Chapter 120: A Vignette
"Stop. ”
Shortly after stepping over the isolated defense line formed by Ray's group, the witch suddenly raised her hand and motioned for Magnozhi, Fengyun and Storm, who were following her, to stop.
Originally, Wu was also going to come in, but he was stopped by Storm and Lei and others.
Fengyun, Magnozhi, and Storm immediately stopped.
The Witch had helped the Flame Serpent Tribe eradicate a plague fifty-six years earlier, and she had experience in dealing with it.
Fengyun and the others understood that they should follow her command.
The witch took out a jade bottle from a leather bag she was carrying, poured out four red pills the size of peanuts, lifted the mask, put one in her mouth first, and then handed the other three to Fengyun and the others: "Take it in your mouth, don't swallow it." ”
The three of them did so.
Fengyun felt a bitterness spread rapidly in his mouth, and even ran to his nose, making him feel that his whole person was soaking in bitter water.
"Laneige, take the poison powder. ”
"Yes. ”
Mulanzhi walked in front of Fengyun and motioned for him to put down the basket on his shoulder.
Fengyun put the back basket on the ground, and watched Mulan Zhi open the back basket, his eyes were full of curiosity.
At the first sight of the basket, he wanted to know what was in it.
Storm also poked his head over and looked into the back basket, apparently he was also very curious.
Mulanozhi quickly opened the back basket, and the first thing that caught her eye was two wooden planks, tightly tied together by ropes.
Mulanzhi took out the two planks and continued to look into the back basket. Trying to see what was under the plank, he was disappointed.
There are a lot of things in the basket, but they come either in bags or boxes. It's so tightly sealed that there's no way to see what's inside.
He shifted his gaze to Magnozhi's hand, he didn't know what it had to do with the poison powder in the witch's mouth, and the two didn't go well.
Magnolia untied the rope that bound the formwork, and as the rope was released, Fengyun noticed that what was sandwiched between the two planks was rapidly expanding.
When Mulanozhi removed the top plank, Fengyun saw a ball several circles larger than a human head.
He couldn't tell exactly what it was made of. It's round, you can't see the seams, and it's supposed to be made of some kind of animal offal or something.
A thin bamboo is attached to the ball. Very thin, not as thick as the pinky finger, and at the end of the thin bamboo, there is also a sleeve.
Mulanozhi pulls the sleeve off. Look at her stance. With some effort, the sleeve and the thin bamboo were tightly combined.
Magnozhi looked at the witch.
The witch nodded to her.
Mulanzhi took two steps forward and came to the front of the group.
The witch followed her and motioned for Storm and Storm to follow.
Fengyun and Storm followed, but their eyes were fixed on Mulanzhi, wondering what she would do next.
When she was still about two feet away from the quarantine area, Mulanzhi raised the ball in her hand and pointed the thin bamboo forward. With both hands, I pressed it.
The next moment. A reddish mist erupted from the end of the thin bamboo and spread rapidly, soon reaching Magnozhi.
She didn't hide.
The fog continued to spread, and they came into contact with the witch, Fengyun and storm, and the three of them did not hide.
After the mist came into contact, Fengyun's brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
Almost the second the mist touched him, a hot sensation spread quickly between his mouth and nose.
Masks with charcoal powder can't stop it.
At this time, the pill he held in his mouth took effect, and as soon as the bitterness and the hot came into contact, the bitterness immediately changed and turned into a kind of coolness, just like eating mints.
Immediately afterwards, the coolness and hotness of the bitterness had a neutralizing effect, and the hot feeling quickly disappeared.
"Huh, why isn't there an epidemic?"
Fengyun was lamenting the efficacy of the pill when he heard the witch's surprised voice.
"Wu, what's wrong?"
Fengyun took a step forward and came to the witch's side.
"Nothing, I just felt a little weird. ”
"Strange?"
"Yes. In my experience, after the epidemic spreads, they tend to remain, especially in places where the sick gather, but I have not found anything yet. ”
The witch's face showed an incomprehensible expression, and her eyes began to look around, and suddenly her gaze stopped at her feet.
She dug down her waist, pinched some fine white powder from the ground, held it up to her eyes, and looked at it carefully as she twisted it.
After a while, she raised her head, looked at Fengyun, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, it should be these fine powders that make the plague no longer remain." Where did you find it?"
"It's called lime, it's not natural, it's fired. ”
Before Fengyun, Tyranny replied: "It was originally invented by Yun Xiaozi to build a house, but I didn't expect it to be able to eradicate epidemics. ”
"Oh, yes. Cloud boy, I forgot to ask you. How did you know it could eradicate the disease?"
