After wearing a beautiful proton
Chapter 20 The Plague Is Rampant
=========================
When everything was silent, a slender figure hid in Tibet, and soon left the capital, knocked on the door of another room, bought an old horse for a huge sum, and ran along the path all the way to the southeast.
Zhao Changling was carrying a simple bag, wearing a black veiled hat, and a black suit. He rode his horse and raised his whip alone, letting the cold dew wet his clothes.
Although he was tired and thirsty, he didn't dare to stay for a while, for fear that when Ji Huai woke up, he would realize something was wrong and come to chase him.
"Woo!" Suddenly, the old horse raised its front feet high, turned its body to the right, and stopped in time.
Zhao Changling hastily grabbed the reins and clamped the horse's belly tightly with his feet, so he didn't fall to the ground, but he broke out in a cold sweat.
Under the reflection of the moonlight, I saw a dead tree blocking the middle of the path, blocking the way.
Zhao Changling looked around and saw that there was no fork in the road, so he got off the horse helplessly, sank into his dantian, and lifted the dead wood with all his strength.
However, the dead wood in his hand barely lifted an inch, and a cold light flashed from the front left!
Zhao Changling's heart sank, he immediately put down the dead wood, turned sideways abruptly, narrowly avoiding a cold arrow.
There is an ambush!
As soon as this idea came out, Zhao Changling immediately drew back, hid behind a big tree, and listened carefully to the movement in the darkness.
"Duh! Duh! Duh!" Three cold arrows grazed his cheeks and nailed to the tree trunk behind him.
Zhao Changling turned his head and saw that the arrow was black and poisonous, it seemed that the ambush was about to take his life!
Who exactly?Who is spying on him!
The enemy is dark and we are clear, you can't fight against it, you can only outsmart it!Zhao Changling picked up a piece of wood from the ground and threw it to the right, but fled to the left with a cat on his body.
Sure enough, the person hiding in the dark, because he couldn't see clearly, immediately pierced a series of cold arrows on the dead wood.
"I've been hit by an arrow!" In the darkness, there was an excited cry.
"To shut up!"
There was an eerie silence in the jungle again.
Zhao Changling quickly came to the old horse, tied some branches to the horse's back to create the illusion that there was someone on the horse's back, and stabbed its buttocks with a silver needle.The old horse wailed, turned and ran wildly.
When the ambush man heard the movement, he rushed out instantly, and seven or eight men in black chased in the direction where the old horse left.
Zhao Changling prostrated himself on the ground and remained silent until the other party had gone far away, then he picked a direction and continued on his way.
Fortunately, the group of men in black drifted away and lost track of him.Otherwise, Zhao Changling would have to work harder to defeat the opponent.
Zhao Changling fled in the deep and silent woods, as if he was the only figure in the world, but there were countless dangers hidden in the dark.
At this moment, Zhao Changling seemed to have returned to the previous life, to the end of the world full of zombies, but the living people were far more terrifying than irrational zombies.
In the past, he had killed batches of zombies, walked through unfamiliar areas, and encountered groups of desperate and brutal living people.
This kind of life is familiar to him.Although he didn't want to admit it, Zhao Changling's blood thirsted for adventure.
Now, his long-silent fighting spirit surged again, a fire ignited in his chest, and he was about to shoot and kill anyone who stood in his way!
Tonight, a small fish trapped in the long river of history spit out a small bubble, but it caused turbulent waves downstream.
As the rising sun yawned and slowly climbed up the hill, the darkness was torn apart.
Zhao Changling was leaning against a big tree, panting continuously, the tips of his hair were drenched with sweat, and his fair and handsome cheeks were stained red.
He took out the map from his pocket and saw that he had escaped from the sphere of influence of the capital of Chu State, which was located at the junction of Bowang City and Anhe City.
Zhao Changling was afraid that his whereabouts would be leaked, so he didn't need to talk to anyone along the way, and he only ate and drank on horseback.
The so-called hermit in the city, this time, Zhao Changling no longer took the trails, but followed businessmen and travelers on the bustling official roads.
At the beginning, this road was extremely prosperous, but gradually, there were fewer and fewer merchants.
One day, when Zhao Changling was resting at the tea pavilion, he paid special attention and saw that there were only five people walking with him: a middle-aged couple, a down-and-out businessman, two refugees and an old man.
Among them, a ragged refugee sat alone in a corner, neither drinking water nor eating dry food, just poking the ants with a branch boredly.
Zhao Changling's eyes sank, he took a piece of meat pie, and strode over.Everyone else was hurrying to rest, and no one paid attention to his situation.
"Brother, you can eat." Zhao Changling said gently as he handed the meatloaf in front of him.
The refugee was stunned for a moment, and looked up, but saw that the other party was wearing a black veiled hat, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but he was well dressed and had an outstanding temperament, obviously he was a nobleman.
Zhao Changling saw him cowering and looking away, so he smiled and sat next to him, persuading him: "When you are away from home, it is inevitable that you will miss food and drink. Please don't dislike my tasteless meatloaf!"
The refugee licked his lips, wiped his dirty hands on his clothes, took it respectfully, glanced at him cautiously, took a sip, and then swallowed heavily.
"Cough cough cough..."
