Chapter 285: Finding Patterns
Although Zhuo Yu had known about the plague before, when he really arrived in this environment, he was still shocked by the scenes in front of him. One by one, they poured beside the filthy sewage, groaning and moaning, but no one dared to look at it. Zhuo Yu and the others all covered their mouths and noses with veils, and they didn't know what the way of infection was, so they naturally had to be cautious.
"Is this man lying on his stomach, fending for himself?" Zhuo Yu asked Yu Chi Jin next to him in disbelief.
Yu Chi Jin looked much calmer, he had naturally experienced a lot of this kind of thing, and in this case, these people were already in a state of no help, so they could only stay here and wait for death. If the whole village is in this situation, and there is still no way to deal with the plague, then the village can only be sealed and no one can come out.
Although it sounds a little too cruel, this is also a decision that has to be made in order to prevent more people from being hurt, and they are helpless.
"There's no way out, so I have to do this." Situ Ji looked out the window and sighed.
Zhuo Yu couldn't bear to look at it anymore, it was the first time she had encountered this situation, and so was Lian Cheng, only to see him frowning, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart.
"Yu Chijin, what are the symptoms of these patients' reactions at present?" Situ asked.
"So far, it is only known that the patient has simple diarrhea at the beginning, with signs of vomiting, and this situation will last for about seven days, and the patient will die."
"Do you know how this disease is contagious?" Situ then asked.
"It's not clear. Caijia Village is not the first village to be infected by the plague, Nabaili Village is the first. The villagers inside, without exception, all fell ill. Yu Chi Jin continued:
"I thought that after the village was set on fire, the epidemic would stop, but then people in the surrounding villages began to have similar diseases."
"That's weird." Situ said thoughtfully.
"What about the officials who came to deal with the epidemic before? Have those people been infected? Zhuo Yu asked. After all, she still knows a little bit about these diseases.
"Almost no one was spared." Yu Chijin said a little heavily.
Zhuo Yu was very surprised when she heard this, she tried to recall the stories she had seen in the history books before, but the more anxious she was, the more she couldn't remember, she vaguely remembered where she had heard of a similar pathology, but she couldn't remember it very clearly now.
After everyone arrived at the place where the officials were stationed, they all got out of the carriage, and Zhuo Yu's wounds had almost recovered in the past few days. Seeing that there was no trace of infection in the place where he was stationed, Zhuo Yu asked curiously, "Didn't you say that the people sent before have all been infected?"
"This is a newly built place, and the area where it was previously stationed is on the other side." Wei Chi Jin said.
"So do these people have signs of infection?" Zhuo Yu then asked.
"I don't know what happened yet, let's go in and take a look." Yu Chi Jin said.
After everyone entered, the prefect and the prefectural order had been waiting here for a long time. However, after all, it was an official from a small place, so he had not had a chance to go to the court to meet the saint, but when he saw a team of people parked at the door, it must be the Lord Regent who came, so the two of them went to greet him in a panic.
"Minister, attend His Royal Highness the Regent." The two said at the same time.
"What is the situation of the people in the camp now?" Yu Chijin asked.
"Back to Your Highness, almost none of the soldiers are infected with the plague at the moment." Governor Liu said.
"And have you been in contact with sick villagers?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"It's natural, those bodies must be buried in time, and they can't be left alone." Governor Liu replied.
"How many people have died?" Situ asked.
"This ...... If you don't count Caijia Village, there are already eight people in the village who have been infected with a vicious disease, and many people have fled after having symptoms, and the situation is very tricky. ”
After Zhuo Yu heard this Liu Governor's answer, he became curious. Almost all of the soldiers sent in the past were infected with the disease, but now there are almost nothing to do here. If this epidemic can be infected when the two of them are talking, then this time the people should be wiped out like last time.
"Lord Prefect, I want to see the epidemic map here." Zhuo Yu said that she wanted to find some clues from it, and now she seemed to have some answers in her heart, but she was not sure enough.
After Governor Liu heard the order, he took Zhuo Yu and them into the camp.
"My lord, these are the villages where the plague took place. The red part of the map is the territory of Zhao. This is the junction zone, so the two countries have been exchanging these information. Wang Xian Ling said.
Zhuo Yu took the map and saw that the area where the plague was distributed was somewhat close. I thought that since Baili Village was the first village to have a plague, if there was an outbreak, there should be problems for the people in the surrounding villages. But in Zhangjia Village, which is next to Nabaili Village, no one was infected, which is really strange.
"Yu Chijin, don't you think this Zhangjia Village is very abnormal?" Zhuo Yu asked.
"Anomaly?" Yu Chijin was a little puzzled.
"You see, Baili Village, as the first village to have a plague, if it is to be infected, then Zhangjia Village will definitely not be able to escape, but why is it intact here?"
Zhuo Yu's words also reminded them, why didn't they notice the strangeness here before?
"Zhuo Yu, did you find something?" Yu Chijin asked.
"I don't know what to say now, but I have to see it for myself so that I can make up my mind." Zhuo Yu said.
"It's better for me to go, you stay here honestly, don't walk around!" Lian Cheng said on the side, anyway, he is no longer a mortal body, so naturally he will not be contaminated with this epidemic. If Zhuo Yu goes to regenerate this time, it will not be good.
"Where am I so squeamish, nothing will happen." Zhuo Yu said that she now thinks that the way of transmission will be better than they imagined, at least the way of transmission has nothing to do with the air. If you really want to determine what kind of epidemic it is, it is better to go there yourself.
"You stay here and don't go anywhere." Yu Chi Jin said on the side. He doesn't have much time left, so it's better for him to go with Lian Cheng.
"But if you go, I'm afraid you don't know what to pay attention to, if I go, I will definitely be able to find out the truth." Zhuo Yu said.
"No one can compare to your life right now." Yu Chijin said, and after saying that, he began to cough violently a few times.
