Chapter 461: The Plague of the North

Feeling that the things in front of him were changing, and the scenery had changed greatly, Zheng Fang hurriedly collected the spiritual power, he looked around, and the first feeling was whether he had crossed the wrong realm, after all, the spiritual power content in the air was very different from the human world in his impression, although the spiritual power content here was not as abundant as he felt at the boundary gate back then, but it was barely able to cultivate.

Around him are endless lush trees, these trees have few branches, the bark is black, a main trunk is stunned and sticks into the sky, looking from the forest, like countless sharp swords rising into the sky, the sky is gloomy, somewhat similar to the spirit world, but Zheng Fang can be determined by intuition that this is definitely not the spirit world.

He stood in place, his spiritual power spread out like a tide, as the power of the Heavenly Realm, his spiritual power spread out, enough to cover a radius of dozens of kilometers, after a while, Zheng Fang's face relaxed, his spiritual power detected a gas station, although he didn't see people, but it was already certain that this was the human world.

Could it be that this is Beiju Luzhou, which he has never been to? Zheng Fang secretly speculated in his heart, and then, his brows furrowed, and his figure flickered in the forest, and then disappeared without a trace.

When he reappeared, Zheng Fang had already appeared in the center of a small town, there were no high-rise buildings in the town, most of them were bungalows and two-story buildings, a tall chimney for heating stood abruptly at the north end of the town, Zheng Fang was supposed to be in the south of the town, here is a crossroads, the road is straight, and there are shops and large shopping malls on both sides, which should be the prosperous area of the town.

However, as if everything was still, there was no one in the town, the shops and shopping malls were closed, and with the words on the huge billboard outside the mall, Zheng Fang was sure that it was the land of Beiju Luzhou under his feet.

Glancing at the seemingly abandoned town, Zheng Fang walked slowly south along the main road in the center of the town, and after walking a short distance on the clean street, he could see a small black object lying there, Zheng Fang knew that it was a dead bird.

In a street square not far away, dead birds covered the ground around the square fountain that no longer sprayed water, mainly pigeons, but there were also many crows and wild birds, Zheng Fang walked through the street square, continued to move forward, the road was smooth and wide, the street trees on both sides were neat and orderly, if it were not for the occasional dead birds, it would not be possible to see that there was a problem in this town.

A signboard appeared on the side of the road, clearly indicated in white letters on a blue background, and then it would enter the Interprovincial Highway No. 1, and to the west, it would enter the Hospital Avenue of Logging Town, yes, this town is called Logging Town, but Zheng Fang did not hear the noise of the chainsaw.

In front of the road, at the intersection of the road into the Interprovincial Highway No. 1, Zheng Fang finally saw a figure, the center of the road was piled up barricades, two soldiers in grass-green uniforms, wearing gas masks, standing near the barricade with loaded guns.

Without going any further, Zheng Fang turned around and entered the Hospital Avenue of Logging Town, this road was obviously built later, and the two sides of the road were much more desolate, but it also clearly reflected the characteristics of Logging Town, wasteland abounded on both sides of the road, and occasionally there would be a wood processing factory, but the gate was closed at the moment.

It was silent, only the fresh paint on the gate indicated that someone had worked here not so long ago.

Suddenly, Zheng Xiang ran forward two steps, only to see a small dog lying under a street tree, the dog's whole body was ulcerated, and there were hardly a few pieces of good skin in sight, and the ulcers had turned black, and there was a strange stench.

The dog was still alive, and it looked at Zheng Fang with pitiful eyes, and even lost its strength to whimper, and a few strands of dry hair lay on its forehead. It looked at Zheng Fang, then shifted its head with difficulty, and turned its gaze to the front of the road, a hundred meters away, a small car parked on the side of the road, and then on both sides of the road in front of it.

Zheng Fang left the dying puppy and walked to the side of the car, the door was closed, he looked in through the window of the cab, and saw a fat woman sitting in the driver's seat of the car, her entire head and face were festering, and only a few strands of her long hair were left behind her head. The festering area was pitch black, and her stunned eyes widened on her face where muscles could already be seen.

Further on, the cars were lined up in a neat line up until they reached the front of a hospital. There were dead people on every cart, some were one, some were two, and some were a family.

Each dead man was like the puppy, his whole body festering, and his expression before death was full of horror and disbelief. In front of the hospital, Zheng Fang saw two more moving figures, which were two big men wearing protective suits, who were using iron hooks to open the car doors one by one, dragging the deceased out of the car, and then hastily collecting the burial with body bags.

The hospital looks like a service area on a highway, with neon lights still lit above the gates.

"Lumber Town Hospital" flashes of big characters in Beiju Luzhou indicate that despite the town's death, the hospital is still taking its last breather. Cars were parked in front of the hospital, and body bags containing dead people were piled up in the gaps between them, and after cleaning a car, two strong men began to carry the bodies towards the hospital.

