Chapter 244 Pathogens

……

Four days have passed.

Wu Wen finally relied on his experience in extracting the "smallpox vaccine" to...

They produced a "virus vaccine" containing the bloodline of the snake.

He held a vial of "virus vaccine" sealed in a clear crystal bottle.
Looking at the bottle, which was only half full of clear liquid.

Despite its small quantity, it took Wu Wen a considerable amount of effort.

"Dang~dang~dang~"

Suddenly, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Wu Wen, who was in seclusion, frowned slightly.

He went forward and opened the door.

He discovered that the visitor was none other than Lü Cai, who had been handling his official duties.

"What happened?"

Seeing Lü Cai's solemn expression, Wu Wen knew that something must have happened.

"My lord, something terrible has happened! A plague has broken out in the city!"

Plague! If this is not handled properly, the entire city of Panyu could become a dead end.

Wu Wen immediately rushed towards the palace.

On the way, he asked Lü Cai, "What happened? How could a plague break out in the city?"

"This is all due to my dereliction of duty!"

Lu Cai explained in a panic: "According to my investigation, this plague broke out two days ago."

Originally, only a small number of people in the city were infected with the disease, but in Lingnan, a place with a harsh climate, this was not uncommon.

So, nobody took it to heart.

But only two days later, the disease suddenly broke out on a large scale and could not be contained at all. Even in the palace, a large number of people fell ill. Only then did the subordinates realize that this was a plague outbreak.

"My subordinates have tried every conceivable measure, but to no avail. Now, the only option is to seal off Panyu City to prevent the plague from spreading."

As he spoke, Lü Cai's face showed a somber expression: "My lord, this plague came suddenly and strangely. If it is not handled properly, I'm afraid the plan to govern Lingnan will fall through!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen turned to look at him expressionlessly: "You mean to say that someone doesn't want the mountain people to move into the city, so they're secretly causing trouble?"

Lu Cai did not answer, but his expression clearly showed that the plague was deliberately caused by someone.

"Take me to see the patient first; I need to figure out what's wrong with him!"

Wu Wen suddenly changed direction and walked towards the outside of the palace.

Seeing this, Lü Cai hurriedly stopped him: "Your Highness, you mustn't! This illness is extremely serious. You are of noble status and must not take such a risk!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Wu Wen waved his hand dismissively.

He's not even afraid of radiation.
No matter how severe the plague is, can it compare to his body?
We arrived at the palace gate.

At this time, Ma Daxiong, the leader of the Li people, was leading his men to guard the palace gate.

Upon seeing Wu Wen arrive, Ma Daxiong immediately rushed over in a panic: "My lord, something terrible has happened! I have already expelled all the sick people from the palace, but people are still falling ill. If this continues, I'm afraid the palace will be even less safe than the outside world."

Hearing this,

Wu Wen immediately stopped his steps as he was about to leave the palace.

"Is anyone in the palace still ill at this moment?"

"Have."

"Take me there."

Led by Ma Daxiong, Wu Wen arrived at a side room in the corner.

“My lord, the five people inside were just discovered to be ill, but their condition is not yet serious. I am planning to send them out of the palace,” Ma Daxiong explained, standing far away by the door.

"Open the door!" Wu Wen ordered.

"You, go open the door." Ma Daxiong didn't dare to approach and sent a guard to open the door.

The guard nervously stepped forward and opened the door.

Wu Wen strode straight in. Inside the room,
The five guards, who appeared to be unharmed but slightly ill, sat there lifeless, as if they knew that death awaited them.

Wu Wen stepped forward,
After a thorough examination and diagnosis,

He suddenly lifted his eyelids.
He then quickly left the room.

"Ma Daxiong!" Wu Wen shouted.

Ma Daxiong immediately stepped forward respectfully.

"Go and summon the guards I had assigned to watch over that courtyard a few days ago."

The guards responsible for watching over the animal experimental enclosure were arranged by Ma Daxiong.

Upon hearing this, Ma Daxiong pondered for a moment before replying directly, "My lord, those people have all fallen ill and left the palace. Now, only one person remains in the palace unharmed."

"Who is this person?"

"My people, Aman!"

"Send him over here immediately!" Wu Wen snapped.

Not knowing why Wu Wen was so angry, Ma Daxiong immediately went to find him himself.

Just now, when Wu Wen was examining the five people in the room who were suffering from the plague, he suddenly discovered that the illness was caused by a "virus" from the experimental monkey.

This proves that the plague actually originated from that monkey.

Aside from himself, only a few guards responsible for watching over the courtyard had ever come into contact with that monkey.

He had already ordered that the monkey and all the experimental subjects' corpses be cremated and buried deep inside.

Therefore, the cause of this plague was either that they did not follow their orders and did not cremate or bury the bodies properly, but simply threw them away somewhere, which led to the spread of the virus.
Either one of these guards was infected and became the source of the virus, infecting wherever he went!
—

Not long after,

Ma Daxiong then brought his Li people, including Aman, to Wu Wen.

Ah Man was intimidated by Wu Wen's imposing aura, and lowered her head in fear, meekly and submissively, completely unaware of what she had done wrong.

"Let me ask you, how did you handle the corpses in the courtyard that I asked you to deal with?" Wu Wen looked sharply at Aman.

"Reporting to...Reporting to Your Excellency, we followed your instructions, took them to a secluded place, burned them, and then buried them on the spot," Aman replied, her voice trembling, not daring to raise her head.

Wu Wen stared intently at him, noticing no sign that the other man was lying. His gaze then turned serious again, and he questioned him:
"Did you come into contact with anyone else while handling the body? Or did anything unusual happen?"

Wu Wen asked this question simply to check if anyone else had come into contact with the corpses, thus expanding the scope of the infection.

Unexpectedly, under Wu Wen's powerful aura, Aman confessed everything about stealing and eating monkey brains.

Upon hearing this, Wu Wen looked at the person in front of him with considerable surprise.

The source of the raw monkey brain incident has been found!

Wu Wen grabbed Aman and pulled her close.

You've got some nerve, kid!

With keen eyes, he discerned his physical condition.

Aman was so frightened by Wu Wen's sudden action that she trembled all over, her legs went weak, and she could barely stand. She felt as if those eyes could see right through her internal organs.

With abundant blood and qi, strong bones and muscles, powerful and rhythmic pulsation of the internal organs, and a deep and powerful breath...

This is a physique with excellent physical attributes, comparable to the "body of a tiger and leopard with thunderous roar"!

Wu Wen was reminded of Yang Erlang from Chang'an by the physical condition of this Li man, Aman.

Yang Erlang's physical constitution far surpasses that of ordinary people, making him comparable to a tiger or leopard. He has an enormous appetite and can continuously strengthen his physique simply by eating.

But judging from the situation of this Li man, Aman, in front of us...
His physical constitution must have been acquired recently.

Otherwise, given his talent and physical abilities, he shouldn't be so poor; he would have surpassed his leader, Ma Daxiong, long ago.

Therefore, it can be concluded that

After he ate raw monkey brains and was infected by a virus from a test monkey, the virus not only did not damage his body, but instead integrated with him.
This caused his body to change and be strengthened.

A perfect fusion, a perfect form!
Wu Wen stared intently at Aman, his tone cold and serious, and asked:

"After you ate the raw monkey brain, did you experience any unusual symptoms? For example, fever, cough, fatigue, or any rashes or spots on your body?"

Upon hearing this, Aman thought carefully for a moment and replied:
"Looking back now, I did feel extremely tired that day. As soon as I got home, I went straight to sleep. I slept until noon the next day. It was only when the captain came to wake me up that I was awakened. I almost got beaten up because of that."
