Chapter 269 Dead City

"Grandma is back. I will go and invite you two gentlemen now."

It was Yuzhu who spoke. Instead of going to Han Yu's room, he turned around and went to Ning Su's room.

Gu Chao called him in a low voice, "Don't wake him up. Your master is here too?"

Yuzhu turned around and nodded, "Grandma is not at home these days, so the two gentlemen stay together.

I didn’t know grandma would come back tonight, so I didn’t go back. "

Gu Chao waved them off, "You guys should go and have a rest, we won't need you here."

Unexpectedly, he would be treated like this as soon as he came back. Gu Chao's heart felt itchy and his pace became much faster.

When he entered the house and saw the two babies sleeping peacefully on the bed, Gu Chao felt a rush of heat rushing to his forehead.

Since that's the case, she won't be polite.

Even though her movements were very careful, she still alarmed the two of them.

Nonsense, there was an extra person on the bed, and he was between the two of them, and he hugged them unceremoniously.

How much sleep do you have to have to not react at all to such a big movement?

It's all in vain, but it's not a problem for Han Yu, he can see it all.

Therefore, after seeing the person clearly, he did not struggle, but instead took the initiative to rub into the wife's arms.

It's just that Ning Su is an ordinary person, and her eyesight is not as good as that of Han Yu. She even jumped when she was woken up at first.

But because I had such an experience, I didn't scream out like last time. I felt the familiar embrace and breath again, and after reacting, I knew who it was.

When he found that the husbands were awake, Gu Chao did not stop his hands. Instead, his movements became more wanton and his mouth was not idle.

"Baby, do you want to be my wife?"

"Think~"

How could you not want to? The wife used to go out for business, and she would usually come back on the same day, or at most one day.

But this time, they didn't come back for several days. Of course they missed their wife and mother, and Baoer missed his mother.

As soon as Zhang Ye received the message from Gu Chao, he immediately reported to the elders in the sect. After some discussion, he first sent news to fellow Taoists everywhere, and then sent people to the mass grave that Zheng Rong mentioned to check the situation.

In terms of time, it took Zheng Rong more than two months to return from the south on foot, and including the days back, it took almost three months.

If Zheng Rong already had Blood Ganoderma in his hand, why would he sell it for money when he wasn't on the road? Why bother walking back for more than two months?

She has been doing business outside all year round, so of course she knows how to keep her wealth secret. What's more, she is single and unfamiliar with the place, so of course she doesn't dare to show it.

Only when I got home and to a place I was familiar with did I dare to take it out with confidence.

It was also because of this that the victims were gathered in one place. Otherwise, if she took a few attacks at one place, there would only be more victims and it would be difficult to gather them together.

In the end, we don’t know how many people were infected.

Another thing, after so much time has passed, someone must have died.

However, it was also because the time dragged on for too long, so we didn’t know what the scene of that mass grave was.

There are also people living nearby who don't know the situation.

Ordinarily, with such heavy grievances, the people within a hundred miles would probably have been harmed.

However, no news has come out at all, which is strange.

The person sent was led by Zhang Ye. After all, she went to Gu Chao and saw the resentful baby. It was better than others not knowing anything.

When Zhang Ye took people there, he found that there were no living people in the nearby villages and towns before they arrived.

And the resentment was so high that everyone within a hundred miles was shrouded in resentment. It was no wonder. Everyone was dead, and no one could send the news out.

With such heavy resentment, Zhang Ye did not dare to take his disciples in so rashly to find out what was going on, so he had to go find someone to inquire about the situation first.

When I arrived in a town, I found a teahouse and sat down, and then I inquired about the situation.

When the shopkeeper heard that they asked about this and saw that they were all dressed up as Taoist priests, he didn't hide it and told her what she knew.

The place where they are staying now is Liuzi Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Luan City.

The place where the accident happened was Luancheng. They didn't know how many towns and villages had damaged rice fields.

Anyway, we have been unable to go there since two months ago, and the people inside cannot get out.

I heard it's a plague, and if you catch it, you won't survive.

Within a few days, the government refused to let them go out. When they were able to go out, the place was like this.

