Chapter 97: Furnace Refining Soup and Taking the Opportunity to Advance
"Please don't tell me that there are such coincidences and such ridiculous things in the world."

"Because I let Hongdou snatch the secret box, which caused the Three Saints' transformation to fail, so this blood rust disaster happened?"

Li Yu imitated Hongdou's self-defense mechanism, controlling his internal fire to bake his entire body so that the blood rust virus could not invade, while feeling very absurd.

At the same time, he instructed Hongdou without hesitation:

"Let's go and pack our belongings."

"Leave Tianjifang first."

As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. Li Yu had no time to think about whether this sudden disaster had anything to do with him, so he ran away first.

It can be known from the noise of the explosion and the coverage of the shock wave!

No place in the entire Tianjifang was spared.

From humans to various mechanical creations, all will be poisoned and suffer.

really!

Just as he finished speaking, dumplings started falling from the sky above Tianjifang.

One after another, the steam airships and mechanical ships encountered serious malfunctions, and they stalled directly in the air and began to rust. Even the new ships that had only been in use for less than a few days were the same. After a rattling sound, they all fell to the ground in unison, creating balls of fire.

When Li Yu rushed out of the house with Hongdou, a doomsday-like scene suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The residents rushed out of their homes, wailing and calling for help.

Regardless of gender, age or status, the symptoms on their bodies were exactly the same as those on Li Yu before. A large number of blood rust plaques were eroding and spreading. Everyone was coughing constantly, but what came out was not thick phlegm and saliva, but blood mist with rust, which made the whole street and even the entire Tianjifang begin to be filled with a strong fishy and sweet smell.

Moreover, because of the constant hallucinations in their minds, the residents sometimes cried and sometimes wailed, which was horrifying and weird.

The monster buses that were supposed to be running in an orderly manner on the street suddenly stalled and lost control, running rampant, and became rusty in a short time, as if they were old items that had been used for a long time.

And all kinds of mechanical buildings such as clock towers and towers suffered the same fate. The mechanical clocks no longer worked, and the pipes on the outer walls were covered with rust.

This huge change made Li Yu feel dazed. It reminded him of the great depression that he had seen on the Internet in his previous life after some industrial cities were ruined. Coupled with the fact that the residents were calling for help everywhere and spewing blood mist, the sense of déjà vu became even stronger.

"Flesh and rust combined... will this be what happens?"

"It's Hallownest!"

"A group of lunatics inside mastered the forbidden mechanical techniques of the Tiangong Sect and tried to merge their own forbidden flesh and blood techniques with the machines, which is why they created this weird and terrifying virus."

Because Li Yu knew a lot of secrets, he had no doubts at all and was very confident.

And the next moment, it turns into swearing.

Just as Li Yu and Hongdou were about to leave Tianjifang and enter the City Lord's Mansion area two streets away.

Suddenly, a giant protective shield descended, covering the entire Tianjifang.

Brand new steam airships and tower ships equipped with terrifying turrets flew in from everywhere and surrounded Tianjifang. Alarm notifications with a strong sense of murderous intent resounded through the night sky.

"Drip drip!"

"Warning warning!"

"Due to an unknown disaster in Tianjifang, which caused the spread of an unknown virus, Tianjifang will be temporarily closed."

"No one is allowed to enter, and no Tianjifang resident is allowed to leave."

“Please rest assured, all citizens, this incident has been taken over by [Holy Nest], and an antidote will be developed and distributed as soon as possible.”

"After the first spread, the virus concentration is rapidly decreasing. Hallownest guarantees that there will not be a second explosion."

"In addition, based on existing case observations, the unknown virus will not cause death in a short period of time. However, please do not drink water, do not engage in strenuous activities, and return home to wait for the development of an antidote..."

Obviously, there were many more ordinary people and practitioners who wanted to escape from Tianjifang overnight than just Li Yu.

But at this time they were all blocked by the shield, and the notifications and orders were obviously coming from the southern overlord [Holy Nest].

If you choose to force your way out, even if you don't die in the bombardment, you will still be hunted down by the powerful men of the Holy Nest.

Face the overlord of area 1!
Even if you are at Sequence Five, you will choose to give in.

Of course, there was no avoiding a lot of cursing:

"What kind of bullshit is this? Are you asking us to go home and wait for death?"

