After lunch, Lin Xiu and Li Yanzheng were practicing against each other.

Bert knocked on the door and walked in: "My lord, an outsider wants to see you." ”

"Outsiders?" Crossing into this world, the outsider who took the initiative to ask him to meet was the first time he had met, and Lin Xiu became somewhat interested in the outsider he hadn't seen: "Come when I change my clothes." ”

When Lin Xiu changed his clothes and came to the living room, an old man wearing gray linen clothes, covering his face, and in a very poor mental state was sitting on the edge of the chair nervously, with two bloodshot eyes revealing panic.

"I heard you're looking for me?" Lin Xiu sat down opposite the old man.

The old man seemed to be very afraid of Lin Xiu, he buried his head and said, "My lord, I want to settle here, cough." ”

"Settle down?" Someone finally chose to settle in Hammond, this is a good start, Lin Xiu spread his hands and made a very divine expression: "Hammond welcomes anyone to come and settle down. ”

"But, ahem. The old man hurriedly gagged his mouth with his hand.

His heart was hesitant, although he had already made up his mind to find a quiet place to wait for death alone, but Hammond's vitality caused a ripple in his dead heart.

If given the choice, who would want to die in the wilderness, their bones gnawed by wild beasts.

"To put it bluntly, in my village, all people are equal. Lin Xiu showed a benevolent smile and got closer to the image of the divine stick.

"I'm afraid I won't live long, ahem. The old man finally made up his mind to express the bitterness buried in his heart: "Five days ago, ahem, ahem, I received a traveler who wandered to the fortress of the north wind, that man was very sick, ahem, his body temperature was very high, ahem, I did my best to save him, but he died in the end. Ahem, after the man died, I thought it was over. But until the day before yesterday, ahem, ahem. ”

The old man got up, slowly retreated and distanced himself from Lin Xiu, and then lowered the broken bulb that covered his face, raised his head, and saw that the old man's face was black, he coughed twice, and there was a pool of black blood on his hands.

Lin Xiu, who was unprepared, was taken aback.

The old man hurriedly lifted up the broken bulge, covered his frightening face, and said hurriedly: "I know that my disease is contagious, but I still want to ask the adults to let me stay in the village, cough cough, don't worry, my lord, I will definitely go to a corner where no one is around, and wait for death alone, cough cough cough." ”

As he spoke, the old man's bloodshot eyes burst into tears: "My eldest daughter and second daughter are married, ahem, their lives are not easy, my youngest son said that he would sell the house for me to treat his illness, cough, but what should they do if the house is sold? My little grandson is only 2 years old! cough cough, if there is no house, do you want them to sleep on the streets? I ran to the blue forest alone, cough, I just wanted to die in it, but at the last moment I retreated, cough cough. ”

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid of dying alone, I'm afraid of being devoured by wild beasts after I die. ”

"My beg, my lord, just let me stay here and let me do whatever I want, ahem. ”

Lin Xiu, who had calmed down, didn't hear what the old man was saying, his attention was on those little white dots, how could this virus that was supposed to be extinct exist in this world!

"Bert," Lin Xiu shouted.

Bert, dressed in a tuxedo, walked in from outside the room.

Sure enough, these noble grandfathers are all virtuous, and the old man looked at Bert who came over and wanted to resist, but he fainted in anger.

"This person should be infected with the Black Death, and immediately send him to the treatment center, and find out who this old man came into contact with when he came to the village, and all the villagers who came into contact with him should be sent to the treatment center. "The Black Death was a contagious and deadly disease, and if this matter is not dealt with, the entire village may be wiped out.

"Yes, sir. Bert carried the old man out of the room.

Lin Xiu opened the window of the conference hall before following Bert to the treatment center.

Aya checked the old man's condition, turned to Lin Xiu and said, "At present, our treatment center does not have the conditions for isolation and treatment, and if you want to cure the plague on this old man, you must first upgrade the treatment center. ”

"Upgrade?"

"The village is now level 3, and the conditions for upgrading should have been opened. Aya said.

Lin Xiu clicked on the system, and then clicked on the icon of the treatment center, and sure enough, there was an upgrade button.

Upgrading requires 100,000 energy points, and moving Chris and the old man out of the treatment center, Lin Xiu didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately clicked the OK button.

It took an hour to upgrade the treatment, and it was still raining, Lin Xiu took the old man back to his home to rest temporarily, and took back the Chris who was looking at Aya with affection.

As soon as the time came, Lin Xiu immediately returned with the old man.

After the upgrade, the treatment has two floors, the area has doubled, and the environment of the house has also changed greatly, the walls have been painted with a layer of white paint, and the number of medical staff has increased to 5, but these are not Lin Xiu's concerns.

"How is it? Can it be treated now?" This old man is the only ordinary person who has entered Hammond, if the old man's illness can be cured, it will definitely bring a good publicity effect to Hammond, and more and more villagers will settle in Hammond at that time.

"Yes. Aya instructed a few young nurses wearing masks to carry the patient up to the second floor, and then prepared to follow.

"Wait, what about us? We've all been in contact with this old man, are we also infected with the Black Death. "Lin Xiu was standing next to Bert and Barton, both of whom had been in contact with the old man.

Aya's gaze swept over Lin Xiu and Bert, and finally fell to Barton, who was nervously grasping the corner of his clothes and looking at her nervously, and nodded his head: "He stays, you can go." ”

"He just opened the door, and we have only been in contact with this old man for a longer time, are you misjudged?" Lin Xiu asked.

Aya shook her head: "First of all, you haven't been in contact with this old man for a long time, and secondly, Bert's strength can already kill most of the viruses with his own resistance, and the village chief, you won't be infected with any diseases at all for some special reason." ”

For some particular reason? This should be an allusion to the system, which resides in his body, and in a sense, it is basically impossible for a virus to overturn his system.

"In that case", Lin Xiu thought for a moment and looked at Barton: "Then you can stay and take a look, and by the way, let Aya help you see what is wrong with your body." ”

Barton and his sister both have congenital diseases in their bodies, Barton's performance is weakness, and Xibeier's performance is drowsiness, Lin Xiu asked Barton to come and see it before, but for some reason, Barton has not come.

"That sister..."Barton looked at Lin Xiu with a heavy expression.

"It's okay, I'll ask the female leader to greet her. ”

"Oh well. ”

Seeing Barton slowly leave, Lin Xiu took Bert back to his residence.
