Volume 15: The Winner Is King Chapter 1224 The Plague (II)
The wind stopped, the rain stopped, and the whole city was devastated, with collapsed houses, garbage on the streets, and dead rats everywhere. k update
There was no smile on the faces of the common people. They were already poor enough, but the roof leak happened to rain overnight, and this heavy rain lasted for a day, washing away all their small things. Laugh, it's good not to cry to death.
Thinking of that rumor, many people are even more furious. Could there be an even more terrible calamity that awaits them?
As soon as the rain stopped, the soldiers of the Immortal Bird Legion moved in whole to remove the mud, clean up, and sprinkle the amount of quicklime on the streets.
"What are you doing, I won't let you do that. "The man stopped the soldier's work of sprinkling lime.
"We're disinfecting, please don't disturb us. "The soldier is very polite. Before they came out, they had already received orders that they should not quarrel with the people under any circumstances, let alone use knives.
"What is sterilizing, I think you are cursing us. Only the dead are white, and they have made the whole city white, isn't that to curse us to death? ”
"This fellow is not what you think. This is quicklime, which can be sterilized. ”
", I don't believe your nonsense, in short, they can't make Jincheng white. ”
"It's just that these mandalas must not be well-intentioned. ”
"Mandalas, get out of the pool!"
At the same time, almost the same situation happened on the other side. These are not sprinkling lime, but dispensing medicine. As soon as the rain stopped, Hu Wei sent a large number of people out to put out the boiled medicinal soup. He wants to preempt the outbreak of the epidemic and advance the people's anti-drug ability as much as possible.
"We are not sick, why do we need to take medicine. ”
"It's, it's just, I think they're uneasy and kind. These abominable mandalas. I said, how can anyone be so kind to open a porridge factory, they must have a conspiracy. ”
"Hit, hit them. ”
"The mandalas get out of Jincheng, get out of the Chihe Empire, and return my rivers and mountains!"
In various parts of the Golden City, a large number of people are using various reasons and excuses to stop the actions of the Immortal Bird Legion. Whether it's distributing medicine, sprinkling lime, or even cleaning the streets, they are all charged with other intentions. A large number of ordinary people who did not understand the truth were also instigated to stop the movement of the soldiers, and even besieged the soldiers.
Before all the soldiers came out, they received orders from their superiors that they were absolutely not allowed to fight with the common people. The soldiers did it, but the common people were very excessive, they didn't take it seriously, and some soldiers were even beaten to death by them.
"Bang!" Ouyang Shuixian slammed his fist on the table.
"It's too much, it's too much. We helped them so much, and they actually killed our soldiers. I'm going to kill them!"
Ouyang Shuixian had three of his subordinates beaten to death by the common people, and he was really angry. It is the duty of soldiers to die on the battlefield, but it is nothing to let the common people kill them. Ouyang Narcissus couldn't swallow this breath.
"Rou'er, stop!" Hu Wei drank Ouyang Narcissus and said, "This is obviously a ghost behind the scenes of Tianchi Palace." If you go to take revenge on the common people now, won't that make Tianchi Palace's tricks successful?"
"So what, these fools let them die. We were disinfecting and delivering medicine, and instead of appreciating it, they killed and wounded our soldiers. How do you ask me to explain to the soldiers, how to explain to the soldiers' families? ”
Ouyang Shuixian was so excited that tears flowed down. Growing up so big, she has never been wronged like this. Helping people to be beaten up, what is this called? ...,
"Okay, you go out of breath first, don't do this. Didn't you say that I couldn't lose to Tianchi Palace. Leave your business alone, let me take care of it. "Hu Wei will be in a very uncomfortable mood. Bai Suxin's approach is really poisonous, she wants to tie all the people of the entire Jincheng to her chariot.
"Brother Hu Wei, why don't we just withdraw from Jincheng. Staying here, our soldiers are also in great danger. ”
"Withdrawing is absolutely not allowed. Hu Wei shook his head, for a while, Hu Wei really didn't have a good way.
