Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai hurried to Sandong City, not using magic, but instead traveling by ordinary means of transport.
If convenience wasn't a factor, this mode of travel was indeed far more hassle-free than a celestial being flying.
Along the way, they could also observe the real situation of the human plague.
Due to government control, except for railway transportation, other means of travel were restricted.
Liu Sandao and Fu Ruhai could only choose to travel by train.
Many seats on the train were empty, and everyone wore a mask as instructed by the authorities.
Many people voluntarily refrained from eating on the train, and even when drinking water, they quickly removed their masks, only to put them back on promptly.
They did not encounter anyone with dark energy along the journey.
This could be considered a reward for their work.
If the world were peaceful, they would prefer the 'Jieyou Powder' on their fingers never needed cleaning again.
Those who generally chose to travel by train did so because of long distances. Therefore, if no one spoke, some people were bound to get restless.
Some groups of people traveling together would still chat from time to time.
"Hey, did you hear? Yi Tie Ling has increased its price again!"
"So what if it increased? We can't afford it anyway!"
Two women started talking, one with short hair, the other with long hair cascading down her shoulders.
The woman with short hair appeared to be very particular about her attire; her clothes felt of better quality, but they weren't coordinated well, making her overall appearance somewhat mismatched.
The woman with long hair, on the other hand, wore no heavy makeup and her clothes were plain, but she looked very natural.
"Come on, if it came down to a life-saving moment, wouldn't you still spend the money?" the short-haired woman said.
The long-haired woman huffed, "Then I'll just die. What's the big deal?"
"Tsk tsk, you're quite open-minded. What about your family and friends?"
"If I can't even take care of myself, how can I possibly look after them?"
The long-haired woman sounded pessimistic and rather heartless.
"Alas, if you ask me, it's best to prepare a few boxes of Yi Tie Ling just in case." The short-haired woman sighed.
"Why must we use Yi Tie Ling? Didn't the TV say that 'Tuiyi Bao' is better?" the long-haired woman retorted.
"Hmph! What do you know? Yi Tie Ling is good, otherwise, why would it sell at such a high price?" the short-haired woman said, refusing to back down.
"As long as I don't die, I'll choose what's right, not what's expensive!" the long-haired woman insisted on her point.
Perhaps the argument between them livened them up, and even the surrounding passengers turned their attention to them. Suda novel network.
"Price is the touchstone; expensive must be advanced!" the short-haired woman didn't expect the long-haired woman to say that.
Professor Jin was indeed hailed as advanced.
However, the price of 'Tuiyi Bao' had been relatively stable, and more importantly, it was difficult to find in most pharmacies.
Some hospitals only provided a limited supply of the drug.
"Hmph! If the effect were so good, wouldn't the country produce it in large quantities? It doesn't look like it's produced by a major pharmaceutical company. I suspect it's from some handmade workshop!" the short-haired woman babbled on.
"Ignorance. If a handmade workshop can be recognized by the state, it means that workshop is substantial enough. You don't know anything, yet you're babbling here!" a man nearby, perhaps unable to stand it, grumbled.
"What's it to you? We're having a conversation, why are you butting in!" the short-haired woman immediately launched a strong attack.
"Alright, alright, both of you, talk less." The long-haired woman hastily appeased them, speaking to the man while patting the short-haired woman's arm to comfort her.
Just then, a train attendant walked over to maintain order, and they stopped arguing.
"It seems we need to examine the ingredients of this Yi Tie Ling!" Fu Ruhai said to Liu Sandao, his interest piqued by their conversation.
Originally, their sole concern was treating the plague. As long as it was effective, it didn't matter who the prescription came from.
However, if it wasn't achieved through divine power but through a mortal's ingenious remedy, it would be truly unexpected.
They wondered what kind of divine being could create a medicine with effects similar to 'Jieyou Powder.' The more Fu Ruhai thought about it, the more interested he became in Yi Tie Ling.
Liu Sandao said nothing, merely pursing his lips slightly.
Upon arriving at Sandong City, the streets were still deserted, and many shops were closed.
This was not a good sign.
According to normal procedure, anyone arriving at the train station would be taken for quarantine and isolation.
This was the method officially announced for controlling the spread of the plague.
Admittedly, it was very effective in controlling the spread.
Liu Sandao tugged at Fu Ruhai's sleeve. As they passed through the pedestrian walkway, they leaned against the wall and disappeared.
Among the crowds coming and going, no one noticed the two people who had inexplicably vanished.
Arriving at Bai Suxiang's doorstep, Fu Ruhai immediately knocked.
"Who is it?" Bai Suxiang's voice came from inside.
"It's us!" Upon hearing Fu Ruhai's voice, Bai Suxiang "whoosh" and yanked the door open. With them here, her parents' plague would soon be eradicated, and all plagues would be kept at bay once more.
"Quick, come in!"
"Who is it?" Guo Xiufang asked, emerging from the bedroom.
"Auntie, it's us! Long time no see, how are you? Are you feeling well?" Fu Ruhai said hastily before Guo Xiufang could speak further.
Guo Xiufang had initially seen Liu Sandao, and her mood was already sour. But after Fu Ruhai's words, all her unpleasant feelings vanished in an instant.
It had to be said that Fu Ruhai was truly a blessed person. With a face full of smiles, his words were as pleasant as a spring breeze.
"Me? I'm fine, I'm fine. Seeing you makes me feel better, even if I wasn't! Hehe! Come, come, sit here!" Guo Xiufang said, clearing space on the sofa and inviting Fu Ruhai to sit beside her.
Liu Sandao found a suitable spot and sat down casually.
"Auntie, are you catching a cold?" Fu Ruhai asked with concern.
"Uh, yes. Xiao Xiang already gave me medicine. I'm feeling much better now." Guo Xiufang did not immediately tell Fu Ruhai that she had actually contracted the plague. Firstly, her spirits had improved considerably, and even Bai Fuchi's condition had improved somewhat. Secondly, if she told them it was the plague, they might be taken for quarantine and isolation. On the principle of not asking for trouble, she didn't elaborate. Furthermore, Bai Suxiang knew the situation; she hadn't said anything and had even deliberately let them in, clearly not avoiding infection. Guo Xiufang only knew part of the truth and was completely unaware of Fu Ruhai and Liu Sandao's true identities.
As they spoke, Liu Sandao had already been observing her and Bai Fuchi for a long time.
