ng a handgun with their barrels pointed directly at him.Xiao Yu didn't expect these people's audacity to have grown to such an extent. Furthermore, possibly due to being close to high-ranking official...Chapter 577: Traffic Jam

Xiao Yu didn't pay any attention to Dr. Cui, shook his head and quickly ran up the stairs.

After reaching the third floor, Xiao Yu saw two people lying on the empty corridor space. Three or four security guards stood beside them. Initially, these security guards wanted to go downstairs as well; after all, they were only earning a few thousand yuan per month and weren't willing to risk their lives.

However, just when they were about to不顧一切也要下去的時候，方圓打過來電話，電話裡方圓告訴他們，如果堅守到最後，將有最低五萬的獎勵，而且還保證告訴他們，即便呆在這裡，也冇有任何的生命危險。不顧一切衝下去時，方圓給他們打了電話，在電話中方圓告訴他們，如果堅持到最後，會有至少五萬元的獎金，並且還保證不會有任何生命危險。

Upon hearing this, some of the security guards left while others stayed behind. After all, five ten thousand yuan was quite tempting and they might not necessarily encounter any danger.

Xiao Yu walked over and saw that these two people were wrapped in a faint layer of black gas. After squatting down to examine them, he discovered small bite wounds on their calves which had turned completely purple-black.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu inwardly cursed; the bites were indeed caused by corpse worms. Looking around but seeing nothing, Xiao Yu pulled out golden needles and firmly inserted them into major acupoints around the bite wounds.

After needling the two men, he took a porcelain bottle from his medical kit which contained detoxifying pills he had prepared. Although these pills wouldn't have much effect against their poison, they would still be better than nothing.

Xiao Yu divided the detoxifying pills into halves, giving one half to each of the lying patients and applying the crushed remains on their wounds. Though he couldn't save them now, it could extend their lives by slowing down the toxin's invasion into their heart meridians.

"Alright, move them out and take them to the hospital! Tell the doctors that if they don’t feel confident in treating them, leave them for me to handle later!"

Xiao Yu looked at the two men, breathed a long sigh of relief, and stood up.

Though these two people's lives were temporarily stabilized by Xiao Yu, their toxins hadn't been eliminated. A few hours wouldn’t be too much of an issue, but if time dragged on further, he couldn't guarantee that the toxins would not break through the barrier set up by the golden needles and enter their heart meridians.

So Xiao Yu first had them sent into the hospital, as Western medicine also has methods to detoxify. Especially the use of serum makes sense, but if the hospital can't handle it.

Xiao Yu believes that there must be some way in the hospital. After all, the poison these people were infected with is different from what Zhang Dahan and his group were poisoned with back then. The poison Zhang Dahan’s group was inflicted with was artificially made using evil methods, whereas this one comes from being bitten by corpse worms. This kind of poison naturally forms as a self-defense mechanism for the corpses themselves when they are infested by worm larvae. It is similar to snake venom even though it has the same name; its essence differs greatly.

After watching these security guards carry out those two people, Xiao Yu turned and ran towards the fourth floor. On the corridor of the fourth-floor lay only one person in the middle, with two security guards standing beside him.

Xiao Yu walked over to take a look and found that this person was more severely poisoned than the two downstairs. Therefore, without any hesitation, Xiao Yu started administering acupuncture and applying medicine. Given the urgency of the moment, there were no better treatment methods available, so he could only try to delay the onset time for the poison.

After these people had been carried out, Xiao Yu closed his eyes and focused on sensing the surroundings. However, he did not sense any trace of the corpse worm at all. Resignedly, he left as well; a bean-sized insect could easily hide if it wanted to.

At this point in time, everyone inside the antique city had evacuated. Xiao Yu inspected each floor before leaving the antique city once he confirmed that nobody was left behind.

Outside the antique city gate stood only Jin Xianglin’s couple and Fang Yuan. The rest of the people who came out from the antique city and its employees didn't know what happened, so they all stayed away at a distance on the opposite side of the road to observe the antique city.

As these people exited the antique city, they immediately flooded into the road opposite it. Considering there were over a thousand people, traffic in this area instantly came to a standstill once these people arrived. Vehicles passing through here formed long lines that stretched out of sight.

The drivers got out of their cars since the vehicles were stuck and seemed interested in what was happening nearby, so they stopped to watch the commotion.

Consequently, more and more people gathered, causing a complete traffic jam in this area.

At this moment, several police cars sounded their sirens from afar but couldn’t enter due to heavy congestion. Helplessly, these officers got off their vehicles and ran towards the antique city.

