Full-Time Magister: The Strongest Summoned Beast is Actually Myself

Chapter 97, Chain Reaction

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the guardian mage tried to stop them, but was stopped by the military mages who had come to collect the blood serum. Their faces were now as black as the bottom of a pot, because this was blood serum intended for use on the front lines, and it turned out to be diseased blood!

The moment I stepped into the quarantine area, the live stream camera suddenly stopped, as if struck by something invisible.

The next second, a series of chilling coughs and vomiting sounds rang out, chaotic and damp, as if coming from the depths of the morgue.

Under the white tents, rows of hospital beds were neatly arranged like a morgue. Some patients on the beds were curled up and convulsing, while others had festering sores all over their bodies, their faces were sallow, their eyes were empty, and they kept wailing like ghosts, as if they were being devoured alive.

"Come here quickly—take a close-up of this!" a photographer whispered. The lens swept across the hospital beds, where many patients were in the late stages of their illness, with large patches of skin peeling off, leaving them bloody and mangled. The air was filled with an indescribable stench of decay and despair.

Chen Hao suppressed his nausea and strode towards a middle-aged man who was running a high fever and was already delirious. His forehead was burning hot, his lips were black, and his breathing was weak.

"That's him," Chen Hao said in a deep voice. He reached into the medicine basket on his back, took out a stalk of Eagle Red Grass, quickly cut off the leaves, crushed them into a paste with his fingertips, mixed it with warm water, lifted the man's head, and carefully fed it to him.

“This man looks like he’s about to die, let’s try to save him first.” He turned to the camera, his eyes calm and determined. “If the eagle-red grass really works, we’ll see the results on him.”

The live stream was silent for two seconds, then exploded:

This guy really went all out...

[It made my hands shake; it felt like an apocalyptic scene.]

If this could actually save lives, then everyone at Star Crown Pharmaceuticals would be a murderer.

[Chen Hao, I'll remember you... If you get out of here alive, I'll treat you to hot pot for the rest of my life!]

All the cameras were focused on the man, and time seemed to stand still in the waiting.

Three minutes later, the man let out a muffled groan, his fingers trembled slightly, and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Five minutes later, his breathing became even, his body temperature dropped slowly from 41 degrees to 39 degrees, and his face turned from purple to red.

"He's responding! His temperature is dropping!" a reporter exclaimed.

Ten minutes later, the man's eyelids twitched slightly, and the moment he opened his eyes, the entire audience was jolted as if struck by an electric current.

"Is there...is there any water?" he whispered weakly.

Chen Hao personally handed over the water, then looked at the camera again and slowly said, "Eagle Red Grass works. This isn't a miracle, it's common sense. Let's continue."

The first one, the second one... the third one...

Chen Hao led his men to select several patients at different stages of their illnesses, some with high fever and coma, some vomiting pus and blood, and some with limb convulsions and bloodshot eyes.

The same method applies: crush the eagle-red grass and take it with warm water.

Ordinary herbs, under the lens, become the dividing line between life and death.

Fifteen minutes later, the second patient began coughing up black blood, his body temperature dropped sharply, and his complexion improved rapidly; the third was even more astonishing, ten minutes after taking the medicine, he slowly sat up, stared blankly at the sky, and for the first time, his eyes regained focus.

There was dead silence.

The next moment, countless patients' family members rushed towards Chen Hao, crying and kowtowing, and it was almost impossible to stop them.

"Save my child! He's still breathing, he can still hold on!"

"Please, I have money, I'll give you money, I just want one herb!"

"Reporter, please, please film me! Let them see I'm still alive! I don't want to die here!"

The control line collapsed instantly, and the entire isolation zone erupted in chaos. Those patients who had been numb, helpless, and on the verge of death struggled to sit up, roaring and whimpering, desperately reaching out and crawling towards the Eagle Red Grass.

Chen Hao had no choice but to step back and had several volunteers stop the agitated family members. He only had a small amount of eagle-red grass, which could only be used for the critically ill first. After some reassurance and repeated assurances that there would be eagle-red grass within a day, he finally convinced them.

"One person's strength is ultimately limited. I hope everyone who sees this live broadcast can help share the truth!" Before Chen Hao's words had even finished, the online public opinion had already completely boiled over!

The keywords "Xingmian Pharmaceutical", "source of the epidemic blood supply", and "Councilor Luo Mian" quickly rose to the top of the trending search lists on major platforms, and the barrage of comments flooded the screen like a tsunami:

[So the culprit was the blood serum they created?]

[The military supply depot is full of substandard blood serum... Who gave the order?]

[Xingmian Pharmaceuticals...it's inextricably linked to that old geezer Wang Yi!]

Someone's trying to take the blame, but we won't let him succeed!

[No wonder they wanted to kill the totem serpent...this was a diversionary tactic!]

Chen Hao is awesome!!!

Some official channels that had previously suspended live broadcasts were forced to reconnect within minutes by public pressure—because they understood that if they didn't, they would be blacklisted by the general public.

……

The trial headquarters held an emergency meeting.

"Immediately shut down all civilian signal towers and cut off the live broadcast from Baizhen!" a middle-aged man in an expensive executive jacket ordered sternly.

"Let the internet authorities do their part to guide public attention and prevent our image from further deteriorating."

"The investigation department, immediately arrest and investigate Luo Mian and his cronies!"

"What about Zhu Meng?" someone asked.

The conference room fell silent. Although Zhu Meng was a fool, he had a powerful background. The reason he dared to carry out the snake-slaying so recklessly was simply because he had obtained authorization from both the Pearl Mage Tower and the Magic Palace, the two highest authorities in the Dragon Kingdom.

Punishing Zhu Meng would undoubtedly be a slap in their own face.

The person in the head seat turned pale, clearly harboring deep resentment towards these idiots who needed his help to clean up their messes. But there was nothing he could do; he had to fulfill his duties in his position, and once he entered the system, he couldn't avoid these intricate details.

"Provide immediate support to Hangzhou. We'll make a decision after things are settled!"

……

imperial capital.

"This is utterly outrageous! How dare this person..."

"You troublemaker! Contact Mingzhu Academy immediately and demand an explanation!"

"He also confessed, so we immediately made the arrest!"

The parasites collectively breached their defenses.

Chen Hao doesn't need to do anything.

……

Unsurprisingly, before even leaving Bai Town, Chen Hao's phone was bombarded with calls from Lingling, Leng Qing, Old Man Bao, Dean Xiao, Zhao Manyan, and some strangers...

They originally thought Chen Hao was busy trying to resolve the disaster, but no one expected him to choose such a radical approach, directly confronting two powerful councilors.

The live stream video has spread like wildfire online. In this era of widespread internet access, it's no longer possible to suppress it. It's like a fire; if it can't be extinguished immediately, it will spread across the entire internet.

No matter how much you try to suppress the hype, everyone's attention will still be on Hangzhou.