Storm suddenly remembered something and turned his head to look at Fengyun.
"I didn't know it could eradicate the disease. ”
"You don't know, then why did you let the witch scatter it where the sick had been?"
"When lime is added with water, it releases high heat, and high heat can cause destruction, and I think this may kill the disease, so I let Wu do it. Even if it doesn't work, it doesn't hurt, does it?"
"So you're hitting the ground running. But I have to say, your kid's luck is really good. ”
He shook his head with a violent laugh, as if persuaded by Fengyun.
Fengyun also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
He knew that lime had a disinfectant effect from the news, and asked him to explain how it actually eliminated the disease. It needs to involve the essence of the disease, which is microorganisms.
Make it clear to primitive people and convince them of the existence of microorganisms. He couldn't even think about it.
"Yun, you said that lime was invented by you, and you said that it was fired, so how is it made?"
The witch finally couldn't help but ask.
She was very curious about lime's ability to kill diseases.
The poison powder was something she had to find with a lot of hard work and thousands of attempts.
If she can master how to make lime, she will have a new and useful anti-virus material.
"Making lime is very simple, just put the stone in the fire and burn it. ”
"It's as simple as that?"
"It's as simple as that. ”
"That's not right. I've also burned stones. But why didn't they turn to lime?"
"There are two possibilities, one is that the burning time is not enough, and the temperature has not been reached. The second is that the stone chosen is wrong, not all stones can be fired into lime. ”
"I see. Tell me more about the lime firing process. ”
"Absolutely. But now we're ...... We ......"
"I'm sorry. I forgot, now we have more important things to do. ”
The witch patted her forehead with an embarrassed expression.
"After I eradicate the plague. You should definitely tell me in detail about the process of firing lime. ”
"Definitely. ”
After a small episode passed. The group continued deeper into the quarantine area.
Just in case, the spraying of chemical powder did not stop.
This is what Fengyun insists on.
Lime can destroy viruses, but he is not very confident that it can completely kill them.
Besides, even if the remaining viruses are killed by lime, it is good to add a layer of insurance.
It turns out that Fengyun's caution is not superfluous.
At first, the chemical powder really didn't work, but when the group came to the patient gathering area. It began to work, and the process of killing the virus was clearly presented in front of Fengyun and others.
At this time, Fengyun finally understood.
After Magnozhi's first spraying of chemical poison powder. Why are witches so sure there is no disease left?
After the chemical powder came into contact with the virus, it actually burned, it really burned.
In the process of burning, there was also a crackling sound.
"You don't have to worry. The chemical powder is only eradicating the disease, and it does not produce a real high fever, let alone burn people. ”
The witch's eyes widened when she saw Fengyun and Storm, and she hurriedly explained.
"Stop!"
After the group entered a hospital room, Mulanozhi went to press the ball containing the poison powder, but was stopped by the heavy drink.
"Huh?"
Mulanozhi stopped pressing, glanced at the storm suspiciously, and quickly turned to look at the witch with an inquiring look in her eyes.
"Storm, why did you stop Laneige from spraying poison powder?"
"Before you let Laneige spray poison powder, let each of us take a pill, these patients didn't take the pill, won't spraying the poison powder directly hurt them?"
"I will let everyone take the pill because we are all healthy, and the chemical powder will have a certain effect on us, but the chemical powder will disappear in the process of killing the epidemic. Storm, you don't have to worry. I'm here to save people, not to kill. ”
"I see. Qiuxia, I was wrong. I apologize to you. ”
"No, I don't. I understand you, you are well-intentioned. ”
The witch nodded to Mulanzhi and motioned for her to continue.
Mulanozhi pressed the ball heavily, and a red mist immediately erupted, much thicker than before.
The fog spread rapidly through the room, and then a terrifying situation appeared in the room.
The air, the ground, and especially the patient's body burned.
Seeing this situation, the patients who were originally infected with the epidemic and didn't even have the strength to greet Fengyun and his party screamed one after another, and some even jumped up directly and threw out the flames on their bodies.
Lives were threatened, and they erupted with unprecedented power.
"Don't worry, this is a witch from the Baicao tribe, she is not trying to hurt you, she is killing and eradicating the epidemic, you will not be harmed. ”
Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately stepped forward, raised his voice, and explained.
The panic quickly ended, and it wasn't entirely the violent explanation that worked, but the burning in the room quickly disappeared, and the patient really didn't feel hurt. (To be continued.) )
