Chapter 429 Stop

The infected are all lunatics, lunatics controlled by appetite.

They will only madly chase fresh flesh and gnaw and devour it. They will not think or hide. Unless there is no living person around, they will temporarily calm down. Once they see a living person, they will act like Leonard and the day before yesterday. His mother was so violent and hurtful.

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 them. 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. Those infected people seem to be under control, and what controls them is probably their mother 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's obviously something wrong here, so I'm going to take a look."

"Okay, then you go, I will 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. People, they don’t have to worry about getting hurt.”

Terry was stunned for a moment, then ran out like crazy. Following a roar that Lynch couldn't understand, a wave of cheers came from outside.

Lynch sighed. These professional soldiers are human beings too. 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. Only six soldiers died in total. Otherwise, morale would have been low. It collapsed.

"Take this with you."

With that said, Dr. Swain handed over a few bottles of potion. They were green and green, which made people's hair stand on end. Lynch wanted to draw a black skull on them, which would be more suitable for the occasion.

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 places where the incidents occurred were said to be distributed in different locations in the city, but in fact they were mostly scattered around the drying ground. As soon as Lynch and the other four arrived at the drying ground, they saw a group of citizens and surviving travelers gathered around the empty ground making a lot of noise and going crazy. The 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.

Not having 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 inside could be heard.

"Hit me hard."

"He was the one who caused it."

"It's such an inhumane thing that people won't even do it for money."

"Beat him quickly."

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 was covered with blood after being beaten. He was holding his 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. He has harmed so many people. He should be beaten to death now."

Um?

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 surrounding citizens to let them continue the entertainment, he immediately cried and said everything. .

In fact, it was really his fault.

The unlucky ones who were infected last night bought flour and asked the tavern owner to bake bread. The black-hearted owner secretly mixed in some low-quality white flour and baked almost twice the amount, and then secretly sold it to several people. customer.

Not just travelers, but also local citizens.

After last night's outbreak was brought under control, Terry and Lynch did not reveal that the source of the contamination was the flour. Therefore, it was not until this moment that the citizens realized that the city was full of biting lunatics these past few days. There's something wrong with the grains, and just a little flour makes so many people crazy.

No one thought of the city lord's problem. After realizing something was wrong, the citizens focused their attention on the food in the barn. The terrifying effect made everyone terrified. As they rushed to tell each other, more and more people Citizens gathered around the drying ground.

Before, Lynch and others were very relieved that they did not deal with these new grains, but the citizens were not that big-hearted.

You must not keep such a dangerous thing, otherwise it will be troublesome if it is eaten by a rat and bites people, not to mention what happens 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 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 worriedly asked Lynch and his party: "We don't need to stop them."

Seeing that the barn was about to be emptied, 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's better to burn them. Anyway, the sample has been left.”

Knight Terry was relieved and said with a wry smile: "Let's wait a little. I'm afraid they didn't control it and let the fire 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.”

Um.

Um?

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?"

"Yeah, what's the 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 didn't control the situation in advance and let those people start going 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 was only because we had blocked the disaster several times before the outbreak that people never 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."
