Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 830 - 804: Panic Begins
Chapter 830: Chapter 804: Panic Begins
All aspects of the plan were unfolding, and Xiao Yu’s control center was being built at an accelerated pace. All personnel had been moved over.
In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken. Those temporarily without tasks were all focused on cultivation. At this point, it was no longer a concern whether the secrets of the Ancient Martial World would be exposed; the only thing to do was ask Fang Dad and Fang Mom not to spread word outside.
Although everything here was arranged properly, Tangyu still felt uneasy, with a constant sense that something was about to happen.
Sure enough, Ghost Doctor’s voice rang out from afar: "Something’s wrong, Tangyu, come take a look quickly."
Tangyu ran back to the living room, where Ghost Doctor pointed at the television. The screen was broadcasting urgent news reports, showing scenes of ordinary citizens bitten by Poisonous People, along with surveillance footage documenting the mysterious attacks. The situation was chaotic, and the worst fears were being realized.
"We now bring an important news report: According to incomplete statistics, in just a few hours this morning, there have been nearly three hundred police reports, and over a thousand people have been injured. The situation is extremely severe and dire. These strange black-faced biters, what exactly are they? Zombies or reanimated corpses?..."
After watching the news, Ghost Doctor’s intense killing intent surged: "It seems that the situation is far more critical than we imagined. Judging by this alone, there must be at least three or four hundred Poisonous People. So many, and dispersed in every corner of Donglin City, with very clear division of tasks, enough to cause panic and chaos in Donglin City, and a horrifying disaster has thus come upon us. Even if Donglin City’s police mobilize all their forces, it would likely be insufficient."
Lu Qian also said gravely: "Indeed, so many Poisonous People, and spread out so widely, our manpower is simply inadequate. If this continues unchecked, true chaos will ensue. Yinshan Wang’s move is truly vicious, aiming to spark a war between the Dark World and the Ancient Martial World. The people of the world will not escape this calamity."
Tangyu’s face was also cold, his mind rapidly pondering these matters: "Regardless of the circumstances, we can only confront this head-on. Identify some locations where Poisonous People are appearing, anyone with the capacity should go out and capture them. The police are likely overwhelmed by now, I think they will come looking for me. When they do, I will coordinate with them, amassing our power along with Donglin’s police force, and if necessary, I will attempt to mobilize military power."
Everyone nodded.
"I haven’t been out in a long time. Lu Qian, Wu Fei, let’s go," Lu Qian said.
Lu Hanni immediately said: "Grandpa, I want to go too, I want to kill Poisonous People."
Lu Qian shook his head: "No, your strength is too weak, you want to kill Poisonous People? It would be more like them killing you. You stay at home."
Lu Hanni pouted.
Hu Yaomei, Liang Youshan, Wang Wei, and Wu Fei also took their orders and went out. Though it might not have a significant impact, it was better than sitting at home doing nothing, wasn’t it?
"Master, stay here and guard this place. I’ll handle the outside matters," Tangyu said.
Ghost Doctor nodded: "Rest assured, Tangyu, I’ll defend this place. As long as it’s not someone from the Earthly Realm attacking, no one can trouble me."
Tangyu nodded, trusting in his Master’s strength, knowing that Yi Shao wouldn’t act rashly. If he dared to come, Tangyu was confident in detaining him. Minor Poisonous People certainly wouldn’t dare cause trouble here.

The Poisonous People biting incidents quickly stirred up chaos in Donglin City, with various news reports, photos, and videos flooding everywhere.
This unprecedentedly frightening situation also sparked considerable panic; many people simply stayed at home, afraid to go out. Those bitten were sent to hospitals, but the hospitals were powerless.
This turned the originally lively and bustling Donglin City into one with a tense atmosphere. All of Donglin City’s police forces, including armed police, special police, and even anti-riot squads, were fully deployed. Nearly ten thousand officers, fully armed, patrolled the streets, putting Donglin City on full alert. This state of alert naturally exacerbated widespread public anxiety and speculation.
Various news reports also spread nationwide throughout Huaxia, causing a huge uproar.
The news, media, and internet were filled with speculation about the Poisonous People incident, with some even claiming the apocalypse was upon us and the world was about to be ruled by zombies.
A tumultuous storm had begun.
Just after leaving the villa, a few police cars stopped, and two middle-aged men with solemn expressions got out, walking directly towards Tangyu. Tangyu naturally recognized them: City Public Security Bureau’s Yang Tianqiang, also Yang Xiaoyu’s uncle, and Eastern District Public Security Bureau’s Jiang Xian, Director Jiang.
"Tangyu, do you have time to talk?" Director Yang asked.
Tangyu nodded and said, "Uncle Yang, I knew you would come looking for me. I was planning to find you too. Let’s go inside and talk."
