When the guard of honor was far away, King Xian's cold face gradually stretched, he looked at Jiang Hao beside him, and said to him:

"Tonight, you go to the Luhou Mansion in person, if it is convenient for the Luhou, please invite him to the palace, if it is not convenient, go to Bailing Garden tomorrow afternoon to see the widow."

"No!"

……

After dark, the wine banquet in Yongxing Mansion dispersed, and Bai Liyan talked with Jiang Rong, Xiao Chunyu, and Qiao Fu'er in the study to discuss the selection of a son-in-law.

"Look, who is the most popular among the Xue clan's disciples who are attending the meeting today?"

"It's either dark and thick, or thin and short, and some of them are not as tall as Fang'er, so I can't pick out a few decent ones."

Jiang Rong said, and Lord Qiao answered:

"It looks like it's really bad, and as for the morality, we have to continue to observe and observe. Or if the Hou Ye talks about it, don't you ask them about the three strategies. ”

"Well, Madame is right, this Xue family disciple has benefited a lot in recent years, and it is indeed not what it used to be, but there are some talents. But in my opinion, people should not be disguised, and the sea should not be measured. Those who are handsome may not be talented, they may be embroidered pillows and a bag of grass, and those who are mediocre may have great talents. ”

Lord Qiao heard the clue, and asked tentatively:

"Listen to what Master Hou means, it won't be a crooked melon and a cracked date."

"Hah!" Xiao Chunyu was taken aback, so frightened that she covered her mouth with a towel, and then whispered: "If this is the case, it will hurt Xuan'er." ”

Xiao Chunyu is a typical love idealist, and this gene is also well reflected in Bai Lixuan's body.

Both mother and daughter have a feeling of meeting Prince Charming, but in fact, it may not be the prince who rides a white horse, it may also be Tang Seng, and it is more likely that Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang who does not ride a horse. Xiao Chunyu's encounter with Bailiyan was basically accidental, and in most cases, women can only resign themselves to fate, and free love is simply a luxury.

Bai Liyan is very open-minded, of course he knows that the twisted melon is not sweet, and Bai Lixuan's character is destined to be unhappy, which makes him very sad.

That night, the four of them discussed for a night, and at night, Bailiyan went to Zhou's empty room to spend the night, and then asked her opinion.

Early the next morning, when the sky was bright, there was a sharp knock on the door outside the house, and Wei Qi whispered:

"Master Hou, Mr. Su has something urgent to see."

Baili Yan woke up and hurriedly started from the couch in a cold sweat, he was most worried about the north now, Su Fangyi came to the police twice in three days, which made him feel upset in his heart.

He is also in his early forties, and in the past twenty-six or seven years, he has either fled for his life or fought, and his most free time is also in the office to review manuscripts and survey technical materials.

Hurriedly put on a robe, Bai Liyan hurriedly went to the front yard, and when he saw Su Fangyi, he only saw that his face was full of iron and blue, and Bai Liyan expected that there was nothing good.

"Mr. Su, why are you so anxious this early in the morning?"

"An urgent letter from the main hall last night."

Su Fangyi said quickly, taking out a stack of letters. Bai Liyan glanced down and saw a stack of photos. He took the letter and looked at the photographs first, and was shocked for a moment, almost certainly the outbreak of smallpox in the main hall.

But the next moment, his heart immediately sank, and Bai Liyan could think that maybe there was something wrong with cowpox, or maybe it was a disease with a high degree of similarity to smallpox, and the vaccine had failed. Without hurrying to read the letter, he hurriedly asked:

"Didn't the method of planting pox work below?"

"According to the report from the General Hall, the method of bell pox is extremely effective, and the spread of the disease has been initially curbed, and the pox is being expanded."

"Since it works, what's the urgency of Mr. Su?"

Su Fangyi's expression suddenly became grim, and he said cautiously:

"Master Hou has heard about the living dead recently."

As soon as these words came out, Baili Yan's scalp was numb:

"Why, this news is true!"

"It came from the royal passenger cargo ship that rescued the white man in the first place."

According to Su Fangyi's description, after the royal passenger fleet that rescued the white man escorted the people back to the main hall, they continued to run the cargo, during which smallpox occurred sporadically on board, but it did not attract attention, so the sick people were left at the entrance of the royal passenger hall along the way. That is, more than ten days after the smallpox outbreak in the main hall, one of the ships in this royal passenger fleet mutated, and this ship was the same cargo ship that carried the white people.

The two crew members in the cabin went crazy one after another, biting their comrades, their bodies swelled sharply, their eyes were red with infinite strength, and they could not die if they were stabbed by swords, no matter how serious they were, even if their bones were broken, as long as the flesh and skin were connected, they could heal in a few days or ten days.

Hearing this, Bai Liyan only felt that the sky was spinning and he was dizzy, and the situation had developed to this point, which he had never expected.

"Wait Mr. Su, is that this immortal can heal his wounds on his own in a short period of time, even if his bones are broken?"

