Chapter 404: Give Me Three Days
Lin Luoran met some epidemic people who had not yet lost their breath on the road, and she hurried to Shencheng in her heart, and she left the medicine powder when she could take care of herself, and forcibly poured the decoction into the comatose ones, and met dozens of people who needed treatment intermittently.
After all, there was a delay, and by the time the three of them arrived in Shencheng, it was already a little dark.
The strange thing is that the torches outside the city walls are bright, but there is no light inside the city. The heavily guarded city is reasonable as a quarantine area. But if you don't provide food, you let the people in the city destroy themselves, and you don't send a doctor to treat it, what kind of quarantine area is it?
No food, no medicine.
Heavy troops surrounded the city, and the original moat and the buffer zone of the city were crowded with civilians. These are not infected, and if there is even the slightest sign of illness, they will be thrown into the city by the soldiers without mercy.
There are only more than 10,000 healthy civilians, but there are 30,000 elite soldiers. The infected people in the city, separated by the high walls, searched all the food they could in the next few days, and they all survived by drinking the water of the wells.
Where Lin Luoran's divine sense was shrouded, he was furious when he learned the truth.
Who said that the rulers of Yingguo are not courageous? This is clearly a very bold force, to gather these civilians infected with the plague together, cut down the grass and eradicate the root of the plague in one fell swoop!
The city walls had already been poured with black oil, which was unrefined oil, and it seemed that the general who led the army was struggling between his conscience and the king's fate, and he did not give the last order to burn the city.
Lin Luoran was glad that he hadn't come too late, but Sang Yu had a bit of a sarcastic taste.
He said, if you change Penglai Country, there is no way to transport food that can feed tens of thousands of people and use medicinal materials in the case of a war on the front line-a fire is burned, blocking the news, but you can push the casualties to Penglai Country, but the high-level of Yingguo This move is time-saving and labor-saving, and it is more ruthless than him.
While she was standing not far away, two more civilians were thrown into the city because of the red spots on their bodies.
There was some commotion in the crowd, but it quickly calmed down again under the threat of the soldiers' glittering swords.
Someone carried a wooden bucket to make porridge. No matter how big or small the earthen bowl in the hands of the commoners is, there is only one spoonful, and the clear soup is low in water, and the rice grains in the porridge can be counted.
A man who was dressed in tattered clothes suddenly dropped his bowl and became angry: "You only drink two meals of rice soup a day, you are going to starve everyone to death!" ”
There is a sparse response, and most of them are people who are slightly better dressed.
Before the catastrophe, these people were rich people with thin assets, who had never lived two meals of gruel a day, nor did they have enough power and money to evacuate Shencheng, and took the lead in making trouble, but the people around them cowered and did not respond as expected.
They have never been the meekness of the people at the bottom who have been oppressed and oppressed... There were already raggedly clad civilians staring at him with sympathetic eyes. The man suddenly had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, the soldier who made porridge sneered, stepped on the bowl he had knocked over, and said coldly: "This person is sick and throws it in." ”
"Yes!"
The rich man in the purple tattered silk shirt looked frightened and said loudly: "I am not sick, don't wronged me!" ”
Cut, everyone says that they are not infected, can this be trusted? The commotion was kept to a certain extent, and the people were accustomed to hearing this kind of disobedience these days, and the rich men were tied with ropes by the small soldiers and lowered into the city from the ladder.
The sound of the soldiers falling to the ground proved that the movements of the soldiers were not gentle.
Lin Luoran didn't plan to look at it anymore, she had already swept through the outside of the city with her divine sense, and there was no Ximei's mother and younger brother in the buffer zone of the moat that lacked water.
They were either driven into the city or died. Let's hope it's the former.
Lin Luoran turned his head:
"Are you going to follow me in, or are you going to stay outside?"
Sang Yu took the initiative to step forward and make his position clear. Jokes, stay outside and drink gruel? He already knew that Lin Luoran could cure the plague, and without the worries of infection, he was still willing to stay with Lin Luoran.
In an environment of water and food shortage, it is the wisest choice to be with an immortal who can conjure water and various foods out of thin air.
Lin Luoran saw him nodding, grabbed his waist and threw it into the city wall, and the residual strength in his hand made Sang Lu, who had recovered his martial arts, quite embarrassed when he landed. Especially when he saw Lin Luoran coming to the city with his sister in his arms, he couldn't help but purse his lips tightly.
This fairy seems to have a pure heart, but she is extremely resentful, which can be seen from her attitude towards the strange little girl and herself. The Seventh Prince, Sang Yu, quietly made a conclusion for Lin Luoran, and was seven points right.
"Look, someone flew in......"
"You've been hungry for a long time, haven't you?"
"Lao Tzu is very sober!"
When Lin Luoran flew into the city, he didn't use the small thousand realms to cover his figure, and was seen clearly by many hungry people, and the civilians talked about it, but the soldiers and officers muttered that these people are crazy, at this time, how can anyone enter the city, unless they don't want to live.
Having said that, the news was reported layer by layer, and the general who led the troops this time was thoughtful.
Someone flew into the city?
He knew that his martial arts had reached a certain peak, and with the support of his internal strength, he could learn light skills such as "going up the ladder", which was similar to walking in the air. Why did such a strong man suddenly come to Shencheng?
The generals were skeptical, allowing people to check whether there were civilians spreading rumors and waiting for an opportunity to mutiny.
The civilians swore by it, but there was something about it. Although the sky was dark, the figure in white Sheng Xue was particularly conspicuous, but there were two small soldiers who saw it with their own eyes, and it was not fabricated by these civilians.
The general's heart was stunned, but his face was calm. He was about to calm the emotions of the civilians as usual, and let out the progress of the imperial doctor's research on the cure for the plague, when a colorful light suddenly burst out in the dark city.
A female voice spread through the thick stone walls outside the city:
"In three days, the burner of the city ...... Die. ”
The general stared at the colored light, what kind of treasure was that? The woman who spoke was a powerful martial artist who had just entered the city, right? It is absurd that a single person can stop a military order!
Civilians are in a hurry, what, to burn the city? Are they going to be burned to death?
The general also had expectations in his heart, counting on what the female martial artist could show her strength...... He didn't want to give the order to burn it at all, this is 40,000 civilians, the people of Yingguo.
A seven-foot man, the sword can only be used to slash enemy soldiers, and should not be used to slaughter civilians.
The general looked at the direction of Shencheng with hope, as if the picture of Liwei in his imagination did not appear, it was still the female voice from before, and he hesitated:
"I need a hundred women who can cook......"
Do you need a woman to come into town? At this juncture, who dares to enter the city, the civilians have retreated. Eventually, however, the women relented, especially those whose families had been imprisoned in the city.
The generals questioned the women, and their families were either dead or locked up in the city.
If they can't escape death, then it's good to reunite the family, right? Some people meditated, and eventually more than 100 women entered the city as well.
"Give me three days...... Save them. ”
More than a hundred women had been put into the city, and the female voice said the last one without a sound, but as if drops of water had been thrown into a hot pan of oil.
Save them?
- Who is she trying to save? Save everyone?
The numb nerves of the civilians were tugged. Is there anyone as humble as them who is willing to save them with his own life? Lie!
Hey, you're lying, aren't you?
How many people wanted to vent this cry of questioning out of their chests, but in the end, it still caused indescribable tears and expectations.
Who would want to die if they could live?
If you can live......
The night wind blew the light of the torches trembled, and the city walls were covered with dark oil, and as soon as it touched the sparks, the city would be engulfed in flames in an instant.
Lin Luoran only has three days, and she has 30,000 people to save.
