Chapter 436: Chapter 436
Ding Fan followed the man in sunglasses and arrived here, where his Divine Sense clearly showed that the person had indeed entered the club.
Immediately, Ding Fan prepared to enter the club with Mu Zi.
"Excuse me, do you have a membership card?" the club's staff member asked Ding Fan.
"We have money," Mu Zi retorted to the staff member.
After hearing Mu Zi's words, the staff member reacted as if it was the most ridiculous thing he'd heard in the world.
"Sorry, but our club does not accept cash. If you have a membership card, everything here does not require money."
Mu Zi, often mingling in Yanjing's elite circles, had some understanding of such clubs.
These clubs were generally open only to children of the elite. Those who came here were either officials' progeny or rich second generations.
To enter such clubs, having money alone wasn't enough; you also needed status! Both money and status were indispensable.
Although Mu Zi hadn't mentioned it, Ding Fan could tell from the situation at the entrance that breaking in wouldn't be easy.
"Little sister, want to get in? Just treat me well tonight, and you can play all you like inside!" At this moment, a spoiled young man approached, his large hand reaching directly for Mu Zi's backside.
How could a fairy's tofu be so easily devoured? Mu Zi didn't wait for the hand to touch her and directly kicked the spoiled youth to the ground with a swift leg sweep.
The scion immediately fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing.
"There are actually people who dare to show off here." A voice settled, and at that moment, four burly men emerged from inside the club.
Following the four stocky men was a young man in a white suit.
The young man in white walked to the door with an arrogant demeanor, glanced at the spoiled young master that Mu Zi had kicked over, and then raised an eyebrow at Ding Fan before saying to his four subordinates in an indifferent voice.
"Break their hands and feet..."
Ding Fan's brows furrowed deeply.
The person didn't ask any questions and straight away gave orders to break his limbs; facing this, how could Ding Fan possibly indulge him?
The four stocky men had just received the command and hadn't yet moved when Ding Fan's figure already sprang into action.
Suddenly appearing in front of the four men, Ding Fan sent them flying out like a magic trick.
Thud, thud...the four men fell to the ground, twitching nonstop.
The young man in white frowned and looked displeased.
Ding Fan's way of sending the four men flying was so bizarre that to him, it seemed as if they had flown back by themselves. The earlier scene reminded him somewhat of a scam.
"I want to see your boss," Ding Fan said, slightly turning his head to look at the young man in white. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡⚑𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚑𝙣𝙚𝙩
"Kid, you should know this is the Arctic Club..."
The young man in white initially wanted to warn Ding Fan but before he could finish his sentence, Ding Fan's right hand lifted, and a gust of wind violently struck the young man in white's chest.
When the young man in white managed to stand again, his entire right arm was broken, rendered immobile.
"You... you know witchcraft..."
The young man in white's face was full of shock. Ding Fan had merely raised his hand, and the man had felt an immense power. To the man in white, if it wasn't witchcraft, what else could it be?
"If you want to keep your other arm, lead me to your boss," Ding Fan said in a calm tone.
The man in white initially wanted to throw out a few harsh words, but remembering Ding Fan's 'witchcraft', he didn't dare to utter anything reckless and obediently led the way.
Ding Fan and Mu Zi followed behind the white-clothed man as they walked into the club.
Upon entering the club, Ding Fan released his Divine Sense entirely. However, to his surprise, the spectacled man he was tracking was no longer within the club.
The young man in white led Ding Fan into the club and directly into the basement.
The above-ground part of the club had entertainment facilities such as hot springs, bars, and rest areas, while the underground section contained various machine workshops.
Ding Fan followed the young man in white through the underground corridor. After a walk that lasted about fifteen minutes and passing through a hallway, the man in white suddenly dashed forward.
Mu Zi was stunned, just as she was about to chase after the man in white, Ding Fan grasped her aside.
Mu Zi looked back at Ding Fan with some confusion, but at that moment, they were trapped between two iron doors, front and back, unable to free themselves.
"Don't move..." Ding Fan whispered.
Mu Zi nodded in understanding.
