The Runaway Princess: The Story of the Moon

Chapter 135 Suspected Smallpox
"Wait, Ade, what do you mean by burning the city?"

After listening to Ade's description, the more I listened, the more I felt that the infectious disease he was talking about was smallpox.It is said that smallpox was really harmful in ancient times.In fact, not only in ancient times, but even in modern times, smallpox still caused the death of many people.Whether it is China or foreign countries, there are countless people who have suffered from it. In the 18th century, smallpox spread across Europe, killing more than 1 million people.Fortunately, there is now a cure for smallpox.Every child is vaccinated against smallpox at birth.However, what caught my attention more now was the burning of the city.Burning the city, it won't be the burning city I imagined.

"Ma'am, burning the city means setting fire to burn down the entire city of Cangyang."

"Does that... include people in the city?"
"Yes. In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, there is no other way."
"What can't be done, it's too cruel!" I couldn't listen anymore, "Yunxuan, didn't you say that the emperor of Nanling is a Mingjun, but now he wants to set fire to the people, how can this be a Mingjun?" What to do!"

"Yueya, calm down. I know you are worried about the safety of the people, but there is really no way out. You think, if the epidemic spreads, more people will be infected. By then More people will just die."

I know, of course I know how fast smallpox spreads.It is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. According to statistics, if 3000 people in Oklahoma are infected with smallpox, the virus will spread to all parts of the United States within 12 days, affecting millions of people. .But now, people are being burned alive. This is really unimaginable to me.

"Yunxuan, we can't let it go. I can't watch those people being burned to death like this. Besides, some of them were not infected, and some of them survived after being infected. Are these people going to die too? How can this be, they are just sick, they have done nothing wrong, how can they be sentenced to death like this. Maybe, maybe soon a cure will be found!"

"No, Yueyue, I can't let you take risks." Yun Xuan refused to agree.

"Yunxuan, listen to me, I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, I won't be infected. And maybe I can cure them."

"I still can't promise, what if you are infected."

"I really won't be infected, can you trust me?" I won't be infected. In our era, smallpox has already been cured.I have been vaccinated since birth, there is no way I could be infected. "

"No! Yueyaoer, I can promise you anything, but not this one!"