The government had issued a notice, ordering them not to go that way.

In fact, even if I don't tell them, they won't go, and it's not like they are risking their lives.

In these two months, I haven't seen anyone pass by there. Not only that, as long as I get a little closer, I can hear the miserable cries for help coming from there from time to time.

So, where do they dare to go?

"Taoist priests, are you here for this matter?"

These days, the government also invited some Taoist priests, but they all failed.

These guys don't look like they're from here, so I don't know if that's possible.

"Yeah! This is indeed what happened. Let's understand the situation first.

By the way, your government didn't report the situation here to

The imperial court? "

If it hadn't been for the news from fellow Taoist Gu, they wouldn't have known about it, and they hadn't heard anyone mention it along the way.

The shopkeeper sighed, "The plague came so fiercely and quickly, and the government wanted to save them at that time, but they didn't know that everyone who entered would die, and they couldn't get out at all.

Later, I no longer dared to let anyone in.

We didn't go out, so the news didn't spread.

The officials in the government had reported the news a long time ago, but I don’t know what happened next. "

Seeing that the shopkeeper couldn't ask any more questions, Zhang Ye and others left after paying the bill, preparing to go to the Yamen to check on the situation.

You definitely can't go to Luancheng, so you can only go to the nearest Liangcheng government office.

It was already evening when we arrived, and it was impossible to go to the Yamen. We had to find a place to stay first and go there at dawn.

At this time, the Tianyi Sect also received news from Luan Cheng.

As soon as I heard that Luan City had become a dead city, I immediately sent the elders of the sect over, fearing that Zhang Ye and a few juniors would not be able to solve the problem and would instead go in.

As soon as the county magistrate Mr. Li heard that several Taoist priests were visiting, he immediately thought of the reason for his visit and hurried out to greet them.

Ever since something happened to Luan Cheng, her hair had turned a lot whiter and she couldn't sleep.

To be honest, she also invited a lot of Taoist priests, but she said no, so she asked someone else to hire Gao Ming.

She didn't know if the people she hired were all swindlers, or if there was really nothing she could do.

How could she not be excited now that a Taoist priest was coming to her?

As for the situation in Luancheng, she absolutely didn't believe it was an ordinary plague.

What kind of plague can prevent people inside from coming out? The city gate was obviously open, but it was as if there was something invisible surrounding the city, preventing anyone from coming out.

I met a few people from Zhangye and saw that they were all young people except Zhangye, and I was a little disappointed.

"Master Li, I am a disciple of the Tianyi Sect in Zhangye.

Zhang came here with his disciples. I think Master Li should know why.

Zhang didn't say anything unnecessary, he just wanted to find out the situation from Mr. Li. What's going on? "

Master Li was also excited when she heard that the person who came turned out to be a member of the Tianyi Sect. She had also heard about the Tianyi Sect. The master who removed the evil thing of Blood Coral along with Daoist Gu was the Tianyi Sect.

I also saw that she was straight to the point as soon as she came up, and he knew what her character was like, so she immediately told everything she knew without hiding anything.

It turns out that it really started two and a half months ago.

An infectious disease suddenly broke out in Luan City, and it was so violent that thousands of people were infected overnight.

Within two days, there were basically no survivors.

The situation was so critical that the prefect directly ordered the city to be closed down. With such a severe epidemic, how could anyone dare to leave the city?

Fortunately, when this situation was discovered on the first day, the prefect sent someone out to ask for help.

It was also because of this that they learned about Luan Cheng's situation.

Liangcheng is the closest place to Luancheng. The epidemic is so serious, so naturally he is worried about the infection coming here, so Mr. Li immediately reported the situation to the superiors.

The order from above was to summon the doctors in the city to go to Luancheng to treat illnesses and save people. However, none of the people who went there came back.

In less than five days, half of the people in Luan City died.

It's so serious that people on Liang's side don't dare to send anyone anymore.

He also ordered the city to be closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

After half a month, something happened again in Luancheng, and the people inside could no longer come out.

The city gate was just open, but they couldn't take a step out, no matter what kind of weapons they used, they couldn't beat it.

Although they looked anxious outside, they also felt relieved. If they couldn't get out, it meant that the disease couldn't spread.

