Chapter 270: Man-made Disaster
According to the traceless speculation, the corpse chaser Yang Lin and the corpse collector Fang Daoming appeared in Qingchuan at the same time, which is enough to show that there is an unknown cat hidden in it.
Besides, if it is really a serious disease, why is no one alert when it first appears? Since Chen Shuai, the county magistrate of Qingchuan Town, can personally garrison the town, it means that he is a conscientious parent official.
When the epidemic breaks out, it should be reported to the imperial court or to the relevant officials.
Many factors are mixed in, and Xing Tianze is enough to deduce that the evil disease in Qingchuan Town is definitely not a natural disaster, but a man-made disaster.
Wuxian stood beside Xing Tianze and waited quietly for Liu Yuanwai's answer, while he also paid close attention to the situation in the temple.
Although there are still hundreds of people alive in the temple today, how many of them have contracted the disease and not yet broken out?
If there is a slight carelessness, it is very likely that no one in Qingchuan Town will survive this terrible disease.
Tao Mingxi grabbed the corners of Xing Tianze's clothes tightly with both hands, she had only heard of rabies spreading from person to person in legends even before she crossed over.
The best way is to send a serious illness to surround Qingchuan Town and prevent any of them from coming out, so as to cut off the spread of the disease, and wait until all the people in the town are dead before re-deciding whether Qingchuan Town can be rebuilt, although the move is not humanitarian, but this is the most effective way.
In Tao Mingxi's view, Xing Tianze's desire to cure rabies with manpower is simply a fool's dream.
However, when Tao Mingxi decided to follow Xing Tianze to Qingchuan Town, she didn't think about the possibility of leaving from him.
It took a quarter of an hour for Liu Hu to tell him carefully about the situation in Qingchuan Town, and the first person to be infected with such a vicious disease was a man.
About a month and a half ago, a man suddenly appeared on the streets of the town, fainted on the street at noon, and some people thought it was heat stroke, but in the end, when the surrounding people surrounded him, the man suddenly got up again and began to bite at the people around him.
Wuxian and Xing Tianze listened very seriously, the source of the disease was a man, so where did he contract such a disease?
Could it be that the disease really started in Qingchuan Town? Or was it brought from somewhere else? So why is this one town the only one that has been hit by the outbreak?
Soon Xing Tianze's men cleared out a side hall, and soon all the people who did not have any illness were assigned to safe rooms, but what about the people who threw them down? Is it okay to kill on the spot?
"What are we going to do next? Do you have any specific measures? Xing Tianze turned his head and stared at Wuxi.
The latter shook his head slowly, without a trace can be regarded as full of medical books, but he has never seen a similar situation in any medical books.
He had already examined the condition of several people, but he didn't have any clue, all the meridians of the patient were messed up into a pot of porridge, and there were symptoms of vomiting and fever and cough.
Traceless had already asked about the patients, and everyone said that they had an indescribable discomfort all over their bodies, and they wanted to rush up and bite anyone who looked at them.
"It's the first time I've encountered such a situation in so many years of practicing medicine, and the prince estimates that this time we seem to have encountered a real problem." Traceless's brows furrowed tightly.
"If you listen to me, where is there such a serious matter, if you leave now, it should be too late." Tao Mingxi's eyes were filled with a deep sense of fear.
It can be seen that the impact of zombies on her is particularly strong, so that she can't sleep well at night, and even keeps looking at the surrounding environment when she walks on the road, afraid that the corpse lying on the ground will suddenly get up and bite her.
"Xi'er, don't be afraid, even if you really can't save others with me and Wuxian here, it's more than enough to protect yourself." Xing Tianze gently patted the back of Tao Mingxi's hand.
At this moment, a guard hurriedly ran in from outside: "Lord, Princess, the Traceless Prince's Inn has been attacked by a large number of zombies, and the brothers are now fighting to the death. ”
"How so?" Xing Tianze's brows were directly furrowed.
The inn is a base in Qingchuan Town, and if they are attacked by zombies, they may really have nowhere to go.
And all the supplies, food, and water are all in the inn, so although it is just an ordinary shop, it is still extremely important to them for now.
Just as Xing Tianze was about to bring people back to support, Wuxian stepped in to stop him.
Why didn't the zombie run out last night and attack the inn after he and Xing Tianze were waiting for people to leave? What's more, the two of them also witnessed what the corpse man did last night.
"Pull the tiger out of the mountain or draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle?" Xing Tianze said this coldly.
He also immediately sensed that something was wrong, the corpse chaser said that the people in Qingchuan Town had committed unforgivable crimes, what could be the matter that could involve the people of the entire town?
Now that they've found all the survivors, what if the zombies attack the survivors after they're gone?
If you don't go back to help, will you let the inn be lost?
"Tell the people who went down to dispose of the corpses on the street, thirty people went back to support the inn, remember to pay attention to safety, if you can't defend it, you can leave with the most supplies and water, and the other thirty people come back to protect the townspeople in the temple, and the rest of the people are going to go with me and the prince to other parts of the town to have a look." Without a trace directly issued a series of orders, and after several guards saluted, they quickly turned around and left.
The zombies can find the inn and attack, which means that the corpse chaser or the corpse man has been secretly watching them, as the so-called thief captures the king first.
Only by eliminating the people who control the zombies will the zombies be able to stop all their actions.
"So what should I do? Do I go with you or stay outside the temple? No matter how flexible Tao Mingxi's head is on weekdays, but after all, she is just a woman, and it is normal to be afraid when facing such a thing.
"You follow us along, and I don't feel at ease if I leave you here alone." Xing Tianze said solemnly.
