After flying for a day in a row, not only was the mount tired, but the people were also a little unbearable. Lan Shuying found a chain store of the same carriage and horse shop halfway to stop and go through the transfer procedures.

The overall atmosphere of this shop is far worse than that of Garnet, there is only one counter, and the elderly goblin sits in the back and smokes, and when he hears that she is going to change her mount, he says he understands, but the back is a bit messy, wait a while.

Lan Shuying went to the door of the store to breathe.

Looking at the high city wall over there, she frowned slightly.

"Something isn't right."

Xiao Ao poked his head out of his body, put his two hands on her shoulders, and asked her, "Where?" ”

Lan Shuying stepped aside and whispered, "The store was moving things just now, and I saw that someone found a large box of reins to come out, and they might want to move their mounts somewhere else." ”

"Are you sure it's a transfer? Maybe it's going to be a big business. Xiao Ao raised a bar.

Lan Shuying shook her head.

If the order was that valuable, the goblins inside shouldn't have such heavy expressions...... As long as the money is enough, even if they are doing white things, they can immediately jump up and jump on the grave.

Looking at them, it looks like business can't go on.

"Let's go ahead and have a look."

As she approached the gates, she found the atmosphere even more solemn.

The soldiers defending the city were all covered with thick cloths, and there were robes over their leather armor, and they didn't show much skin on a hot day, only a pair of lifeless eyes.

She watched for ten minutes, but the gates were closed, and no one came out of it.

The situation is not good.

This sentence suddenly floated through my mind.

Two grizzled travelers came along the way, apparently intending to enter the city, but after a few words to the soldiers, they turned around and ran, and in a hurry landed an empty water bladder on the ground.

The traveler hesitated for a few moments, but finally did not look back to pick it up, as if there were fierce beasts in the city, which would chase them out and eat people at any time.

"It's not quite right." Xiao Ao reacted and muttered, "Why is there a dead breath inside?" Did a lot of people die......"

“…… Right. ”

Lan Shuying slowly retracted her feet.

She had taken one more step forward just now, and she was about eighty meters away from the city wall, and the [Death Inspiration Knowledge] that came with her identity card was a hundred meters away...... She felt a lot of familiarity.

It can be concluded that there were at least 300 dead bodies piled up in the area of 20 meters behind the city walls.

"Three hundred! What did they do?! Xiao Ao was shocked.

As he spoke, smoke rose from the other side of the wall.

An indescribable scorching smell gradually filled the air.

The breaths vanished one after another.

Lan Shuying understood that the body had been incinerated.

She retreated to the carriage and was confronted by a giant elephant, on which the green-skinned goblin sat the same person who had been carrying the reins.

He was followed by a group of mounts of various colors.

"Where are you going?" Lan Shuying beckoned him.

The goblin jumped down, skillfully took her silver coin, and answered in a loud voice:

"Guest, there's a plague going on in the city, I can't stay! Would you like to rent a mount? Oh, don't stand that far, come and have a look! It's all energetic little guys, and you're satisfied! ”

He cracked the mouth of a baby alpaca.

Probably to prove that the little one is in good health.

However, he was suddenly overshadowed by a large cloud of shadow - another large alpaca came over and unceremoniously arched him to the ground!

The mother is strong to protect the cubs, and the little alpaca cranes its neck and makes a cheerful cry.

If you want to say that this is not a mockery, no one believes it.

The goblin screamed, "You two rude bastards! ”

He looked at Lan Shuying and explained in a loud voice that it was an accident, and they were usually very well-behaved! Or you can take a look at other mounts.

Lan Shuying didn't plan to take care of his business.

She's signed a contract with the counter, but her new mount isn't ready yet.

The goblin also saw it, and asked her again, "Is there anything else the guest wants to ask?" ”

"If so, more money?"

"Of course!"

"Okay."

Lan Shuying handed him another one and asked, "When did the plague start, how is the situation now, and where has it spread?" ”

The goblin hesitated: "...... One more? ”

"Yes."

Lan Shuying kindly took out a gold coin and a silver coin and placed them in the palms of both hands.

The goblin's gaze was glued to the gold coin!

"The quality of your answers determines which one you can take." Lan Shuying hinted.

Is this still a choice?

All for the Golden Sparkle!

The goblin replied in great detail.

