After exchanging beast mates, those crazy S-rank beasts are all vying to be my pets.

Chapter 195 After a great disaster, there will inevitably be a great plague.
The Beast World continent has recently been experiencing one crisis after another.
On her way there, Sang Tian couldn't help but worry. Surely the problems on the mainland couldn't be so big that even the Stardust couldn't solve them.
The fog outside lingered, so we dared not speed up.
"Has there been any infectious diseases in mainland China before?"
Bao Zemin nodded. "Infectious diseases are very common, similar to colds and fevers, but the severity is unclear."
The scene before her reminded Sang Tian of a saying.
After a great disaster there will be a great epidemic.
Last month was mostly snowy, and with so many orcs concentrated in one place, germs could easily breed if one wasn't careful.
It's not that Sang Tian is biased; fundamentally, the physical structure of orcs is different from that of humans.
Normally it only takes 30 minutes to get to the residence, but today, due to the heavy fog, it took a full hour to get there.
Sang Tian had just gotten out of the car when Qing Zhi called out to her.
"Tian Tian, wait a minute."
Sang Tian stood by the car door, looking at Qing Zhi with a puzzled expression.
Qingzhi took a mask out of her pocket, tore open the packaging, put it on the person, and then tidied up the details.
"This mask might be a bit stuffy, so don't take it off even if it gets hot later. It's very useful." Qingzhi casually tucked her stray hairs behind her ear.
The others turned their heads in tacit agreement, secretly regretting that they hadn't anticipated this step.
Sang Tian smiled, her eyes curving into crescents, and took Qing Zhi's arm as they went inside.
Since the management was clarified last time, the management of the residence center has improved a lot, and most people are willing to cooperate.
Sang Tian opened the door and went in. Many people were coughing, all wearing masks and gloves.
The sick orc lay in bed, while the others who were healthy were assigned tasks: some were disinfecting, and others were brewing medicine.
Even through the thick mask, Sang Tian could smell the medicinal fragrance in the air.
Upon seeing Sang Tian arrive, some people ran forward, but when they were three to five meters away, Qing Zhi reached out to stop them, signaling them to keep their distance.
"Have you found out what caused it?"
The man nodded, his eyes hesitant. "Not quite, but there's a hint of progress."
"Alright, go and report to the person in charge of you." Qingzhi saw the hint in the orc's eyes and guessed that he didn't want to tell Sang Tian the reason.
"He hadn't even explained himself clearly, how could you let him leave? What kind of illness is it that I can't hear about?"
Sang Tian wasn't blind; she could tell the other person was stammering.
“Bao Zemin knows the ins and outs best. Let him handle it. Don’t get involved. You’ve forgotten what Tang Xiaoyan said: you can’t fall ill now. If you fall ill again, even she won’t be able to save you.”
Sang Tian thought about it and agreed.
Leopard Zemin and the others also put on masks, and he strode forward following the orc.
Sang Tian frowned slightly. "How many people died from the most serious infectious disease on the mainland?"
"I don't know about that. Mingchen should be able to answer your question. He's the longest-lived. Let's go outside and talk. It's not convenient here."
Ever since Sang Tian was marked, the six beastly men have been eyeing her more closely than their own eyes.
Seeing Sang Tian and Qing Zhi turn around, the other four also followed them out.
Sang Tian asked Bai Mingchen, and the answer she received was that he had never done so.
"Usually, infectious diseases only kill one or two people, and large-scale deaths have never occurred before, but it's really hard to say this time."
Clearly, Bai Mingchen also knew the cause of this illness.
"I want to know what caused this. This disease isn't contagious just because you know about it, so why can't I know?"
The five exchanged glances and remained silent for a few seconds before Bai Mingchen decided to tell Sang Tian. "It's dermatophyte. This disease is usually caused by poor hygiene and diet. In the early stages, it just smells fishy. In the middle stages, it breeds insects. In the later stages, the insects start to eat away at the skin, and the skin gradually rots until it reaches the bone."
Sang Tian felt nauseous just thinking about that scene, and her brows furrowed.
Bai Mingchen continued, "In the early stages, this disease is transmitted through saliva, and later through the skin. As long as you touch someone, there is a high probability that you will be infected."
No wonder everyone inside was wearing gloves.
After Bai Mingchen finished explaining, Bao Zeming came out. From his furrowed brows, one could tell that the situation inside was not optimistic.
“Some people have already started to be infected, so I had them take the people in the middle and late stages to be cremated in an attempt to reduce the area of infection.”
The onset of corrosion indicates that the process has entered its later stages, which is no different from dropping a bomb into a crowd.
As soon as the words were spoken, people began to carry the person out on a stretcher.
Sang Tian stood to the side, watching people being carried out one after another, and had no doubt in her heart whether her decision to set up this residence was the right one.
"If it weren't for you, they would have died last month, and the number would definitely be far greater than it is now."
The moment Sang Tian's eyebrows drooped, Bai Mingchen used his mind-reading ability to read her mind.
Sang Tian hummed in agreement.
According to statistics, there are currently five people in the later stage, twenty-three people in the middle stage, and seventy people in the initial stage.
This means that one-third of the people in the quarantine facility have been infected.
Is it easy to treat in the early stages?
"It's not difficult, but it requires a lot of medicine, which is a considerable expense. Disinfection is needed every two hours, and people in the early stages need to be isolated from those who are not infected."
Bao Zemin couldn't help but complain, "No businessman is without cunning. At a time like this, you're still thinking about expenses. I've already arranged for the person in charge to change areas and concentrate the infected people in one place for treatment. We'll send people to disinfect every two hours, in shifts."
"Then let the black market send over some supplies."
Looking at the crowd gathered in the distance, Sang Tian thought, "My special ability should be able to save them."
"No, there are so many people. If you save them, what will happen to yourself?"
Sang Tian's decision was immediately opposed by the beastmen.
"Save them, but not completely. Just get them all to the initial stage, so I can save a lot of mental energy."
Knowing his own limitations, Sang Tian came up with a compromise.
"Twenty-three people, do you know how much mental energy you'll expend?" Li Su shook his head at Sang Tian, not wanting her to help.
"It's about reviving five dead people." When Sang Tian made this decision, she had already roughly estimated the mental energy required.
The beastmen's group still refused, but Sang Tian ignored their objections and followed the group that had carried the stretcher earlier.
Her voice was halved because she was wearing a mask, so I had to hurry to catch up.
"Don't stop the later stages, put aside the mid-stages."
Seeing this, the six could only follow and do their best to protect Sang Tian from infection.
The stretchers were all lowered, and the stretcher bearers didn't understand what she wanted to do.
Sang Tian reached out, and green light threads emerged from her fingertips. The light threads quickly wrapped around the orc's body, one every two minutes on average.
Fifty minutes later, Sang Tian was so exhausted that large beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
"Take them all back and put them in the initial area." Sang Tian's voice was weary.
The stretcher bearers stared at Sang Tian in disbelief, astonished by her actions.
"What are you all standing there for? Carry everyone inside."
