The little turtle retracted into its shell and never came out again. It didn’t listen to anything.
At this time, the principal remembered the instructions from President Mi and immediately reminded: “Miss Mi Wan, you can ask the president to call the little turtle. The little turtle is wearing a phone watch on her hand.”
Mi Wan didn’t know how the little turtle got involved with her eldest brother? Moreover, the timid little turtle seemed to trust her eldest brother very much after listening to the principal’s words. It was really strange. Could it be that Mi Yan gave people a strong sense of security?
“Forget it, my eldest brother is still in isolation. I won’t cause any trouble to him. I’ll just take her away.” The shark demon was looking for the little turtle. As long as she sent the little turtle there, when she saw the shark demon, the little turtle would naturally emerge from her turtle shell.
It just so happened that she also wanted to ask Fan Chen about this new virus. Just like the back and forth between her and Butler Ye, it had been revealed on the Internet that the new virus had been discovered in more than a dozen cities. It seemed that everyone had made an appointment, and they all broke the news out at this time.
After saying that, Mi Wan bent down and picked up the whole turtle shell. The head and feet were held very casually.
The principal, the small class teacher, and Butler Ye all stared at the intact turtle shell with wide eyes, and at the same time exclaimed in their hearts: Oh my God, what a powerful turtle shell, even though it is like this, no one has fallen out.
“Uncle Ye, let’s go.” Mi Wan hugged the big turtle shell, waved to the little frys, and strode out.
Butler Ye hurriedly followed, chased for a few steps and said, “Miss, let me hold it.”
“It’s okay, it’s not heavy.” Mi Wan refused.
“How can it not be heavy? Such a big child.” Butler Ye insisted on helping his young lady hold the turtle shell.
Mi Wan didn’t know how to refuse Butler Ye, and she couldn’t tell him that the little turtle had now returned to its original shape. Now the whole big turtle shell plus the little turtle inside weighed less than three kilograms in total. So, in front of Butler Ye, she raised the turtle shell in her hand, threw it heavily into the sky under Butler Ye’s disbelieving gaze, and then caught it steadily.
“…” Butler Ye choked for a long time and silently gave a thumbs up, “Good physical strength.”
Then he never mentioned helping.
After leaving the kindergarten, Mi Wan asked Butler Ye to go to Mi Xiaodi’s school to check on Mi Xiaodi’s condition. If the school situation was not good, he should take Mi Xiaodi back first. Then she hugged the little turtle and took a taxi to Wanwu Group.
It was about fifty minutes away from the kindergarten to Wanwu Group. The driver was listening to the latest news, which was simultaneously broadcasting the cities where the new virus had been discovered. Nanhai City deserved to be a tourist city. In just one day, more than 20 cities across the country had discovered confirmed cases at the same time. The news said that this kind of case had an incubation period of 8-10 days. Many people were infected with the virus without knowing it. It broke out only when they returned home after traveling, leading to the current nationwide infectious breakout.
“There must be some abroad. I guess the news will be reported later.” The driver suddenly sighed, “I hope it can be controlled as soon as possible this time. I heard that people are even dying.”
“Dying?” Mi Wan was surprised.
“I have a classmate who works as a nurse in a hospital in Nanhai City. It is said that one of the first batch of patients sent there has died. It has not been announced to the public yet, but this kind of thing will not last long.” The driver was worried. “Besides, it is said that a doctor has also been infected.”
“Is it so serious?”
“This is just the beginning.” The driver took a look at Mi Wan’s age and said, “You are still young, you don’t know what happened thirty years ago. At that time, the H6N6 virus broke out. It spread very quickly, and the mortality rate after infection was as high as 15%. At that time, people everywhere were panicked. There were no people on the streets and shopping malls, but there were so many patients in the hospital that they couldn’t accommodate it. Many people could only lie outside the emergency room when they were infected, with no one taking care of them. If the pathogen had not been found and a vaccine had not been developed, who knows what would have happened. The fact that the government was able to respond so quickly this time is also because it has learned from the earlier contagious virus, the infection grows at a geometric rate, which is particularly scary.”
Geometric growth, Mi Wan had the memory of the original owner, so she understood mathematics, and understood how terrifying geometric growth was. It seemed that this virus was much more serious than she thought.
