Xinzhou Chengshan Town, which is a large town about 50 miles away from Yinma County, has convenient transportation. In the past, it was extremely prosperous, with nearly 10,000 people living in the town, and there were hundreds of shops on the streets of the town, which was one of the few prosperous places in New State.

But now, all that remains is ruins and dead bodies. In the town of Nuoda, there are no other living creatures to be seen except for groups of wild dogs! These dogs, probably because they have eaten too many dead people, have raised themselves fat and strong, and oil can flow out of their pores. His eyes were also blood-red because he had eaten the dead, and from time to time he emitted a fierce light.

A black wild dog with a man's arm in his mouth ran out of town, and as soon as he ran out of town, an arrow was shot at his head.

The arrow was so fierce and so fast that before the wild dog could react, it was shot in the head, and only a few howls on the ground were killed.

"Dog thing!" A tall knight put away his bow and arrows, and cursed in a muffled voice.

The man's face was covered with a thick bandage, the bandage was soaked yellow with medicinal wine, and the sweat on his face continued to flow onto the bandage, and it looked dirty mixed with the mud and sand.

Behind the knight, there were five hundred soldiers dressed like him, a thousand young men with bandages on their faces, dressed in white, and fifteen hundred carts pulling a lot of things.

They are Xu Shijun and his party, and that knight is Xu Shijun himself.

They have been out for ten days, and there are more than a dozen teams like theirs in the whole of New State, 500 soldiers, 1,000 young and strong, and 50 half-way monks. Under the leadership of one or two real langzhong, they attacked from all sides and made every effort to save the people of NSW.

"Hehe, General Xu, why bother with a beast!" On a carriage behind Xu Shijun, an old man with a medicine box jumped down, it was Song Jimin.

"It's been ten days since I came out, and I haven't seen a person alive, so I feel angry, and Song Lao is smiling." Because of the bandages, Xu Shijun's voice sounded muffled.

Song Jimin was silent, the establishment was good, ten days after coming out, passing through two county towns and dozens of villages, except for dead bodies everywhere and packs of wild dogs, not a single living person was seen. The result of their ten days was to collect tens of thousands of corpses, slaughter countless wild dogs, completely clean up the two county seats, and burn all the villages they passed, but not a single person was saved. This made everyone very depressed, and the morale couldn't be lower.

"General, don't worry, the place we have been going to in the past few days is the area where Wang Gan and them are most active, and the plague is naturally more serious. If you go south, maybe the situation will be better. I think this town is quite large, and it is far enough away from Yuma County, and there may be a lot of people alive. Song Jimin said with relief.

Xu Shijun nodded, and accepted Song Jimin's statement. "Everyone set up camp on the spot, drink the decoction, change the bandages, and enter the town in an hour!" Xu Shijun ordered loudly.

After receiving the order, the soldiers and young men got busy with their work.

In fact, these soldiers and young men were reluctant to come out at the beginning, and the ordinary soldiers and civilians of Yinma County didn't know what was going on outside the city

, but it was precisely because they didn't know that their fears were even heavier. The streets and alleys are full of legends about what kind of purgatory on earth is outside, and Yuma County is peaceful and tranquil, who wants to go out at this time?

However, after Xu Shijun cut a few generals and colonels, hundreds of soldiers and young people, no one dared to make a noise. Coupled with Xu Shijun personally taking people out, ordinary soldiers no longer complained.

In the past few days, these 30,000 people have slowly relaxed from their original fears and apprehensions. Xu Shijun made all the preparations, and the medicine and food were very sufficient. It's just that three meals a day of decoction to prevent the plague make everyone miserable. They also had to wear drug-soaked bandages on their faces all day long, and they had to take a shower and change their clothes every day, and the bath water was also soaked in medicine. Everyone feels that they are a big medicine pot, 1,500 people together, that is a big medicine pot, and the smell of medicine on their bodies is floating ten miles in the wind.

People have suffered a little, but the effect is not generally good. Ten days have passed, and of the 1,500 people personally led by Xu Shijun, only more than 30 young men who are really in poor health have died of illness. In such a hard-hit area, this is a very remarkable achievement, and it has not had any impact on the morale of the military.

Han San is an ordinary shopkeeper in the city of Yinma County, running a hall in a restaurant, people are already clever, and they are sent to a lot, and their learning is even more slippery.

When he was drafted, all kinds of cheating and tricks, people cleaned up the body, and he was afraid of getting sick, so he hid. When people hunt and kill animals like wild dogs, he is afraid of being bitten, so he still hides. Later, he was whipped by Xu Shijun and became honest. No, the injury was just right, and he was rushed to work.

