On the northern coast of East Java, a small plain surrounded by mountains and dense forests, facing only one side of the sea, the inhabitants of the plain had to go out to sea by boat and find another landing site to come ashore. This is mainly due to the fact that the mountains and dense forests on three sides of the plain are simply not traversable by humans, so this small plain is also very hidden.

Originally, there was a small tribe of hundreds of people living on this small plain, but just a few years ago, a regular army of Han Chinese broke in, they killed the old people, women and children of the tribe, leaving only the young men, and then driven by the slave catchers, together with some slaves who were transported here, built a strong stronghold, but after the construction of the stronghold, all the slaves involved in the construction were killed.

After that, a group of strange people were stationed in this stronghold, all of them were wearing white robes, wrapping their entire bodies tightly, some of them still had masks on their faces, only revealing a pair of cold eyes outside, and all the people they saw would feel as if they had been stripped naked, which made people feel very uncomfortable. It is precisely for this reason that the 500 troops stationed outside the stronghold rarely come into contact with these people in normal times.

And as soon as these men in white robes entered the stronghold, a group of Javanese slaves were brought in, including men and women, old and young, and even many terminally ill patients, who could never be sold if they were placed among other slaves, but the people in the stronghold seemed to welcome the sick very much, and were more happy to see them than ordinary slaves.

In addition to the native slaves of the island of Java, every once in a while. There would be some special fleets of ships from afar, and the slaves sent from these fleets would be of a variety of shapes. That is, there are dark-skinned natives, as well as high-nosed and deep-eyed Tianzhu and Persians. And a significant number of them are patients.

These fleets often unload batches of large long boxes, which look like coffins, and when these boxes are lifted, some of them will emit a stream of cold air, as if they are ice cubes that have just come out of the ice cellar, and some will emit a pungent smell of alcohol, and occasionally mixed with some rotten stench, which makes people want to vomit.

And whenever these fleets arrived, the people in the stronghold were like great enemies. All the people involved in the transportation of slaves and goods wore a special clothing, wrapped their whole body, hands and feet, and wore a special sleeve on their heads, and breathed through a mask, the mouth of the mask and the outside world was a small box containing charcoal alcohol, the principle is somewhat similar to the hookah of later generations, the inhaled gas will be filtered by alcohol and charcoal, and the eyes of the mask are also made of closed glass, which can be said to be very tightly protected.

After transporting slaves and goods. All crew members of the fleet will also be quarantined in the base for a period of time, and if any symptoms are detected, they will be immediately isolated and treated by the best doctors. If the other party unfortunately dies, he will be secretly awarded a special medal by the Qi Palace, and the wife and children at home will also be supported by the government.

The location of this stronghold does not appear on the official map. Only some particularly classified military maps will indicate the location of this stronghold. The name of this stronghold is also very strange, and the map is usually marked with only the word 'Devil Cry'. That's why people who know about this stronghold for the first time call it Devil May Cry Stronghold, but those who really know the origin of this stronghold call it 'Devil May Cry Island'.

Ghost Cry Island was originally an ordinary island in the Tsushima Strait, but it was named Ghost Cry Island because of the many caves on the island, and when the sea breeze poured in, it would emit a terrible trombone sound. Later, however, Li set up an anatomy school on the island, and appointed Wu Tiande, an unscrupulous Taoist priest, as the director, to specialize in the study of human body structure in order to promote the development of medical technology.

Wu Tiande has made remarkable achievements on Ghost Cry Island, after several years of research, the School of Anatomy not only drew a large number of human body structure diagrams, but also studied some common diseases, found out the lesion site to make a specimen, and then compared with the normal part of the comparative study, this intuitive medical research has greatly promoted the development of existing medicine, some of the previous incurable diseases, now there is a treatment idea, I believe that in a few years, someone will study a specific treatment.

However, in the future, under the auspices of Wu Tiande, the Anatomy School of Devil Cry Island began to study a huge medical topic, that is, the prevention and treatment of plague. After all, no matter what era it is, as long as there is a plague, it means that hundreds of people have been killed by the disease, and even hundreds of thousands of people die at a time.

And when the plague comes, it doesn't matter if you are a nobleman or a commoner, everyone is equal in the face of the disease, in other words, even if Li Su's family is infected with the plague, they will at most receive some more advanced treatment than civilians, but with the current medical level of Datang, even if it has improved a lot compared to before, Li Su still does not have any confidence.

