Chapter 61
I'm unsure whether to continue the operation.
Because this group of people involved in the Reunion Movement were also cured without any further explanation.
Their treatment speed has far exceeded the speed at which the Infected are arriving here.
Angela has gone all out, not only investing all her research and development resources to the maximum, but also nearly filling a warehouse with raw materials for the drug.
"Drink it." 049 had already handed her a vial of medicine.
Misha instinctively stepped back, but Xiao Huasheng firmly held her shoulder down.
"I... I can't..." Her voice trailed off as she caught a glimpse of the Reunion Movement members quietly retreating, seemingly to report a message.
"No, what do you mean no!" Xiao Huasheng snatched the medicine, grabbed Misha's chin, and forced it down her throat.
The bitter liquid slid down her throat, Misha coughed violently.
049's hand was already on her neck.
A bone-chilling cold swept over her, Misha was horrified to discover that the crystals on her body were rapidly melting away.
Even more frightening is that her special ability to resonate with Originium is also rapidly fading.
"Ah?!"
You are healthy!
Xiao Huasheng waved his hand dismissively.
They let Misha go without hesitation.
Misha was inexplicably cured, and she felt a little unreal standing on the street.
She stared blankly at the grateful the Infected around her, then glanced at the Originium that had disappeared from her body.
Is this still Terra? Where did she get it?
Where did this miracle doctor come from!
What are you doing?!
All that was left in Misha's mind was crazy complaints.
The frantic rescue efforts for the Infected quickly attracted the attention of the Lungmen Guard Department.
Hehehe!
"What are you doing! Get out of the way!" The sirens of the Lungmen Guard Department grew louder as a squad of fully armed officers roughly pushed through the crowd.
Superintendent Chen, the lead officer, gripped his sword, his brow furrowed. "We received a report of an illegal gathering here. All the Infected, disperse immediately..."
Her words suddenly caught in her throat.
Instead of fleeing, the Infected linked arms and formed a human wall, firmly blocking her and the police officers outside.
Even more bizarrely, these people all had ecstatic smiles on their faces, and some even made faces at the Lungmen Guard Department.
"You've gone too far!" Hoshiguma raised his Prajna shield and was about to charge forward when he was stopped by a thin old woman.
"We're not the Infected!" The old woman chuckled, lifting the hem of her clothes to reveal her smooth belly. "You can't treat us like this!"
Chen's pupils contracted sharply.
Did all the Infected in the slum turn into healthy people?
A young police officer suddenly exclaimed, "Hey, you with the bird-beak mask! Don't run!!"
Clearly, these two are the culprits.
Xiao Huasheng and the Quack Doctor grabbed the stall and ran for their lives.
He looks exactly like the guy who got caught by the city management officers for selling fake medicine.
Regardless of whether anything happens or not.
None of them can be related to the Lungmen Guard Department, otherwise it will be extremely troublesome.
"Shut up!" The old man, who had been weak just moments before, suddenly sprang to his feet, covering the officer's mouth. "That's our savior! Who dares to touch him!"
The crowd erupted in cheers.
The newly recovered the Infected... no, they're ordinary citizens now, and they surrounded the Lungmen Guard Department members in a fit of rage.
Each one is more exciting than the last.
"We are no longer the Infected!"
"Get out of the Lungmen Guard Department!"
"Protect the miracle doctor!"
Chen was so shocked by this sudden turn of events that he was speechless.
She watched helplessly as the beaked doctor ran away.
Even more frightening, she noticed that several Reunion Movement members who were originally on the wanted list were now mixed in with the crowd, raising their hands and cheering.
"Old Chen..." Hoshiguma leaned closer and whispered, "Something's not right. Should we call for backup?"
Chen Gang was about to nod when a familiar figure suddenly ran past him.
Misha?
To her shock, however, Chen sensed no Originium reaction from Misha.
She blended into the crowd and fled quickly!
"Stop her! Grab her!"
Chen immediately shouted.
Law enforcement is compassionate, but the use of batons is forceful.
Five-Strike Lightning Whip!
The prerequisite is that you can swing it.
Just as the Lungmen Guard Department was trying to get away with it, they found that more and more people were blocking their way.
In the chaos, Xiao Huasheng and 049 used the crowd as cover to move quickly through the area.
Just as the two were about to break out of the encirclement, 049 suddenly braked sharply, and Xiao Huasheng almost hit his back.
