Chapter 73. Meeting with Zhu Meng
A cool breeze has begun to blow in the West Lake in autumn, and the lake surface is cold and sparkling.
In the past, the entire West Lake was filled with tourists and scattered old citizens, but now the shores of the West Lake are deserted.
On the one hand, the plague has made people panic, and everyone is reluctant to go out unless necessary for fear of contracting this terrible disease. On the other hand, the entire West Lake has blocked all entrances, no longer allowing any other people to enter this huge lakes and coastal areas.
West Lake is as big as the sea.
On the Su Causeway that runs straight across the West Lake, willow trees are swayed by the wind, looking like many graceful women combing their freshly washed hair at night.
On the long Su Causeway, Zhu Meng and others had already controlled the Totem Black Snake with a super-class lightning array. Even though Tang Yue was crying like a tearful person, they remained indifferent. Facing the urban area of Hangzhou, they mobilized all the residents of Hangzhou. At this moment, they also shouted to kill the snake!
On the other side of the lake, more and more city residents gathered there. Originally, the other side of Su Causeway was far away, but with the huge flow of people, you can actually see the dense flow of people. Everyone's face is full of shock, and more of it is the fear of this unknown creature.
Among the crowd were students studying in magic schools, ordinary businessmen, old men who had just witnessed this scene by chance, ordinary people, and countless wizards who were pursuing the mysteries. They couldn't believe that such a creature lived among them. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes today, how could they believe it?
The crowd was panicked and angry. They felt that someone had deceived them and that someone had disregarded their lives!!
“Kill it!!! Must kill it!!!”
"How can something like this live in West Lake? Kill it now!!"
"So it's what caused the plague! This is a huge disaster!!!"
People's voices gathered together and resounded throughout the West Lake. Even when they reached Su Causeway, they were still clear.
No matter how Tang Yue defended herself, how could she argue with so many people at this moment?
The totem black snake was punished by the thunder ring, and its body was covered with wounds. Its unruly eyes looked a little tired.
It was too weak. It had already suffered a natural punishment during its molting period, and now it was trapped by a human mage in a formation filled with the destructive power of lightning. It was no longer as powerful as before, and lightning and thunder were rampant on it.
It could hear the voices of people on the other side of the river driving it away and wanting to kill it, but it didn't care much. It endured the pain of lightning piercing its body and slowly turned its head to look at Tang Yue on the Su Causeway.
Tang Yue knelt weakly on the edge of Su Causeway. She seemed even smaller under the anger of the entire city.
If it weren't for himself, the Totem Black Snake would never leave the safest place when he was at his weakest.
Just when Tang Yue was feeling extremely regretful, the black snake suddenly crossed the thunder formation. The dancing lightning chains struck its head madly, but it seemed to have become numb and still stretched forward.
It stretched its head very close to Su Di, and for a moment all the judges and palace guards on Su Di retreated a little in fear.
Even though it was suppressed in the Thunder Ring Punishment Array, the Totem Black Snake still possessed a terrifying deterrent power!
Just when people thought that the Totem Black Snake was about to launch its final wave of attacks, the Totem Black Snake's head slowly approached the extremely haggard Tang Yue who was kneeling there.
The snake's tongue curled up and spit out softly from its big mouth. The tip of its red tongue reached in front of Tang Yue and brushed across her cheek. At this moment, the totem black snake was like a gentle elder, comforting a crying child.
This scene moved some people, but when they thought about the threat posed by the plague, the emotion only lasted for a moment.
No matter what time, human nature is like this.
Just as Zhu Meng was about to give the order to continue, a palace guard rushed over, forgetting even to salute, and hurriedly said to Zhu Meng: "Mr. Councillor, the West Fortress requests support!"
Zhu Meng frowned. But at this moment, another palace guard came over with a phone: "Mr. Congressman, Mr. Lu has something urgent to discuss with you."
At this moment, Zhu Meng's face also turned ugly.
This is just a pile of things.
But he still picked up the phone, and the moment he answered, he exclaimed, "What!!!"
At the moment when everyone's eyes were on him, Zhu Meng paused, and then looked very helpless.
“The first patients.”
Zhu Meng looked extremely painful when he said this, and then he said, "All of you go to the West Fortress to guard it first, I will be there soon."
"Zhu Meng, at this time, we should kill it first." Luo Mian said hurriedly after hearing this.
"The Totem Black Snake has amazing endurance. I'm afraid its strength will be completely exhausted in the second half of the night. Only then will you be safe. If you act hastily now, the Totem Black Snake may counterattack you and cause you too much damage. With damage here and no support from the front line, Hangzhou will really face a disaster. The punishment of the Thunder Ring has completely suppressed it. Within a day or two, the Totem Black Snake will never be able to break free from the strongest confinement of this super-class magic. Go to the front line to stabilize the situation first, and after blocking the White Magic Eagle Legion outside the Anjie, it won't be too late to kill it later!" Just when Luo Mian was anxious, Chief Judge Li Tian stood up and said.
Luo Mian's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
He had planned everything, but he never expected that the White Magic Eagle Clan would take advantage of the situation to rob him!!!
But Zhu Meng had already given the order, and the presiding judge had also said so. He knew that he really couldn't move the snake for the time being.
Although he was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to leave with everyone else.
Zhu Meng looked at the people leaving. He suppressed his anger and turned around to rush to the quarantine area.
Soon, Zhu Meng arrived at the quarantine area.
Mr. Lu was the first to briefly explain the situation here.
"So, you said that a young boy found the solution? Then, he didn't give out all the antidotes and wanted to see me?" Zhu Meng asked in disbelief.
"That's right. It was him who asked me to block the news. Maybe he really knows something." Mr. Lu said.
While they were talking, they came into the tent.
Zhu Meng was also a little surprised when he saw Qin Jun, but the situation was tense, so he didn't beat around the bush and said directly: "First of all, thank you for saving these people. Also, I'm in a hurry now, if you have anything to ask me, just tell me directly."
"As for the plague, do you think it's because of that snake? Tell me what's in your mind," Qin Jun said.
Zhu Meng frowned, obviously not expecting Qin Jun to say this to him.
"Who else but it could turn Hangzhou into this state in just a few days!" said Zhu Meng.
"Do you know the totem?"
"Totems are a thing of the past!"
Qin Jun looked at his rigid expression and was furious for a moment: "Do you really have to wait until Hangzhou is breached and corpses are everywhere before you can realize your own worth?"
Zhu Meng: ???
He was a big shot, but he never expected that he would be scolded by a young boy at this moment?
