stand back, let me come

Chapter 1462: There are three in total (middle) [ask for monthly ticket]

The dawn light rises quietly in the sky, spreading a touch of rouge red.

Dong Dao, who had not slept all night, took a sip of strong tea to wake himself up.

Before he could swallow the food, the door was pushed open by someone, who said happily, "Hey, there's a great discovery!"

Dong Dao's sleepiness was startled out of his wits. He woke up and frantically held the teacup steady: "Discovery? What discovery?"

Doctor Xinglin hurriedly grabbed him and dragged him away: "Come and see!"

The cook who was captured last night had completely changed her spirit. She curled up into a ball listlessly, making a ho-ho sound unconsciously. Several imperial doctors even recorded and guessed the different tones of "ho-ho" to represent different emotions. At present, this ho-ho sound was filled with fear.

The facts are just as everyone guessed.

Doctor Xinglin excitedly shared his new discovery.

"You see, this patient is extremely photophobic."

Fifteen doctors of Xinglin divided the work and cooperated with each other. Dong Dao and others continued to consult the books of the Holy Temple of Medicine, while the rest were observing this precious patient. When the rooster raised by the medical department began to crow, the night sky was like ink poured with a lot of clear water, and it gradually became clear and white. Everyone found that the patient's mood had changed. This might be a precious breakthrough!

"Light?" Dong Dao's eyes fell on the burnt-out lamp on the candlestick. "Last night, the candlelight was bright, but it didn't react at all. The moonlight was everywhere on the road when I brought it back, but it still didn't react in any special way... I guess not all lights can cause it to move."

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized round bronze mirror from his arms.

He stood by the window and used a bronze mirror to reflect the sunlight outside.

The cook seemed to have encountered something horrible, and her mood was visibly irritable. She used her hands and feet to crawl towards the dark place. However, her hands and feet were bound by the words, so she had limited range of movement.

Doctor Xinglin asked, "Are you afraid of the sunlight?"

Dong Dao stroked his beard gently, feeling that he had grasped a clue: "That may not be the case... I have heard from the Lord before that the moonlight we see on a daily basis is actually no different from sunlight. Moonlight is sunlight. If it is afraid of sunlight, there is no reason why it would not be afraid of moonlight."

It was the first time that everyone knew that moonlight was sunlight.

They wanted to argue, but when Dong Dao brought up the master, they believed him - they were imperial doctors from the Medical Department, not Lingtai Lang from the Imperial History Bureau, so it was normal for them not to know astronomy and astrology. Some of them trusted Shen Tang blindly, and the conflict in their cognition was also because they suspected that they were not good enough in their studies.

"So it's not just photophobia?"

Candlelight and moonlight are also light, there is no reason why they shouldn't work.

"Is it fear of what appears with light?"

I couldn't imagine there was such a thing.

"General Gongshu!" At this time, someone thought of the most special general of Kang State. She said excitedly, "General Gongshu is also a person between life and death. This patient has no heartbeat and no pulse but can move like a living person. Isn't this a kind of 'living dead'? Although General Gongshu is not afraid of light, he really dislikes yang energy and likes to practice in the dark."

Gong Shuwu's practice requires absorbing death, murderous and negative energy.

"Yin and Yang complement and counteract each other. Perhaps this is the crux of the problem?"

Isn’t Yang Energy the most abundant energy during the day?

This strange disease turns people into neither human nor ghost. No matter how you look at it, it is a product of the underworld. It is very normal for it to have yin attributes.

If you look at it from this angle, it seems to make sense.

Dong Dao slapped his forehead and said, "Indeed!"

Some doctors from the Medical Academy who were not often on duty in the capital also expressed their doubts.

Whether it was the training method or his own weaknesses, these were the secrets of a brave warrior that could not be passed on to others. How could this colleague be so familiar with Gong Shuwu? Regarding this question, the Xinglin doctor did not hide it: "Doesn't General Gong Shu have a daughter at home? That girl broke her bones every other day after training. Eight out of ten times I went to see her, so I became familiar with her."

Which parent doesn’t remember the contact information of the attending physician?

Gong Shuwu was special, and the doctor who specialized in rare subjects was very willing to visit him at home for free in order to get his medical records. She took out her own medical records and found the part about Gong Shuwu, which recorded in detail the information about her medical treatment of Gong Shuwu, including but not limited to observation, auscultation, questioning and palpation, and even the records of conversations.

Of course, doctors must keep patient confidentiality.

Therefore, the names on the medical records are simple codes.

Everyone copied the medical record from her to their own medical records, and after reading it carefully, they unexpectedly discovered that Gong Shuwu's condition was somewhat similar to that of the patient, the cook, and they found some treatment directions from it. Dong Dao touched the medical record with great care.

