Chapter 540 He still died.
Zhou Liang clicked his tongue twice and asked, "Is it really possible for them to die?"
I said, "You saw the condition of those people inside just now. If the medicine I gave them doesn't work, they might really die."
Zhou Liang nodded and chuckled.
When I saw the corners of his mouth turn up, I was immediately taken aback. This guy must have come up with some plan, otherwise he wouldn't be smiling so sinisterly.
What does he want to do?
Zhou Liang looked at me, glanced around, then pulled me to a corner and whispered in my ear, "Tell me, if I take these three to Chen Tianqi and the others, and they get infected, will Chen Tianqi and the others die?"
I blinked, my lips twitched twice, looked at Zhou Liang, and said, "Do you think you can bring it over?"
Zhou Liang laughed and said, "What's so difficult about that? I have some status in the central town now, so bringing a few people in is no big deal."
"You really intend to kill them now?" I looked at Zhou Liang, not at all thinking he was joking.
When he first told me he was going to kill the raiders, I initially thought he was joking. After all, there were so many raiders, how could he possibly kill them all? But he killed more than two hundred in just two days. This level of ruthlessness is simply outrageous.
So when he said that, I didn't think he was joking at all.
Zhou Liang said, "Why not? Kill them, and Central Town will be mine. Besides, this way I'll save myself a lot of trouble. They all died of illness, it has nothing to do with me, don't you think?"
"..." I was speechless and didn't know what to say.
Zhou Liang smiled and said, "Let's see. Let's make sure these people won't die first. If they won't die, it won't matter if I infect them. As long as we have the medicine, they won't die. Don't you think so?"
I gave a wry smile. "You're right."
Zhou Liang didn't go to see the infected people anymore, probably because he didn't want to get infected.
Zhang Lin was released not long after.
"Where's Zhou Liang? Did he leave?"
I said, "Yes, just now."
Zhang Lincai said, "He won't tell anyone about this, will he?"
I shook my head and said, "Probably not, he understands the interests involved."
The fewer people who know about bird flu, the better. If everyone in the town knew that someone in the town had been infected with bird flu, it would definitely cause an uproar, and who knows what might happen then.
Therefore, the fewer people who know about it, the better.
As for whether Zhou Liang will spread this matter, I don't think so.
The avian flu outbreak was just a sudden event, and he certainly wouldn't change his overall plans because of such a sudden event.
So there's nothing to worry about.
What he just said about using bird flu to kill Chen Tianqi and the others may seem like a joke, but it would be very difficult to actually do it.
Let's wait and see what happens to these three infected people.
Now that I've taken the medicine, I can only wait.
...
The next morning, while I was still asleep, there was a knock on my door.
When I opened the door, I found it was Zhang Lincai.
I rubbed my sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong? It's still so early in the morning, it's not even dawn yet."
I wasn't wearing many clothes, and it's winter now, so when I opened the door, a cold wind was blowing in, and I was shivering all over; I was almost frozen solid.
Zhang Lin was dressed very warmly, but his expression was grim. He said, "Something's happened."
"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing my cheek.
Zhang Lincai said helplessly, "What else could it be? Of course, someone died."
I was stunned for a moment, not remembering anything about bird flu, and asked stupidly, "Who died?"
Zhang Lincai said, "Who else could it be? Of those three, two are dead, and now only one is left."
My expression changed. "Two people are dead?"
"Yes, when I got up this morning, I was surprised to find that two of the three of them had already died. As for the remaining one, judging from his condition, I doubt he will make it through the day. Why don't you go and check on him?"
"Oh, let me get dressed."
After getting dressed, I went out and followed Zhang Lin to the house in the corner of the central town. As soon as I opened the door, I put on a mask and gloves and went inside. After checking on them, I confirmed that two of them were completely dead. I estimated that these two people had only recently died. If they had been dead for too long, they would probably have turned into zombies long ago.
I said to Zhang Lincai, who was outside the door, "Bring a few people over here, and make sure they take proper protective measures. Then carry these two people out and burn them."
"Okay, I understand," Zhang Lincai said, turning to leave.
As for the one who was still alive, he lay on the bed, pale-faced and covered in cold sweat.
When he saw me appear, he opened his eyes, reached out, and tried to grab me.
I instinctively reached out, but ultimately didn't. I wasn't afraid of anything when I was in the hospital, but where am I now? The hygiene here is terrible. If I get infected, won't I die too?
"Doctor..." he called out.
I asked, "I'm here."
He pleaded, "Save me, please, please save me! I don't want to die!"
I didn't know what to say, so I could only say, "Don't worry, I'll find a way to save you, but for now you have to rely on yourself to get through this, understand?"
"Save me..." The guy kept repeating this word, seemingly out of his mind.
I sighed and had no choice but to leave the room.
Not long after, Zhang Lin appeared with a few people. They were all wrapped up tightly, with their heads and hands not showing. After entering the house, they carried out the two dead bodies.
Zhang Lincai asked, "How is the remaining one? Is there any hope?"
I shook my head and said, "He's basically beyond saving. If you want to wait and see, then cremate him when he dies."
Zhang Lin sighed and said, "Why don't we just kill him? Seeing how much pain he's in, I can't bear to do it. It's better to just kill him and be done with it."
I was stunned for a moment, unsure how to answer, but Zhang Lincai's choice wasn't wrong.
I nodded helplessly and said, "Alright then, whatever you say. Oh, and after you've dealt with them, remember to burn this room down too, just in case there's any more infection."
"Okay, I understand."
In the end, Zhang Lincai killed the guy who was still alive, then carried the body out and burned it. As for the room, Zhang Lincai also burned it to the ground. As for what the people in the central town would think, no one knew. Zhang Lincai's final explanation was that it was an accident.
