Army of the Undead in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 65 The Plague
For a whole few days, Liu Bian and Yu Ji were busy dealing with the disasters and accidents that occurred in the city, and they were extremely tired.However, Hongnong City, which had just had some improvements in population, fell into a deserted place at this time, and the sound of mourning and crying came from time to time.

After the accident that night, the entire snow in Hongnong City melted, and suddenly it became a hot season, and the ground cracked and cracked, sucking up the snow water.At the same time, most of the water sources and rivers in the city dried up overnight, leaving only a few ancient wells still able to produce water for drinking.

So many people died suddenly in the city, which made people panic and feel insecure for a while, worrying that disaster would suddenly befall them.

The sudden rise in temperature was already comparable to midsummer, and the dead bodies began to rot within a day, causing the smell of corpses to linger throughout the city, and another threat quietly approached.

Mosquitoes, flies and other things recovered within a few days, flying and biting everywhere attracted by the smell of corpses.After being bitten, some people who were originally healthy had small black and green sacs on their bodies, which then rotted and festered!
There are also those who feel the pain of the death of their loved ones and still hold the dead body and cry bitterly. Unknowingly, they find that small purple spots begin to grow on the dead body, and then, through physical contact, those spots slowly appear on the body of the living. body!

"The corpse poison is disintegrated, and the plague is raging!" Yu Ji stood on the city wall, looking at the blocked residential area in front of him, and sighed: "According to the report of the spies sent by the old minister, the two cities of Luoyang and Shangdang, which are next to Hongnong The big city was not spared either. There were many inexplicable deaths, and the plague spread in the city. Although there is no news about other distant cities, according to the calculations of the veterans, this is a catastrophe on earth. I am afraid that the entire Han Dynasty Shi Jiangshan will not be spared!"

In front of him, Liu Bian was also frowning and could only sigh.As early as when the plague first appeared, he had urgently ordered those infected people to be separated from normal people to avoid large-scale death.According to the knowledge of the previous life, the plague is actually an acute epidemic infectious disease, which can not only be transmitted through daily contact, but can even be transmitted by mosquitoes, air, etc. It is impossible to prevent it.

Not to mention the sudden arrival of the plague, it spread rapidly. By the time everyone in the city reacted, thousands of people had already been infected.Among them, the [-] Xiongnu captives were all imprisoned in one place, and all of them suffered from the plague, and none of them were spared.

"Since even Luoyang was involved in this disaster, I don't know if Mr. Hua Tuo and Miss Diaochan can purchase food smoothly? If they can't buy food, Hongnong City will starve to death in another month." Liu Bian was a little worried. As he spoke, he remembered what the woman who spared her life to protect him had said before: Lu You starved to death, Yi Zi Yi Si.In front of him, it seemed as if ordinary people were cooking in a pot, and there were little babies inside!
"That old fellow Hua Tuo's medical skills are really good. Now that the plague is raging, he probably won't be able to get out once he enters Luoyang. Everyone is counting on him for help." Yu Ji sneered. , obviously said to wait for Hua Tuo to send food, and I don't know when and what month it will go.

"Young master, food is in short supply, the sky has suddenly turned into a severe drought, and the plague is rampant. According to the old minister, all three thousand Hun captives were infected by the plague. It is a disaster to keep them. It is better to kill them all to avoid future troubles." .” Yu Ji said calmly, as if the names of 3000 people were worthless like chickens and dogs.

"Let's wait for a few days and see if the situation improves. Maybe Mr. Hua Tuo will rush back to Hongnong City in the next few days." Liu Bian thought for a while and said.Since Yu Ji said that Hua Tuo could cure the plague, there might be a glimmer of hope.In the past few days, Yu Ji concocted a lot of talisman water medicines, which could barely suppress the spread of the plague.If Hua Tuo is added, maybe some miracles can be created.

Seeing what Liu Bian said, Yu Ji couldn't say any more, so he had to let him go.

Now that the laborers have been infected by the plague, the digging and drainage project has naturally stopped. The current situation is the same, but there is no other way.

As soon as he returned to the commander's mansion, there was a message from Tanma from the direction of Shangdang: a small group of Yellow Turban soldiers was abandoned by the Guanhai brigade over there because they were infected with the plague. Flowing from the direction of the agricultural city!

The Guanhai army was an extremely powerful force stationed outside the Shangdang, with a total of fifty thousand troops, which caused Zhang Yang, the prefect of the Shangdang, a headache.

If three thousand yellow turban thieves carrying plague diseases were allowed to break into the city, the consequences would be disastrous.Yu Ji's head suddenly became dizzy, and he rushed to find Xu Rongshang to dispatch troops and resist the enemy outside the city, and he didn't care about Liu Bian.

Although Xu Rong is timid and cautious, he is not good at marching and fighting, but he has one advantage: he is good at defending the city.Not only that, but he also has his own unique views on the construction of the city's military defense. After all, this guy has been guarding Hangu Pass all year round, often guarding against the invasion and looting of the Huns cavalry, and he has been battle-tested.

If it's about charging into battle, relying on Liu Bian's current physique, it's not bad, but he can't help you in battle.In this era of cold weapons, tactical formations are very important. Cavalry, infantry, and archers are very particular about the battle position and appearance time, and it is definitely not something that can be learned in just a few days.

After thinking about it, he still decided to go back to the palace to see if Cai Wenji had any good solutions for the current situation.Since the outbreak of the plague, he has been spending time in the commander-in-chief's mansion, and he is also in a state of anxiety. He actually forgot that there is such a think tank-like figure in the city.

The entire Hongnong Palace was also deserted.Yu Ji was worried that Tang Ji would be infected by the plague, so he took her over.Those girl guards were all children of poor families in the city, because many families were implicated in this plague, and Tang Ji was kind-hearted, so she gave them some medicine and food, and asked them to go home and have a look.As a result, there were only three or five servants whose parents had died or who had been orphans since childhood.

The small pond, which was still frozen before, was completely dry at this time, and the soil was cracked into pieces, and it was even hotter under the scorching sun.

Liu Bian went back to the house, just opened the door when he saw light smoke flying, Cai Wenji let out an exclamation, and floated towards the wooden box.

What's wrong?Liu Bian was puzzled. Ordinarily, people like Cai Wenji couldn't see his existence, so she didn't have to worry about being discovered.Why do you want to avoid it?
"My lord, it's you." Cai Wenji obviously sensed Liu Bian's aura, and stopped flying into the wooden box, transforming into a human form from a light smoke.

"My lord, it's you. What's unusual outside the door?" Cai Wenji poked her head out cautiously, as if a demon would rush out from the door at any moment.

"Have you noticed any danger?" Liu Bian frowned. It is definitely not an ordinary existence that can threaten a ghost like Cai Wenji.

Cai Wenji nodded: "Since the young master left that day, I have noticed a very strong tyrannical aura outside the door, which comes and goes, but is not very obvious, which makes me feel very scared instinctively, it seems to be some kind of Fiendish things that can devour ghosts."

Fiendish thing?

Liu Bian picked up the Azure Dragon Saber in the room and walked out the door.

At a glance, there is nothing in the small courtyard, only an ancient well standing alone in the courtyard.

Seeing this ancient well, Liu Bian remembered that an undead soldier had fallen into it, and he wondered what happened now?

Looking down, under the sparkling light, there is a pool of clear water, where is there any dead body?