"There's another patient here..."
"Huh?" Xiao Huasheng looked at him. "Why don't we leave first?"
"No," the Quack Doctor refused.
He couldn't tolerate any of the patients.
Quack Doctor spoke, he looked at Chen, who was confronting the crowd.
Chen Huiye was struggling to push through the crowd when she suddenly felt her tail being pinched hard.
"Who?!" She turned around abruptly, only to be confronted by the Quack Doctor's bird-beak mask, which was right in front of her.
If it didn't have a tail, the Quack Doctor would have touched the buttocks instead.
This is also thanks to Chen's long tail.
The Quack Doctor touched her tail; it felt slippery.
"I won't mess with you! You've really gone too far!"
Chen roared in fury; she had never suffered such a humiliating disgrace!
But then she saw the red strands of hair of the white-beaked hooded Angel next to the black-robed, bird-beaked doctor.
Before Chen could react...
The figure vanished in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Huasheng immediately disappeared, grabbed the Quack Doctor, and ran away on the spot.
Upon witnessing this scene...
She became suspicious and uncertain.
Just as the Lungmen Guard Department was about to forcefully start wielding batons, Chen stopped them.
"Wait a minute... I think we need to find out what happened."
Chapter 18: The underlying logic has been triggered [1 update]
The news that a large number of the Infected had recovered and could then enter Upper City without any testing spread like wildfire among many people.
Oripathy, an incurable and contagious disease that is fatal once contracted, is something that everyone fears.
The Terra do not understand the truth about Originium, nor do they know its meaning.
All they knew was that Originium the Infected died a gruesome death, leaving not even a corpse behind; their entire bodies were pulverized.
Therefore, when news broke that someone could cure Oripathy.
This almost caused a boiling point.
"I heard that many infected people have been cured? How many are there?" At this moment, Rat King Lin Ge Rui asked his daughter.
"There are many of them. They all rushed to the Upper City. It is said that they were cured by a Laterano and a bird-beaked doctor of unknown race." Lin Yuhsia said, obviously she had also received this news.
"This is truly... big news," the Rat King muttered to himself.
This news is undoubtedly one that could cause global unrest.
"Is Oripathy cured?"
These words exploded like a bomb in the dark alleyways of the Lower City Lungmen.
At first, it was just a few ragged the Infected whispering to each other, but in less than half a day, the news had spread like wildfire throughout the slum.
As the godfather who has controlled the Lungmen underworld for decades, he understands better than anyone what this means.
Oripathy is a major constraint on maintaining the existing order; once this constraint is broken...
The consequences were unforeseen by anyone.
"Father, do we need to take action?" Lin Yuhsia asked, her young face filled with worry. "If those the Infected are no longer threatened by the disease, they will surely be accepted, won't they?"
"Yes," the Rat King, but a deeper worry appeared on his face. "This might make things even worse."
The Rat King was a master of balance; when that balance was broken, the world would undergo a dramatic transformation.
Even earlier, further back in time, the previous generation, or even the generation before that, brutally separated the people to maintain their rule.
As long as everyone is divided into the Infected and non- the Infected.
They are inherently contradictory.
When those below are busy fighting amongst themselves, the ruling class can naturally rest easy.
This is why, over the years, only one Reunion Movement has emerged.
If this most obvious point is erased, everyone will realize that what they are fighting is not the Infected themselves, but that elusive and intangible existence.
Then, the tide of resistance will rise and descend upon this world in an indescribable way.
Without a doubt, Xiao Huasheng and the Quack Doctor brought about a complete reform to the world.
Meanwhile, the headquarters of the Lungmen Guard Department was brightly lit.
Chen Huiye stood in front of the tactical screen, her expression complex.
She doesn't have Oripathy, without a doubt.
She could no longer feel those stones; all she felt was an empty, healthy body.
Everyone assumed Chen was worried about the recovered the Infected.
Behind her, the special inspection team members dared not utter a sound.
"Has it been verified?" Chen's voice was as cold as ice.
"Yes." Hoshiguma handed over a report. "We secretly tested twenty the Infected who claimed to have been cured. The Originium crystals in their bodies have indeed disappeared, and their blood tests were negative. This is not a hoax."
"Does he... know?" Chen said slowly, clearly referring to Wei Yenwu.
"Um."
