The medicine brought by Qian Santai was very effective. In less than two days, the garrison troops in the camp could see obvious signs of improvement. However, there were still people who could not make it through. Death was inevitable. The focus was on the plague. It did not continue to worsen the host. Most of those who died were already dying. They were hanging with only one breath. As soon as the breath disappeared, the person died immediately.
The better news is that the second batch of medicines will arrive soon, which makes everyone who has consumed nearly half of the medicines even more relieved. When the 3,000 garrison is almost recovered, it will be the end of the plague. Xiao Jinzi’s father I have been so busy these two days, because the news leaked out somehow, that many residents in Seoul who were infected with the Black Death ran out to find the garrison garrison to seek medical treatment and help in order to survive, and the number of people There are more and more, and it is about to exceed the number of the garrison here. If they continue to gather, I am afraid that all the survivors in Seoul will gather here, and Seoul will completely become an empty ghost town.
This situation is absolutely not allowed on the Golden List. Since Seoul is to be rebuilt, population is indispensable. A city cannot be full of troops or without troops. These are all important populations that are indispensable for the future development of Seoul. However, They cannot be driven back to the city. Even if the surviving population in Seoul is small, it is estimated to be more than 10,000 or 20,000. After all, it is obvious to all how prosperous Seoul was before and how tense the population was. So many people People gathering here, eating, drinking, and having sex need someone to figure out a solution. Once there are too many people, it will be troublesome.
For a while, Ma Tao suspected that Captain Wei had deliberately leaked the secret in order to cause trouble for them. However, this did not make Jinbang feel any difficulty. On the contrary, he seemed very happy. , it is really incomprehensible. More and more people will only make Ma Tao feel like his head is getting big. It takes a lot of effort just to deal with these people's daily problems, but next, Ma Tao will understand Why are you so happy after winning the gold medal?
The next day, a notice was posted.
The content is very simple, that is, all Black Death patients, regardless of age or sex, who come for treatment must clear out a corpse in the city before they can continue treatment, otherwise there will be no chance of treatment.
As soon as this announcement came out, Ma Tao immediately exclaimed that it was a brilliant and serious way to kill two birds with one stone.
All the residents in the town needed to be treated, but Xiao Jinzi’s father directly maximized the use of these people who needed to be treated no matter what. Each person brought out a corpse every day, which looked very relaxed, because now the city was full of people. They are all corpses, but it won’t take long for this situation to be cleaned up by those who are trying to survive. They are now infected with the plague, so naturally they don’t care whether they are infected, but the more they go on, the more likely they are to survive. , there will be fewer and fewer corpses, and in the end, no corpse will be left behind. It not only achieves the purpose of cleaning up the town but also cures the plague on them. It is really a brilliant idea.
In this way, the 3,000 garrison only needed to dig holes outside the city and bury or burn the corpses. With this method alone, almost all the surviving personnel in Seoul were mobilized.
However, it is not possible to completely control this sudden disaster in a few days. To solve the problem of the Black Death, we need to completely cut off its source of transmission, which means curing the last patient infected with the disease. It will be a long war, and this high-pressure state must be maintained for a long time to come.
That night, Xiao Jinzi's father came to see Ma Tao and others alone again, with one meaning: Ma Tao must take Xiao Jinzi away from here, and the sooner the better.
At this moment, Seoul is still full of crises, the virus is raging, and Captain Wei is waiting patiently and watching with eager eyes. Natural and man-made disasters are gathering here. What Jin Bang is most worried about is his son's comfort. For him, Xiao Jinzi is here. His biggest worry is that although this brat has grown up and even has enough strength to protect himself, Xiao Jinzi has never experienced the unpredictability of people's hearts. Many times, killings are done without swords and guns, which is even more disturbing. What I'm worried about is that this kid is still disobedient. Jinbang can't take care of him at all, and he is more likely to be plotted. Once something happens to Xiao Jinzi, there is no need to think about it. It is impossible for him to withstand the blow. So in Jinbang's view, Xiao Jinzi must Walk.
At first, Xiao Jinzi disagreed with everything he said. As soon as his stubborn temper started to show up, even his father had nothing to do with him. Just because of this inseparable matter, the father and son almost had an argument that turned red and thick in the neck. In the end, Xiao Jinzi He simply stopped being stubborn with his father and shut up. You guys said whatever you wanted, but I didn't listen. Jinbang was so angry that he almost took action.
