The Taihuai River runs across the two states of Taihuai and there are countless tributaries in it, entrenching the two states like a spider web.
For example, the Toyota River next to Qingfeng County is the upper reaches of the Qingyi River in Linyu County. Compared with Yuchuan, which is located in the plains, Qingfeng has more hills and hills, and the same is true for the riverbed, with many faults and stone cliffs.
With the torrential rain that lasted for more than ten days in early winter, the water level downstream near the city has increased a lot compared to previous years.
At this time, there is a binary courtyard on the bank of Toyota River.
The backyard covers a river bank, with a wide view. You can clearly see the river going east and listen to the sound of water.
Lin Mo sat on a wicker chair and carefully observed the man in front of him.
His face was sallow and thin, his eyes were slightly red, and he looked indescribably tired. Only his eyes were very bright, and there were tadpole-like black patterns on half of his face, which looked extremely strange.
That was naturally the curse seal planted by him himself.
After Lin Mo left Tian Mansion and found a spacious and secluded courtyard at random, he began to use the connections of Lan Shaojiu and others to find a group of confirmed patients and began to conduct plague research.
Most of these patients come voluntarily.
After all, after stating that they were only cooperating with follow-up research on the plague and promising to leave a large amount of material and money for their families, most patients were willing to sacrifice their own lives so that their wives, children, and parents could live better lives.
However, when he started researching the plague, Lin Mo encountered difficulties. He finally understood why so many well-known pharmacists gathered together, almost concentrating the resources of a county, and still couldn't do anything to deal with the plague.
The reason is that the plague spreads in extremely strange ways.
Ordinary plagues generally cannot escape the eyes, nose, mouth, and tongue. They can basically be summarized as droplet transmission, gastrointestinal transmission, and blood transmission. The most terrifying mode of transmission is nothing more than contact transmission.
For example, the Ebola virus in Lin Mo's previous life has a very wide range of transmission routes. It can be spread through various channels, and you may be infected as long as you come into contact with it.
This is why when the Qingfeng plague first spread, the basic strategy set by the Yamen government was to use mirage charcoal to kill raccoon bugs, disinfect streets and houses, dredge water sources, distribute masks, and prohibit going out without reason and gatherings of people.
Unfortunately, it had little effect.
It seems that this plague is not a simple disease, but a screening mechanism?
Directly screen out ordinary people who are physically weak or mentally weak.
Then it accelerates blood circulation in some unknown way, stimulates muscle division, and bone hardening. It also causes the patient's mental disorder, and eventually turns into a so-called "ghost" who eats everyone he sees.
This is why Lin Mo directly found another way to construct a poison net and planted a curse seal to observe the symptoms of the disease.
"Sir, I...can't it be cured?" The man couldn't help but ask when he saw Lin Mo being silent for a long time.
He opened his mouth, and his yellowed teeth had become as sharp as those of canines. Drops of saliva began to fall unconsciously, and his eyes were a little panicked.
Lin Mo didn't speak, he just held his body and carefully felt the condition of his body through the poison net.
It was exactly as he expected. The man's body was now in a strange state, as if under a certain will, his whole body functions were running at super power like a machine.
The temperature of the blood alone was beyond ordinary people's imagination, and the muscles were constantly dividing and reorganizing. The pain during the contractions would have made an ordinary person faint from the pain, but this man seemed to feel nothing.
All the pain was gone.
This resulted in a man's subconscious resistance based on his emotions, but in terms of intensity, it already exceeded that of a martial artist in the Tongsu Realm.
You must know that before this, he was just an ordinary person.
"It's okay, don't think too much about it. You'll be fine soon. Go back and rest for a while. Take the medicine on time. Practice more of the boxing techniques given to you. Go ahead." Lin Mo comforted him softly.
"Thank you, sir." The man wanted to smile, but he could no longer control his facial muscles. He could only squeeze out an ugly smile, but when he stood up, he suddenly paused:
"Sir, my child is only six years old now. My mother is not in good health and probably won't live long. The child is obedient. If possible, can you reward her with a stutter? No... I'm not picky, as long as she has a stutter.
....”
There was a look of hope in his eyes, and he begged in a low voice.
Lin Mo narrowed his eyes, as if thinking about it, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded.
The man breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and walked back to his residence.
puff!
Suddenly there was a blood hole in his head, and tiny lightning flashes still flashed, causing the red and white liquid to stagnate, and the smell of blood was masked by the smell of burnt meat.
Bang.
A few seconds later, the body collapsed to the ground.
Lin Mo retracted his fingers, sat on the chair and looked at the body in front of him. After a long silence, he picked up the notepad and pen from the table:
"Plague disease: similar to the rapid proliferation of cells, suspected to be at the expense of life. After the disease, the strength and reaction of ordinary people will increase by two to three times. Ordinary drugs are ineffective. The pure medicine can delay the disease. The curse seal can delay the disease. After the disease, it will be with the martial artist.
