Text Chapter 694 Hope or Despair
Jiang Feng and the others came to the land of the West Valley, they didn't know it, they were scared when they went, there were many snakes' nests here. After the first round of investigation, 34 different species of snakes have been found. And there is one that looks very similar to the spirit snake, but the color and pattern are very different.
The deputy village chief also saw this snake for the first time, and it can be said that he was extremely surprised.
The accompanying medical personnel extracted the body fluids of the snakes and found that among them there was actually a virus that caused the plague, but the content was relatively low.
Medical personnel collected the snake's serum and injected the sick person, but unfortunately it had no effect.
It seems that serum alone cannot completely kill those viruses.
Everyone had no choice but to continue the investigation, and after that, everyone followed the snake's nest until they went deep into a cave.
The cave is intricate and extends in all directions, with many small snakes roaming.
Jiang Feng guessed that there must be something wrong with this cave, and the Great Protector would definitely leave some clues here. But no matter how much we investigated, we still didn't find anything suspicious.
After a whole night of hard work, everyone got nothing and returned in vain.
And in the village, almost every few minutes, someone dies of illness, and the air of despair envelops the whole village.
In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Feng, who hadn't slept all night, looked at Bai Shuilan who was unconscious, and his heart ached. To make matters worse, Yoyo's condition has also begun to worsen, and she now has to stay in bed.
And Jiang Feng's body was also very tired, he had not rested for a day and a night. Moreover, in order not to be infected with diseases, Jiang Feng has always maintained a relatively high strength value. If Jiang Feng wasn't strong enough, his body would have collapsed long ago.
All kinds of things were getting worse, but Jiang Feng didn't give up, he went to the deputy village chief again, and asked to continue searching the snake's nest. But the deputy village chief's face was sad and desperate: "Many of the guards have given up, and many of them are sick, and now they have no strength at all, and they all want to have a good rest." ”
"How many more people can there be?"
"I don't know." The deputy village chief said bitterly.
"So did you give up?"
"You haven't given up yet, how can I give up."
"Okay, then let's go ahead and gather people, as many as we can."
In this way, the deputy village chief broadcast to everyone and said a lot of sensational words, but in the end, only two or three hundred guards were present, but in addition to the guards, there were more than two hundred villagers, who did not want to give up, they hoped to find an antidote and save their families.
Village Chief Wu Lan secretly watched everything Jiang Feng had done, and his heart became very entangled. First of all, the village chief hated Jiang Feng, and he felt that it was Jiang Feng who took away everyone's hope. However, the village chief could now feel Jiang Feng's desire to save everyone, and he knew that Izuku Jiang Feng had been working hard, even if most of the people had given up, he would not flinch.
Although he was a little moved in his heart, the village chief still didn't show up officially to say anything to Jiang Feng, he still felt that what Jiang Feng did was useless.
In this way, Jiang Feng led more than 500 people to the West Valley Snake Nest again.
Another day of investigation, Jiang Feng still found nothing, and things got worse and worse. Of the more than 500 people who followed Jiang Feng, more than 300 were not infected, but when they went to the snake's nest, more than 200 of these 300 people were infected.
On this day, the little hope that was left completely withered.
After that, on the third day, there were only 45 people left who were willing to follow Jiang Feng to Xigu to investigate.
Jiang Feng looked at their haggard faces and felt extremely distressed.
"Forget it, don't go, just let me go." Jiang Feng's eyes were extremely sad.
"No, one more person, one more power." One of the middle-aged men shouted.
Jiang Feng walked up to the middle-aged man and asked, "Aren't you afraid of getting sick?" ”
"It's a very contagious disease, and even if you stay here, it's not necessarily safe. So I'm willing to go with you to the West Valley and continue the investigation. ”
"Aren't you afraid that this is useless work?"
"It doesn't matter if it's anymore. I'd rather do something than watch my family die. ”
Hearing these words, Jiang Feng's heart was extremely moved. However, there was little hope left in Jiang Feng's heart, and he didn't want to watch them go deep into the dangerous place anymore.
"Thank you, thank you. However, you should go and spend time with your family, don't worry, I will continue to work hard. Jiang Feng shook hands with the middle-aged man.
In this way, Jiang Feng rejected these 45 people, and he planned to go alone.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a louder voice sounded.
Jiang Feng turned his head and actually saw the village chief Wu Lan.
"Is that you?" Jiang Feng was a little curious.
"The deputy village chief is very sick, and he has no strength, so I will replace the deputy village chief. After all, one more person means one more strength. ”
"You...... Don't you hate me? ”
"Hate or not, the plague in the village will not disappear automatically. If there is still hope, even if it is only a glimmer of hope, what should I do as the village head? ”
"Do you really think so?" Jiang Feng's mood was a little excited.
"Let's go, we're going to fight for every minute."
"Well, if you want to, you can continue to contribute." Jiang Feng shouted to everyone.
The 45 people raised their hands and shouted, "Good! ”
Jiang Feng's eyes were filled with tears of emotion. To be honest, Jiang Feng was actually almost desperate, but now, he felt that there was still hope.