Xiao Jinzi was even more impulsive to get the rifle and kill Wei Biao first, but if the matter could be solved so simply, it would be impossible. Seoul is currently in dire straits, but it is also at a turning point of renewal. , everything can start over, all over again, all the rules can be broken and rewritten, and it’s hard to say who will write this in the end.
Everyone can guess that Captain Wei Biao and Wei Wei have ideas, but what about those who also have these ideas that are not mentioned? There are many people who are hiding in the dark and ready to replace them at any time. At this moment, Jin Bang and Wei Biao are the two highest-ranking people, and their fight is the most obvious. But there are also many people below them. These are all unstable factors, sources of danger and objects of suspicion. We have to be careful. It is easy to kill Wei Biao, Commander Wei, but what to do with the countless Wei Biao that will follow? Can we kill them all? Who can guarantee? The newcomer will not become the next Wei Biao.
The relationship in Seoul at this moment is really like a deck of playing cards. The current identities of Jin Bang and Captain Wei are like the big and small kings in this deck of playing cards. The rules of poker are that if the big king is gone, the little king is the biggest, and if the little king is gone, there will still be nothing left. From the biggest to the smallest, everyone knows that if they kill the ones above their heads, it will be a different world.
"Don't you understand yet? Your leaving is the greatest protection for your parents, so you must go."
Ma Tao looked at this extremely stubborn face and did not act like his father. Instead, he calmed down before speaking.
"If I leave, what will happen if that person named Wei harms my parents? If I don't leave, I won't be afraid of letting him harm me!"
Xiao Jinzi looked at Ma Tao, and it was still his previous words.
"you……"
Upon hearing this, the livid Jin Bang raised his hand again and was about to slap him. Xiao Jinzi subconsciously measured his body.
"uncle"
Ma Tao quickly stopped him, and then looked at Xiao Jinzi.
It was also Xiao Jinzi who made his father so angry. Not only were Gao Han, Su Lanyu and the others around him, but there were also Qian Santai and ten-year-old Xiao Luobo. It was really a loss of face for Jin Bang to slap him in the face. Normally, , Jinbang would not be like this at all, but the situation at this time is different from the past, and it must not be the same. Jinbang also knew that he had lost his temper, and glanced at Ma Tao's hand holding his wrist, and slowly put his hand down, but it was also Because of face, he didn't say anything.
"Xiao Jinzi, do you know that if you don't leave, you are not helping them, but on the contrary, you are harming your parents?"
Since conventional persuasion was of no use, Ma Tao could only find another way to explain the matter.
Seeing that Xiao Jinzi lowered his head and said nothing, Ma Tao continued, "Maybe you haven't noticed yet, but today you are no longer the kid who was fighting with people in the bar. That's right, whether you admit it or not, you Now you are someone who can make your parents proud enough. Similarly, you are the backing of their strength. Because of you, everyone has to be wary, because they know that once someone dares to mess around, that person will be afraid of them. People with strength will definitely come back to look for them, do you understand what I’m saying?”
"But wouldn't it make them more afraid if I stay here?"
Sure enough, when he heard Ma Tao's slightly complimentary words, Xiao Jinzi's brows relaxed a little, but he still didn't want to leave.
"Ma Tao means that what you have to do is to make everyone afraid. In other words, only when you are strong enough can the people you want to protect be truly safe."
Gao Han crossed his shoulders and interjected.
"Yes, think about it, if you were a gold-level bounty hunter, would anyone dare to challenge you?"
When Ma Tao saw the door, he immediately knew what to do, and Jinbang also realized what Ma Tao was going to do.
Xiao Jinzi belongs to the donkey, so you have to brush it along the way. If it comes backwards, you will be screwed if it kicks you.
"Son, Ma Tao is right. You shouldn't stick to this place, you should go to a wider place. I'm old and can't walk anymore, but you are different. I really look forward to seeing you become a gold hunter. That day, be obedient and follow Ma Tao to a more prosperous world."
Jin Bang looked at Xiao Jinzi's face, which looked similar to his own when he was young, but he was much stronger than he was then.
Jinbang knew that this boy had really grown up. He thought that he was not very optimistic about his ideas at the beginning, but he never thought that if this boy had not stubbornly ran away from home, today, I am afraid that the fate of their family would be different. Having become someone else's prisoner, Jin Bang must admit that it was Xiao Jinzi who saved the couple from this disaster, and was saved by his own son. This is not embarrassing, but makes Jin Bang feel that he should be proud of himself. Seeing with my own eyes that my son is getting better and better, more mature and stronger, I am really happy. Nothing can make a father happier than seeing my son succeed with my own eyes.
"A gold-level glory hunter... I will definitely do it..."
