Chapter 987: The Investigation
Chapter 987: The Investigation
After hanging up the phone, the doctor who had gone to fetch the medicine returned.
Ling Feng didn’t specify the dosage, so he brought back more than half of the medicinal herbs from the pharmacy, packing a large plastic bag for each type.
Seeing so many herbs, Ling Feng smiled: "That’s good, the excess can be used to treat the remaining people!"
After he finished speaking, he took the herbs and then asked, "I need an empty room, is there one here?"
"Yes, there’s an on-call room next door, I’ll take you there!"
The doctor said and turned to leave.
Ling Feng turned to Du Song and said, "Calm everyone down, tell them not to worry, it will be alright soon!"
"Okay!" Du Song nodded.
After arriving at the on-call room, Ling Feng spread the various herbs on the bed and turned to find the doctor still there, seemingly reluctant to leave.
So, he had to say: "Could you please close the door from outside for me?"
"This...."
The doctor hesitated for a moment but turned and left.
Ling Feng shook his head, took an appropriate amount of each medicinal herb, and then took out the Pill Furnace.
Ten minutes later, the doctor guarding the door smelled a fragrance of herbs.
It felt as if a little cat was scratching at his heart, he was itching with curiosity!
But since Ling Feng had already requested not to be disturbed, he dared not to open the door to sneak a peek at the medicine preparation.
The scent of the herbs quickly spread, and soon everyone in the emergency room smelled it.
Unexpectedly, some of the patients with minor symptoms felt their agitation eased considerably after smelling it.
Consequently, the emergency room quickly became quiet.
Another ten minutes passed, and the door clicked; Ling Feng came out.
"The medicine is ready, one pill per person, do not take more, the corpse poison will be neutralized after you take it!"
"Really? Is it that miraculous?"
The doctor was a bit incredulous but still took the plastic bag that Ling Feng handed over.
"Due to the urgency, make an exception, saving people is paramount!" Ling Feng said.
"Alright then."
Acknowledging his capabilities, the doctor nodded and quickly went to deliver the medicine to the patients who were scratched or bitten.
With the patients’ conditions under control, Ling Feng left the emergency room swiftly. He stepped outside and called Chen Ping: "Boss, I’ve prepared the medicine, any injured coming here can be treated, what’s next?"
"Return to Longyuan, meeting!"
Chen Ping was concise, speaking only five words.
Ling Feng put away his phone and drove away from the hospital.
Upon arriving at Longyuan, he found almost all the staff were not there, even the Dragon Tooth Squad in charge of security was gone.
Entering the meeting room and seeing Chen Ping and Lin Xue, Ling Feng immediately asked, "What’s the situation now?"
"The outbreak happened almost simultaneously, and there has not been a second wave since."
Lin Xue opened up the map on the screen, which was already marked with the incident locations.
Ling Feng glanced over it, each red dot representing an incident location, and there were more than a dozen of them!
Moreover, the distribution wasn’t clustered; it indeed covered every corner of the county from east to south to west to north!
Seeing this, Ling Feng clicked his tongue and looked up at the grave-looking Chen Ping: "Boss, what’s the situation now?"
"I was about to ask you the same, what do you think is going on?" Chen Ping inquired.
Ling Feng looked at Lin Xue: "There are no similar cases in other places?"
"No, just in our county!" Lin Xue confirmed.
"That’s interesting!"
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and then said to Chen Ping: "Boss, I suspect someone is causing trouble!"
"Hmm, nowhere else, just our place suddenly has such incidents; it indeed is a bit incomprehensible!"
Chen Ping nodded and said to Ling Feng: "You’ll take on this case. I’m afraid others might not be able to handle it!"
"Sure thing, leave it to me!"
Ling Feng didn’t hesitate and immediately agreed to the task.
The reason was simple; with such an appalling incident, he had reason to believe someone was targeting him!
And at that moment, Ye Qian called Ling Feng to say that she had been given permission to come over to help and was currently on her way!
Ling Feng, pleased, immediately nodded and said, "Great, I’ll be waiting for you!"
After hanging up, he continued to Chen Ping: "I found a helper, someone who has some research on Feng Shui and zombies!"
"Oh? There’s something you don’t know?" Chen Ping asked.
"...."
Ling Feng rolled his eyes in exasperation and then said, "I’m not a genius, how could I know everything?"
After that, he stood up: "I’m going to check out the incident sites and see where these zombies are coming from!"
"Good, have Lin Xue accompany you."
Chen Ping got serious as well, stood up, and said solemnly: "Today’s incident is no trivial matter; the higher-ups are already aware. Though no lives were lost, the public is in panic, with many afraid to stay in their homes for fear that zombies might come out again. So, you must find out the truth and give people an explanation!"
"Rest assured, leader, if someone is causing trouble, I won’t rest until I’ve dealt with them!"
Ling Feng nodded in agreement and then left Longyuan with Lin Xue.
After getting into the car, Lin Xue opened the map on the tablet: "Where to first?"
"Let’s go to Yuhe’s hot spring villa first, that’s where I was at the time!" Ling Feng said while starting the car, leaving Longyuan.
The two of them were silent on the way; they were well aware of the seriousness of the task, just as Chen Ping had said, without finding the cause, there’s no way to explain to the public!
So, both Ling Feng and Lin Xue were feeling rather somber, arriving silently at the foot of the mountain where the hot spring villa was located.
People here were already working normally. Chen Yuhe and Chen Mo were wearing safety helmets, checking on the progress of the construction.
Seeing Ling Feng and Lin Xue arrive, Chen Yuhe turned to delegate some tasks to Chen Mo, then quickly walked over: "You’re here. Has everything been resolved?"
"The zombies have all been dealt with, but we haven’t figured out the cause yet, so I came to take a look!" Ling Feng explained.
"Alright, follow me, the workers have already found where the zombies crawled out from!"
Chen Yuhe said and led the two forward.
They passed through the villa area to a clearing at the back, several dozen meters wide, recently excavated and leveled from the mountainside using machinery.
The three crossed the clearing, with Chen Yuhe pointing to the hillside: "Over there is an unclaimed ancient grave; the zombies crawled out from it."
"Okay, I’ll go take a look; you guys just wait here for me!"
Knowing that girls like to stay clean, and that there might be disgusting or foul-smelling stuff there, Ling Feng decided to go by himself.