"It's still an unknown disaster. Doesn't the factory that exploded belong to the Three Saints Gang? Hu Xianfeng, Yang Daoli, and Lu Yimiao are now completely members of the Holy Nest. There's no way to know what they can do."

"It would be best if we could blow those three monsters to death. I don't know what they are up to. They created such a weird virus. If I cough now, I can spray out half a pound of rust."

"Although the entire Wanfu City is causing trouble today, it's not expected to be this big. Besides, those three monsters haven't received the Monster Star Order yet, so why are they joining in the fun? Are they going to collectively advance to Sequence Five?"

"It may not be a disaster, it's all the work of the Demon Star Lord."

"Alas, go back and wait for death. I never thought that I would encounter something like this one day. Can flesh and blood rust?"

"I don't know how many people will die in Tianjifang tonight."

"You'll know if you go to the area near the factory. The streets are full of rusty corpses. They were all alive before, but now if you throw their corpses into the steelmaking furnace, they can be directly refined into steel ingots... cough cough cough... Now, every few times I cough, I can get an iron nail."

Li Yu, who was also driven back home, was still thinking about how to escape.

But listening to these curses and looking at the residents who were coughing on the streets or in their homes but who were not dead yet.

Suddenly, a rather crazy idea came to my mind.

"Is it time for promotion?"

"I need to become famous through alchemy and alchemy, and leave traces in at least a thousand people's bodies... If I use the methods I found earlier, there will be no shortage of dangerous consequences."

"But what's in front of me is clearly a nearly perfect scene."

"As a member of the City Lord's Mansion's pioneering team, I'm doing my own research on detoxification because I'm sick. Even if it's a panacea that can alleviate the symptoms, it's perfectly reasonable to share it afterwards... oh no, it's selling it."

The more Li Yu thought about it, the brighter the light in his eyes became.

But he did not turn back immediately, but quietly withdrew the Dan fire, allowing the blood rust virus in the air to invade his body again.

We need to use the now poisoned people of Tianjifang to complete the ritual!
The prerequisite is naturally that he can come up with a drug that can detoxify or slow down the poison and save lives.

His Dan fire and Hongdou's crematorium fire were obviously useless.

……

Soon, Li Yu's expression changed and he showed a little smile.

The blood rust virus content in the air has indeed dropped a lot. Although it can still poison people and cause rust to form on the surface of the skin, it cannot directly reach a lethal dose.

Li Yu silently estimated that even ordinary people would be able to survive for a few days after being poisoned.

of course!

If there is no antidote in a few days, they will all turn into strange rusty iron corpses.

Having made up his mind, Li Yu was no longer in a hurry to leave.

Instead, he dragged Hongdou back to the house. During the process, Li Yu used the art of taking medicine to chew the blood rust poison in his body over and over again, analyzing the toxic components. After arriving home, Li Yu seemed to remember something and told his maid:
"red beans!"

"Let go of your defenses and allow the virus to infect your body again."

"Analyze it before the symptoms become serious and see if there is any way to stop the rust from spreading."

"Good host!"

After saying this, Li Yu reached into his bosom and took out the storage sachet given by the little nun Miao Chang.

With a thought, a strange book made entirely of human skin fell into his hands.

The best notebook!

Li Yu had anticipated that he might need this evil book that recorded many forbidden techniques for flesh and blood transformation in the future.

I didn't expect this day to come so soon.

"This blood rust virus is most likely created by the madman in Hallownest during his experiments, and it is related to flesh, blood, and machinery."

"Although the manuscript is from the Warring States Period and is many versions behind today, one of its authors, the Fifth Saint, is likely to be a strong man in Holy Nest. With the blessing of a large number of flesh and blood experiments, there may be clues to the antidote."

With that thought in mind, Li Yu began to quickly read the letter that exuded a disgusting and uncomfortable smell.

One perverted experiment after another caught his eye.

Although Li Yu's mind is no longer ordinary, no matter what has contaminated him, the last bit of his rationality will be locked away.

However, the experimental records in "Notes of Supreme Goodness" are too realistic.

The more you watch, the more you feel like you are there.

If you read a few more pages, you will feel that you are the "man who wields the knife", the saint who can create a new race and control all flesh and blood.

"Huh! If this damn thing falls into the hands of others, no matter if they are ordinary people or practitioners, I'm afraid they will not be able to resist the temptation and will directly fall into the arms of the Holy Nest."

