Chapter 507 Virtual Disease
Illness?This word sounded strange to Bai Lang.

Liu Xu hurriedly said: "Zu Dao, this is the news that Zhou Dong sent last night. The content has actually been collected for several months. It's just that the situation has become increasingly serious recently, so it is sent as an urgent message.

And this "deficiency disease" actually doesn't just appear. A doctor actually talked about it more than half a year ago. However, not many people had this symptom at that time. Everyone thought it was a common illness or wind-heat. Or it's a dietary issue.

Later, there were more and more people on the north bank of Changshui River, and they had obvious special symptoms, so they got a special name called "virtual disease".This time, the "virtual disease" has already begun to develop towards the south bank of our Changshui River. "

"Is it a plague?" Bailang frowned.The plague would be very troublesome.Especially in the current situation of war and disorder, once a plague breaks out on a large scale, it is basically impossible to control it.Even if there is a natural barrier like Changshui blocking it, it will only delay it a little.

But Liu Xu shook his head and said: "We asked many doctors, and we felt from the beginning that this disease is not like a plague. Because the plague is passed from person to person, but this "virtual disease" is not like this, it is caused by everyone. The disease suddenly occurred at the same time, and there was no point-to-surface spread."

Bailang listened and read the news carefully. After reading it several times, his frown deepened.

Indeed, as Liu Xu said just now, this "virtual disease" really looks weird, and it is very different from the plague in common sense.For a while, Bai Lang couldn't figure out what kind of disease this was.

It is not contagious, but it can occur in patches.After the onset of the disease, he will first feel weak, then have difficulty breathing, then collapse and various hallucinations will occur, and finally he will have a splitting headache and die.The entire process is not quick, lasting ten to fifteen days from start to death.The last five days can be very painful, and many patients choose to learn about themselves to end this torture.

Moreover, this disease does not distinguish between men, women, old or young, nor does it depend on whether the person is in good health or not. Anyway, once targeted, an 80-year-old man is in the same condition as a 20-year-old man. There are no exceptions and no one survives.

"What do you say?"

"Zuo Zuo said he couldn't find the cause of death. The doctor said he died of exhaustion." Liu Xu secretly thought that he was lucky. Fortunately, Zhou Zhou was reliable at work and actually asked Wu Zuo and the doctor to check the body. Otherwise, Zuodao would really ask him now. Don't know how to answer.

Bai Lang pondered for a moment and said, "We can't find the cause of death, which means that the organs and body are intact. The doctor said that he died from exhaustion, so it must be related to Qi. Let's go check it out with the people in the inn. Look carefully at not only the corpses, but also those who are sick and those who are dying.

This matter is very important and must not be careless.Even if you can’t figure out the cause of the disease, you still need to figure out the cause of death.Otherwise, it will be troublesome if we don't have a way to deal with it when it really affects us.

At the same time, Zhou Dong was asked to continue to go north to explore the news. How far the barbarians have retreated now, and where are the royal family of the Hong Dynasty and the Imperial Yunzong. These must be found out as soon as possible.Now we have to add this matter of "virtual illness".

If there are not enough people, you can let Zhou Dong make the decision to recruit people, but things cannot slow down. "

"My subordinate understands."

Closing the book, Bai Lang leaned back in his chair and continued to ask: "Where are those rebels? Are there any powerful forces appearing now?"

Liu Xu said: "The top management of Daomen Village have calmed down after we cleaned them up. They are still undergoing internal purges. It may take some time to restart expansion. As for the large and small rebels and refugees north of Changshui The forces are already annexing each other. Two of them are quite powerful, and they have recently been approaching Yongchuan City."

"Oh? Join forces to grab the territory?" Bai Lang smiled when he heard this.Liu Xu was also laughing.After all, in the eyes of today's knife studio, neither rebels nor refugees are considered threats.After all, a force that lacks Qi practitioners is nothing more than a group of sheep at best.

"Zuodao Mingjian, it is indeed the case. Now the internal changes in Daomen Village should have spread. Now the two forces should be joining forces to take over Yongchuan City."

"Pay close attention to this aspect, and if necessary, ask the people in the inner hall to move. A group of rabble will disperse on its own without a leader, so there is nothing to worry about.

Speaking of the inner hall, the five people selected in the first round have almost finished their training.Ask Yang Xiu to screen out five more and add himself.

The rules for screening people are still the same.To know the basics, one must have an old hand. "

"Don't worry, Zu Dao. I will work with Yang Hongdao to ensure that no one with evil intentions gets in." After a pause, a trace of melancholy flashed across Liu Xu's face, and finally he lowered his head and spoke: " Zuodao, there is another matter regarding the current employment of the knife studio, and I would like to ask Zuodao to make a decision."

"Huh? What's the matter?" Seeing Liu Xu's hesitant look, Bai Lang was stunned for a moment, but then he guessed something.

"It's about the shortage of people everywhere in Yongchuan City. Many red swords in the sword hall are still idle. Do you think we can let them contribute?"

Bailang smiled and said: "Master Liu, are you going to guarantee them? Yang Xiuke complained bitterly in front of me before, saying that I was trapped in the White Bone Peak for nearly a year and faced Daomen Village. Due to the oppression of Funiu Mountain, many red swordsmen appear to be two-faced and even do nothing to the best of their ability. Although they are not rebellious, they can't talk about sticking to the interests of the swordsmanship hall. It's not that I have forgotten this, but that they are left hanging now. Waiting for you to give me a punishment plan.

Who deserves to be killed and who deserves to be rewarded.You have to know who can be reused.

But Mr. Liu, I’m afraid it’s inappropriate for you to ask me for a job with your head covered like this, right?Not all of these people are loyal to the sword shop. "

Bai Lang was smiling and his words were gentle, but in Liu Xu's ears it was as biting as the cold wind, and his legs went weak and he knelt down.I wanted to defend myself, but when the words reached my throat, I found that I was shaking so hard that I couldn't speak. I could only kowtow and didn't dare to stop even if my head was broken.

Only then did Liu Xu realize what a stupid mistake he had made.He actually thought that his silence was because he didn't mind the behavior of those people in the past, and thought that he could find a job to pay for his crimes. After all, they were all his brothers. Who could use these people if he didn't need them?
But now Liu Xu remembered that in front of his swordsman, the only "one of his own" was those who supported him hard, and he never thought that all the people in the knife studio were "one of his own."

"Master Liu, I understand that you have a relationship and can't shirk it. This is normal, but it's just this one time, and it won't be the same next time." Bai Lang watched Liu Xu kowtow to the ground for thirty or forty times, and then waved his hand to help him up when his head was bleeding. .

"Thank you for your kindness! Three days! In three days, my subordinates will definitely clean up all the two-faced guys in the knife studio!"

"Well, if you want to kill, you must kill them all. The sword shop will have some new development soon, and we must not have any hidden dangers internally."
