Chapter 454 I can’t save you!

Lei Hu was beaten black and blue and was locked up in a small dark room in the Flame Shrine.

If it weren't for the fact that he and himself had the same Lei family blood, Lei Zongnan wouldn't mind chopping him into pieces and feeding him to the dogs.

When he was dragged out, he was still yelling and asking what he had done wrong. He was loyal to the president.
Damn idiot!
After Lei Zongnan had a tantrum, he realized that the situation was urgent and he could not delay any longer, so he had to make a decision as soon as possible.

"Pass my order and have all the black robes come to the meeting room."

"Yes." The deacon next to him immediately took the order.

"Where is the Saint? Let her go and see what's going on. No matter what means are used, we must stop the spread of the plague."

"Until the source of infection is identified, it is forbidden for people to gather together in the community, let alone visit the homes of those infected."

"Take my warrant and isolate the families of those infected. No one except the Saint is allowed to enter or leave."

"Yes." Another deacon ran out quickly.

Lei Zongnan began to change his clothes with the help of two maids in green, and an old man in a gray robe appeared beside him.

He was clearly the lowest-ranking gray robe in the shrine, yet he was able to enter and leave the shrine late at night and stay by the president's side.

Obviously, these are Lei Zongnan's true confidants.

"President, don't be angry." The old man in gray robe spoke to comfort him.

Lei Hu's screams could be heard from far away, and he could even hear them at the gate of the shrine.

Lei Zongnan was extremely respectful to the old man. He looked at him and asked, "Mr. Yan, have you investigated? What exactly is going on?"

"That idiot Lei Hu knows nothing, yet he came to me to report. I really want to chop off his head."

"Don't worry, President. Apart from the few people who ate dog meat, no one else has had any adverse reactions so far."

Mr. Yan knew what the president was worried about.

Being an official for thousands of miles is just for money.

You have to have life to spend your money.

He didn't know the source and nature of the plague, and he didn't know how he was infected.

Lei Hu, who had come into contact with the deceased, ran directly in front of him, which filled him with panic.
What if I get caught too?
Although I believe in the God of Fire, he has never appeared to protect me.

"The organizer of the dinner is called Chen Dayou. He did not eat dog meat, so he seems to be fine until now."

"Is it just the dog meat that has a problem?"

"Not sure." Mr. Yan shook his head and said, "It depends on whether there are other infected people."

"Yeah." Lei Zongnan nodded, and asked with a sinister look, "Is Chen Dayou okay?"

"I used my soul-searching hand to interrogate him. He is just an ordinary gray-robed man. He killed a black dog in the woods this afternoon, so he wanted to ask his team leader to help him. The team leader asked the captain, and the captain asked Wang Sanguang."

Lei Zongnan knew the power of the soul-searching technique. If he used it with all his strength, the person being tortured would probably even remember how many times he wet the bed as a child.

"Because there were too many people, he had no chance to get into the pit, so he could only do some work as a waiter on the side. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise and he saved his life."

Lei Zongnan sneered and said, "A murder caused by a black dog? Eating dog meat cost me more than a dozen brothers?"

"The problem must be with the black dog. It must have eaten something radioactive, and then Wang Sanguang and his men ate it, and that's why it became like this."

"If that's true, there's nothing to worry about." Lei Zongnan said.

We are afraid that there will be other infected people and the disease will spread widely within the shrine.

That would be too bad.

Lei Zongnan put on his leather boots and said, "Let's go to the meeting room."

"Yes, President." The old man responded respectfully.

In the meeting room, six or seven black-robed men were gathered together to discuss something, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull. These black-robed men were officials who performed their duties in the Divine Palace. Black-robed men like Wang Tianlong were sent to various areas to be responsible for the pastoral care.

This is not the time for meetings.

The transportation is inconvenient and we can’t make it in time.

When Lei Zongnan walked into the room, everyone bowed to him.

"Meet the president."

Lei Zongnan sat down directly at the main seat, looked around, and asked, "Does everyone know about this?"

"understood."

"I just heard about it and was about to go find out more about it."

"They say there is a curfew in the community and people are not allowed to come in and out as they please."
-
"What do you think?" Lei Zongnan asked.

No one answered.

No one knows what is going on, how to answer?

They are good at killing and arson, but they are not good at curing diseases and saving lives.
How would they understand this?

If they understood these, wouldn't they also be able to become saints?
"Forget it, let's wait until the Saint comes. I've already sent someone to invite her." Lei Zongnan also questioned the character of these subordinates. They were more ferocious than anyone else when it came to fighting for territory and supplies, but when it came to the treatment and prevention of the plague, the Saint had to step in.

After all, this is the job that the Saint has always been responsible for.

"Yes, for this kind of thing, the Saint has to step in. The Saint's medical skills are beyond reproach."

"How can we, the rough folks, understand this? The saint stuffed the pill into my mouth and I didn't even know what I was eating."

"We'll have to wait until the Saint comes over before we know what's going on. We're in the dark now, what can we discuss?"
-
At this moment, a steward ran in quickly and said in a hurry: "President, it's bad, Chen Dayou is dead."

"Dead? How did he die?" Lei Zongnan frowned. Mr. Yan had just said that he was fine and there was nothing wrong with his body.

He is currently being held in the shrine prison, and we will have to interrogate him a second time later.

"He just died inexplicably." The deacon looked terrified. He was the person in charge of the prison, and he had to take responsibility for the death of the person there: "We didn't let anyone go in to see him."

"How did he die?" Mr. Yan asked in a deep voice.

"The whole body was stiff and foaming at the mouth"

Everyone's faces were ashen.

Chen Dayou, who did not eat dog meat, also died. So, this plague
How is this thing transmitted?

Have these people been infected?

At this moment, An Ning walked in with heavy steps.

When everyone sees An Ning, it’s like they’ve seen their backbone.

"The Saint is here."

"Saint, what is going on?"

"Is this a plague? Or did someone poison us?"
-
An Ning ignored the questions from the black-robed men, her eyes filled with worry, and she looked at Lei Zongnan and said, "President, I went to see the dead."

"This is a plague caused by a viral infection, a terrible infectious disease."

"I've read the information. This virus appeared before the apocalypse. The experts and scholars at the time gave it a name, called the zombie virus."

"Before I got here, several more people died from it. What's even more worrying is that we still don't know how it's spreading or how many people are infected."

"Can he be saved?" Lei Zongnan asked anxiously.

An Ning shook her head and said, "I can't save him."
