Chapter 106 Qingqing, you are the only hope in the whole world!

Since the truth about the Black Serpent Cult was revealed, Su Wanqing and Lu Zhanting's lives have been like walking on the edge of a cliff.

The final battle will eventually come.

But none of them expected it to be this way.

The first warning came from across the ocean.

A bizarre flu outbreak has occurred in New York. Those infected experience a high fever and then see their deepest fears, before going completely insane and attacking everything around them indiscriminately.

The hospital's isolation wards were quickly filled with madmen tearing and scratching.

All antiviral drugs have been declared ineffective.

On television news, a tide of panic engulfed the steel city.

Next up is South America.

Satellite images show that a vast area deep in the Amazon rainforest has come to life overnight.

The plants secreted corrosive venom, and the wild beasts in the forest became bloodthirsty and ferocious.

After a well-equipped scientific expedition team went in, the signal was lost forever in that green hell.

Europe, Paris.

A strange disease, known in the media as "stone skin disease," is quietly spreading.

The patients' skin hardened and keratinized rapidly within days, eventually turning into gray "stone sculptures" devoid of vital signs.

Japan's coastal cities are collectively suffering from amnesia.

Large areas of the inland soil in Australia are becoming desertified.

In Africa, water sources are polluted, and entire tribes live like zombies...

Initially, the countries simply regarded these as bizarre, independent disasters.

But as this intelligence gathered in droves in the capital, a terrifying truth began to surface.

In Lu Zhanting's home, the study was deathly quiet.

“Our overseas informants have confirmed all the reports.” Lu Zhanting hung up the encrypted communication, his voice trembling with barely suppressed rage. “At all the locations where the incidents occurred, there were suspicious Asian individuals active before the events.”

He pushed a stack of telegrams in front of Su Wanqing.

"High-ranking officials in various countries are in a state of panic, and they have even begun to suspect that it is an alien invasion."

Su Wanqing did not look at those documents.

In front of her lay more than a dozen rare handwritten notes left by her mother.

These past few days, she has been working tirelessly, almost to the point of tearing these yellowed pages apart.

She picked up a red pen and, with trembling hands, circled New York, Paris, the Amazon on a huge world map…

As the last red circle fell, those seemingly isolated disaster sites suddenly formed a huge, evil array totem on the map!

Her breath caught in her throat for a moment.

"This is not a virus, nor is it an environmental mutation." Su Wanqing's voice was chilling. "This is a 'Great Calamity Array'!"

Lu Zhanting's pupils suddenly contracted, and he immediately moved closer.

“The Black Serpent Cult’s most vicious forbidden technique.” Su Wanqing pointed to the eerie pattern. “They use the heavens and earth, mountains and rivers as their array, and countless lives as their sacrifices!”

“Every location where an incident occurred was a foothold. They released a ‘panic curse’ in New York and cast a ‘petrification spell’ in Paris…”

"All the fear, despair, death, chaos... all the negative energy caused by the disaster will be continuously absorbed by this great formation."

“When the energy is accumulated to its peak,” she paused, each word heavy with weight, “they can unleash their true killing move.”

"What's the killer move?" Lu Zhanting pressed, his knuckles already white from clenching his fists.

Su Wanqing's face drained of all color.

She turned to the last page of a journal, where four shocking words were written in blood.

"A blood sacrifice for the common people."

"Once the grand formation is complete, Yan Qihuang will be able to detonate all the energy, creating an irreversible super plague across the globe. At that time, all things will wither and life will be extinguished."

"Only he and his followers can survive with the antidote."

"He wants to cleanse the whole world!" Lu Zhanting slammed his fist on the table.

The sturdy solid wood tabletop cracked open with a grotesque fissure!

This is not war.

This is a massacre of all humanity!

Just then, the red encrypted phone on the table emitted a sharp, urgent ringing.

Lu Zhanting answered the call.

On the other end of the phone was his highest direct superior, an old general with the rank of general on his shoulders, whose voice was short and sharp like a military order.

"Zhan Ting, Base One, Supreme Meeting, immediately!"

Half an hour later, at the underground command center of Base One.

The nation's true core decision-making body was all present.

On the giant electronic screen, every piece of information scrolling by pointed to the end of the world.

The leader presiding over the meeting had a stern expression: "Gentlemen, we are facing a war against an invisible enemy."

Top experts from the military, national security, and the Academy of Sciences debated endlessly, yet they couldn't even determine the origin of the attack.

Lu Zhanting stood up.

All eyes in the conference room instantly focused on him.

"I know who the enemy is."

His voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a thunderclap in everyone's ears.

"An organization with a history spanning thousands of years, the Black Serpent Cult. Its leader is Yan Qihuang."

Lu Zhanting revealed Su Wanqing's deductions and everything he knew to the public without reservation.

Poisoning, curses, formations...

When these words came from the mouth of a battle-hardened, iron-willed officer, an absurd atmosphere filled the conference room.

“Comrade Lu Zhanting.” An elderly academician with white hair finally couldn’t help but adjust his glasses, his brows furrowed. “This is not scientific. Our thinking must be based on materialism.”

"Science?" Lu Zhanting turned his gaze to him, his eyes sharp as knives.

"Then please explain scientifically why the virus in New York cannot be isolated and extracted by any instrument? Why are there no lesions in the 'stone sculpture' body tissue in Paris? Why was our fully armed special forces team instantly melted into bones by a vine in the Amazon?!"

He projected encrypted, mind-blowing footage from the Golden Triangle mission directly onto the big screen.

Twisted plants, bizarre corpses, a death scene that defies all the laws of physics.

An eerie silence fell over the conference room.

All arguments and doubts were crushed in the face of these bloody facts.

"I admit, this is unbelievable." Lu Zhanting's gaze swept across the entire room, each word carrying immense weight. "But what we are facing is a madman armed with supernatural powers!"

"Conventional weapons and conventional thinking are ineffective against him!"

The commander's gaze lingered on Lu Zhanting for a long time. Finally, in an almost entrusted tone, he asked in a deep voice:

"What should we do?"

"Find all the weaknesses and destroy them. At the same time, develop an antidote to break the curse and poison," Lu Zhanting said.

He paused for a moment, his voice carrying a hint of pride and tenderness that no one else noticed, unique to Su Wanqing.

"And there is only one person in the whole world who can do all of this."

at the same time.

Su Wanqing was already inside the space.

She stood beside the vibrant spring, her expression one of unwavering resolve she had never shown before.

We can't wait any longer.

We must develop an antidote to combat this catastrophe before Yan Qihuang's grand formation is completed.

She moved all the notes containing the solutions her mother had left behind to the spring and spread them out one by one.

Inside the space, those rare and precious medicinal herbs, long extinct in the outside world, shimmered with a radiant glow in the morning light.

They are the only hope for all mankind.

They analyzed hundreds of types of Gu poison, searched for ways to counteract it among thousands of spiritual herbs, and then used spiritual springs to catalyze and fuse them.

This is a project so vast that it could drive even the most skilled healer to despair.

But she had no way out.

Her mother gave her life to bring her peace.

Now, it's her turn to protect this world.

In Su Wan-qing's eyes, fear and hesitation had long been crushed, leaving only the raging flames of desperate determination.

She rolled up her sleeves and plucked the first "Nine Yang Resurrection Grass" covered in morning dew with her delicate hands.

Without the slightest hesitation, he plunged into the spiritual spring.

The clear spring water suddenly boiled!

A dazzling golden light shot into the sky, illuminating the entire space as bright as day!

The prelude to the decisive battle has begun.

And she was the only ray of light in this apocalyptic battle against the boundless darkness.
