Chapter 532 We have won
July 13, 1399.
The atmosphere in Rhine City is a bit strange today.
No, it should be said that the atmosphere has been strange every day for a while recently.
The epidemic of strange diseases keeps people living in fear.
It has been more than a month. Not only is it not under control, more and more people are getting sick, and the attacks occur without warning. Relatives and friends who were chatting and laughing together one moment may become crazy the next moment. The infected people pounced on them and bit the throats of their relatives and friends.
It is said that in the past month, hundreds of people have been bitten to death, and countless others have been injured. This has frightened all the citizens. Many people even hide at home all day long and dare not go out, for fear of being attacked by infected people.
However, more people still have to get out of their homes.
Even if tomorrow is the end of the world, social workers can only spend overtime today. For this reason, many people bring weapons such as sticks when they go out. Conflicts frequently break out on the streets, almost all of them are misunderstandings, but It still makes the atmosphere in the entire city become more and more tense, like a powder keg ready to explode.
Although an explosive news the night before yesterday turned the public's anger towards the mysterious Shadow Alliance, which relieved the pressure and made the security department breathe a sigh of relief, the atmosphere in the city was still depressing and dull, just like the weather this morning.
The social workers who had to go out to work found that the sky was overcast as soon as they went out, and the morning fog had not dispersed. It was already past eight o'clock in the morning, and it was still gray.
Subsequently, more and more people noticed that the Crown Plaza, which used to be bustling with people, became a little special today.
There are many mysterious people in formal hats around the square. These people have flickering eyes and behave suspiciously. They are distributed all over the square, vaguely guarding the various pathways around the square, especially the direction leading to the church. If someone approaches even slightly, there will be countless paths. The eyes were focused on him, making people run away in fear.
What's going on? Something big is going to happen?
No one knew the answer. Some people quickly looked at the newspapers. However, the newspapers were dull and continued the aftermath of yesterday. While they continued to criticize the evil League of Shadows, they also called on the citizens not to spread rumors or believe them. The situation You can control it all, maybe just between the lines of the newspaper, and occasionally you can see some other news, such as news that drugs are being developed intensively. But from the beginning, some people kept repeating similar words, and citizens with normal intelligence have already Don't believe it anymore.
The more unknown it becomes, the more panicked the citizens are, but the reporters and photographers who are usually well-informed and elusive have disappeared, and even the newsboys running around the streets have disappeared. As for the entrances of major newspaper offices that are busier than the market, It also became extremely quiet, as if some terrible storm was brewing.
So, what happened?
Tension and depression filled people's hearts. Many people gathered at the Crown Plaza unknowingly, holding weapons for self-protection in their hands. They looked at the increasing number of soldiers and police around the square. The uneasiness and panic in people's hearts is already on the verge of breaking out.
"When..."
At this moment, a bell rang from the direction of the church area. The clear and long bell sounded like a thunder that exploded in people's hearts.
In an instant, everyone in the square, including soldiers, plainclothes gentlemen, and citizens who had gathered instinctively, were attracted by the sound of the bell and looked in the direction of the sound.
"Dang, when, when..."
The next moment, more than ten bells overlapped and sounded simultaneously in the church area. Whether it was a church or a chapel, twelve major churches rang at the same time. Bell of praise.
Praise God, sing praises to God, this is a ceremonial bell that is only rung in the most solemn ceremonies. When it is rung at this time, it means...
"Boom..."
There was a sudden commotion in the church district, and then dozens of carriages rushed out from nowhere and headed towards every corner of the city. Anyone with good eyesight could see it at a glance. , these carriages are from those newspaper offices that have disappeared. Looking at the way they are running rampant, let alone ordinary citizens, even if King Rand is standing on the road, they dare to run over directly.
After the first batch of carriages rushed out, a few minutes later, a second batch of carriages rushed out. The bodies of this batch were all black and quite low-key. Only a few people recognized them. They were carriages specially used for foreign affairs activities. Their destination was only one, the Medea Hotel.
This made more and more people gather and look at each other, confused as to what was going on. Some people even directly asked the plainclothes gentlemen, but the other party just shook their heads mysteriously and said nothing.
But from their expressions that changed from solemn to relaxed, people had already had a premonition of something, and within a few minutes, from the important government buildings around, big figures suddenly appeared one after another, from the parliament and the aristocracy. , rich and powerful, these people all walked briskly and trotted all the way towards the church in a very unbecoming manner, adding a bit of noise to the long bells.
What happened?
Knowing what happened, but not knowing what happened!
The onlookers felt like they were being scratched in their hearts, and couldn’t wait to find out the truth. People had been tortured by all kinds of bad news for too long, and they couldn’t wait to hear the good news and dispel their hearts. of panic.
So, here comes the good news.
The newsboys who hid somewhere, and then emerged from nowhere, each carrying a thick stack of newspapers, ran barefoot along the street, waving the printed matter in their hands desperately, The clear children's voice instantly spread throughout the streets and alleys.
“Outside, outside, witness the miracle!”
"The plague is under control, and a decisive breakthrough has been made in the development of special medicines."
"The first cure has appeared."
"Exceptional, an epoch-making success, special medicines for plague are about to be put into use Production will soon be available to the public”
"Excuse me, reporters have personally contacted the first cured patient. The patient is in good condition and performing stably."
"The photo of the cured person has been released. The photo of the cured person has been released."
People They watched the newsboys waving newspapers and photos flying past, their mouths wide open for a moment, and they stood there in a daze.
Unbelievable, the drug is really out?
A month of panic, a month of torture, just passed by?
Our relatives and our friends are all saved?
Snap.
The weapon in someone's hand fell to the ground. Then the owner of the weapon collapsed on the ground, holding his head and crying loudly.
His performance was like a clear signal. Sticks fell to the ground, and people roared wildly, frantically grabbing the newspapers in the hands of the newsboy as if they didn't want money. Some of them got the newspapers. People can’t wait to read it aloud.
"Extra, extra, we have won..."
At this moment, fear and hope were intertwined, causing tears to burst out like a flood. On Crown Square and throughout the Rhine City, countless people People waved newspapers and shouted slogans of our victory with tears streaming down their faces.
Thousands of voices gathered together, drifting towards the church area and into the Church of the Cross.
The Church of Tribulation has long been plunged into jubilation
