Chapter 773: Severe Punishment in Troubled Times

Tang Xiu decided to leave after addressing the issue with the Qingyuan Group. The Chinese leaders asked him to come to Mist Source with a clear purpose, that was: solving the problem with the Darkening Virus and to maintain the order and safety of the island’s inhabitants.

Of these two problems, Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou was now dealing with one and he did not need to concern about it much. He also had nearly solved the second problem.

The following issue he had to carry out was to maintain order, security, and safety of the Mist Source Island’s people, and deal with whoever took advantage to make things more chaotic and fishing in troubled waters. The most important thing he had to do under such a desperate situation was to deal with the criminals causing riots.

The police system on Mist Source Island could be said to have been practically paralyzed. The police force had been infected by the Darkening Virus, so how would they still have time to worry about the civilians’ safety? Hence, he could not count on them in any way.

“Boss, I always felt like something was a bit odd here.”

At the entrance of the Qingyuan Group’s building, Jin Shi frowned and spoke to Tang Xiu, who just sat in the car.

“What is it, exactly?” asked Tang Xiu.

“We spent 2 hours and 45 minutes ever since we entered the Qingyuan Group until we left, and a full two hours were particularly spent inside the meeting room. We are cultivators, so we are free from being infected by the Darkening virus since we can use our True Essence to block the virus. But from what I’ve seen, all those top executives of the Qingyuan Group clearly have signs of being infected, but none of them were using any electrostatic generator device to suppress the virus inside their bodies. That’s precisely what feels amiss.”

After hearing this, Tang Xiu’s expression suddenly changed. He did overlook this issue a while ago and did not expect that Jin Shi was able to notice it. After blaming his own neglect inwardly, he immediately said, “Immediately call Li Heming and tell him to come here!”

“Got it,” Jin Shi replied.

A few minutes later, Li Heming rushed over. When he saw the license plate on the car Tang Xiu was in, a glint flashed in his eyes. The letter and numbers were written in black color and started with a red colored character, a typical military plate. As Li Heming’s gaze fell on Tang Xiu behind the window, he made his posture even lower as he came before the window and respectfully said, “Do you have any instructions for me, Mr. Tang?”

“Did something particular happened with the Qingyuan Group?” Tang Xiu asked, “It’s very obvious that all of you have been infected by the Darkening Virus, but how come none of you are using electrostatic producing devices to suppress it?”

“The company has installed an electrostatic discharger inside since the Boss… err, Miao Hengfu ordered us to buy it from a group of foreign forces. This electric discharger can cover the entire building, so all the employees inside don’t need any other electrostatic producing devices,” said Li Heming quickly.

“An electrostatic discharger?”

Tang Xiu’s spirit shook since he did not expect that there was such an object nowadays. After thinking about it for a while, he immediately asked, “What’s the maximum area that can be covered by this electrostatic discharger, exactly? I mean, can you cover the entire Mist Source Island with it?”

“I also asked about this to Miao Hengfu before. The electrostatic discharger that’s being used by our Qingyuan Group should be the most powerful one in the line, but it can only cover a few kilometers in diameter. This electrostatic discharger was an object of little value in the past, since not only is it not useful to humans, but instead brings harm to the human body.”

Tang Xiu nodded without a word as he could tell that Li Heming should be saying the truth. He thought about the issue for a while and then slowly asked, “Can you still buy this electronic discharger?”

“I don’t know.” Li Heming shook his head. “It was Miao Hengfu who bought it, and it seemingly cost him quite a bit. Regardless, though, I know the origin of the seller. They come from the Commonwealth of Micronesia.”

Tang Xiu could only nod helplessly. He knew this group of people. How would he be able to buy such an electrostatic discharger from them since they had been completely decimated by the Stygian Club? He fell into thought for a while and recalled that Divine Doctor Gui Jianchou told him that the results of the antivirus he was developing could only be seen by midday tomorrow. After remembering this, Tang Xiu then suppressed his idea to buy a massive number of electrostatic dischargers.

“Anyways, is there a relatively clean place in the company? I want to assign some people to stay here.”

Li Heming asked back, “May I ask how many people precisely, Mr. Tang?”

After pondering about it, Tang Xiu eventually shook his head and said, “Ah, forget it, then. In any case, the research for the cure of the Darkening Virus should be finished by tomorrow, so I don’t need to trouble myself with it.”

He originally planned to tell Tang Han to bring her confidantes here. But he eventually gave up the idea since he did not want any outsiders to find out that he and Tang Han were related. The Qingyuan Group itself had many people, and it would be very easy to have their relationship exposed to the outside.

Tang Xiu headed directly there after leaving the Qingyuan Group, while Mo Awu and the rest then rushed to catch up to inform him that they had exterminated the remnants of those foreign forces.

“This place has turned tranquil now, Boss.” Mo Awu spoke in a relaxed voice as he looked at Tang Xiu, who was smoking on the sofa.

“What you meant by peaceful should be because you just removed all those foreign forces, no?” refuted Tang Xiu indifferently. “The fact is, we are still far from achieving true peace here. The Darkening Virus has infected all inhabitants on Mist Source Island, creating chaos and panic. Some unscrupulous people who already harbored evil intentions will be fanning the flames of chaos to destroy order right in this period of time. Also, even though the Darkening Virus is being temporarily suppressed, people will still be jittery and panicky as long as it isn’t fully solved. The longer the delay, the more likely it will bring disorder and chaos.”

Mo Awu scrunched up and said, “You mean…”

“The twelve people in our team shall be divided into six groups, four of which are to rush to the four big cities, Python, Wolfpack, Twin Brooks, and Mixed Summit City, in order to maintain the order among the civilians. You are to execute and kill anyone who harbors evil intention or commit something extreme. The other two groups will need to work hard as they will have to scour all the villages in the entire Mist Source Island.”
