Chapter 15 The Plague Spreads
"Since we're all going to die, why not die together? Hahahaha, let's die together! You can't leave either, let's die together!"
Yang's army was very violent. Nearly two thousand people surrounded them. Now the other side was infected with the plague and did not want to communicate well. They could only fight their way out of the bloody situation so that they could survive.
"Sir, this woman is crazy. Don't bother with us. We will leave now."
Among those people there are always healthy and scared ones who slap the crazy woman and then turn around to flatter her.
Everyone now just wants to leave this dangerous place as soon as possible. They are relieved that the other party has surrendered. They are afraid that the other party will lose the desire to live and will just fight to the death. Everyone's life will come to an abrupt end at this moment.
Lin Yue's heart, which had been lifted up, slowly dropped at this moment.
Now, if someone coughs in the team, everyone will become nervous, fearing that they have contracted the plague.
Licking my cracked lips, I felt more and more thirsty. I really wanted to drink water. Yes, water. Water is the easiest to get infected.
The team stopped to rest and prepare to boil water and cook when the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
"Ah! Dead rat!"
“Lots of dead rats!”
The two people fetching water screamed, startling the birds that had already perched there.
"Isn't it just a mouse? You think you're a rich lady, so hypocritical. Go away, what else can you do?"
A middle-aged country woman was carrying a large bucket and kept complaining, with a widow's face as if everyone owed her something.
"You bitch, you scared me to death, what are you doing? Why don't you bring some water over? The officials are all waiting for water, don't even think about being lazy."
A thin girl walked towards the gathering place cautiously, fearing that she would encounter such a horrific scene again.
"There are rats. There are dead rats in front of us. They are dead in an ugly state. I am scared and dare not go there."
After a long time, facing the harsh woman, the little girl chose to refute, even though her voice was very low.
"Auntie, there's a dead mouse here. Look, it's so disgusting!"
Lin Lang covered his nose, obviously disgusted by the stench.
Lin Yue turned her eyes and saw a pile of dead mice. They might have died a long time ago, so all the insects and ants died on them. But the mice were also covered with maggots. The three-centimeter-long white maggots kept wriggling, which was really nauseating.
The key point is that this place is far from the water source and the water here is not drinkable!
"Master Yang, the water here is undrinkable. We must leave immediately. There is definitely a source of plague infection nearby."
In fact, everyone was very dissatisfied with Lin Yue. After walking for a whole day, their backs, feet and hearts ached, and they were reluctant to walk any further.
"You said there was a source of plague nearby. It's just a few dead rats, but you're just exaggerating and trying to show off your abilities."
Chen Xiaoxiao has forgotten the pain now that the wound has healed and is now talking nonsense again.
But she also expressed what most people were thinking, so I didn't say anything to stop her and just let her say it.
Faced with this situation, Lin Yue raised an eyebrow and said, "Sir, you are knowledgeable and experienced. You must know what is the best option in this situation!"
"Pack up your things, light the fire, and get going."
It was an order issued by the God of Death Yang Dajun, and no one dared to refute or oppose it in the slightest.
We encountered more and more dead rats on the road, but this was the only way to go, so we had to go on.
Soon, when passing through a village.
I smelled a foul odor and a rotten smell. Even wearing a mask was of no use. On the contrary, the combination of the two made me even more devastated.
The whitish corpse swelled up, giving it the appearance of a giant, making it difficult to see its original appearance.
There were a lot of dead rats around, and it was obvious that these corpses were the culprit.
Lin Yue got goosebumps and felt uncomfortable all over. Now she really wanted to go to the disinfection room in the end times where all viruses could be eliminated.
Looking at the Lin family members who were covering themselves tightly, they thought, fortunately, they had taken some simple protective measures and were just passing by here. The virus wouldn’t be so aggressive as to infect them!
Everyone walked in silence, their heads down. They admired Lin Yue very much, but also regretted not speaking out to support her before. They could only pray in their hearts that Master Lin Yue would not bear grudges and would share any danger with everyone.
Every time I pass by a place where humans gather, I feel nervous, afraid of being infected, but the more I fear something, the more likely it is to happen!
"Cough, cough, cough!"
The sound was muffled as he covered his mouth, but it was obvious in the silent team. The person next to him jumped away immediately as a reflex.
"Wind chill?"
The person next to him asked cautiously.
"Yes, it is."
The person who was coughing nodded immediately, which was more like a quibble.
"Your face is so red, how could you have caught a cold?"
They looked at each other suspiciously. The other party's eyes were sincere, but now everyone had become a frightened bird.
"Sir, this man has a fever. I suspect he's infected with the plague, but he lied to me and said he had a cold. Sir, you must punish him severely."
Sun Bing has been feeling increasingly unwell these days. Last night, he had a fever for no reason, and his throat was itchy and he kept wanting to cough. Today, he finally couldn't help coughing out loud and covered his mouth with his hands. However, the people around him still heard it, and everyone knew about it.
"Kill this man, kill him, or we will all be infected with the plague."
Someone immediately clamored to deal with Sun Bing, saying that he was so selfish and cold-hearted.
"Killing him would be too cruel. Leave him here and let's move on. There's no need to dirty your hands for a mortal."
"Let him follow at the end of the team. If he survives the disease, he can rejoin the team. If he doesn't, it's his fate!"
"No, there are so many of us. If we put a firecracker that could explode at any time in the team, what if everyone gets infected?"
Since it concerned their own safety, everyone expressed their opinions and soon a quarrel broke out.
The people of the Sun family didn't even dare to fart, for fear of implicating themselves.
The Lin family members were fully armed these days, with only their eyes exposed. All 25 people, adults and children, were safe and sound.
"Sir, what do you say we should do?"
Since no one could convince the other party, they had to ask for help from outside.
"Just stay at the back of the group, at least two hundred meters. That way you can see the group and don't have to worry about spreading the disease to everyone else. From now on, everyone who has symptoms of the epidemic should stay two hundred meters away from the group and receive the same treatment."
Erhu had received instructions from the boss a long time ago, which shows that he was mentally prepared for the epidemic to spread to the team.
Kyoto, thousands of miles away.
Heavy snow fell beneath the towering city walls.
There are many small thatched houses standing there, densely packed.
Countless refugees huddled inside, wailing, cursing, and hoping.