"Han San, come here and carry it!" A soldier pointed to a wild dog on the ground and greeted Han Sandao.

"Oops...... Master Jun, here, here! Han San endured the stench of the wild dog and the fear in his heart, walked to the wild dog's side quickly, and picked up the wild dog's hind legs, he didn't dare not be sharp, if he grinded, he would definitely attract a whip.

"Master Jun, where to throw it?" Han San asked the soldier.

Seeing Han San's movements, the soldier nodded with satisfaction, "Well, it looks like a lot of places over there, so let's throw it over there, and we will burn it together when the time comes!" The soldier didn't know where to throw it, so he looked around and saw that there was a lot of open space in the middle of the town, so he pointed and said.

"Gotcha!" Han San agreed, dragging the dead dog over there.

The soldier left him alone, and bent his bow and arrow to shoot at another wild dog that was fleeing.

"Ahh Suddenly, a piercing scream frightened the soldier's hands, but the arrow missed.

The soldier's face changed greatly, and he could hear Han San's voice, "Come on, follow me!" He beckoned to a dozen of his companions and quickly ran in the direction of Han San.

Han San quickly appeared in front of everyone, "Master Jun, live...... Living! Han San's face was incredulous, and there were countless fears in his voice!

The soldier was stunned for a moment, followed by ecstasy, after so long, he finally saw a living person!

"Look at your bear-like look! Isn't it good to see the living? Look at you

, thought it was a ghost? The soldier laughed.

Xu Shijun and Song Jimin rushed to the center of the town in a hurry, and what they saw was dozens of ordinary people kneeling on the ground in rags and rags. It's just that each of them has a red silk wrapped around their foreheads, and a small red lotus flower is messily embroidered on their clothes.

Blood Lotus Cultists?

The smiles on Xu Shijun and Song Jimin's faces froze suddenly, after coming out for so long, the first time they met a living person was actually a Blood Lotus Sect.

The two glanced at each other, and both noticed the bitterness and self-deprecation in each other's eyes. Of course, the two of them hadn't forgotten Qin Forget's attitude towards these Blood Lotus Sects, and they were in a bit of a dilemma for a while.

"Are you two envoys? The Sect Master sent you to help us and the believers? Just when the two of them didn't know what to do, an old man who looked like a steward came over and asked happily.

As soon as Xu Shijun heard this, his face immediately darkened, and there was a faint tendency to draw his sword against him.

Song Jimin was still more serious, he gave Xu Shijun a look, signaled him to be calm, and greeted him himself.

"Uncle, I don't know what happened in this town?" Song Jimin looked at him left and right.

The village elder's attention was really diverted, "Alas, isn't it the evil of the Drinking Horse County? Originally, my Blood Lotus Sect Holy Soldiers wanted to eradicate the demons in one go, but I didn't know that those demons really had some ability, and the Holy Soldiers were repeatedly frustrated. This bloodless lotus ancestor sent down the plague, it turned out to be intended to fall on the heads of those demons, who knows, it will also affect us. Pity the 10,000 people in this town, only these thirty or fifty people are left, the demons killed these days! The steward scolded as he spoke, gritting his teeth in anger!

was scolded as a demon for no reason, and Song Jimin couldn't help but be slightly angry, "Don't talk about this, boss, it's the key to go down and treat the disease as soon as possible!" What are you doing on your knees? Song Jimin asked with a strong face.

"What? Waiting to die? got the plague, didn't seek medical treatment or medicine, but let everyone kneel on the ground and beg the blood lotus ancestor of Nalaoshizi, it's really old and confused! At that moment, a tall man kneeling on the ground shouted dissatisfiedly.

Song Jiminhe's vision lit up, it seems that there are still people who understand!

"Shut up! Iron head, do you want to kill everyone? If you offend the Blood Lotus Ancestor, everyone will die! As soon as the man's words fell, the old man shouted and scolded!

The village elder's words attracted a large number of voices of approval, and Xu Shijun made a rough count, most of them were old people and women, and there were also a small number of young people.

Only a dozen young men beside the man named Iron Head sneered at each other. And the iron head didn't reply, just sneered again and again!

"That's enough, stop me!" Xu Shijun couldn't stand it anymore, and roared in a low voice, and the murderous aura on his body was emanated, which frightened these village women and men into not daring to say anything.

"Old Song, I'll leave it to you here! I'll leave you thirty brothers, who are not honest, you know how to do it! Xu Shijun stayed here sullenly, put down this sentence, turned his face and left. Before leaving, he glanced at the old man hatefully, and the old man's face turned white with fright, and he didn't know where he offended the envoy!
