Chapter 801: Blood Mist
After human testing by volunteers, the Scarlet Church's new blood therapy program was proven to be effective, and the news quickly ignited the desire of people everywhere.
Dogurand has suffered from the animal plague for too long, from 486 to the present 515 years in the Huoyao calendar, in the past 29 years, I don't know how many people have died because of this epidemic, their wives have been separated, and the isolation gate in the epidemic area has become a nightmare for many families.
Now, as long as the ability to immunize against the epidemic is gained through the new blood therapy, the human body will no longer be infected, which means that ordinary people can safely enter and exit the epidemic area, reunite with those who have been locked up in it, and never be separated from each other again.
Even if no family members are isolated in the epidemic area, receiving the new blood therapy means that the body has gained a barrier, even if it is accidentally exposed to the disease-causing agent in the future, there is no need to be afraid.
What's more, the Crimson Church had promised as early as the New Year's feast that the new blood heals would be carried out entirely in the form of charity, without any charge, and that nobles and slaves, as long as they were citizens of Doguland, could be injected with the new purified blood for free.
For ordinary people, if they have free grain and oil collars, their interest will be very high, let alone this kind of thing related to life and safety.
As the headquarters of the Crimson Church, Wangcheng was naturally the first city to promote a new type of blood therapy, and a large number of people had already gathered outside the church, all of whom were people from the city who came to perform the new type of blood therapy.
Previously, there was an enemy of plague beasts in Shamu Town, and a plague beast rushed into the royal city, causing a large number of casualties, and causing many close contacts to be isolated in the epidemic area, which frightened the people.
Even if this is just a small probability of an emergency, no one dares to guarantee that this kind of thing will happen again, so the residents of Wangcheng have a great thirst for new blood therapy, and even have an attitude of pulling at a life-saving straw.
Because of the large number of people, in order to maintain law and order, the personal guard corps stationed in the royal city also sent a large number of men to maintain order in the streets of the city to prevent chaos.
A team of centurians was stationed outside the main site of the Crimson Church, and the centurion in charge of the field command and his lieutenant were standing on a high platform overlooking the crowd.
The centurion narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you ready to receive this new type of blood therapy?" ”
The deputy didn't hesitate: "Of course, it's a good thing to give the body an extra layer of security." I've said hello to my family and given them time to get the new blood therapy as soon as possible, otherwise it would be scary if there was another outbreak of the plague beast. ”
The centurion frowned tightly and said in a deep voice, "I suggest you persuade your family first. ”
The deputy whispered, "What's wrong?" You don't believe in the role of new blood therapy? This was experimented with volunteers. ”
The centurion shook his head and said, "It's not that I don't believe in blood healing itself, I don't believe in human nature. Unless he is a selfless saint, a person must do things for the sake of profit. ”
"The new type of blood therapy is different from the traditional blood therapy, all fees do not charge a single monthly coin, on the surface it is a completely altruistic product, but is this really the case? Would you rather believe that the Archbishop of the Crimson Church is a saint, or would you rather believe that he is plotting something through a new type of blood healing? ”
The deputy was silent for a moment, speechless.
The centurion continued: "Now the king is seriously wounded, and the situation is very unstable ... If I were you, I would send my family out of town first, and then pick them up when things are calm, instead of trusting the Crimson Church in such a hurry. ”
The deputy seemed to be moved, and felt that his decision was very hasty, and said cautiously: "My lord, can I..."
Centurion: "Take a day off and be back on time by 6 a.m. tomorrow morning." ”
The deputy said "yes" gratefully and hurried away.
The centurion's gaze looked at the restless crowd in front of him, and the more agitated the people became, the more solemn his expression became, and he said to himself, "What a disturbing thing..."
...
On the day when the new blood therapy was announced, more than 3,000 people in the Wangcheng area were injected with the new purified blood, and they were like treasures one by one, as if they had become some invulnerable supermen.
Those who didn't make it to the queue were a little disappointed, but they weren't discouraged, they couldn't catch up with the first batch, and the second batch would be rushed when the time came.
In the evening, as the sun sets, the sky is full of light and shadow, as if the two armies of red and black are fighting each other, and as the sun sinks into the horizon, darkness overwhelms the last rays of light and becomes the dominant color in the sky, and night falls.
At night, the duty rotation time of each detachment of the Guards Corps, the soldiers in charge of night duty have already woken up from their naps, changed into standard equipment and went to their posts, ready to take over the tasks of their comrades.
A night soldier came to the junction and was just about to take the guard armband from his companion's hand, but found the other party stiff and frozen in place, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" ”
The companion tilted his head, stared blankly at the night, and his voice trembled a little: "Hey... Look at the moon today..."
The night soldier looked up at the sight of his companions, his expression slowly becoming sluggish.
As night wore on, the moon had risen over the eastern horizon, but unlike the usual bright moon, it was a blood-like scarlet color, and it looked much larger than usual, like a red eye in a deep hole, staring at the world fiercely.
The two soldiers held their breath, almost unable to think in the face of this anomalous celestial phenomenon, and before they could come back to their senses, an even more terrifying mutation appeared.
At some point, their vision became more and more hazy and blurred, and a thick mist appeared around them, enveloping them.
Normally, whether it is morning fog or evening fog, it should just be condensed water vapor, showing a pale white color.
However, at this time, the fog that shrouded the royal city was a bloody scarlet, permeating every street, and the visibility around it was greatly reduced, and it was almost impossible to see anything, except for the blood moon that loomed at the end of the sky.
In addition to the soldiers in charge of the defense of the city, the residents of the royal city also noticed the appearance of the blood mist one after another, and the people in the house closed the windows in fear, took wet towels to plug the gaps, and prevented the blood mist from seeping in, and they were at a loss for what to do in the face of the scarlet outside the window.
Those who are outside have nowhere to avoid but to watch as the blood mist envelops their bodies, and the visibility is so low that they dare not move at all, otherwise if they hit something or fall somewhere, it will only cause more serious damage.
The soldiers of the Guards Legion were suddenly restless, and the sudden appearance of the blood mist brought a great sense of oppression, and everyone seemed to have fallen into a completely unknown world, and more importantly, they didn't know whether this blood mist was some rare natural phenomenon...
Or maybe it's a hidden danger.
