The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 933 Zombie Chaos 2
Under the current communication conditions, it is by no means a simple matter to issue an edict to the whole country, even if it is only issued to the county government level.

The imperial decree was first transferred to the counties, then transferred from the counties to the prefectures, and then transferred from the prefectures to the counties.

When the time came to March [-], the imperial decree ordering the implementation of "control" across the country finally reached Lingqing Mansion in Hengshan County.

The distance between here and the capital is only [-] miles, but it took half a month to deliver the imperial decree, because the current traffic situation is really bad.

"There will be a major epidemic in the whole country, which is caused by meteorites. It is inevitable..."

When Li Zhifu said this, he obviously felt that the content of the imperial decree was absurd, which is also in line with the thinking of normal people.

If you want him to really believe it, you have to rely on other news to corroborate it. Unfortunately, these news are too slow to pass.

Of course, the imperial edict is an imperial edict after all, and the prefect Li did not dare to defy it openly, so he sent someone to convey it to the counties under his rule.

Due to the mountains in Lingqing Mansion, the six counties under its rule are extremely closed, and it will take at least three to five days for the news to be delivered.

Five days passed quickly, and Zhifu Li, who was sitting in the study, was puzzled because none of the messengers he sent came back.

"The surrounding area of ​​the official road has not been peaceful in the past two years. Could it be that something happened?"

"Even if something happens...it shouldn't all happen..."

Thinking of this, Li Zhifu felt that something was wrong.

Of course, due to the limitations of his thinking, he still didn't connect with the content of the imperial decree.

"My lord, someone from the governor's yamen has arrived..."

Hearing this, Li Zhifu quickly said: "Please serve tea in the second hall, I will be there soon!"

However, a voice came from outside: "Master Li, come out quickly, there is something urgent..."

People from the governor's yamen actually broke into the back house, which is too rude.

When he heard that the latter said something urgent, Li Zhifu had no time to complain, and immediately got up and walked out of the study.

"So it's Master Zhang..."

"Master Li, have you passed down the decree passed down a few days ago?"

"You mean about the pandemic?"

"Is it passed on?" Master Zhang asked hurriedly.

"Passed!"

"Then why is Lingqing Prefecture still in such a loose situation?"

Hearing this, Li Zhifu said helplessly: "Master Zhang, do you really believe that there is a great epidemic from heaven?"

"It's true. Three days ago in Wuliang County, there was an epidemic, and people infected with the epidemic would bite everyone..."

Mr. Zhang spoke eloquently, which made Li Zhifu's eyes widen.

"My lord, are these true?"

Seeing his unbelievable expression, Mr. Zhang said solemnly: "I'm afraid that the situation in each prefecture is more serious than what I said, except for Lingqing Mansion... Shanjin Mansion and Lu Xi Mansion to the north are also gone in three days News exchange!"

"Ah... this..." Li Zhifu was shocked and almost lost his footing for a moment.

"My lord, to be honest, I have ruled several counties, and there has been no news for a few days..."

Hearing this, Mr. Zhang couldn't help being stunned, and then said: "If something has happened, then I'm really lucky!"

This is not difficult to understand, if the zombies have already broken out in Lingqing Mansion, it must be very dangerous for him to travel in it, and he will be killed if he is not killed.

Now that the facts are in front of us, even if Li Zhifu still doesn't believe it, he must seriously think about how to prevent the epidemic.

Of course, the imperial decree mentioned epidemic prevention strategies, such as the isolation plan and the key to killing zombies.

"To kill these plague monsters, you need to chop off their heads, which is impossible for ordinary people..." Li Zhifu frowned.

"Don't worry, the courtiers have given the commander's order, and all the troops in the guard will move!"

After entering the house, Mr. Zhang drank a bowl of tea and said, "As long as you survive these few days, you can feel at ease when the soldiers from the capital seal all the main roads!"

Li Zhifu nodded, he was very confused now, thinking about how to ensure safety.

The first one is to close the city, and people from outside must not be allowed in, and then screen one by one to ensure that there are no infected people in the city.

Li Zhifu issued an order, and the government servants quickly acted.

The closure of the gates of the Fucheng affects all aspects of things. Although ordinary people have grievances, they can only accept it when facing the government, but the dignitaries in the city are not easy to handle.

Closing the city gate greatly affected the business dealings and travel of the powerful.

Half an hour later, there was a commotion at the gate of the city, and the guards and officials were about to be unable to hold on.

At this time, Li Zhifu, who received the news, rushed over.

"Everyone...Everyone..."

Seeing that the magistrate arrived, the noisy people stopped, and they still gave Li Zhifu some face.

"Futai, it's still early, why did you close the city gate?"

"Master Futai, the food that my family transports is about to enter the city, you have to make it easier!"

Before Li Zhifu's people approached, their ears were almost crowded, and everyone was making demands on him.

"Everyone, be quiet..."

After everyone calmed down, Li Zhifu said: "Everyone... Now that there is a major epidemic, I have ordered the city to be closed, and I hope you will be happy!"

"Big epidemic? What kind of epidemic?"

"Li Futai, are you joking?"

Everyone said what they said, and they didn't believe Li Zhifu's words at all. After all, even Li Zhifu believed it.

"Everyone, this is true, how dare I make fun of the imperial decree!"

"This is Mr. Zhang from the governor's yamen. He is here to supervise this matter!"

Seeing Li Zhifu's serious face, everyone present was dumbfounded. Could it be that there is really a major epidemic?
"Everyone, this is not a joke. Several counties in my Hengshan County have been infected with the epidemic, with no less than 10 casualties..."

Hearing Master Zhang's words, everyone at the scene was even more surprised.

10 people died, they didn't know such a big thing, so they became suspicious again, and then they questioned.

"Everyone, this epidemic is extremely violent. Those who are sick are like wild animals, biting people and animals indiscriminately. Those who are bitten and scratched will also be infected, and the onset is very fast..."

Mr. Zhang explained a lot. Although he explained the situation of the epidemic clearly, it surprised everyone even more.

Is there such a disease in the world?
Just when everyone was about to argue, they saw someone shouting on the city wall: "My lord... my lord, scribe Zhang is back!"

Zhang Shuli was one of the people sent by Li Zhifu to deliver the decree.

"Hurry up and open the door, I want to ask him something!"

"Yes!"

Okay, you told us not to come in and out, and open the door when our own people arrive, what is the reason for this?
But without waiting for everyone to make trouble, Master Zhang scolded: "Wait!"

"Go up and have a look!"

Facing Mr. Zhang's gaze, Li Zhifu thought of a lot in an instant, and then nodded accordingly.

The two officials went up to the city wall, followed by several dignitaries present.

Hundreds of people gathered outside the city gate, including chariot drivers, burden bearers, sedan chairs and carriages, and wandering beggars.

And that Zhang Shuli, who was in a panic at the moment, was crowded with a group of common people.

"Scribe Zhang, why did you come back now?" Li Zhifu asked immediately.

"My lord, you are crazy... all crazy, there are monsters that bite people, dead... many people died..."

"Those monsters are coming to Fucheng soon, my lord, open the door quickly... open the door quickly..."

Seeing this, Zhang Shuli also tried his best to escape back to Fucheng.

Li Zhifu turned around and said to the dignitaries: "Everyone, I didn't lie to you, there is really a big epidemic!"

"I also ask you to go back quickly and explain the situation to the princes in the city on my behalf. Next...we will overcome this difficulty together!"

Without waiting for everyone to respond, I only heard the gatekeeper say: "My lord, someone is coming from afar..."

Everyone glanced away, only to see more people running towards the city gate in the distance.
