Ten days later, Lu Yu finally woke up.
What makes people feel magical is that during these ten days, the entire Linjiang City always gave people a sense of'precarious', but it still didn't happen, and passed every day peacefully and tremblingly.
The first thing Lu Yu saw after waking up was not Xiao Ruan, but Lu Qian.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw two big eyes staring at me at an inch away from him. Anyone would be shocked, but Lu Yu appeared very calm, just blinking his eyes, and then Just said: "You pressed my hand."
Lu Qian lowered her head and saw that her knees were actually on his hands. Maybe... It was precisely because of this that Lu Yu woke up.
When I picked it up, it turned out to be red and swollen, extremely miserable.
Lu Qian was a little embarrassed, and hurriedly changed the subject and said, "It's a great thing!"
"Yes... What's good?" Lu Yu looked at his hand, tears coming out of pain.
"Um... The disaster relief army is coming soon. Isn't that a good thing? Linjiang City will finally escape this disaster!"
Lu Yu was taken aback, frowned sharply, and said in a deep voice, "I came here a bit early, so things will be troublesome..."
When Lu Qian heard this, she was puzzled. She couldn't help but ask: "Trouble? You are not awake, and the whole town is unmanaged. You don't think it's a big deal, but now the disaster relief army is here, you are down. On the contrary, I think something is going on, this... what is the reason?"
"Hey… "
Lu Yu walked to the fire, looked at the flames floating inside, and said calmly: "In a certain environment, certain things will become unrecognizable, and their characteristics will also change. This principle may be a little deeper... Well. Look at this fire. If it is placed in the summer, it will make people unbearable, but now, it is warm. The flame is the same, it can be it that destroys everything in an instant, and it is the one that nurtures civilization. it."
As he said, Lu Yu picked up a teapot full of water, shook it a few times and said, "This is water, and water can extinguish fire. This is a consensus and an inevitable result in people's imagination. Just like the disaster relief army is coming, you I am happy. But..."
Suddenly Lu Yu threw the kettle into the fire, and then he quickly backed away...
boom!
With a loud noise, the red-burning stove suddenly burst open, and the turbulent smoke instantly filled the whole cabin. The dense smoke, water vapor, and sparks made people breathless.
Xiao Ruan was waiting outside the house for Lu Yu to call her in. Suddenly seeing such a vision, he rushed in and took Lu Yu out, but Lu Qian was left with a sullen face.
The two people waited outside for a long time before Lu Qian rushed out angrily and shouted: "Why did you blow it up?!"
Lu Yu chuckled softly: "A stove can make your memory more profound. It's worth it."
"This… "
Lu Qian was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it, and asked in confusion, "Does the situation really get worse after the disaster relief army arrives?"
Lu Yu didn't answer this question, but let Lu Qian also start to learn from Xiao Ruan and start digging those'mud balls'.
…
The disaster relief army really came. When people gathered at the gate of the city spontaneously, waiting for hope to come, they saw despair.
It is them who are desperate, but also the disaster relief army.
The mighty team of 50,000 people, at this time there were only less than 20,000 left. The food cart did not come, but there were countless stretchers. Order did not come, but there were endless injuries.
Many of them have suffered stab wounds, but many of them are sick.
This disease is very strange and sudden. A person starts coughing, then vomiting, and then diarrhea, until the vomiting is bloody, and the diarrhea is also red. People will weaken rapidly, and the whole body will be covered with dark spots, not painful but itchy. Under the irritation, the skin was scratched, but no blood was seen. There was only a pale yellow liquid and a sticky meat sauce. In the end, the bones could be seen, but there was still no blood!
This disease has appeared more than once on this continent, but every time it appears, people are still as shocked and feared as they first saw it, because it is contagious, and the cause is unknown. As long as one person becomes ill, people nearby will With the same symptoms, they can only face a mortality rate of more than 80%.
Some literati gave this disease a very elegant name, called "Death Breath," while the people were more realistic and called it "Black Hades" vividly.
What distinguishes it from other diseases is the plum-shaped black patches on the body that can be recognized at a glance.
"No... Don't let them come near! They brought the Hell Hades here!"
I don't know who called it out first, and this matter doesn't need to be verified, because everyone thinks like this.
The city gate was closed again. Last time it was the city defense army. This time it was the victims of the disaster. The speed was so fast that even a large part of the victims were locked out before they could run back into the city. They couldn't rush away even if they shouted. Because this time defending the city, there are nearly a million people!
But even so, in the next two days, people in Linjiang City began to suffer from this disease one after another. Even people who have some symptoms have been isolated. As long as they accidentally cough, they will attract countless people to subdue them, and then lock them in a place where they can’t come into contact with anyone, but... the disease is just continuing. The spread. As the common people describe, the Black Hades is all-pervasive and no one can stop it.
"Why... how could this be?"
Lu Qian came to Lu Yu's courtyard in despair, and sat in front of him, as if muttering, as if in doubt.
Lu Yu said, "Why is this? If you want to ask the disaster relief army... they are normal. The reason they need an army for disaster relief is because there is bound to be battle during the relief process. Since it is a battle, it may not be defeated, yes. It may have been fought. The disaster relief army proved that they had not fought before seven days later. Now they come again. Naturally, they are defeated soldiers. They will not bring me any food. On the contrary, they have countless more mouths."
He turned around to make himself more comfortable. He also subconsciously avoided his still red and swollen palms before continuing: "If you want to ask about the disease called the'Black Hades'..."
"That's right! I just wanted to ask this, why is there such a strange disease? Is it possible... There really is a life-killing Yama in this world? There is no reason to come to the world to claim his life?"
There was a little horror in Lu Qian's words.
Lu Yu smiled lightly, stretched out his hand and patted her arm to appease, and then said, "It's not that mysterious. Actually, this situation is easy to explain, and it can even be said to be inevitable. After a major disaster, there must be a big disaster. Epidemic!"
"Why is this again?"
"Think about it, how many people will die in a disaster? When people die, no one will collect their bodies, or they will be flooded or exposed to the sun. The corpses rot, and the rotten water flows into the ground, mixes with the soil, and flows into the rivers. People don't care about the river water they drink or clean water. , Can be regarded as a bowl of human rot soup, how can it not be sick?"
"vomit!"
Before finishing speaking, Lu Qian vomited out, just in the copper basin that Xiao Ruan handed over. It was obvious that Xiao Ruan was prepared.
Lu Qian's heart is happy, thinking of the tea she drank in the morning, imagining that there are rotten human eyes floating in it, how can she not nauseate