Xiao Jinzi murmured to himself.
Xiao Jinzi really yearns for this title.
"Only if you become stronger and stronger can you scare away potential enemies, so that they don't dare to be arrogant, let alone mess around. You can make your father do it without any scruples. Do you understand?"
After Ma Tao finished speaking, he saw him nodding his head in understanding, and a smile appeared on his lips.
OK, the next step is to confirm the people who leave. Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi must go, Gao Han and Su Lanyu are no exception, sister is a must, Uncle Guang and Xiaoluobo are left behind, although Seoul is still so It was dangerous, but there was no other way. They were non-combatants. It was simply unrealistic to follow Ma Tao and the others around, so they were left in Seoul by Ma Tao. Now there is no shortage of medicines in Seoul, even if there is really a lack of trust. But what’s missing is the two of them. Xiao Jinzi’s father has promised to take good care of them. Qian Santai also helps Jinbang rebuild Seoul. He is Seoul’s reliance at this moment. Every aspect of Seoul cannot do without him. Finally, An Ruo .
At this time, Anruo was still at No. 1018, South District, Seoul. The reason was that her parents still needed to be taken care of, so she and her brother Ankang wanted to take care of their recovering parents, so she took the initiative to stay. In response, Xiao Jinzi had no way to object.
Ginseng medicine is very powerful, but it is also corresponding. The body damaged by this virus is not as effective as the limb damage caused by trauma, but needs to be taken step by step. Ordinary trauma can be solved with one ginseng pill, and more serious injuries can be solved. You can also use Codonopsis pilosula, but the therapeutic effects of ginseng pills and Codonopsis pilosula are all on newly damaged tissue cells. There is no way to copy and replace those that have become necrotic. In fact, the recovery effect of ginseng medicine is almost the same as that of Codonopsis pilosula. But the key point is that ginseng medicine has the function of repairing cell damage and dispelling viruses in the body. In other words, every use of ginseng medicine is equivalent to a thorough cleansing of the body. You can imagine how precious it is. .
At dawn the next day, after having a quick bite to eat, five people, including my sister, packed up and left the garrison camp.
There was no welcome ceremony. Since he had decided to leave, it was better to leave as soon as possible. Ma Tao did not wake anyone up and left without anyone noticing. It would be best to arrive without anyone noticing, so that the enemy could not figure it out. Will not act rashly.
Just when Ma Tao and the other five were about to get on the chariot after packing up, Qian Santai appeared in front of them.
"Unexpectedly, Commissioner Kim told me that you were leaving, so I'm here to see you off."
The slightly fat Qian Santai had obviously been waiting for the three tanks they parked, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a coincidence.
"I saw that you were very tired these past few days, so I didn't plan to notify you. I didn't expect you to come anyway."
Ma Tao smiled at him, walked up and gave the businessman a big hug.
"I still have time to see you off."
After the hug, Qian Santai said cheerfully, and then glanced at the five of them.
"Are there enough medicines?"
Maybe he was busy during this period. When he saw him, Ma Tao always wanted to ask something about medicines.
"Don't worry, I've stocked up on a lot of goods, I'm sure there will be enough."
Qian Santai answered.
"Thanks"
These two words were spoken by Xiao Jinzi next to Ma Tao. Although his voice was not loud, it was very clear.
Qian Santai was a little surprised. This was the first time that Xiao Jinzi said thank you to him. This not only represented his gratitude, but also represented that he was recognized by this boy.
After understanding this, Qian Santai smiled at him and said softly, "You're welcome, Seoul. After all, this is the place where I was born and raised. Drink water and think about sweet things. This is what I should do when I have the ability."
Xiao Jinzi nodded slightly and stared at Qian Santai's long-lost smiling face. From the other party's gaze, he felt a long-awaited eagerness and a hint of kindness. Feeling, a layer of mist seemed to appear in front of his eyes, and his eyes gradually became moist.
Turning his head, Xiao Jinzi turned his eyes elsewhere, not meeting Qian Santai's eyes. At this moment, he was really grateful to this fat businessman. Without him, his parents might still be there. The man surnamed Wei was holding him in his hands. Without him, Seoul would probably become an empty ghost town in the end. And he was giving all the time without thinking about anything in return. Xiao Jinzi was not stupid, and those medicines were also It wasn't brought by the strong wind, but it was all countless money. The money that was being transported to Seoul in a steady stream at this moment was no less than the money that was being transported to Seoul in a steady stream. These are enough to illustrate this person's benevolence and righteousness.
