Chapter 194: Revenge of the Sea
"How did you do what I told them to do?" Chen Pi said.
"It's done, and it's been handed over to the experts for testing." Ye Fanghua hurriedly replied that as soon as Chen Pi arrived in Mocheng, he asked Ye Fanghua to send someone to collect a few samples of all the animals and plants around Mocheng and send them to a specialized hospital for testing.
"Okay, let's wait here for the results of the tests, only when the results come in, can I be sure if my idea is correct." Chen Pi turned around and left the hillside with Xue Ji and the others, and Ye Fanghua, who was confused, hurriedly followed.
"Ahem, ahem." Shrinking into the depths of the cave, the Butterfly Monarch coughed in pain, and now he only felt that his whole body was on fire, as if he was in a raging fire, although he had drunk a lot of water, he still felt that his mouth was dry without a trace of water, and his arms were sore, and he was a little unable to exert his strength.
"It looks like I'm sick." This thought flashed in the heart of the Butterfly Monarch, but then he denied this thought, as the Netherworld King, he has lived for hundreds of years, and he has never heard of any Nether King being sick, nor has he heard of a Nether King dying because of this, but now his symptoms are indeed like illness, what is wrong with him?
Liangtai City and Chen Pi fought a defeat and fell short, so he took a dozen of his surviving subordinates to hide from the joint pursuit of the underworld and cultivators. He couldn't find a chance to heal his wounds, so his injuries never improved, and two days ago, one of his men caught a man who looked languid, and he didn't care too much about his desire to recover, but he felt that something was not quite right this morning.
Fortunately, they had already reached the mountains by this time, and their men found a hidden cave for him, leaving two men to watch over him, while the others continued to circle the mountains with their pursuers to lure them away from the hiding place of the king of Butterfly.
But now the king of Butterfly Luo feels that his body is becoming more and more uncomfortable, he has not known what it means to sweat for many years, and now he is sweating, and the blood in his body seems to have become viscous, and even the flow has become sluggish, King Butterfly Luo closed his eyes and tried to experience the changes in his body, and he was shocked to find that his blood had a tendency to solidify, and there were many clotted lumps in the blood vessels, blocking the flow of blood.
The shock in the heart of the Butterfly Monarch is simply indescribable, blood is the life of the Netherworld, and it is also the source of the Netherworld's power, the Netherworld King without blood is no different from the dead, but what is the cause of this terrible result, after the horror, the Butterfly Monarch who forcibly calmed himself down could not find a clue at all.
Just when he was puzzled, a figure flashed out of the entrance of the cave, and the subordinate who went out to find water for him walked in with two bottles of water, knelt in front of him respectfully, helped his upper body up, and fed him little by little, two large bottles of cool mountain spring water temporarily calmed the unbearable heat in his body, and made the king feel better.
Just when he wanted to turn his face up and speak, his gaze stayed on the cheeks of his subordinates, and on his forehead, beads of sweat the size of soybeans were rolling down, and the Butterfly Monarch couldn't help but tremble in his heart, he looked at his subordinates carefully, and his lips were already a little cracked.
"Crusoe, tell me honestly, are you feeling as uncomfortable as I am?" The Butterfly Monarch asked hoarsely, and at the same time, it was like fifteen buckets of water in his heart, seven up and eight down, Crusoe hesitated for a moment, but nodded slightly under the stern gaze of the Butterfly Monarch.
"My subordinates are only slightly unwell, don't worry, I can take care of you." Crusoe chuckled.
The Butterfly Monarch shook his head speechlessly, since Crusoe also felt the same discomfort as himself, then the change in his body would never be caused by the two palms of Chen Pi, but for another reason.
"My lord, you should lie down first, always sitting like this is not good for your body to recuperate." Crusoe said softly, "I'll go get you some mountain spring water again, Kruna is monitoring the situation outside the cave, you can rest assured." ”
"Crusoe, you drank that man's blood too, didn't you?" The Butterfly Monarch suddenly looked up and asked.
"Who?" Crusoe didn't understand for a moment, and asked back in a daze.
"It's the one we caught two days ago who looked languishing." The Butterfly Monarch thought about it, and his doubts fell on the unlucky one.
"Huh? The subordinates only ate a few bites, the taste is really not good, the adult's body will get better soon, we can return to Huangquan after we kill the bastard demon clan, and then there will be as much delicious as possible. Crusoe laughed.
