Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1536 - 684: The Gap (2)

Now, at most, they can only use the Detoxification Potion to alleviate the condition of those with mild poisoning.

Yes, just alleviate! It’s not detoxification.

It’s like having taken the first step of ten thousand miles, just a beginning, and can’t compare to those who can directly cure even the most severe illnesses.

"Whoever can get Divine Doctor Ding, can... obtain Da Liang City!"

Young minds have the advantage of quick thinking.

After giving a few hurried remarks, indicating the Nanyuan Family’s skills are not refined and that they would go home to continue research, promising an eventual explanation to everyone, Nanyuan En rushed back home with his people.

He needs to immediately consult his father, bringing the resources of the Nanyuan Family, to contract cooperation with Divine Doctor Ding, preferably before other families or the Foolish Underworld approach the Doctor, signing an exclusive cooperation contract with the Divine Doctor!

The Nanyuan Family left in a hurry, and the refugees present also couldn’t wait for the Nanyuan Family to leave quickly.

With the Nanyuan Family present, they couldn’t leave the scene freely.

But actually, each of them was eager to head to the Foolish Underworld, hoping to meet the Divine Doctor.

Compared to the Divine Doctor, the Nanyuan Family’s antidote feels like a joke or something as unreliable as a scam.

"Only Divine Doctor Ding, only he has the ability to detoxify us!"

"Let’s go, let’s go! Let’s try our luck at the Foolish Underworld. I heard someone has already successfully slipped in over there. As long as we can enter the Foolish Underworld, we can meet Divine Doctor Ding and cure our disease!"

People flocked towards the Foolish Underworld, especially those with critically ill family members, racing desperately towards hope.

In fact, the Foolish Underworld had come here before, to request their critically ill patients be sent in for centralized treatment.

Of course, it was said to be centralized treatment, but everyone knew it meant sending them in to die, making it easier for the Foolish Underworld to take the dead out of the city for cremation.

At that time, they had deep hostility towards the Foolish Underworld. Agreeing would mean giving up on saving their relatives, watching them go in to die.

In the Da Xia Dynasty, where loyalty and filial piety were mainstream culture, such actions by the younger generation would lead to lifelong shame.

Who would have thought that suddenly there would be word of a Divine Doctor in the Foolish Underworld, who actually has the ability to cure this illness, even bringing severely ill people back to health.

At this moment, these people felt nothing but regret.

Wishing they had sent their relatives to the Foolish Underworld earlier; otherwise, by now, their relatives might have been cured and reunited with them, just like Widow Kong.

It’s said Widow Kong and a few other seriously ill people who came out of the Foolish Underworld are surrounded by crowds at their doorstep, all there for news about the Divine Doctor.

And the news about the Divine Doctor mostly comes from their accounts.

But the truth can’t be faked, and a fake can’t be real. Widow Kong is lively right in front, an ironclad proof; even if we step back, there must be ways in the Foolish Underworld to treat critically ill patients!

The unfortunate thing is, they were too late.

By the time they arrived at the Foolish Underworld, a long queue had already formed at the entrance, and by the looks of it, they wouldn’t reach the front even by the next day.

"Officer! Officer! My old mother is gravely poisoned, with little time left, I beseech you to show mercy and save her life!"

Someone shouted loudly, but that had been used before, only to receive cold gazes from the officers.

Could they... only watch helplessly as their old mother dies in this long line? Clearly, hope is right in front; if they could just break through the blockade, rush into the Foolish Underworld, then...

Impulsive thoughts flashed, but quickly calmed down under the reflection of the soldier’s sharp blades.

Fortunately, the Foolish Underworld is not entirely unfeeling.

Or to say, for those who are truly severely ill, they do take them in for centralized management, to prevent them from dying outside without immediate cremation, avoiding unnecessary troubles.

Eventually, the critically ill patients gathered outside the Foolish Underworld were carried inside.

But this wasn’t a solution, as more people got the news, more brought critically ill people here, seeking a glimmer of hope.

The Foolish Underworld did not have the ability to save people; otherwise, it would be fine if it was just tiring.

The problem is, the saving Divine Doctor does not belong to the Foolish Underworld. Whether he saves people or not, they have no control; all they can do is follow the Doctor’s arrangement to present the patients before him.

Furthermore, with only one Divine Doctor facing so many patients, how could he cope?

Even if the Foolish Underworld took them in, how many would survive is unknown; most would likely be taken out at night for cremation.

Amid this growing tension, the line outside the Foolish Underworld stretched several blocks.

Despite the Foolish Underworld repeatedly stating they’re not open to the public and the Divine Doctor isn’t seeing anyone, it couldn’t deter the people’s enthusiasm.

"This isn’t a solution."

As it turned dark, Hong Yanxia stood on the rooftop, looking at the countless tents outside the Foolish Underworld and the thousands of household lights beyond, sighed and said.

Beside her, He Guxue, wrapped in bandages, spoke with no emotional fluctuations.

"Strengthen patrols and watch out for disturbances. In a few days, they will disperse on their own."

They would disperse, indeed.

Right now, people gather because some truly have critically ill families seeking urgent help.

In a few days, when some have died, the urgency would dissipate naturally.

And some people are merely there to speculate or network, without serious issues or at least none life-threatening.

These people, after a few days, would lose patience and, seeing no opportunity, would naturally settle down.

After such filtration, those still waiting outside the Foolish Underworld to see the Divine Doctor have no other recourse, letting them wait idly. If the Divine Doctor does develop a cure or treatment, those remaining would be prioritized.

As they were discussing this, a commotion suddenly arose below.

He Guxue glanced down and unemotionally stated.

"The Nanyuan Family has arrived."

Hong Yanxia raised an eyebrow.

"Finally, they’ve come; the last of the four families to arrive. Being able to hold out till now, they must be well-prepared."

"I’ve heard that the Nanyuan Family tested a Detoxification Medicine on refugees during the day—one they developed themselves."

Detoxification Medicine?

Hong Yanxia’s expression changed.

She was busy not only with the queue at the Foolish Underworld entrance but also with the final investigation of the place where Lin Liang died in the wild.

Hence, she wasn’t very aware of today’s events in the city.

"Did the Detoxification Potion work? Where did the Nanyuan Family find a Divine Doctor who developed a cure so quickly? If that’s the case, with Divine Doctor Ding and the Nanyuan Family working together, perhaps they can really solve the threat left by Lin Liang!"

"You’re too optimistic. According to the information, the Nanyuan Family only tested ten bottles; it killed one person on the spot. Others saw little relief from poisoning. The Nanyuan Family’s intentions might be good, but the potion’s efficacy is far from complete detoxification."

"..."

Hong Yanxia felt a moment of pity after hearing this.

Then she realized, this was normal, the common state of affairs.

Like Divine Doctor Ding, who cured the most severe patients immediately, now that was extraordinary!

"There is a gap even between Divine Doctors..."

Leaving this comment, Hong Yanxia was the first to leap off the rooftop, moving towards the Nanyuan Family’s group.
