December 23, 2015, 6 p.m. sharp

Just as Xu Hao was trying his best to absorb the vitality in the source stone, a young woman of about twenty-five years old held her 3-year-old son in her arms and ran into the S Central People's Hospital with a look of panic and worry on her face.

In the emergency room, Chen Mingtang, who was dressed in a white coat, looked at the boy lying on the hospital bed with a solemn face and frowned.

I saw that the boy about 3 years old was coughing constantly, his face was red, his breathing was short, and he kept shouting with weakness in his mouth: "Headache!" Mom, my head hurts..."

The most bizarre thing is that on his bare skin, there are large dark red traces, like lumps, and the originally pink and cute little chubby face looks shocking at the moment.

"Doctor, what the hell is wrong with my son? It was fine at noon, but suddenly it became like this..."The young woman stood aside, looking at her son, her face full of anxiety and distress.

Chen Mingtang pushed his glasses, secretly surprised in his heart, he could be sure that he had practiced medicine for many years and had never encountered a patient with such symptoms.

Not long ago, he took the boy's body temperature with his own hands, and the result actually reached an astonishing 40 degrees, and it is still rising.

He also clearly saw a dark red scar on the boy's skin, which was spreading...

The illness of the boy in front of him is by no means explained by an ordinary headache and fever.

For a while, he used to be a medical doctoral supervisor, but he was helpless.

"Doctor, please, save my son..."The young woman was infected by the solemn look on Chen Mingtang's face, and her heart became more and more worried and frightened, and she looked at Chen Mingtang with an almost pleading gaze, and sobbed.

After all, after practicing medicine for more than ten years, Chen Mingtang quickly regained his calm, settled down, and said with a slight smile: "Don't worry, it's just that the body temperature is a little higher now, first prescribe some antipyretics, stay in the hospital for three days for observation, and we will take good care of him." ”

"Can my son's illness be cured?" The young woman was still restless.

"Don't worry, there will be a way." Chen Mingtang responded calmly on the surface, but he had a hint of foreboding in his heart.

When the young woman left the emergency room to grab medicine as he instructed, Chen Mingtang immediately called Zhang Tiandao, the vice president and one of the well-known professors of internal medicine in China.

After listening to his report, Zhang Tiandao immediately rushed over, personally looked at the boy's illness, also frowned, and said solemnly: "Immediately transfer to the intensive care ward for sterile isolation!" ”

To the surprise of Zhang Tiandao and Chen Mingtang, when they convened the hospital's experienced surgeons and surgeons to discuss a plan to treat the boy, a number of citizens with the same condition came to the hospital for treatment.

At first, there were only a dozen patients, but by 8 o'clock in the evening, more than 200 patients with the same condition had entered the S Central People's Hospital for treatment.

As if it was contagious, even some hospital workers suddenly contracted this strange disease.

The same thing happened all over the world, and in less than three hours, tens of thousands of people were infected with this strange disease.

At first, it was just a headache and fever, and unknown blood clots appeared on the body, but gradually, those dark red blood clots became more and more, and the color became darker and darker, until they spread everywhere in the body.

By the next day, those with severe symptoms had already begun to cough up dark red blood!

Even, their skin has become dark and has begun to fester!

More and more people are infected, and in an unstoppable situation, from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, millions...

Hospitals around the world are completely full, but many experienced medical experts have not been able to find a solution to this disease.

Some scientists have found the cause in the red fog that pervades the city, believing it to contain a supercell that can infect humans, and they have named the pathogen they carry "red fog virus".

As long as people inhale this red mist, they can get this strange disease.

Scientists are distressed that they don't know exactly what kind of people will be infected by this super bacterium, and all the people who get sick have no warning beforehand.

The only good thing is that the disease is not contagious.

To the embarrassment of many experts, not only can they not find a way to treat this strange disease, but they cannot even find the least way to delay the progression of the patient's condition.

So much so that by noon the next day, there were already patients who had died.

Overnight, from the dignitaries to the rural people, countless life and death partings and family ruins are constantly being staged all over the world...

The Red Mist Virus has completely broken out!

The panic has spread completely...

……

Four days later

"CCTV, CCTV, all the audience friends in front of the TV, here is the live broadcast report brought to you by CCTV, I am the host Liang Dongsheng, now let's connect with foreign correspondent Zhang Xiaoru... Hello Xiaoru, can you tell us about the current situation in Tokyo? ”

"Hello host, my current location is the Meisei Center in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, where a demonstration of more than 30,000 people has just taken place, during which citizens smashed shops, burned cars, and had a series of fierce confrontations with riot police..."

"So far, the incident has killed at least 120 people and injured more than 2,000 people, including many people infected with the red fog virus..."

"The citizens of Tokyo have strongly complained about the government's inaction, saying that scientists around the world have become decorations in the face of the red fog virus!"

"Zizizi... Zizizi..."

Host: "Due to the bad signal, we transferred the live channel to Cheng Fei, a front-line reporter stationed abroad in Washington. Hello, Cheng Fei, could you please report on the specific situation of the current violence in the White House in Washington? ”

"Okay, host. There are still a lot of people gathered outside Pennsylvania Avenue, and you can see that the government has sent a large number of police to confront the demonstrators. White House representative James Bond warned citizens to remain calm and not to be seduced by lawbreakers...... Zizizi..."

The image of the screen blurred again.

Host: "Okay, let's go back to the live broadcast room. Four days have passed since the outbreak of the Red Mist Virus, and so far, more than 7 million people have died worldwide, and nearly 1.2 million people have died in China alone..."

"There have been more than 300 malicious smashing and demonstrations across the country, some citizens have lost their minds and are smashing, looting and burning regardless of the consequences, and the government has dispatched troops to maintain order..."

"The General Secretary of the Central Committee issued a statement calling on the people to remain calm, and the government must do its best to find a way to treat patients infected with the red fog virus... The more difficult the situation, the more we must work together to survive this existential disaster! ”

"Whoa..."

Moderator: "Wait a minute, we'll come back after the ad and focus on the main events in various parts of the country." ”

……

Turning off the TV, Xu Hao sat on the sofa and ate the breakfast he cooked.

It's been four days since he received the Demon Hunting Crest.

For four days, no matter what happened outside. He has been staying in the house, except for eating and sleeping, the rest of the time is used to absorb the source stone and open up new dantian air pockets.

So far, he has consumed more than seventy source stones. The second and third dantian air pockets were successfully opened.

Opening up the second air pocket consumed twenty source stones, opening the third air pocket was fifty, and to open the fourth air pocket, at least one hundred source stones were consumed.

Now that there was not much time left for the Red Mist Virus infected to completely demonize into a killing machine, Xu Hao knew that he had no time to open up the fourth dantian air pocket.

Moreover, he couldn't completely use up the source stones in his hands, and had to leave some to replenish the vitality consumed during the battle in the future.

"Well, three air pockets have three Yuan Qi Energies, which is enough for me."

Xu Hao is full of confidence, with his attainments in archery in his previous life, coupled with a burst of vitality, as long as he hits the vital point, it is enough to kill a demonized creature at one time.

Three Yuan Qi Amounts, as long as he was careful, was enough for him to kill three demonized creatures.

And as long as he didn't face more than two demonized creatures at the same time, Xu Hao had the confidence to retreat with his whole body.

Glancing at the remaining source stones in the storage space, there were 28 in total, and he planned to absorb 8 more, leaving 20 source stones to use to replenish vitality.

Just as he sat down on the ground again, ready to start absorbing the vitality in the source stone, a series of fierce gunshots suddenly came from outside-
