This spring breeze came suddenly, not violently or frequently, it just came in waves, as if consciously, and suddenly blew to you when you felt it was needed.
On the branch of Popcorn Kindergarten, Peng Yan looked at his feathers blown by the spring breeze with an extremely complicated expression.
“Fan Chen, what are you doing?” All the demons thought that the wind at the beginning of spring was nature’s blessing to the demons. However, as the former demon king, Peng Yan clearly knew that in fact, the origin and support of every gust of wind were the original power of the sacred tree.
Jianmu was the first tree that grew on the earth when the world first opened. He was also the first demon on the earth. He was the embodiment of consciousness of the power of nature and was also the patron saint of the demon clan. When Jianmu was there, the demon clan was there. When Jianmu died, the world would become desolate.
Every demon knew the existence of Jianmu since birth, it was a mark engraved deep in their soul. In the demon clan, every demon was grateful for Jianmu’s kindness, but every demon didn’t get to see Jianmu. Jianmu was the consciousness of the force of nature. His power was too great to appear in the world at will. Only when the demon clan was in disaster could Jianmu be awakened, transform into human form, and walk in the world to protect the demon clan.
According to the historical records of demon kings in the past dynasties, Jianmu had only awakened three times since ancient times, and each awakening did not exceed five years. After the crisis was resolved, Jianmu would leave the world and enter deep sleep again. Until five hundred years ago, when he felt something in his heart, and then Jianmu transformed into Fan Chen and came to him. As soon as they met, Fan Chen criticized his actions, saying that he was accelerating the destruction of the demon race by starting a war with the human race.
He was not convinced at the time and tried his best to prove that the world would be better without humans, so he insisted on using magic to kill those annoying humans, but his power was no match for Fan Chen. He was sealed by Fan Chen within one move, and this seal lasted for five hundred years.
Five hundred years was not a long time for the demon clan, but it was very long for the humanoid Jianmu. He originally thought that Fan Chen would have entered deep sleep again when he came out of the seal, but he did not. Not only did Fan Chen not fall into deep sleep again, but he became even weaker. Fan Chen was Jianmu, the embodiment of natural consciousness. What did his weakness mean? It represented the weakness of the natural ecology, and it represented that the crisis of the demon clan had not passed but was becoming more and more dangerous.
Peng Yan wanted to know what he had been doing in the past five hundred years? If they killed all the humans and the demon race would perish, why not kill half of them to give the earth a chance to breathe? Would it be so bad to destroy human civilization and keep human beings in a primitive society where they only ate hair and drank blood?
“Human beings are so good, and you don’t hesitate to lose your own essence? Do you know that if you are too weak, you will fall asleep again. When the time comes, no one can stop me from doing what I want to do.” Looking at the direction of the wind coming, Peng Yan murmured in a low voice.
Even with the blessing of the purifying wind, the harm of the virus had weakened, but the infection still continued. After the first incubation period, a large number of patients appeared, and a large number of people who thought they just had colds and fevers were diagnosed as infected with the virus.
The hospital’s medical resources could not support such a huge number of patients. In addition, due to the need for isolation, patients could not move around casually. People were panicked for a while, and the world that should have been bustling and prosperous in late spring and early summer became extremely depressed. And many people who thought it had nothing to do with them gradually discovered that their classmates, colleagues, friends, and even next-door neighbors had quietly turned into potential infected persons without knowing when.
Some people were very optimistic. They felt that as long as they stayed at home and did not leave the house, the virus would not be able to reach them. They just needed to hide like this until this wave of infectious disease passed, and then the world would return to normal. But they seemed to have forgotten that humans were social animals. Even if you could stay at home alone, you still needed food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if you ordered takeout, were you sure that the person who delivered the takeout to you would not be infected? Would you want to stay at home all the time? Were you sure that the water, electricity and gas at home would not be broken, and you did not need to find someone to repair it?
Some people would say that it would only take a few months at most. In a few months, experts would definitely find a vaccine and cure the virus. But you are not experts, why are you so sure? Was it because of the propaganda on TV, the statements of relevant experts, or the past combat experience of mankind?
At this time, the more people knew the inside story, the more scared they were. Even the demon hunters who were not infected by the virus were still afraid. Although they had spiritual protection and would not be infected by the virus, their family members and friends were all ordinary people, and there were even many demon hunters who had infected people in their families. When most patients had hope in doctors, only they knew that humans had not even found the pathogen.
“President, can you communicate with the demon clan and ask them to help find the pathogen. The demon clan is close to nature, so it will be much easier for them to find it.” They mainly wanted to give advice to the president.
“The demon tribe has always hated humans for destroying nature. Now that the virus is caused by pollution, they may not help easily.” Yi Xun replied.
“We know that although humans have made mistakes, pollution has already occurred. We can’t watch so many people die in vain.”
“That is, even if we want to change it, we must save the people first.”
“Yes, yes, the traffic outside is almost paralyzed now, people can’t live normally at all, and even if they want to go out and buy tofu bread, they can’t find a vendor.”
“If the demon clan doesn’t do anything at this time, it would be too inhumane.”
In everyone’s values, life and death were important matters. When a person was about to die, if you could save him, you must save him. If you don’t save him, you are wrong, you are cold-blooded, and you are inhumane. But why should I save it? Because I can save it? Because if I don’t save him, I will be rejected by the world and labeled as cold-blooded. So no matter how much I hate this person, I must save him?
What’s more, this was not just one person, this was thousands of people.
This was human nature.
When this happened to everyone, how many people would justly say to the person who can save you: It doesn’t matter, don’t save me, I deserve to die.
Under this huge moral kidnapping, no matter how much goodwill there was, it became a responsibility. Like the medical staff who were struggling on the front line, they were actually just like ordinary people, they were just human beings. Just because they had the ability to treat, they were placed on the front line of infection, with almost no reason to retreat.
Everyone knew in their hearts that medical staff also had the same right to stay at home and isolate themselves, but they couldn’t, because if they didn’t do anything, the world would be over. Therefore, people could only call themselves heroes, but how many people were willing to be heroes?
