Xiao Cao had read many online novels. With her reading speed and intelligence, she must have read hundreds of thousands of novels, regardless of genre or language. So, when she had some free time to explore the surroundings, she suddenly had the idea to follow the plot described in the novels and first carefully investigate the important units in the area surrounding the city.
Power plants, substations, telecommunications companies, water companies, gas companies, traffic light control centers of the traffic management bureau, as well as some chemical plants and other units containing hazardous chemicals, were all first sorted out by Xiaocao.
Xiaocao could only monitor and listen to more than 3,000 scenes at the same time. In a city with a population of 500,000, she had to selectively investigate targets, which is why she found Ge Ping'an immediately.
The ten-kilometer distance was covered in an instant. Ge Ping'an, who was still kneeling on the ground, suddenly felt a strong gust of wind and vaguely felt that two people appeared in front of him.
Lifting his tear-blurred face, Ge Ping'an stared blankly at Lin Yao, speechless and without fear. He had used up all his fear, and now only numbness remained.
"Yaoyao, this man still has a shred of conscience left. Quickly ask him who ordered the poisoning, don't force him!"
The little grass quickly advised Lin Yao on how to proceed, and then fell silent.
"Please stay calm. The lives of 500,000 people are in your hands. Tell me, who ordered you to poison them? It's not too late to correct your mistakes now."
Lin Yao forced a smile, but it was clearly an ugly one. His furrowed brows and the smile made him look very strange. However, Ge Ping'an couldn't see it because his eyes were full of tears, and he could only vaguely see two blurry figures in front of him.
"It's too late...it's already too late..."
Ge Ping'an murmured as if in a dream, tears streaming down his face again, "So many people died, it's all my fault, it's all my fault..."
"We can try our best to save as many people as possible from dying, but we need your help."
Lin Yao suppressed his anger and tried to soothe the man in front of him, whose name he did not yet know, in the gentlest voice, "If you cooperate, we can save hundreds of thousands of people from dying. Please tell me who is behind this? I need to get the method to save the plague from him."
The First Elder, Yi Potian, stood aside without saying a word. He was completely unaware of the situation and knew he had no right to speak, nor should he interrupt Lin Yao.
Although he didn't know the inside story, from Lin Yao and Ge Ping'an's conversation, Yi Potian clearly understood that it was this man in front of him who had poisoned the city, causing the widespread epidemic and the deaths of so many citizens. A surge of anger welled up within him, but he suppressed it firmly, his facial expression remaining unchanged. He knew that letting Lin Yao take charge was the best option at this moment; he only needed to be vigilant about his surroundings.
"It's no use. That's not a human, it's a devil. You can't catch him. He can easily turn a kitchen knife into a pile of scrap metal. We can't escape, we'll all die."
Ge Ping'an was already heartbroken. At the last moment of poisoning, he hesitated. Even though he wanted to live a good life with Jin Xiangyu, he couldn't bring himself to throw his work clothes into the reservoir.
At this moment, Ge Ping'an had already conceived the idea of dying. He was unwilling to reveal "Mr. Liu" and only hoped that the last woman in this world worth protecting could be safe and sound. He hoped that she would be free from AIDS in the future and perhaps think of him from time to time.
For the hundreds of thousands of citizens of Yanji, Ge Ping'an knew that even if he stopped poisoning them, they were doomed. He had heard from "Mr. Liu" that this virus was indestructible, and not poisoning them now would only prolong their lives by a day or two. Death was inevitable.
"Elder."
Lin Yao frowned, staring intently at Ge Ping'an, his tone becoming stern.
The First Elder, Yi Potian, reached out and beckoned. The wrench belonging to the unconscious water company employee on the ground instantly entered his palm. With a surge of energy, the wrench twisted and quickly turned red-hot, as if it had been scorched by the highest temperature flames, becoming a lump of molten steel that fell onto the water-covered ground with a soft thud.
"Yaoyao, we found him! His name is Ge Ping'an. He lives in a residential area in Yanji City. I don't know the exact address, but I know that the water company's computer system says it's No. 17 Anwen Road, Building 3, Apartment 402. Let him take us there quickly!"
Xiaocao's voice suddenly rang out. During this time, she had been frantically searching for information, checking Ge Ping'an's identity while also investigating whether anyone in other key units had committed crimes.