He said: "The treatment method can be slow at first."

Everyone was shocked and angry: "What are you talking about?"

How can this be something a royal physician would say?

Isn't this treating human life as worthless?

The corner of Dong Dao's mouth twitched, and the old man sighed again in his heart - he was indeed the most thoughtful person in the Medical Department.

If he retires from the position of Imperial Physician, won't these people who only have medical skills in their heads be eaten up by those politicians? Dong Dao has no doubt that they will be happy to count the money for others after being sold.

"You all have seen how frantic the infected are. Not only are they extremely aggressive, they are also cannibalistic. Have you ever thought about how many people will be eaten if they are not under control? If the person being eaten is not completely eaten, he will 'come back to life' and eat the next one, and this will continue to happen to his descendants, endlessly." The first thing to do is not to cure the disease but to control its scope. Control first, then treat!

He didn't tell the real reason.

If he didn't find a reliable and effective control method first, he was afraid that Ning Tunan would be cruel and directly block and kill the source of the disease. To put it more cruelly, it would block an area, and the people in the area would not fend for themselves but be manually destroyed.

Is it better to kill a small group of people or a whole city?

Who dies in a city, or who destroys a country?

If necessary, he even believed that Ning Yan would order the blockade of the royal capital Fengluo, so that she could die in peace along with everyone else in the city.

Dong Dao glanced at the listless cook.

Just when I was thinking about whether to ask someone to bring a few death row prisoners over - one patient was not enough, and the sample was too small - thirteen more patients were sent over from the Silu Prefecture. Two of them looked exactly like the cook, and the remaining eleven had bloody teeth marks on their bodies.

Dong Dao was shocked: "Why are there so many people?"

Are these people yesterday's diners?

The military commander who escorted the man said, "No, we received a report from a resident this morning, saying that a traveling merchant who stayed at their home had killed someone. A murder case has occurred. The Si-Rue Prefecture has specially sent people to investigate."

The Silufu spent the whole night yesterday checking the diners, but no patient was found, and the strange diner mentioned by the proprietress has not been found yet. Just when they were worried, the case came to the hands of the Silufu. The deceased happened to be the strange diner, but the glass tube on the diner's body had disappeared. They could only crush the corpse that had not turned into a corpse and then bring back all the injured civilians.

Fortunately, it was daytime and the patients who had already become ill and aggressive were trapped in the house and did not have time to cause further spread of the disease.

These patients were kept in special rooms.

Dong Dao asked: "Are there any fish that slipped through the net?"

Even the Silu Prefecture dared not guarantee it.

All we can say is that everything that can be screened has been screened.

Fortunately, there are one or two good news among a pile of bad news. For example, the qi of heaven and earth in the area where the disease is located will change. The warriors of Wudan are particularly sensitive to the breath and can track down the patients based on this clue. As long as the Xinglin doctors can develop an antidote, the advantage of this struggle is on their side. Facing this pressure, Dong Dao also felt that the pressure on his shoulders was heavier than a thousand pounds, and he almost couldn't breathe.

As long as the general direction of the research is correct, progress will be rapid.

The medical department roughly determined in half a day that these patients were afraid of Yang Qi, especially the Yang Qi that was carefully purified by the Wudan warriors. "...If we weave this Wu Qi into a net, we can easily trap the patients, make their temperament calm, and dare not attack living things for a short time." Dong Dao went to report the good news to Ning Yan as soon as he got the news, "but this requires a high level of strength from the warriors."

Ning Yan asked: "Will the patient develop resistance?"

Dong Dao gave a fairly optimistic answer: "It shouldn't be possible in the short term. Even a powerful general like General Gongshu is very afraid of the pure Yang martial energy. These patients have become manic, irritable and aggressive due to the infection, but the carrier is still an ordinary person."

Ning Yan frowned: "In other words, if the patient is a Wudan warrior, the same degree of suppression may not work?"

Dong Daohui said in defeat: "It is possible."

I just hope God will have mercy on Kangguo and never let this happen.

Ning Yan also found the generals in the Four Rate Mansion who were in charge of this matter.

"Has the missing glass tube been found?"

"Reply to Minister, not yet."

Different generals have different abilities to sense auras. The strongest generals of the Royal Capital Guard have been dispatched to follow the slight aura leaked from the glass tube to track down the murderer who released the disease. However, the Royal Capital is vast and densely populated. There are a lot of people during the day, and all kinds of mixed auras cover up the slightest abnormality, making it difficult to find.

Ning Yan asked again: "Do you have any idea of ​​the location depicted in the portrait?"

