Chapter 141 Arrival in the North City
Xia Yanqing's tone was very sincere and earnest, as if he would truly trust Shen Baisu completely in the future.

But Shen Baisu knew that he still wouldn't completely believe her.

However, Shen Baisu didn't care. After all, if she were Xia Yanqing, she wouldn't trust her either.

Specifically, she wouldn't trust anyone, knowing that no one in this world is entirely trustworthy, including herself.

Therefore, Shen Baisu did not believe that Xia Yanqing would trust her from today's conversation.

However, although Xia Yanqing may still not believe her, he will probably choose to speak directly if anything happens in the future.

On the way to Beicheng, Xia Yanqing began to tell Shen Baisu about the specific situation in Beicheng.

"You've probably heard about the situation in Beicheng. In just a few days, countless people have fallen ill with strange symptoms. It's very likely an epidemic, and we haven't yet figured out what kind of virus is causing it."

"According to investigations, the virus may have originated from a neighboring country."

"Once it is determined that the virus originated in a neighboring country, some friction between the two countries is inevitable."

"Of course, even though the source of the epidemic has not yet been determined, neighboring countries have already begun to stir when they see the northern city in crisis."

"I brought you two here so that you could see if you could cure that disease. At the same time, I also hope that you two can help us find out the source of the epidemic."

"However, since it's uncertain whether the two of you will make a move, this is still just an idea."

"Now, you two can still choose to refuse, and Miss Shen can even choose not to go to Beicheng."

Feng Yin rolled her eyes silently after hearing Xia Yanqing's words. "That's easy for you to say. Didn't you already send us to the North City?"

Xia Yanqing said without changing his expression, "I can turn the car around right now."

Shen Baisu looked at Xia Yanqing and said, "Go ahead, I'm also very curious whether they really have contracted the plague."

Whether in the cultivation continent or here, whenever the common people are in great distress, as a disciple of the Wuji Sect, one cannot stand idly by and watch them die.

She should go for the sake of her own principles, and she should also go to follow the teachings of the Wuji Sect.

Xia Yanqing's eyes lit up with joy. "Thank you."

"Don't worry, I will do my best to ensure your and your senior sister's safety."

Shen Baisu nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Just as Xia Yanqing didn't trust her, she wouldn't completely believe Xia Yanqing's promises either. When it comes to ensuring her own safety, it's most reassuring to have it in her own hands.

**
It took four hours to fly from the capital to the northern part of the city.

Shen Baisu and the other two arrived in Beicheng at 2 p.m.

A quarantine zone has been established in Beicheng, but Xia Yanqing did not take Shen Baisu directly to the quarantine zone. Instead, she took people to the research base first.

At the research base, the three met with the person in charge of the epidemic prevention and control efforts.

The other person was wearing a mask and a white coat, so Shen Baisu and Feng Yin couldn't see his face clearly. Xia Yanqing addressed him as Old Xia.

"Mr. Xia, this is Miss Shen and Miss Feng, whom I mentioned to you before."

After Xia Yanqing's introduction, Old Xia nodded to Xia Yanqing, then walked past him and toward Shen Baisu and Feng Yin.

He first shook hands with Shen Baisu, saying, "Hello, young friend Shen."

After saying that, he extended his hand and shook hands with Feng Yin, saying, "Hello, young friend Feng."

"Hello, my name is Xia Shengshi, Xia as in Xia Kingdom, and Shengshi as in prosperous and peaceful times."

Shen Baisu and Feng Yin nodded to Elder Xia as a greeting. After the greeting, Elder Xia continued to Shen Baisu, saying, "Yan Qing has already told me about your abilities, young friend Shen. Although I know you are very capable, I need to explain the situation to you before you save people."

"This disease is different from the types of diseases you've encountered before, such as heart attacks or cancer. It is very likely a highly contagious epidemic."

"However, since we haven't figured out what virus caused it, we can't yet determine whether it's truly infectious."

"However, judging from the growth pattern of the number of sick people, it is very likely that it is contagious."

"However, after repeated research, we found that the infected populations of this disease have no commonalities. We haven't even figured out what kind of virus causes them to get sick, so we can't determine its transmission patterns..."

Mr. Xia pulled Shen Baisu aside and talked for a long time.

After explaining the situation regarding the "epidemic," he asked Shen Baisu seriously, "Now that you know everything, are you still willing to risk your life to save people?"

After asking the question, Mr. Xia added, "Don't worry, if you don't wish to, we can send you back at any time."

Shen Baisu: "I'd like to check on the patient's condition."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Xia's expectant gaze turned to emotion. He asked Shen Baisu about her willingness to save people because he felt that Shen Baisu had the right to know and the right to choose, but deep down he still hoped that Shen Baisu could persevere.

After all, someone who can cure cancer is very likely to cure this disease.

"Please come with me." Mr. Xia led Shen Baisu to the research room.

The research lab has isolation rooms where many volunteers live. They come here voluntarily so that the medical team can study the virus in their bodies.

However, so far, the same virus that could cause the epidemic has not been found in their bodies.

In some cases, even though the volunteers' physical functions were rapidly declining, there was no virus in their bodies that could threaten their health.

At Mr. Xia's request, Shen Baisu took necessary protective measures and went into the isolation room to check on the sick person's condition.

The moment Shen Baisu approached the patient, she released her divine sense, scanning the patient from head to toe.

They then discovered that the patient's bodily functions were not damaged, but his vitality was gradually disappearing.

A sense of confusion arose in Shen Baisu's heart.

She used her divine sense to scan the patient carefully again, and then, on the back of his hand, Shen Baisu discovered the problem.

"what?"

Shen Baisu let out a soft "hmm" and then walked straight toward the patient.

On the hospital bed, the patient lay on the verge of death. At this moment, he was still conscious and could barely move. When he saw Shen Baisu approaching, his eyelashes trembled slightly. He looked at Shen Baisu with his cloudy eyes, his eyes full of expectation.

He said in a weak voice, "Doctor, I...cough cough, am I going to die?"

The patient, unaware of Shen Baisu's identity, assumed she was a doctor simply because she was wearing protective gear and could enter the isolation room.

Upon hearing his words, Shen Baisu replied directly, "No."

The patient's eyelashes trembled rapidly, and his eyes filled with intense anticipation. "Really...cough cough, really? I really can't...cough cough cough..."

The patient coughed violently due to excessive excitement.

Shen Baisu reached out and grabbed his arm, pulling his sleeve up a bit, then stared at his arm and asked, "Where did this come from?"

The patient was momentarily stunned upon hearing this.

The unified spiritual power was changed to divine consciousness.
I felt something was off when I wrote it before, but I couldn't remember how to describe it. Today, after seeing someone's comment, I finally remembered, so I changed "spiritual power" to "divine consciousness."
