Zhu You still remembers the first time he met Xiao Dingquan.
At that time, he was betrayed by the protector he taught, and he fell in front of him in a state of embarrassment, with fierce eyes, like a ferocious beast, struggling to die.
He appreciated it, but he would not soften his heart, and poured him the secret medicine that he had studied for several years without hesitation.
He originally thought that Xiao Dingquan would undergo a mutation like any other medicine man before, and become like an ancient god—blue face with long fangs, and bulging eyes.
But Xiao Dingquan didn't change, he was still the same as ordinary people, and finally even took advantage of the chaos to escape from the National Teacher's Mansion.
This is the only person who was drugged by him and still had consciousness, and was able to escape from the National Teacher's Mansion.
He sent countless Xirong secret guards to capture this person and study him, but he escaped every time and fled into South Vietnam.
Nanyue and Xirong have a century-old feud, Xiao Dingquan hid in Nanyue and taught him to spend more effort. Fortunately, someone from them had already infiltrated into Nanyue. Although it took a lot of twists and turns, at least some news spread out——
Xiao Dingquan also turned into a corpse!
But his corpse was different from ordinary people, and his mind gradually disappeared. He was overjoyed and sent a set of corpse control skills, but since then, there has been no news from Nanyue.
He didn't know the follow-up, and he didn't even know if the corpse control technique was useful.
Zhu You had almost forgotten the existence of Xiao Dingquan, but this time so many corpses from South Vietnam reminded him of this perfect work.
He couldn't think of any other possibility except that Xiao Dingquan had bitten and turned the South Vietnamese into corpses.
He came to the study in person, drew Xiao Dingquan's appearance with a brush, summoned the secret guards of the National Teacher's Mansion, and said in a deep voice, "Go to Nanyue quickly, and be sure to bring this person back intact. I will be of great use."
"yes!"
The hidden guards were ordered to leave quickly.
At this time, Xiao Dingquan didn't know that the people of Xirong National Teacher's Mansion had obtained a death order and wanted to take him back to the National Teacher's Mansion.
It's a pity that Zhu You guessed the wrong person completely this time.
The person who turned the people of Nanyue into corpses was not Xiao Dingquan, but the Supreme Emperor Gu Chengan of Nanyue.
At this time, Qinghe County in South Vietnam.
Since Gu Yan and Ge Feng came to help out, at first they could only forcibly seal off the county and isolate the maddened people so as not to assimilate the rest of the healthy people. They had no way to deal with these sick people, they could only put them under custody first. During this period, people were often accidentally injured. Most of them either suddenly went crazy or died suddenly.
Such a large-scale disease is unheard of and unseen in the history of South Vietnam.
There were corpses or maddened people everywhere, even the healthy people stationed in Qinghe County looked sad, and even the soldiers brought by Ge Feng showed obvious fatigue on their faces.
After all, no one has ever seen such a terrifying scene.
They don't even know what to do with those who get sick.
Although these people are sick, they may still be your friends who called you brothers and sisters a moment ago, or they may be the people who are solicitous for you to eat...
"All the dead should be buried."
Gu Yan has not closed his eyes for several days and nights, his handsome face is full of fatigue, his slender figure has lost a lot of weight, and he leans on the back of the chair tiredly, "There are still those who are sick, leave a few for the doctor to study, and shoot or incinerate the rest."
Ge Feng frowned slightly when he heard the words, "Do you really want to mass shoot?"
"What is General Ge afraid of? People know about it, and I'm the one who scolded him."
Gu Yan didn't pay much attention to fame. Hearing this, he straightened up and sneered, "Don't worry, I won't scold my second brother."
Ge Feng frowned, and said displeasedly, "Third prince, that's not what the last general meant. The last general was afraid that the people would riot..."
"Indecisiveness leads to disaster."
Gu Yan dropped the eight words coldly, closed his eyes and rested, not wanting to say anything more.
When the atmosphere was stagnant, the sheriff of Qinghe County walked in with a condensed expression, "Third Prince, General Ge, something is not right..."
"A farmer found that the land where the corpses were buried began to decay, day after day, and the grass and wild flowers that originally grew on the land began to die in batches..."
There was a hidden worry about the future in his eyes, "Those lands where corpses were buried... I'm afraid they won't be able to grow food in the future..."
Gu Yan's complexion changed slightly, and his closed eyes suddenly opened.
Food is the foundation of a country. Once the land can no longer produce food, the consequences can be imagined.
"Is it because of those corpses?"
Gu Yan suddenly thought of the key point, and he clenched his fists, "From now on, it is strictly ordered that all corpses must be burned, and all ashes should be placed in earthen jars and not buried in earth pits! Immediately synchronize the news with all states and counties, so that they must pay attention to land issues."
"yes!"
Seeing that the sheriff of Qinghe County ordered the order to go down, Gu Yan thought of the issue of food reserves, and was still a little uneasy, "Second uncle..."
He turned to Zhang Qingfeng, "I have to trouble my second uncle to go to the imperial capital and go to the palace to tell the empress that you and the empress need to make plans inside and outside the palace, and store more food."
"Okay, uncle will go back to Beijing now."
It is not clear what Fei Ge passed on, and it is easy to be cut off. Zhang Qingfeng readily agreed, and hurriedly went to the stables to choose a horse and left in a hurry.
It's just that Zhang Qingfeng left on his front foot, and on his back foot, in front of the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion, which was used as a temporary command post, came two solid people, one tall and one short, wrapped in black cloaks.
The tall man's figure seemed to be very stiff, and every step he took would be a little stagnant.
He seemed to be dominated by the slightly shorter man in the cloak, following him cautiously all the time, protecting him tightly.
The slightly shorter man in the cloak only whispered a few words to the gatekeeper before being welcomed in respectfully.
When Gu Yan and Ge Feng heard the report, they hurriedly greeted them personally.
"Two gentlemen..."
The shorter man in the cloak smiled and said, "My surname is He, this is my personal bodyguard A'an..."
"Mr. He."
Gu Yan hurriedly called, and said directly, "I heard that you have a solution for this sick person?"
"No, no." Mr. He shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "The person who untied the bell is not here. I came here to tell the third prince that those who are sick can no longer be called human beings. They are already a kind of corpse. In my hometown, they are called human zombies..."
"Zombies?"
This kind of statement was unheard of, and the moment Gu Yan heard it, displeasure flashed in his heart.
Mr. He said "Hmm", "These zombies are extremely powerful, they don't feel pain, they die like they are alive, they don't fear life and death, they don't have hunger or thirst, even if their bodies are damaged, they are still 'alive'. The only weakness is their head."
He said in a low voice, as if bewitching, "Hit it on the head, and it will die."
"It's just that in the process of killing zombies, you must avoid being scratched or bitten, otherwise the injured will most likely become zombies..."
Mr. He's explanation made Gu Yan and Ge Feng look at each other in shock.
The two of them never expected that the person they thought was sick was such a terrifying existence. No wonder they even sent out the sharp army before, but it had little effect.
Killing zombies is not the key to solving the problem, Gu Yan is not caught by these, he is keenly aware of the key.
"Mr. Cai said just now that you are not the one to untie the bell, so may I ask you this, do you know who the one to untie the bell? Even... you know the solution, don't you?"
"yes."
Mr. He readily admitted that there was a slight strangeness in his voice, but soon returned to normal. He sighed faintly, "I just can't say it for the time being. I'm afraid that if I say it, the third prince will not be able to resist..."
kill me…
