My Endless Life.

Chapter 248: Blockade of the Town
The disciples of Qiqiao Villa, wearing gas masks and special sheepskin gloves on their hands, examined the purple-skinned corpse that was carried out.

After checking it up and down, the disciple from Qiqiao Villa looked up and said to the middle-aged man beside him:

"Elder Qi, it has been confirmed. It is a plague, and it is a specially made plague."

"…Can the detoxification pill protect against it?"

Zhang Qi, who covered his face with a gas mask and even tucked his goatee at his chin, asked his disciples in a muffled voice.

The disciple shook his head:

"If you take it in advance, it can still be somewhat effective, but if you take it after you are already poisoned, it will be almost useless. Of course, this is a general detoxification pill. If it is a special detoxification pill made by Tianyi Valley..."

"Okay, I get it."

Zhang Qi interrupted his disciple and did not let him continue.

Everyone knows that the detoxification effect of Tianyi Valley's special detoxification pill is ridiculously high. Most of the poisons in the world can be alleviated by the special detoxification pill.

But the problem is that the cost of this detoxification pill is very expensive. If a wealthy family wants to buy this special detoxification pill, it will require them to spend all their money.

Ordinary people simply cannot afford it. Even though Qiqiao Villa is a wealthy and powerful country, if they want everyone in the town to take this special detoxification pill, even if they dig up the entire villa and sell it, it may not be enough.

Not to mention, we still don’t understand the transmission principle of this plague. If the plague spreads quickly, no matter how many detoxification pills you take, it will be useless.

Zhang Qi was feeling worried when another disciple from Qiqiao Villa walked out of the inn.

He was fully armed, wearing a leather coat that left nothing exposed, and a special gas mask on his head. He came out and reported to Zhang Qi:

"Elder! We have checked and there is no one alive in the inn."

"What about the plague? How is the plague distributed?"

"We checked it with the mice raised by the young master. It has become a poison jar. The mice almost died as soon as they came out."

"So scary..."

Zhang Qi took a breath of cold air, glanced at the passers-by around him, and gave the order again:

"Have the disciples of the villa stretch the isolation line further away, and don't let anyone get close to here! Also find a few more people to record the names of people who have entered and left the villa in the past two days, and then have the secret guards look for them! Remember, be quick!"

Several disciples from the villa who were surrounding him quickly acted according to his orders.

Soon, the isolation line was opened and the surrounding crowd was dispersed.

At the same time, a yellow figure hurried down from the direction of the villa and came to Zhang Qi.

She was wearing a yellow leather coat and a special gas mask made by Li Qi on her head. She came to Zhang Qi and started to check the poisoned bodies.

This person is none other than the Little Medical Fairy Huang Wanmian.

But now she looked nothing like her usual ethereal appearance. Her whole body was wrapped in a big and ugly coat, and her features were concealed by a gas mask. She didn't look like the Little Medical Fairy at all.

If it weren't for the three big words "Huang Wanmian" written on her clothes, no one would be able to connect her with the Little Medical Fairy.

"Fairy Huang, why did you come down?"

Seeing Huang Wanmian coming over, Zhang Qi asked in surprise.

Huang Wanmian said without turning back:
"Heal the disease and save lives."

"But it's dangerous here..."

Zhang Qi was a little embarrassed.

Deep down in his heart, he wanted Huang Wanmian to stay here. After all, the plague would be handled by the Little Medical Immortal of Tianyi Valley, who was a professional match for him.

But Xiao Yixian's identity is too special. She is the direct descendant of Tianyi Valley and the personal disciple of the Valley Master of Tianyi Valley. She may be the successor to the Valley Master in the future.

If something really happened to such a person, Qiqiao Villa would not be able to explain to Tianyi Valley.

"It's okay, I have this."

Huang Wanmian pointed to the leather jacket on her body and said.

A common epidemic that broke out a few years ago was almost treated as a plague by the imperial court because so many people were infected.

After Li Qi and Huang Wanmian went to check in person, they found that it was just a common epidemic. Then Li Qi thought of isolation suits and gas masks.

Afterwards, relying on the technical strength of Qiqiao Villa, we produced medical supplies such as protective clothing, gas masks and masks.

Although limited by technical issues, these things are certainly not as good as modern ones, but in ancient times, they were more than enough to deal with a common epidemic.

So since then, these isolation suits and gas masks have become standard equipment for ordinary disciples in Tianyi Valley.

They also gave this equipment a nice name.

'Dust-proof clothing' and 'air-clearing helmet'.

The name of the mask was not changed because the technical content is not very high.

"Even so..."

Zhang Qi was in a dilemma, but Huang Wanmian had already come to the bodies. After checking them, she raised her head and interrupted him:
"Elder Zhang Qi, let's stop talking nonsense. You need to do something now."

"…What's the matter? Fairy Huang, please feel free to tell me."

"Seal off the entire town. No one can enter or leave. Remember, no one."

Huang Wanmian said seriously.

Zhang Qi's eyes widened, and he asked in shock, "Does it have to go this far?"

"need!"

"But...but you can seal off the town...I can't make the decision on such a big matter."

Zhang Qi hesitated.

The fixed population of Qiqiao Town is not large, only about 30,000 to 50,000 people.

However, due to the reputation of Qiqiao Villa, there are many tourists coming and going. Many people from the underworld will choose to come to this small town to buy Qiqiao Villa's hidden weapons, or new things to take back as gifts.

