383 Tracking Down the Councilman (2/2)

”Stop it, don't be so rough!” Luo Mian immediately rebuked his men.

The Councilman with a goatee wore a gentle smile and took the initiative to hold the patient's hand before saying with a firm tone, ”Brother, take a rest here. Once we kill the snake that's responsible for the plague, you will recover in no time. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough firepower at the moment, so we can't touch him yet.”

”I heard that a tribe in Hangzhou City is worshiping the snake like a god. Councilman Luo Mian, is that true? If so, the entire tribe must be held responsible. We should hunt them down and burn every one of them alive!” snapped a man who had just caught the plague.

The words immediately infuriated the crowd. Many immediately transformed their sorrow into rage.

”Everyone, please calm down... We are trying our best to resolve the plague. As for the medical fees, I've already submitted a request to the government. I'll handle most of the fees for you, and we've already found out who's responsible for the plague. It will soon be over, so please bear with us for a while longer!” Councilman Luo Mian said sincerely to the patients.

”We will always trust Councilman!”

”That's right!”

With Luo Mian's statement, the quarantine zone which was about to have an uproar rapidly calmed down.

Mr. Lu just happened to witness the entire sequence. He went up with a smile and bowed slightly, ”Only Councilman has the ability to calm the crowd.”

”What ability, I'm just placing myself in their shoes,” Councilman Luo Mian gave a signal to his men, so he could have some time alone with Mr. Lu. ”Mr. Lu, do you have any strong poison? You also know that the snake is responsible for the plague. We've trapped him with a Super Lightning Formation, but as most of the experts were sent to the frontline, we can't execute him in time. Didn't you mention that the snake's bile is the key to finding the cure? If you can provide us with some poison to kill the snake, we can easily resolve the situation. Any minute spent waiting could cost a person's life.”

Mr. Lu understood Councilman Luo Mian's intention, but he shook his head with a troubled look, ”Frankly speaking, the Black Totem Snake is no doubt a specialist with poison. The strongest poison is no different than spring water in his eyes. I don't think it's possible to use poison on him.”

Councilman Luo Mian frowned. It was not something he wanted to hear.

”If that's the case, does Mr. Lu have any idea? I feeluneasy when I see so many people dying on the beds,” asked Luo Mian.

”Well...as a matter of fact, from our latest analysis of the snake's blood and the virus, we've discovered that the snake's poison and the virus of the plague are not from the same source. In my opinion, Councilman shouldn't put too much effort into trying to kill the snake,” said Mr. Lu.

”Is that so?” Councilman Luo Mian seemed surprised.

”I have to continue searching for the cure. If you would excuse me,” said Mr. Lu.

Councilman Luo Mian stared at Mr. Lu's back. The worry on his face slowly turned into panic and anger.

The situation was getting out of his control. First, the military had taken away the blood serums. Now, Mr. Lu had also discovered that the snake had nothing to do with the plague. If they weren't quick enough, their whole plan would be in vain!

”You!” snapped Councilman Luo Mian coldly.

”Yes.”

”Proceed with the initial plan.”

”Affirmative!”