She stared at the picture the painter was copying.

There were many common places like mountains, rivers, flowers and plants near the capital. Ning Yan was most worried that the location was not in the capital, but in the capital area, which would have a larger scope. Time was tight, so she could only guess the approximate scope based on the clues - let the four rate offices conduct an investigation and exploration around the main water sources in the capital area.

The responsible general said in embarrassment: "Reply to the Minister, not yet."

Ning Yan frowned, raised her hand and brushed across the portrait, muttering to herself, "If I were the enemy, where would I poison?"

Kangguo was a powerful enemy that she had to get rid of as soon as possible, and she would definitely not let him have an easy time: "If you just wanted to poison Fengluo, there would be no need to take the risk of sending the source of the disease here. If you just pour it at the source, wouldn't it be done without anyone noticing? There would be no need to alert the enemy at all."

Therefore, the enemy's purpose must have some humiliation in it.

No expense was spared to achieve this humiliation.

Ning Yan closed her eyes and felt calm inside.

When she opened her eyes again: "Dispatch some people to the National Temple!"

Ning Yan found herself trapped in a misconception.

She thought the enemy would definitely do something at the source, but she ignored the strong infectiousness of this strange disease - there was no need to poison the main water source, poisoning a small area would also work. As long as the royal court did not react in the early stage and missed the golden time, the disease would still flood the whole city! Starting from the national temple, letting the national temple flow out to kill the source of the disease in the whole country, the effect is equivalent to slapping the entire Kangguo!

The general clasped his fists and saluted: "I obey your command!"

While waiting for the news, Ning Yan became more and more certain.

Don't just find a big river to put the source of disease, there is a possibility that the source of disease will be diluted and fail to achieve the desired effect. The spring water behind the National Temple is different. Many pilgrims like to fill a pot to take home, and many restaurants in the city even use it as a gimmick.

If she were an enemy, she would be more inclined to attack in the National Temple.

Thereby obtaining a secret pleasure.

She looked up at the sky and said, "Now, we should really fight for our country's destiny."

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

The news in Fengluo is synchronized with other places at the fastest speed.

Shen Tang also got the information about the glass tube.

Looking at the object depicted in the portrait, she fell into a brief silence - not because of the tube, but because of the sword-pointing man inside the tube. Jimo Qiu recognized the image of the man at a glance, which resembled a statue of a god, and naturally guessed the reason for Shen Tang's silence.

No one else said anything, only Kang Shi was brave enough.

"Does this little guy look familiar?"

Many of them have seen it.

It looked exactly like the evil thought that was killed by the Lord. However, the two were only similar in appearance, and it was hard to tell their faces.

The others did not respond.

No one wants their master to be approached by such a dirty thing.

Jimo Qiu said: "It's normal if he looks familiar."

The reason why these things can maintain their activity for thousands of years is also here, all relying on the blood of His Highness. At that time, the laboratory did not develop the zombie virus, nor did it develop a special medicine that could help people adapt to extremely harsh environments, but it discovered the magical effect of His Highness's blood.

And many uses have been developed.

For example, preserving human embryos and preserving the initial zombie virus.

Of that batch of embryos, some hatched into humans, some died, some died, and the few lucky ones who survived took advantage of the chaos to leave the laboratory. The original zombie virus that should have been destroyed was saved, and is still carefully preserved in the hands of the inner society.

While everyone was silent, Wei Lou came back exhausted.

He looked at Shen Tang with resentment, Jimo Qiu raised his eyes and glared back, protesting silently - in the final analysis, it was the human race that caused the disaster, why did Wei Lou blame His Highness? Wei Lou ignored Jimo Qiu, and told him the bad news: "I went back to the underground ruins and found out some information from it. The inner society has three poisons in total, stored in different underground cities."

Shen Tang was mentally prepared for this.

The actual number was much smaller than expected.

Wei Lou: "Based on the location of the underground city and the time when the central branch mobilized the poison, it can be inferred that only one group appeared in Kangguo, and the other group is on the way. The most likely place of deployment is the southwest."

He circled several targets on the map.

Shen Tang asked him: "What about the other one?"

Wei Lou: "There is another one at the junction of southeast and northeast."

There is also an underground city here.

The enemy would not travel a long way to get the poison and then travel thousands of miles to Kangguo to poison. It is likely that they would kill Quguo and the forces formed by Shen Tang's trumpet nearby. In this way, the biggest threat can be eliminated without any effort. He said solemnly: "From the geographical location, they should act earlier in the southeast than in the northwest."

Should we remind Zhai Xiaofang?

The initiative is in Shen Tang's hands.
