All Heavens: Starting from Becoming a God

Chapter 4: Peeling off the cocoon

Chief Anson chose to believe the young police officer.

It's not that he has any confidence in Wang Yu, but since everyone can't do anything about cholera, it's better to treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.

Chief Anson was willing to spend half a day with the young constable.

While he asked his subordinates to leave a carriage, he said to Wang Yu: "I will take you to the epidemic control center. There is what you want there."

The boss's statement did not exceed Wang Yu's expectations.

After all, at this time, any weird idea is worth trying.

Because the medical community at this time still knew nothing about the cause of cholera, the treatment measures they gave were so stupid that it was laughable.

Some people say that you can ward off cholera by applying a medicine made from alcohol, garlic, wine vinegar and beetle mummy powder to your body. Because these ingredients are disgusting to Satan, he will not come to you.

Some hospitals openly used mercury chloride, alcohol, and opium to treat cholera, and most of the patients died on the spot.

Not only that, the Sanitary Federation at that time gave even more absurd treatment methods: stuffing the patient's stomach with olive oil, beating the patient with branches or jumping on the patient's stomach, hoping to expel cholera from the body.

Ignorance, ignorance.

This is the evaluation left by Wang Yu, who stood on the shoulders of giants, to these white-skinned people. Due to the incompetence of the medical profession, the people have lost trust and patience in doctors. Unwilling to sit back and wait for death, the people began to develop cholera prescriptions on their own. Almost everyone They can all talk endlessly about their plans for the eradication of cholera.

Sheriff Anson regarded Wang Yu as one of them.

Wang Yu, who got on the police carriage, soon arrived at a hospital. The place was overcrowded with people coming and going, and the screams of pain could be heard endlessly. The doctors tried to treat the patients in any way they could think of.

Through his identity as his boss, Wang Yu quickly obtained the latest batch of case information.

"Okay, the next thing to do is to give me a map of Fog City."

"map?"

"Yes map, Sheriff Anson, the truth will be revealed soon."

After a while, Sheriff Anson brought back a map of the city. Wang Yu reached out to take it, spread the map flat on the table, and then drew black dots on it one by one based on the case information.

As hundreds of death cases were densely painted on the map, Chief Anson finally understood what Wang Yu meant.

"Are you looking for the source of cholera?"

Wang Yu nodded, pointed to a place on the map that was almost covered with black dots, and smiled as if he had everything under control.

"Right here, the closer we get to Broad Street, the more people die, which means this place holds the answers we want."

"But Chris, it's an epidemic area, do we really want to go?"

Wang Yu knew what he, the police chief, was worried about. The medical community in Fog City generally believed that cholera was spread by polluted air.

In those crowded slums, horse-drawn carriages raced through the dirty streets, horse droppings flew everywhere, and people discharged their excrement into the Thames through crude open sewers.

The stench was overwhelming and mosquitoes were flying everywhere.

People believe that it is these miasmas that spread cholera, and cholera does usually occur in areas with poor hygiene, but Wang Yu knows that this is just a symptom, and the real source lies in the water source.

"Don't worry, Chief Anson, cholera is not spread through the air." Wang Yu could only explain this, after all, he really couldn't provide any concrete evidence at the moment.

While the two were talking, a middle-aged doctor heard Wang Yu's words from outside the corridor. He walked in with a sneer: "Isn't it airborne? You are a young boy, and you asserted everything with just one sentence?"

"Because that's what it is."

Wang Yu frowned slightly. It was hard for him to get angry in front of Sheriff Anson, because to these civilians, he was probably the kind of evil wizard with extraordinary power.

They show their fists in front of the church because they know how to be in awe, but showing them in front of the common people only causes panic.

Seeing Wang Yu's lack of words, the middle-aged doctor became even more emboldened and taunted loudly: "What a joke! How dare a layman policeman make such arrogant remarks? Get out of here with your boss! By the way, if you want to die, , just go to the epidemic area, I will collect the bodies for you then!"

Many people looked over because of this movement. Chief Anson was a little angry when he was criticized in public. He pointed at the other person and was about to get angry, but was stopped by Wang Yu.

"Let's go, they don't welcome us."

Looking at his confused boss, Wang Yu shrugged. Countless people had said threatening words like this to him, but unfortunately none of them lived to see the sun tomorrow.

He put away the map with a nonchalant expression, grabbed his boss and walked out.

"Chris, why don't you let me teach him a lesson?"

"Sir Sheriff, it is a truth in the world not to argue with fools. Let's go and let us unveil the mystery of cholera!" Wang Yu just smiled.

When the two of them walked out of the hospital gate, the middle-aged doctor's eyes went dark and he collapsed on the ground, and immediately became silent.

"Dr. Louis fell down from exhaustion!"

"Someone lend a hand and lift him to the bed to rest."

At this time, Wang Yu, who stepped onto the carriage, smiled slightly. The old demon Zhen Yu never held an overnight grudge.

Sheriff Anson was a little confused about Wang Yu's inexplicable smile, but he did not ask questions and just drove the carriage to the slums where the epidemic was most severe.

"Chris, are you really sure?"

"Facts speak louder than words, Mr. Sheriff."

The two were silent all the way, and they soon arrived at their destination, Kuan Street.

When they came here, there were only a few residents on the empty streets. The ground was covered with human and animal excrement. The stench brought by the rotting garbage everywhere made them feel sick for a while.

Chief Anson, who was well prepared, handed Wang Yu a piece of silk to cover his mouth and nose. He looked at the young police officer: "Chris, this will make it easier."

"Thank you, Mr. Sheriff, is this the Fog City that everyone dreams of coming to?"

"Yes, this is Fog City, this is the greatest city in the world!" Sheriff Anson agreed with a wry smile.

Wang Yu didn't feel too much. He simply spread out the map on the carriage. He pointed at the center surrounded by the circle of black dots: "Let's go, that's where all the answers come from."

Anson nodded, and he followed Wang Yu to a free public water pump, where residents of many nearby streets drew water.

"Is this your goal?"

Wang Yu nodded. Under this situation, he really wanted to smoke a pipe. Unfortunately, neither he nor his boss smoked, which seemed a little disappointing.

Wang Yu unfolded the map again and said to Anson: "Within a few hundred meters of this water pump, almost all residents cannot escape the claws of cholera, and the closer to here, the more deaths there will be, and the further away from the water pump, the greater the number of deaths." The smaller the number of people, the water is the key to spreading everything!”

"Chris, I admit that what you said makes sense, but according to what is now generally accepted, this is a dirty slum, filled with filthy miasma. The closer you are to here, the more people will die, and the further away from here, the more people will die." The few people who died can correspond to the phenomenon you mentioned."

Anson nodded. This was not enough to overturn the understanding of the medical community, but he knew that Wang Yu must have something else to say, otherwise he would not dare to risk his life to come here.

"That's true, but in terms of distance, Mr. Sheriff, look here."

Wang Yu said, pointing to a place on the map without any black spots.

That's a brewery.