All along the way, while the man in white led the way in front, Ding Fan's Divine Sense had never left him. The man in white suddenly accelerated, then used the iron doors to trap Ding Fan. How could such a trick escape Ding Fan's eyes? And how could those iron doors possibly hold Ding Fan?
The reason Ding Fan allowed himself to be trapped was mainly to probe into the depths of the Polaris Club and to understand the relationship between the middle-aged man in sunglasses and the club.
"Kid, you think you're so tough, huh? You think you can fight? Trying to act tough with me? Just wait until our boss comes back and see how our boss takes care of you!" The man in white shouted at Ding Fan inside the iron doors.
Ding Fan completely ignored the man in white's words and turned to Mu Zi.
"If a strong enemy appears later, don't worry about me. Once you break out, tell Elder Mu about what happened in Xingcheng."
Mu Zi pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Okay."
Mu Zi believed that whatever decision Ding Fan made, he had his reasons.
Xingcheng, City Hall.
"Mayor, there are already over one hundred and fifty cases of Corpse Poison infection in Xingcheng. After some experts' consultation, it was determined that these cases of Corpse Poison infection will turn into zombies in about ten days..."
Inside the Mayor's office, the head of the Xingcheng Health Bureau was reporting to Mayor Li Jianfeng.
"Mayor, the number is still climbing. In the eastern suburbs, five zombies were found… Those five zombies have been killed, but many suspected Corpse Poison infections have been discovered in the villages nearby the zombies, with the number feared to exceed five hundred…"
The Deputy Mayor was also reporting the latest situation to Li Jianfeng.
Li Jianfeng's head was truly hurting from the stress.
The thing that political leaders feared most was a large-scale epidemic. Once, Jiangnan City suffered a large-scale infectious disease outbreak following improper flood control preparations.
That Mayor's career was ruined because of the incident, and they retired early.
That was a large-scale infectious disease, but what Li Jianfeng was facing now was an extensive issue of zombie Corpse Poison.
Curing such a widespread epidemic wouldn't not only bring no credit, but even the slightest mishap would jeopardize everything, perhaps even leading to imprisonment…
"Mayor, we need to come up with a plan immediately. If we don't quickly come up with a plan now, once these carriers of Corpse Poison actually turn into zombies, it will indeed be a true siege of zombies..."
The head of the Health Bureau said urgently.
"We currently have no cure for Corpse Poison. The expert group has been working on it for a long time, but they still haven't found a way to deal with it. The Antibiotic Serum has been used… but there is no cure that can suppress the Corpse Poison," said the Deputy Mayor, wringing his hands.
"What can we do now? We can't just watch these people turn into zombies…"
"If it really comes to that, when the time comes, we might have to burn all the Corpse Poison carriers…" The Deputy Mayor sighed heavily and slumped to the ground.
All three people in the room remained silent.
Burning all the Corpse Poison carriers was the last resort, but if it really came to that, none of the three in the room could avoid responsibility…
They would have to face strong public opinion and pressure from all sides, and their political careers would likely come to an end…
At that moment, Li Jianfeng, who had been mostly silent, stood up. Although he was overwhelmed with anxiety, his expression remained calm.
"Send orders to the Armed Police, the Special Police, and the military to closely monitor all water sources. Also, increase surveillance in crowded places. Those who are infected with Corpse Poison must be isolated."
After saying this, Li Jianfeng paused, then his expression hardened as if he had made a great decision. "Inform the military to prepare for the worst."
The Deputy Mayor and the Health Bureau head both nodded.
Li Jianfeng continued, "For the rest, you guys coordinate with the other members of the emergency team. All matters must be handled with meticulousness and specificity!"
Li Jianfeng then addressed the head of the Health Bureau. "Go, and urge the medical staff and experts to race against the virus, to work quickly to create a serum that can suppress the Corpse Poison. The people of Xingcheng are placing all their hopes on them at this time. Tell them that if they can develop a serum to suppress the Corpse Poison, I, Li Jianfeng, guarantee a reward of ten million!"
"Yes! Mayor, I will make sure to give my utmost to complete this task well!"
After speaking with the head of the Health Bureau, Li Jianfeng then looked towards the Deputy Mayor. "If it truly comes to the point where we can't hold back anymore, you must act boldly. Whatever happens, I will take responsibility!"