Another month later, the lockdown order was lifted in Liangcheng, but people were still ordered not to go there.

Because there is no living person in Luan City. As long as you get closer, you can feel the biting cold and hear the miserable cry for help.

"Master Li, didn't the government report the situation in Luan City?"

When talking about this, Mr. Li also felt angry.

"To be fair, I've tried the discounts several times, but there's no news at all."

Needless to say, there must be someone causing trouble.

These are not the most important things now, and they are not under their jurisdiction.

"Master Li, you said those people had an infectious disease. Could you please describe the specific situation in detail?"

“The initial situation was a red rash on the body, which grew into spores within two days and finally grew into Ganoderma lucidum.

Once the Ganoderma lucidum grows, the whole person will age ten years, but within two days the whole person will become a withered skeleton.

Those Ganoderma lucidums were all blood red and were as big as a basin. "

It seems that it is indeed the same as what Fellow Daoist Gu said, which is the problem of those blood Ganoderma lucidum.

Fortunately, there are fellow Taoists over there, otherwise, they wouldn't be those people.

As time goes by, it becomes another city.

We need to tell Fellow Daoist Gu about the situation here and let her know.

People on her side who have been exposed to Blood Ganoderma should also pay attention.

There are so many people in Luan City, it is impossible for them all to eat the blood Ganoderma lucidum, so they

It doesn't just happen after eating it.

The seriousness of the matter was more serious than she expected.

After explaining the situation here to Gu Chao and Tianyi Sect, and learning that an elder from the sect was coming, Zhang Ye felt a little unsure.

To be honest, she was still a little frightened when she saw Luan Cheng's situation. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to protect him with several juniors.

Now that the elders are coming, I feel more at ease.

However, she was ready to go in first to check, "You guys wait here for the elders of the church to come over. I'll go check out the situation first."

The juniors were worried when they heard that the seniors wanted to go alone.

"Let's go with you so we can take care of you."

"Yes, Luan City is extremely dangerous. How can you go there alone?"

In the end, Zhang Ye went and said, "You can wait with peace of mind. If the situation goes wrong, I will withdraw immediately."

Gu Chao only received news from Zhang Ye after two days at home, and she went to the county seat again that day.

The situation in Luancheng cannot be reported, and Beijing must not know about it either. The situation there has to be reported through County Magistrate Huang.

On the way, I met someone from the county government, who came specifically to invite Gu Chao.

"Director Gu, are you going to the county government office?"

She was afraid that Gu Chao had something else to do, something had happened at the county government, and Mr. Huang asked her to come and ask for Director Gu as soon as possible.

"I'm just going to the county government office. What's the matter?"

"Isn't it just that something happened? Let's talk while walking!"

Just this morning, some of the people who gathered there had a rash, which is serious.

Magistrate Huang quickly moved the people who had the rash to another place and separated them from those who were not yet in trouble.

Now the entire county government is in panic, waiting for Director Gu to take charge of the overall situation.

It seems that the situation is really the same as what Zhang Ye said. Even if you don't eat the blood Ganoderma lucidum, you will still be infected, it just depends on the length of time.

When Gu Chao arrived at the county government office, he saw County Magistrate Huang who had become an ant on the hot pot.

County Magistrate Huang had already made a report and reported the situation here.

I also said that I might post it again, but that’s what happened.

There are so many people in the city, but I don’t know how many people have been exposed to it. The matter is really serious.

Just after it was discovered that someone had a rash in the morning, County Magistrate Huang issued a notice asking people who had been exposed to blood Ganoderma voluntarily to go to the Yamen to register.

He also asked the government officials to conduct door-to-door inspections to ensure that no one was missed.

If a common person who had contact with it concealed it, the consequences would be disastrous.

Fortunately, they released Taoist Master Gu's name, otherwise someone must be hiding it and not daring to say it.

With Daoist Chief Gu here, they felt more at ease, knowing that they could be saved. By noon, many people came to register.

I first visited those who had rashes and found that the rashes they developed were different from those caused by eating blood Ganoderma lucidum. This one was easier to solve than the previous one.