Seeing that he was choking, Zhao Changling hurriedly handed him the water bottle, and patted his back for help. Seeing that he was relieved, he was relieved.
"Brother, I want to ask you something."
The refugee had expected it, and said without looking back: "You ask."
Zhao Changling glanced at the other four people, and asked in a low voice, "How come the farther you go southeast, the fewer people there are?"
"Hey! That's it?" The refugee breathed a sigh of relief, and said mysteriously, "You don't know yet? The country of Yue is in chaos!"
"What? What's wrong?" It has to be said that he has been trapped in the Proton Mansion for a long time, and he is no longer sensitive to the general situation of the world.
The refugee stopped clenching, seeming to be scrupulous, but after thinking about it, he still told him with some reservations:
"The Yue Kingdom suffered a flood first, and then a plague broke out. I heard that the people who were infected by the plague were reduced to living/dead people, not afraid of pain, chasing and biting people!"
"What? A living dead!" Zhao Changling trembled all over, and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure? Are you sure they are irrational living dead who can only eat people?"
living dead?Looking at the description, it is clearly a zombie from the previous life!What exactly is going on?
Seeing that he lost his composure, the refugee thought that he was overly frightened. After all, such a terrible plague was unheard of, and he didn't know what evil things the Yue Kingdom had done to be punished by heaven!
"This...this kind of thing, can I still lie to you?" The refugee swallowed the meat pie, and said indistinctly:
"To tell you the truth, I am a commoner on the border of Chu State. On weekdays, I traded in various parts of Yue State. I have seen living/dead cannibalism with my own eyes. Because I couldn't escape, I hid the goods."
Hearing this, Zhao Changling understood. He must have been unwilling and wanted to bring back the lost goods, so he risked his life and went to the country of Yue.
Zhao Changling took out a small piece of broken silver, and suggested: "Brother, since the Yue Kingdom is so dangerous, you should stop going, go home as soon as possible and live a happy life."
Unexpectedly, the refugee insisted not to accept his broken silver, and said with a smile: "This is not my money, I can't take it! In fact...my goods are medicinal materials. Now that the plague has spread again and again, my hometown has also fallen. I have to Go back with life-saving medicine."
With tears in his eyes, the refugee said emotionally, "My folks... are still waiting for me to go back..."
Zhao Changling remained silent for a long time, feeling extremely emotional. Such an ordinary commoner has the mind to sacrifice himself for others. He...is ashamed of himself!
"Brother, dare to ask you to call him so?"
"I'm a rough person, just call me big and strong!"
Zhao Changling nodded, left the water bottle for him, got up and said goodbye, "Brother Zhuang, I'm going ahead."
Da Zhuang waved his hand, then stopped him, and finally reminded: "Go to this official road, within ten kilometers, there is a refugee gathering place, the plague is rampant, you can bypass it."
Zhao Changling expressed his thanks in a gentle and polite way, then rode his horse and swung his whip, left the tea pavilion and headed towards the official road ahead.
Although Da Zhuang reminded him, Zhao Changling didn't want to take a long way. He was always terrified along the way, and his ominous premonition became stronger and stronger.
What's more, the ghost doctor also went to the country of Yue. If he was infected with the plague and became a living/dead person, Zhao Tianshuang would definitely die.
living dead-
He had to confirm it himself to feel at ease!
Along the way, Zhao Changling became more and more impatient, and even killed a horse.
A few days later, Zhao Changling came to a small town.
Hanmo City is located at the border of Chu State and borders with Yue State. The land is fertile, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. They have been living a life of men farming and women weaving.
However, a sudden plague broke the comfort of this small town.
Things have to start three months ago——
There is a mighty red river in the territory of Yue State, which has nourished countless people of Yue State.But a few months ago, the Hongjiang River suddenly flooded, destroying tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people.
Because the dead/corpses were everywhere, the wounded could not be treated in time, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter, various reasons caused the plague to break out along the Red River.
The people infected with the plague persisted in high fever, edema and weakness. The doctors tried various prescriptions, but they were still unable to do anything. More and more patients died!
At this moment, another more terrible plague raged!
The common people turned into walking corpses for no reason. They are irrational, bite anyone they see, and are not afraid of death. They are more terrifying than crazy beasts!
For a time, floods and two strange plagues ruthlessly devastated this small country.
However, when the people were in dire straits, the King of Yue turned a blind eye to it. Not only did he not send people to deal with it, but he blocked cities and towns and strictly prohibited the people from entering and leaving.
As a result, the hearts of the people were ashamed, and they knew that they could not rely on princes and nobles, so they had to go out and flee.
The State of Yue bordered the State of Chu, so many refugees rushed to the State of Chu, and brought the plague to the border of the State of Chu.
Fortunately, the eldest prince Ji Yan made a decisive decision, sealed off several border cities, and sent soldiers to guard them strictly, which prevented the plague from spreading to all parts of Chu.
When everything was silent, a slender figure hid in Tibet, and soon left the capital, knocked on the door of another room, bought an old horse for a huge sum, and ran along the path all the way to the southeast.
Zhao Changling was carrying a simple bag, wearing a black veiled hat, and a black suit. He rode his horse and raised his whip alone, letting the cold dew wet his clothes.
