415. [Dark Souls] Make Rodran Great Again!
"Back to Earth?"
When Nan Xiao informed the firefighter about this, Javier was giving his daily routine speech on the balcony of the church. The square was crowded with people, not at all worried about the spread of the undead plague.
"My fellow Rodlands!"
Once a tall and strong warrior, Javier is now old but still loud and impressive.
"Today, we are gathered at a time of crisis. As Rodland faces the threat of the Plague of the Undead, under the guidance of His Majesty King Gwen, we will stand together and fight to the end! β
The tsunami roared from the mountains in the square, and countless people were moved to tears. Especially the last sentence: "Make Rodland great again!" "As soon as it came out, the mood of the masses reached a nuclear bomb-like explosion.
Anastasia looked embarrassed. "Are you going back to Earth now?" She asked, very confused, "Bishop Javier has just praised you for your great contribution to the crusade against the Half-Demon Prince, and wants you to continue with other difficult fire-passing tasks. The situation is still dire and if you leave halfway through, Rodland ......"
"It's for the safety of Rodland that I'm going back to Earth."
"Ah, is that so?"
"Look into my eyes," Nan Xiao looked at her gently, "Am I going to lie to you?" β
The fireproof girl lowered her head in embarrassment: "Since that's the case, then I'll open the portal for you." β
Nan Xiao's first feeling when he returned to Earth was that the situation was not optimistic.
Although the largest nest of infected people near Tokyo, the farm that kept the living corpses, has been destroyed, the undead plague has spread across the globe. Tokyo is a cosmopolitan city where countless people come and go every day, all over the world. A female executive of a company in a lighthouse country came to Tokyo on a business trip and went back and infected her family. And the plague has mutated. Living corpses will run around frantically and bite people, and within a few days of being bitten, they will become ill, and there is no cure. Half of the life will survive, and the other half will suddenly become a living corpse.
This sudden living corpse is terrifying. One second the patient was still lying on the bed dying, and the next second he suddenly jumped up and bited, and his movements were very flexible, faster than a wild dog. Moreover, people who are lying in hospital beds are also contagious. Those who cared for them also fell ill one after another.
In the dark night sky, he stood on the highest crater on the moon's surface, looking down on the earth.
From this distance, the Earth is very large and occupies a large part of the lunar horizon. The blue ocean is still so beautiful, the white clouds are shrouded, and the whole planet looks as peaceful as usual.
But he could hear countless cries at the moment. The city is burning, and the living corpses roam the streets. Fleeing vehicles blocked every road. One building after another fell. The gun did not work at all. Even if the headshot is knocked down, the living corpse will get up again after a while. The only way to do this is to burn them to ashes. But it simply can't be done.
And that's just one city in the Lighthouse Nation of the Americas in the Northern Hemisphere. The same tragedy is now playing out in other cities.
A satellite flies overhead. Nan Xiao glanced up at it and began to receive the information it forwarded.
In an instant, a huge screen appeared in front of him. Small videos quietly spread by TV stations, video websites, and even non-governmental people in discussion groups from various countries appeared on the screen. Countless images are layered together.
The most striking image is the speech of the President of the Lighthouse Nation. He looked much haggard, with huge eye bubbles, and he didn't look like a fighting before. In his address to the people, he openly admitted the government's inability to fight the plague of the undead. "Our efforts to contain this plague have failed. The only thing we can do now is to delay its spread. We will let the plague continue to develop, not try to stop it. That doesn't mean we don't do anything. We will do everything we can to slow the spread of the virus and smooth out the infection curve by limiting contact. We have noticed that not all infected people become living corpses, and some of those infected survive healthy. They gained immunity to the plague. If most of us were to gain this immunity, there would be a herd immunity effect. As we all know, vaccine development is still far away, so the only way to get antibodies is to recover from exposure to the virus and form antibodies on your own. β
Some states in the Lighthouse State do not agree with the Commander-in-Chief and try to impose strict segregation. But the people couldn't stand it anymore. They took to the streets with guns and refused to blockade. A young man declared in front of the camera: "Even if I have the undead plague, I have the undead plague, at the last minute, I will not let the virus stop me from partying!" And it was approved by the majority of young people.
The only hope is in China. Every city, every village has been locked down. People are consciously isolating at home, reducing face-to-face socialization to a minimum. The government has set up large isolation facilities in the suburbs. All infected persons are to be observed and isolated. Coupled with effective Chinese herbal treatment, many patients with mild symptoms have been cured.
Interestingly, those countries with serious epidemics unanimously blamed China and threw the blame on all kinds.
"There is no doubt that nothing can be as if nothing had happened, and we will ask some difficult questions, here about how the plague of the undead broke out, and why it was not stopped in time?"
"They have a responsibility to answer these questions and provide information so that there is clarity on what is going on. It's also because we don't want a repeat of the pandemic. We do need more transparency. It's a good thing that they claim that the epidemic is under control and that the people are out of danger. But when their policies are compared to ours, which is completely open and transparent, there is no transparent way of doing things, and that's a problem. β
There are many similar claims, various accusations of Huaxia concealing the epidemic and delaying the time, and suspecting that the undead plague may have spread from Huaxia, and demanding that a team of experts be organized to investigate thoroughly. They are skeptical of China's anti-epidemic achievements. We call on the public not to be naΓ―ve enough to believe that the fight against the epidemic will be more successful. "It's impossible to compare countries with free information with countries with non-free information."
After reading these news, Nan Xiao suddenly felt that there was nothing to worry about. The motherland is safe, the family is safe, and there is obviously no need to do anything on your own. As for those foreign politicians who refuse to take a good job of epidemic prevention all day long, they have to take their own people into the pit, who cares.
"Let's go," he said to the firefighter who was standing aside, "and we'll go back to Rodland." β
"Okay!"
It's time to solve the final problem, Nan Xiao thought.
