Chapter 1603 Guess
"Chang Xuewei is hiding in the dark, waiting for an opportunity to strike. I have recently led people to patrol Yongzhou City to cut off her arms and leave her nowhere to hide."
Chen Changli did not intend to hide it from the people, so he immediately told them what he had done and mentioned in passing that Chang Xuewei was seriously injured.
"Chang Xuewei is also seriously injured. She has many doctors and poison masters under her command. They will protect her together and will definitely not let her get hurt."
"But her injury requires medication, so everyone should pay attention to the smell of medicine during this period. If the smell of medicine suddenly becomes very strong somewhere, it must be related to her."
"You must tell me the location as soon as possible so that I can catch her. Don't act impulsively, or you will be harmed by Chang Xuewei."
Chen Changli spoke these words earnestly, and many people nodded repeatedly, but there were still some people with worries on their brows. They looked at Chen Changli from time to time, then lowered their eyes, as if they were extremely conflicted.
Chen Changli was very sensitive to people's gazes. He quickly noticed the changes in their gazes and immediately came up to one of them and asked, "What are you worried about? Can you tell me about it?"
Seeing Chen Changli appear before him, the handsome man held his breath unconsciously.
As soon as his words entered his ears, the handsome man showed shame on his face, his eyes wandered to other places, his lips moved slightly, but he didn't utter a word.
Seeing his expression, Chen Changli couldn't help but have some guesses in his mind, but a gentle smile on his face was enough to calm people's hearts.
"You are worried that Chang Xuewei will not care and let the people of Yongzhou City become the same as the people of Luoyang City."
When the handsome man heard this, his eyes slightly turned red, and his voice was choked with sobs: "My father was a businessman. He lost contact with me half a year ago, and he was in Luoyang City before he lost contact."
"So I specially paid a lot of money to hire someone to inquire about him, and only then did I know the situation in Luoyang City."
When he said this, the emotions that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time turned into tears and rolled down his cheeks.
"I heard that hundreds of thousands of people in Luoyang City have become living dead. It's shocking."
"General, tell me the truth, will these living dead ever regain their sanity?"
He actually had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't want to think that way. He just wanted to get good news and hoped that his father could return safely.
Chen Changli saw through his thoughts at a glance and wanted to comfort him, but the situation in Luoyang City was already known to everyone who was capable at this moment, and he could not appease anyone even if he lied.
"The people in Luoyang City have indeed turned into the living dead. As for how these living dead can recover, more doctors will need to go to Luoyang City to check on the situation and study their symptoms."
"But now Luoyang City has become an abandoned city. The doctors have no one to organize them, so they don't have the courage to go to Luoyang City."
"So the living dead are trapped in Luoyang City and can't go anywhere. This way they are also safe."
Chen Changli didn't want to lie to anyone, so he told everyone what he knew.
Although the handsome man had expected this, his face turned pale when he heard the correct answer.
"Little brother, you have to hold on to hope. After all, there are countless capable people in this world. As long as someone develops an antidote, the living dead in Luoyang City may be able to return to normal."
Seeing the handsome man looking hopeless in life, Chen Changli sighed, and then spoke in a very sincere tone.
"Can the general's wife develop an antidote?" Upon hearing this, the handsome man's eyes instantly lit up with hope.
Wan Shufang had indeed developed an antidote before, but it had never been used on humans, so Chen Changli was not sure whether the antidote was effective.
As his mind turned, he said, "Although my wife is a skilled doctor, she is also an ordinary person. So facing the situation in Luoyang City, she can only do her best, and she cannot save people like a god."
"I don't need the general's wife to be like a god. I just need her to help me research the antidote." The handsome man said with tears in his eyes.
Chen Changli did not make any promises, but only said: "My wife is a kind-hearted doctor. If she is safe, I will help her gather doctors from all over the world to research an antidote together."
"Thank you, General." The handsome man understood the concerns in his heart when he heard this. Although he felt sad, he was not very disappointed.
Just because the horror of the living dead was exaggerated by those who inquired about the news, he was already scared and mentally prepared to lose his father.
Hearing the handsome man's words of thanks, Chen Changli knew what he was thinking. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but said no more. He just reached out and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
The people standing next to the two men also remained silent tacitly, because they knew something about Luoyang City, but they didn't know how terrifying the living dead were.
Now after hearing the conversation between the two, they knew how terrifying this living dead was, and they hated Chang Xuewei even more. They wished that Chen Changli would catch and kill her the next moment.
"Everything will be fine." Noticing the stagnant atmosphere around him, Chen Changli suddenly said.
Everyone's eyes turned red when they heard this, but they said nothing. They just leaned on each other, trying to suppress the uneasiness in their hearts.
The handsome man pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Chen Changli and said, "General, my name is Hu Fei. My father is a very capable businessman, so he once joined a chamber of commerce."
"The founder of this Chamber of Commerce is Wen Baicao. I saw him leading people to the north gate the other day."
"As far as I know, there is a mountain outside the north gate called Mingyue Mountain, which is close to Wuling Mountain in Bashu. As the founder of the Chamber of Commerce, Wen Baicao is definitely planning to go to Bashu."
The news brought by Hu Fei made Chen Changli frown. Did Wen Baicao leave the day before yesterday?
He thought Wen Baicao had evacuated with the Eighth Prince's men.
"Do you know what he did before going to the North Gate?" Chen Changli asked anxiously.
Hu Fei clenched his fists and lowered his voice, "He used beggars to pass on the message. As for who the message was passed to, I don't know."
Chen Changli sneered when he heard this: "He really is on the side of the Ninth Prince."
Hu Fei's face changed slightly when he heard this: "Could it be that the Ninth Prince attacked the city because of him?"
Chen Changli nodded to confirm his guess: "Wen Baicao is manipulating several princes with the purpose of provoking the relationship between them and making them fight."
"So the Ninth Prince suddenly attacked Yongzhou City. Maybe he spread some bad news about the Eighth Prince, causing the Ninth Prince to misunderstand."
"But it is not ruled out that the Ninth Prince had this idea a long time ago, and Wen Baicao just went with the flow."
"How could he do this?" Hu Fei's eyes turned red with anger. "Many merchants in Yongzhou City have joined his Chamber of Commerce. When he was collecting medicinal materials for the Eighth Prince, these merchants even gave him money."
"Now that he's gone, and the Eighth Prince is missing, won't all this money just fall into the water without making a sound? Wen Baicao, he has such a vicious heart!"
