Chapter 429 Stop
The infected are all madmen, madmen controlled by appetite.
They will only madly chase fresh flesh and gnaw and devour it. They will not think or hide. Unless there are no living people around, they will temporarily calm down. Once they see a living person, they will Get violent and hurtful like Leonard and his mother did the day before yesterday.
Now that there are many people injured, the infected should wait behind these people. Even if there are soldiers passing by, they will pounce on the soldiers. How could they not hit them?
Unless they escape before the soldiers arrive.
An infected person who can escape?
At this moment, Lin Qi smelled a strange smell.
“Let’s go take a look first.” Lynch explained to Dr. Swain, “I suspect that this abnormal phenomenon is related to the corpse. The infected people seem to be under control, and those who control them, It’s probably their parent body.”
“So?”
"One is that maybe the body can be found along this line. On the other hand...why do they suddenly come out and bite people, and they are in different locations, as if they are afraid that others will not know their existence."
Yes, why? Everyone stared at Lin Qi, waiting for his explanation.
“I don’t know either. There is obviously something wrong here, so I went to take a look.”
"Okay, then you go, I'll stay here." Dr. Swain said, "Terry, ask your men to send all the injured people over. I have prepared the medicine. They don't need to die, including you. They don’t have to worry about getting hurt.”
Terry was stunned for a moment, and then ran out like crazy. Following a roar that Lynch couldn’t understand, a wave of cheers came from outside.
Lin Qi sighed. These professional soldiers are also human beings. They have also been under tremendous pressure in the past two days. Fortunately, the spread of infection in the military camp was contained from the beginning. There were only six in total. A soldier died, otherwise morale would have collapsed.
"Bring this."
As he said that, Dr. Swain handed over a few bottles of potion, which were green and horrible. Lynch wanted to draw a black skull on them. This should be more appropriate.
But he still brought it with him gratefully. With this thing in hand, he felt more confident when meeting infected people.
Follow Terry straight to the scene of the incident.
The incident locations were said to be located in different locations in the city, but in fact they were mostly scattered around the drying field. As soon as Lynch and the other four arrived at the drying field, they saw a group of citizens and surviving travelers surrounding the empty field. It was noisy, but the crazy old man didn't yell. Instead, he was lying on the straw pile watching the excitement. When he saw Lin Qi coming, he grinned at him, showing his big yellow teeth.
With no time to pay attention to this guy who was gloating about his misfortune, the group quickly approached the noisy crowd. Before they could squeeze in, the shouts and curses could be heard from inside.
"Hit me hard."
"He was the one who did it."
"Inhumane thing, even people won't do it for money."
"Beat him to death."
Of course, Lynch and the others couldn't understand, so they relied on Judy to translate.
Fortunately, there were soldiers following. A group of rough soldiers forcibly separated the crowd and allowed a group of people to squeeze in. Only then did everyone see a man surrounded in the middle, his face covered with blood after being beaten. Holding my head and crying.
It looked a bit familiar. If he looked carefully, he seemed to be the owner of the tavern who had just lost his tavern. He had seen him last night.
"That's him. Those crazy biters just bought white bread from him last night. He must have poisoned them and harmed so many people. He should be beaten to death now." ”
Huh?
Lynch signaled Terry to control the situation, and rescued the tavern owner who was rolling on the floor to ask about the situation. The tavern owner was still hesitant to say anything, but when he saw Lynch greeting the citizens around him to let them continue the entertainment, he immediately cried and said everything. . In fact, it was really his fault.
Last night the unlucky ones who were infected bought flour and asked the tavern owner to bake bread, but the sinister owner secretly mixed in some low-quality white flour and almost baked it too much. He doubled the quantity and then quietly sold it to several customers.
Not just travelers, but also local citizens.
After the outbreak last night was brought under control, Terry, Lynch and the others did not reveal that the source of the contamination was the flour. Therefore, it was not until this time that the citizens realized that the city was full of bites these days. Crazy, there is something wrong with the grain in the barn, just a little flour makes 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 food in the barn. The terrifying effect made everyone panic, and they rushed to tell each other. , more and more citizens gathered around the drying field.
Before, Lynch and others were very relieved that they did not deal with these new grains, but the citizens were not that big-hearted.
Such a dangerous thing must not be kept, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is eaten by a rat and bites people, not to mention what will happen if it is eaten by someone.
Burn them.
So in response to the call, a large group of citizens rushed into the barn and moved the few grains inside to the drying field. Before long, there were several piles of yellow wheat ears piled up on the drying field, and the piles were like hills.
When something like this happened, the soldiers couldn't leave immediately. Terry asked Lynch and his party uneasily, "We don't have to stop them."
Seeing the barn, It was about to be evacuated. 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 there are indeed hidden dangers in keeping them. It doesn't matter if they are burned. Anyway, the samples have been left." ”
Knight Terry was relieved and said with a wry smile: "Let's wait a little. I'm afraid they didn'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 about the grain." There is a problem, otherwise they would have taken action last night, and with the fire in the tavern, maybe even the barn would be burned down."
Hmm.
Huh?
Lynch, who was still casual at first, was suddenly startled and looked at Terry in surprise: "We have a tight blockade, so they didn't take action until today?"
"Yes, is there any problem?"
Lin Qi had a flash of inspiration and suddenly realized something was wrong.
In fact, starting from the four south gate guards, the other party never concealed that they were using grain as a means of communication.
If we had not controlled the situation in advance and allowed those people to go crazy, it would be easy to discover the special foods of each family. With Dr. Swain here, it wouldn't be difficult to trace the contents of the barn. Even if it couldn't be traced at the time, it would be easier to contact these new grains if the plague spread after the flour was sold.
These grains should have been burned a long time ago. It is because we have blocked the disaster several times before the outbreak, so people have not burned these dangerous goods.
Is that why the other party used such a flamboyant method to attack people everywhere?
So, they originally wanted to use the hands of citizens to burn these grains?
At this moment, Lynch remembered many jokes from his previous life, stories about burning special drugs in public, which affected the onlookers.
Damn it, if it can spread like this, then this is the fastest way to spread.
In the blink of an eye, he clarified everything, but the citizens also finished moving the grain and raised torches nearby.
“Stop, don’t burn.”
