Many people in the disaster-stricken areas did not want to be quarantined and started making trouble.
These days, we saw them taking away people who had fever and were confused. At first, no one paid too much attention to it, thinking that they were being taken for centralized treatment.
Later, when they heard that they had been infected with the plague and that people with symptoms needed to be sent to quarantine areas, these people began to panic.
Who hasn't heard of the plague? It is a very serious infectious disease with almost no cure. Once infected, death is almost certain.
Now the victims saw that the guards were trying to forcibly take them to isolation, and they resisted desperately. After a while, many people started fighting.
"We don't have the plague. Why do you want to isolate us? You deserve to die. All of you deserve to die."
"Yes, we don't want to isolate them. Beat them to death, beat them to death..."
The victims were brave and enthusiastic, and none of them wanted to be taken away for quarantine, as once they were quarantined they would just have to wait for death.
There were so many victims, and even if the dozen or so guards knew some martial arts, they could not beat four hands with two fists. With so many victims rushing forward, even if the guards had good martial arts skills, they could not withstand so many people.
During the fight, all the guards' masks were torn off. Some of them even felt that they were about to die, and because they were unwilling to accept the consequences, they attacked the guards brutally.
He also scratched their faces desperately, as if he wanted to infect them with this damn plague as well.
Those patrolling nearby wanted to come over and stop it when they saw the situation, but there were too many victims, all huddled together, and their small number of people could not make much of a difference. Instead, it would arouse the resentment of the victims.
The commander of the guards quickly sent someone to find someone to help, and reported what had happened here to the Fourth Prince and Lord Longkodo.
The Fourth Master is discussing countermeasures with Longkodo, because both of them are willing to put aside their previous grudges due to the sudden epidemic.
The most important thing now is to come up with a countermeasure, otherwise the people here and they will all die.
The most important thing now is to control the spread of the plague, otherwise all the people in the city will suffer.
Now every day, disaster victims and ordinary people are suffering from fever and rashes. After all, the doctors here have limited medical skills, and now they can only control it by fumigating with mugwort and sprinkling lime powder every day.
But these are not the main issues. The most important thing is to formulate a prescription to treat the plague in time.
As the two were discussing, a guard wearing a facial mask ran in.
He knelt on one knee in front of them, clasping his fists, and spoke quickly, "Fourth Prince, Lord Longkodo, there's a commotion in the disaster area."
"What?"
Both of them were a little surprised.
The Fourth Master frowned slightly, his face expressionless as he asked, "What's going on? Explain it in detail."
"I was patrolling outside when I heard a commotion in the disaster area. I went over to take a look and saw chaos. Everyone said they didn't want to be taken away for quarantine... and then a fight broke out between the victims and the guards."
"What's the situation now?" asked the Fourth Master.
"When I returned, the commander had already sent someone over. I don't know what the current situation is."
The Fourth Master stood up, and Longkodo stood up as well.
"I'll go take a look."
Longkodo stared at him in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
When Su Peisheng heard this, he shuddered all over and hurried out to stop it.
"Master, you can't do that. The disaster-stricken area is very dangerous now. If you... you can't do that." Su Peisheng advised earnestly. The master must not be infected.
"Fourth Prince, let me go." Although Longkodo didn't want to go, after all, it was very dangerous there, but he couldn't let the fourth prince take all the credit.
He was the one who handled all the previous matters, and now there is no time for him to do anything.
As long as he takes good precautions and doesn't get too close to them, there will be no problem.
"Uncle wants to go." The Fourth Master was a little surprised that his uncle would say this now.
"Yes, I am willing to go." He has been a soldier all his life and has seen countless of these people. He doesn't take them seriously, so it is not difficult to make them obey.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, uncle."
The Fourth Master also knew that things had different priorities. The reason they could talk like this now was because everyone wanted to go back alive.
If it weren't for this, the Fourth Master would not bother to pay attention to him. You know, it was he who sent people to destroy the previous batch of food and grass.
"Yes." Longkodo bowed and went down to prepare.
Longkodo was indeed quite capable. He took good protective measures, covering his face with three layers of cotton cloth, leaving only his eyes exposed.
He carried four or five epidemic prevention pouches around his waist and walked quickly towards the disaster-stricken area with his guards.
At this time, the victims were noisy and everything was in chaos.
When Longkodo arrived here, he frowned and did not go in. Instead, he stopped about fifty meters away from them.
Then he waved his hand, and the guards he brought with him went into attack mode, pointing their arrows at the victims who were making trouble.
Then he took a crossbow and shot at the legs and hands of several people.
"ah……"
Several victims were beating the guards when they were suddenly injured in the arms by arrows shot from crossbows.
Longkodo did not stop and continued to point his crossbow at the other victims who were fighting.
"ah……"
Several people were shot, but none of them were fatal.
"Stop right there, or the next arrow will be aimed at your heads." Longkodo's voice was so loud that the victims who were beating the guards crazily stopped subconsciously when they heard his voice.
When they looked up, they saw guards all around with bows and arrows pointing at them.
Everyone looked terrified when they saw this, especially when they saw several people who were shot by arrows and fell to the ground, covering their wounds and wailing in pain.
"All of you, behave yourself. If you don't want to die, obey my orders. Otherwise, don't blame me for being blind with my bow and arrow."
"Why should we listen to you? We don't have the plague. You're forcing us to live with those people and you're forcing us to die."
“We are determined not to isolate.”
A leading man with a slight rash on his body looked at Longkodo angrily.
“Yes, we don’t isolate, we don’t isolate…”
The victims were outraged, and everyone said that isolation was impossible.
Longkodo didn't want to waste any more time talking to them, so he just took the crossbow and shot at the arm of the man who had just spoken.
The man wailed, covering his arm that was injured by the arrow, his eyes full of resentment.
The man shouted indignantly, "Why are you shooting arrows at us? Is it because you are in such high positions and have so much power that you don't treat us as human beings? If you hadn't embezzled the money used to build the dam, how could this flood have breached the dam?"
"How could so many of us be homeless... We are in this situation because of you. What gives you the right to attack us?"
"Yes, why, why..."
