Chapter 64 Li Yi Comes Out (Part 3)
??Qingzhou company headquarters.
Zhao Si was originally sitting in the office drinking tea, preparing to go home after work and spend some time with his fiancée. He had eaten too much dog food in Hanshui before, so he had to make up for the trauma of that day.
??But I didn’t expect that the company would immediately enter the second level alert state as soon as I swipe the card.
??Something happened again.
??Three minutes later, all the official operators of the company gathered in the conference room. It is worth mentioning that because Lu Haochu had made meritorious contributions on Yun Island before and received special resource support, he is now in the late stage of foundation building and has been rated as a special-grade cultivator.
??Everyone thinks this is natural, after all, it was earned through hard work.
??Zhao Si's cultivation level soared to the seventh level of Qi Refining after eating the cloud fruit, and his cultivation speed was three times faster than before. He should be able to reach the ninth level of Qi Refining within half a year. When Lu Haochu found out, he praised him for his talent, which made him blush.
??I didn't do anything, I just ate a cloud fruit. I couldn't refine it completely, and one tenth of it went into the dog's stomach.
??Lu Haochu looked very bad. He hadn’t slept for two days.
"Just now, Qingzhou also began to suffer from sleeping sickness."
??When these words were spoken, everyone's face changed.
??Sleeping sickness, an unexplained symptom that appeared inexplicably a few days ago, was officially confirmed as a malignant supernatural event yesterday after investigation. It is also the first nationwide event involving the soul in history.
The outside world only knows that it is an unknown epidemic disease, and some media even reported that it would be cured by a good night's sleep. But as company employees, they know that no one who has sleeping sickness has woken up yet.
What is most troubling to the company is that the transmission route of sleeping sickness is still unknown. Failure to confirm the transmission route means that it is impossible to formulate corresponding countermeasures, let alone countermeasures.
"We are not calling everyone together now to ask you to find a solution. We don't have that ability. We are asking everyone to be mentally prepared. I'm afraid there will be a fierce battle next."
"If the situation continues to develop to a certain extent and is not contained, there is a high probability that the White Lotus Riot will reappear. Therefore, we need to be vigilant against the evil disciples at all times, especially the recently appeared Fusheng Wuliang Xingjun."
??The White Lotus Riot means that evil spirits are causing chaos. If we talk about the world, it can only be the one eight years ago. That year, the golden mountain armor red blood virus broke out in Qi, and a large number of evil spirits attacked the government office in the surrounding areas.
??That was the first time Zhao Si experienced a curfew and the first time he saw troops entering the city. Everyone was talking about it, thinking that a world war was about to break out.
"Now, each group of six people will focus on patrolling several shelters for the comatose and arresting the disciples of the Blessing Star Lord."
??Although no solution has been found yet, they cannot just sit there and do nothing.
Lu Haochu finally said: "Don't be so nervous. According to what I know, the soul of a person in a coma is still there, and the part that has been extracted is no more than a hair."
"I believe the company will be able to overcome the difficulties. Besides, there are so many golden elixirs standing above, and there are also the Nine Cauldrons. No ghosts or monsters can cause any big waves. At worst, there are sword immortals, who will definitely be able to suppress everything."
??Zhao Si did not feel that the atmosphere had eased at all, because everyone present was a cultivator and naturally understood the importance of the soul.
??The soul is the unshakable foundation, even a strand of hair can cause irreversible damage. This is why just losing a strand of soul can make a person fall into a coma and unable to wake up.
??Perhaps after a while these people will wake up one after another, after all, if it is just a wisp of soul, it will not kill them. But the problem is that if the symptoms continue, one wisp of soul is missing today, and another one is missing tomorrow, it will definitely kill them if it repeats over and over again.
??At this time, someone asked: "Have our relatives been resettled?"
??This question hits the nail on the head.
Almost everyone cast inquiring glances. Compared to the upcoming war, they were more concerned about whether their families could be properly settled. Many of the people present were retired from the military, and their loyalty to the government and society was unquestionable.
??Zhao Si is a rare case who can enter the company directly without going through multiple rounds of review.
Lu Haochu replied: "Although the higher-ups haven't issued an order yet, there is a high probability that they will be transferred to the foot of Shangqing Palace Mountain, and it is expected to start the day after tomorrow at the latest."
??This made the atmosphere slightly eased.
??The meeting ended and everyone left quickly, except Lu Haochu who left Zhao Si behind.
"Zhao Si, let your family live in Hanshui Village for a few days, and bring my parents along."
Zhao Si was stunned for a moment and said, "Fuck, Lao Lu, is the situation so serious? You were so confident just now."
"Everyone can say polite words." Lu Haochu rolled his eyes. "The most important thing is that this incident is aimed at ordinary people. If a cultivator is hit, he will most likely wake up, but if an ordinary person is hit, it's really hard to predict whether he will live or die. At present, the only safe place I can think of is Hanshui, where there is a great man looking after us."
??Now the well-informed wealthy people have already run to Shangqing Palace, and as a disciple of Shangqing Palace, Lu Haochu naturally knows whether he can protect them.
??Shangqing Palace has a large formation, two Jindan and many fake Dan period monks, although not as good as sword immortals, ordinary evil demons dare not invade. But this time the matter is extraordinary, Shangqing Palace can't protect them, and there is no spare power.
??If Shangqing Palace finds a solution, the crisis will naturally be resolved.
"The storm is coming, you'd better prepare early."
