Fu Yueli held Shi Mingyue's hand tightly, he didn't know what would happen next.
As time passed, more and more people fell down in the hall, and Helian Yizhuo's face became more and more ugly, because Fu Yueli, Ming Wei and Lu Lingyan were still standing.
There was another movement outside the hall, and someone rushed in. Everyone turned around and saw that the person who came was Fu Baiheng and others.
After leaving the ancient city, Fu Yueli and Fu Baiheng split up. Later, Fu Yueli met Shi Mingyue, and Fu Baiheng also found this place. But it was obvious that he had not come at the right time.
The moment Xu Ziling saw Fu Baiheng, his eyes fluctuated.
"Why aren't you moving?" Fu Baiheng asked Fu Yueli when he saw that everyone in the hall was standing still.
"Fu Baiheng, you are here too." Helian Yizhuo said with an ambiguous smile.
The people around Fu Baiheng soon fell down. When he saw the tragic deaths of people around him, he quickly understood what had happened.
Seeing that all the unimportant people were dead, while Fu Yueli and the others were still standing, Helian Yizhuo also stood up. But the moment he stood up, his legs lost strength, as if there was no bone support in them, and he fell to the ground in a mess.
He hadn't died yet, but his pain was worse than death, because the radiation had caused all the bones in his body to melt away. Now he was literally just a piece of soft meat, like a worm.
Xu Ziling walked up to him and shook his head, "Looks like we still lost."
Helian Yizhuo was unwilling, no, it was Fu Bo who was very unwilling. He would rather die than live like a worm.
"Kill me." He rolled his eyes vigorously. Xu Ziling picked up the knife on the ground and chopped off his head neatly.
Without bones, his head separated easily from his body.
They won the bet, and Fu Baiheng walked over. He didn't understand: "Why did you leave without saying a word?" At that time in the misty forest of Yunzhou, she had conspired with He Jun to deceive herself.
Xu Ziling looked up at him and said coldly, "Because there is no need."
"Is it not necessary?" Fu Baiheng couldn't believe it.
Xu Ziling nodded and repeated, "Yes, there's no need. We're connected by profit, and when the profit runs out, we'll part ways."
"Okay!" Fu Baiheng gritted his teeth and said, "You are right, it is indeed a friendship based on profit." He stopped talking.
Xu Ziling looked at Fu Yueli at this time, and said with a smile: "What are you going to do with me?"
Fu Yueli said: "I will take you back for trial."
"Then I can only face the death penalty?" Xu Ziling remained calm.
Fu Yueli had a question: "Do you think what you did before was wrong?"
"Since you asked that, you should know my answer." Xu Ziling raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Arguing about right and wrong is meaningless. Besides, I succeeded, didn't I?"
Fu Yueli said: "Maybe, maybe you succeeded, but even if you achieved immortality, what would that do?"
Xu Ziling knew that the crimes of treason and murder she had committed were enough to exterminate her entire clan. But she had nothing to fear because she was already alone, and she was confident that Fu Yueli would not kill her because he needed her.
"Besides me, Helian Yizhuo has another subordinate, and that's him." She pointed to a dead body on the ground. "He's also a doctor, but we have different responsibilities. He studies plague, which is an infectious disease. Before coming to the Ulan Bu Desert, Helian Yizhuo ordered his men to sneak into Xinzhou City and release plague bacteria into various water sources. I'm afraid some people in Xinzhou City have already fallen ill."
"What kind of plague is it?" Shi Mingyue couldn't help but ask.
Xu Ziling said, "In the early stages, the infected will feel like they've caught a cold, with a runny nose and cough. After two days at most, they'll develop a high fever and a persistent cough, and won't survive more than seven days. The plague is highly contagious. Anyone who comes into contact with a patient, or anything they've touched, will be infected without exception. And I'm the only one who can cure this disease right now."
The others finally understood where Xu Ziling got his confidence from. Fu Yueli glanced at Helian Yizhuo, who was lying on the ground and no longer in human form, with disgust, thinking that he was truly vicious.
Shi Mingyue saw that He Jun was still alive, and the big stone in her heart fell. She walked over and helped He Jun up. There was no doubt that He Jun came here to save her.
Xu Ziling laughed and said, "He Jun, you are really lucky. You were almost dead, but now the meteorite has saved your life."
He Jun glanced at her calmly without answering. He turned to look at Shi Mingyue and said, "As long as you're okay."
The few lucky survivors left the ancient city's palace. As they walked along the streets, Xu Ziling suddenly asked them a question: "Do you know how the ancient Ulanqab Kingdom, once so powerful, was buried in the sand?"
The others naturally didn't know about this, so Xu Ziling continued, "Because of a plague, the same plague that's happening in Xinzhou City right now."
Everyone else looked at her in shock. Could this plague really be so severe? Could it completely destroy a powerful nation?
Xu Ziling then recounted the rise and fall of the Ulan Gu Kingdom. Approximately seven hundred years ago, the Ulan Gu Kingdom was the most powerful and prosperous state in the Western Regions. Suddenly, a plague broke out in a small village. Initially, the people thought the plague would soon pass, but unexpectedly, within a few months, it spread throughout the country. Anyone who came into contact with people or objects in the affected area would inevitably contract the plague. The then-King of Ulan ordered a blockade of the severely affected areas, and the entire country was thrown into a state of stagnation. The people were in a state of panic, staying indoors all day, afraid to leave. However, the operation of a country required people, and food required human labor; people could not stay at home forever.
To completely eradicate the epidemic, the king ordered the burning of the affected area, forcing no one to leave. Naturally, such a cruel act was opposed by the people, but who could have come up with a better solution? The epidemic seemed to have subsided temporarily, but just over ten days later, patients appeared in the ancient capital, and panic reached its peak.
The best doctors in the country were unable to cure the plague. At this time, the people rebelled because of the country's inaction. They surrounded the imperial city, and the king and his family had to escape through underground tunnels. However, they encountered angry people in the underground tunnels.
The royal family was wiped out and the people occupied the palace, but what was the use? The plague was still spreading, and soon there was no sound of life in the ancient city of Ulan.
Seven hundred years ago, a severe drought and earthquake occurred again, and gradually the entire ancient country turned into a desert, and the ancient city was buried in yellow sand.
Everyone was deeply moved after listening to the history of the rise and fall of the Ulan Ancient Kingdom.
Xu Ziling said, "The doctor's ancestors were survivors who escaped from the Ulan Gu Kingdom. They were doctors themselves and had been studying this plague for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, they were still a little short of success."
"If this plague is really that serious, then Xinzhou City would be in chaos. How can you save it?" This is what Shi Mingyue was worried about.
