Chapter three hundred and eighty seventh plague
The fish soup in the pot was steaming, and the fish soup was umami and hot filled the entire kitchen.
He brought the prepared fish soup to them separately, watched them drink the delicious fish soup, and praised it for its good taste, even if most of his efforts were not in vain.
There was a big pot of fish soup that the two of them couldn't eat at all, so they simply distributed it to the people on the boat. Leng Zheng and Li En came back from taking a shower, their faces were a little strange, and I shouted, "I'm here to have a meal."
Leng Zheng said: "I don't have an appetite."
Li En also shook his head, "You eat, I'll go back to my room to sleep."
I don’t understand what happened to them. The people who followed Leng Zheng and Li En to swim were not idle while drinking fish soup. They chatted with people around and said that they saw floating corpses at the bottom of the river.
I looked at the room where Leng Zheng and Li En lived, and felt that I had to go down the river tomorrow to figure out what was going on with the underwater rotten corpses.
The night passed quickly, and in the clear sky, birds flew past the valley, making crisp and pleasant calls, indicating that today would be a good weather.
We were also parked at the location where we last night. Several people were well equipped, grabbed a rope and jumped into the river. A splash of water burst into the water and returned to peace. The people on the boat waited for more than ten minutes. The rope was pulled, and I shouted: "Pull it up."
The rope soaked in the river water became shorter and a swollen and pale body soaked and swollen. When the body was lying on the deck, everyone gathered around to watch.
The body looked so terrible. The body was almost covered with pus, and the pus on its face had been broken, and fishy pus flowed out. Someone shouted, "This is the plague! The plague!"
"plague?!"
Everyone covered their noses in panic and retreated, "Drop the body off the boat, do you want to kill us?"
After learning that it was the plague, the salvagers instantly collapsed. They hurriedly checked their bodies, ran over and knelt on the ground, begging me to save them, and some even took out a knife to turn against us.
I also frowned. The red spots on the corpse looked very similar to the rotten appearance. If this is the case, then all the people on the entire ship would have to get in.
At this time, a loud voice shocked everyone.
"Let me take a look."
The crowd automatically made way for a road. Ouyang Lan wanted to get close but was stopped by Leng Zheng. There was no need to stop it at this time, Leng Zheng still made way for a while. Ouyang Lan squatted beside the corpse, looked at it for a few seconds, and shook her head, "This is not a plague, but it has something to do with some kind of virus. I can't see clearly, but if it is contagious, it should be transmitted through blood, so don't worry."
"Why should we trust you?"
Ouyang Lan said coldly: "Believe it or not."
I agree with what Ouyang Lan said. I have had close contact with the corpse at the bottom of the river. If it was really a plague, then I should have had symptoms long ago, and even Leng Zheng and the others were fine. How could it be that the plague?
The man couldn't say a word of refutation. Although everyone was not making noise, they were still skeptical and wanted to leave by boat. However, there were not many boats, so there would definitely be a commotion if this continued.
I can only use tough measures to threaten the passengers of the ship, and if I dare to leave the ship privately, or inspire people, I will kill them all.
I looked at the corpse on the ground. Although I couldn't tell how it died, the body was really strange. My eyes were green and my nails were very long. It seemed that I hadn't cut it for several years and it was very pointed. My body was wearing very ordinary clothes, so I should be a villager.
After throwing the body back into the river, no one mentioned it again after two days.
But two days later, we discovered something terrifying. The ship that was driving suddenly stopped moving. I went to the deck to check it out and saw a shocking scene.
The river in front of me was filled with corpses, and these rotten corpses stopped the hull from moving forward.
The smell of the river on the sky is not passing by even a bird. The odor is so strong that it is obvious.
There are so many corpses, and they are similar to the ones I caught before, they are all covered in pussies, and their bodies are rotten on a large scale. The eyes are green and their nails are slender.
What exactly is the cause of so many deaths? Will it really be an infectious disease?
The boat took a circle, walked around the secret corpse area, and continued to drive forward. The corpses floating in the river along the way could not help but have men, elderly people, children, and even pregnant women. Many people couldn't stand it and hid in the cabin and dared not come out. Some even looked at it for a few seconds and vomited.
In addition to humans, there are also livestock, such as cows, sheep, chickens and ducks, and even the fish in the river die and their white belly will be exposed on the river surface.
The entire river section was dead silent, and the water turned into stagnant water.
There is not even a flies or mosquito.
Complete silence.
After about half an hour, the driving was very slow because the corpse blocked the road. After more than half an hour, I passed through the river. Looking back, it was really like a tragic image of purgatory on earth. How valuable is human life? The scene in front of me is the best explanation.
The boat continued to sail, and soon, I saw the ferry, but the ferry was very desolate and could not even see the personal figure. At this time, I also had to fulfill my promise and distribute the silver coins to everyone so that they could go ashore and go home.
After all the people who wanted to leave were gone, there were still a few left on the boat. It was not that I didn’t want to leave, but that I didn’t dare to leave.
I shouted and took the boat away. At this time, there were suddenly roars from the ferry. A group of people rushed out of the village and wanted to run over at the ferry. A large number of strange people followed behind me. The escaped people ran and shouted for help, with a terrified expression.
The person at the ferry was so scared that he asked to get on the boat. Leng Zheng smiled playfully and said, "You said you wanted to get off the boat, but now you need to pay the money again when you board the boat."
"What the hell is this? Let's go up quickly!"
"You have no faith and say that you are asking us to go home by ourselves, but you send us to this strange place. Even if I become a ghost, I will not let you go."
...
I said, "Let them come up, but each person needs half of the previous ship fee, otherwise they won't be allowed to board."
Some people were yelling to get off the boat, but now they just want to board the boat casually. I really think the boat belongs to yours.
Although they didn't want to pay the money, they had to get the money because of helplessness. The group of people got closer and closer to us, and gradually they could see clearly what they were.
Sure enough, it was the same symptoms as those corpses. The rotten skin shook off the face, pustules all over the body, and malaria bumps and other things were all over the body.
Chase the group of people and approach the ferry.
