Chapter 2357
"The researchers here are quite professional." Zhu Yanyi did not agree with their methods, but their dedication was worthy of praise.
"What do you plan to do?" Yan Aohan asked Zhu Yanyi.
"Break in," Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "Since this is within their own country, their defenses are likely lower. I think we can get in."
"Aren't you afraid of the mercenaries inside?" Yan Aohan asked.
"Don't I have you?" Because of you, I dare to cause such trouble.
Yan Aohan laughed heartily and said, "You are right. With me here, let's go. Since we are already here, we must enter. The sooner we go in, the sooner we leave."
"Right. I have no interest in this country's food either," Zhu Yanyi nodded seriously.
The couple smiled and entered. Against such opponents, they faced no real difficulty. The entry was smooth. Inside, the test subjects included both Easterners and Westerners. Of course, Easterners were not necessarily Chinese; people from other nations were also present.
After Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan detoxified them, they brought them out and sent them to their respective embassies. As for the laboratory, Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan destroyed it completely.
From that day on, the world learned that someone was conducting such live experiments, specifically targeting Easterners. Consequently, Easterners began to protest continuously. Eastern immigrants in the West also demanded to return home.
Simultaneously, not just in this country, but over the next month, many Western countries revealed similar laboratories, all destroyed by mysterious figures.
As for who these two mysterious people were, few knew except for the upper echelons of China.
Zhu Yanyi returned half a year later.
"Junior Sister, you must rest for a while after this trip," Gu Jingtian said, visiting her upon her return. Zhu Yanyi’s spirit seemed better, and her demeanor more steady.
Zhu Yanyi nodded with a smile. "I plan to rest for a few months, then continue my work as a traveling doctor. Our country is so large; I haven't traveled everywhere yet."
"Regardless of how long you rest, you must come to the clinic for these days," Gu Jingtian said, dissatisfied with her irregular schedule.
"Fine. I will go to work in ten days. For these ten days, I am on vacation to rest," Zhu Yanyi said cheerfully.
"Alright." Gu Jingtian had come mainly to confirm her work schedule. Now that it was set, she did not interfere further.
Both Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were people who could not stay idle.
While Zhu Yanyi rested, Yan Aohan returned to the Underworld to handle its affairs. Because the discovery of the laboratory meant they had saved many living souls, when Zhu Yanyi visited Yan Aohan, she noticed the soul energy in the Underworld seemed much fresher.
Seeing her confused expression, Yan Aohan knew she did not understand. "You saved living souls, so you gained karmic merit. This merit fell upon us, naturally changing our Underworld."
Zhu Yanyi nodded in realization. Then, looking at the piles of items on Yan Aohan’s desk, she raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say the Ten Kings of Hell help you? Why is there still so much work?"
"Wife, I am so aggrieved," Yan Aohan complained instantly, touched by his wife’s concern.
Zhu Yanyi’s mouth twitched. "Stop pretending. Tell me, what is going on."
"What else? These were all dumped on me by the Black Emperor. Although I have not yet gone to the Chaos Abyss for my Emperor trial, he has handed over all matters of the Seven Realms of the Underworld to me," Yan Aohan sighed helplessly.
"The Seven Realms of the Underworld?" Zhu Yanyi raised an eyebrow. "You mean the Black Emperor gave you the Underworlds for Gods, Immortals, Demons, Buddhas, Devils, Asuras, and Spirits—all non-human realms?"
"Yes," Yan Aohan said, looking speechless. "Wife, tell me, is the Black Emperor not excessive? I am not even an Emperor yet, and he directly hands me the affairs of the non-human Underworlds. He is enslaving me."
"Did you not object?" Zhu Yanyi did not believe Yan Aohan would agree so obediently.
Yan Aohan smiled. "I did object. But later, he said that after you ascend to the Immortal Realm, he would allow me to travel the Immortal Realm with you. So I agreed."
Although Yan Aohan was not yet an Emperor, he was a True God. True Gods could not casually travel to lower realms without important matters. If Zhu Yanyi ascended to the Immortal Realm, Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi would likely be separated. Now, with the Black Emperor’s permission, they would not be separated.
Zhu Yanyi added, "Besides that, you accepted it because there are matters we need to handle together."
Yan Aohan returned to a normal tone and nodded. "Whether it is the Evil Buddha or the Priest, they exist in various realms. If I want to go there, I need the authority of that realm. By taking over the affairs of the Seven Realms of the Underworld, I can also inquire into their matters."
Zhu Yanyi understood. Immortals had Immortal rules. Without specific authority, no one could handle a non-human.
By taking over the Underworlds of the five non-human realms, Yan Aohan was effectively executing Emperor duties in advance. Even if he was not yet an Emperor, his status would not change. Instead, everyone would expect him to become an Emperor soon, as managing the non-human Underworlds was not easy. Every time there was an Immortal-Demon war, large batches of Immortal and Demon souls appeared. Without unified arrangement, the results would not be good.