There is no difference between them, it will destroy the brain and kill the person."
After the sample data was completely recorded, Lin Mo took a breath and felt a little heavy.
He originally thought that his pharmacological knowledge, coupled with the assistance of poison laws, should be able to solve this plague.
But it still failed.
Of course, it is not without gains. Based on sample research and direct internal analysis of poisonous blood, some methods have been devised to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.
That is to make up for what is missing.
Directly use big data to analyze the patient's overall characteristics, and then prescribe appropriate medicines based on these characteristics, such as calming the mind and nourishing qi if the patient is listless, and replenishing qi and blood if the body is weak.
This is similar to the policy and strategy adopted by Zhou Shengjun in recent days, and it is completely a helpless move.
"Sir, do you still need any materials?"
At this time, Lan Shaojiu's voice came from behind. He looked at the body on the ground and said softly.
Lin Mo turned his head and looked at Lan Shaojiu with an expressionless face.
Lan Shaojiu felt a little flustered for no reason, but he didn't know what he had done wrong, so he had to quickly lower his head.
"That's not material, it's people, people just like you."
"Yes!" Lan Shaojiu felt slightly awe-struck.
"What's going on in the city recently?"
Lan Shaojiu knew what Lin Mo was asking,
"The city has been relatively stable recently. Zhou Shengjun has transported a lot of supplies recently, but with that, a lot of rangers from other places have also come. Some of them have extraordinary strength. They should be all for that."
Coming from Kuwahara Mountain,
Furthermore, yesterday evening, there was an inexplicable heavy snowfall in Kuwahara Mountain...it stopped for half an hour."
"It stopped for half an hour?"
Lin Mo sat upright slightly.
He doesn't care about things like Ranger, after all, he already has a good idea of his current strength.
Normally, you have little chance of winning against a Grandmaster, but if you are fighting below a Grandmaster, there is not much pressure, and you are in a position where you are neither above nor below.
Since the Grand Master in the nearby county has disappeared, there is no need to worry too much.
On the contrary, it was the cessation of snow in this winter that made him somewhat interested.
If he remembered correctly, it snowed quite a lot yesterday evening. It started snowing during the day and continued until midnight before gradually stopping.
"In the evening, the wind and snow suddenly stopped, and the earth dragon seemed to turn over, making people suddenly unconscious. It took half an hour to return to normal. Some people suspected that the secret land of Kuwahara Mountain... might be opened in advance." Lan Shaojiu narrated softly, with a face on his face.
He also looked shocked.
It was a land of mountains. It could stop the wind and snow for half an hour, and it would be nothing more than a wonder of heaven and earth. If it were man-made, what kind of power would it be? It is simply unimaginable.
"So, someone has already gone to Sangyuan Mountain?" Lin Mo asked.
"Yes, there are already many people stationed directly in the mountains, waiting for the secret land to be opened.
Moreover, this trip to the secret land is expected to be a lot of chaos, because the collapse of the Tian family has led to the weakening of the local forces in Qingfeng City, and they can no longer suppress external forces as easily as before.
Especially among this group of foreign rangers, they were deliberately organized, and after they got together, they became quite powerful...and their actions became more and more unscrupulous, and they even injured a direct descendant of the Yang family this morning."
Speaking of this, Lan Shaojiu couldn't help but frown and looked at Lin Mo with an inquiring look.
At this time, Lin Mo looked through his previous notepad, then picked up a piece of dried mountain animal essence and stuffed it into his mouth, gnawing on it.
"Has the leader inquired clearly?"
"...The leader is said to be a highly reputable hero from Jinsha County. His nickname is Meng Yuan Gu Chongwen. He worked with the old lady of the Yang family in three moves without losing..." Lan Shaojiu replied.
.
"It's not bad to have three moves with Yang Guangying, but there's no need to panic." Lin Mo said without raising his head.
"By the way, Gu Chongwen heard the news about us from somewhere and sent people here, saying that he wanted to form an alliance with us and make friends. We..."
"Forget about forming an alliance. When the time comes, we really come across something good. If we take action, it will be embarrassing for both of us. Just refuse it."
"If you refuse like this, I'm afraid you will offend the other party. Your trip to the secret place may be targeted."
"Do they dare?" Lin Mo said calmly.
Yang Guangying is the strongest person in the Yang family today, a figure from the previous generation. Ten years ago, she gained the title of Iron Whip Fairy around Qingfeng. She was able to become the leader of the county magnate clan as a woman. In addition to her cruel methods,
, the strength is also extraordinary.
However, in his eyes, if you are still walking on the path of destiny, if you don't have any surprising encounters, it's just like that, not worth mentioning.