Just after Mi Wan gained a new understanding of the dangers of the virus, the car arrived at Wanwu Group.
Before leaving, Mi Wan sent a message to Fan Chen, so when she arrived, Quan Juncai was already waiting downstairs in the company.
“Master Mi.” In front of Mi Wan, Quan Juncai didn’t dare to call her the Demon King’s wife. His own Demon King’s peach blossoms were just blooming. If he accidentally tore them away, he would definitely not be able to eat it and walk away.
“Is Fan Chen inside?” Mi Wan asked, her voice a little anxious.
“Here, my lord is on the phone with Old Xuan Turtle, that’s why he didn’t come down to pick you up in person.” Regardless of whether Mi Wan would mind or not, Quan Juncai had to tell the reason, so that Mi Wan wouldn’t misunderstand his lord.
She didn’t know whether it was because she sensed the strong aura of the demon clan, or the name Old Xuan Turtle stimulated the little turtle, but the turtle shell, which had been quiet along the way, actually trembled twice at this time.
This little guy was a little timid, but she was very excited. Mi Wan smiled and knocked on the turtle shell and asked, “Is it convenient for me to go find him now?”
“Of course, our Wanwu Group doesn’t have a place where you can’t go, Master Mi.” Quan Juncai said in a confused tone.
Although she knew that the fox demon must be flattering her, Mi Wan was still very happy after hearing this. She walked in with a smile, and then led by Quan Juncai to Fan Chen’s office.
There were only two demons in the office, Fan Chen and Shark Demon. Fan Chen frowned and seemed to be worried about something, while Shark Demon was sitting lazily on the sofa, picking a bunch of grapes and eating comfortably. Seeing Mi Wan come in, holding the little turtle in her hand, the shark demon teleported to Mi Wan and took the little turtle.
“Little Turtle, I found you. Where have you been these past few days?” The shark demon asked worriedly towards the head of the turtle shell.
Hearing the familiar voice, the little turtle cautiously poked her head out. When she saw clearly that the demon in front of her was really the shark demon, her eyes suddenly lit up with excitement. She instantly transformed back into her human body and hugged the shark demon tightly: “Auntie.”
“Be good, is there anyone bullying you? Tell auntie, and I will kill them.” The shark demon said fiercely.
“Get out and try it~~~” Mi Wan squinted her eyes and snorted coldly. This shark demon had lived in the deep sea for a long time and rarely came to land. She once did something like driving fish with viruses to the offshore. Thus, Mi Wan couldn’t allow her to act recklessly. Moreover, sharks were carnivores. If she changed into her original form and swallowed a lot of people, the Demon Hunters Association may not even be able to find any evidence.
The shark demon glanced at Mi Wan. She knew that Mi Wan was very powerful, and now that she was on land, she might not be her opponent in a real fight. What’s more, the other party also had a demon boyfriend who was far more powerful than her.
“Auntie, I’m fine.” The little turtle replied slowly.
“It’s okay, you scared me to death. Didn’t I tell you to stay still and wait for me to wake up?” asked the shark demon.
“I stayed still, but aunt sneezed in the middle of her sleep, and I was blown far away, and then I couldn’t swim back no matter how hard I swam.” The little turtle said how she felt aggrieved even when she swam so hard, so she just swam to the shore.
“…” The shark demon laughed awkwardly and was speechless.
“Heisha, just wait until you come back to die.” At this time, an old voice suddenly sounded in the room.
“Great, great, great grandpa.” The little turtle’s eyes lit up and she turned to look at the conch on the table not far away.
At this time, Mi Wan also noticed the conch in Fan Chen’s hand. Thinking about what the fox demon had just said and Fan Chen’s expression when he entered the door just now, Mi Wan guessed that Fan Chen’s communication with Old Xuan Turtle might not have gone smoothly this time.
“Little Turtle, why didn’t you contact Great-Great-Great Grandpa when you got to the shore?” Old Turtle asked.
“My sound-transmitting conch was given to an uncle who smells very good.” The shark demon took the little turtle over and let the little turtle hold the sound-transmitting conch and chat with the old turtle.
