This plague is not contagious between humans and animals, but because the people of the village ate the carcasses of those sick and dead animals, they passed the disease on themselves. After that, Lang Zhong led people up the mountain to retrieve a decomposed animal carcass, and then dug out the brains and used them in medicine, so that those who had not yet become ill were cured.

At that time, the people in the village once thought that this strange disease had been completely cured, but they did not know that they were not cured, but also passed on the strange disease to their children and grandchildren......

The people in the village are no different from normal people when they are alive, but when they are on the verge of death, they suddenly go crazy. It was also from that time that whenever someone died in the village, the body must be destroyed immediately, which became an iron rule that the villagers had followed for generations, and no one could change it.

After Ji Shengli listened to the woman's speech, his heart immediately understood, that is to say, the body of this person in the village must be cremated after death, otherwise he will become a monster that bites people when he sees them, and he will also pass the virus to the bitten person.

At this time, after one of the policemen listened, he asked Aunt Zhao in a low voice, "What about the rest of the village?" ”

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao said, "I heard our old man say that these sick people have bad eyes at night, so the old man asked us women to hide here with their children first, and they waited until it was dark to go out and cut off all the heads of those guys, otherwise none of these children in the village would survive." ”

When Ji Shengli heard this, he asked, "If you cut off your head, they will be completely dead?" ”

Aunt Zhao nodded and said, "As long as the head is cut off, they can't move anymore, and then it will be okay to burn the body with another fire." ”

"Are there more people in the village who are sick now?" Ji Shengli asked.

Aunt Zhao shook her head blankly and said, "I can't say it, we have been here for a day and a night." Last night when my old man came to bring us food, he said, let us stay in the house, and then come and call us out when they have dealt with all the crazy people outside. ”

Ji Shengli felt that this method was a bit unreliable, he hadn't seen those villagers who were sick, although they didn't walk very coordinated, but their movements were quite fast, the old village chief might be bitten if they weren't careful!

Thinking of this, he looked back at the two policemen who came with him and said, "Comrade, do you all have guns?" ”

The two policemen were stunned for a moment, and then one of them said with some embarrassment, "You want us to shoot us?" It's not in order, right? Those are ordinary people, not criminals, who rashly shot and killed them, and we can't tell you when we go back! ”

After hearing this, Ji Shengli sighed and said, "Comrade policeman, you also saw just now, these villagers are infected with some unknown virus, if we don't kill them all, then none of us will survive...... Even if you don't consider the life and death of you and me for the time being, what about the people under the mountain? These people are trapped in the mountains now, but if they run down the mountain, the consequences will be really unimaginable! ”

That being said, if he really asked Ji Shengli to cut off someone else's head, he might not be able to do it, and just when a few people were hesitating, there was a gentle knock on the door...... Everyone immediately raised their hearts to their throats, but they all immediately realized that it must not be those biting guys who would knock on the door.

At this time, Aunt Zhao walked over and opened the door a crack, and a thin man came in, carrying a basket of raw sweet potatoes in his hand. The thin man was also quite surprised when he saw Ji Shengli and his party, and said, "Cadre Ji? You...... How did you get back? ”

This man Ji Shengli knows, he is the village accountant Zhao Youcai, and he is also the brother-in-law of the old village chief, Aunt Zhao.

When Ji Shengli heard this, he whispered to him, "I originally brought the county's medical team back to treat the injuries of the people in the village, but I didn't expect things to turn out like this, let's not talk about this, how is the situation outside?" ”

Zhao Youcai's face was a little ugly after hearing this, and said, "Cadre Ji, you have to save us, there are many people dead in the village, big guys, Haizi, and poor people, they are all crazy!" Last night, my brother-in-law asked a few of us to go out and cut off all their heads while it was dark, and the result was ...... A few more people were bitten! ”

Ji Shengli saw that Zhao Youcai was getting more and more excited, so he hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't panic, there are two police comrades with us, don't worry, we will definitely be able to rescue you all!" Now you have to answer my question seriously, how many people are there outside who have not been bitten? ”

Zhao Youcai thought for a while and said, "There are almost a dozen people." ”

"What about the biting stuff out there? Do you know how many there are? Ji Shengli said.

This time, Zhao Youcai shook his head and said, "Where do you know where to go!" Last night we cut off the heads of a few people, and many of the injured ran back to their homes, and no one can say whether the bitten ones went crazy or not! ”

Ji Shengli heard this and told Zhao Youcai, "Don't worry about being bitten and not crazy, they are just infected with some kind of virus now, they can't be regarded as dead people, I brought a medical team, they may still be saved, so you can't rush to kill them!" ”

When Zhao Youcai heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, "I know this, in fact, what is going on with this disease, the people in our village know it in their hearts, and they will only go crazy when they are dying." Our older generation once left behind an earthwork recipe, that is, to use the brains of people who have become ill to smear wounds, but no one knows whether it is useful or not. ”

As soon as Ji Shengli heard this recipe, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart, and used human brains to smear wounds!? It's chilling to think about...... But now the village may not lack the most human brains, right?

After thinking for a moment, Ji Shengli turned around and discussed with the two policemen what to do next? One of the policemen suggested that one of them leave the place first and go to the county to report for reinforcements, but those things were so fierce that the two guns in their hands should not be of much use.

Ji Shengli also agreed to this method after hearing this, but it became a problem to let anyone go...... There are more women than men in their group, and it is definitely not possible to let the female comrades in the medical team go down the mountain to ask for help, first, they are prone to danger when they walk on the mountain road by themselves, and second, they have only walked this road once, and if they get lost, it will be even more doomed.

Ji Shengli suggested that one of the two policemen go down the mountain to ask for help, but both of them thought it was inappropriate. First, because they have guns in their hands, they can also use guns, and they can protect everyone's safety at critical moments, and secondly, they are also afraid that they will get lost.

In the end, they discussed and discussed, and everyone agreed to let Ji Shengli go down the mountain to ask for help, because he was the only one among these people who was quite familiar with this mountain road.
