Chapter 552: NPC10 in the Natural Disaster Game
So Feng Niang picked up the shovel and pickaxe from the utility room and decided to dig a shelter herself.
Since she had to do it herself, Feng Niang didn't dare start work in the utility room. She was worried that it would be disastrous if it collapsed.
She came to the well in the backyard and planned to dig a small shelter above the water level in the well.
As long as you make sure you don't get infected with germs before the fire burns down the whole town, and protect yourself when the whole town is burning, you should be able to survive and return to your own world.
In the following days, Feng Niang was busy working under the well every day.
The rain gradually stopped and the whole town was now exposed to the sun.
At this time, the condition of the patients in the town was getting worse and worse, which could only be described as horrible.
In some patients, the white pulp on the red rash began to crack, and the mucus that flowed out was as corrosive as sulfuric acid.
A pit was corroded on the skin near the mucus, and then the mucus disappeared, which made people's scalp tingle just by looking at it.
However, this period of time is very short. Once mucus starts to be produced, the patient will develop a high fever within a few hours.
The whole person looked like a roasted shrimp, and his whole body was red.
The news has spread in the town that this disease is the one recorded in the book as Zhuobanli, and all the symptoms of Zhuobanli are described in the book.
After learning the truth, the townspeople's first reaction was to run out of town for help.
But it was too late at this time. The entire town was blocked by the imperial court and no one could leave.
The imperial court sent some medicinal herbs and food to the town entrance.
At first glance, this behavior seemed as if the court had no intention of giving up on them, giving the people in the town a glimmer of hope.
But the more likely possibility is that the court is waiting, waiting for the person who shows complete symptoms of turbid spots to die.
As long as it is confirmed that it is this disease and the entire town is burned to death, people in other places will not think that the court is cruel.
If they really wanted to try to save lives, they should have sent doctors and officials to calm everyone down.
Many smart people in the town also saw through the court's intentions and knew that they could only wait for death in the town.
The whole town was shrouded in an atmosphere of despair and pain.
Because of Zhuobanli's torture, one could hear creepy screams and desperate cries from time to time, which made people feel creepy.
There was no one walking on the streets anymore, and the whole town looked like a forgotten dead city.
Even the medical clinics that usually save lives and heal the wounded have closed their doors and are no longer accepting new patients.
The doctors in the clinic were also helpless. The disease had reached this point and they couldn't even help the patients relieve their pain. They could only watch them suffer.
There are also some people who have just developed a rash and want to knock on the door of the clinic and ask the doctors to save their lives.
The doctors just sat in their rooms silently without saying a word, as if they didn't hear the knock on the door outside.
They have put all the herbs into small packets, and the purpose of these packets is to relieve pain.
All the medicine packs are placed outside the clinic and can be taken at will whenever needed.
There's really nothing else they can do.
People gradually began to die in the town.
Feng Niang had used her spiritual sense to see that the deceased had been placed in the coffin, but three days later, the body melted little by little into black water.
The black water corroded the coffin again and flowed out from it.
Those who saw this scene felt even more desperate when they thought about the same fate they would face after death.
"What sin have we committed? We have this disease and we won't even have a complete body after we die."
"Where is justice? Where is justice? I have lived an honest life and have never done anything bad. Why do I have to suffer such a disaster?
After death, I don’t even have a place to be buried. How can my soul rest in peace? "
The townspeople once again wanted to rush out of the town. Since there were soldiers guarding outside the town, although there was still a barrier between the town and the outside, they could already see the scene outside the town.
Moreover, although the people in the town cannot leave, the attacks from outside the town on the people inside are effective.
So, when the soldiers sealing off the town outside saw someone running out from afar, the leading general immediately ordered his men to shoot arrows.
Many people have actually gone crazy now. It doesn’t matter whether they can get out or not. Even if they are killed by the soldiers, at least they can get some peace of mind and no longer have to suffer the torture of Zhuobanli.
Seeing them breathe their last with smiles on their faces, the soldiers outside turned around silently, their hearts filled with heaviness.
As time went by, most of the people in the town fell ill.
Every day the town is filled with wailing sounds.
In the final days, the wailing became less and less frequent.
Those who were infected, even those with the mildest symptoms, had high fevers.
Feng Niang once again came to the shelter she had made at the bottom of the well.
The place had been dug long ago. Feng Niang dug a hole from the wellhead, 30 centimeters away from the water level.
From the entrance of the cave, there is a passage about three meters long, and at the end of the passage is a cave about ten square meters.
The hole is only 1.2 meters high, which is the same height as the current large vat.
This time Feng Niang came down, she had no plans to go back upstairs.
In the next few days, the whole town might be set on fire at any time, so it is safer to hide here.
So many days have passed, and the cave hasn't collapsed yet. It seems to be safe.
As soon as Feng Niang came down, she took out four large vats that she had prepared earlier and placed them in the four corners of the cave, leaving only a small space for movement in the middle.
The jar was filled with water, and she put saltpeter in the water to make the water freeze into ice.
The height of this tank is just enough to support the top of the cave, so the possibility of the cave collapsing is much smaller.
And even if there was a fire, the cave wouldn't be too hot because the tank was full of ice, which would at least ensure that she survived.
After staying in the cave for one night, it was the twenty-fifth day since the player came to this world.
Early that morning, the county magistrate and a young officer in military uniform stood at the entrance of the town.
The county magistrate had a look of pity on his face, while the general had a tense expression.
The county magistrate looked at the town for a long time, then bowed deeply towards the town with his hands, his voice trembling slightly.
"Dear people in this town, I, Xue, am sorry for all of you.
This evil is coming with great force. In order to prevent more people from suffering, I, Xue, would like to apologize to you all.
I hope that you will be reborn into a good family in your next life. When you meet the judge in the underworld, just say that it was my fault, Xue. When I go to hell, I will never shirk my responsibility."
After saying this, the county magistrate turned to look at the military officer and said to the young general in a low voice: "Captain Wang, give the order."
Captain Wang looked around the town, then at the soldiers holding bows and arrows behind him, and shouted, "Get ready."
