Zhang Zicheng was eventually allowed to enter the city under the inspection of their pastor.

If it was in the past, even if this person was really confirmed to be an ordinary person, just because of his scaring outfit, the lord would not risk letting him enter the city, and at most allowed the other party to stay in the village outside the city.

But now it is different from the past, the priests in the city have really limited power to suppress the plague, even if all the priests and nuns in the church are involved in the treatment, at most they can relieve the suffering of some patients, there is no cure, and the plague is still spreading.

Since the plague already exists, and there is only one person on the other side, even if there are any sinister intentions, it will not be worse than the current situation.

Of course, the most important point is that the other party calls himself the plague doctor.

The lord will be a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and if this mysterious man can be of any use, it is good.

The iron gates beneath the stone arches slowly rose as the nooses inside turned, and the people inside and outside the small city were once again circulating.

Although many people turned their curious eyes to Zhang Zicheng, most people still dared to watch from a distance out of fear.

And the lord didn't talk nonsense, and directly sent someone to lead Zhang Zicheng to the area with the most concentrated epidemic in the city, and the lord himself left in a hurry without saying hello after hearing the reports of several subordinates.

"The lord has a lot of work to do, and he doesn't have time to entertain distinguished guests for the time being, so please come with me, and I will take you to the most severely affected area."

A middle-aged man with armor that was obviously brighter than an ordinary soldier, he stood in front of Zhang Zicheng and said to him.

"I'm the captain of the guard of the city of Zant, Bergner, if you find any cure and can't find the lord, you can come to me directly, I usually have a city wall or a watchtower."

Bergner looked to be forty or fifty years old, wearing a helmet, and his face was very stable, but it was inevitably mixed with exhaustion and boredom. And when facing Zhang Zicheng, he brought a trace of expectation.

After the other party finished speaking, he took off his iron boots and began to lead the way on the road in the city.

Zhang Zicheng nodded, and a voice came from the gas helmet: "Okay, Captain Bergner, you can call me ...... Si Chen. ”

Bergner raised an eyebrow, turned back slightly and asked, "That doesn't sound like a Woma name, where are you from?" ”

"A place called Is."

"Is? Haven't heard of it. ”

"A small place."

Isis is actually Earth, the earth, but Zhang Zicheng still makes as many different syllables as possible. The language spoken here is not English, and Zhang Zicheng can be regarded as transliterating the pronunciation of the earth.

Konghuan followed Zhang Zicheng, and the three of them walked on the muddy paths in the city. In fact, it is said that it is a city, but it is just to give a little face to the castle and the limited masonry city wall in the distance, and after Zhang Zicheng walked in, his first feeling was that this was a small village surrounded by log walls.

It is no exaggeration to say that most of the houses here are thatched huts, the ground is muddy and dirty, and you can even see pigs and chickens raised by many people. What's more, because of the limited living space in the city, these animals are crowded together, and the smell can be smelled from afar.

It is only through Xiao Wu's vision that he can see a fairly imposing castle on the other side of the city, and then two rows of wooden houses are built along the castle road.

Together with the large thatched huts in front of you, the whole city is made up of three staircases, and even though the area is small, you can see the class gap at a glance when you look down.

Of course, compared to the thatched huts in the city, there are also large residential areas beside the downhill river beyond the city walls, which is obviously the population that can no longer be squeezed in a small city.

It can be said that the only advantage is that although the ground is muddy, most of it is really just ordinary mud, which was only washed by the rain not long ago, and there is no so-called dregation everywhere on the street.

But even so, the stench of the city can penetrate the nose through the gas helmet...... It was a mixture of swill, mold, animal feces and foot odor.

Zhang Zicheng is okay, the empty ring is about to be stunned, Zhang Zicheng can only say to her: "Why don't you go outside the city?" You can't understand these people anyway. ”

As if he had been amnestied, he nodded hurriedly, covered his mouth and nose, turned his head and ran towards the city gate.

Seeing this, Bergner frowned, and said, "I advise you not to let your female companion leave your side, or at least not to go out of the city, which is very dangerous now. ”

Zhang Zicheng shook his head: "It's okay, she can handle it." ”

The main thing is that there is a small black in the sky, and you can see the figure of the empty ring at any time.

