The Wind-Controlling Swordsmanship from Under One Person

Chapter 155 Scarlet fever, Dustman 4068
"Master Light and Shadow, let me take you back to the Light and Shadow Hall. The followers of the Lord of Light and Shadow are waiting for you."

The handover ceremony was completed smoothly. Charles changed into the city lord's uniform and looked very high-spirited. He clenched his right fist and pressed it against his left chest, bowed slightly, and his manners were very elegant.

Qin Ye shook his head: "You have just taken over as the city lord, and there are many things you need to do. First, stabilize the lighthouse and seize control. Don't waste time on unimportant things. Send someone to take me to Dr. Jiali."

"Dr. Carrie?" Charles looked puzzled.

Carrie is the director of the Lighthouse's Medical Department and Ecological Research Department. She is tough and unsympathetic, a "madman" who is completely absorbed in ecological research. She never takes him and the Light and Shadow Society seriously.

"I don't know what the Master of Light and Shadow wants her to do. I can send someone to give her the order. As you saw just now, that woman has a bad temper. Don't offend the Master of Light and Shadow."

When Morgan announced that Charles would take over as the city lord, Mark, the commander of the Wasteland Hunters, didn't say anything. Perhaps he guessed the reason, and his eyes were always on Qin Ye.

But Carrie mocked Charles in a sarcastic tone.

Fortunately, the latter was in a good mood and did not argue with her, otherwise the first thing he would have done after taking office would have been directed at her.

"Ask less and do more." Qin Ye glanced at Charles condescendingly.

The oppressive and cold gaze instantly cooled the blood of Charles, the successor of the city lord.

At this moment he understood that even though he was the city lord, he was not the only one who had the final say in this lighthouse.

However, he had no complaints about this. As long as it could rekindle hope in the lighthouse, he could accept it. What's more, the other party represented the will of the Lord of Light and Shadow.

"Open your mouth."

Hearing Qin Ye's words, Charles subconsciously opened his mouth, and then a drop of emerald green liquid sank into his mouth and went down his throat.

Then, he felt his whole body was hot, his blood seemed to be boiling, and his body was like a long-dry land welcoming a rain, feeling extremely comfortable and gradually showing new vitality.

As the drug was gradually absorbed, Charles waved his fist in surprise, feeling that his strength had increased significantly. It was as if his body had been relieved of a heavy burden and felt extremely relaxed.

"This is your reward for managing the Light and Shadow Society. After the matter is over, the Lord of Light and Shadow will bestow a greater gift." Qin Ye gave a slap in the face as a sweet gift. The liquid just now was a medicine made from snow lotus.

One drop is useless to him now, but for ordinary people, especially Charles who has lacked exercise for a long time, it is definitely like magic dew.

Charles couldn't hide his joy and bowed again: "Thank you for the medicine, messenger, and praise the Lord of Light and Shadow."

After that, he turned his head and said to Fandi behind him: "You accompany the Lord of Light and Shadow and tell Jiali that the Lord of Light and Shadow's words are my words."

The Light Bearer Vanti responded and led Qin Ye away.

The two did not communicate along the way.

Fanti walked in front wearing high-heeled leather boots and swaying her hips. The hem of her cheongsam was slit to the waist, revealing a hint of sexy black as she swayed.

Qin Yechun looked at it with admiration and then looked away.

Although many people in his previous life longed to go to the Dawn Hall with the Light Bearer, he was not one of them.
As we passed a passage, we heard a loud noise.

Looking sideways, I saw a group of Dust People with green badges on their chests surrounding a food truck that was delivering food to the upper class.

At this time, the dining cart was overturned, and two dust people, a man and a woman, were lying on the ground, frantically stuffing bread without jam and tasteless pure milk into their mouths, completely ignoring the chef's punches and kicks at them.

In modern civilization, I'm afraid no one would be willing to touch these foods even if they were left there.

But they ate with tears streaming down their faces, expressions of surprise and excitement, as if this was the most delicious food they had ever eaten in their lives.

