Chapter 89 Is this a plague? Don’t you usually read books?

Five days later.

Qin Zhan and Tang Yue parted ways with Leng Qing and Lingling.

Leng Qing and Lingling have already found out the truth and are preparing to arrest certain people.

Qin Zhan and Tang Yue were preparing to return to Hangzhou.

After all, the black snake has already passed the molting period, so there is no need for me to worry about it.

What Qin Zhan is more concerned about now is the plague!
The spread of the plague is much faster than expected.

Many pharmacists were dumbfounded; they had never seen such a fierce epidemic.

Not only is healing magic ineffective against it, but previous prescriptions are also ineffective and will accelerate the disease's erosion of the human body.

Most plagues have a latent period, followed by an outbreak.

After the disease breaks out, it will slowly worsen, become contagious, and eventually lead to large-scale deaths.

But this plague has no latent signs at all, it breaks out at any time.

Moreover, the speed of deterioration is quite alarming.

The patient from a week ago now has dense blisters all over his body.

The blisters are blue in color and look extremely scary. If I don’t get treatment, I may not see the sun tomorrow.

The first three people who were infected with the plague have died in their hospital beds.

After the blisters on the three corpses burst, their bodies were corroded rapidly.

He looked like a patient during the day, but at night he was completely unrecognizable!

However, Qin Zhan, who already had evidence, had long understood that this was not an epidemic at all, but a man-made disaster!

Plague quarantine area.

There were beds lined up in the white tents, and the people lying on the beds had boils all over their bodies.

Their faces show severe dark spots, their skin is extremely dry, and they constantly beg for water.

But no matter how much water they drank, it could not relieve the pain in their bodies. Instead, it made the fluid overflowing from the abscesses even more profuse.

Cries of grief could be heard throughout the quarantine area, from the elderly, women, adults and children.

Outside the epidemic isolation area, several old men from the treatment department sat in a makeshift tent, discussing something.

"Mr. Lu, we only have three days. After three days, the first batch of infected people will all die. The total number will be..."

A middle-aged man in white clothes and a hat said.

Mr. Lu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to report.

He knew better than anyone how many people were infected in the first batch.

What really disturbed him was that the number of second and third batches of infected people was increasing exponentially.

This number cannot be fully counted.

"Mr. Lu, if we can find the source of the plague, we can use it to develop a drug to resist it."

"Since everyone knows that this plague originated from the giant snake that once appeared in the downtown area, why not take action immediately?"

The man in white clothes and hat said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Judge Tang Zhong walked into the meeting tent.

Mr. Lu glanced at him but said nothing.

Because Mr. Lu also knew that it was not a demon, it was their patron saint.

Tang Zhong was accompanied by Councillor Zhu Meng, who looked even more solemn than before.

There was some anger in his eyes, probably because he had just had an argument with Tang Zhong.

"Tang Zhong, do you really want to see the entire Hangzhou littered with corpses?"

"As long as you continue to sit back and do nothing, your wish will come true, and you will be the sinner of the entire Hangzhou!" "I don't care about any hidden dangers or strategies, and I don't want to order you around as a councillor. I just want to resolve this plague as soon as possible!"

Zhu Meng took a deep breath and lowered his posture a lot.

Tang Zhong didn't look relaxed either. He also wanted to resolve the matter as soon as possible, and his heart was also shaking.

Just as Congressman Zhu Meng was about to speak, a palace guard walked in quickly and whispered something in the Congressman's ear.

"Haha, those two little guys are quite capable."

Zhu Meng laughed in anger, suppressed his anger, and said in a deep voice: "Bring them here, immediately!"

Not long after, Tang Yue and Qin Zhan, who returned to Hangzhou, were taken to this quarantine area.

"You two are really great. Do you need me to take you to see the hellish scene in this quarantine area? Only then will I make you realize how great a sin you have committed."

Zhu Meng stared at Qin Zhan and Tang Yue coldly, his tone icy and chilling.

"Guilt? Councillor Zhu Meng, if the black snake really spread the plague, then how come Tang Yue and I are fine? We stayed with it for more than seven days!"

Qin Zhan looked indifferent and retorted fearlessly.

“Who knows what’s going on with you guys, maybe you have antibodies?”

Zhu Meng looked at Tang Yue sarcastically.

"Then come and draw blood. Draw as much as you want."

Qin Zhan pulled up his sleeves, revealing his strong arms.

Mr. Lu didn't hesitate and asked several healing magicians to draw blood from Qin Zhan and Tang Yue.

If antibodies can be extracted from their blood, the plague can be eradicated.

"I think you should stop working on it. We can't extract antibodies from our blood because this is not an epidemic at all!"

Qin Zhan stood there calmly, not afraid at all.

The other two magicians stopped what they were doing when they heard his words and looked at Qin Zhan.

Mr. Lu frowned and asked, "Are you sure?"

"It's a long story. You can go catch a Lingclaw plague rat and see if the poison in its blood is the same as the poison in the sores of the plague. That will prove that the Lingclaw plague rat is the source of the plague."

After Qin Zhan finished speaking, he waited quietly for Mr. Lu's decision.

"No need to test. The plague is caused by the toxin spread by the black snake. How could the Lingclaw Plague Rats be the source of the plague?"

Before Mr. Lu could speak, Councillor Luo Mian's voice rang out.

Seeing the goateed Councillor Luo Mian walk in, Qin Zhan narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Councillor Luo Mian, why are you so sure? I read in a book that this phenomenon is caused by being bitten by a poisonous rat and being poisoned by the blood."

"I don't have time to argue with a brat like you."

Councillor Luo Mian glanced at Qin Zhan with disdain, then turned and said to Mr. Lu.

"I think we should kill the beast first, and then deal with these two, so as to avoid similar incidents from happening again!"

Councillor Luo Mian's suggestion was agreed by many people.

Mr. Lu thought for a long time, and finally said, "It won't take long to dissect a Lingclaw rat. What if he is right?"

"Mr. Deer, you..."

Luo Mian was stunned. He didn't expect Mr. Lu to make this decision.

"If, I mean if, if it is really blood poison, is there any way to break it?"

Mr. Lu asked Qin Zhan.

"According to the records in the book, the eagle red grass in Xiling can cure blood poisoning."

Qin Zhan spoke.