It is precisely like this, so for Wu Tiande's research topic of wanting to find the pathogenesis of the plague, Li Su raised his hands in favor, but if he wants to study the plague, the original Ghost Cry Island is not very suitable, after all, it is too close to Sanhan and the Wa Kingdom, and if the plague spreads out during the research, it will be a big game. Therefore, it is best to move the anatomy school to a place far away from the forces of Datang and Li Su.

Although Li Su hoped that the research of the plague would be as far away from him as possible, if it was too far, the research materials would not be easy to transport, and the safety could not be guaranteed, so this place was best within Li Su's sphere of influence, and naturally only the islands in the South Seas met this condition.

First, the location of Java is remote enough, some distance from the areas actually controlled by Datang and Li Su, and secondly, this is a slave production area, and the slaves needed can be arranged nearby, as for the safety issue, Li Su did not need to worry about it at that time, because the slave hunting team has established many strongholds along the coast of Java, and has never heard of the natives having the courage to attack. It is precisely because of these advantages that Java finally has a special stronghold.

In addition, the personnel involved in the research of these plagues were also organized into a special force by Li Su, codenamed Ghost Cry Island, which was also unanimously decided by Wu Tiande and his subordinates, after all, they had made great achievements on Ghost Cry Island, so they wanted to continue the glory of Ghost Cry Island.

It's just that at that time, Li Su didn't expect that a few years later, Java Island would appear in the current situation, the rebellion in West Java has not been quelled, East Java and Central Java launched domestic natives to attack the Han stronghold, it is said that the location of the stronghold of Devil Cry Island is very hidden, all the natives who participated in the construction were killed, and the native slaves who were transported in the future were even more in and out, so except for the people in the stronghold and some high-level Taiwanese, no one should know about the existence of this stronghold.

However, there is no permanent secret in this world, and the location of the stronghold of Devil Cry Island is not known how to leak out, and it was also known by the army of the East Java Kingdom, and then sent an army to attack the stronghold of Devil Cry Island in a small boat, and the number reached more than 5,000 people.

Fortunately, although East Java knows the location of Devil Cry Island, it does not know what this stronghold does, and only subjectively believes that Devil Cry Island should be a place for slave hunters to rest and hide, just like other strongholds. Otherwise, if they knew that the local natives were used for experiments here, then the attack would not be 5,000, but 50,000.

For the attack of the natives, the stronghold of Devil Cry Island is not prepared at all, but fortunately this is not an ordinary stronghold, there is an elite force of 500 people stationed outside the stronghold all year round, and the troops are also equipped with a lot of firearms, such as grenades and bazookas, etc., and there are even 100 musketeers, it can be said that whether it is offensive or defensive, it is very sharp.

It was precisely because of this that when the native troops of 5,000 people landed, they were immediately attacked by these 500 people, and as a result, they suffered heavy losses for a time and had to retreat temporarily. But 500 people is too few, and these 5,000 people are the first attack of the natives, if it drags on, the natives are likely to mobilize a large army to come, and then the entire stronghold of Devil Cry Island will not be good.

It is precisely because of this that Wu Tiande, as the supreme commander, immediately ordered all the personnel to retreat urgently, and there was no need to bring anything else except for some valuable research equipment and precious research materials.

In this way, the researchers in the stronghold of Devil Cry Island all hurriedly boarded the ship, but the research equipment and materials they needed to take with them were a lot of them, and large and small boxes kept being transported to the ship, but it seemed that it would take at least a few hours to complete the shipment.

The natives who were temporarily repelled by the five hundred elites were not stupid, and soon saw the people in the stronghold carrying things on the ship, they thought that those boxes were full of gold and silver property, so they were all red-eyed, and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks again, although they paid huge casualties every time, but in the spirit of dying for money, the natives were fearless, not to mention that the number of the other party's army was much smaller than theirs.

In this emergency situation, Wu Tiande had to give up some valuable experimental equipment, first bring those more important experimental materials on the ship, and finally after finally moving it, 500 elite soldiers have killed 100 people, and almost all of the rest are wounded, and when the soldiers boarded the ship, they were once again fiercely attacked by the natives, the purpose was to prevent them from getting on the ship. The last team of fifty men broke off on the shore, which allowed the other soldiers to board the ship, but all of them died on the beach.

After driving Wu Tiande away, this native army immediately rushed into the stronghold of Ghost Cry Island, trying to find the belongings that the Han people did not come and took away, but what they found was a corpse full of plague virus! (To be continued......)