The body of the Butterfly Monarch immediately became stiff, he already understood, it must be the person who was languishing that there was a problem, he and Crusoe had both eaten, and both of them had the same symptoms, but the Butterfly Monarch still did not understand, even if that person had a problem, but the Nether Monarch had always had a strong resistance to diseases, and this time they actually capsized in the gutter.
"Where's Cluna?" King Butterfly asked in a deep voice, if Klooner also ate it, I'm afraid his current situation will not be much better than Crusoe's.
Crusoe also noticed the surprisingly solemn expression of the Butterfly Monarch at this time, and replied respectfully: "My brother is quite picky about his taste, and after listening to me say that it tastes bad, he will not eat." ”
"Whew." King Dieluo breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, there is a subordinate who is fine, if all three of them fall, if the pursuers of the underworld come, won't there even be a chance to escape.
"You go get two more bottles of water, say hello to your brother again, let him watch the situation outside, and come back and lie down." King Butterfly waved his hand tiredly, although he understood the reason for his abnormality, but his heart became heavier, Crusoe only ate a few bites, and now it seems that he has also had a seizure, and those subordinates who are responsible for luring the pursuers away, the current situation is probably not optimistic.
"Ugh." The Butterfly King sighed, the matter had come to this, he had no power to return to heaven, and could only pray to the gods to bless them with safety.
At the same time, on Mt. Kirishima, which was shrouded in darkness in the night of Liangtai City, there was also a stunning woman standing on the cliff who let out a long sigh.
"Sect Master, how is the situation of those sick disciples now?" The shrine maiden Ge Ye asked worriedly.
"The situation is not optimistic, Miko-sama." The sect master's face was full of anxiety, "Three disciples have already fallen ill, if you don't get the warning in time this time, this terrible illness will spread within the clan, the elders are thinking about how to treat these disciples, it seems that there will be no results for a while." ”
Ge Ye nodded silently, his deep gaze fell into the distance, because the demon clan has now captured the entire territory of Liangtai City, the originally crowded tourist resort Kirishima Mountain has also ushered in its rare silence in a hundred years, there are no lights, no noisy voices, and there is silence in all directions.
"Mikome, have you made contact with Taizu-sama?" The door master asked cautiously.
"Lord Taizu doesn't know why this time, he has been falling into a deep sleep, no matter how I call him, he will turn a deaf ear." Ge Ye said with a distressed face, this time there are people from the demon world, Lord Taizu should know, but I don't know why, I just haven't responded to her, without Lord Taizu's permission, it is impossible for her to return to the demon world, and protecting Lord Taizu is the same fate for thousands of years.
"Ugh." The door owner couldn't help but sigh helplessly when he heard this.
At this time, there was a sound of gentle footsteps from behind the two of them, and the door master turned his head to look, only to see the old dragon bell, hunched over, and the elder with a bamboo cane walking slowly towards the two.
"I've seen shrine maidens and the lord." The elder arched his hand, which was considered a gift.
"Elder, is there any way to help those disciples?" Ge Ye asked anxiously.
"Alas, Mistress Shrine Maiden, the old man has lived for such a long time, and he has never seen such a strange and ferocious disease, I have discussed with those old bones for a long time, and I have not found the cause of those disciples' illness, as for how to start treatment, there is no way to talk about it." The old elder's old face had a look of tiredness that could not be concealed, and he had not closed his eyes for a day and a night.
"How are those sick disciples doing now?" The door master asked anxiously, there was one of his beloved disciples in there.
"There's no going back, and death is only a matter of time." The elder replied sadly, "I just inquired about their internal conditions, and found that they have many blood vessels blocked all over their bodies, the functions of their hearts, lungs, and kidneys have failed, and there are even visible holes on the surface of their organs, and the colored spots on their bodies are even more shocking. ”
"It's only been three days since the onset of the disease, and their condition has deteriorated to this point." Ge Ye said in surprise.
The elder nodded and said, "This disease is very weird, even as a demon clan, we can't avoid it, it's really an unprecedented thing, I have informed Lord Ye of this situation according to the request of Lord Witch, I hope they can find an effective way." But looking at the shocked looks of the two adults, let's not hope too much about it, after all, how can there be a good doctor in the demon clan that has never been troubled, let's pay more attention to the research results of those human scientists, that seems to be more realistic. ”
Ge Ye nodded and said: "I hope they can find a cure, otherwise the human world will be in chaos, by the way, Elder, all dead disciples must be cremated, and must not be buried in the soil, we must be careful not to pollute the water source." ”
"I understand, don't worry." Elder Fengshi took the order and left in a hurry.