“Ge Ping’an, you see, we have the ability to catch anyone and the ability to solve the plague in Yanji City, but you must cooperate with us and take us to your home to find that person immediately!”
Lin Yao sounded anxious. He had just asked Elder Yi Potian via telepathy, but even Yi Potian, who wasn't familiar with the streets of Yanji City, didn't know where Anwen Road was. Asking a member of the Yi family who knew the layout of the house over the phone would take even longer. Having Ge Ping'an take him there was the fastest way, and time was of the essence.
"It's no use. Mr. Liu said that no one can do anything to him, not even a Heavenly-level expert. He also said that there is no cure for this plague."
Under Lin Yao's guidance, Ge Ping'an's humanity was greatly revived, and his remorse made him very cooperative.
Now, the old man behind Lin Yao has demonstrated abilities beyond imagination. Ge Ping'an knows that he and Jin Xiangyu are doomed to die. No matter how much "Mr. Liu" assures him of his power, he can never escape with Jin Xiangyu. The other party already knows his life and will know where his home is. Jin Xiangyu's fate will be the same as his, dying without a burial place.
Having given up on everything, Ge Ping'an suddenly had an unprecedentedly clear mind. He understood these things in just a short moment. Since he was going to die anyway, he only hoped to die first, and he didn't want to see Jin Xiangyu's despairing eyes again.
"I am a doctor from Chengdu Minhong Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. My name is Angel. I don't know if you have heard of me."
Lin Yao suppressed his anger and continued to persuade him in a calm voice, "I know you have AIDS, but I can cure you. Even if you are going to die eventually, at least you can die cleanly. I hope you will cooperate with us. We also know that your home is on Anwen Road. We just want to find that place as soon as possible, so we need your cooperation."
"You're an angel?!"
Although Ge Ping'an was not well-educated, he had long since learned to use the internet due to his frequent solitude. He was very familiar with Min Hong's miracle doctor "Angel" and even considered asking himself and Jin Xiangyu to beg "Angel" to treat AIDS. However, Min Hong's tough conditions and subsequent events dispelled this wish.
Now that Lin Yao has offered to help him treat AIDS, Ge Ping'an immediately has a wish. That is to allow him and Jin Xiangyu to die cleanly, so that they can be a normal couple in death.
At the same time, Ge Ping'an immediately believed the "angel's" claim that he could solve the plague. Coupled with the abilities demonstrated by Elder Yi Potian behind Lin Yao, he was confident that he could defeat "Mr. Liu." If he could kill "Mr. Liu," Ge Ping'an would have avenged himself and Jin Xiangyu, because it was this "Mr. Liu" who had deprived him and Jin Xiangyu of their last happiness. If it weren't for "Mr. Liu's" coercion and Jin Xiangyu's compromise and persuasion, he and his lover could have lived happily for at least eight more years.
“I said, as long as you help me and Jin Xiangyu get rid of AIDS, I am willing to cooperate with you.”
Ge Ping'an's sudden change delighted Lin Yao and Elder Yi Potian. Without saying a word, Xiao Cao immediately picked up Lin Yao and Ge Ping'an, rushed out of the water treatment plant, and flew into the city center.
"direction?"
"there."
Ge Ping'an was given special care by the little grass, whose large net woven from transparent tentacles blocked the high-speed airflow, allowing him to speak normally. Although the feeling of rapid ascent like a roller coaster was making Ge Ping'an's body churn, his willpower was extremely firm at this moment. He not only heard Lin Yao's question clearly, but also tried his best to point out the direction of his home.
"Yaoyao, something's not right!"
Suddenly, the little grass exclaimed in the air, "It's Morning Mist! That guy is Morning Mist!"
"Morning Mist? The 'dance robe' and 'morning mist' you mentioned that you vaguely remembered among the ancient beings?"
Lin Yao was taken aback and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
Lin Yao wasn't entirely sure how powerful the ancient creatures were, but based solely on Xiao Cao's abilities and the "Earth Mother" and "Ming Jin" he had encountered before, he could draw a conclusion: the abilities of these ancient creatures could not be judged by common sense. They not only possessed their own innate abilities, but could also evolve and enhance their strength with the help of external forces. Xiao Cao and "Ming Jin" were the best examples.
