The biggest problem with the mysterious existence of this line of people is that they are mottled with rotten sores everywhere, and after being covered by cotton and linen clothes and thick foundation, everyone exudes a foul smell.

With such a serious condition, naturally these people's expressions are also depressed, and there are even one or two people who are already lying on the bed and dying, which really makes people panic.

Among the dozen or so people, a middle-aged man who seemed to be relatively healthy said in a rough voice to a group of patients around him: "Thank you for your persistence these days, for your sacrifices, our Hongmen will definitely repay your family thousands of times in the future!" ”

"Captain, what you said is wrong, we voluntarily embarked on this dead end because we believe that the sacrifice of the second sister will bring greater help to our team and will bring a better life to our children and grandchildren, not for these things outside the body."

Someone was a little dissatisfied, and spoke his heart to the leader.

The symptoms on this group of people were exactly the same as those of the severe smallpox patients who appeared in Xufeng Village at that time, and now it seems that it is probably the biochemical virus plan proposed by Xiao Shan at that time, which is being carried out by the Hongtang army.

"It's excellent for brothers to sacrifice voluntarily, but I, Hongmen, will never treat every comrade-in-arms who has made sacrifices for our Hongmen, after these few days, I'm afraid we can only meet on the Huangquan Road in the Netherworld, after drinking this glass of wine, let's start acting!"

The captain suddenly sighed inexplicably, the sumptuous dishes placed on the table, but now the patients present did not have the slightest intention to taste one or two, even if they knew that this was likely to be everyone's last meal, they did not move their chopsticks, until the leader took a glass of wine and saluted everyone.

"I wish my Hongmen smooth sailing in the future, and we will not waste our sacrifices and drink victory!!"

"Drink to !!"

The sparse, neutral tone echoed in the room, alarming Ma San and the others on the other side, causing them to also have a red eye.

In order to ensure the continued activity of the smallpox virus and its contagion, this group of Hongtang soldiers who had no other way relied on self-sacrificing methods to spread the smallpox virus to themselves, so they insisted on reaching the territory of the Qing Dynasty outside the Guan.

did not take the waterway, but found the Chen family caravan in Jinzhong, which had some important handles mastered by Hongmen, and disguised themselves as their men to infiltrate the Qing Dynasty, hoping to directly blossom in the most populous capital of the Qing Dynasty as it is now, and thus infect the tribal villages in the entire Qing Dynasty.

Moreover, as the capital of the Qing Dynasty, not only did the emperor Huang Taiji live in it, but also the Eight Banners Lord and many princes and ministers also lived here.

Some people may wonder, doesn't it mean that most people in Hongmen have already planted vaccinia vaccines? So why could this group of soldiers in Hongtang still be infected with smallpox?

Planting vaccines is certainly a big deal for Hongmen, but for a team like Hongtang's army, which often changes and has patrol tasks for more than half a month, it is still extremely difficult to completely complete the planting of military vaccines, so it is still not enough to coax her until now, and there are still a small number of soldiers in the army who have not planted vaccines.

"After a while in the dead of night, the sick brothers will go their separate ways and spread out to all corners of Shengjing, infecting as many people as they can."

The two commanders, who are pseudonyms Ma San and Niu Si, glanced at each other and said solemnly and passionately to the dozens of brothers around them: "And our task is to pawn the things they have used these days, or make other arrangements, and also help them share a role." ”

"The next thing, after we follow this Chen caravan out of the city in a few days, we will divide our things, you twenty people follow me to the south, and when you encounter a village tribe, you have to find a way to infect them, and the rest will follow the eldest brother you to the north."

"Come, let's make this cup of tea together!"

After the two of them gave the task, they picked up the bowl of tea in their hands, raised it high above their heads and made a drinking gesture, their faces first hesitated, and then they drank it all resolutely, and no longer stayed at all.

The other Hongtang soldiers present were more or less trembling with their hands holding the tea bowls, and most of them were a little hesitant in their eyes, but in the end, they were also like Ma San and Niu Si, and drank the tea bowl in their hands, and then everyone's faces were a little pale, as if they had drunk a cup of poison.

In fact, this bowl of tea is no different from poison, the water source for brewing tea comes from the group of smallpox patients next door to freshen up their bodies and wait for raw water to brew directly, in order to let Ma San and his party all be infected with smallpox virus, and then spread these viruses to other places in the Qing Dynasty.

To put it bluntly, Ma San and their group of people themselves were selected from the Hongtang army to wait for the dead, from the beginning they knew that they had no way to live, but for the future prospects of Hongmen, for the well-being of their children and grandchildren, none of them flinched, and resolutely took this step of self-dedication.

After the tragic gathering, as expected by the principal of the Chen caravan, in the first late night after arriving in Shengjing, this group of strongmen who had not made much movement before finally made a big move.

Under the cover of night, Ma San and the others helped this group of sick comrades-in-arms to settle in various hiding places, while they also discarded the clothes that these patients had worn in the areas inhabited by beggars and slaves, making them think that they had found treasures.

"Offended, brother!"

In a dark corner, two Hongtang soldiers looked at each other, one of them was full of pus, and the other soldier was intact, after a Hongtang military salute to each other, the person in good shape walked behind the patient, put his thick arm on the other party's neck, and then suddenly broke the force, and the neck of his comrade-in-arms in front of him directly appeared in an arc of more than ninety degrees, and then the whole paralyzed and fell, and the light in his eyes gradually dissipated, but it had lost its vitality.

Immediately, the Hongtang warrior, who had just killed his comrades-in-arms, tied the corpses of the other party to two big stones, and quietly dragged them to a deep well not far away.

All kinds of pictures are staged in various places, but except for the Hongtang soldiers, no one can find out that in this dark night, something like a devil is happening.