"Yes, according to the letter from the General Hall, after this incident, the crew fought with them, and more than 50 people were killed but could not be killed, after which the two undead jumped into the water and fled separately, and the fleet had to go ashore to pursue for more than ten days, but more than 200 people were killed. In the end, he had to gather people and villagers to work together to kill the two fangs. ”

"In other words, just two undead killed nearly three hundred warriors."

"Exactly. This fang is huge, and there are more than 40 heavy crossbows in the body that cannot be killed, and finally even uses the giant crossbow of Xu Guo to nail it to the ground with steel arrows, and then kills its head to kill it. The chief hall suspected that the white man must have carried some other disease with him, and was infected with a strange illness after being touched by the crew after being contaminated with the cabin. ”

"Is there anyone who has been injured by this monster who has the same disease?"

"All the people have recovered in the main hall, and they have not yet found out that they are sick."

"In that case, Mr. Lao Fu Su told the main hall on his behalf that these crew members should be immediately detained and placed under house arrest and quarantine for at least four months, and then make plans when there is no occurrence after April. In addition, to find out what the white man said, this strange disease may be known only to him. ”

Bai Liyan roughly analyzed three important information from Su Fangyi's mouth, first, this disease that can make people mutate is related to the white man, and from a rational point of view, this should not be a disease that people can mutate themselves, which means that it may be another disease or even a virus that has not yet been recognized.

Second, this disease may have a long incubation period, and may not cause infection between patients and normal people, but direct infection by pathogens, which can cause disease through pathogens that break the wound, or invade the bloodstream through ulcers and tissue damage of the digestive system. If it had been airborne, the disease would have broken out long ago.

Third, judging from Su Fangyi's description, the human body's body will swell, and the body's self-healing ability is super strong, which means that it is not a disease, but a genetic mutation caused by a certain virus.

If we assume that this mutation process is not a short-term change, but a long-term virus invasion parasitism and modification, and then mutation in a short period of time, this means that the second point is correct, there is an extremely long incubation period.

This not only made Bai Liyan think of another thing:

"Mr. Su, do you remember when Ben Hou asked people to investigate the Heavenly Ship of the Changsun Kingdom, there were rumors that there were no dead people?"

"Hiss......" Su Fangyi tried to recall for a moment, and was suddenly surprised: "Yes, there is such a thing." According to the information at the time, when Changsun Guo discovered the heavenly ship, there were monsters on the ship, and the blade could not kill them, and they could not be killed unless they cut off their heads. And this monster should be an armpit eyed person, Hou Ye means that this disease of the living dead is passed down by the armpit eyed person! ”

Bai Liyan nodded and replied softly:

"Well, I'm afraid that's possible."

Bai Liyan only felt a chill down her spine, and her heart trembled.

At that time, there were rumors that the Changsun Navy found the Heavenly Boat, and there were still dozens of surviving armpit people, and fired at the Changsun Navy Army, which caused the Changsun Navy to board the ship and fight, and the sword killed it was not dead at all, and only by cutting off the head could it be killed.

This means that the virus that can turn humans into living dead comes from the blood of axillary people, and it must be that the white man carries the blood items of axillary people, and is accidentally touched by the royal crew and infected, it cannot be ruled out that it is contaminated food and entered the human body, otherwise it happens that the probability of infection between the two people at the same time is not so high.

Secondly, if it is difficult to kill the armpit people with physical damage, and they also have a strong physiological self-healing ability, which means that the physical hard damage of the bullet is useless to them at all, let alone the sword, so how can such an open patch be done!

Finally, the thick helmets worn by the armpit men are obviously because their head is their only weakness, as long as they get a headshot, they will definitely die, because of their extraordinary self-healing ability, they naturally do not need to be equipped with armor, as long as they protect their heads, at best they can withstand the pain and blood loss caused by trauma.

Now that they are equipped with helmets, it is difficult for ordinary bullets to penetrate at all, even if the Central Plains are equipped with hot weapons in the future, they can do nothing if they can't die!

Then the question is, what happened to the bottom of the northern hemisphere, what the fuck is this, the internal organs are damaged, and the whole body is bleeding!

Furthermore, if the north invades southward, what should we do if large-scale genetic mutations break out in the Central Plains! The more I think about it now, the more it is a dead end.

Carefully clarifying his thoughts, Bai Liyan asked Wei Qi to bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and personally found the remains of the two mutants to the medical team sent to the Yuke Headquarters, as well as the infected cargo ship, it was necessary to clarify two things immediately.

First, what are the means of transmission, how they are infected, and what are the weaknesses other than the head. Second, monitor the injured and all members of the fleet, and isolate all of them.

"Mr. Su, please bring this letter to the main hall and hand it over to the Lang Zhong, and be sure to keep the two remains and the cargo ship for detailed examination."

"Please rest assured, Master Hou, this matter is on Su."

Sending Su Fangyi away, Bai Liyan's face was extremely pale, and Wei Qi on the side was still confused, he asked:

"Master Hou, what a strange disease is this living dead person who can make people have such strange power and kill more than 300 people in a row without dying."

"It's still unknown, but sooner or later, the wind and rain that should come will come, and some things seem to have to be prepared early."