Jiang Feng took these 45 people and marched towards the West Valley with the village chief Wu Lan.
At the exit of the village, there was a man sitting on a stone, hunched over his waist. If you look closely, it turns out to be Liushui.
Jiang Feng hurriedly ran over and asked, "Why are you here?" Why not take a break? ”
Liushui replied in a weak voice: "I've been thinking about it for a long time in the past two days, and I agree with your point of view, the West Valley Snake Nest is likely to have a problem, so I'll go with you this time." ”
"But you're so weak, can you stand the toss?"
"Today, I can barely use the ability, but tomorrow, I'll probably be useless. So no matter what my body is, I have to make a final attempt. ”
"Do you think the Snake Nest in the West Valley has illusions?" Jiang Feng asked.
"I don't rule it out."
"But didn't you say that before? If the Great Protector dies, then all illusions he casts will disappear. ”
"Normally, this is true, but there may be some illusion that will not disappear even if the caster dies. Besides, the old man of the Great Protector, although his combat power is low, his illusion ability is really good. ”
"Okay, then today, it's the last game."
"By the way, I may not be able to walk......"
Without waiting for Liushui to finish speaking, Wu Lan, the village chief, took the initiative to come to Liushui: "I hurt you before, I feel guilty, today, I will carry you." ”
Liushui hesitated for a few seconds, and finally replied, "Okay." ”
In this way, Jiang Feng and the others entered the Snake's Lair Cave again.
Miraculously, Liushui really sensed the existence of illusion.
"Jiang Feng, I can feel the existence of the illusion, but I can't determine the specific location, you take me to some suspicious locations." Liushui weakened the road.
After that, Jiang Feng took Liushui to 7 different suspicious points, but to no avail.
"Ahem, cough, cough ......" Liushui coughed up a lot of blood.
A medical staff looked at Liushui and said nervously: "Oh no, he's dying, he can't hold on." ”
Liushui left unwilling tears, and said to Jiang Feng resentfully: "Is there any place else?" Is there any other place? I'm not reconciled, I'm not willing to die like this. ”
"Yes, there's one final place."
This so-called last place actually has the least doubts, but Jiang Feng has no choice now, and now he can only make a desperate bet.
Ten minutes later, Liushui arrived in front of a tall wall.
Liushui put his hand on the wall, and suddenly, Liushui's eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly: "Found it, found it, that's it." ”
"Wow, ah, ah, ah......" Liushui used his last strength to use his ability to dispel the illusion in front of him.
"Hiss hiss......" The huge wall gradually dissolved into a puff of smoke.
But when the smoke cleared, a stone house was found.
"Hurry in and search." Jiang Feng led the men and rushed into the stone house.
After entering the stone house, he found a large laboratory, which was full of various experimental supplies. Not only that, but there are many cages with all kinds of snakes in the cages, many of which have died, and some of them are constantly sticking their tongues out at people.
"This is the laboratory where the Great Protector studies the virus, hurry up, look for it, the antidote should be here." Jiang Feng shouted.
The paramedics immediately began a variety of searches, and then began the trial on the spot.
After hours of hard work, the paramedics finally found a reagent. As you can see from the microscope, this reagent can inhibit the activity of the virus.
This should be the antidote.
The paramedics immediately began to study the composition of the reagent, and in the evening of the same day began to manufacture the antidote in large quantities.
That night, the antidote began to be delivered to the village in batches.
The people in the village were injected with antidotes, and a small number of people began to improve, and the villagers suddenly saw hope.
In the middle of the night, Jiang Feng returned to Yoyo's house and injected the antidote for Bai Shuilan and Lias.
After the injection, Jiang Feng sat beside Bai Shuilan and guarded her.
About an hour later, there was a commotion in the village, and there were many people who reacted that the antidote was useless.
Another hour later, the researcher came to Youyou's house and reported to Jiang Feng: "The antidote is not strong enough, he can only inhibit the activity of the virus." But after a while, the virus began to activate again. ”
"You mean the antidote didn't work?"
"I specifically studied the virus that caused the plague in the past, and this antidote can completely kill that virus, but it can't kill the current virus. In other words, the current viruses are the original viruses that evolved to produce them, and they are no longer afraid of antidotes. ”
The researcher's words were like a bolt of lightning, slashing Jiang Feng's heart.
After that, the village fell into commotion and despair.
And Jiang Feng was also in despair, and he couldn't see any hope.
Jiang Feng stood next to Bai Shuilan, holding her blistered arm.
This arm, which was white and flawless, was as soft as water, but now it has blisters with pus and blood.
Tick, tick, tick......
Jiang Feng's tears kept falling......
"I'm sorry, girl, I can't save you, I'm sorry ......"
Jiang Feng cried in despair, and the tears flowed down the blister.
This night, Jiang Feng closed his eyes and lay down beside Bai Shuilan.
Jiang Feng, I'm so tired, I haven't slept for three days, I'm too tired......
The screen goes black...... Everything fell silent......
After a long time, Jiang Feng was woken up by a burst of calls.
"Jiang Feng, Jiang Feng, wake up, wake up, wake up......"
