The three concealed their presence and stealthily made their way to a temporary camp.

A dozen or so people huddled together, looking tense, holding various weapons such as rifles, wooden sticks, and broadswords. They were clearly not an army, but more like a group of refugees.

What's even more interesting is that this group of people were wary of each other, seemingly afraid of being attacked by the other, yet they stayed together.

On the ground lay five corpses, three of which had wounds on their necks, as if they had been bitten to death by something.

The other two were entirely red, with fangs in their mouths, and various wounds such as gunshot wounds and knife wounds on their bodies.

Zombies!

No, it doesn't look like a normal zombie; it looks more like a mutated zombie!

Not only that, but these living people also had very heavy corpses on their bodies!

Huang Yu and the other two exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with seriousness.

A dozen or so people argued amongst themselves, and finally two young men reluctantly stepped forward, dragging a corpse toward the fire.

"Wait! Fellow villagers, please wait a moment!"

Huang Yu and the other two came out.

The dozen or so people nervously turned around to look, and only relaxed slightly when they saw that it was three Taoist priests with extraordinary bearing.

Zuo Ruotong cupped his hands and said, "I am Zuo Ruotong of the Sanyi Sect. May I ask what happened to the corpse on the ground?"

Upon hearing the name of the Trinity Sect, everyone became excited.

"It's a Taoist priest from the Sanyi Sect!"

"Zuo Ruotong? Isn't that the immortal from the Sanyi Sect?"

"Great! We're saved!"

One of the old men recognized Zuo Ruotong and knelt down before him, pleading, "Please, Master Zuo, save us."

Seeing this, the others also knelt down.

"Get up first and tell me what happened."

The old man leading the group sighed and said, "We are villagers from Yunze Village. Five days ago, a black wind suddenly swept through the village."

“We didn’t take it seriously at first, but that night, more than half of the villagers fell ill with a strange disease. They became delirious, their bodies turned red, and their limbs became stiff.”

"The next day, those who were sick went mad, biting and killing people everywhere, just like they had turned into the legendary zombies!"

"We had no choice but to let some healthy people escape."

“But gradually, some of us who were healthy started to get sick… Look, those two children on the ground are the ones who have gotten sick.”

At this point, the old man burst into tears: "Master Zuo, are we cursed by heaven? Why did they turn us into monsters..."

Zuo Ruotong said in a deep voice, "It's not that Heaven is cursing you, but that someone is trying to harm you!"

"Don't worry, I will do my best to heal you, and I will also do everything in my power to eliminate the person who harmed you!"

A murderous intent rose from Zuo Ruotong's body; it wasn't particularly strong, but it was incredibly pure.

Huang Yu narrowed his eyes, recalling something Liu had reported to him more than two years ago.

The strange plague that once broke out in various parts of Fujian Province caused infected people to gradually lose their minds, become stiff all over a long period of time, and eventually turn into monsters similar to zombies.

These symptoms are somewhat similar to those of the villagers in Yunze, except that the onset of the disease is not as rapid.

Moreover, weren't the plagues in various parts of Fujian cured by the people of Tengshan at that time?

Zheng Zibu reminded him, "Black Wind? Could this be related to the thousand-year-old zombie in Liu Chenghua's possession?"

Huang Yu nodded: "That should be it, otherwise my divination skills wouldn't have guided us here."

"Moreover, there's a lot to it about turning so many villagers into zombies in such a short time."

"But if we have the corpse of a thousand-year-old zombie as an aid, then it's possible."

"Heh, a combination of corpses and plague? The person behind this has quite the ambition."

Chapter 82 Divination and Prediction

Controlling plagues? Alchemists, those madmen, are far more adept at that.

Even in Europe, there was a supernatural system called the Death Doctor that specialized in the study of plagues and germs.

Chinese alchemists, on the other hand, are more skilled in various toxins and venomous insects, and they focus more on researching how to cure plagues, rarely thinking about controlling such highly contagious power.

After all, if things go wrong, a man-made disaster could turn into a natural one.

"It seems that these things are very likely related to the group of people from the Jade Society two years ago."

A cold glint flashed in Huang Yu's eyes. For more than two years, those people from the Jade Society had been hiding and could not be found no matter what.

Now, they've finally given themselves away.

Let's kill them all at once.

At this moment, Zheng Zibu asked in a low voice, "What should we do with these villagers? I have three healing talismans on me, which can only save three people."

Zuo Ruotong looked at Huang Yu: "Chixia, do you have a solution?"

Huang Yu nodded and said, "Yes, I will make a pot of medicine later to remove the plague and corpses from their bodies, and that should be enough."