If there was an Underworld Master, these Demon and Immortal souls would not need to worry in the future.
"Actually, why do Immortals and Demons fight? Nowadays, Immortal cultivators and Demon cultivators are just different; there is not much grudge," Zhu Yanyi said, slightly surprised. After all, the Black Emperor was of Demon cultivation origin.
"The so-called Immortal-Demon wars are mostly wars over boundary rights, similar to wars between countries in the mortal world," Yan Aohan thought for a moment, organized his words, and explained to Zhu Yanyi.
Zhu Yanyi nodded in realization. She did not really understand these matters, but she would not contact them much now, as it was not yet her time.
Seeing Yan Aohan busy, Zhu Yanyi did not disturb him. She went to her Underworld medicine garden for a stroll, then visited Meng Po, and after saying goodbye to Yan Aohan, she returned to reality. Thinking for a moment, she entered the Ruyi Space to research and make sea mud masks.
These were gifts for Zhu Yanli, Old Madam Alu Gesang, and several sisters-in-law. Besides these, she also wanted to send some to Xie Xinlian, Huang Meiying, and other ladies in her hometown.
So, while simple to make, the quantity was quite large.
Zhu Yanyi stayed in the space for a month, which was only one day outside. She made over a thousand masks before truly returning to reality to make dinner.
When dinner was ready, Zhu Yanyi notified Yan Aohan. Yan Aohan came out, and they ate dinner together.
"Are the matters handled?" Zhu Yanyi asked.
"Mostly handled. But wife, I need to leave for a few days to go to the Demon Realm. A Demon Saint cultivator, due to improper cultivation, cannot break through her state of mind. Her age is about right, so she needs guidance to enter reincarnation. The round trip will take about three to five days," Yan Aohan told Zhu Yanyi. "If it takes longer, I will leave a message in the space."
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Then go. I promised Senior Brother to go to the Beijing Hospital for duty after resting for a few days. At least we need to rest here for a few months."
"Alright. Rest for a few months and recuperate well," Yan Aohan nodded.
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. She could not help with her husband’s busy work; the only thing she could do was send her off happily.
After Yan Aohan left, Zhu Yanyi stayed in the space for eight more months. During this time, Yan Aohan sent messages, saying he had discovered some situations in the Demon Realm and needed to stay to handle them. Zhu Yanyi did not interfere. She used this time to consolidate her state of mind after her traveling doctor period, refined some medicines, and then went out.
As soon as her vacation ended, Zhu Yanyi went to work at the Beijing Hospital.
Of course, Gu Jingtian knew that Zhu Yanyi treated patients based on fate, so she did not specifically promote her. If patients came, she treated them; if not, she studied by herself. Occasionally, she also went to the Aoyan Traditional Chinese Medicine School to check on the teaching progress.
It had to be said that both the herbal diet shop and the traditional Chinese medicine school under Zhu Yanyi’s name were going smoothly.
Zhu Yanyi’s days were quite rich until a peacekeeping medical team sent a distress signal. Coincidentally, Luo Gang received this signal.
Medical signals are usually sent under specific circumstances. Luo Gang received it because his phone was specially made. Upon receiving this situation, Luo Gang directly reported to the relevant department, Fang Ying.
For confidentiality reasons, the Big Boss sought out Zhu Yanyi.
Hearing the Big Boss’s request, Zhu Yanyi was slightly surprised. "You want me to help save the peacekeeping medical team?"
"That peacekeeping medical squad has seven people, all quite good young people. They went this time to treat the situation in Country N, mainly to treat patients in Country N. It is said that an infectious disease is occurring on a large scale in Country N. Now, this peacekeeping medical team seems to have problems. The latest news is that someone in the medical team has also been infected with this infectious disease. So, I can only come to you," the Big Boss said.
The Big Boss greatly admired Zhu Yanyi’s medical skills. However, asking Zhu Yanyi to go was also a psychological battle for her. After all, Zhu Yanyi was a world-class medical expert. If she went to the peacekeeping mission and something happened, no one could bear the responsibility. But the Big Boss knew that in this situation, only Zhu Yanyi could go, because only she had this ability.
"I will send two Armor Warriors disguised as your private bodyguards to protect you. I guarantee you will be safe and sound," the Big Boss said directly.
Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "That is no problem. I just want to know, what infectious disease is it there?"
"Currently, we have named this infectious disease 'Black,' representing its terror. But so far, no one knows where it came from," the Big Boss said.
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Have people prepare. I will depart tonight."
"Good. Thank you for your trouble." The Big Boss actually knew that asking Zhu Yanyi was somewhat unethical, but except for Zhu Yanyi, she could not trust anyone else to complete this medical mission.
After the Big Boss left, Zhu Yanyi made preparations, left a message for Yan Aohan in the space, and then prepared to leave.