Ge Ye looked at the bright moon in the sky, only feeling that his shoulders were heavier than ever, and the future had never been so confusing as now, unable to find a way forward.
"I'm so tired."
In the blink of an eye, it was already the eleventh day of the outbreak of the "plague and plague".
In the space of more than a week, more than 350,000 souls of more than 350,000 souls have been sent to the underworld by this unknown disease, which is still not officially named.
"Senpai, Senpai." Zhao Youcheng shouted and sat in front of the cliff, looking at Chen Pi in Mocheng District, which was like a dead city, with an expressionless face, while trotting over quickly, Lin Xingchen, who was standing next to Chen Pi, smiled and got out of the way, and now the two of them followed Chen Pi more closely than Xue Ji, and they almost went to sleep and went to the toilet to stay by his side.
"The results are in?" Chen Pi asked without looking back, "Is the food contaminated?" ”
"Senior, you guessed it right, my senior brother just called and said that all the animal and plant samples we sent had been tested, and more than 30 kinds of aquatic products we sent were contaminated to varying degrees." Zhao Youcheng said excitedly.
"Aquatic products." Chen Pi's heart was shocked, and an extremely uneasy feeling flooded over his heart, as if he seemed to have made a mistake.
"Yes, except for aquatic products, there are no problems with the other samples sent for testing." Zhao Youcheng looked at the tangerine peel whose face was getting more and more old, and said in surprise, how could he guess the source of the disease Chen Pi did not have a trace of smile on his face, but became more and more ugly.
"Call your senior brother immediately, ask him to inform, immediately stop all fishing at sea, hear clearly, it's everything, fishing on the beach is never allowed, and all aquatic products produced in the sea are not allowed to be eaten." Chen Pi said categorically.
Although Zhao Youcheng was confused and didn't understand the reason why Chen Pi said this, he still immediately conveyed the words to Tian Songzi.
"Mr. Chen, do you mean that this deadly disease is spread by seafood?" Lin Xingchen asked with a surprised face, "Those initial patients were infected by eating contaminated fish?" ”
Chen Pi nodded with annoyance, at this time he was blaming himself, thinking of the epidemic that might be caused by food contamination, but he didn't think about it further, the notice banning the consumption of seafood was a few days late, hoping that there would not be a tragic situation of the epidemic because of this, the current situation did not allow him to stand by, this sudden disease not only has a fatal effect on human beings, but even the demon clan has been threatened.
"Mr. Chen, how did you guess that it would be due to food contamination that would cause an epidemic?" Lin Xingchen couldn't help but ask in even more surprise, on this day, Chen Pi only ordered to collect all the samples of animals and plants in the surrounding urban areas of Mocheng and send them to the hospital for testing, but he never explained why he did this.
"Yes, senior, how did you tell if it might be caused by food contamination?" Zhao Youcheng also asked curiously.
Chen Pi said: "Actually, it is very simple, from the information passed to us, it can be seen that all the first few patients in the area where the first round of plague broke out are refugees who fled from Liangtai City in the south a few days ago, since they are refugees, it means that they have no home here, they can only live in the camp temporarily provided, and because they fled here in a hurry, they carry limited money, and these days, due to the lack of materials, prices have skyrocketed, I believe that many people are already shy." ”
"Isn't it every day that relief food is distributed?" Zhao Youcheng asked puzzledly, "It stands to reason that it should be able to meet their daily dietary needs." ”
Chen Pi patted him on the shoulder and said with a wry smile: "Sister City, you can't think about things so simply, although relief food has been distributed, but that bit of food is not enough for everyone to eat, and those who have experienced these frightes must also find a way to save some food in their hands in case of emergency." Therefore, the sea has become their best source of food, especially because the sea has been unsafe recently, a large number of fishing boats are docked in the port, can not go out to sea to fish, so it is not difficult for them to catch some fish on the beach, so these offshore fish have become an important source of food for them. ”
"But what they didn't expect was that it became their talisman." Zhao Youcheng said, "That's why the seniors asked for an immediate ban on seafood to prevent the plague from being introduced into the country." ”
"Mr. Chen, I must report this situation to the Chief and be vigilant against this threat from the sea." Lin Xingchen said solemnly.
"A threat from the ocean?" Chen Pi's face twitched slightly, and he said with a wry smile, "Don't blame the ocean, although I haven't figured out the real source of it yet, but I can be sure that the ocean and those fish are also victims, and the initiators, eighty percent are still us." ”