After the heavy rain, it was a sunny day, and a strong pungent stench filled the entire Jincheng. Anyone with a modicum of knowledge can predict that a warm epidemic will definitely break out in this golden city. But the common people did not think so, they were not at all aware that the terrible danger was getting closer and closer to them.
Under the protection of more than 100 soldiers, Hu Wei came to the streets of Jincheng, and after not seeing for a while, he knew that it was absolutely impossible to go on like this.
"Young marshal, are you here to check again? You are such a good man and a good official. Yikes. A man's voice reached Hu Wei's ears far away. Due to the factor of rumors, the people of Jincheng are now very cold to Hu Wei, and I didn't expect that someone would openly greet Hu Wei and say that he was good.
"Thank you, uncle. Hu Wei arched his hand.
"It should be me who thanks you, what you have done for this golden city, we will all remember it. Alas, young marshal, you are busy, I still have some things to deal with. The man shook his head and walked away. He also heard those rumors about being bad for Hu Wei. But he wouldn't believe those things, only the brainless would believe them.
"It turns out that there are still people who understand me. Hu Yuting sighed comfortingly.
"There's a way, Wang Yiwu, you immediately go and bring someone to charge me in the Eastern District. Sprinkle all the lime there, and let them drink medicine if they want to stay, and drive them away if they don't!"
"What about those who don't drink medicine and don't want to leave?" Wang Yiwu asked.
Hu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Then let them die!"
Hu Wei's seizure of the Eastern District and killing people went viral in Jincheng, and many people were scolding Hu Wei, but this time, Hu Wei ignored those scoldings. He sent a large number of people to spread the word that there was a terrible epidemic about to break out in Jincheng, and only Dongcheng could prevent it, so that the common people could go to Dongcheng to take refuge.
After all, Hu Wei still has a certain amount of popularity in Jincheng, some people believe Hu Wei's words and come to the Eastern District, and some people don't believe it, but they have to leave even though they are in the Eastern District. Hu Wei's order is to go, let them go, and if they want to come, they must obey the arrangement of Yiqiē, otherwise they will be driven away.
This is also a matter of no choice, after all, this is not the Mandala Empire, Hu Wei does not have such a high prestige here, and he can't make every ordinary person believe his words, so he can only save those who believe in him.
Jincheng is the largest city in the Chihe Empire, with a total population of more than one million, and because of the war, it has reached a lot of ordinary people, and now there are about 500,000. After three days of hard work, about 50,000 people lived in the East District. These are all people who barely believe in Hu Wei, and the remaining more than 400,000 people, some do not believe in this, some do not have a good impression of Hu Wei, and some are half-convinced, in short, they have no intention of coming to the Eastern District.
Life is one's own, and everyone is responsible for their own choices. At first, Hu Wei was already mentally prepared for this result, except for the ignorance of those people, Hu Wei didn't feel too sad.
On the third day after the heavy rain had passed, Hu Wei had received information that someone in the city was sick. Hu Wei knew that a terrible catastrophe was coming. ...,
"Isolate the entire Eastern Side, and all people in the Eastern Side are not allowed to enter or leave. ”
Hu Wei finally issued a quarantine order, hoping that more people would come in, but those people had clearly made the wrong choice. Now that I'm thinking about getting in, it's impossible to let them in anymore.
On the third day there were only a small number of people who got sick, but on the fifth day there was a huge increase in the number of sick people, and on the seventh day, a large number of people began to die. The whole Golden City, except for the East District, was full of dead people.
Now the common people finally understand who is right. They found out that the East End was the safe place, and they wanted to come in, but it was too late.
"Everyone retreat immediately, or we will use force. At the entrance of the Eastern District, the captain of an immortal bird legion loudly warned the people in the distance.
Now that I want to come in, what did I do earlier?
Under the shadow of death and the drive to survive, those ordinary people ignored the cold and glittering arrows. In their opinion, they can survive by storming the East End.
Yes, the East End could keep them alive, but unfortunately they have missed the opportunity.
