At the same time, the Holy City also issued a plague warning to the Aila Empire, urging the Aila Empire to pay attention to the situation of the refugees and also requesting that the Aila Empire send supplies, as these were the Aila Empire's own people.
After receiving the warning, the Aila Empire first dealt with other areas and found that the plague had not occurred elsewhere; the outbreak point was only in the Holy City. Of course, they did not let their guard down.
Then they sent people over to deliver supplies, but this would happen after Ye Lang. Since the Holy City had already taken over, there was no need to rush.
Because of such a terrifying experience, these people would never allow anyone to go out casually, so Ye Lang's appearance naturally became the focus.
"This..." Alvin did not answer, because he felt that if Ye Lang wanted to leave, he would be happy, so why should he stop him?
At this moment, Ye Lang said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, we won't go out. I'll find out what this disease is."
At this moment, everyone saw that Ye Lang was still holding the infected person's hand, taking their pulse and checking their condition.
"What do you think you can find out? My teacher has been investigating for so many days and still hasn't found anything. You've only been here a short while. Who do you think you are?" A doctor nearby said disdainfully.
"My name is Ye Lang!" Ye Lang replied, as if he felt the other person was asking who he was.
"..." Everyone fell silent.
Their conversation should have continued, but at that moment, something happened—an emergency signal—caused everyone to gather towards the entrance.
Not only these people, but all the Holy Church members inside the barrier began to drop what they were doing and start gathering towards the entrance.
"??"
This situation attracted everyone's attention, and no one understood what had happened. Ye Lang also had to pay attention, because the patient he was looking at was also curious.
Soon, the answer became clear: these people were beginning to retreat!
"They're abandoning us!!"
Within the barrier, similar shouts filled the air for a moment, and the entire scene erupted in excitement.
Although they had anticipated that such a thing would happen, they never imagined it would actually happen. At this point, they found themselves unable to accept the fact.
Am I really going to wait here to die?
"Don't abandon us!!"
Those infected who could still walk shouted and rushed towards the entrance...
"Everyone, please be quiet!!" At this moment, a clergyman shouted, his voice carrying a sacred and solemn air!
"This guy must be a Charlatan!" Ye Lang said to Alvin beside him.
"Yes!" Alvin agreed.
The reason he's Charlatan is simple: after he spoke, the whole room fell silent, clearly indicating that he's an expert in this field.
Then, this Charlatan started to deceive people, describing the Holy Church as very great and portraying the isolated infected as heroes, which made people's blood boil.
Then, he explained that all of them would be evacuated, but they would not abandon the infected people who had been isolated, and would continue to find ways to help them, asking everyone to wait patiently.
Not to mention that some of these people are originally believers of the Holy City, even those who aren't have been completely fooled by this Charlatan and would be willing to die for him now.
The Charlatan spoke for about half an hour before ending the session, and the members of the Holy Church began to evacuate, while the infected, still in a state of high spirits, even cheered him on.
At this moment, Alvin finally understood how powerful language was, more lethal than any weapon, and how Human Race could wield it to its fullest potential.
"Charlatan, don't go yet! Where are the people who were infected?" Ye Lang shouted.
"What infected people? What are you talking about?" The Charlatan stopped, forgetting to reprimand Ye Lang for calling him Charlatan.
"If you weren't infected, why did you suddenly quit? Tell me where you are, I want to see your condition. It's easier to find the cause of infection if someone has just been infected." Ye Lang stated what he wanted directly.
Ye Lang's words made the Charlatan's face change color. He hadn't mentioned this reason before because he was afraid that the people present would understand that he had been abandoned because some of the doctors had started to get infected, so the doctors had given up, at least until the corresponding preventive measures were in place.
"That's not true, we were just..." The Charlatan tried to say something, but Ye Lang interrupted him.
"Don't lie to me. If you dare to joke with the lives of these tens of thousands of people, I will fill your entire Holy City with plague. Don't doubt that I can do it!" Ye Lang's voice suddenly turned cold, like a knife held against the Charlatan.
The Charlatan's expression changed, and then he did something: he ran away!
At this moment, everyone in the Holy City had left, and the Charlatan was at the door. He stepped out and shouted to the alchemist outside.
"Close the door!"
"Don't want!!"
By this time, the people inside had realized that the plague was too severe, infecting even the doctors who might be their own. The doctors had given up, and the Holy City had also given up.
They're here now, just waiting to die!
They gathered at the doorway, shouting outside. Although the barrier isolated the space, it did not block sound; the sounds inside could be clearly heard outside.
The doctors outside turned away, a pang of pity on their faces, and one of them couldn't help but shed a tear for the person inside!
Perhaps it was this single tear that saved them, making Ye Lang realize that these people still had a conscience. After all, everyone is afraid of death, and those who are even more afraid of death have no value whatsoever.
These people still can't find a solution and have lost all hope!
Ye Lang arrived at the gate and shouted at the shouting crowd, "Get to the back! I'm still here, you're not so easy to kill!"
Everyone was stunned and looked at Ye Lang, wondering who this boy wearing a bandit mask was and how he dared to say such things. Even the people of the Holy City couldn't do anything about it, so how could he?
"Can... can you heal us?" someone asked Ye Lang weakly, as if this was their last hope.
"Okay, it's just a matter of time. Everyone go to the back. I still have things to say to this Charlatan!" Ye Lang nodded, offering everyone their last lifeline. At this moment, even if Ye Lang was their lifeline, he could still make them feel at ease.
So, these people obediently went to the back and let Ye Lang come to the main gate to talk to the Charlatan outside.
