"Ye Hu Niang, you invited me over this time, is there anything wrong?" Chen Pi asked, Ye Hu Niang couldn't just let herself drink a cup of nectar and risk the double danger of being discovered by the cultivators and the demon clan to invite him here, there must be something important to discuss with herself.

"Big brother, my sister asked you to come here, and I really have something to ask for." Ye Huniang lowered her head and said in a low voice.

"What's the matter? You say. Chen Pi said with a smile, "As long as I can do it, I will definitely do it for you." ”

Ye Hu Niang wanted to speak several times, and finally said: "I heard that in this plague, human beings died a lot, right?" ”

"Well, the total number of human deaths is probably over 100 million now." Chen Pi smiled bitterly, "I'm afraid this is the highest number of deaths per month in peacetime, and looking at this frame, I'm afraid it will hit a new high next month." ”

Ye Hu Niang's face suddenly lost its blood, obviously frightened by this huge number, and said after a long time: "Have you found out the source of this plague, is there any way to treat it?" ”

Chen Pi sighed and said: "The source is a bit eyebrow-raising, we have basically confirmed that this plague virus is due to a certain germ that has been mutated by a certain bacterium that has been contaminated with mercury, catalyzed by demonic gas, and three mixed poisonous gases, and Liangtai City is the first source of pollution for this plague outbreak." ”

"Wait, big brother." Ye Huniang interrupted Chen Pi's words and asked with a puzzled expression, "What is mercury pollution?" Chen Pi had to explain to her the origin of the year again.

In the end, Ye Hu Niang asked half-incomprehensibly: "Then do you have any treatment methods?" ”

Chen Pi shook his head gloomily, and replied helplessly: "For now, there is still nothing that can be done, although the researchers are desperately looking for clues, but there are no results yet, what's wrong?" What does this do, you ask? ”

Ye Huniang's face was pale, and with tears in her eyes, she took Chen Pi's hand and said: "Big brother, you must be careful, this kind of plague will even infect our demon clan, Ye Huniang finally found the eldest brother, you can't let Ye Huniang lose you again, that kind of painful life Ye Huniang never wants to experience in this life again." ”

Chen Pi patted her little hand and comforted softly: "Don't worry, although we don't know how to treat it, we have a little way to prevent it, and even if we get the plague, we won't die in a short time like ordinary people, do we have a way to delay this time?" Wait to find out what works for treatment. ”

"Have you found a way to prevent it?" Ye Huniang wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes? Overjoyed, he asked, "Isn't that great?" Do you know? Nowadays, many demon clans living in the human world have been infected by the plague, and many people have died? The day before yesterday, Ge Ye still sent me a message? Let me help her think about how she can stop the spread of the plague. ”

"Kudzuha?" Chen Pi thought for a while before he reacted? It's the beautiful witch of the earth spider clan, and she has a little friendship with herself.

Chen Pi showed a look of embarrassment and said, "But the two methods we found are not very suitable for you, we found?" Will this plague virus be close to stagnation in its fecundity below minus 50 degrees? But the question is, where to go and find an environment of minus 50 degrees? ”

"They can use the cold storage." Youlu interjected, "Nowadays, the larger towns will have large cold storage, they can use it, they can put those sick demon clans there?" This will save their lives, at least for the time being. ”

"It's no longer realistic." Chen Pi categorically vetoed, "There are no more people in the south? The power plant has also long been shut down and there is no electricity? Without human control, how can they, the demon clans from the demon world, understand this. ”

"But maybe some of the demon clans living in the human world understand? You're mixed with humans all day long? It's hard to guarantee that no other demon clan is like you. "Laughing again?" Sister can find a way to spread the news, if there is a demon clan who understands this, they will naturally find a way to generate electricity to supply cold storage, but sister, you have to think about it, you must not say that this news came from his mouth, it will bring him a lot of trouble. ”

"Sister Youlu, don't worry, I still understand this point, and I will come up with a reasonable explanation." Now that there is a way, Ye Huniang's mood is immediately much better, "Big brother, what about another way?" ”

Chen Pi smiled bitterly: "The other method is even more useless for you, the judges of the underworld can cast a spell that can effectively avoid the plague infection for three hours, and that's it." Ye Huniang nodded speechlessly, it is true, how can the judges of the underworld serve their demon clan.

"Lin Chen has rushed back from the mainland, and among us, he is the best at medical treatment, and it seems that we can only pin our hopes on him." Ye Huniang smiled bitterly, "But with this method told by the eldest brother, I believe that many infected demon clans can support some more time, and Lin Chen will be able to find a solution a little more time, alas, this plague is in trouble, and the migration operation that was originally planned to start next month can only be canceled, and this terrible plague must not be brought back to the demon world by us." ”

"Lin Chen? He's the guy who is good at killing people with puppetry, right? Chen Pi asked quietly, what this guy did at the Sichuan-Chongqing Airport, Chen Pi has not forgotten it at all.

