Chapter 950 How to solve the dilemma? Cheating!
Following Ling Ying all the way to a certain place, Mo Cheng saw a lot of people, Yue Yao and Shen Xueqi were among them. It must be that those gathered here are the ones who can really call the shots in [Yueting].
"This is Jixia Mo Shouxin. Yesterday, he led more than a thousand elite cavalry to break through the [Winged Army] formation and severely damaged Tianpeng."
After Ling Ying introduced the people present, she said, "Everyone present here is important to whether [Yueting] can defend the city against [Shifang Demon Bandits], so let's not talk about polite words for now. Changzhou, how is the situation?"
A doctor named Chang Zhou, who had gray hair, pondered for a while and came up with a plan in his mind. He then said, "Today my [Epidemic Bell] kept ringing, so I tried to investigate in the city and found that the plague had already infiltrated the city."
[Epidemic Bell] is a treasure of medical disciples. It is not very common and only those with profound medical skills can wear it.
The effect of [Plague Bell] is very simple, which is to detect and discover the plague.
The various schools of thought in this world emphasize practicality. If a medical disciple wants to improve his skills, he must travel around the world to experience various diseases and treat them.
After stating the premise in the time it takes to say a sentence, Chang Zhou opened his mouth and reported a series of data, "My disciples and I started testing before the sun came out. The plague spread very quickly. When I arrived, at least 30% of the city residents were infected. The army was infected even faster. The plague seemed to be specifically targeting cultivators. 70% of those with cultivation in the army were infected."
Chang Zhou paused as he spoke, "At this rate of infection, at least half of the people in the city are now infected with the plague."
Ling Ying made a prompt decision, "Immediately block the news. No news about the plague can be spread except to those present!"
When half of the people in the city are infected, the only effect of spreading this news is to cause the army to lose morale, the people to collapse, and even cause unrest.
By that time, let alone the [Ten Directions Demon Bandits], the people in the city alone would be enough to cause the city to collapse.
"Mr. Changzhou, please immediately study how to resolve this plague."
"I tried my best, but..." Doctor Changzhou shook his head with a wry smile, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal his left hand. At this moment, his left hand was covered with poisonous sores, and they were growing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After growing to the limit, they broke open on their own, causing the skin and flesh to fester.
At the same time, there was a foul smell coming. Mo Cheng frowned. He smelled the smell of poison in the air.
The smell of festering boils alone is enough to form toxins.
"Before I came here, I wanted to try the plague and infect myself to see how it could be cured, but I didn't expect... my reputation would be ruined in an instant."
Obviously, Dr. Changzhou judged that he could not solve the plague.
"This plague spreads very quickly, and it specifically targets cultivators. It may take a month or two for ordinary people to enter the outbreak period after being infected, but if a cultivator is infected, it will enter the outbreak period in ten days, or at most fifteen days. Even if I start studying this plague now, it will take at least twenty days to make any progress."
In less than a day, half of the city's population was infected. It was also extremely lethal, with death being the only outcome once an outbreak occurred.
Even the knowledgeable Mo Cheng had to praise the cruelty of the Ten Directions Demon Bandits. Once this thing was used, the death toll would be in the tens or even millions and it would not be stopped at all.
Ling Ying asked calmly, "How much time do we have? How soon will it take for the plague to show obvious symptoms?"
"After three days, all soldiers guarding the city who have cultivation experience will show obvious symptoms."
There are only three days that can be considered safe, so it is simple to decide what to do.
Ling Ying looked at the people around her, "Everyone should do their job after we go back. No matter what happens in three days, there must be no mistakes in the supply of materials, whether for civilian or military purposes. Yueyao is in charge, you are responsible for this matter."
These things are undoubtedly part of the daily work for the person in charge of Runxia District. "Leave it to me."
"Mr. Changzhou, please devote all your efforts to researching how to eliminate the plague. Please make a list of the materials you need, and you can take whatever you have in the city to research."
"As it should be."
Although Doctor Changzhou was aware that he had no way of developing an antidote before the outbreak, he was also very clear that the Ten Directions Demon Bandits would not use this thing only once, so he had to develop certain results and send them to other people before they used it on a large scale.
Then Ling Ying looked at Mo Cheng...
"Gather your men and horses. You challenge Fantian Jiao head-on and I will attack from the side and capture him alive."
Before Ling Ying spoke, Mo Cheng said, "Since they dare to use the plague, they must have something that will keep them safe. If we catch the Sky-Flipping Dragon, the [antidote] won't be a big problem."
There is a sample of the antidote, and with the current storage of materials in Yue Ting, it is more than enough to supply the entire city.
Mo Cheng had no research on medicine, but he knew that those who dared to use the plague either wanted to die together with their enemies, or had a backup plan to avoid being infected.
There is no irreconcilable hatred between Fantian Jiao and [Nanli Daoyu], so the answer is undoubtedly the latter.
Ling Ying nodded, "Then I'll leave it to Master Mo Cheng."
She knew very well that Mo Cheng was not a disciple of her uncle Taoist Wei Yi, but he had a very high level of cultivation and could even severely injure the Sky-Swallowing Peng in a short time in a battle. If there was anyone in this city who could capture the Sky-Fanning Jiao, there would be no other choice except Mo Cheng.
…
At noon, the [Yueting] guards at the port boarded the ship, which was rare, and shouted at the [Fuhaijun] soldiers who were besieging the port, trying to start a big battle.
But I don't know if Fantianjiao had already anticipated the thoughts of [Yueting] side. Usually, Fantianjiao would fight back when being scolded, but today, he was scolded by the soldiers for the whole afternoon and was not seen.
Not only that, when the warships of [Yueting] wanted to go out for a fight, the warships of [Fu Haijun] retreated tacitly and made room.
If they continue the pursuit, there will be the sea ahead. The [Fu Navy] has the advantage in naval battles. If the warships enter the sea, it will not be easy to come back.
But if the pursuit is not continued, the [Fu Navy] does not engage in battle, and the Fantian Jiao does not appear, then the purpose of the plan will be completely unattainable.
And it can be seen from the reaction of the [Fu Navy] that they just want to delay until the plague breaks out and the defenders can no longer hold on, and then they can easily reap the rewards.
On the first day, the plan failed completely. Mo Cheng hid in the dark for a whole day but did not find the figure of Fantian Jiao.
Even when he transformed himself into a fish and searched in the sea, he couldn't find any relevant figures.
At night, Mo Cheng, who had worked in vain all day, scratched the back of his head. He knew that his plan to capture Fantian Jiao had completely failed as the other party had anticipated this.
"We can't just keep going like this. We'll just be led by the nose by others."
He had to break through from another direction, an area where he was better at and had strengths that others did not have.
Mo Cheng looked at his skill list, the skill that represented decay, corruption, plague and death.
[Heart-devoting Halo]!