After observing during this period of time, Zhang Zicheng has confirmed that as long as he is not a person who has mastered the manifestation technique like Rego, even if an ordinary soldier is fully armed, he is not his bare-handed opponent in the face of a genetically strengthened empty ring, so he is not as cautious as a nanny.

It's just that Bergner originally had some expectations for Zhang Zicheng's appearance, but seeing that the plague doctor didn't care about the safety of his companion at all, he couldn't tell whether this person didn't care about the girl's life, or he was a fool who thought that the word danger was insulated from himself.

Thus Bergner's attitude immediately became cold, and he no longer spoke out to persuade him. When Zhang Zicheng was brought to the area where the patient was placed, he just said, "I hope you can help us as much as possible." ”

then turned around and left, leaving Zhang Zicheng in place.

Zhang Zicheng didn't care, he walked into the room where the patient was housed, and immediately smelled a strong smell of herbs, barely overpowering the stench on the roads in the city.

In this room, most of the patients simply lay on the straw mats and moaned, and a few nun-like women were busy helping the patients relieve pain and make medicines.

They were stunned by Zhang Zicheng's appearance, and Zhang Zicheng spoke first: "I am a doctor invited by the lord, and I want to see if I can provide some help." ”

The nuns were relieved when they heard this, but they were still busy with their work, either fetching water, or dressing the sick and wrapping bandages, only a slightly older one reluctantly greeted: "I'm sorry, we are seriously understaffed now, and we can't explain the situation to you in detail, if you have any questions, you can ask me directly." ”

Zhang Zicheng nodded, finally observing these patients up close.

It's just that he immediately discovered that the wounds on many patients looked more like knife wounds than some so-called plague.

He wondered, "Didn't you say the plague?" What's going on with these patients? ”

The elderly nun sighed and said, "What else could it be?" It's just a bunch of barbarian pirates, and I've heard that the barbarians alone are not enough, and many new pirates have recently emerged, armed with strange weapons, burning and looting in the nearby villages...... These people are all survivors of those villages. ”

Zhang Zicheng nodded, squinted slightly and asked, "Did those pirates attack this city?" ”

"No, they just surrounded the city for one night and left, I didn't see them, but before leaving, they threw a lot of corpses into the city, and that's when the plague spread."

The nun's face was full of sadness: "At first, we had no experience, and we thought that they were just throwing corpses to intimidate, but after they left, their attack had just begun. ”

Sounds very Mongolian.

But again, pirates...... What Mongolian Navy?

However, Zhang Zicheng also heard some hidden information, that is, in this world, although it looks like the European Middle Ages, it is obvious that it has not experienced the baptism of the Black Death, and it is in a hurry to face the plague, and it has not yet studied enough countermeasures.

At the same time, the existence of the manifestation technique allowed them to barely suppress the complete outbreak of the plague even if they were inexperienced...... I just don't know if it's good or bad.

After all, for a population, a disease with a full lethality rate is not terrible, but a disease with an incubation period and a full contagion rate is dangerous, and the embodiment of those priests is obviously only temporarily and forcibly suppressing the mortality rate.

Zhang Zicheng nodded to the nun in thanks, and then began to crouch down and examine the patient.

It's a test, but it's just a matter of using the super white blood cells hidden in the glove to contact these patients, and then the system starts testing them.

[A number of unknown diseases have been detected, some of which are very similar in composition to gram-negative bacteria, but slightly inferior in protein stability, should this pathogen be named?] 】

Zhang Zicheng asked casually: "What do you call this plague now?" ”

The nun looked up blankly: "Huh? Isn't that ...... Plague? ”

Well, Zhang Zicheng could only say silently: 'Name it ...... Plague A1 bar. ’

Zhang Zicheng didn't have any idea of naming it, so he just called it that, anyway, he could change it if he wanted to, but it was just to provide a title.

Then Zhang Zicheng asked the system in a low voice: "Is there any treatment plan?" ”

Systematic Dao: [The data is insufficient, and only a limited drug synthesis deduction scheme can be provided.] But in that environment, there are no devices in question. Therefore, it is recommended that the host, if they want to be cured, can return to Earth and buy antibiotics directly. 】

It's okay.

