Chapter 2, Exorcism Potions

Within the territory of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, foot-and-mouth disease continues to spread... A total of three prefectures and twenty-five counties have reported the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease to the Federal Empire's Department of Animal Husbandry and Agricultural Affairs...

The bag of salt envelops spiritual energy, accurately striking the monster that is diving down at high speed

Ling Ping'an looked at them with a hint of envy; if possible, he too hoped to continue carrying a backpack to school like they did

Yesterday there was no update again He sighed and said In the future, we cannot play multiplayer sports like this anymore

The spider web spreads wantonly in the stairwell

Before me lies a dilapidated street

This is a street before a major catastrophe

Writing online novels is a hobby

... ...

... ...

The faces of the workers and sailors are all filled with confusion

Han Li held the flashlight in his hand

Let's play a game first before writing! He said: "Anyway, it's already a failure!"

The stench of decay fills the mouth and nose

Alright! Aunt Cai immediately got busy, placing two steaming baskets of dumplings into a paper bowl, and then took out a porcelain bowl, filling it to the brim with snow-white tofu pudding, sprinkling two spoonfuls of white sugar on top

"Aunt Cai, please bring me two baskets and a bowl of sweet tofu pudding!" Ling Ping'an smiled as he took out his phone to scan the payment code

The cables, long abandoned and no longer maintained, are now covered in moss

Thump thump thump

In the background, the soft voice of the news anchor was heard: "According to the Ministry of Public Health and Epidemic Prevention of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, as reported at noon local time, the foot-and-mouth disease outbreak within the Northern Zhou territory has resulted in over 1.7 million beef cattle being infected, with potential economic losses reaching up to 300 billion Huayuan. The federal government has urgently allocated 50 billion Huayuan to assist the Northern Zhou Kingdom in controlling the outbreak"

We hope that the federal center and the kingdom's epidemic prevention department will promptly formulate measures and policies to halt the further spread of the epidemic, said a rancher with a worried expression in front of the camera

In front of him, an old television is broadcasting today's news

Our family has been herding here for one hundred years, and this is the first time we have encountered an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease on such a scale... In the voiceover, the federal epidemic prevention department is in the process of disposing of thousands of livestock in a harmless manner

Han Li stepped forward, picked up the heart, and then stuffed it into a bag filled with salt.

Jiangcheng City Huamao Supermarket Gift

On the ground, there are still the ashes of the monsters she had slain not long ago

Playing video games is a hobby

Han Li turned around and looked at the streets and alleys behind him

One person is going upstairs, one person is going downstairs, one person is conducting business, one person is having a meal, and one person is sleeping

Daylight has arrived

But now, the building is dilapidated and decayed

Walking to the breakfast shop next to https://www.hetushu.com, Ling Ping'an asked the owner, "Aunt Cai, are the steamed dumplings ready?"

After a brief wash-up, he descended the stairs

But he is merely speaking without any intention to act

Arrived in the sunlight

The thick fog, I do not know when, has quietly dissipated

Upon seeing this, Ling Ping'an could not help but sigh: "It seems that the price of beef is going to rise"

It has now been abandoned

Han Li raised his head and looked towards the exit of the staircase, which was covered with thick branches and straw, serving as a nest for hundreds of decaying corpses

The screen shifts towards the sky

Ling Pingan sat at the counter, enjoying steamed dumplings and drinking tofu pudding

The Northern Zhou and Southern Zhou supply over seventy percent of the beef and pork consumed in the Federal Empire's mainland, while also providing more than sixty percent of the seafood and over half of the grains for the Federal mainland

These two kingdoms are the granary and pasture of the Federal Empire

She took out a lighter and ignited the nest

As the pages of the book are turned, forbidden knowledge rushes forth.

Vessels that were originally supposed to be fully loaded with various types of meat are now docked in the port

Then, he turned off the light, opened his phone, and walked upstairs using the light from his phone

"It's the third one!" she said

She lowered her head, gazing at the crimson book in her hands that continued to heat up incessantly

She expressionlessly untied a pocket that she was carrying on her back

However, Ling Ping'an had long since become accustomed to it

Under the illumination of the electric light, she stepped out of the thick fog, one step at a time

Bang

... ...

