Li Mu still held onto a sliver of hope and asked, "...What does it mean?"

Yun Rou grinned: "That means there are now many victims like Yu Ran."

Li Mu and Colin's lips twitched slightly.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Colin, who was standing by the door, immediately opened it.

Bai Jingming was standing outside the door.

Bai Jingming's expression was even colder than usual.

He glanced around the room, and upon seeing Yun Rou, he asked, "Captain Yun Rou, have you tried it?"

Yun Rou nodded.

Then she asked, "Could it be that there's a new patient?"

Bai Jingming nodded silently: "Yes, more than twenty people have arrived in the past two hours, all of them unconscious."

Yun Rou shrugged, looked at Li Mu and Colin, and indicated that this was the beginning.

Yun Rou said, "I'm sorry, I failed. I couldn't even break through the superficial level of consciousness, let alone go deep into the sea of ​​consciousness."

Bai Jingming frowned: "Has the subconscious level been blocked?"

"It's become a spider's nest." Yun Rou's lips twitched, a hint of lingering fear flashing in her eyes: "If it weren't for Lu Ning, I probably would have been injured if I had tried to escape."

Bai Jingming was taken aback and looked at Lu Ning with some confusion: "Commander Lu Ning has telepathic abilities?"

Lu Ning shook his head: "I can only catch spider silk."

Bai Jingming's cold expression showed a momentary blankness.

His mouth was slightly open, as if he wanted to say something, but he ultimately fell silent.

Unlike Bai Jingming, Yun Rou had a more outgoing personality. At this moment, she stared wide-eyed, her face full of question marks.

"How did you rescue me? I thought you'd absorbed some kind of mental pollution. What the hell is this spider silk? Isn't that something from the dream dimension? How can you grab something from the dream dimension while in the real dimension?"

Is that correct?

That's not right at all, is it?

Yunrou felt that her worldview had been shaken.

Lu Ning looked at Yun Rou with some confusion: "Didn't you see the spider silk just now? That's how I caught it."

"...I can't see a ghost! How could you possibly see things from a dream in reality?!"

Yun Rou looked at Lu Ning with a strange expression: "Are you even human? How can a human see things from different dimensions?"

Lu Ning said with a serious expression, "Of course I'm human! I'm a normal person!"

Bai Jingming was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Captain Yunrou's attempts have all failed, so the situation is probably quite bad. Captain Yunrou, I hope you can help me study the dream crystal left behind by Commander Jerry. There might be clues in it, and maybe we can find a solution."

Yun Rou nodded slightly: "Okay."

Yun Rou now understands that the dream plague is spreading and a way to stop it needs to be developed as soon as possible, otherwise the entire base city may be in danger.

Just then, Colin's phone rang.

After Colin answered the call, Ke Qing's voice came through: "Captain, we have two cases this morning. One is about someone who turned into blood in a dream, and the other is about someone who became ill shortly after waking up."

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Yun Rou rubbed her forehead and said, "It seems that these unusual dreams are not just about making people faint. Those who fainted were quite lucky."

Bai Jingming said, "You'll probably be quite busy from now on."

Colin said into the phone, "Okay, I'll be right back."

After Colin hung up the phone, he looked at Li Mu and said, "Mu Mu, come back with me."

Li Mu nodded, then looked at Lu Ning: "Lu Ning, I'll leave Xiao Ran to you."

Lu Ning nodded: "Okay."

Colin and Li Mu then hurriedly left.

Yun Rou also followed Bai Jingming to study countermeasures against this dream plague.

Only Lu Ning and Yu Ran remained in the room.

Lu Ning closed the room door and glanced at Yu Ran.

Although Yun Rou disturbed her a little earlier, Yu Ran is still sleeping soundly.

Fortunately, Lu Ning tugged at the spider silk, and it hid again.

Lu Ning sat down on the sofa and began to refine the source of contamination in the Hand of the Underworld.

Over the next few days, Bai Jingming and Yun Rou came to check on Yu Ran every day.

Sometimes Bai Jingming would even take out medicine and feed it to Yu Ran.

Unfortunately, it had no effect.

During her treatment, Lu Ning would also chat with Bai Jingming and Yun Rou.

The number of patients seeking medical treatment at the hospital is increasing daily, currently reaching over a hundred per day.

Even the inpatient wards are now insufficient.

Many patients' families are afraid of problems after returning home, and some even prefer to sleep on the floor in the hospital corridor.

The base city already lacked medical resources, and this epidemic has made those resources even more scarce.

All doctors have now been mobilized to try to find solutions, treat patients, and comfort their families.

Bai Jingming and Yun Rou's research has not made much progress so far; they can only do their best.

Bai Jingming even went to the media to express his commitment to developing a treatment as soon as possible, and hoped that the people of the base city would pay attention to their own safety and wait for the treatment to be available.

However, Bai Jingming's attempts to appease her were losing their effectiveness day by day.

Under the shadow of the dream plague, people are filled with fear, and no one is sure if they will be next.

Ordinary people already face immense pressure due to mental pollution, and now, under such psychological pressure, violent incidents occur even more frequently.

Within the base city, a pervasive sense of negativity prevailed.