Thinking about it, Zhang Zicheng didn't cross directly, he took the initiative to come to this world through the cracked space, and there is an entire earth's industrial system behind him, so he really doesn't need to treat a germ and take antibiotics by himself here.

However, when he heard that antibiotics could directly solve the problem, Zhang Zicheng no longer paid more attention to the so-called plague, and then only needed to buy antibiotics to dilute them in water, and then let the city lord share them with the people in the city. At the same time, measures such as rodent extermination, lice killing, and isolation must be put in place.

Although the patients here look miserable, Zhang Zicheng has seen too many miserable low-dimensional things, and he is indeed a little numb, anyway, he can help in the end.

Zhang Zicheng's attention was focused on other phenomena.

In fact, through Xiao Wu's eyes, he could always see some dark shadows.

Zhang Zicheng had also secretly observed just now, and Bergner and the nuns, as well as the ordinary people in the city, did not seem to see those strange things, even the priests who could use the manifestation technique.

He stared at a dark shadow with his peripheral vision, quietly left the room, and suddenly reached out his hand, grabbed the lower part of the black shadow, and dragged it into the alley behind the ward.

Zhang Zicheng doesn't want to talk to himself like a madman in public, he can communicate with the system at the smallest volume, and others can't hear it when they get close, but it is difficult to ensure his own volume problem when communicating with this thing.

The black shadow suddenly struggled continuously, and Zhang Ziwei didn't expect to be able to catch the other party directly, but he didn't expect that after filling the spiritual energy on the palm of his hand, the feeling of grabbing the other party was like pinching a balloon wrapped in moist toilet paper, and there was a feeling that he could easily tear the other party apart, so he even relaxed his strength.

Zhang Zicheng came to the alley, and finally could carefully look at the other party's appearance in a bright and bright manner......

However, there is nothing to look at, and it is a dark shadow when you look at it in the afterglow, and it is still a black shadow when you look closely.

It's just that this black shadow is a bit like a hazy silhouette of a person with his hands on the sides of his body, and the outline between his shoulders and his head can be faintly seen, and there are some white substances like smoke and mist, floating in the shadow of the 'head', and occasionally for a moment or two, combined into a suspicious facial feature.

"What are you?"

Zhang Zicheng asked out loud.

And the black shadow was still struggling, deaf to Zhang Zicheng's words.

However, Zhang Zicheng noticed a little bit of detail......

That is, this black shadow is not suspended in mid-air out of thin air, and below its thinner and thinner body, there is a faint black thin line.

Zhang Zicheng held the black shadow a little strangely and began to move forward along the thin line under its body.

Occasionally, the thin line would penetrate the wall, and Zhang Zicheng silently sneaked into the room, found the location of the thin line, and continued to track.

Fortunately, the length of the thin black line was not very long, and Zhang Zicheng just passed through two rows of houses and came to the root of the thin line......

A sick man who was hot and lay on the ground unconscious.

Zhang Zicheng suddenly felt that this thing in his hand should not be some so-called soul, right?

What will happen if you stuff the soul that ran out of the other party back in?

Just do it, Zhang Zicheng directly pressed the black shadow in his hand back into the patient's chest.

"Wait, who are you? What are you doing? ”

A nun exclaimed when she saw this. Since this was another ward, the other party did not hear Zhang Zicheng's previous self-introduction.

And before Zhang Zicheng wanted to explain, the patient under his palm suddenly opened his eyes, sat up in shock in his dying illness, kept gasping for breath, and broke out in a cold sweat.

Seeing this, Zhang Zicheng groaned in his heart, did he say that the effect was so immediate?

However, at this moment, Zhang Zicheng suddenly felt that when he had just come to this dimension, that sight with a strong sense of presence reappeared!

This time the gaze didn't flinch in the slightest, and its direction was even clear.

It's right behind Zhang Zicheng's side!

Zhang Zicheng turned his head suddenly, and his eyes were suddenly a little stunned.

It's just because it's a classic image...... Dressed in a black robe and hooded, his whole body was shrouded in pitch black, revealing only a skeletal face and a large scythe behind him.

"Dead ...... Death? ”

It turned out that since he came to this planet, he has been paying attention to himself since he came up, and it turned out to be the legendary god of death.
