Eternal River City had been rife with rumors.
Put simply, the politicians of the Central Council clung to their power and did not want the Medical Department to enter, even if it brought advanced medical technology with it.
In this era of resurgent disease transformation, not even the Six Nations were safe. People placed their hopes in the Medical Department, because only the Medical Department was the great morning star of the pestilence-ridden world.
[Those damned politicians disregard the safety of Xuanyuan's people for their own selfish desires.]
This was the best example. A strange pestilence had appeared in Eternal River City, yet Xuanyuan's official epidemic prevention personnel had no ability to resist it. For a time, the panic among the populace became a kind of opportunity.
Wen Qilin was, after all, a formal-ranked Plague Exterminator. Though he had left the front lines many years ago, he still retained his instincts.
Faced with the terrifying Granulomatous Inflammation pestilence, Wen Qilin retreated in disarray.
"Disease Calamity level!"
"It's Disease Calamity level!"
A chill ran through Wen Qilin's heart.
Pestilences of this level should never have appeared in a bustling city.
Those powerful disease-transformed auras easily sucked in the ordinary civilians around them.
In an incredibly short time, the faces of those civilians appeared within the holes on the pestilence's body. Their expressions were twisted and horrifying, as though they were whimpering in agony.
At the same time, the pestilence's power continued to rise.
RUMBLE!!!
Wen Qilin's body rapidly underwent disease transformation.
His body was no longer what it had been in his prime. He had no way to escape the disease-transformed zone.
Here... there was nothing left but screams.
"Help!!"
"Help!!"
"Someone save us!!"
"Where's the government?"
"Where's Xuanyuan's Central Council?"
"I don't want to die!!"
The cries rose and fell
