The red moon returns

Chapter 429 Stop
The infected are all crazy, crazy people controlled by appetite.

They will only madly chase after fresh flesh and blood to eat and devour it, without thinking or hiding. They will only calm down temporarily unless there are no living people around. Once they see a living person, they will suddenly attack and hurt people like Leonard and his mother did the day before yesterday.

Now that many people are injured, the infected should be behind these people. Even if there are soldiers passing by, they will pounce on the soldiers. How is it possible that they didn't hit them?

Unless they escape before the soldiers arrive.

An infected person who will escape?
At this moment, Lynch smelled a strange scent.

"Let's go take a look first." Lynch explained to Dr. Sven, "I suspect this abnormal phenomenon is related to the corpse. The infected people seem to be controlled, and the one controlling them is probably their mother."

"so?"

"One is that we might be able to find the body along this line. On the other hand...why would they suddenly come out and bite people, and in different locations, as if they were afraid that others would not know of their existence."

Yes, why? Several people stared at Lin Qi, waiting for his explanation.

"I don't know either. There's obviously something wrong here, so I want to go take a look."

"Okay, then you go, I'll stay here." Doctor Swen said, "Terry, have your men send all the injured people here. I've already prepared the medicine. They don't have to die, including your people. They don't have to worry about getting hurt."

Terry was stunned for a moment, then ran out like crazy. Following a roar that Lynch couldn't understand, a wave of cheers came from outside.

Lynch sighed. These professional soldiers are also human beings. They have been under tremendous pressure in the past two days. Fortunately, the spread of infection in the barracks was contained from the beginning. Only six soldiers died in total. Otherwise, morale would have collapsed long ago.

"Take this with you."

As he spoke, Dr. Swen handed over a few bottles of potion. They were a pale green color, and they were creepy to look at. Lynch wanted to paint a black skull on them, which would be more appropriate.

But he still put it on with gratitude. With this thing in hand, he felt more confident when seeing the infected people.

Follow Terry straight to the scene of the incident.

The places where the incident occurred were said to be distributed in different locations in the city, but in fact they were basically scattered around the drying yard. When Lynch and his four companions arrived at the drying yard, they saw a group of citizens and surviving travelers gathered in the open field and making a lot of noise. The crazy old man did not shout or scream, but was lying on a pile of straw watching the fun. When he saw Lynch coming, he grinned at him, revealing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

There was no time to pay attention to this guy who was gloating over other people's misfortune. The group quickly approached the noisy crowd. Before they could squeeze in, they heard shouting and cursing from inside.

"Hit me hard."

"It was he who did it."

"This is an inhuman thing. He doesn't even act like a human being just for the sake of money."

"Kill him now."

Of course, Lynch and the others couldn't understand it, so they relied on Judy to translate.

Fortunately, there were soldiers following them. A group of rough soldiers forcibly separated the crowd and allowed a group of people to squeeze in. Then everyone saw that a man was surrounded in the middle, his face covered in blood from being beaten, and he was crying and holding his head.

He looked familiar. After careful observation, it seemed that he was the tavern owner who had just lost his tavern. I saw him last night.

"It's him. Those crazy guys who bit people just now all bought white bread from him last night. He must have poisoned so many people. He should be beaten to death now."

Ok?
Lynch signaled Terry to control the situation, rescued the tavern owner who was rolling on the ground, and asked him what happened. The tavern owner hesitated and didn't want to say anything, but when he saw Lynch calling on the citizens around to continue their entertainment, he immediately cried and told everything. In fact, it was really his fault.

Last night, those unlucky people who were infected bought flour and asked the tavern owner to bake bread. However, the black-hearted owner secretly mixed some low-quality white flour into it, baked almost twice the amount, and then secretly sold it to several customers.

Not only travelers, but also local citizens.

After the outbreak was brought under control last night, Terry and Lynch and his team did not reveal that the source of the contamination was the flour. Therefore, it was not until this time that the citizens realized that there were crazy people biting people everywhere in the city in the past few days. There was something wrong with the grain in the barn, and just a little bit of refined flour made so many people crazy.

No one thought of the city lord's problem. After realizing that something was wrong, the citizens focused their attention on the grain in the barn. The horrific effect made everyone terrified. As people spread the word, more and more citizens gathered around the drying yard.

Before, Lynch and his colleagues were very relieved and did not deal with the new grains, but the citizens were not so confident.

Such a dangerous thing must not be kept. Otherwise, not only will it be dangerous if it is eaten by humans, but it will also be troublesome if it is eaten by rats and comes out to bite people.

Burn them.

So, a large group of citizens responded and rushed into the barn, moving the little grain inside to the drying yard. Before long, several piles of golden wheat ears were piled up on the drying yard, like small hills.

Encountering such a situation, it was not easy for the soldiers to leave immediately. Terry asked Lynch and his party anxiously, "We don't need to stop them, right?"

Seeing that the barn was about to be emptied, the four of them discussed for a while: "It shouldn't be necessary. Although burning it won't solve the problem, after all, there are so many outside the city, but keeping it does have hidden dangers. It's better to burn it, anyway, the samples have been left behind."

Knight Terry was relieved and said with a wry smile, "Let's wait a little. I'm afraid they can't control the fire and let it spread. There was a fire here last night. Fortunately, we blocked the news last night and didn't let them know that there was a problem with the grain. Otherwise, they would have started it last night. Taking advantage of the fire in the tavern, maybe even the barn would have been burned down."

Ok.

Ok?
Lin Qi, who was originally nonchalant, was suddenly stunned and looked at Terry in surprise: "We have sealed it tightly, so they only took action today?"

"Yeah, what's the problem?"

Lynch suddenly realized something was wrong.

In fact, starting with the four South Gate guards, the other side had never concealed the fact that they were using grain as a means of transmission.

If we hadn't controlled the situation in advance and let those people go crazy, it would have been easy to find the special foods in each house. With Dr. Swain, it wouldn't be difficult to trace the contents of the barn. Even if we couldn't find it at the time, it would be easier to link it to these new grains after the flour was sold and the plague spread.

These grains should have been burned long ago, but people did not burn these dangerous goods because they blocked the disaster several times before the outbreak.

Is that why the other party uses such a blatant method to attack people everywhere?

So, they originally wanted to use the citizens to burn the grains?
At this moment, Lynch recalled many jokes from his previous life, those stories about burning special medicines in public and affecting the onlookers.

Damn, if this is how it can spread, then this is the fastest way to spread it.

In a flash, he figured everything out, but the citizens had also finished moving the grain and raised torches nearby.

"Stop, you can't burn it."
