zhou You.

"Master Zhou, the young master is trapped in the epidemic area, please save her!"

Epidemic area, where is it?
Zuo Twelve, who was practicing boxing in the corner, stopped after hearing this and explained, "Half a month ago, a plague broke out in the city and quickly spread across the city. Zhou You was obsessed with refining medicine and hadn't been out for a long time, so he didn't know that the plague was rampant in the outside world.

From this we can see that the inner city and the outer city are two completely different worlds.

The medical street where Hua Youxing worked was originally independent of the epidemic area, but she insisted on investigating the situation on the spot.

"Isn't there an expert guarding the clinic? Why didn't you go with us?"

Du He explained with a bitter face that Xingren Hall was in the process of moving to the provincial capital and the move was almost completed.

Du He and Hua Youxing were the last group, and before leaving they wanted to find out the origin and inside story of the plague.

The epidemic area is rife with dangers. The air and running water are full of sources of infection. Moreover, countless dying patients have lost their minds and fallen into complete madness before destruction.

"Master Zhou, you owe the young master a favor, please help her."

Zhou You glanced at Du He and found that there was an unusual aura surrounding him, carrying with it death and ominousness.

Could this be the trace of the epidemic?

"Stand firm, don't dodge."

Zhou You took a deep breath, channeled his peak energy and blood into the tip of his fist, and struck Du He on the head.

Du He only has the strength level, and if he is hit by the power of the latter part of qi and blood, he will definitely be killed without a complete body.

But he was also quite courageous and stood still without giving way.

The wind from his fists, mixed with the soul-stirring roar of a tiger, made the skin on Du He's face tremble like ripples on the water.

Under the impact of the tiger evil, the ominous and deadly aura quickly shrank and weakened, eventually turning into a needle tip and disappearing without a trace.

Du He felt his whole body lighten. The depression he had felt since entering the epidemic area disappeared and his spirits became lifted.

He looked at Zhou You with awe and awe. He had heard that if one practiced martial arts to a very high level, one could fight off disease and death with bare hands.

Zhou You's action just now was undoubtedly to use his qi and blood to disperse the aura of the plague and eliminate the hidden danger for him.

Although it is not as good as the legendary means, it does have some similarities.

"Zuo Twelve, you stay here to look after the house. I'll be back soon."

Zuo Shier patted his chest and said, "Leave it to me, don't worry."

Zhou You pointed forward and said, "Lead the way."

Du He was overjoyed and immediately turned around and ran, "Just..."

Zuo Twelve looked at Zhou You's background without any worry on his face.

The plague is a fatal threat to ordinary people, but it has little effect on warriors. The more vigorous their qi and blood are, the more they can isolate themselves from the source of infection from the outside world, and even eliminate the root of the disease from a distance.

Zhou You is now in the late stage of qi and blood, so going back and forth to the epidemic area is just like visiting a friend.

The epidemic area originated in the southeast corner of Gongliang City. In just over half a month, it has swept across most of the city. From the elderly to infants, no one has been spared and all have developed symptoms of varying severity.

The weak ones died long ago, while the slightly better ones struggled to survive. The doctors and pharmacists in the city were just a drop in the bucket in the face of such a large number of sick people.

The top leaders simply ignored it, blocked roads, built walls, closed the epidemic areas, and left the local residents to fend for themselves.

You are allowed to enter but not leave. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed on the spot.

Zhou You and Du He arrived at the border of the epidemic area and saw strong martial arts disciples guarding the defense line.

The people guarding this line of defense are disciples of the Panshi Martial Arts School, and a Qi and Blood disciple leads the patrol.

Residents who had tried to break through the checkpoint and were beaten to death were hung on nearby wooden pillars, their bodies swaying in the wind like weightless leaves.

Through this thin line of defense, one can see the smoke of burning bodies in the epidemic area, and the sound of desperate and dying people drifting in the wind. This is the darkest side of Gongliang City.

People inside can't get out, but people outside can get in.

Many people's family members are still in there, and they want to get in regardless of the risk to their lives, but it is easy to get in, but it is impossible to get out.

The two great families, Xu and Qi, recruited disciples from all the martial arts schools in the city to guard the defense lines. They were allowed to kill people without guilt, and anyone who dared to attack the defense lines would be killed without mercy.

……

At a checkpoint on a certain line of defense, a carriage came galloping and a voice was heard from inside.

"I am the father of the sixth wife of the third master of the Qi family. Let me out now."

The martial arts school disciples guarding the defense line did not dare to be negligent and respectfully let him pass after verifying his identity.

You are allowed in but not out, huh?
The father of a concubine of the Qi family made the disciples of the martial arts school dare not say a word, and the energetic warriors sent him off with a smile. Was he treated differently?

It's so ironic. There is absolutely no scale in this world that can measure the difference in the value of human life, because the disparity is too great.

The carriage passed by the pillar where the corpse was hung, and the splashing mud and water wet the stiff soles of my feet.

"I'm Du He from Xingren Hall, and I want to go in to look for my young master."

The three big characters "Xingren Tang" are quite meaningful!
The leading Rock Fist warrior bowed and ordered them to pass, when he suddenly noticed Zhou You.

"Ok?"

The first sound was out of curiosity that Zhou You followed Du He into the epidemic area. Are the relationship between the two so close?
"Ok?"

The second sound was surprise!

Because he realized that Zhou You's blood and energy were unfathomable, far superior to his, and the difference was like heaven and earth.

Rumor has it that Zhou You is in the middle stage of Qi and blood, but it is impossible for a person in the middle stage of Qi and blood to cause such terrible suppression to him.

Could it be... the latter part of Qi and blood?

"Brother, what's wrong? People are still waiting?"

The Jinli apprentice next to him kindly reminded him.

"Oh, let him go."

He looked at Zhou You with a complicated expression and sighed in his heart.

When Zhou You left Jianxiong Martial Arts School and lost the protection of Wang Lao Hu, he was definitely not a lost dog as outsiders imagined.

Masters in the latter stage of Qi and Blood can always get along well with others at any time, and do so very well, and are always the guests of honor in wealthy and powerful families.

Didn’t you see that Zhou Youdu has a connection with Xingrentang? The Yaowang Sect is behind it!

"Come out as soon as possible within three days. After this period of time, the guards will be changed. It won't be our martial arts school here. If others don't understand the situation, they may not let you out."

The Qi and blood disciples of Panshi Martial Arts School kindly reminded him.

Zhou You clasped his fists towards him to show that he accepted his kindness.

In the martial arts circle, there are countless normal human interactions. Why not make a good connection? You never know when you will get a kind reward.

It’s still the classic saying, the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, it’s about the human relationships and worldly wisdom.