Yang Tianqiang nodded, and along with Jiang Xian, followed Tangyu into the Princess Apartments. After briefly introducing Ghost Doctor and Lu Hanni and inviting the two to sit down, Tangyu said, "Uncle Yang, I just saw the news about the situation on TV and had already anticipated it. This issue is extremely serious; if not handled properly, it will be a major disaster for Donglin City, with potential casualties numbering in the countless."
Yang Tianqiang and Jiang Xian’s faces became even more grave. They were well aware of the severity of the situation; otherwise, they wouldn’t have come to find Tangyu.
They knew Tangyu had returned yesterday and didn’t pay much attention at first. However, today so many incidents have occurred, making Yang Tianqiang realize that the outbreak of the poisonous people incident might be connected to Tangyu.
Regarding Tangyu’s identity, they had many suspicions. Tangyu possessed many strange powers that they found unusual and felt Tangyu was not a simple person.
The outbreak of the poisonous people incident further confirmed some of their suspicions: this world truly wasn’t as simple as they had imagined. There must be many unknown elements, concealed from common knowledge.
Yang Tianqiang asked, "Tangyu, do you have any way to deal with these poisonous people?"
Tangyu replied, "It’s hard to say at the moment; I have too few people around me. There are too many poisonous people this time, and they’re too dispersed. Dealing with them isn’t easy. If it were a one-on-one confrontation, I could easily eliminate these poisonous people. This time, we must rely on the police force. You have enough manpower, but your ability to handle poisonous people is somewhat lacking. I have the power, but not enough people. So, we need to cooperate closely to resolve this crisis and stop the disaster."
Yang Tianqiang felt relieved with Tangyu’s words and held Tangyu’s hand: "That makes me feel a bit more assured. My head is about to explode today. These strange people are truly heinous. Tangyu, what exactly are these monsters? Why are they so terrible?"
Tangyu replied, "Uncle Yang, there are some things I can’t tell you right now as they involve many secrets that can’t be disclosed publicly. Let’s not question our side’s situation, Uncle Yang. As for these monsters, in simple terms, they are poisonous people, meaning people carrying extreme poison. They are human, not some kind of alien. However, the strength of these poisonous people is terrifyingly high. Not just the police, even the special forces of Huaxia Country wouldn’t stand a chance against them."
"Even if the Xuanwu Group’s four teams came over, they would find it hard to withstand them. Therefore, your main police task now is to prevent these poisonous people from rampaging freely and to cooperate with my people."
"What—— so powerful?" Yang Tianqiang was taken aback, such a scenario was indeed terrifying.
A few of them might be manageable, but thinking there are three to four hundred of them made his scalp tingle. How could they ever deal with them?
Yang Tianqiang quickly steadied himself: "Tangyu, how do you want us to cooperate with you?"
Tangyu said, "You have enough manpower and resources, so you need to use these resources effectively to support us. Simply put, you need to provide timely information on the poisonous people’s whereabouts. As long as we can determine their location, we can quickly move in and eliminate them. This is probably the only feasible approach. However, my team is very small and insufficient to promptly eradicate all poisonous people. Nevertheless, I will do my utmost."
Yang Tianqiang immediately nodded: "No problem at all. We’ve deployed over ten thousand police officers and are organizing the monitoring of the entire Donglin City. Any appearance of poisonous people can be detected."
Tangyu nodded, "That’s excellent. You can discuss the plan with Xiao Yu. He is using his people to set up a control center. I’ve provided a communication method for all our team members. Any news about poisonous people should go directly to Xiao Yu, who will then notify us."
"Alright, I’ll arrange it right away," Yang Tianqiang said.
Tangyu quickly led Yang Tianqiang and Jiang Xian to Xiao Yu. Yang Tianqiang promptly mobilized the elite police force to set up a control center. With the police’s full cooperation, the construction speed naturally increased.
Once the control center is fully set up, there will be some level of counterattack strength.
Currently, Tangyu only had a few people available, such as Fang Yishui and Feng Tian, who were still diligently cultivating their anger, and Yang Xiaoyu and the others, who were utilizing Tangyu’s resources for cultivation. For this battle, Tangyu had expended almost half of his Spirit Stones.
It’s estimated that it will be quickest by tomorrow for them to be capable of killing poisonous people.
The control center’s setup is expected to be completed by tomorrow at the earliest as well.
With Yang Tianqiang and Xiao Yu handling matters here, Tangyu had peace of mind and left the Princess Apartments to search for poisonous people.
The streets had lost their usual hustle and bustle, and it was rare to see anyone walking around. Only occasionally a car would pass by, revealing a bleak scene.
Driving swiftly down the street, Tangyu thought it had one advantage: no risk of traffic jams. He scanned his surroundings vigilantly; any poisonous person appearing wouldn’t escape his sight. These poisonous people were very cunning, making them difficult to catch.
"Hmm——" Suddenly, Tangyu saw two men in black suits rush into a store. He quickly drove over, parked at the store entrance, jumped out of the car, and rushed into the store.
