Chapter 1624: Chaotic Crowd

Jinghong Tower.

"What did you say?"

"Mr. Han is here?!"

Chen Ling's eyes flashed with surprise upon hearing this news!

"That's right." Li Qingshan nodded, also overjoyed. "Just received the news. Mr. Han has been traveling between the three major domains to treat illnesses and save people, and he just arrived in our Cangyun Domain today... He should be nearby by now."

Chen Ling was naturally no stranger to Mr. Han. Back then, the other party had almost died in the Tianxue Domain, and it was the Dusk Agency that saved him from the hands of death.

Later, Chen Ling reached some deals with Mr. Han. After Mr. Han left the Dusk Agency, there had been no news... Chen Ling knew that was because Mr. Han had been too severely injured and had likely found a place to recuperate for a while.

Wait...

Extreme mental exhaustion leading to near brain death should be a semi-permanent injury. How much time had passed, and he had already recovered?

Although Chen Ling had doubts in his heart, he was more pleased than anything else. After all, the other party was an Eighth-Order Medical God Path practitioner, and they had a good relationship. With him coming to the Cangyun Domain, Kong Baosheng was likely saved.

The noise outside Jinghong Tower grew louder. Since Chen Ling entered the Cangyun Domain, the surroundings had always been deathly silent; he had never heard such lively sounds.

Chen Ling knew this was likely because Mr. Han was approaching. His figure was like a gust of wind; with a light flick, he arrived on the second floor of the theater, stood behind the wooden railing, and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, a vast crowd of people was surrounding a carriage, moving slowly along the street.

"Mr. Han!! Mr. Han!! Please save my father... he's almost gone."

"Mr. Han... please take a look at me, the tumor on my neck is so painful! It's been bleeding and festering for the past two days... Mr. Han! I beg you, please save me!!"

"Cough, cough, cough... Mr. Han... you can't... you can't just stand by and watch an old man die..."

"Everyone move aside! I'm first! I'm young! I have treatment value!"

"Mr. Han, I beg you, even if you can't save me, at least... please save the child in my belly..."

“……”

As the noise drew closer, the voices rising and falling clearly reached Chen Ling's ears. He stood behind the railing, looking down at the carriage that was almost unable to move due to the crowd, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Li Qingshan walked to his side. Seeing this scene, his brow also furrowed:

"Where is the city defense team? Why haven't they come to maintain order?"

"It's possible they are already maintaining it." Chen Ling pointed into the distance.

In the distance, a dense mass of heads was writhing crazily like an intertwined colony of ants. Countless figures were shouting and struggling frantically, and at the very front, a few city defense team members formed a human wall, desperately trying to block the crazed citizens...

But even so, all kinds of people broke through the blockade, chasing the carriage wildly along the street, forcing the carriage to be blocked on the road again.

"Everyone listen to me!!"

"Please everyone move aside first! Once Mr. Han arrives at the clinic, everyone can line up to see the doctor!"

A young man who looked like Mr. Han's student was standing in front of the carriage, shouting at the crowded crowd, trying to lead the carriage out of the encirclement.

"Young man! I'm really very sick! I can move aside, but can you give me a number at the very front?"

"Dr. Han, Dr. Han, my dad is really not going to make it... please be merciful and treat him now! There are too many people outside... I'm afraid I won't get a turn later..."

"Young man! Can you guarantee that after we get to the clinic, everyone will be able to get a number to see the doctor?"

Looking at those eager and pitiful gazes, the young man hesitated.

After struggling for a long time, he still didn't lie and said honestly:

"I'm really sorry, everyone..."

"My teacher's physical condition is not very good right now... so, we can only prioritize treating minor illnesses."

Hearing this,

Chen Ling on the theater balcony froze.

"...Idiot." He sighed softly.

Sure enough, the moment these words were spoken, the people around the carriage were stunned for a moment, and then immediately let out sharp, explosive cries.

"No... Mr. Han!! How can you stand by and watch us die??"

"Isn't a doctor supposed to save the dying and heal the wounded?!!!"

"Did you hear that?! Mr. Han only treats minor illnesses!! He doesn't care if the rest of us live or die!!!"

These shouts traveled across the street and reached the ears of the citizens who had been blocked by the city defense team. They immediately went crazy... They were too sick. In this desperate and painful world, a doctor who could save them had finally appeared like a god, finally giving them a glimmer of hope... Now, this hope was about to be shattered.

The instinct for survival in everyone's hearts was completely ignited. In the face of life and death, they didn't care about any rules or right or wrong. Pushing one another, they directly crushed the city defense team members at the front, and then frantically trampled on the bodies of those who stumbled in front of them, charging toward the carriage in a massive wave!

"Don't step on me! Don't step on me!"

"It hurts so much... stop stepping on me!! There are people under your feet!!"

“……”

Wails rose and fell from under the chaotic footsteps. The scene was completely out of control. Those red-eyed residents didn't care about the lives of others at all. In their eyes, there seemed to be only the straw of hope in the carriage. Even if they knew there were people under their feet, they were forced to move forward in the crowded flow of people.

Those city defense team members who were knocked down by them, and those citizens who fell because they couldn't stand steadily, were already suffering from serious illnesses and were physically weak. After being trampled frantically, they lost their breath on the spot... Scarlet blood spread silently along the street, and the death toll soared amidst the deafening shouts!

"Stop!! Everyone stop!!"

"Whoever doesn't stop!! I'll have you all arrested!!!"

"Did you hear me!!!!!"

Other city defense team members who rushed over, and some Dragon-Twisting Warriors of the Power God Path, tried desperately to maintain order, and the Dragon-Twisting Warriors even began to arrest people... But at this life-and-death moment, those citizens had completely ignored all this, each of them like they were possessed, rushing toward the carriage frantically!

Chen Ling looked down. A breeze carrying the smell of blood blew past the carriage window, and the curtain lifted slightly, revealing a pale and weak figure.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough, cough..."

The figure seemed to want to say something to the young man outside, but the next moment, he began to cough weakly.

The crazed citizens were like a massive tide of corpses, not only wrapping around the carriage but also constantly climbing onto it, as if to completely submerge it. The young man who had just spoken was knocked to the ground by the radical crowd, letting out bursts of terrified screams.

On the theater balcony, the red-clad performer sighed softly...

The next second,

He flicked the sleeve of his theatrical robe.

"Go, bring him here."