"Lin Chen has always been reluctant to have blood on his hands, so he has cultivated the puppet technique." Ye Huniang didn't know about the festival between the two of them, and replied without hesitation, "But his temperament is quite gentle, and he usually doesn't quarrel with other demon clans." ”

Chen Pi shook his head disappreciatively, but after Ye Huniang said this, he remembered another thing.

"Ye Hu Niang, among the people you came from the demon world this time, is there a female demon clan named Hua Tear?" Chen Pi said, "I suspect she should be a flower demon." ”

"Tears?" Ye Huniang was slightly stunned, and thought for a moment before replying, "Can you describe her appearance?" ”

Chen Pi and Youlu described the appearance and temperament of the tears, Ye Huniang thought sideways for a while, and then said: "Judging from the appearance you described, this flower tears are likely to be the flower fairy, her body is a peony flower, but, from the perspective of temperament, but not very similar, the flower fairy she gives me the feeling that she is quite mature and sophisticated, and acts unscrupulously, although she is a female demon clan, but rarely can see her gentle side, in the demon world, many demon clans are afraid of her, this action, She's also one of the leaders, so I'll help you find out if she's been in human society lately. ”

Chen Pi and Youlu glanced at each other, nodded and said, "Since this is the case, then please leave this matter to the sister." ”

"How did you know her?" Ye Huniang asked strangely, so Chen Pi gave Ye Huniang a detailed explanation of the causes and consequences of the whole incident.

Ye Huniang let out a sigh of relief and said: "I understand, I will definitely help you find out for the eldest brother, such a dangerous person can't be carelessly placed by your side, otherwise you won't even know how to die." ”

Chen Pi laughed, took out a fruit from the fruit bowl, took a bite and said, "My sister is really smart, that's what I mean." ”

Secretly returning from Ye Hu Niang, Chen Pi soon announced that he was going to retreat and cultivate, during this period, without Tian Songzi's permission, no one was allowed to disturb him, just like what the brigade said, Chen Pi also thought that he needed to further improve his strength and prepare for more brutal battles in the future.

The two groups of the Netherworld Monarch's men and horses have been completely wiped out, especially the second time, which means the decline of a powerful Netherworld Monarch family, such a great shame, whether the Netherworld Monarch elders can swallow their anger, Chen Pi is not sure at all.

If the elders of the Nether Monarch sent a third group of men and horses for revenge, it would mean that it would be even more difficult than the previous ones, which was really a ridiculous speculation, even if it was Chen Pi, he couldn't help but have a headache when he thought about it. Although in these days, there have been nearly seventy or eighty Nether Monarchs who have died at his hands, and it can be said that Jizo has taken revenge on the Nether Monarch fiercely, but the sequelae caused by this are also extremely tricky.

The underworld was overjoyed by this, he actually got a powerful helper, although for them, Chen Pi eliminated only a dozen Netherworld kings, but in such a short period of time, to eliminate so many Netherworld kings, even in the thousand-year history of the underworld, there are very few, if it weren't for Chen Pi obviously not a believer in the underworld, the underworld would definitely include him in the new generation of judges.

However, in order to envelop tangerine peel, the rich underworld has given many rewards at no cost, in order to please the tangerine peel, the underworld can be said to be painstaking, first from the collection of the underworld over the years to select forty pieces of antiquities, all of which are rare and fine, escorted by a special person. Then all kinds of gold and silver treasures, as well as a high bounty, went into Chen Pi's account, but all this, Chen Pi, who is currently in retreat, naturally has no way of knowing.

Now he is wholeheartedly committed to further improving his combat effectiveness, looking for the information in Jizo's memory, and digesting the treasures left by Jizo from Ye Huniang's hands, since it is impossible to break through the bottleneck of demonic power growth in a short period of time, then diversified attack methods have naturally become the first choice for Chen Pi.

In the hectic life, the days always feel like they go by quickly.

Chen Pi, who was concentrating on research, naturally had no intention of paying attention to the passage of time, when Zhao Youcheng woke him up from the state of retreat, the time was already half a month later, when Chen Pi after washing up, sitting in the living room refreshed, Tian Songzi and Ye Fanghua had been waiting for him here for nearly an hour, first of all, Tian Songzi and Ye Fanghua naturally informed him of the changes in the world in the half month of his retreat.

"Senior, in the past half a month, although the spread of the plague has slowed down with the investment of a lot of financial and human resources in various countries, it is still shocking on the whole, and now, I am afraid that except for the Antarctic continent, there is no country that has not found plague patients." Ye Fanghua said to Chen Pi with a distressed face, "There are still nearly four million plague patients in the country, and the death toll has climbed to more than 11 million. ”

Tian Songzi sighed and said: "The most troublesome thing is that the coastal areas are so densely populated that we often have to isolate hundreds of people as long as one case is found, which puts great pressure on our administrative department." ”

Chen Pi sighed helplessly, he had long thought of this situation, China's population is as high as 1.4 billion, the coastline stretches for thousands of kilometers, and many ports are distributed on it, and the coastal provinces that first carried out the reform and opening up policy are the most economically active areas in China, and they are also the most densely populated areas, coupled with the huge floating population, tens of millions of people are transferred from one province to another every day, once this large-scale contagious disease occurs, it is difficult to control it.

