Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Chapter 66 ———— The plague is coming

The city of Barrie, where the night is dark and windy, is silent! A gust of wind blew through the large poplar trees beside the well, and with the rustling sound of the canopy, a group of patrolling soldiers walked neatly by!

Not long after the patrol passed, a small figure slid down from the tree, looked left and right to see no one, quickly took out a small bag from his pocket, and then quickly poured the powder in the bag into the well! After patrolling left and right again, the black shadow quickly ran into the darkness!

A gust of wind blew, and the city of Barrière became even darker!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

On the morning of the third day, there was a great chaos in the city of Barryier! All the civilians panicked, and in one day, almost everyone in the city was invaded by a strange disease! Zhang Wu, who got the report, was shocked, in this medically underdeveloped world, the disaster caused by a plague was too big, and he didn't dare to neglect it in the slightest, Zhang Wu immediately ordered and summoned all the high-level leaders of the rebel army to hold a meeting to study countermeasures!

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Zhang Wu rubbed his eyebrows in disarray, and signaled to Jamila, who understood, got up and said: "Everyone, there has been a strange disease in Barrya City in the past two days, the main manifestations of the disease are chills, high fever, fatigue, headache, pain in the limbs and lower back, and some people with high fever have convulsions, coma, and their skin has spots, herpes, and pustules in turn, this strange disease is fierce and develops rapidly, and in just one day, almost the entire civilian population of Barriye has this disease!" ”

Bandak frowned and said, "It's the plague!" Judging from the symptoms, it is very similar to the plague, the big battle a few days ago, so many enemy corpses, did we mishandle it, causing the plague! ”

"If it's a plague, then why doesn't anyone in the army get it? There is no reason for a plague that only infects civilians and not soldiers, does it? Not a single case was found in the First Army, the Central Army, or the Recruit Barracks! "Fatis, who was stationed at Barryeh, had a different opinion!

"And that kind of thing?" Bandak's eyes widened and he asked strangely!

Fatis spread his hands and said, "Indeed! ”

"That's where I'm confused!" Zhang Wu interrupted the two and said, "If it is a plague, it must be contagious, there is no reason to spread the people and not the army!" ”

Jamila sighed and said: "I don't think it should be a plague, first of all, the corpses of the enemy soldiers we killed when we defended the city before were burned by the fire, and we sent people to bury them deep afterwards, it shouldn't cause the plague, and besides, as Fatis and the marshal said, if it is a plague, it can't be infected by almost all civilians, and not a single soldier can be infected!" Even if the soldiers are not running around in the barracks, but those soldiers who go out are not infected, this does not make sense at all! ”

"Probably because of this illness and fear of being a soldier!" Polcha smiled, said a witty remark, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he quickly shut his mouth again!

"Wait, what did you say?" Jamila's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned to look at Porcha and asked!

"Huh? What? I didn't say anything! Porcha pouted and denied it!

Jamila sat down and thought for herself!

"What do you think?" Zhang Wu saw her strange appearance and asked with some doubts!

Jamila didn't answer, closed her eyes and thought quickly, everyone didn't dare to speak, and looked at Jamila with blank eyes!

After a long time, Jamila opened her eyes and said slowly, "Everyone, I have thought of a possibility! ”

"Speak quickly!"

"Tell me!"

Seeing everyone's impatient urging, Jamila frowned and said, "Since this disease is not contagious to the soldiers, now we temporarily rule out that it is a plague, if it is not a plague attack, then can we suspect that this is a man-made destruction?" ”

"Vandalism?" Mathilde shook his head and said, "Then why not destroy the military?" Wouldn't it be more effective to want to bring us down and destroy our army? ”

"Because they can't get into our military restricted zone! Our army, including your boot barracks, is heavily defended, and outsiders can't get in at all! Jamila looked at Mathilde and said righteously!

