Chapter 218 Walking into a Trap
"No way, we finally escaped, and now we're going to go back and fight our way out?" Mo Fan said, somewhat amused and exasperated.
We're still wanted criminals, teacher!!!
"What can we do? We can't just sit idly by and do nothing about the plague."
"We don't need to fight our way back. The palace guards are on their way; let them arrest us and take us back," Tang Yue said.
"...I have a more rational way. Go to the S.H.I.E.L.D. base. I'm worried they might use this as an excuse for personal revenge," Mo Fan said.
My identity as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent is still somewhat useful!
Moreover, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not surprised at all that their agents carry a wanted poster!
When it comes to special agent missions, who doesn't carry a few wanted posters?!
Excluding the major battle groups.........
"There's no time to lose. Every minute the plague lasts, another person might get infected. Hopefully, its blood will be effective," Tang Yue said. The S.H.I.E.L.D. base in the inland region is barely there; the conditions are really poor.
"If it works, it proves that it is either the source of the plague or a life-saving medicine. Zhu Meng and the others will definitely not let it go." Mo Fan was speechless. He even wanted to say that even if it were the blood of a monarch-level demon, it would probably be a life-saving medicine!
A monarch-level being is a treasure trove from head to toe; that's no joke!
........
Bai Town, a quarantine zone for the plague.
Rows of hospital beds were arranged under white tents, the people on them covered in pustules on their arms and cheeks, densely packed. Their faces were marked with severe dark spots, their skin was extremely dry, and they constantly asked for water.
However, no matter how much they drank, it could not alleviate their physical pain; instead, it caused the inexplicable fluid oozing from their boils to overflow even more.
Cries of anguish echoed throughout the quarantine zone, from the elderly, women, adults, and children.
The adults, immersed in their pain, had eyes filled with fear of this unknown plague.
They kept glancing at the healing sorcerers walking around, hoping to receive their treatment, but even these skilled healers were powerless to help them at this moment.
The children, innocent and naive, darted between the beds in the isolation ward, unaware of what was about to happen.
Outside the quarantine area, several leading figures in the field of healing sat around a makeshift tent meeting room. What they could do was not to treat the infected individuals, but to count down their lives. They had never felt so helpless.
"Mr. Lu, we only have three days left. After three days, the first batch of infected people will all turn into the corpses we saw last time. The total number is..." said a middle-aged man wearing a white coat and hat.
Mr. Lu raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to report; he knew better than anyone how many people were in the first batch of infections.
This wasn't what truly unsettled him; what made him feel the end of the world was the exponential increase in the number of the second and third waves of infected individuals.
The exact number of people involved is impossible to determine, but they are scattered throughout every corner of HZ City.
"Mr. Lu, if we can find the source of the plague, we will be able to develop a medicine to resist it."
"Since everyone knows that this plague originated from that giant snake that once appeared in the bustling city, why don't we take immediate action?" the man in white clothes and a hat said.
Just as he finished speaking, Judge Tang Zhong stepped into the tent meeting room.
Mr. Deer glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Because Mr. Deer also knew that it was not a demon, but the guardian spirit of their local people.
Accompanying Judge Tang Zhong in was Congressman Zhu Meng, whose expression was even more solemn than before.
His eyes held a hint of anger, suggesting he had just argued with Judge Tang Zhong.
Meanwhile, Luo Mian, with his goatee, acted as a peacemaker from behind, wearing a polite smile on his face.
"Tang Zhong, do you really want to see Hangzhou littered with corpses?!"
If you continue to sit idly by as you are now, your wish will come true!
Then you will be the sinner of the entire Hangzhou.
"I don't want to concern myself with any hidden dangers or strategies right now, and I won't impose anything on you as a member of parliament. I just want to resolve this plague incident as soon as possible." Zhu Meng lowered his stance somewhat.
"And Councilor Luo Mian, stop trying to smooth things over!" Zhu Meng said sharply. "I want you to take action instead of just standing by!"
The pressure was on Luo Mian, who could only smile and agree, and immediately deployed his manpower to maintain his persona!
Tang Zhong didn't seem relaxed either; he also wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, and his heart was wavering.
Just as Councilor Zhu Meng was about to speak, a palace guard strode in and whispered something in the councilor's ear.
Councilor Zhu Meng's expression immediately changed, and he asked excitedly, "Did you bring back the totem beads?"
The palace guard bowed and said, "We have failed in our duties; please punish us."
Representative Zhu Meng's face showed a hint of anger.
Palace guard Li Jin lowered his head even further, and only after Councilor Zhu Meng's emotions had calmed down a bit did he continue, "Tang Yue and Mo Fan have been brought back. What do you think we should do with them?"
"Bring them here, now!"
……
Before long, Tang Yue and Mo Fan, who had surrendered without resistance, were taken to this quarantine zone.
Along the way, Tang Yue and Mo Fan witnessed too many unbelievable things.
During these past few days of fleeing, I never imagined that the plague had become so severe.
Arriving before Councilor Zhu Meng, Councilor Zhu Meng sized up the two men, his eyes wide with anger, his chin trembling. He sneered, "You two are truly something else!"
If I could, I would execute you right now!
Do I need to show you this hellish scene in the quarantine zone before you realize how serious your crimes are?
Mo Fan remained silent.
Tang Yue bit her lower lip tightly. Everything happened too suddenly, and the deterioration was too rapid!
By the time the Sky Serpent was taken away and returned, the entire city of Hangzhou was shrouded in disease, and everyone was living in fear.
I have never seen a plague spread so rapidly that it can instantly turn a peaceful and prosperous city into a terrifying zone teeming with germs.
The Dragon Kingdom Parliament has now decided to seal off Hangzhou, determined to do everything in its power to pin the source of the plague to Hangzhou!
Tang Yue reached out and handed a large bottle of Sky Serpent blood to Councilor Zhu Meng, saying, "This is the blood of the gods. If the plague is caused by it, this blood will help to resist it."
Even if not, this can still be used to study and interpret serum!
Zhu Meng gestured to Mr. Lu, and Mr. Lu and several other prominent figures immediately brought the blood to their research lab. They only had three days left; they had to develop a drug to resist the plague.
"Guards, lock these two up first," Zhu Meng ordered.
Palace guard Li Jin escorted the two away.
