Chapter 66: Incident, plague!
Chapter 66: Incident, plague!
The epidemic in Hangzhou finally broke out just like in the original book!
It was even a few days earlier than Luo Chen expected.
Just like the plot in the original novel, the mastermind behind the incident tried to frame the Totem Black Snake.
However, the situation is still at a stalemate and the area infected with the plague has been blocked off.
But it is clear that this stalemate will not last long.
Even if the Chief Judge wanted to keep the Totem Black Snake, the stalemate would inevitably be broken once the plague officially caused casualties.
People are naturally afraid of unknown creatures, and it is not surprising that they do anything in a panic!
Not long after Luo Chen hung up the phone, a familiar figure walked into the door of his clinic!
Lingling walked into the clinic with a serious expression, her once charming eyes now filled with worry.
"Luo Chen, something happened!"
Lingling said to Luo Chen with some seriousness.
"What's going on in Hangzhou?"
"you know?"
Lingling blinked her lively eyes and asked in surprise.
"I just found out..."
Luo Chen shook the phone in his hand and then stood up.
Lingling nodded, then she walked to Luo Chen's side, raised her head, and looked at Luo Chen pleadingly.
"Then...can you come with me?
I heard from my sister that the epidemic over there is very serious. I am worried that something might happen over there... Among the people I know, you are the only one with the best medical skills!"
It was the first time that Luo Chen saw Lingling asking him for help.
Luo Chen smiled helplessly, then he took out the coat on the chair, put it on, and said to Lingling:
"Let's go..."
Even if Lingling hadn't begged him, Luo Chen wouldn't have sat back and watched the tragedy in the original novel repeat itself...
The eagle red grass he collected in the previous few months was enough to prepare enough potions!
However, it is not enough to just cure the disease and save lives. After all, this plague was not caused by a natural disaster...
...but it’s a man-made disaster!

the other side
航州
Plague Quarantine
The whole room was filled with the pungent smell of medicine and the disgusting smell of sweat!
There were beds lined up under the white tent, and the people on the beds were covered with densely packed abscesses on their arms and cheeks.
Their faces show severe dark spots, their skin is extremely dry, and they constantly beg for water.
But no matter how much they drank, it could not relieve the pain in their bodies. Instead, it made the inexplicable liquid overflowing from the abscesses more abundant.
Drop after drop of cold sweat kept dripping from their hair, almost soaking the pillow!
Cries of grief echoed throughout the quarantine area, and everyone's face was filled with pain!
From time to time, they looked at the healing mages walking around, hoping that they could receive their treatment!
But these people who are proficient in medicine and medicine are also powerless at this time.
....................................
Outside the quarantine area, several healing experts sat in a makeshift tent meeting room.
Those who can attend the meeting are at least high-level healing mages, and each of them has more than ten years of medical experience...
But at this moment, as medical leaders, they are helpless in facing the symptoms before them!
They tried various methods and attempted treatments, but without exception, all failed.
"Mr. Lu, we only have three days left. If we still don't make any progress within these three days, the first batch of infected people will all die in three days..."
A middle-aged man in medical uniform said.
Mr. Lu raised his hand, indicating that he didn't need to report!
He knew better than anyone how many people were infected in the first batch.
But this was not what made him uneasy. What really made him feel that the end of the world was approaching was that the number of second and third batches of infected people was increasing exponentially.
This number cannot be fully counted, but they are distributed in every corner of Hangzhou City.
And almost every moment, the number of infected people is increasing!
If this continues, Hangzhou may become a deserted city!
This is something no one can accept!
At this moment, presiding judge Tang Zhong just walked into the meeting tent.
Zhu Meng also came in with him. He had a serious expression and some anger in his eyes. It seemed that he had just had an argument with the presiding judge Tang Zhong.
The two of them walked in the quarantine area of the epidemic, and their steps became heavy as they listened to the incessant wailing sounds beside them.
When the crying patients' families saw the visitor, they couldn't help but glimmer with hope in their eyes.
Although they did not know the two people who came in, they knew from their identities that they were not ordinary!
Many patients tried to cling to Zhu Meng and Tang Zhong, but were stopped by the guards.
Zhu Meng directly stopped the guards on the side and held the hands of those who were already infected with the plague without any hesitation.
The old man suffering from the plague also smiled on his swollen face, which was tortured by the disease, and tears flowed and dripped onto the pillow.
"Master Mage, you are an important person, you must have a way, I beg you to save us!"
Zhu Meng patted the sick old man's hands in silence and said seriously:
"I will do my best to find the source of the disease and restore your health! I guarantee this as a court wizard and councillor!"
When Tang Zhong saw Zhu Meng's appearance and the patients around him who were wailing in pain, he couldn't help but feel suspicious.
Is your decision really the right one?
....................................
A few hours later
Luo Chen and his group arrived quickly by high-speed rail and soon after they walked out of the high-speed rail station, they saw the deserted streets.
Tang Yue, who was standing at the door to greet the guests, recognized the two figures, one large and one small, in front of her at a glance.
"Luo Chen, Lingling, you are finally here! Get in the car!"
As soon as Tang Yue saw the two of them, she hurried over.
Tang Yue and Leng Qing also knew her, so they could naturally recognize Lingling.
"Sister Tang Yue, is the epidemic in Hangzhou so serious?"
Lingling and Luo Chen got into Tang Yue's car together. She looked at the people wearing masks and walking hurriedly on the street, and spoke in confusion.
"Yes, it's very serious. The disease has spread beyond the quarantine area, but the doctors haven't figured out how it spread yet!
In order to prevent the spread of infection, Hangzhou has been put under martial law! If I hadn't used my trial certificate, you wouldn't have been able to get in!"
Tang Yue nodded, and then began to explain the situation.
Lingling understood and nodded, then her eyes became solemn...
The current situation of the plague in Hangzhou is obviously worse than she expected!
Although the medical care in Hangzhou is not as good as that in Shanghai, it is definitely quite outstanding compared to the general second- and third-tier cities!
But facing a plague that left all the healing mages in Hangzhou helpless...
Lingling couldn't help but feel a little worried now. Could the arrival of the two of them really change anything?
