Chapter 92: Finding the Source
Li Tianrui hurriedly summoned all the battalion and company-level cadres in the Duke's Mansion and asked them to block the entrances to the city. It was demanded that no one should enter the city and not leave the city. The purpose of the blockade is to capture the enemy's spies, and if anyone forcibly wants to leave or enter the city, they will be imprisoned.
At the same time, in order to prevent people in the city from running around and coming into contact with the source of infection or spreading diseases, he arranged for troops to block the main street entrance in the city, dividing the entire Green Forest City into several pieces, and not allowing the residents of the city to cross the blockade casually.
Then he called Anar and asked her to accompany him and the two elves to find those "evil forces", that is, the source of infection with pathogens, and now that the whole city is under the control of the guards, there is naturally no place to enter.
Li Tianrui and Anar both cast a toxin shield on their bodies, and followed Magna around the city, the first place where the evil forces gathered was a grain warehouse, which was taken over by the guards yesterday, but they only had time to seal the warehouse first, and they had not carefully checked the contents of it.
Entering the door, it was a two-story warehouse with sacks of grain piled up on the ground. Magna felt it for a moment and said, "The other source of infection you mentioned is in this house, but it has begun to spread throughout the warehouse, and I can feel the presence of evil forces in everything in the warehouse, I can tell if it's upstairs or downstairs, we have to find it ourselves." ”
"When you say evil power, you mean the existence of demonic bacteria, right?" Li Tianrui said.
"Yes. If you like to call it a germ, it's the Demonic Germ, or the Bacterial Monster. Magna nodded.
"In other words, if a person is sick because of this demonic bacterial infection, you can tell the difference?" asked Li Tianrui.
"I think so, but the demonic bacteria in his body must multiply in sufficient numbers. "Maybe by the time I can feel it, he's not far from getting sick." ”
"It's good to know even a little earlier. Li Tianrui said, "At least we can isolate him as soon as possible and try to let him infect others as little as possible." ”
Magna nodded.
"So all the food in this room is inedible? Anal asked.
"Of course. Anyone who eats this grain will definitely get sick. Magna said.
Anal looked at the mountains of wheat and flour around her, and sighed, "What a waste. ”
A few people walked forward, and Li Tianrui said, "I smell that smell." ”
"Do you hear the sound of droplets?" said Anar. A few people quieted down and listened, and found that there was indeed a very slight ticking sound.
Suddenly, An Lin, an elf with dark vision, said, "Look there. ”
With a wave of his hand, Anar summoned a ball of light that flew into the air, illuminating the ceiling of the dark warehouse, and under the light, a large piece of wood on the ceiling was much darker than the surrounding one, and drops of black water dripped from that location.
"It's that black liquid, and we found it. Li Tianrui said. A few people ran up the stairs to the second floor, and following the growing smell, they moved away a few piles of grain, and found that there was something in the shape of a human hidden in the middle.
It is said to be a humanoid thing, because it is not visible at all, except for the general shape of the body, hands, feet and head, neither the face nor the fingers are gone, it is like a puddle of black jelly or asphalt, and it looks like a melted black snowman.
"That's what it looks like, that's what I mean by black juice. Li Tianrui crouched down and cast a lighting spell, "However, this person has melted more seriously than Bocas, and it is clear that he has been dead for a long time. ”
"I guess he was put here after we found the house where the experiment was conducted. Let's say they have done the demonization of the bacteria in the first house, and then they have successfully completed the first experiment, and then all they have to do is to secure the infected corpses everywhere, right?" Magna said.
"I don't think it's about putting a corpse on people, it's about eating something that causes that disease, right?" said Arnal, "Wouldn't it be nice to take a prisoner and pour that germ on him here?"
Li Tianrui said: "That's true, when we were cleaning the baron's locked room, we found a crystal bottle inside, I think he drank the contents of the crystal bottle to become like this." My guess is that the germs that are emitted through air contact are much slower than drinking them, so we haven't found a large number of infected people yet. ”
"Let's get rid of these first. "Magna prepares to unleash positive energy magic.
"Wait a minute, let me take a sample. It may be useful later when researching ways to deal with the disease. Li Tianrui took out a glass bottle, used his mental power to pick up some black juice and put it into the bottle. Then plug the mouth of the bottle with a long wooden stopper. Then the outside was wrapped in several layers of plastic bags.
Then Magna, An Lin and Anar all released positive energy light balls, and the black liquid on the ground slowly turned gray under the illumination of positive energy, and finally turned into a gray gelatinous substance. Due to the large size of the warehouse, it took them about half an hour to preliminarily clean up the two floors.
"It's hard work everyone, we have to rush to find the next source of infection, I don't know how many such corpses these madmen have laid down. How many people have had the opportunity to come into contact with them in the past two days...... "Li Tianrui couldn't imagine how far this demonic bacterium had spread now, and he could only hope that they were placed in such a place where few people came.
————————————
The second source of infection was that the place was much worse, it was the backyard of a small aristocratic family, and the family had already evacuated here, so the body was left in the yard for two days and no one was found. And this small aristocracy was densely surrounded by a large number of nobles and merchants.
According to this position, it is possible that many people around have already been infected. Li Tianrui and his entourage tried to knock on the surrounding doors, but knocked on three houses in a row only to find that many residents were gone. It wasn't until the fourth house that a butler-like figure finally appeared to open the door.
"Your Excellency, who are you?" the old butler asked cautiously when he saw that several people at the door, including two elves, were imposing.
"I am the chief general of the China Tower Army. There are some things I want to ask you. Li Tianrui said.
"Oh, it turned out to be the Lord of the Tower of China, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. The butler said.