The police didn't know what was going on here either since everything had suddenly erupted into chaos. So upon arriving, they quickly tried to find out what happened.

These policemen listened to these people's accounts, but they were still clueless about what had happened inside. They assumed that a terrorist attack might have taken place there, so their emotions were also quite tense.

At this moment, the policemen saw Xiao Yu and Jin Xianglin standing in front of them, as there was no one within twenty meters around them.

"You guys come over quickly! It's dangerous there!" When these policemen spotted Xiao Yu and his group standing by the antique city gate, they shouted at them.

At this time, all owners, customers, and employees of the entire antique city were evacuated. Clearly, something major was going to happen in the antique city; it could even be that someone had planted a bomb there.

When these policemen called out to Xiao Yu's group, the leading policeman took out his phone to make a call for reinforcements because they couldn't handle this situation with just them.

Hearing their shouts, Xiao Yu and his team turned around to look at the policemen. Seeing the bustling crowd behind them and cars blocking the roadside, they shook their heads involuntarily.

"Mr. Jin, Mr. Fang, you all go back there! Also, Mr. Fang, you help the police evacuate the crowd; otherwise, when that insect comes out later, it'll really cause chaos!"

Xiao Yu looked at the policemen shouting and then turned to Fang Yuan and Jin Xianglin, saying this. Xiao Yu couldn't guarantee that the corpse bug wouldn't come out right now. If it did come out and he saw it, it would be better; but if it came out from an angle where he couldn't see it, finding the corpse bug at that time would be extremely difficult.

Jin Xianglin and his group hesitated for a moment before walking into the crowd. Jin Xianglin's physical condition wasn't good, so all of this was handled by Fang Yuan. At least the antique city employees hadn't strayed too far away.

Fang Yuan chatted with the police officers about something; the policemen looked at Xiao Yu doubtfully before going to disperse the crowd on the highway. Meanwhile, Fang Yuan rallied the antique city staff and worked together with those police officers to evacuate people and vehicles from the area.

Time ticked by bit by bit when suddenly, a series of sirens sounded in the distance at the street's far end, though these sirens were somewhat different from the usual police sirens.

Xiao Yu listened to the sound and looked into the distance where dozens of military vehicles had parked.

The soldiers in the military vehicles saw that the area was already blocked and got off their vehicles. After getting off, they formed two long lines, with dozens of sturdy men in camouflage uniforms leading several hundred武警soldiers running towards this place.

"Reporting to you, Commander! Deputy Battalion Leader Zhou Cheng of the Armed Police reporting for duty! Please give me instructions!" Upon reaching the entrance of the antique market, a man around forty years old wearing camouflage stepped forward and saluted Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu looked at this man with a smile on his face. "Deputy Commander Zhou, I really feel bad troubling you to come all the way here."

"Heh heh, Commander Xiao is being too polite! This is what we should do!" Hearing Xiao Yu's words, this Deputy Battalion Leader Zhou chuckled.

Although Zhou Cheng was a deputy battalion leader in the Armed Police, at 十三處 (13th Bureau), he was just an ordinary member. Moreover, among those who had been poisoned by the zombie venom last time was him; it was Xiao Yu who saved his life back then.

Also, since Xiao Yu was sworn brothers with Zhang Dahan, Zhou Cheng naturally showed great respect towards Xiao Yu.

"Alright, in that case I won't be too polite." Nodding, Xiao Yu said. After that, he took out a pen and paper from his medical bag and started to draw on the paper without any hesitation.

In no time at all, Xiao Yu had finished drawing and put away the pen. On this piece of paper in his hand was now a lifelike insect drawn with ballpoint pen.

Xiao Yu handed the paper over to Zhou Cheng, saying, "Deputy Commander Zhou, ask your comrades to take a look at this paper and remember what this thing looks like!"

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Deputy Battalion Leader Zhou Cheng nodded and took the paper from Xiao Yu.

When he saw the insect on the paper, he couldn't help but suck in a breath. This insect had an unusual appearance; its body wasn't large but it had a very wide mouth that nearly covered half of its body. Moreover, this huge mouth had two sharp fangs sticking out.

Furthermore, there was also a strange white pattern on its back which resembled a skull when put together, and the surface bearing this pattern seemed to be an extremely hard shell. When one saw it, they couldn't help but feel that the insect looked very terrifying and fearsome.had booked, they started discussing many things since Li Jie's illness had been cured. Thus, without being polite to Xiao Yu, they moved into his room."Doctor Xiao, I'll be going back too!"Standing at...