Zhang Wu nodded and said, "This also explains why almost all civilians have this disease, but there is no problem for sergeants!" ”

"Yes!" Jamila nodded and continued: "There is another basis for me to believe that this matter is not a plague, because although I am not a doctor, I also know a little about the plague, and the plague does not pick people to spread it, and more importantly, there has never been a plague that can infect all the people in the city in one day!" No matter how powerful the plague is, it is not so fast! ”

"Then you said someone drugged?" Mathilde asked with a frown!

Jamila nodded and said, "Very likely! ”

"That's not right either!" Mathilde still disagreed: "Where is he going?" What to eat? It is impossible for everyone to eat the same food, and even if they eat the same, it is impossible for the enemy to drug from house to house, right? Besides, the food of the soldiers in our barracks is also purchased from the market? ”

Jamila smiled slightly and said, "Let's think about it, where can all civilians be involved!" But it doesn't involve our army in the slightest? ”

"Water!" Alleyne, who had never spoken, uttered a word!

"What?" Mathilde didn't hear it!

"Water, well!" Alleyne suddenly said: "They put the medicine in a few wells on the street, so that everyone can be drugged, and our military camp, because the water is too far, so each military camp dug a new well a few days ago, whether they don't know, or dare not go, in short, none of our soldiers have a single case of illness is because of this!" ”

After listening to Alleyne's analysis, Jamila smiled approvingly at him!

In this case, it can indeed be explained! But this is all speculation, and we still don't have any direct evidence! Zhang Wu's brows still did not unravel, but wrinkled even deeper!

Everyone has no idea, direct evidence, how to find it! So the people were silent!

Just when everyone was at a loss, a guard walked in and said uneasily: "Marshal, there are two soldiers in the Central Army Legion, and they have contracted the plague!" ”

"What?" All the people in the room stood up, their faces terrified!

Jamila frowned and said, "Is there only two of them?" Does anyone else have any? ”

"No one came to report it, but the marshal, the chief of staff, and their company commander said that the two of them went out at noon yesterday, and they suspected that they were rumored to have been sent when they were out!" The guard bowed his head and replied in a whisper!

"Out?" Jamila breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Have you eaten out?" ”

The guard touched his head and said, "Then I don't know, they didn't say it!" ”

"Check it out! Immediately, quickly! ”

"Yes!" The guards were stunned and ran out in a hurry!

Sitting back in her seat, Jamila let out a long breath and said to Zhang Wu, "The mystery is about to be solved!" Zhang Wu nodded and didn't speak!

Soon after, the guard hurriedly walked in again and saluted the people present, and the guard said: "Report, it has been found out, those two people did not eat lunch in the barracks, and they had already eaten in the barracks after they finished their mission, so they went to the restaurant on the street to eat!" ”

"Huh...... everyone breathed a sigh of relief and sat back in their chairs, Jamila waved her hand to the guards and said, "It's all right, you go down and tell the brethren not to worry, we already know what is going on and are trying to figure out how to solve it!" ”

"Uh...... Be! The guard agreed, but did not go out, and continued: "Marshal, chief of staff, there is one more thing! ”

"What else?" Zhang Wu asked suspiciously!

......The guard hesitated for a moment, and said: "There are two brothers outside the camp gate of the First Legion, they are two bachelors, and the two of them depend on each other, and the two of them took their wages from the employer the night before, so they were drunk in the tavern, and slept all day yesterday, and did not sober up until this morning, and when they woke up, they found that the whole city was sick, and they were so frightened that they were about to pee their pants, and they heard that our soldiers were not sick, and they cried and shouted in front of the gate of the First Legion that they wanted to be soldiers!" ”

"They're not sick?" Jamila got up and asked quickly!

"No sickness! I'm afraid that the whole Barryer is still alive and kicking with just the two of them! ”

"Hehe......" Jamila smiled happily, turned to Zhang Wu and said, "Marshal, is this considered direct evidence?"

"No, that's it!" Zhang Wu also breathed a sigh of relief!

Knowing that it was not the plague attacking, the brows of the high-level people present were relaxed!