"Shoot the arrows!"
"How's it going?" asked Hu Wei, rubbing his reddened eyes. He can explain the feelings of those ordinary people who want to come in, but he can't joke with the lives of 50,000 ordinary people and more than 100,000 soldiers in the Eastern District. Let them bring the virus in, and the East End will be finished.
"After shooting more than 2,000 people, they all withdrew. But they may still come, and there will be more of them. Wang Yiwei said worriedly.
Hu Wei was silent for a while, and said: "I can't let them come again, pass my order, put the cannon on the rack for me, and fire the cannon for me when you see a figure." ”
"Young marshal, isn't this too hateful. Wang Yiwu hesitated. Bombarding ordinary people with cannons will have a great impact on Hu Wei's reputation.
"Only if they are afraid, they will not dare to come again. Go ahead, I'll be responsible for the consequences. Although he knew that his decision was right, it was still painful for Hu Wei to give such an order.
The people outside want to take refuge in the East District, but they don't know that the East District is not so peaceful.
Compared with the large-scale outbreaks in other districts, although there is no such situation in the eastern district, there are still people who are sick. After all, no matter how well prepared you are, the conditions here are still too poor, and it is absolutely impossible to want 200,000 people to have no problems.
"Yesterday we had more than a hundred soldiers fall. Ouyang Narcissus said with a sad face.
"Hmm. Hu Wei nodded and said that he already knew. Most of the soldiers who fell had gone out to publicize the need for ordinary people to come to the Eastern Side.
"Brother Hu Wei, if it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't work. There are already so many people dead outside, even if there is no problem in the Eastern District for the time being, I am afraid that it will not last long. We have to find another way, otherwise every sacrifice will be in vain. ”
"Then what should we do according to your meaning?" Of course, Hu Wei also knew that it would not work like this. He's been thinking about it for the past few days, but now that he doesn't think of a better idea.
"Definitely leaving. Ouyang Shuixian said without hesitation: "Only by staying away from this place can we avoid this disaster." ”
Of course, leaving is the only way, and Hu Wei has known this for a long time. But the question is where they're going. In order to help the people of Jincheng, they have missed the best time to leave, and now they really don't even have a place to go.
Ouyang Narcissus said: "I thought of a place. ”
Ouyang Shuixian knew what Hu Wei was thinking.
"Where?"
"Huang Cheng. Ouyang Narcissus replied.
"Huang Cheng?" Hu Wei was stunned, he hadn't thought about this place. ...,
Yellow City is also a city, but it is an abandoned town.
Huangcheng was once a town of the Bauhinia Dynasty, but eighty years ago, a major earthquake struck there, and the entire town was reduced to ruins overnight. Because the cost of rebuilding was greater than building a new city, the Yellow City was abandoned, and the new town was built twenty miles away, which is now Jincheng.
"Although most of Huangcheng has been destroyed, the water source there is intact, and there is no problem for temporary residents. Ouyang Narcissus gave her reason.
Hu Wei nodded and said, "And those who don't have ordinary people, we won't bring the virus over if we go." Well, it's Huangcheng. Rou'er, you take 10,000 people over first, and sort out as many places where you can live. In addition, to strengthen combat readiness, we must not let people approach. ”
Now that the decision has been made, we must seize the time, and if we continue to do it, we will have bigger problems.
After Ouyang Shuixian left, Hu Wei immediately found Wang Yiwei and other generals, now there are so many people in the Eastern District, it is definitely not just a matter of leaving, and there is still a lot of preparation to evacuate them.
"Huangcheng, young marshal, can people live there, I heard that there was that kind of thing at that time......"
There is a legend of ghosts in Huangcheng, which has always been circulated in the Chihe Empire, and many people have heard of it, so it is not a secret.
Hu Wei waved his hand and said, "Even if there is a ghost, it is not as terrible as the epidemic in front of you." Ouyang Narcissus will arrive in advance, so let's start preparing. ”
Hu Wei grew up in the rivers and lakes since he was a child, so he won't be afraid of those things.
