Chapter 655 - 645 Growth of the Four-leaf Clover
The midday sun cast warm rays, and fresh green shoots stealthily emerged from the soil, adding a touch of spring to the city, signaling the end of the long winter.
On this day, when spring blossoms bloomed, it was also time for schools to open. But all the schools in Tongling City had postponed their start dates, and the streets were somewhat deserted, with only a few pedestrians scattered around.
In order to maximize public safety without causing widespread panic, the Association, through the health department of the Tongling City Government, had announced a few days ago that a new and difficult-to-cure disease had been discovered in Tongling City. This disease spread easily in densely populated areas. In a sense, this information was actually true; only the severity was downplayed significantly.
Because of this announcement, most of Tongling City’s residents stayed indoors. This was the effect the Hunters Association wanted to achieve. Without crowds, the plant virus couldn’t spread quickly, and the Association could control the situation more swiftly.
At this moment, the happiest group in the entire Tongling City were probably the children whose school openings had been delayed due to the epidemic...
Above the city’s center, a thin white fog floated, within which Wen Wen stood, looking down upon the city.
According to conversations Wen Wen had overheard through his chains, in another hour or two, the sixteen hidden infection points of the plant virus would erupt completely, shrouding this city—already suffering from poor air quality due to the mining industry—in a layer of blood.
Wen Wen couldn’t prevent this event from happening, he could only do as much as possible to mitigate it.
Nearly twenty Rangers had come based on Wen Wen’s intelligence and more than a hundred Demon Hunters of various levels, as well as a ten-thousand-strong emergency response force, stood ready. They could reach any corner of the city as quickly as possible—this was the best Wen Wen could do.
