Chapter 432 Negotiating Conditions

Xia Yue walked to the city gate, knowing that if she simply asked the other party to open the gate, they would definitely not do so.

There must be either sufficient benefits or sufficient threats.

She chose the latter!

"Hey, call out whoever's in charge here. I need to discuss a deal with him," Xia Yue said to the people on the city wall.

Above, a member of the Black Gold Gang responded, "Just say what you want to say. Our boss doesn't have time to see you."

"Ha, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin."

The virus is highly contagious here. Some people have gone to the river outside the city to collect water, and the virus will flow into the city with the river water.

The river connects to the groundwater, which in turn connects directly to the well water. As far as I know, many drinking water points in your city rely on well water.

It's no use trying to stop these people outside the city. Once the virus starts to spread, the entire Broken Soul Island will become a plague island!

By then, you and your families will all be finished!

Xia Yue deliberately exaggerated the extent of the virus's effects.

What she said about infection through water flow is indeed true.

She thought that similar cases must have appeared in the city by now.

Upon hearing this, the soldiers on the city wall immediately reported the situation to their superiors.

After the higher authorities learned of this, they indeed sent people to inquire and discovered that the hospital had received several patients with high fevers of unknown origin yesterday and today, and that all of them had drunk well water before they fell ill.

Everything was exactly as Xia Yue had said.

Immediately, the people in the city began to panic.

The plague infection was no small matter; resources on the island were limited, and the islanders had lived here for generations.

If something goes wrong because of this, even the four major gangs can't afford to take the blame.

A middle-aged man dressed in luxurious attire from the Platinum Gang stepped forward and spoke with Xia Yue. He was the vice leader of the Platinum Gang.

"Dr. X, I've heard your medical skills are amazing. Can you control this plague?" Deputy Chief Bai asked from the city wall.

"Of course I can!" Xia Yue answered without hesitation.

“But I have one condition,” Xia Yue added.

Deputy Gang Leader Bai frowned slightly, as if deep in thought, but finally said loudly, "Tell me your conditions."

"I want you to open the city gates, let these people in, arrange a place for them, and treat their illnesses and injuries."

After they recover, you are not allowed to stop them from leaving Broken Soul Island.

After listening, Deputy Gang Leader Bai couldn't help but frown. "This isn't just one condition; it's clearly many conditions!"

"Tell me if you agree or not. If you don't agree, then I won't care if the plague gets out of control in your city." Xia Yue said calmly.

She even had folding chairs and parasols brought out so she could sit leisurely under the city gate and wait for an answer.

Bai's deputy gang leader's confidant said worriedly after hearing Xia Yue's words, "Deputy gang leader, such a big matter cannot be decided by our Platinum Gang alone. The other three gangs probably won't agree."

They only want the meteorite star and don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

In my opinion, we should first arrest this "miracle doctor X" and force her to treat the plague; then we can ignore the rest.

"No, I've investigated this person. She can completely manipulate Gong Long. The destruction of Drug this time is largely related to her."

The only way to deal with this kind of person is to treat them with courtesy and communicate with them properly.

If we use force, and she poisons us, we might not even know how we died.

Deputy Chief Bai is quite shrewd; he doesn't do things that are too risky.

Moreover, he never agreed from the beginning to keep these people locked up outside the city and let them fend for themselves until they handed over the meteorite star.

Most people are innocent.

Moreover, offending international organizations is not beneficial at all.

If we really anger them, those countries might unite and wipe out Soul Island!

"Sigh, I'll go and discuss this with the gang leader again," Vice Gang Leader Bai sighed slightly.

Then, Deputy Chief Bai told Xia Yue that he would have two more hours to consider.

Xia Yue replied directly, "One hour. If it exceeds that time, there will be different conditions for me to take action again."

The deputy gang leader looked helpless, but he could only do as Xia Yue said.

Shang Zexi and the others stayed by Xia Yue's side, but they were all unsure of what to do.

Shang Zexi asked in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, what if they don't agree?"

“They will agree,” Xia Yue said calmly.

Ansen looked at Xia Yue's composed demeanor and a faint smile appeared on his lips.

Actually, what he liked most was Xia Yue's calm and serene demeanor.

Qu Wanwan has similarities to Xia Yue, so he later fell in love with her as well.

Unfortunately, neither Qu Wanwan nor Xia Yue were interested in him.

Anson sighed softly, wondering when his true love would appear.

An hour passed quickly.

Just when everyone thought there was no hope, and Xia Yue unconsciously clenched her fists, Vice Gang Leader Bai appeared.

This time, he didn't stand on the city wall, but opened the city gate and walked out from inside.

Of course, after the city gates opened, many people wanted to rush in, but they were all stopped by the people from the four major gangs.

Bai, the deputy gang leader, appeared cautiously in front of Xia Yue, surrounded by many bodyguards.

"Dr. X, hello. My personal visit to you is enough to show the sincerity of my Platinum Gang." After arriving, Vice Gang Leader Bai first boasted a bit, trying to embellish his own reputation.

Xia Yue also gave them face, standing up from the folding chair and saying loudly, "The Platinum Gang is indeed very sincere, but I wonder what the other three gangs mean?"

“This…they…” Deputy Gang Leader Bai hesitated when mentioning the other three gangs.

But in the end, he reluctantly said, "They agreed, but the conditions have changed."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"The four major gangs have agreed that you and your friends can enter the city and be given the best medical resources."

The rest of the people must remain outside the city, but they can be provided with medicine and a certain number of doctors and nurses.

We're doing this for safety's sake. With so many people suddenly entering the city, what if the virus you mentioned suddenly breaks out? Wouldn't that be disastrous?

"Of course, if you hand over the meteorite, we agree that everyone can enter the city together."

Although Deputy Gang Leader Bai had a sliver of goodwill, he didn't want things to escalate to the worst possible outcome.

But when faced with a choice between profit and other benefits, he still chose profit.

Xia Yue frowned slightly upon hearing this reply, still not satisfied.

She continued, "Those who are not infected by the Y3 virus outside the city must also enter the city. If you are worried, arrange for people to isolate them, but you absolutely cannot let them continue to stay outside."

Otherwise, they will only become petri dishes for the virus, the next infected person.

"Only one-third of the people are infected now. While there is still a chance, the fewer people who get sick, the better."

Otherwise, if things get out of control outside, things won't be much better inside either," Anson added, trying to persuade him.

Deputy Chief Bai looked conflicted, unsure whether he should agree.

Just then, an important message suddenly arrived!
