Chapter 1032: Chapter 914: Take a Walk After Meals, Live to 99.3

"I’m sorry, Director Lu, for dragging you into this,"

finally, the older medical team leader broke the silence and spoke to Lu Xiang. "...This is an order from above."

He was very much aware that a simple apology was nowhere near enough to compensate for their debt to Lu Xiang.

An epidemic that had broken out in the Covenant Nation was by all accounts unrelated to the director of the Law Enforcers in District Seventeen, yet they had forcibly dragged Lu Xiang along with them on this deadly journey.

This was decidedly unusual, even he couldn’t understand why the higher-ups specifically requested Lu Xiang to escort them, all he could comprehend was that someone hoped to take advantage of the chaos brought about by the epidemic to get rid of Lu Xiang.

He had heard that some of the policies that Lu Xiang and the newly appointed mayor, Aureliano, were implementing had touched upon the interests of some corporations; perhaps the corporations had long since taken a disliking to her.

"You can leave first after meeting with the person in charge of Oasis. The situation there is extremely chaotic; nobody should notice your departure."

He lowered his voice and whispered to Lu Xiang.

"This isn’t your responsibility, don’t take it to heart."

Unexpectedly, Lu Xiang had remained calm and composed all along. Since receiving the escort order, she had never once complained. "I’m actually quite curious why you volunteered for this mission?"

Unlike other medical staff who had been forced into action, this older medical team leader had volunteered to embark on this deadly journey.

"Ah, that matter?"

The medical team leader chuckled, "You might not believe me, but I’ve encountered a similar infectious disease before. Its transmission speed was alarming, with a mortality rate nearing 100%. It caused the deaths of eighty percent of the residents in less than a day..."

"Within the United Government’s territory?"

"Yes."

Lu Xiang concealed her astonishment.

It seemed that the Review Meeting’s message blockading methods were as excellent as ever. She had been in the United Government for such a long time and had never heard of this event.

"How was it resolved?"

"The virus vanished on its own."

"Vanished on its own?"

"Perhaps it was an illusion, but I always felt that the infectious disease was alive. Its existence and the efficiency of its spread; rather than calling it a natural disaster, it seemed more like man-made calamity."

His gaze traveled through the suspended car’s window, overlooking the night-shrouded Lira.

The speed and range of infection of this epidemic were even more vicious than those of the past. In just half a day, the bustling Lira had become a dead city.

"This is a promise I made to myself."

His gaze drifted to the distance, looking at the intersecting roads. "Intuition tells me that I might find the answers during this journey, but before that, all we can do is put on our isolation suits and take all quarantine measures..."

The man’s voice abruptly stopped.

On those seemingly dead streets, he saw an unusual scene.

There were two people dressed rather lightly.

The younger one looked to be in their twenties, the older one in their forties. This sudden epidemic seemed to have had no impact on their lives whatsoever. Wearing short sleeves, they strolled boldly down the streets of Lira, as if on an after-dinner walk.

"Drive the car over there, now!"

The man struggled to contain his emotions at the moment and raised his voice as he spoke.

Lu Xiang in the car had also seen this scene, and her reaction was even quicker than that of the medical team leader.

"What are you two doing wandering around in the streets!"

After editing, she was done.

She selected Dumb Bird from her contacts and sent the message.

Shortly after, she received a reply:

"A walk after dinner keeps you fit till ninety-nine."
