Chapter 299: Epidemic

After leaving Sector B, Zhu Lin returned to the villa located in the West District. In order to save the man just now, she had consumed a lot of divine energy. At this moment, Zhu Lin really needed to cultivate and replenish her divine energy.

After walking for more than an hour, she finally arrived at home. Opening the door, she found the villa empty. She searched around with her divine sense and didn’t feel anyone else besides Tu Tu. Closing the door, she called: "Tu Tu."

On the second floor, Tu Tu heard her voice and rushed out of the bedroom. Seeing its master walking up the stairs, Tu Tu jumped forward and said, "Master, welcome back."

Zhu Lin smiled at Tu Tu and asked, "Have you sent all those leaders to Captain Teng?"

Tu Tu nodded and said, "Yes. Master. Captain Teng said he would tell you the results of the interrogation later."

"I see. I will cultivate first. Don’t let anyone bother me." She said as she walked back to her bedroom.

Tu Tu looked at her tired face and said, "Yes, Master."

After Zhu Lin closed the bedroom door, Tu Tu left the villa and went to play with the children. While everyone was busy doing their own thing, time passed in the blink of an eye. Two days later, before the sun rose over the eastern horizon, Zhu Lin was disturbed by the strong smell of blood in the air.

She opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Seeing that it was still dark, she stood up and walked to the window. Zhu Lin looked down and saw many people rushing towards the hospital.

Frowning slightly, she thought of the man who was eaten by parasites from the inside out. Zhu Lin looked thoughtfully at the people below for a while, and then left her bedroom. When Tu Tu, who was playing with the children in the living room, saw her, the rabbit said, "Master, you finally came out."

Zhu Lin felt the anxiety in Tu Tu’s voice and asked, "Did something happen when I was cultivating?"

Tu Tu put down the toy in its paws and said, "Master, you guessed it right. A big incident has indeed happened in the past two days."

Zhu Lin walked to the old sofa and said calmly: "Tell me what’s going on."

When the children saw her, they greeted her and continued playing with their toys. After Zhu Lin sat down, Tu Tu jumped to her side and sat on her lap.

Tu Tu approached her and said in a low voice: "Master, I heard from Ji Yang that many people in the base are sick. He said that the doctor said it might be the plague or seasonal flu."

When Zhu Lin heard Tu Tu’s words, she knew that what she worried about had really happened. She tapped the armrest of the sofa with her slender index finger and asked, "What are the symptoms of this disease?"

Tu Tu thought for a while and said, "I secretly went to the hospital this morning to take a look and found that most of the patient’s body parts were swollen and the whole body was covered with ulcers. Some even vomited black blood, mixed with rotten flesh and some white worms. After vomiting, the patient dies within an hour."

Zhu Lin frowned slightly and said, "They are infected by parasites."

Tu Tu tilted its little head and asked, "Master, you just listened to me. How do you know the cause of their illness?"

Zhu Lin rubbed the rabbit’s soft fur and said, "I treated a man two days ago, and his symptoms were similar to what you just mentioned."

Hearing what she said, Tu Tu was surprised and asked in confusion: "Master, since you discovered this disease two days ago, why didn’t you inform the Devil God and the others?"

Zhu Lin sighed and said, "This is indeed an oversight on my part. First of all, I have reminded the patient’s wife to inform the base about this so the base could take action to prevent the disease after receiving the message. Second, I think the man was infected with parasites because he ate unclean things. I didn’t expect that the situation would turn out like this two days later."

After listening to her words, Tu Tu thought for a while and asked, "Master, could it be that the patient’s wife didn’t inform the base about the parasite?"

Zhu Lin thought for a moment, shook her head, and said, "I think she has already informed the base. It’s just... after the treatment, her husband’s condition looked normal. If someone asked her to provide evidence and she let them see her husband, I don’t think anyone would believe what she said. Therefore, the base failed to prevent the epidemic early, causing the epidemic to spread rapidly."

After she said that, Tu Tu sighed and said, "Then what should we do? Master, is it difficult to cure the disease?"

Zhu Lin shook her head and said, "It’s not difficult. We just need to expel the parasites from the patient’s body, and then use divine energy to repair the damaged body. It took me over an hour to complete the treatment because the woman’s husband was already very ill. For other patients who are in better condition, maybe it will take me about ten minutes to cure them."

Tu Tu heard her words, looked at her calm expression, and said helplessly: "... Master, have you forgotten that in this world, only you and High God Lu Qiu can use divine energy? If it takes more than an hour for you to treat that patient, then it will take at least several hours for High God Lu Qiu to treat one patient because he is a beginner in this field."

Looking at Zhu Lin’s expression, Tu Tu added: "Besides, High God Lu Qiu is not here right now. He went out to investigate the secret organization and has not come back yet."
