Chapter 807 - 807 Worm
807 Worm
Wang Tianan swallowed and looked at Su Xiaolu in a daze for a long time.
Finally, he found his voice. He nodded heavily. “Okay, I believe you.”
They had tried such a method, but it was useless. The town’s doctors had even made medicine, but in the end, it was the same. They would still fall asleep unknowingly.
Perhaps it would still be useless this time, but for some reason, looking at Su Xiaolu’s determined eyes, he could not help but believe him.
Forget it, so what if he was wrong?
As long as there was a trace of hope, they should try.
There was no time to lose. The two of them went back to their base.
Wang Tianan let Su Xiaolu rest while he went to make arrangements and preparations.
Su Xiaolu smiled and shook her head. She did not have time to rest because she had to prepare the herbs.
Wang Tianan also smiled. Su Xiaolu’s attitude made him believe that no matter how the matter ended, Su Xiaolu had done her best.
Su Xiaolu went out.
Wang Tianan gathered his brothers together. He told them the plan and no one said anything after hearing it.
Wang Tianan frowned and said, “Everyone, believe me. Perhaps there will really be a result this time. Previously, it was all because we always fell asleep at some point. As long as we don’t sleep, we will definitely be able to investigate.”
As long as they didn’t fall asleep, they would definitely be able to see what was taking the people away!
Everyone pondered for a while. After a while, Li Ming spoke first. “Tianan, it’s not that we don’t believe it, but the commoners are already numb. Everyone has lost their vitality and is waiting to die. It wasn’t difficult to gather them previously, but now…”
Previously, everyone still had hope, but as they couldn’t get out, and they couldn’t stop the death, everyone became numb. They lived day by day until the knife hanging above their heads fell on them.
“It’s precisely because of this that we can’t give up. Even if only one person is left, as long as there’s a chance to investigate, we can’t give up. I hope you can come with me and we’ll believe it again. If we still can’t find anything, I’ll go out of town this time.”
Wang Tianan clenched his fists and said word by word.
Everyone knew that they might die in town. If they were lucky, they could live longer.
However, there were only a few days left to live if they went outside the town. So many people had not returned. They must be dead.
Since Wang Tianan was so determined, Li Ming and the others were motivated as well.
“Alright, it’s getting late. I’ll wake everyone up now and gather the entire town in the training grounds.”
Li Ming echoed loudly and everyone nodded.
Wang Tianan nodded.
Once again, everyone was gathered.
The commoners did resist at first, but when they heard the soldiers’ words, everyone hesitated.
That’s right. Who wanted to be a fool?
How could they not want their deceased relatives to die in peace?
Where had those missing people gone? Could their remains be found?
People gradually put down their work and gathered at the camp.
Su Xiaolu arrived at the town’s medical center. The old doctor had already disappeared and the medicine cabinet was already dusty. Su Xiaolu bowed respectfully at the door before opening the door to look for the herbs she needed.
Su Xiaolu took out the precious Ghost Orchid. This medicinal herb could multiply the medicinal properties by many times.
The sky gradually darkened.
Su Xiaolu returned to the camp with the herbs she had made. She followed everyone to the training ground.
The commoners sat together. Because they were in low spirits, no one spoke.
Wang Tianan walked towards Su Xiaolu with hope in his eyes. “Young Master Su, are these all medicines?”
Su Xiaolu nodded. They were all black and hard, like big rocks.
“Just put these in the brazier, one every two meters, and burn them with the fire.”
Su Xiaolu said to Wang Tianan.
Wang Tianan nodded. It was almost dark, and pillars of fire were lit everywhere.
Wang Tianan carried the bucket and went to work.
As the sky darkened bit by bit, the fire illuminated the entire training ground.
The commoners were inside, and all the soldiers were guarding them in high spirits.
Mantis Shrimp also began to walk around the people. Su Xiaolu followed Mantis Shrimp.
“Xiaolu, Xiaolu, everyone here has that smell. When they gather together, the smell is so strong.”
Mantis Shrimp was very distressed. Logically speaking, these commoners were all terrified and uneasy now. Apart from working and going to their homes, they didn’t dare to go far.
Where did this smell come from?
Su Xiaolu looked at the commoners sitting in groups of twos and threes. She was deep in thought.
The night grew darker.
None of them fell asleep.
It was already after midnight.
There was no sleepiness, which gave everyone hope.
Everyone began to look at each other and around them.
Wang Tianan and the others were also very excited. This time, they wanted to see what kind of demon was causing trouble!
Everyone began to check on themselves.
The night was about to pass, the sky had already retreated and started to turn gray.
A trace of joy finally appeared on the numb faces of the commoners.
“Tianan, it’s almost dawn. The demon hasn’t come yet. They must have stopped coming because we couldn’t sleep. But if they don’t come, what should we do next?”
Li Ming looked at the sky and revealed a worried expression. He looked at Wang Tianan, hoping that he would have an idea.
Wang Tianan was also vexed. They couldn’t gather people every day without sleeping.
It would be good if something happened.
If nothing happened, things would only reach an impasse.
Even if something happened and someone’s life was in danger, Wang Tianan prayed that something would happen as soon as possible. He had never looked forward to anything happening.
A figure slowly stood up from the crowd.
The woman beside him was stunned. Then, she tugged at the man’s sleeve and asked softly, “Master, what are you doing?”
The man did not answer. He just stood there in a daze.
The woman asked again, “What are you doing? Sit down quickly. Everyone is sitting. It’s almost dawn.”
The man still did not respond. The woman sensed that something was wrong. She pulled the man hard, but the man’s body stiffened and his hands were cold. The woman’s eyes immediately turned red. She opened her mouth, and her upper and lower lips were trembling. Her voice choked. “Don’t scare me. Say something—”
There was no response. The woman finally broke down.
“Dear, what’s wrong—”
The woman’s panicked and sobbing voice entered everyone’s ears.
The woman’s voice attracted attention. First, the people around their family began to get up and disperse.
The woman looked terrified. She held the child in her arms and looked helplessly at the man who had not responded to her. She could not believe that this had fallen on her.
When Wang Tianan and the others heard the sound, they immediately separated this family from the others. The closer Su Xiaolu got, the calmer her voice was. “I’m a doctor.”
