Chapter 523: Purifying the Plague
Although everyone knew that this settlement was probably in danger when they saw the giant plague corpse appearing for the first time, when the White Wolf Knight, Fulvio and others arrived At that time, I was still shocked by the tragic situation in the settlement.
This is a small village that is not too big. Most of the residents are aborigines from a nearby tribe and some immigrants. There are about three to five hundred people in the village.
Because the village is small, they do not have an energy tower, but the Lord's Mansion still built an underground shelter for them, and planned to set up a small heating stove for them.
There are not many extraordinary people in the village, and the only extraordinary combat capabilities are a few ancestral warriors from the aboriginal tribes.
But because they are a small tribe, their combat effectiveness is not much better than that of a trainee knight.
So when the giant plague corpse appeared in this village, the outcome was already doomed.
Although the village chief immediately organized everyone to hide in the underground shelter, he himself led several ancestral warriors and the village's security team to bravely try to eliminate the giant plague corpse, but what changed? What came was just a pile of corpses in the open space in the center of the settlement.
Lack of powerful equipment, they were brutally torn apart by the giant plague corpse.
The settlement was also severely damaged. The warehouse storing food was completely destroyed and the food stored inside was contaminated. The walls of the village were also destroyed by the plague corpse. The settlement was basically abandoned. .
As for the villagers hiding underground...
The White Wolf Knights knocked on the door of the severely deformed underground shelter with anxiety. After a while, a weak voice asked: " Who is it?"
Hearing someone's response, the White Wolf Knights breathed a sigh of relief and quickly announced their identities: "We are the White Wolf Knights, and the giant corpse has been eliminated by us. , please open the door now."
"Great!" There was a burst of joyful exclamation from behind the door, and soon someone tried to open the door.
But because the door had been deformed by the giant plague corpse, it was difficult to open. Several White Wolf Knights had to lend a hand to help, and then they used the powerful power of the Steam Knight to force the door open.
However, Fulvio, who was standing aside, felt very heavy at this time, because when the White Wolf Knight was talking to the villagers, he heard coughing and moaning from behind the door.
When the door opened, what he saw confirmed his judgment.
“These people have been infected by the giant plague zombie and must be dealt with, otherwise they will all become plague zombies.” Fulvio found the female knight and explained the situation to her in a low voice.
As a referee knight, he has encountered too many such things. While he will not be merciful, he does not have such low emotional intelligence that he directly tells other knights in front of everyone that these villagers need to be "dealt with." ".
The female knight's movements visibly stiffened, and she asked in disbelief: "They should be cured, right? As long as they are isolated and doctors are sent to treat them, they should be cured. "Isn't it really necessary to dispose of it?" "I'm afraid not. I just checked the granary and found that the food was contaminated first and then the plague corpse appeared." Fulvio will not make mistakes in this kind of thing. They were very reluctant to do this, but still explained: "They first ate contaminated food and accumulated the plague virus in their bodies, and then some mutated into giant plague corpses due to possible evil sect rituals.
As for the remaining villagers, their bodies have been severely eroded by the plague toxins. If it were not for the plague giant zombies, they might still be cured, but the toxins emitted by the plague giant corpses are not the same as those in their bodies. The plague toxin reacted, and they... were hopeless. "
Hearing this, the female knight hesitated for a moment, but then issued an order to others to temporarily isolate all the villagers. The reason used was that they had been in close contact with the giant plague corpse. , may be infected with the disease and need to wait for further treatment.
The villagers were obviously a little panicked, but when faced with the White Wolf Knight, they still obeyed the White Wolf Knight's orders and stayed obediently. In the underground shelter, no one tried to leave or rush out.
The female knight asked two white wolf knights to guard the door of the underground shelter, and then discussed with Fulvio how to deal with these people. .
Only then did Fulvio learn the name of the female knight, Griffith, and realized that she was the flag captain of the White Wolf Knights.
"We can't just kill them directly. They are all citizens of the North. This is too cruel, and it is not in line with the teachings of the Earl." Griffith objected to directly killing them all. But she also understood that these people could not be let go just like that: "I will report this matter to the Lord's Mansion and ask the Lord's Mansion to send people to support! We can identify everyone and save those who can still be saved. Pick them out, this can save at least some people's lives!"
"No, it's too late, they are already hopeless." However, Fulvio shook his head and expressed his denial: " I checked their food. It has been contaminated for more than half a month. They have already been deeply poisoned. It is just a waste of time and resources to send people to identify them.
Even if some of them are in bad shape. Fortunately, there is still hope. Treating them is not worth the loss.
I can understand your mood and thoughts, but give up, it is meaningless, you can't save them. ”
Fulvio knew this was cruel, but this was the choice the Judgment Knight faced, sacrificing a few people in order to protect more people from threats.
Griffith was obviously unwilling to give in. She wanted to try to persuade Fulvio, but her eloquence was obviously not enough to impress a hard-hearted referee knight, let alone these people in Fulvio. Ao Yan was already hopeless. Dealing with it earlier would save them from suffering.
In the end, neither Griffith nor Fulvio convinced the other, but they each took a step back and reached an agreement.
Folvio no longer advocates that these villagers should be dealt with immediately, and Griffith must report the matter to the lord's house and explain Fulvio's suggestions and judgments clearly. The lord will The government makes the decision.
Neither party has any objections to this result. After all, in Fulvio's view, it takes some time for the Lord's Palace to make a decision after receiving the report, and this time is enough for those under guard. There are obvious mutations in the villagers.
At this point, even if he didn't say anything, these White Wolf Knights should understand what they need to do.
