You Say You Can Cure Them?

Zhao Zilong, with red eyes, looked at Qin Shan and said:

"General Qin, I don't know why this happened. This plague came very suddenly and is very serious."

But I have already isolated all those who have contracted the plague.

The people outside are all free of the plague, but everyone inside has contracted it.

However, I would like to ask the general for more time, as the military doctors are currently developing a strategy...

Qin Shan rolled his eyes and said, "What is plague? Don't you know? Plague is incurable."

Zhao Zilong knelt on the ground, weeping bitterly, and said, "But I still have thousands of brothers inside, I can't abandon them."

Looking at his burly figure, Qin Shan said speechlessly, "You're such a grown man, what's there to cry about? Alright, open this door."

Zhao Zilong shook his head and said, "We can't open it. If we do, even more people will die. I can't do that."

Qin Shan rolled his eyes and said, "Fine, whatever you want!"

Zhao Zilong is a bit stubborn; the Old Scholar Tree and the Old Ancestor had already jumped into this Crushed Stone Fort.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the Crushed Stone Fort and said, "These are all thatched huts, how shabby!"

Moreover, there was no sound at all from Crushed Corpse Fort; the streets were all muddy and full of potholes.

Walking down the street, there wasn't a sound around me.

Zhou Wanwan frowned and asked, "What exactly happened? Are they all dead?"

Suddenly, a tree nearby hummed in response, "Ah! A ghost!"

Zhou Wanwan rolled her eyes and said, "What the hell?"

The surrounding trees seemed to awaken, staring at Zhou Wanwan and saying, "You... what are you if not a ghost? Everyone here is gathered in the village; there's nobody outside right now."

Zhou Wanwan asked, "How many people are in this Crushed Stone Fort?"

The trees said, "Crushed Stone Fort has 20 villages, each with over a thousand people, totaling thirty to forty thousand!"

Zhou Wanwan nodded and said, "They all got the plague?"

The trees nodded and said:

"They all got the plague, and many died. Now they are all in the village and are not allowed to leave."

The entire outer perimeter is staffed with doctors and soldiers, so there's no one here at night.

Zhou Wanwan said, "Could you please take us to the village over there?"

The trees looked terrified and said:

How can we, the trees, send you there?

Wait a minute! How can you walk on those trees behind you?

Zhou Wanwan replenished their spiritual energy, and soon they were able to walk. The trees exclaimed in astonishment, "Wow, this is amazing! We can actually walk!"

They led Zhou Wanwan to the first village, which was deathly still. As Zhou Wanwan entered the village, she saw corpses scattered all over the ground.

Zhou Wanwan frowned, when suddenly a man saw her and exclaimed in alarm, "Little girl, whose child are you? What are you doing here?"

Zhou Wanwan asked, "Have you contracted the plague? Could you take me to see the sick people in the village?"

The man felt a pang of pity and said:

"Little girl, you're just a child, don't get involved in these things, go on your way!"

The people of Crushed Stone Fort are doomed. You have no idea how many have died. More than 30 people have died in our village alone.

"I can save them." Zhou Wanwan looked at him.

The man looked at Zhou Wanwan in surprise and said, "You say you can save them?"

"Yes, don't waste time, take me there quickly."

The man quickly led them deeper into the village, saying, "There are still more than 30 people in our village who haven't contracted the plague. We've been taking care of them these past few days."

Zhou Wanwan nodded and quickly went into the house, which was full of plague patients, all of whom were lying on the Ula grass.

Zhou Wanwan said softly, "Uncle Scholar Tree, let's begin!"

They worked together, with Zhou Wanwan using medicinal herbs to treat their bodies, while the Old Scholar Tree, the Old Ancestor, and other trees helped them cleanse their bodies of toxins.

These trees can precisely control these toxins, drawing them out and then collecting them together for later use.

It took an hour for the villagers to slowly open their eyes.

The man exclaimed with delight, "He's alive! He's really alive! You're truly a living Buddha!"

The man immediately knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Thank you for saving the lives of our entire village!"

Zhou Wanwan didn't linger and continued on to other villages.

Within two days, all those who had been reported were cured, and all the corpses contaminated with the plague were disposed of.

Zhou Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. The Old Scholar Tree said, "Wanwan, hurry home and get some sleep! You're exhausted."

Zhou Wanwan said:

"Uncle Scholar Tree, tonight you must deliver the plague to Lin Bahu, the governor of the Great Qi border."

Doesn't he like the plague? Let him play with it.

The Old Scholar Tree nodded and went out under the cover of night.

Soon, it entered Lin Bahu's military camp.

Lin Bahu was sleeping. The Old Scholar Tree only needed to squeeze out some venom from its roots. This black venom was highly toxic.

It went around and emptied Lin Bahu's camp.

The next day, Lin Bahu woke up and felt something was wrong; he discovered that all his gold and silver treasures were gone.

More than twenty boxes disappeared just like that.

He roared, "Who did this? How dare they trespass into our camp at night? They're incredibly audacious! Men, investigate!"

A subordinate came in and asked, "General, what happened?"

Lin Bahu glared at them and said, "You slept outside last night, didn't you notice anything unusual?"

His men shook their heads. Lin Bahu clenched his fists and said, "Damn it, a bunch of useless trash. You can't even guard a single item. What use are you?"

He led a group of people outside, but after searching for a whole day, they found no clues.

He was so angry that he fell ill. At first, he only had a fever, but after the army doctor examined him, he realized something was wrong. "This is not right! This... this is not an ordinary fever, this is the plague!"

The army doctor trembled with fear. Lin Bahu looked at him and said, "Plague? What plague?"

The military doctor said tremblingly:

"General, what you are suffering from is not a fever, but the plague, which is highly contagious and has a very high mortality rate."

I... I'm afraid I can't be cured.

"Ridiculous, how could it be the plague?"

After more than a dozen military doctors examined him, they all concluded that he had the plague.

The plague spreads very quickly; an entire military camp could be infected in just two or three days.

Lin Batian's expression changed:

"How could this happen? I can't die! What exactly happened last night?"

First, my gold and silver treasures disappeared, then I contracted the plague. It was all so bizarre..."