This time, the people she brought were Li Yang and Wang Ye. The Big Boss really sent two Armor Warriors, one named Wang En and the other Hu Chen.
Zhu Yanyi and the others took a plane directly to the peacekeeping destination.
On the plane, Zhu Yanyi sat cross-legged. No one knew what the situation would be like upon arrival, so the most important thing now was to rest.
Zhu Yanyi ignored everyone, just sitting cross-legged to rest, and did not open her eyes until they reached the destination.
After getting off the plane, they rushed to the actual incident location. In the car, someone naturally handed over relevant materials.
"Vomiting, dizziness, whole-body convulsions." Zhu Yanyi looked at the three points and frowned slightly. Many symptoms were like this, especially fever caused by any symptom, which would cause vomiting, dizziness, and whole-body convulsions.
Then she looked at the materials below: "Heart rate accelerates, peak of illness onset, the whole body turns red, as if burned by fire. The surface temperature is very high, while the internal body temperature drops. However, because of the increase in skin temperature, the danger to the human body still exists, so many people begin to experience dizziness again."
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi pondered slightly. If it was really as written in the materials, then these symptoms were likely not a simple infectious disease, but a virus. Because infectious diseases do not start from the skin, but from abnormalities inside the person. However, after looking at the materials, she found that these symptoms all started from the surface.
Zhu Yanyi flipped through the materials twice more, memorized all the sentences on the materials, closed her eyes, and began to think about the situation here.
This place was obviously not an ordinary country. This country was a desert country. Because of the lack of water, even crops needed to be imported. Plants were very scarce for them. Zhu Yanyi knew that if her speculation was correct, she would need a large amount of medicinal materials.
"Wang En, when will the medicinal materials arrive?" Zhu Yanyi had already written a list of daily medicinal materials before departure.
"If there are no accidents, they will arrive this afternoon," Wang En answered.
Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly. "After we arrive at the destination, the first thing you must do is find a clean water source."
"There should be water resources in that place, right?" Hu Chen said.
Zhu Yanyi shook her head slightly. "If I guess correctly, the transmission of this disease is likely through ingestion. The only thing everyone shares is water resources. So I guess the current water resources are no longer usable. Therefore, Wang En and Hu Chen, as soon as you arrive, you must look for new water resources nearby."
Armor Warriors were not just for show; they still had things to do.
Wang En and Hu Chen naturally had no objections. Wang En said, "We are leaving. What about your safety, Divine Doctor?"
"Do not worry," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "I will not be in danger. Besides, although Wang Ye and Li Yang are not as good as you, their skills are also very good. My goal is to research the antidote or vaccine, so I do not need to worry about going far away."
"Then alright. After we drop you off at the destination, we will set out to find water resources." Wang En and Hu Chen naturally had no objections. When they came out, the Big Boss told them that their task was to follow Zhu Yanyi’s dispatch. Of course, another included task was to protect Zhu Yanyi.
Now that Zhu Yanyi was not going out and was at the destination, the danger would be minimized. Under the condition of ensuring Zhu Yanyi was temporarily fine, they were naturally willing to look for new water resources.
From getting off the plane to the real destination, the car traveled for about half an hour before arriving.
After getting off the car, Zhu Yanyi saw a barren landscape. There were many tents supported around here, and many people were coming and going, but no one had blocked the exit. Zhu Yanyi had her own credentials, so entering was no problem.
Seeing Zhu Yanyi arrive, the original leader of the peacekeeping group came out. It was Yu Qingyun.
"Senior Brother Qingyun." Zhu Yanyi nodded slightly, as a greeting.
Yu Qingyun looked ashamed. "Junior Sister, I did not expect my medical skills to still be insufficient."
She had followed Zhu Yanyi to study at the Saint Academy for several months, but in the end, Yu Qingyun found that her medical skills were still not enough for the current situation, so she could not help but feel ashamed.
Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. "It does not matter. There will always be some difficulties. Take me to see the patients first."
Yu Qingyun naturally had no objections. She knew that Zhu Yanyi was very serious about patients, so she simply led her to the key area. "This is the severe case area. I have been studying since the onset of this disease, but I found that I cannot figure it out. I suspect this is a poison."
Zhu Yanyi hummed. "Let’s not worry about that for now. Whether it is poison or other germs, our most important task is to save the patients first. So, we do not need to worry about other things for now."
Zhu Yanyi said very gently.
Yu Qingyun naturally knew this principle. She told Zhu Yanyi these things mainly to tell her her suspicions first.
Zhu Yanyi was about to take the pulse of a patient. Yu Qingyun hurriedly said, "Junior Sister, use thread pulse diagnosis. These patients’ bodies cannot be touched directly. Direct contact can easily lead to infection."
Zhu Yanyi looked at Yu Qingyun, shook her hand casually, and a green thread directly connected to the patient on the hospital bed. They did not even see where Zhu Yanyi got this thread from.
