Chapter 112 112. Do my best(2/2)
Many doctors only feel a slight sense of uneasiness at the beginning.
When there are only a few cases, it cannot be called a plague.
This kind of thing starts out as an exception, but in a very short period of time, it will turn into a disaster.
For ordinary people, just do some preventive measures.
Night gradually fell.
Looking down at this city from the window, it is still so prosperous, a super metropolis that is full of life and wealth.
But the word "plague" began to spread in the streets.
This word not only has a medical connotation, but also carries a series of heavy and gloomy images, which are very inconsistent with the mood of New Yokohama.
This super metropolis has just lit up its neon lights at this time, and it can only be said to be the beginning of a nightlife of excitement and excitement; its atmosphere is both joyful and melancholy - if the two can coexist, but in general, at least for some people
It is joy for people with money.
Only some medical practitioners recalled the disaster in history when they heard the news.
In Athens, which was hit by the plague, nearly 1/2 of the population died. The entire Athens was almost destroyed, and even the birds flew away without a trace. In the ancient city of Guangzhou, the streets and alleys were filled with silent dying patients, and there were hundreds of thousands of them.

, drove the condemned prisoners and pushed the bloody corpses into caves; in the hospital in Constantinople, patients were dragged out with hooks and burned on wet and rotten beds on the hard mud floor; in the Milan cemetery, there were piles of people who had not yet expired;
Carload after carload of corpses in London...
The most frightening symbol is the "doctor beak" that could be seen everywhere on the streets when the Black Death was rampant.
These brave rebels turned into terrifying messengers of death in people's hearts simply because the plague was too terrifying.
"Spots, oh, rosy spots
Pockets full of floral fragrance
Ah sneeze! Ah sneeze!
We're all screwed."
Rose refers to the rose-like rash that appeared when the Black Death occurred. The streets were filled with the fragrance of flowers. From this popular folk song, we can get a glimpse of the horror of European society at that time.
But now, Shin-Yokohama is still in the midst of a carnival.
In front of the monastery church, Tokisaki looked at the brightly lit city in the distance, while thinking of the pictures about the plague described in books: Muscovites set up firewood piles by the Moskva River to burn corpses infected with the disease.
There was not enough space in the pyre, so in order to compete for the position to place the corpses of their loved ones, the living people held torches and fought with each other.
The lifeless river water reflects the light of the burning pyre, the sparks of the torch illuminate the living people who were beaten to death by the dead, and the foul-smelling smoke rises into the night sky... This kind of picture will come to mind when you think about it.
Feel terrible.
"Search, come on..."
Muttering to himself, Tokisaki felt a little hope ignited in his heart.
In the afternoon, she summarized the situation of Sister Marlene's injuries and listed some potentially effective information and methods. She sent these to the section chief, who replied to her and said that Li Ting had a rather evil prescription.
He is learning about the effectiveness of the medicine...
If the plague really spreads, the number of deaths may be in the tens of millions...
At this moment, the adjutant lady wished she could grow a pair of wings and fly to her superior's side to assist her.

Nanwan Town.
From the window of the church, Nance looked at the steep cliffs of the mountains in the distance.
The sun was already very low at this time, but there was still a little sunset glow in the west, and the sky was blood red.
The sunset slanted into the church, seeming to bleed the deserted building, and the face of the God's statue turned scarlet. On the weathered window lattice behind the statue, a crow was trying its best to sing a hoarse cry.
A patient by the window seemed to be stunned, his mouth opened wide, and he was frightened by what he heard.
As he took his last breath, the sun disappeared with his life.
The sunset has also faded away.
The color of the sky is dim and gradually disappears as night falls, and the surrounding scenery gradually becomes darker.
"Go back and come back tomorrow." Li Ting came over with a gas lamp and handed it to him. "Tomorrow I will go into the mountains with the hunters to look for strange beasts infected with gluttony magic. If you are free, you can come with me.
.”
Because of the dim light, he looked much older than when we first saw him.
The skin is sagging, the hair is as tangled as a plant planted in the wrong place, and there are brown spots all over the face. He is a truly tired old man. Everyone will age and die, and no genius seed expert can avoid it.
"Do you need any help?" Nance asked him. "If you need people or equipment, I can help."
After a moment of silence, Li Ting said: "I am not a doctor. From my own non-professional perspective, this plague bacteria can enlarge the spleen four times in three days and increase the mesenteric ganglion to the size of an orange.
and has a paste-like texture. Current medical
There is nothing we can do about this. In less than two months, tens of millions of people in California may die. If you can't bear to see such a scene, please use your best ability to kill all the potion masters in California as much as possible.
Gather them together and let them prepare the standard medicine."
Nance nodded solemnly: "Try my best."
"The best thing is that you can get a potion master to come over tonight," Li Ting said. "We will go into the mountains tomorrow. It may take a week to go back and forth. Having a potion master by your side can save money."
A lot of trial time.”
"I am."
"……Ha ha."
Nance walked out of the church and walked back to Li's house.
The gas lamp illuminated the snow under his feet. As he walked, he suddenly smiled helplessly.
Miss Su has been clamoring to go into the mountains to hunt strange beasts, and now she finally got her wish. I don’t know if she can fulfill her promise...
