Chapter 135: A Test of Medical Ethics
At this moment, Ling Hao's face suddenly changed, his eyes narrowed for three points, and his gaze looked into the distance over Hua Zitong in front of him.
The Crazy Dragon Canyon, which was originally empty, suddenly appeared at the foot of the mountain two kilometers away, and several figures faintly appeared.
"There are ghosts!" Hua Zitong followed Ling Hao's gaze and glanced into the distance, his face suddenly turned pale, and he subconsciously screamed, no longer caring about embarrassment, he actually crashed into Ling Hao's arms, and his whole body trembled.
When Ling Hao saw Hua Zitong's appearance, he definitely didn't pretend to do so, and he was a little confused for a while. It's just that the appearance of those figures at the moment is too strange, and he can't care about thinking more about Hua Zitong, so he immediately pulled her behind him, and then looked at the figures intently.
Who knew that it was just such a blink of an eye, and at the foot of the mountain, which was originally only four or five figures, suddenly hundreds of figures sprung up like mushrooms after the rain, and they were still appearing.
The figures that began to appear seemed to have just discovered the traces of Ling Hao and Hua Zitong, and they actually walked straight towards this side slowly.
Although the walk is slow, after all, it is only two or three kilometers away, and it will definitely take less than half an hour to find this side.
"Strange, how can there be people in this Crazy Dragon Canyon?? And they all look so wooden, but they look like legendary zombies! Could it be that there really is such a thing in this world?" At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Ling Hao's mind, but he couldn't figure out where those figures came from, let alone whether they were "people" or not.
"Brother Ling, don't hesitate, hurry up, those are all crazy people trapped in this Crazy Dragon Canyon, once we are caught up, we will become the same as them!" Hua Zitong, who was hiding behind Ling Hao, had already recovered from the initial fright and shouted at him in a trembling voice.
Ling Hao was stunned for a moment, and then he was startled, and suddenly he thought of one thing, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he couldn't care about anything else, he immediately grabbed Hua Zitong's slender hand, and ran towards the foot of the mountain opposite the place where the figure appeared in a panic.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran a few steps, the whole person seemed to have been struck by lightning, and he stopped abruptly, showing a trace of fear on his always calm face.
In the eye, the foot of the mountain here is the same as the other side where the figure appeared just now, and at some point, hundreds of figures also appeared, and these figures are closer to Ling Hao and Hua Zitong, not even two kilometers!
When the figure over there saw Ling Hao and Hua Zitong running, he suddenly changed his previous slow movement and accelerated towards the two of them.
At a distance of two kilometers, according to the sprinting speed of the figures in front of him, it should take less than ten minutes to rush over.
Beads of sweat oozed from Ling Hao's forehead.
"Brother Ling, follow me!" At this moment, Hua Zitong, who had been hiding behind Ling Hao, suddenly said very calmly, and then directly dragged Ling Hao, who was a little stunned, towards the way the two had just come.
Seeing this, the figures at the foot of the mountain on both sides also sped up, and chased after Ling Hao and Hua Zitong like crazy.
After Ling Hao followed Hua Zitong for two or three hundred meters, he became more and more puzzled, and asked her as he ran: "Zitong, are you sure we didn't make a mistake?
Hua Zitong didn't answer, still dragging Ling Hao towards the cliff when the two of them came in from the entrance just now.
Seeing this, Ling Hao naturally didn't have the time to ask so many questions, so he had to follow Hua Zitong all the way. It's just that I didn't forget to look around while running at full speed.
The two soon came to the bottom of the cliff, and Hua Zitong finally stopped.
After running all the way, she was already out of breath, and a lot of sweat was oozing from her forehead.
And Ling Hao is not much better, after all, although he works in the medical Tao, he is not a martial arts cultivator, and for such a heavy physical exercise, he still seems to be a little more than willing but not enough.
However, Ling Hao and Hua Zitong were not allowed to have too much time to breathe, but they saw that the figures in the original two places had merged into one, and chased after them in groups, there were about two or three hundred people, and they were already less than two kilometers away!
"Could it be that there is still a mechanism here?" Ling Hao glanced at Hua Zitong, but suddenly found that she didn't look panicked at all, and even the fear she had when she first saw those figures disappeared, leaving only calm.
Yes, a calm face, as if it was all expected.
The doubts in Ling Hao's heart became bigger and bigger, but he saw that the figure in the distance was gradually approaching, but Hua Zitong was not in a hurry or impatient, and he looked confident, so he simply calmed down, and did not continue to ask, but took out a lively mentality to see what Hua Zitong could do.
Now Ling Hao is 200% sure that Hua Zitong has not only been to this Crazy Dragon Canyon, but also his familiarity with this place is far beyond his imagination!
"Brother Ling, you must be very curious, why am I not in a hurry at all now, do you think I should have a way to deal with it, so I am so calm?" Hua Zitong, who was on the side, seemed to see Ling Hao's thoughts, and looked at him calmly and asked.
Ling Hao was slightly startled in his heart, but he nodded quietly, and asked rhetorically, "Shouldn't I have this confidence in you?"
Hua Zitong smiled slightly when he heard this, but he had a helpless and wry smile on his face, and after a while, he looked at the figure in the distance that had reached about a kilometer, shook his head and said: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time, and I don't have anything I can do about those figures now!"
"What? you can't help it?" Ling Hao almost jumped up when he heard Hua Zitong say this, but looking at her expression, it didn't look like she was lying, and suddenly she didn't have the mentality of watching the excitement before, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she stared at Hua Zitong and asked, "Then can you tell me, why did you know that you couldn't deal with those figures, but you went to this Jedi with me without hesitation, and now you are so calm?"
"Those who know my heart say that I am worried, and those who don't know me ask me what I want!" Hua Zitong sighed leisurely, and paused before saying, "Brother Ling, you should remember what my father told me when we came in, right?
"Medical ethics...... Hearing this, Ling Hao fell into deep thought, his right hand subconsciously touched the tip ......of his nose, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and said, "I understand, could it be that those figures were actually banished here because they were riddled with diseases and were incurable?"
"Well, sort of! Actually, those figures are not ghosts, in fact, they are all poor patients with incurable diseases, and they are all very terrifying and contagious patients!" Hua Zitong said with a straight face: "It is precisely because of this that the Crazy Dragon Canyon will be automatically opened every ten years, and the purpose is to hope that people with supernatural medical skills will enter it and help these poor people......"
"So that's ......" Ling Hao couldn't help but feel sad for a while when he heard this, and then remembered something again, and immediately asked: "Then if the people who enter this Crazy Dragon Canyon are not able to help those poor people, what will be the consequences? Be killed? or ......?"
"He won't be killed, it's just that he won't be able to leave this Crazy Dragon Canyon again......" Hua Zitong still said unusually calmly: "Because the infectious diseases on those figures are too dangerous, once they come into contact with them, they will definitely be infected, and this Crazy Dragon Canyon has a natural barrier when they go out, but anyone who suffers from infectious diseases in the valley can't leave!"
"Well, I understand!" Ling Hao nodded and said, "In that case, then why do you insist on coming here?"
At the moment when Ling Hao and Hua Zitong were talking, the more than two hundred figures approached hundreds of meters, and they could already faintly see each other's faces, but they were all sickly, but there was a fierce light in their eyes.
"The reason why I'm here couldn't be simpler!" Hua Zitong smiled faintly and said rather sadly: "Because I was originally from here!"