He also took out a notebook from his bosom and showed it to her, which recorded the time of the outbreak of the plague, the measures taken in the city, the number of deaths each day, the places where the sick gathered, and so on.

Lan Shuying was in a strange mood.

The information is so detailed, it has already exposed the details of the carriage and horse dealership - leasing mounts is probably not the most profitable project of their family, and the real development should be the intelligence business.

Let's not mention this shop.

Assuming that the contents of this record are true, then in the past two months, since the sudden outbreak of the plague in the city, at least 100,000 people have run out, and there must have been sick among them.

And the rest of them died seventy-seven or eighty-eight.

Lan Shuying sensed three hundred dead corpses just now, according to the goblin's description, it was only a day's amount - there had never been such a powerful plague in the Southern Continent!

With the exception of a handful of doctors, volunteers, patrolmen, and city guards, all that remained were patients who were largely incapacitated.

Even so, there are no more than 10,000 living people in the city, which is really in line with the sentence that there is no one in ten.

"Why...... It could be pollution, it could be rats, it could be witchcraft, it could be Pandora's box just opening above their heads...... We can't tell. ”

"I made the last business today, and the cunning city lord said a few days ago that he wanted to live and die with the city's people, and now he is running away...... Headquarters ordered us to evacuate all within three hours, without mounts, and the rest of those who were not sick were afraid ......"

The goblin sighed, sympathy on his greasy face.

This small country is surrounded by desert on all sides, with no edge in sight, and the yellow sand obscures the sun when the wind blows. If they run on two legs, they won't be able to run far.

After the chariot and horse company withdrew, the city was completely abandoned.

Lan Shuying's heart sank when she heard this.

"Are the guests going into the city for supplies? Give it up, I admit that the things in our store are a bit expensive, because they are all airlifted from the royal capital Gabriel, and the key is to ensure freshness...... Safe. ”

Lan Shuying was helpless: "You are really always doing business." ”

"It's a racial gift." Goblin said calmly.

·

"Why don't you leave? …… Hey, be sober, even their city lord has given up, you don't want to go in and join in the fun, do you? ”

Xiao Ao watched her finish replenishing in the carriage and horse shop, but avoided the crowd of evacuees, and led his mount to the back, with the intention of spending the night here, he was a little panicked.

"Yes, there is a plan." Lan Shuying said bluntly.

Xiao Ao's eyes clearly wrote:

- Are you crazy?!

"You're only half-undead, do you really think you can't get sick? And you're not a doctor, what can you do when you go in? Didn't you listen to that little bit, the city is now a group of people waiting to die and not dying, whatever! ”

Xiao Ao saw her lazily ignoring her, thought about it, and persuaded from another angle:

"Let me tell you, like our energy body, who perceives the super-spirit, believe me, there are no good things in the city, they have all been taken away by the city lord!"

Lan Shuying was stunned for a moment: "...... Oh. ”

Xiao Ao saw that she didn't understand the meaning, and became even more impatient: "I said, it is impossible for you to gain anything when you go in, hurry up and die this heart, we still have to hurry!" ”

Lan Shuying smiled: "So, in your eyes, I am the one who dies for good things?" ”

"You're not?"

"Not today, anyway."

No matter how much Xiao tried to persuade her, she didn't want to change her mind, and her intuition told her that this plague was not that simple.

Besides, when she was observing with the ghost pupil during the day, she made an unexpected discovery......

The trouble here is not necessarily impossible to solve.

·

As the sun sets, the full moon hangs in the sky, brighter and brighter.

Lan Shuying really didn't plan to enter the city in person.

She first walked around the town, and glanced diagonally behind her, several cloaked figures silently walked out, it was the corpse puppet she had brought out of the wizard's market.

Necromantic creatures are more active at night, their speed and combat power are increased, and they are surrounded by a cold air, but other than that, they don't look much different from ordinary people.

Without giving an order at all, several corpse golems consciously hooked the wall with climbing ropes, quickly reached the top, and then jumped into the city. The whole process was extremely smooth, and not a single defender noticed it.

Xiao Ao pinched a handful of sweat for Lan Shuying.

It's just a wall, not necessarily able to stop the spread of the plague, and she's at risk of being infected if she's standing here. The situation in the city is bad enough, and she is not afraid of causing panic when she sends people in like this?