When the strong man carrying the dead man's head saw Zheng Fang, the body bag slipped from his hand and fell to the ground, and he stood there staring blankly at Zheng Fang, who could see the guy's surprised eyes through the goggles.

"I advise you to wear protective clothing, although I don't know if it will work until now, but it is better to wear it than not to wear it. The director of the hospital could no longer see any of the characteristics of Beiju Luzhou, although he was burly, his whole body was wrapped in a thick protective suit, and the protective suit was almost bursting, he took out a piece of paper and wrote this sentence on the paper and handed it to Zheng Fang.

"I don't need to!" Zheng Fang shook his head, making sure his voice could reach his hazmat suit. "What the hell is going on here?"

"The unknown virus, suddenly spread, it can't be controlled at all, we are all new here, and all the original people in this hospital are dead. The dean wrote down the answer to Zheng Fang's question on a piece of paper, thought about it, and continued to write. "The permafrost here has suddenly melted away, and we estimate that it is an ancient virus frozen in the permafrost, but there is no evidence yet. ”

"Find a place to hide, if you are seen by the military, you will be quarantined permanently, and we will leave soon after we have disposed of the body and brought back the virus sample. The dean then wrote, and he made Zheng Fang look like a soldier shooting a gun, signaling Zheng Fang to pay attention.

"Is it common for situations like this to occur?" Zheng Fang shook his head and then asked.

The dean nodded repeatedly, he thought for a moment, picked up the pen and wrote on the paper again.

"The virus has spread to the cities, the mortality rate is high, and it's much safer for you to hide here than to go to the city. "It was written on paper.

Zheng Fang nodded, turned around and came to the back of the hospital, where a big pit was dug in the wasteland, two strong men stacked the corpses in the pit, piled up a layer, and then sprinkled a layer of lime-like things on it, seeing Zheng Fang come out, a big man gave Zheng Fang a thumbs up, and then they were surprised to find that Zheng Fang's figure disappeared when he shook it.

Two big men, you look at me, I look at you, both have a kind of fear like seeing a ghost, and then look at the corpses stacked around them, one of the big men slipped and fell to the ground.

The city of Kosi, the capital of the Ice Nation, has entered a state of full martial law, and as the Wizards Association of the Northern Club Luzhou, it has undertaken a lot of so-called direct contact clean-up work. Magicians will not be infected by the virus, so it has become their main task to search for people infected by the virus, the so-called direct contact cleanup, direct contact is to capture the infected, as for the cleanup, it can only be tacitly understood.

It's been a month of continuous work, and the intensity can't be considered high, but even the great magician Duke is already a little exhausted, after all, in his life, it has almost never happened to him like this, and although he is acting on orders, it still causes great pressure on his psychology, not to mention, he still has to do the psychological work of those subordinates.

"Mommy!Mom!" a little girl suddenly got out of the corner of the street and rushed towards the bus transporting the patient, Duke glared fiercely at the two mid-level magicians who were in charge of patrolling the street, as long as they saw a child, they would always be blinded by emotion, there was the girl's mother in the car, and the girl was most likely a carrier of the virus.

Letting her go may cause huge casualties and irreparable consequences, he has said it many times, but these two guys still take his words as a deaf ear, if it wasn't for the girl who took the initiative to jump out, it was really possible to make a big mistake.

Duke jumped forward and pressed the girl's shoulder with one hand, the girl's body temperature was normal, but it was still not to be underestimated. Seeing that the bus where the girl's mother was had left, he pushed the girl towards the two magicians who were deliberately looking into the distance.

"Give me a good look at her and take her to quarantine with the next car. As he spoke, Duke's mental power that had been spreading out suddenly found two red dots, and the first thing the virus infected person showed was a high fever, and Duke's expression suddenly became nervous.

"To the east, to the east, in the alley on the side of General Khazar Boulevard, there are two infected people. With his shout, several searching magicians hurried eastward.

"Don't cry, it's not bad to go to quarantine, it doesn't cost money to eat and drink, and someone gives toys, you will definitely see your mother. A mid-level magician lowered his head and touched the head of the girl who was still crying and whispered comfort.

"I heard that the quarantine service team is all on strike, where is there anything to eat? Besides, his mother is an infected person, so she can't enter the quarantine area, and I don't know which hospital to take her. Another mid-rank magician said gloomily.

The girl, who had been comforted a little more settled, began to cry again, and the two middle-level magicians looked at each other helplessly, the wind was blowing through the street, and some scraps of paper were blown up and fell not far away, except for the sound of sirens in the distance, there was no trace of people on the street, and the two magicians shrank their shoulders as if they were a little afraid of the cold.