Zuo Ruotong nodded slightly. Huang Yu's improvements to the Reverse Life Triple Technique included not only improvements to the mental cultivation method but also improvements to the introductory secret medicine, which greatly reduced the cost of the Triple Secret Medicine.

From that time on, he knew that Huang Yu had also achieved something in alchemy.

Huang Yu walked up to the two zombie-like corpses, took a deep breath, and countless gas molecules rushed into his nasal cavity.

Exceptional sense of smell!

[Tianyan]!

His brain began to race, analyzing the nature of this zombie plague and preparing for the alchemy process.

"Oh, this world, give me more information..."

The Qimen formation spun before his eyes, and Huang Yu's internal energy was severely depleted, but in return, he gained more information.

"A plague created through alchemy, and obtained through research on zombies?"

"The zombie virus has combined with corpses to create an even more virulent plague that can turn an entire village into zombies in just one day."

After expending a great deal of effort, a crucial piece of information popped into my mind.

If alchemy is involved, then it must be the work of Westerners.

Huang Yu cursed under his breath: "Damn it, it really is these trash. What are they doing coming to China to research zombies?"

"Don't they have all sorts of undead creatures in Europe too?"

"They're just bored and have nothing better to do!"

He stopped the simulation; he had obtained enough information.

The basic situation is clear: the Jade Society has developed a zombie virus that can create a plague and turn people into zombies, but it takes a long time and is easily cured.

Later, for some reason, this group of people got involved with the evil forces in China, and the two sides actually started to cooperate, creating an even more powerful plague.

Seeing that Huang Yu's aura had weakened, Zuo Ruotong came over and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Yes, I just obtained some information through divination. It's nothing serious, just a loss of some true essence."

Afterwards, Huang Yu shared the information he had deduced with Zuo Ruotong and Zheng Zibu, and offered some of his own speculations.

Zuo Ruotong and Zheng Zibu's expressions instantly turned serious.

The fact that it even involves outsiders with supernatural abilities makes things much more complicated.

There's nothing to fear about the unorthodox practice of transporting corpses alone, but they don't understand Western alchemy, and they might end up getting caught off guard.

Moreover, the most noteworthy question is whether the combination of Eastern and Western capability systems will produce any unique outcomes.

"Sect Leader Zuo, should we contact other sects to join forces?"

Zuo Ruotong nodded and said, "Okay, we'll pass through the towns ahead and spread the message."

"But we probably can't wait that long. Let's set off first and see if we can nip the disaster in the bud!"

"Don't be afraid. I have dealt with Western alchemists and magicians before, and I do have my own unique methods."

"But they don't cultivate their own lives and rely mostly on external things. As long as we find their weaknesses and deal with them carefully, they are not difficult to deal with."

Huang Yu suggested, "Time is of the essence. Why don't you go ahead first? I'll catch up with you once I've finished refining the medicine."

Zheng Zibu asked in confusion, "But how did you find us?"

"With this." Huang Yu took out two mechanical rats from his storage bag and handed them to Zuo Ruotong and Zheng Zibu respectively.

"This is a divine machine I created. It contains my spiritual consciousness, and I can sense their location remotely."

"As long as you carry these two mechanical rats with you, I can find you."

Zuo Ruotong and Zheng Zibu were astonished. Another amazing skill had appeared. What else couldn't this guy do?

The two men took the mechanical mouse, which automatically slipped into their pockets, demonstrating a certain level of intelligence.

Zuo Ruotong glanced at the villagers and said, "Then I'll leave these villagers to you. Zibu and I will go ahead first."

"No problem, go ahead."

Zuo Ruotong and Zheng Zibu left first, while Huang Yu took out various items for alchemy from his pouch, including tools, medicinal herbs, and so on.

An old man stepped forward and asked cautiously, "Why did Master Zuo and the other Taoist priests leave first?"

Huang Yu reassured him, "Don't worry, old man. Master Zuo and the others have gone to find the evil sect that is harming you. I will stay here and treat your illness."

With all the tools ready, Huang Yu began the work of refining the medicine.

His storage bag was extremely spacious, containing all sorts of items, including tools used for training professional skills.

So, you'll basically not lack anything.

Each medicinal herb is specially processed and then specially combined.

Through the analysis of [Extraordinary Sense of Smell] and [Heavenly Evolution], Huang Yu has analyzed the toxicity of the plague corpse poison and roughly understands how to detoxify it.

The yellow medicinal soup is boiling, and next there is a very important medicinal guide.