Fan Chen did not interrupt the chat between the grandparent and grandchild. Instead, he walked up to Mi Wan and asked, “Is your brother okay?”
There were cubs of the demon clan in the kindergarten, so Fan Chen already had a grasp of the situation there, thus he asked about Mi Yan’s condition.
“Still in isolation, but he’s fine.” Mi Wan said.
“That’s good.” Fan Chen nodded.
“Did your conversation with Old Xuan Turtle not go well?” Mi Wan asked directly.
Fan Chen didn’t intend to hide it from Mi Wan. Seeing that she noticed it, he smiled bitterly and nodded.
Quan Juncai had been paying attention to the content of the chat between the two. Seeing that Mi Wan finally asked about the virus, he immediately took over the conversation and said, “Master Mi, can I express my opinion about this virus?”
There were some things he could say, but if his master said it, it may hurt the relationship he and Master Mi Wan had just established.
Mi Wan glanced at the fox demon curiously and nodded.
“Purely from the point of view of the demon clan, I don’t agree with letting Old Xuan Turtle help purify the virus.” Quan Juncai said categorically.
Mi Wan didn’t expect Quan Jun to say this, and his attitude was unusually determined, so she frowned immediately.
“I know Master Mi may not be happy after hearing this, but can you please listen to my explanation?” Without waiting for Mi Wan’s reaction, Quan Juncai continued, “Although the outside world is still investigating the origin of this virus, we all know it. The pathogen this time evolved from the polluted fish in the sea. Humans pollute the ocean, the fish are then infected, and then the fishermen salvage the fish, and after contact, new viruses mutate. In this whole process, the demon clan has had no intervention. It was a virus that evolved naturally after humans polluted the environment, right?”
“That’s right.” Although she didn’t want to admit it, what Quan Juncai said was the truth.
“So, this virus outbreak is actually mankind’s own consequence. It is a warning from nature to mankind. Isn’t that right?”
“That’s right.” Mi Wan’s face turned pale after two consecutive words, she now understood what Quan Juncai wanted to express.
“The mission of the demon clan is to protect nature. Naturally, we cannot go against the will of nature, not even the demon king.” Quan Juncai said sincerely, “So this time, I am afraid that I cannot agree to your request, Master Mi. Please understand.”
Mi Wan subconsciously looked at Fan Chen. Fan Chen met Mi Wan’s gaze, with a flash of guilt in his eyes, but he still told Mi Wan his decision: “Wan Wan, I can’t promise you to let the old Xuan Turtle purify the virus.”
Fan Chen saw the shock and disappointment in Mi Wan’s eyes. He didn’t know whether Mi Wan would be with him after he said what he was going to say next. But as the Demon King, these words must be said: “Old Xuan Turtle’s power was almost used up when he purified the East China Sea last time, so even if he wanted to help humans purify the virus, he could not purify it all at once. Moreover, this time the virus outbreak is nature’s warning to humans as the consequences of humans polluting the environment for a long time. Only after experiencing such a transformation can humans understand the importance of caring for the natural environment. This is what I have been doing.”
“So thirty years ago, when the virus broke out before, you stood by and watched?” Mi Wan asked in disbelief.
Fan Chen opened his mouth but said nothing, which was tantamount to acquiescence.
She didn’t know why, even though she knew in her heart that Fan Chen had no reason to help humans, Mi Wan was still a little disappointed. Probably because she was a human being, and thus there was always a subtle emotional connection.
“Master Mi, when the virus broke out thirty years ago, we were the one who found the pathogen and gave it to the Demon Hunters Association. And this matter has nothing to do with our demon clan from beginning to end, and this virus is not from our demon clan. We, the demon clan, have no obligation to help if they cause it.” Quan Juncai couldn’t see his master being misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
“According to your theory, it is your demon tribe’s business that you have been poisoned by demon poison. If I don’t save you, what will happen to your demon tribe?” Mi Wan asked.
In an instant, humans and demons were in completely different positions, and they were in clear opposition.
This was probably the first time they had quarreled, after all they had confirmed their relationship less than a month ago and had only had two dates in total.
T/N: Isn’t this scarily similar to the Covid virus???? And I didn’t like MW in this chapter////