Tian Songzi continued: "There is no need to talk about economic losses, after all, it is the first place to save your life." ”

"What did you say?" Chen Pi, who was taken aback, interrupted Tian Songzi's words and said in surprise, "How can so many people be infected with the plague, didn't we remind us to do more prevention a long time ago, what are the health departments busy with?" ”

Tian Songzi sighed helplessly and said: "Senior, we have already made a notice, and we have also issued a document asking all local departments to work together to strictly prevent the entry of the plague, but there are always some people who want money and don't want to die, and they take this opportunity to smuggle and smuggle in a big way to make huge profits." ”

"Ugh." Chen Pi could only sigh helplessly, what else could he say in the face of this situation.

The room immediately fell silent, Chen Pi and Tian Songzi who were leaning on the sofa had gloomy faces, while Ye Fanghua, who was sitting upright, was full of embarrassment, and after a long time, Chen Pi asked in a deep voice: "What are the current research results?" Is there any big progress, that Baole didn't cause trouble, right? ”

"That Bao Le has always kept to himself, and every day in addition to using demonic energy to catalyze germs for research, he just stays in his room and closes his eyes to practice, and rarely talks to others." Ye Fanghua hurriedly replied, the oppressive atmosphere in the room just now made him a little out of breath.

"That's good." Chen Pi's heart immediately relaxed a lot, if something happened to Bao Le, how would he explain to Xue Ji and their family, and Bao Le also agreed to form an alliance with the Awakened because of his strong persuasion, he couldn't be sorry for this cheap big brother.

"Those snow demons who were captured by the awakened and have not yet become demon pets are sent back, we cultivators can't be untrustworthy and let the demon clan despise us." Chen Pi suddenly remembered the conditions reached in the original agreement and asked Ye Fanghuadao.

"Please rest assured, a total of nineteen snow demons have been returned to the snow demon clan half a month ago, and the seniors were still quarantined and observed at that time, so they failed to inform you of this matter." Ye Fanghua immediately replied, "Now we are evacuating the residents living in the agreed area, and the relocation will be completed on schedule in a few days." Chen Pi nodded with satisfaction, which can be regarded as an explanation to the Snow Demon Clan.

At this time, Tian Songzi's mobile phone suddenly rang non-stop, Tian Songzi said hello to the two apologetically, stood under the window and took the call.

"What do you say, great, great, this is the best news I've heard these days, you come right now, the address is."

The address that Tian Songzi said was the location of Chen Pi's villa, Chen Pi and Ye Fanghua glanced at each other, it seemed that something was coming, and it would bring a great joy.

Tian Songzi hung up the phone, returned to his seat happily, and said excitedly: "Senior, great joy, Zhao Qingshi called me just now, and the sect has found the secret recipe to crack the catalytic effect of demonic qi, which they found after going through countless classics these days." ”

As soon as these words came out, Ye Fanghua jumped up from the sofa at once, and repeatedly asked Tian Songzi for confirmation with a face of disbelief, and when he got a positive answer, he was ecstatic and happily walked around the house like a bird.

"Who is this Zhao Qingshi? That infectious disease specialist? Chen Piqiang asked holding back the ecstasy in his heart.

Tian Songzi was slightly stunned at first, and then said: "Yes, senior, really, I have never mentioned his real name to you, he and Youcheng are cousins." ”

"The two of them do look a little alike, and they seem to be somewhat related." Chen Pi looked at Zhao Qingshi, who was sitting a little stiffly opposite him, and smiled secretly in his heart.

"Qingshi, let's talk about the secret recipe that can crack the catalytic effect of demon qi, this is the long-awaited good news." After Tian Songzi concisely introduced Zhao Qingshi to Chen Pi, he immediately got back to business.

"I also just received the news that came from you, this is your Qingcheng disciple from an inconspicuous book in the sect accidentally discovered, it records the process of your elders in the sect healing a human who was catalyzed by demonic qi three thousand years ago, there is this secret recipe, I have already seen it, its raw materials are not unusual except for the main medicine licorice, with this secret recipe, our research work will be greatly accelerated, maybe another month to find an effective cure for the plague." As soon as he talked about his bank, Zhao Qingshi immediately swept away Fang Cai's restrained look and said with a bright face.

"Licorice? Is it the one that can extract hay acid, which is used to improve the body's anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, antihypertensive, enhance body immunity, improve physiological functions, inhibit the growth of cancer cells, etc., and is called fairy grass and divine grass by many countries? Chen Pi's brows furrowed slightly, revealing a hint of melancholy.

"Yes, that's it." Zhao Qingshi immediately affirmed the statement of tangerine peel, and said excitedly, "For large-scale infectious diseases, licorice has a very unique curative effect, and according to my analysis of the records in the classics, a kind of root and rhizome in licorice is relatively solid, and some branches, the skin is fine and not rough, gray, and the skin pores are small and not obvious. ”
