Chapter 365: The Victims
Unfortunately, Mo Fan and Tang Yue were trapped in White Town.
Not long after they entered the city, White Town opened a total lockdown, not allowing anyone to leave this particular town, preventing the spread of the virus by lurking plague people.
Mo Fan and Tang Yue's situation suddenly became awkward, they originally planned to settle in Baizhen, and then immediately take the Ferris Snake to Baishan.
Regardless of whether the Ferris snake is the plague or not, this snake cannot stay in the town, and sending it away is the most appropriate option.
Who knew that the town was sealed, there was an enchantment outside, and anyone who left without permission would be discovered, which made Mo Fan and Tang Yue completely fall into melancholy.
"No, we have to break through, if your god is a plague god, it will only make the plague worse if it continues to stay here!" Tang Yue said decisively.
"Well, we'll do it after nightfall. But this will most likely alarm the military mages in the town and expose us. Mo Fan nodded.
"It's okay, the big guy can sense the location of those palace guards and judges, they can't catch up with us anyway. Tang Yue said.
......
At night, Mo Fan and Tang Yue acted directly.
The town has a protective wall, and the protective wall also has an enchantment, and any fluctuation in the enchantment will be immediately detected by the patrolling mages.
Mo Fan didn't care so much, and summoned the Rapid Star Wolf and let it carry himself and Tang Yue to break through the enchantment.
The moon and stars are scarce, and there are basically few people walking outside in the entire Baizhen, and everyone is so frightened by the plague that they dare not go out, but Hangzhou City was still calm during the day. In the evening, hundreds of plague people broke out at once, and the news spread quickly. People panicked.
The plague spread much faster than expected, and many pharmacists were dumbfounded. They had never seen such a menacing plague, the magic of the healing system had no effect on it, and the anti-disease prescriptions of the past would even speed up the invasion of this plague in the human body!
Most plagues have an incubation process, followed by the onset of the disease, which will slowly worsen and spread, and finally a large-scale human death.
But this plague has no signs of latent at all, and it is said that the disease will occur.
Most plagues that spread quickly worsen slowly, giving people enough time to find antibodies. Not to mention the rapid spread of the plague, the rate of deterioration is quite alarming, and the patient a week ago is now covered with dense blisters, the blisters are blue, and they look terrible, and if they are not treated, they may not see the sun tomorrow.
......
Just an hour after Mo Fan and Tang Yue fled from White Town with the Ferris Snake, which was likely to be the source of the plague, the first three people infected with the plague died in their hospital beds.
This incident caused a sensation in the medical world, and for a while, many experts gathered at the Magic Association Hospital, and these people gathered in a circle. Everyone wore protective masks and looked at the badly corroded corpse on the hospital bed with a look of astonishment.
After the blisters on the bodies of the three corpses burst, their bodies were corroded like crazy, and they looked like they were just sick during the day. In this night, it was unrecognizable!
"Mr. Lu, what do you think?" asked Zhu Meng in a calm voice.
Mr. Deer waved his hand. Signaling the nurses to cover up the corpse, even Taishan Beidou in the medical world like him couldn't bear it when he saw this picture.
"This plague is the most terrible I've seen in more than a decade. We've already calculated. From the infection, the onset of the disease to the appearance of this, it took a total of seven days. Seven days...... This is too short of time for us!" Mr. Lu represents the pharmacists. He is also a top mage in the healing department, and he can only describe this plague in two words: shock!
"Presiding Judge, I think you should know that the number of infected people has exceeded 1,000 by now, right?" Zhu Meng glanced at Presiding Judge Tang Zhong.
"I know. Tang Zhong nodded.
"Seeing these three corpses, do you still think that I wish Meng a joke on his life and design to frame your god?" Zhu Meng pointed to the three corpses covered by a white cloth and said with a little indignation, "I Zhu Meng don't care to use such a ridiculous method at all. If you still feel that your gods are innocent, then what explanation should these corpses have!!"
Presiding Judge Tang Zhong remained silent.
This result was also very difficult for Tang Zhong to accept, at first he and the clan thought that the two corpses that were found a week later were the work of Zhu Meng, but when he found that the death of the person who died of the plague was the same as the original two corpses, he himself was shocked!
It's not Zhu Menggan......
Is it really a totem snake??
The totem snake in the molting period has become so manic that it can't control its evil nature??
The reports have been overwhelming, and all major news media have focused on Hangzhou. In addition, the two corpses killed by the totem snake have exactly the same symptoms as the people who died of illness, once the news spreads, the panicked city of Hangzhou will definitely set off a crusade against the totem snake!
At that time, no matter whether their totem guardians announced the matter of the totem snake or not, the totem snake would completely become a disaster, and if the government did not eradicate it and the trial would not eradicate it, the people would give huge pressure to the major forces to force them to eradicate the totem snake.
"The totem snake has inhabited the West Lake for an unknown number of years, and there has never been such a plague before...... I think I'll have to look into it. Tang Zhong said seriously.
"Tang Zhong!!" Zhu Meng scolded angrily, the beard on his face trembled a little, he pointed at the presiding judge Tang Zhong and roared angrily, "Until now, you are still protecting that totem snake, have you figured out the current situation." The number of infected people has reached 1,324, and in a week, all these 1,324 people will turn into corpses like this, do you, as the presiding judge, really want to stick to the ridiculous ancestral teachings and watch these people die!"
"Maybe it seems to inhabit our city now, in fact, the totem snake existed many centuries before us humans, and our ancestors sought the protection of the totem snake to survive in the territory ruled by the cruel demons to this day, and build a city here to live and work in peace. History does not record such a period, but we have remembered it for generations. This plague, I also understand that the totem snake is the most suspicious, but please allow me a little time, I will ask Tang Yue to bring back some body fluids of the totem snake when it molted to you, if you can extract antibodies from it, you can also avoid the spread of this plague. But no matter what, I still ask you to wish Congressman Meng not to kill them all!" Tang Zhong said. (To be continued......)
