West Fortress...

Many youngsters were carrying mops and buckets to clean the blood stains on the road.

One of the youngsters hurled his mop and yelled furiously, ”I want to join the battle. I'm not here to do some cleaning!”

”The corpses must be dealt with in time. Otherwise, it will trigger an outbreak. Hangzhou City is already suffering from one. We can't allow West Fortress to fall into one too...” said Wang Xiaojun.

Suddenly, a scream of agony was heard coming from the bunker.

The youngsters were stunned. It took them a while to collect their thoughts.

Wang Xiaojun quickly rushed into the bunker and saw a group of Battlemages rushing out in fear.

”What's wrong? What happened?” asked Wang Xiaojun.

”Plague, it's the plague. Big Li is covered with blisters!” screamed one of them.

Wang Xiaojun pushed his way inside and saw a half-naked man crouching in the corner, scratching the blisters on his skin. His nails had already pierced the blisters open. Blood with a foul scent flowed out from them, hideous to see.

The soldiers in the bunker were absolutely terrified and ran away.

Everyone was well aware of how contagious the virus was. If someone had caught the virus in the army, soon the whole army would be infected!

”Big Li, are you alright?” Wang Xiaojun worriedly walked up and asked.

”What are you doing here? Stay away from me!” the young Battlemage yelled at the young man.

”Wang Xiaojun, it's none of your business. Move aside, the medical team will be here soon!” A soldier came up and shoved the youngster aside.

The soldier stood beside the patient, not daring to move any closer.

Wang Xiaojun rubbed his butt as he walked out from the bunker and murmured, ”That's no plague, it's just the poison after being bitten by the poisonous rat!”

As he was mumbling under his breath, a girl wearing a red and black dress with plum blossoms quickly went up to him. Wang Xiaojun's eyes widened when he saw the little beauty.

Since when did the fortress have such a gorgeous girl? Look at those adorable double ponytails, and the soft, tender legs under the dress. She would surely grow into a gorgeous beauty!

”Hey, what were you saying just then?” Little Loli approached the youngster and asked in a proud and cold voice.

”How impolite, you should call me brother!” said Wang Xiaojun.

”Save the nonsense, tell me what you're murmuring just now, why were you saying that it isn't a plague?” asked Lingling.

”It's definitely not a plague. I had it when I was out catching some rats before. My hands were covered with the blisters, but once I applied the sap of the Red Falcon Herbs to my skin, it was gone fairly quickly!” Wang Xiaojun glanced at the slightly disdainful little loli and decided to tell the truth.
