Chapter 250 The Crisis of the Female Doctor
The epidemic area that covered most of Gongliang City had formed a completely new environment in just half a month.

The air, soil and flowing water are shrouded in ominousness and death.

Dead bodies can be seen everywhere on the roadside, including humans and livestock. Even some houses have their doors and windows open, but the place is empty and there is no sound or human figure. It is eerie and quiet.

I turned a corner and saw half of a dead body hanging on the door frame. The blood had turned black.

"Master Zhou, be careful. There is a shortage of food, clean drinking water, and even more medicinal materials here. The only thing we have is crazy people."

Without medical care, medicine, water or food, they are kept in captivity like animals, waiting to die in despair. Anyone would go crazy.

Du He led Zhou You through the dead silent streets with ease.

Only the sound of their footsteps was clear and powerful, attracting the attention of many secret eyes.

Plop!
A figure suddenly rushed out from a house with an open door, but collapsed on the threshold due to exhaustion.

The original appearance of the figure was a woman holding a baby bag. She was sick and hungry, and died before she could leave the house.

Before she died, she held up her bag with hope, and passers-by took her child away.

"Hopeless."

Du He glanced at the bundle and saw that the baby's body inside had already dried up. The woman was so sick that she couldn't find it.

Zhou You looked around and saw the air was filled with sickness, mixed with large amounts of death and ominous things.

The air, soil, water, and even wood and stone are all contaminated by it.

Living people in this environment cannot help but be infected by the disease by breathing and walking, until it finally penetrates deep into their bones and they become completely ill.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the spread of the plague is a vicious cycle. The more people are infected and the larger the scale, the faster the infection and the wider the scope of coverage will increase at a terrifying rate.

Until the end, no one was spared and it completely became a dead city.

Therefore, the noble families took the lead in locking down the epidemic area and turning the plague's cycle inward. As long as all the sources of infection died, there would be no threat.

The method is extremely cruel, but very effective.

This epidemic prevention method that treats human life as worthless is more effective than any panacea.

"Why did the young master go to the epidemic area?"

Zhou You suddenly asked this question.

Xingren Hall plans to move to the provincial capital, and Hua Youxing is about to leave. Why should she be involved in such an epidemic?
The plague is snobbish and only harms the poor, but is powerless against the rich and powerful.

Rich families have a clean living environment, sufficient food and medicine, and warriors to protect them closely and dispel disease.

Gongliang City was hit by an epidemic, affecting hundreds of thousands of people, but the inner city was calm, as usual.

Du He was silent for a moment, "Young Master is different from others, she has kindness in her heart."

He was afraid that Zhou You would give up halfway, so he patted his chest and said, "Master Zhou, this trip will not be in vain. After rescuing the young master, I will reward you handsomely."

"I don't want a lot of money, I just want medical books on making and refining medicine."

for free?
Du He hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Okay."

After the discussion, the two men quickened their pace and rushed to where Hua Youxing was trapped.

Hua Youxing twisted a silver needle and picked up the mucus from the round box made of transparent crystal.

She moved very carefully. The disease contained in a tiny drop of mucus was extremely terrifying, and if it spread, it was enough to destroy an area within a hundred miles.

I heard a hurried reminder in my ear, "Doctor Hua, it's no use. The mobs are gathering more and more, and we can't leave."

Outside the brick house where they were, a large crowd of people gathered, pushing and shoving each other weakly. Some of them fell to the ground and died, spitting black blood, their bodies trampled into the rotten mud.

The first to arrive were the infected residents, whose saliva, tears, and even blood were filled with the aura of the disease. Although they were so weak that they would collapse with a push, they now formed an extremely poisonous barrier. Not to mention passing through this crowd, even touching them from a distance could result in infection.

Hua Youxing was completely trapped here, with a few survivors around him.

"Why are you panicking? My followers have already escaped to get help."

Hua Youxing sealed the mucus into a crystal medicine bottle, then sealed it with mercury, and added several layers of insurance before putting it away with confidence.

This time she went into the epidemic area in person, and after going through many dangers, she finally collected specimens of the disease.

The other companions were not as calm as her. Listening to the roars of the thugs outside approaching and the constant banging on doors and windows, they were so scared that they lost their minds and their legs were so weak that they could not stand.

If you get sick, there is only one way to go, and that is death. The difference is whether you die early or late.

There was a powerful warrior in the room with a pale face. He had already exhausted the last bit of strength in his body in order to dispel the disease. Now he could only let the disease permeate the air around him and attach himself to everyone.

Hua Youxing brought some medicine when she first came in, but it was just a drop in the bucket in the face of the huge number of patients and had already been used up.

Even she herself was exposed to the disease environment and could fall ill at any time.

"My rescuer is a very reliable person. He will definitely come to rescue me."

Hua Youxing raised the corners of her mouth, she seemed to be back in Xingren Hall, opposite her was Zhou You who came to visit.

At this moment, she held the seal in her hand, and her heart was filled with peace.

Suddenly, a fat woman screamed, she couldn't bear the despair of waiting to die.

"We hand over the female doctor. If the people outside want to survive, give them the female doctor, and we will be fine."

“This is our only way to survive.”

When these words were spoken, the survivors in the room reacted violently.

"You are so ungrateful. If it weren't for the female doctor who saved you, you would have died long ago."

The fat woman's shrill voice became more and more piercing. "It's true that she saved me, but now the herbs are gone. No matter how good her medical skills are, it's useless. It's better for her to save me again and sacrifice herself to let the people outside leave."

She was spitting and turned to Hua Youxing to beg, "Female doctor, please be kind and help us."

Hua Youxing didn't say anything, and neither did anyone else. They just stared at her eagerly.

"?"

The powerful warrior spoke up, "Have you ever thought about what to do if her followers come back with reinforcements?"

The fat woman spoke quickly, "Just say they were taken away. How can we, the old, weak, women and children, stop those people?"

"If you want to live, stop talking nonsense and speak with one voice!"

The room became even more silent. No one scolded her. Everyone was thinking seriously.

The powerful warrior coughed angrily, "You ignorant woman, you are short-sighted. I am ashamed to be associated with you."

He stood up and bowed to Hua Youfu, "Doctor Hua, I'll go first."

After saying that, he leaped up, rushed out through the door, and was submerged in the crowd in the blink of an eye.

The door closed heavily, and from now on, no one would help Hua Youxing and speak for her.

Hua Youxing had a smile on her face, without any panic, anger or despair. She looked at everyone with a calm gaze.

"Great, at least this way I don't have to worry about how to get so many people out!"

The young master of Xingren Hall folded his hands on his chest, with a leisurely attitude, as if he was still sitting in the hall of his own pharmacy, watching the people coming and going.

A doctor does not see good or evil, he only sees the illness!
