Soul echo

Chapter 390 Treatment

Zhong Ye didn't kill the adventurer who turned into a living corpse, because he realized that now is a good time to observe the 'zombie plague'.

He tied up the unconscious corpse with a hemp rope, and found a bite wound on the corpse's wrist.

Nodding slightly, Zhong Ye raised his voice and asked, "Who is this guy's partner? Who knows what happened to the injury on his wrist?"

Judging from the wounds, this adventurer should have been bitten by some animal. Perhaps it was because of this that he was infected with the plague of living corpses.

The adventurers standing at the door made a noise, and after a while, the two adventurers were pushed out by others.

After being pushed out reluctantly, under Zhong Ye's sharp gaze, the two adventurers admitted that they were the fellow adventurers who had turned into living corpses.

Zhong Ye asked the two of them the previous question again, and the two adventurers looked at each other and answered in a low voice, "Yes, they were bitten by animals..."

Sure enough!

Zhong Ye asked again: "Have you been to Constantia before?"

The two adventurers were taken aback by this question and hesitated a few times before they couldn't bear the pressure and told the truth.

"Yes...we have been to Constancia before, but Constancia closed the gates due to the outbreak of the plague, we came back, and then on the way back, he was bitten by a wild cat..."

Looking at the two of them, Zhong Ye suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's that wild cat?"

Living corpses are extremely aggressive towards living creatures, but with the character of an adventurer...

"Be, be eaten..."

This answer made Zhong Ye take a deep breath and closed his eyes.

The adventurers were somewhat puzzled by Zhong Ye's attitude.

The next moment, Zhong Ye jumped out suddenly, swung his iron fist, and instantly knocked the two adventurers to the ground.

It wasn't until the bodies of the two adventurers fell heavily to the ground that the other adventurers reacted, immediately exploded the pot, and spread out in all directions.

Zhong Ye, who stood upright, looked at them, exhaled, "Find two more ropes for me."

Many adventurers who were still on tenterhooks looked at each other when they heard his words, and did not move.

Zhong Ye frowned slightly. Maybe it was because he acted too aggressively before, which frightened the group of adventurers.

In the end, Lilian, who still heard the commotion outside, hurried over and brought two ropes to Zhong Ye.

Zhong Ye also tied up the two adventurers who had just been knocked down. While tying up, he asked the receptionist standing at the door: "Can you tell me when did they come back from Constantia?"

The receptionist looked embarrassed and said, "Sir... we can't show this kind of thing to outsiders."

"The whole of Constantia is full of that kind of thing now." Zhong Ye pointed to the living corpse he knocked out, "This is a kind of plague, and we don't know how long the incubation period is. If we can know when they came from Kang If Stancia returns, he will be able to guess the approximate incubation period."

"plague!"

There was an uproar all around, not only the adventurers, but even the people who came to watch after discovering the movement outside the adventurer's house also changed their expressions and dispersed even more.

However, even though they stood far away, they did not leave here.

Only a few people hurried away because they couldn't suppress the fear in their hearts.

This is because they all want to know more about the plague, and seeing how the man dared to hang around the plague-infected people, even fighting with them without any protection, the spread of this plague may not be very strong ……perhaps.

Of course, not everyone knows the several ways the plague spreads. They just don't know anything, so they don't feel it.

After the receptionist heard the word 'plague', he was taken aback and ran into the adventurer's house to ask his superiors.

Not long after, she ran back out of breath again, holding a booklet in her arms.

After flipping through the brochure, the receptionist said, "They came back about five days ago, and they told us that Constantia closed the city because of the plague."

Five days ago...

This answer made Zhong Ye frowned, and pursed his lips into a straight line.

If he remembered correctly, five days ago should have been the day when Constantia officially closed the city gates.

On that day, all the farmers in the farm outside the city were taken in by the church in Constantia, and Constantia closed the gates of the city, but at that time, some animals outside the city were already infected with the plague of living corpses?

Zhong Ye was not surprised that there were animals infected with the plague of living corpses outside the city. He was surprised that there were obviously animals infected with the plague of living corpses, but why didn't the living corpses of animals infected with the plague attack the people in that farm?The number of animal corpses they saw when they went to Constantia was also very small?
Since the plague has spread long ago, as small animals whose immune systems are not as perfect as humans, animals such as rats, cats, and dogs should be infected with the plague faster than humans.

Moreover, the people in Constantia also said that it was the rats that polluted the water source that caused the plague of living corpses to spread.

So, is there a case of rats attacking humans in Constantia?
Thinking of this, Zhong Ye couldn't help feeling depressed and having difficulty breathing.

He originally thought that he had solved the mastermind behind the Constantia plague, and there might be no other obstacles to solving this matter.

But it was only now that he realized that he had only seen the tip of the iceberg of the whole incident, and there were more things hidden behind.

——The reason why the living animal corpses did not attack humans, or appeared in front of their eyes, was because behind them, there was something controlling these living corpses.

However, even thinking about it clearly doesn't help.

Right now, Schaffhausen still has a lot of things to investigate and deal with, and he can't just walk away.

"... Teacher, did you think of anything?"

Lily and Lilian stood by and watched the change in Zhong Ye's expression, and immediately understood what he was thinking of.

"Go in and talk."

Zhong Ye came back to his senses, shook his head, carried the three adventurers into the Adventurer's House, and made a request to the receptionist of the Adventurer's House: "I hope you can provide me with a more spacious room. room, I want to observe their symptoms, and by the way, please invite Pastor Igor from Dimu Church."

Seeing the three 'people' in his hands, the receptionist swallowed nervously, and asked another receptionist to take Zhong Ye and the others to a 'big room', while he left the Adventurer's House and went to Find Priest Igor.

The large room that Zhong Ye needed was located on the first floor of the Adventurer's House. There was no decoration inside, only a few tables and chairs.

After closing the door, Zhong Ye shared his guess with Lili and the others.

Lily and the others were terrified when they heard this—there are far more animals than humans in this world.

They can observe the living corpses of human beings, but how can they observe the living corpses of animals hiding in the corners?
It would be an extremely terrible thing if a large number of animal corpses carried the plague away from Constantia and went to other towns to spread the plague.

But for some reason, the controller of the living animal corpses didn't let them leave Constantia...

Behind this, there must be a deeper conspiracy hidden!
Just as Zhong Ye and the others were communicating, the living corpse woke up.

After becoming a living corpse, he seemed to have exerted his physical fitness to the limit, even waking up much faster.

After waking up, the living corpse suddenly twitched its body, but because its hands and feet were bound, it could only rely on muscle power to move its body, and crawled towards the direction of the other two adventurers.

It doesn't seem to care about Zhong Ye's 'enemy', all it wants to do is kill, or 'eat', as for who the target is, it doesn't matter.

Zhong Ye took a look, then got up and walked over again.

Sensing the approach of another living person, the living corpse turned around, crawled towards Zhong Ye, and was stunned again by Zhong Ye.

Looking at this living corpse whose IQ was no different from that of a paramecium, Zhong Ye's expression was difficult to understand.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"Is it His Excellency Zhong Ye? I am Igor."

Lilian got up from the sofa, went to open the door, and welcomed the pastor in.

After entering the room, the pastor saw Zhong Ye and the figure lying at his feet for the first time.

"Is it... a living corpse?"

Zhong Ye nodded, then raised his finger, "This time, the main purpose of my inviting you here is to find out whether this plague can be cured."
