"The problem is, we still haven't found the source of the plague," said Mofan with a frown.
These faulty blood serums could not prove anything. At most, it would prove that Councilman Luo Mian was involved in the so-called 'selling of fake blood serums'. In the end, the plague that had terrorized the people of Hangzhou City was still not completely solved.
"Don't worry, I've already planted a listening device on one of them," said the little loli Ling Ling in an experienced manner.
"You're still the smart one." Mofan could not help but pinch Ling Ling's face. However, Ling Ling's adorable appearance immediately turned into a tigress, glaring at Mofan. Mofan had no choice but to lower his hand helplessly.
The listening device was very clear. They could clearly hear the conversation between the people. The man with the rougher voice was most likely the Elder of the Enforcement Union, Wang Yi.
Wang Yi was leading his men back to the quarantine zone in Hangzhou City. They were most likely going back to Councilman Luo Mian's side.
Mofan had a feeling that something was not right with Councilman Luo Mian. It seemed like Tang Yue, Tang Zhong, and Hei Yu trusted the Councilman, believing that he was one of the guardians of the Totem Beasts. To their surprise, the guy had turned against them and sided with Zhu Meng.
There was definitely something fishy going on. Luo Mian's actions had most likely aroused the suspicion of the other Elder of the Enforcement Union, Li Tian. On top of that, it seemed like Li Tian and Leng Qing had already found some evidence against the Councilman …
…
The quarantine zone in Hangzhou City …
Under the white tents, rows of patients were lying on the sickbeds, groaning in agony. Their cries were similar to the cries of the Ten Thousand Ghosts.
As time gradually passed, the festering of the patients worsened. The antibodies extracted from the blood of the snakes were no longer enough to stop the spread of the plague …
"Someone has died. The number will only increase in the next twenty-four hours," said a Healer to Mr. Lu in a soft voice.
"Got it." Mr. Lu let out a sigh and said slowly, "The plague is in the patients' blood. The blood has been transported to the heart and brain. These two important organs have been infected, so we have to be extra careful with our treatment …"
"Yeah."
"Councilman Luo Mian is in the quarantine zone."
"What is he doing?"
Mr. Lu stepped into the quarantine zone. As expected, he saw Councilman Luo Mian patrolling the patients in the quarantine zone surrounded by his men. His face full of dark spots was filled with worry.
Luo Mian walked past the bed. He was not even wearing a mask like the others.
"Councilman, I beg you, please save us …" A middle-aged Mage was half-sitting on the bed, hugging his ten-year-old child with his right hand.
This father and son pair's bodies were covered in wounds, their faces full of dissatisfaction, their appearances terrifying to the extreme.
When the judges on both sides saw the middle-aged patient reach out his hand to grab the councilman's hand, they immediately became angry and tried to push the middle-aged patient away.
"Stop! How can you be so rude!" Luo Mian immediately reprimanded his subordinates.
Councilman Luo Mian with a goatee wore a kind smile. He took the initiative to grab the middle-aged patient's hand and said with a confident look, "Brother, just stay here and recuperate. Once we get rid of the plague snake, you will recover in no time. It's a pity that we don't have enough armed forces, so we don't dare to touch it for now."
"I heard that the snake has always been worshipped by a tribe in Hangzhou City. Councilman Luo Mian, is that true? Then the whole tribe is a bunch of scum. We must capture them and burn them alive!" yelled a man who had just contracted the disease, hating the evil as if it was his personal enemy.
The man's words immediately infuriated the crowd. Many of the patients who were grieving immediately turned furious.
"Everyone, please calm down, calm down … it's not like we don't want to help you recover from your illness as soon as possible. I've already applied to the government for the cost of your treatment. I'll take care of most of your expenses here. We've already grasped the situation of the plague, so we'll be able to solve it in no time, so please be patient! "said Councilman Luo Mian sincerely to the patients.
"The councilman is still trustworthy."
"Yeah, that's right!"
The restless quarantine zone soon calmed down after hearing Councilman Luo Mian's words.
Mr. Lu happened to witness the scene. He immediately went up with a smile and saluted Councilman Luo Mian, "Councilman is the most courageous one."
"I'm not courageous at all. I'm just putting myself in their shoes," said Councilman Luo Mian. Councilman Luo Mian gestured to the people around him, signaling them to back off so he could speak with Mr. Lu alone. "Mr. Lu, do you have any strong poison? You know the plague originated from the snake. We've trapped the snake in the Super Lightning Formation, but since most of the experts in the city have gone to West Fortress, we couldn't get rid of it in time. Didn't you tell me that we need the snake's bile to produce the antidote? I'm thinking if you have any poison that can kill the snake, we'll be able to solve the problem as soon as possible. Another minute of delay could cost another life. "
Mr. Lu understood Councilman Luo Mian's intention, yet he shook his head and said, "You might not know this, but the Black Totem Snake is the ancestor of all poisons. Even the strongest poison is no different than spring water in his eyes. It's impossible to use poison against him."
Councilman Luo Mian frowned. It was not what he wanted to hear.
"So, Mr. Lu, do you have any ideas? I'm worried when I see so many people dying in pain," said Luo Mian.
"Well … the truth is, after analyzing their blood and analyzing the poison, we've discovered that the Black Totem Snake's poison is not the same as the plague. In my opinion, Councilman shouldn't be so focused on the snake," said Mr. Lu.
"Is that so?" Councilman Luo Mian's expression shifted significantly.
"I'll continue to look for the antidote. Councilman, please go ahead," said Mr. Lu.
…
Councilman Luo Mian stared at Mr. Lu's back. His worried face was gradually filled with anger and anxiety.
The situation was getting out of control. First, the military had forcibly used the blood serums in the fortress. Then, Mr. Lu had proven that the snake's serum was not related to the plague. If he did not act fast enough, the whole incident would be exposed!
"Men," said Councilman Luo Mian coldly.
"Yes, sir."
"Act according to our previous plan."
