Severed ties and living in a dilapidated house? No worries, the poor thing has a space.

The officers and soldiers, still expressionless, repeated, "You must leave here immediately."

One could clearly sense a sense of anxiety and urgency in his words.

Fang Yu guessed that the epidemic had probably already overwhelmed them, and they still hadn't found an effective solution.

To prevent the epidemic from spreading further and affecting more innocent people, they were so eager to drive away these passersby.

Now that Fang Yu has come to this place, he naturally cannot stand aside.

Without hesitation, she took a step forward, and at the same time, the soldiers who were standing in front of her seemed to be startled and quickly took a step back, deliberately keeping a certain distance from her.

Before the officers and soldiers could speak, Fang Yu preemptively asked, "Are there any civilians in the city suffering from incurable diseases?"

She secretly pondered that the reason these officers and soldiers were unwilling to speak openly was probably because they were worried that revealing the truth directly would frighten ordinary people like them who were just passing by.

After she finished speaking, the soldiers' expressions changed drastically. They stared at Fang Yu with wide eyes and suspicion, as if they could not believe that these words would come from the mouth of this seemingly ordinary woman.

He was so nervous that he started to stutter, stammering as he asked, "How...how did you find out about this?"

Faced with the officers' and soldiers' questions and surprise, Fang Yu remained calm and composed.

She answered calmly, "On our way here, we happened to meet a group of disaster victims suffering from the same disease. This place is the source of the disaster, and I secretly guessed that this place might also be suffering from the same disease."

Upon hearing this, the soldier's tone became even more anxious, and he hurriedly asked, "Where are those disaster victims now?"

As he asked the question, his expectant eyes swept over the group of people standing neatly behind Fang Yu like a scanner, revealing a faint glimmer of hope.

Fang Yu naturally understood the meaning in the soldiers' eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly that they had mistaken these innocent people for sick disaster victims.

She calmly replied, "They had already traveled elsewhere, and after treatment, they have all fully recovered."

"Is that really true?!"

Upon hearing the news, the officers and soldiers became extremely excited, and their voices unconsciously rose several decibels.

Immediately afterwards, he eagerly asked, "Who treated you? Could you tell me, young lady?"

Seeing the anxious expressions on the officers' and soldiers' faces, Fang Yu's doubts grew stronger.

This means that the situation in the city is probably far more severe and difficult than she had previously imagined.

"It's me." She took a step forward, looking at the soldiers with a firm and earnest gaze, and asked in an unusually serious tone, "Since the situation is so critical, may I be allowed to enter the city to find out what's going on?"

The soldier's lips parted slightly, as if he wanted to respond, but he swallowed the words back.

In the end, he chose to remain silent and lowered his head.

Seeing this, Fang Yu frowned and asked again, "Is something wrong?"

The officers and soldiers slightly raised their lowered eyelids and slowly swept their gazes over the group of people standing at the entrance of the tent.

These people all looked haggard and full of worry.

Fang Yu followed the soldiers' gaze and looked over the weathered civilians one by one.

Their eyes revealed a deep sense of helplessness and longing, as if they were hoping for a miracle to save their relatives and friends who were unfortunately infected and trapped in the city.

Faced with this situation, Fang Yu took a deep breath and then resolutely said, "Let me try!"

Under the expectant and hopeful gazes of the people, the officers and soldiers remained silent for a long time before finally agreeing on their own initiative:

"Alright, but let me make this clear beforehand: once you step into Yinzhou City, if you want to leave, you either have to successfully cure the patients inside, or you'll only face... certain death!"

The officers and soldiers did not intentionally intimidate Fang Yu, after all, the current situation in Yinzhou had indeed reached an extremely serious level.

Fang Yu did not respond to the soldiers immediately, but resolutely turned around and walked quickly to the carriage parked not far away.

Inside the carriage, Madam Li's face was full of anxiety, and her trembling lips seemed to be about to say something.

Fang Yu looked at Li Shi and said, "Mother, just wait for me here. I'll be out soon."

Li's lips trembled slightly. Her gaze first fell on the group of people who were eagerly waiting, their eyes revealing endless pity and helplessness.

After a brief pause, she turned her gaze back to her daughter.

Once they enter the city, their fate is uncertain, so how can she not worry?

Fang Yu knew Li's worries and concerns. She tried to put on a bright and firm smile and gently comforted her, "Mother, please don't worry. I promise you I will come back as soon as possible."

Fang Xin clenched her fists tightly behind her back, clearly extremely worried about Fang Yu's safety.

Despite her anxiety, she always had complete trust in Fang Yu.

She held Li's hand tightly, her large eyes filled with expectation and determination, and softly comforted her, echoing Fang Yu's words:

"Mother, don't worry! I firmly believe that my sister will overcome the danger and return safely. We have divine protection!"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were drawn to Li Shi, as if countless sharp and piercing voices were urging her to agree quickly.

Under the watchful eyes of these earnest gazes, Li finally had no choice but to compromise.

With eyes full of love and reluctance, she repeatedly urged, "Then Yu'er, you must be careful on your journey. Your mother and Xin'er will be here waiting for your return."

Fang Yu nodded solemnly, then turned her gaze to Yan'er and Yun Jie, and gently instructed them, "You must also be careful in everything you do."

Before she could finish speaking, Xin Jiyan strode to her side, his face solemn, his tone low and resolute: "Miss Fang, let me accompany you this time."

Just as Fang Yu was about to refuse, Xin Jiyan continued, "My life was saved by Miss Fang, and I have long since disregarded life and death. I also trust Miss Fang. I hope Miss Fang will allow me to accompany you."

After thinking for a moment, Fang Yu still refused: "I'm fine with it, but the safety of my mother and sister is the main concern."

And so, Fang Yu followed the soldiers' heavy footsteps toward the city gate.

The soldiers leading the way suddenly stopped, turned back to look at her, and asked seriously once again, "Once you go in, you can't leave easily. Are you sure you've thought this through, young lady?"

Fang Yu nodded without the slightest hesitation: "Lead the way, sir."
