Chapter 339: The Runaway Plague
In the world of the dead, the passage of time, compared to the previous steady and slow development, the changes that have taken place now can be said to be huge.
The Foundation has re-contained the plague doctor, but it would be more accurate to describe it in terms of repression than the word containment.
The Plague Doctor's lab is used as a shelter and is manned 24 hours a day by task forces, with the exception of selected researchers who speak with the Plague Doctor via in-lab communication devices.
The rest of the people are not allowed to talk to each other either through a communication device or through a communication device.
The reason why the word "specific" is added in front of the researcher who can talk to the plague doctor is because the plague doctor is almost out of control.
The vast majority of people were infected with the kind of plague he could understand.
Any contact with the plague doctor in any way would make him extremely irritable, and his eyes under the mask would turn bloodshot.
There is simply no way to communicate effectively, and this is becoming more and more evident over time.
And what became obvious was that the plague was quietly blooming everywhere at some point.
From not many people cared about it at the beginning, it has now become a big problem.
This forced the Foundation's researchers to combine the changes in the plague that had taken place in the world with the out-of-control situation of the plague doctors.
Although there is not necessarily a necessary connection, there will certainly be an indirect relationship.
On top of a polished smooth, mirror-like hedron.
There was no reflection on it, but rather a clutter of the room and the corpses in it.
Several specific researchers were gathered around, and this was a magical technology similar to monitoring created by the use of dimensional stones and magical energy.
Naturally, the image is the laboratory that temporarily houses the plague doctor.
In the atmosphere of nervous waiting for several researchers, about five or six minutes passed.
There was a murmur of rustling from the frame, followed by a slow, chaotic sound of footsteps.
A man in a leather jacket and a beak mask was the first to enter the room from the outside, appearing within the frame of the magic energy monitor.
Before the nervous researcher could speak, the plague doctor spoke to himself:
"I said, doctors, is it really good to exchange scholarship in this way?"
"Why don't you let me out, the situation is really urgent now, and the plague has begun to spread."
"I think you need my help too, after all, you don't want to be infected by the plague, do you?"
"Maybe we'll be able to figure out an antidote? At the very least, I can do a minor operation on the infected to help them end the plague entanglement. ”
"You see, I have so many success stories here."
As the words fell, from outside the door of the back room, more than a dozen humans walked in one after another.
Covered in blood and sluggish, it was more like a body without a soul than a human being.
This is the state of healing after the plague doctor's surgery, but he is the only one who thinks that this is called a cure.
The researchers who were gathered outside the surveillance screen naturally knew that this was no different from death.
One of the researchers interjected impatiently, "Don't talk about that, we all know that this is not really an effective cure for the plague. ”
"You tell us directly, what is the plague now, how do you know that the plague has spread, and what is the connection with this plague?"
The Plague Doctor bent down slightly, and although he couldn't see the expression on his face, he could still tell from his body movements that he looked a little helpless or speechless.
"I told you before that this plague has something to do with this world, and this world has been polluted."
"Now the plague is spreading further, isn't it? Even if I stayed here, I could smell the filthy smell of plague wafting outside. ”
"If you don't let me out to study, if you want to put an end to this plague, maybe you can start by destroying the world."
After saying that, the plague doctor no longer stood there, but took a scalpel from his waist, walked to the corpse in the corner, and began to go about his business.
The researcher outside was anxious: "Plague doctor, if you don't plan to tell more news, it's absolutely impossible to get out of there!" ”
The Plague Doctor ignored them and left the room after cutting something off the corpse.
"Grass! Again, he won't reveal anything! ”
One of the researchers threw an unpleasant punch into the air.
They began to try to contact the plague doctor after the plague began to show obvious signs of spreading.
But each time they didn't get useful information, and now that the plague was spreading, they had become an important breakthrough here.
"Could it be that he really doesn't know?"
"How is this possible! There must be something wrong with him, or else it has something to do with the legendary abomination. ”
At the mention of the word abomination, all the researchers fell silent for a moment, abomination is not an ordinary existence.
"It's all said above, it's uncertain, according to the records, abomination has existed since the early days of our city, but why is the plague breaking out now?"
"Even the group of crazy people who believe in abomination don't believe that this is caused by abomination."
"Isn't that going to ...... Is it a more terrifying being than an abomination? ”
Everyone was silent again, the world was so unknown to them.
A city created with the aim of discovering the truth of this world, but so far there has not been much progress.
In the course of history, there have been many major events, which have caused their living environment to become even worse, and they have also been accompanied by the emergence of new unknown existences that have not been seen or recorded before.
Therefore, the current situation cannot be ruled out......
Not only were they looking for a breakthrough from the plague doctors, but so were the investigators and the potions masters in the church.
"Well, if the plague continues to get worse like this, and there is no other breakthrough... The only way to do this is to follow the instructions of the upper echelons and release the plague doctor. ”
……
The city, the streets, the bustle is gone, only a few pedestrians pass by in a hurry, and their faces are all wearing masks.
A pair of eyes looked out from the glass of the house on both sides, and a City Guard car drove by.
"Attention all residents, as soon as they find someone infected with the plague, report it immediately."
"Attention all residents, as soon as they find someone infected with the plague, report it immediately."
The personnel on the vehicle roared loudly with their horns.
Compared to the big cities with prevention and control, in the remote towns, it has become a hotbed of plague.