Most of the funding for Qiqiao Villa also comes from these.

So there are not only locals and people from Qiqiao Villa in the town, but also many foreign tourists.

These travelers have different identities. Although most of them are from small sects or independent cultivators, there are also wealthy people with high status and backgrounds. If everyone is blocked here, Qiqiao Villa will probably offend many people...

"Uncle Qi, do as she says."

When Zhang Qi hesitated, a familiar voice sounded in his ears.

When he turned around, he saw a young man with an unfamiliar face standing next to him.

Zhang Qi didn't know the young man, frowned and was about to ask.

The young man seemed to know what Zhang Qi was going to ask. He flipped his hand and a special token appeared in his hand.

Zhang Qi's pupils shrank when he saw this:
"few……"

"Hush, Uncle Qi, I've been 'abducted' now, and it's impossible for me to be here, so don't make any noise. Just do as Fairy Huang says, and I'll explain to my father."

"..."

Zhang Qi was stunned. He looked at Huang Wanmian, then turned to look at Li Qi who was in disguise. Finally, he turned around and took the disciples of the villa to seal off the town as Li Qi said.

Small towns in ancient times were easy to blockade. If there were city walls, all one had to do was close the walls on all four sides to prevent people from entering or leaving.

Qiqiao Town was established by Qiqiao Villa. Although there is a mayor here, the one who really has the final say is still Qiqiao Villa. Even people from the imperial court can't do anything about it.

Therefore, as long as Zhang Qi and his men talk to the town guards, the entire town can be blocked off in no time.

Zhang Qi led his men away, and apart from the disciples of the villa who were responsible for maintaining order, only Li Qi and Huang Wanmian were left in the field.

Huang Wanmian was a little surprised to see Li Qi appear. She came to Li Qi, looked him up and down, and asked:

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay. That second-rank senior is an old friend of the villa. He kidnapped me just to prevent me from participating in the fight between the six factions. And now..."

Li Qi looked at the corpse at his feet:

"It doesn't matter whether the six factions are fighting or not."

"It really doesn't matter anymore."

Huang Wanmian nodded slightly.

The evil villain left a plague here. If it is not handled properly, it may develop into a plague that affects the entire town or even the entire Cangzhou!

At a time like this, how could the six sects have the time to fight?
After a brief exchange, Li Qi turned the topic to the corpse on the ground and asked:

"Did you find anything?"

"It's the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Sect, but it's not the poison of the Ten Thousand Poison Demonic Art. It's a strange poison that 'leaves no one alive'. It's highly contagious and has a high mortality rate. The stronger and healthier a person is, the more likely they are to be infected and die. It's very tricky."

Huang Wanmian said softly.

Her voice sounded a little muffled due to the mask.

"Leave no one behind..."

Li Qi recited the name of this strange poison.

Just as the name of this strange poison suggests, the characteristic of this poison is that it leaves no one alive wherever it goes!
"The good news is that the innate strong can eliminate this poison with their internal energy and detoxification pills. The bad news is... the acquired realm and ordinary people have no resistance to this poison."

Huang Wanmian said again.

"Isn't it said that this poison has disappeared?"

Li Qi had been in this world for more than a decade, and he often read books that recorded strange things. Naturally, he knew what kind of strange poison this "No One Left Behind" was.

But it is said that this strange poison disappeared completely decades ago. It was not a disappearance in terms of technology, but a disappearance in terms of raw materials.

A special plant required for this strange poison was jointly eradicated by Tianyi Valley and the imperial court, and not even a single root was left.

So even if the technology is there, this strange poison cannot be prepared...

"Perhaps... someone found the remaining poison..."

Huang Wanmian guessed.

The disappearance of the raw materials for making poisons does not mean that there are no poisons left over from the past.

Perhaps this unique poison is hidden inside the Wan Du Sect, and is used here.

"Are you trying to target my Qiqiao Villa?"

Li Qi didn't look very happy.

Even though Li Qi is at the Innate Realm, the people he knows are either at the Innate Realm or the Grandmaster Realm. But in the final analysis, there are more people at the Acquired Realm and ordinary people in this world.

The reason why Qiqiao Villa can develop is also because of those people in the acquired realm and ordinary people, including the surrounding disciples of the villa, who are also in the acquired realm and ordinary people.

If all of them died from this strange poison, it would be a serious loss for Qiqiao Villa!

Wan Ping from the Wan Du Sect was so cruel that he set up such a strange poison.

The Poison Sect...

Li Qi remembered this sect, and he decided that if he had the chance in the future, he would definitely go to the Wan Du Sect to see how confident they were to do such a thing.

Huang Wanmian continued to examine the bodies.

Li Qi helped her from the side, and wanted to ask if there was an antidote for the strange poison that would not leave any survivors.

The two were talking when suddenly a voice spread throughout the town.

"I am Li Xueren from Qiqiao Villa! I gave the order to seal off the entire town. If you have any objections, you can tell me!"

Above the sky, Li Xueren, who had taken off his mask to reveal his true face, stood in the sky, his deep voice drowning out the noise of the entire city.

However, unlike the aura of a second-grade grandmaster that he had displayed before, the aura on Li Xueren's body at this moment was only that of a third-grade master.

It's not even the late third level.

But Li Qi was not surprised by this.

Because this was originally what he and Li Xueren had agreed upon, to show weakness to the enemy, and then sit back and wait.