"The feeling of using everything and everyone else as experimental subjects is so refreshing and joyful. It is simply incomparable to anything that happens on the bed."

"No wonder the people of Holy Nest are all arrogant lunatics. They all think of themselves as the 'Creator of the World'?"

While complaining, Li Yu tried to suppress his nausea and search for clues and ideas for detoxification.

Before long, he made a discovery.

"Ok?"

"The rejection reaction between the flesh and blood of different races...will cause the stitched flesh and blood organs to collapse...We must use the cleansing technique to cleanse each one first. Master said that this technique is a secret of Holy Nest. In fact, it is extremely troublesome and inefficient. I have developed a [blood cleansing agent] that can penetrate and cleanse the rejected flesh and blood on a large scale, making it easier to stitch."

"Blood cleanser!"

Just when Li Yu extracted the key words and was about to study its formula.

Hongdou, who was standing by, suddenly spoke up:

"Replying to the master, the analysis has been completed."

“The rust contained in the virus is exactly the same as the composition of real rust, and oily substances such as motor oil and lard can be used to prevent its spread.”

"Motor oil? Lard?"

When Li Yu heard this irrelevant and even somewhat absurd answer.

It seemed as if his inspiration was triggered in an instant. He originally wanted to refine some kind of detoxifying elixir, but what was triggered to work on its own this time was the art of medicinal diet.

Soon, a very special medicinal meal took shape in his mind.

A bright smile also appeared on Li Yu's face.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

The Tianjifang, which used to be bustling, was now extremely miserable and became the focus of everyone's attention. Citizens from the entire South District and even other districts also rushed to the scene.

Without him!

The mushroom cloud from last night's explosion was so shocking that even the barbarians far away in the North District heard it clearly.

Of course, what is more eye-catching is the so-called blood rust virus that spread after the explosion. It is really sensational and extremely bizarre.

"Everyone, go and have a look. Tianjifang has been sealed off. I heard there is a plague that can cause rust to grow on people's flesh and blood."

"What? There is such a thing?"

"It's absolutely true. The area around the huge explosion last night was littered with rusty iron corpses."

"Tianjifang has been banned by Holy Nest, completely blocking the entrance and exit. However, the shield is transparent. Now if you go there and find a good position, you can see the strange appearance of the people in Tianjifang."

"Hurry up, go and have a look."

"If that's the case, if we throw all the infected people in Tianjifang into the steelmaking furnace, wouldn't we be able to produce an unprecedented amount of steel ingots?"

This is Wanfu City, and it's normal for people to tell jokes about hell.

At this moment, outside the shield, almost everywhere was crowded with people.

There were both ordinary people and practitioners, all of whom came to see the rare objects, and soon got what they wished for.

Everyone could see that Tianjifang was now filled with sick residents.

Most people heeded the warnings of Holy Nest and stayed at home without eating or drinking, trying to slow down the virus's invasion.

But there were also many people who were tortured by hallucinations and wandered around wailing, because every inch of their skin was numb and itchy. They kept rubbing their hands, and every time they rubbed, they could rub out a handful of rust that fell down.

These pictures are really amazing.

The number of onlookers is also increasing.

"What a strange plague. The flesh and blood are rusting. I have never heard of it before."

"There are tens of thousands of people in Tianjifang. I'm afraid they are all hopeless. Something like rust is enough to kill you if you swallow a handful of it, not to mention this kind of rust that comes from the inside and corrodes you completely."

"After causing this kind of disaster, do the three monsters from the Three Saints Gang want to collectively advance to Sequence Five?"

"This is already considered a horrific torture. If we put [Good Doctor Hu Buku] in there to fight poison with poison, I wonder what will happen?"

"Hu Buku was here before. He was indeed very kind-hearted. He said he would go in and turn all the residents into zombies to end their suffering... If he hadn't run fast, he would have been caught and killed by a strong man from the Holy Nest."

"what?"

"Look at that street. The symptoms of the residents there are receding. They are gathering towards a butcher's house on the street. They seem to be buying some kind of decoction. It can't be an antidote, right?"

"You must be dreaming. This disgusting poison is obviously created by the Three Saints Gang through blood and flesh experiments. What kind of decoction can cure it? And it was made overnight."

"Ah, it works. It seems to be really effective for those people who drank it."

"There's a bronze chicken standing next to that man, and it seems to be broadcasting something. If anyone has the ability, can they copy it and listen to it?"
