Chapter 1170: The Plague (5)
Upon hearing this news, I immediately ordered someone to see Li Zhong and asked to send someone to Mingcheng to see if there were more people sick there.
Before the people I sent to see Li Zhong returned, Jiang Xue brought me an astonishing news: four or five cities had found such a disease, and tens of thousands of people were sick.
Moreover, these cities with petrification were all occupied by the Li family.
No wonder Li Zhong readily agreed to my request, and signed an agreement with me, if we can't stop the spread of the plague, we don't need to attack the Li family, and the Li family will automatically perish.
No matter what Li Zhong's purpose is, if someone of us is sick, then we must find a way to treat it.
I have killed a lot of people in my life, and the murderous aura of my body is very likely to cause a terrible catastrophe when I ascend to the immortal realm, and now I am looking for someone to treat petrification, if I can save everyone in the city where the disease appears, it is also a great good deed, maybe it can offset some of my killing crimes.
Naturally, this was just a passing thought, and most importantly, I had to find a way to save our own people.
A day later, healers from the God's King's Mansion arrived, and as soon as they entered the Infinite City, they began to work to help treat the growing number of petrification-infected patients.
It's a pity that the doctors who accompany the army or the doctors of the Divine King's Mansion can only delay the death of the infected, but cannot cure them.
Jiang Xue's heavy reward also had little effect, knowing that it was petrification to be treated, and no one came to apply.
He Xian arrived on the fifth day after discovering petrification, and brought her proud disciples, and she was well prepared, and even brought some scientific and technological testing instruments on the oxygen star by the way.
I had a few brief words with them, and because of the urgency of the situation, I asked them to start doing things, and I didn't bother to talk about the old days.
Soon after He Xian arrived, he asked people to tell me that she had no way to treat this disease for the time being, and she needed time to study the condition.
Prior to this, He Xian believed that it was necessary to refine the elixir that would inhibit the deterioration of the disease to prevent the disease from continuing to spread, as well as possible mutations.
This has to have an alchemist here, we don't have anyone who knows alchemy available for the time being, there is really no way, I can only ask my father again to send an alchemist from the Divine King's Mansion over.
The alchemist in the Divine King's Mansion was originally a member of the Gan family, known as Master Gan, and Master Gan served as an alchemist in the Divine King's Mansion before his father became the Divine King, and his qualifications were very old, and he was a respected elder.
Master Gan is very old, and his own realm is not high, so he can come to us now, and he is already fighting with his life.
The pills that Master Gan could refine were all the most ordinary pills, and he couldn't refine the slightly more advanced elixirs.
Perhaps it was God's favor, when I was worried about refining the pill, someone took down the notice we had put up earlier, claiming that he was willing to help us refine the pill.
To my surprise, there was not just one person who took down the notice, but a family.
What I didn't expect even more was that this family was actually the Huo family who lived in Wuji City before and left because of the outbreak of the war.
I know the head of the Huo family, and I have had some contact before.
After knowing that it was the Huo family who took over the alchemy task, I met with the Huo family master for the first time to discuss in detail.
The Huo family master put forward some requests, and I agreed to them one by one, in order to let them refine the pills that He Xian needed as soon as possible, and at the same time help me refine some other higher-level essential pills for combat.
With the elixir, the condition of the sick sergeant will be stabilized, and those who are not sick will be protected.
The Huo family quickly eliminated a large number of people and found a relatively quiet place in Wuji City to start alchemy.
The God King ordered people to send a large number of medicinal herbs and spirit grasses, all of which were handed over to the Huo family, and a large number of pills were refined according to He Xian's intentions and distributed to the army.
With the elixir, the hearts of the army were slightly stable, and the normal order gradually returned to the extremely small city, but the cries of pain of the sick people could still be heard at any time.
At present, the elixir refined can only make the sick person feel a little more comfortable, and there is almost no therapeutic effect on petrification, and the sick soldiers will still die at any time and infect others.
Both the Huo family and Master Gan had to redouble their efforts to refine an elixir that could suppress or even cure petrification as soon as possible.
On the Li Jiajun side, the situation is even worse than ours, they have more sick people and more soldiers who have died.
In several cities occupied by the Li family, the plague was also rampant, and wailing was everywhere.
I got the news that those cities were sealed off by the Li family's order, and they were not allowed to enter or leave, and after a long time, not only would petrification kill the people, but also the lack of necessary food, etc., but also killed many people.
The plague was rampant, and the war between the God King and the Li Jiajun was forced to stop temporarily, and the two sides tacitly kept their distance and agreed on a truce that lasted for several months.
In the face of a catastrophe such as petrification, humanity suddenly became very small, and some things that everyone thought were big things before became no longer important, and no one even mentioned them anymore.
In the small city, there are more and more people suffering from petrification in the army, and preliminary statistics show that seven out of ten people are sick, and they are also on the verge of annihilation.
Jiang Xue and I and the others were also trapped in the small city of Wuji, although there were no symptoms for the time being, but we were worried every day, and we lived like a year.
He Xian ordered her disciples to stay by my side day and night, and let me take various pills every day to prevent petrification, although I don't know if it is effective, but so far, I am still a normal person.
Among the soldiers, there are very few people who do not show symptoms at all, and if we continue like this, we may all die if we don't wait for the right medicine to be developed.
Li Zhong sent people to urge the cure of the disease more than once, and when people saw the situation on our side, they often left without saying a word, for fear that they would also be infected.
I was anxious in my heart, and I went to see the progress of the alchemists every day, and I would also urge He Xian, but it didn't help, after all, petrification was too difficult to treat, and He Xian couldn't develop a good medicine in a short time.
Every day there are soldiers who die, and every day there are cries of pain......
I was helpless, and secretly lamented my insignificance.
In the small city of Wuji, I ordered people to set up a large array, and gather all the sick people in the large array, so as to prevent them from coming into contact with normal people and infect more people.
Outside the extremely small city, I also ordered people to set up a large array, all the soldiers killed by petrification were buried in the large array, if the large array is not destroyed, the petrification should not infect people outside the large array.
Some military doctors and doctors did not escape this catastrophe, they collapsed after suffering from petrification, and did not leave their posts before they died, and even the soldiers who were also sick and on the front line of life and death wept for it.