A helicopter emblazoned with the emblems of the Federal Empire and the Northern Zhou Kingdom is hovering, spraying various potions

The ashes held in hand were placed into a small glass bottle and kept away

By crushing the heart of a harpy with the body of an eagle, mixing it with the ashes of a gargoyle, adding one liter of holy water, and twelve grams of necromancer's grass, and then simmering it in a copper pot, one can obtain a potion capable of stripping the powers of spirits ranked below the mid-level—this is the exorcism potion

Aunt Cai is a woman in her forties, slightly plump, who moved next to the Ling Ping An family two years ago and rented this small breakfast shop

Aunt Cai's steamed dumplings are never tiresome to eat, and when paired with the sweet and fragrant tofu pudding, they are truly exceptional

A bag of salt, vaporized using spiritual energy

What a pity

Han Li held the book and flashlight in his hands

Returning to the store, Ling Ping'an closed the door again, took out the key, and locked it.

The former landmark buildings of Donglin City

The thick fog outside the door has long since dissipated

The thick dark circles under his eyes made him appear very haggard

Several students dressed in school uniforms walked past him

The news footage depicts picturesque scenes of the Northern Zhou Kingdom, with ranches and farms scattered like stars across the vast continental plains

Thus, she learned the name of the demon she had slain—the gargoyle

A package of pure white salt was revealed

Its sturdy flesh gradually peels away in the salty air

A full five hundred grams of salt instantly vaporized

Then walk to the door and pull up the rolling shutter.

The bustling street appeared before me

Han Li's pupils suddenly dilated

Thus, she reached out to touch the book that was still warm, hidden beneath her tight-fitting combat suit

But now she knows

In the past, Han Li, like others, had no idea how to deal with the ashes left behind by these ghosts and monsters

She had never imagined before that a harpy could be so easily slain

One can have both fish and bear's paw

A B-level monster was thus easily killed

The monster let out a mournful howl, its wing membranes visibly corroded by the salt.

Only a single vibrant red heart continues to beat tenaciously

Any signs of disturbance over there will inevitably lead to soaring prices in the federal territory

The live broadcast camera shifts towards the port outside the capital of the Northern Zhou dynasty

... ...

At its peak, tens of thousands of people worked here

Jingtai Building

Pushing open the slightly ajar door, she changed into her slippers, turned on the light, and took a chilled drink from the refrigerator. After opening it and taking a delightful sip, she collapsed onto the sofa

The harpy! Han Li knew where such a monster had appeared before

Roaring! A monster with a body resembling that of a woman, its head adorned with membranous wings akin to those of a bat, and skin of a bluish-green hue, opened its mouth full of sharp teeth and swooped down with a roar

"Monsters are nothing more than this!" she said, and then she stepped up the stairs, reaching the top floor of the building. With a cold gaze, she looked at the few fledgling harpies curled up between the branches and straw, as well as the severed limbs and entrails scattered around these fledglings.

All the bones and internal organs were scattered all over the ground

There is no city in the world called Jiang City

She stepped forward and expressionlessly picked up the ashes

Han Li did not even glance, grabbed a bag of salt, infused it with spiritual energy, and forcefully threw it at the monster.

Han Li walked in and saw only collapsed houses, plaques scattered on the streets, and abandoned vehicles that had rusted and were parked by the roadside

Ultimately, it fell down

At the same time, the Ministry of Livestock and Agricultural Affairs of the Federal Empire has applied to the central government for a loan totaling 200 billion Huayuan to assist and support the livestock industry of the Northern Zhou Kingdom in overcoming the crisis

She picked up the flashlight and held it up to her eyes; it was an industrial product with a red exterior and exquisite craftsmanship

A plaque appeared before me

The wooden stairs creaked, producing a somewhat eerie sound

Her steamed dumplings are a famous breakfast in the vicinity

Ling Ping'an walked to the bathroom mirror and looked at his own complexion
