"I’m fine."

Lv Bai got off the hospital bed and stretched: "By the way, where are those criminals? I’d like to take a look."

Minister Zhang briefly recounted the events that occurred while Lv Bai was unconscious, mentioning the Death Fighters.

"Of course, uh, now?"

Minister Zhang paused for a moment.

They didn’t understand why civilians would cause such terror and attacks. Before figuring it out, they naturally wouldn’t hastily execute those heinous Death Fighters.

So apart from a few unlucky ones shot dead on the spot, the vast majority of Death Fighters were held by the action department personnel.

It’s not that these Death Fighters were too weak.

It’s mainly because those in the action department were mostly elite troops, thrown randomly into any special forces without issue.

These personnel may struggle against the supernatural, but they can handle some Death Fighters without abilities.

Even though the Death Fighters were well-trained, they were outnumbered and couldn’t make much of an impact.

The main issue was that the crowded population at the time resulted in many civilians being affected.

"Yes, now, take me to see them." Lv Bai nodded.

Minister Zhang hesitated: "What about your injuries?"

"It’s nothing."

Having come this far, countering would be impolite.

Minister Zhang had no choice but to agree.

The room was full of senior officials from the action department who had just entered, but without settling, they left the ward again.

...

In fact, Lv Bai had been unconscious for less than a day.

Amidst the chaos caused by the Plague Doctor, the evacuation of Keshan City’s residents was still being orderly conducted.

It was evident that with a population of over a million, you couldn’t just shove them all into the neighboring city without issues arising.

So the action department had prepared various contingency plans for the evacuation.

Now, the Ke Mountain Military District had been converted into a reception center.

The management system of the reception center was similar to emergency management during natural disasters.

Thanks to prior preparations, vehicles transporting various supplies arrived very promptly.

Buses full of residents continued entering outside the military district, and the getting off residents were arranged by staff to live in the tent clusters at the Keshan Reception Center.

Residents registered their information, received emergency supplies...

Everything was so well-organized.

Lv Bai stood in the corridor of the military hospital for a while.

Noticing Lv Bai’s gaze, Minister Zhang clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Master Lv, it’s all thanks to you."

The bald director of the Lv Bao Bureau concurred: "Yes, if it weren’t for Master Lv’s selfless actions, scarcely anyone would have survived last night..."

With the entourage of these high-ranking officials from the action department, Lv Bai arrived at the criminal ward on the top floor of the military hospital.

Indeed, the Death Fighters caught last night were all confined in the criminal ward.

The ward’s windows and doors were reinforced with iron bars to prevent escape.

Peering through the gaps in the iron bars along the way, these Death Fighters appeared quite battered.

There was a girl with a bow hairpin, Yapi, and Swift Horse...

Swift Horse, in particular, had sustained significant external injuries, temporarily treated by medical staff, and now hung with an IV drip.

There was no choice; even without abilities, Death Fighters could be incredibly dangerous professional criminals.

It wouldn’t be easy to subdue them without first injuring them.

Minister Zhang observed Lv Bai’s demeanor, but Lv Bai’s pleasant smile gave away nothing of his thoughts.

Minister Zhang had to cautiously inquire: "Master Lv, do you think... these people are...?"

From Lv Bai’s perspective, bright artistic words hovered above the heads of these captured criminals, clearly marking them as Death Fighters.

He was even a bit surprised that the action department had managed to capture so many alive.

"That’s right."

Lv Bai nodded seriously: "They all carry eerie Yin Qi, seemingly under some sinister influence and could become violent suddenly."

Minister Zhang immediately wore a look of realization.

He couldn’t help but ask: "Do you have a way to remove the Yin Qi from them? I’ve seen their profiles, and they were all ordinary citizens before."

"If I’d woken up earlier, there might have been a chance. Now it’s too late."

Lv Bai displayed a look of sorrow.

After a symbolic moment of mourning, he unexpectedly spoke: "I’ll handle it. The Yin Qi these civilians carry might infect others." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

"It seems that’s all we can do."

Minister Zhang glanced back at the action department seniors behind him, then sighed heavily: "Master Lv, please don’t burden yourself. If you can’t do it, I can arrange someone else to handle this."

Lv Bai took a gun from Captain Mao, saying, "This is my duty."

All the action department seniors present stood solemnly.

Minister Zhang straightened his posture and saluted Lv Bai: "Master Lv, on behalf of the people of the nation, thank you for your selfless help."

...

Bam! Bam! Bam!

A series of gunshots echoed from the top floor of the military hospital.

[Ding!]

[Points +16, Current Points: 16, Current Ranking 1/138]

The mechanical voice in Lv Bai’s head assured that none of the captured Death Fighters survived.

Looking at the rankings, the number of deceased Death Fighters was nearing one hundred.

Perhaps due to the unpredictability of this round’s Death Arena, even those hiding couldn’t escape unfortunate deaths by the supernatural.

This was why the Death Fighter’s death rate was so high before Lv Bai even began his hunt.

The onlookers were experienced and wouldn’t feel discomfort from such bloody scenes.

Minister Zhang waved a hand, signaling for someone to deal quickly with the bodies in the criminal ward.

Lv Bai returned the gun to Captain Mao, turned to the corridor, and gazed at the seemingly endless tent clusters spreading out from the parade ground below.

He leaned on the corridor railing, looking somewhat grave: "It seems there are still some civilians not yet exposed that are tainted with this Yin Qi."

"Really?!"

Minister Zhang’s expression tightened.

The Death Fighters’ riot last night caused significant casualties, leaving many civilians still traumatized.

Another occurrence would be a major problem.

"Don’t worry, I’m here."

Lv Bai switched to a tone of Compassion: "I will find and offer solace to these poor civilians."