"Hahaha~! Is this Shangmin's food? It's so delicious, so tasty. Everyone, come and try it. It's absolutely delicious!"

A girl with long Muggle braids, about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a badge on her chest showing '4277', ran forward hurriedly.

She didn't come for the food, but to pull the two people who were lying on the ground and fighting for the food.

"3285, 2411, stop eating! This is Shangmin's food. Don't you two want to live?!"

The man pushed 4277 away, holding the bread in his hands with a mad look on his face. His pupils were as small as pinpricks, and he looked around at everyone frantically:

"Death? Aren't we inferior goods just waiting to die? At least I lived like a human being once before I died! You have worked hard all your lives, but you don't know the taste of bread until you die. You might as well die!" His words touched the hearts of many people, but no one dared to come forward to eat the food of the upper class with them.

Long-term oppression has made it impossible for them to resist and they just want to be alive.

The city defense forces arrived at this time, and during the struggle between the two sides, the shirt of the man 3285 was torn, revealing the dense red spots on his shoulders.

Seeing this scene, everyone took a step back.

"It's scarlet fever!"

Crimson fever is a condition related to the 'scarlet pigment' in the Mana ecosystem.

After a disaster, scarlet pigment released by Mana Ecology will remain in the ground air, and its content is related to the ecological density of the area.

Long-term exposure to it will induce scarlet fever. The probability varies depending on the body's resistance. The pathogenic mechanism has not yet been fully identified, but it is known that it is not limited to respiratory infections.

After being infected with scarlet pigment, people will have hallucinations and become violent. Physiological manifestations include shrinking of the iris and rashes on the body. These two people completely meet the symptoms.

As for the final outcome, it will either turn into flesh and earth, or transform into a monster.

The Lighthouse has not conducted any in-depth surveys of the ecosystem and lacks effective treatment and prevention methods for scarlet fever.

All personnel going to the ground to perform missions will undergo "purification" before returning to the lighthouse, which includes checking whether they have induced scarlet fever and spraying measures to reduce the concentration of scarlet hemoglobin in the body.

Lighthouse regulations state that once a patient is found, that person will be directly judged to have given up the right to reside in Lighthouse.

A tall man, carrying a huge mechanical box on his back and wrapped in mechanical armor, strode towards 3285.

Big Dog Sharif, a powerful fighter of the Light and Shadow Society. If the Light Bearer Vanti is Charles' right hand, then this person is his left hand.

The big dog, like a large RoboCop, came to 3285 with a long-handled sword in his hand. With a swing of his arm, he knocked 3285 away with a force beyond the limit of an ordinary person. 's teeth all fell out and he fell to the ground, motionless.

Just as the big dog continued to move forward, the girl 4277 ran up and stood in front of 3285.

"What else do you want to do? He's about to die, can't you just let him go?"

Her words did not sound like a plea for mercy, but rather like an argument for reason.

After all, he is just a newborn calf and has no idea what power is.

The big dog said nothing and slowly raised the big knife in his hand, but then another man ran up and stood in front of the girl. Looking at his badge, it was 4068.

4068 was also very scared, but for the person he loved, he still plucked up the courage to rush out.

"My lord, this Dustman is about to die. He just wants to eat a bite of the food of the Lord. Please spare him."

His attitude was correct, but Big Dog had no intention of letting go of the dustman who crossed the line and obstructed the law enforcers, so he would just chop them all off.

The big dog didn't say anything, or it could be said that he had no language ability at all. In the face of 4068's terrified expression, the big knife in his hand suddenly fell down. Judging from the trajectory of the knife, 4068 behind 4277 was also within the attack range.

"If I had known, I wouldn't have come out!"

This was 4068's last thought. He quickly turned around and protected 4077 under him, closing his eyes and waiting for death to come.

But as time went on, he felt no physical pain.

He turned his head in surprise and saw a figure radiating golden light standing in front of him. The scary sword of the big dog was firmly blocked by the other party and could not fall any further.

Qin Ye naturally didn't really come here to be a savior.

It’s just that these people are all in his plan and are very potential ecological experimental materials.

Can't just waste it.