Lan Shuying was multitasking, controlling several corpse puppets to investigate separately in the city, and took the time to reply: "I will pay attention and try not to let them touch the living." ”

"But it doesn't matter if you do...... If you didn't know beforehand, can you tell that they are not alive if you just walk face to face? ”

Xiao Ao: You have a good point......

"Forget it, whatever you want, as long as you can send me back......" Xiao Ao couldn't persuade her anyway, rolled his eyes and returned to his body, no matter what.

·

It's a humble log cabin.

Unlike the surrounding darkness, in today's gradual scarcity of materials, there are even extravagant lights here.

The thin back stood under the lamp.

She didn't care about wiping her sweat, the cloth made a deep mark on the bridge of her nose, and a pair of apricot eyes with sweat stains stared at the changes in the test tube, silently thinking in her heart: If you want to succeed, you must succeed this time......

It's a pity that things didn't go as she wanted-

Sparks burst forth.

The test tube shattered, and at the same time shattered her hopes.

Is she destined to be trapped here and waiting to die?

Absolutely not!

The girl was silent for a long time, then got up, slowly reconfigured a potion, mixed it, heated it, and carefully ...... Suddenly, she heard a hoarse voice say:

"Wrong."

The girl was taken aback, grabbed the wooden stick and said vigilantly: "Who?!" ”

The stranger was separated from her by a door, but he knew everything about her actions, and did not invade, but calmly spoke to her, all from the ingredients of the drug, and every word was determined.

As the other party said, her treatment of one of the ingredients was slightly inappropriate, resulting in the inability to fully exert the medicinal properties, and the heating step was even more wrong.

What's more, even if she did it correctly, the potion she got didn't work.

The girl listened in a daze, vaguely feeling that the other party was telling the truth...... Perhaps, you can see it according to his method? "You, no...... What kind of material are you talking about?! ”

There was a slight noise outside the door.

The man said, "I have left it at the door, and you can weigh the dosage yourself." ”

By the time the girl pounced on the door and opened the door, the mysterious man had disappeared.

She opened her bag, which was bulging with a plant with slender snow leaves. The girl had the mentality of trying it out, so she broke off a few leaves in the next experiment and crumpled them and put them in.

After a long time, there were excited cheers from the wooden house.

"Xiaoqing? What's wrong, is there progress in our medicine? ”

The girl turned around, her eyes red with excitement: "Yes! Come and see, I've finally made an antidote! ”

She soaked in dirty cloth in the experimental utensils, and under the effect of the special drug, the bottle on the left showed a cloudy peacock blue hue, and in the bottle on the right that she added the antidote, the color quickly faded, and finally it was as clear as water!

The young people who were attracted by the screaming also showed surprise.

"Great, we were finally able to get out! I thought it was ...... Haha, early tomorrow morning, we will hand over the antidote to the City Lord's Mansion for gold, and then rent a mount, and we will go to the Central Bridge! ”

Outside the wooden house, the pale-skinned man was about to leave, and when he heard the words "bridge in the center", he suddenly turned his head.

Dark shadows sprang out of the darkness, they had a stench on their bodies, they were staggering, and their exposed skin was red and even festering, and they were obviously patients.

Iron rods, kitchen knives, farm tools...... Whatever weapons they could find in the house, they numbly gathered around the hut one by one.

Outside the city, Lan Shuying opened her eyes suspiciously, and muttered, "Are these people crazy......

If the antidote is successfully developed, they will have hope of survival, but these patients ...... They seem to have been peeping near the girl's wooden house for a long time, and when they saw the antidote come out, their first reaction was to destroy it!

Yes, not to rob the medicine, but to destroy it!

Lan Shuying summoned the other corpse puppets as well, and it was not too much effort to deal with these weak people, and they were all defeated quickly.

"Thank you!"

The young man who was with the girl came out to thank the corpse puppets first, and then told the girl to wrap up the test tube, and they decided to go to the City Lord's Mansion immediately.

"Wait a minute......"

The pale-faced man stopped him: "Don't go, there is no one in the City Lord's Mansion anymore." ”

"What?!" The young man looked surprised, and subconsciously retorted: "How come, in the morning, I tried my best to develop an antidote, and they posted a list." ”

Lan Shuying continued through the mouth of the corpse puppet: "The city lord has run away, and the last business done by the carriage and horse shop today is his. ”

She paused and asked, "Now that you have the antidote, do you have any plans for the next step?" ”