“There’s one thing I don’t know if you have ever thought about”
Qian Santai looked at Ma Tao and the five of them and suddenly asked again.
"What's up?"
Ma Tao didn't know what he was talking about.
"I have asked many people these days, and they all said that two strange people came to Seoul before. As soon as these two people left, this terrible plague began to spread in Seoul."
Qian Santai looked at the faces of Ma Tao and others as he spoke.
"What kind of people are you two?"
When mentioning the initial appearance of the plague, Ma Tao and Xiao Jinzi frowned instantly.
How the Black Death, which spread so horribly, appeared, has always been a mystery that has troubled Wai Ma Tao's mind. It's not that he didn't want to know, and he really didn't find out. This plague seemed to appear out of thin air in Seoul, and suddenly It appeared immediately, and spread rapidly in the city in less than two days. On the fourth day, people with relatively weak constitutions had already begun to die. Now when I heard Qian Santai say this, he immediately Here comes the spirit.
Xiao Jinzi was completely out of anger, because from the words described by Qian Santai, it was obvious that the Black Death that spread so horribly was not a sudden natural disaster, but a man-made disaster, which was very likely to have occurred early. It was a premeditated man-made disaster. If this was the case, then this person had almost killed everyone in the city. He would definitely not be able to survive, and it would be faster than killing him.
"I also found out the results after inquiring among the people who came for treatment. You know, such a large-scale virus outbreak will also produce many people who have antibodies to the virus. I went to find a few, and they all said that there are two There are people wearing cloaks whose faces are invisible, but they smell very, very very smelly, and some people have even seen them."
Speaking of this, Qian Santai was also very careful with his weapons.
"Where did these two people come from? Did you say where these people went in the end?"
Ma Tao continued to ask.
"No"
Qian Santai answered simply, shook his head, and continued, "No one knows how they came or where they went. As soon as they left the city, they seemed to have evaporated and disappeared without a trace. "Without a trace"
"I see"
Ma Tao stroked his chin with his hand and thought for a while before answering.
"Brother Tao, who are these two people? Why do they appear in Seoul?"
Xiao Jinzi said what he was thinking, and then stamped his feet angrily, saying with a fierce look on his face, "Don't let me find these two people, otherwise I will use cannons to entertain these two bastards."
"You're thinking too early. Now we don't even know whether these two are human beings."
Ma Tao glanced at him and said.
"Yes, I suspected that too."
Qian Santai answered.
"What is it if it's not a human being?"
Xiao Jinzi was stunned for a moment, but then he came to his senses.
At this point, not only Ma Tao, Qian Santai and Xiao Jinzi, but also Gao Han and Su Lanyu looked like they were frowning.
Everyone knows what the last two sentences of Ma Tao and Qian Santai mean.
If it's not a human, it can only be a monster with human form. If it's a monster, then we have to mention a big monster that everyone knows and the originator of monsters, the super artificial intelligence computer host Novo that rebelled against mankind. Ya, the computer that destroyed human civilization.
All this time, Ma Tao has received no news about the host computer Noah. The monsters raging outside are just the monsters created by Noah. Not only Ma Tao, but also Gao Han and Su Lanyu have almost forgotten about Noah. This god-like artificial intelligence.
In the past, Noah was so cruel that he could be said to kill all human strongholds he discovered. He would not be polite to the human strongholds he discovered. He would definitely assemble a large number of monster armies or send some BOSS-level monsters to completely destroy them. I don’t know when Noah suddenly became benevolent and disappeared from human thoughts little by little, so that when mentioning Noah, most people did not feel fear or despair. This time Seoul disappeared If Noah was really responsible for the recurrence of the Black Death plague that lasted for nearly a thousand years, it would be terrible to imagine.
"It's almost dawn, I should go"
Qian Santai said that, without further words, he glanced at Ma Tao and turned to leave.
In fact, Qian Santai is also betting. If things turn out to be what they think now, whoever has the stronger fist will definitely win in the end. Against Noah, the power of one person and two people is completely negligible. Qian Santai is Ma Tao saw the possibility, so he was betting, he was investing in Ma Tao, so that one day he would have a place to seek shelter when the world ended. As for why he singled out Ma Tao, maybe it came from Qian Santai When I first saw Ma Tao, I must have been destined by God.
Looking at the three chariots that had driven out of the woods, Qian Santai took a deep breath and sighed.
Originally, Ma Tao planned to use the fax device of No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 cars to leave Seoul. However, considering that there might be viruses remaining on their cars and clothes, he decided to find a safe place to repair them first.
