Chapter 314 Plague Outbreak
Chapter 314 Plague Outbreak
The problems in the wholesale food market were equally huge, and at the same time, they wiped out Windlow's positive impression of Aurora.
I have been to large cities in China before, and I think the security and management in the cities are very good.
Now we have finally arrived at the small town. In fact, the ordinary markets in Zhendan are similar to those in the empire.
Although they are better than the markets of Kislev and Bretonnia, they are far inferior to the markets of Tyrell and Ulthuan.
There are many people, all kinds of goods, and it is crowded, just like all markets.
If this is where the vampire plague first broke out, then its spread must be no slower than within the Empire.
Coupled with the huge population in Zhendan, it will inevitably suffer even more terrible attacks.
Perhaps beneath the entire peaceful China, there are hidden problems that have not yet fully erupted.
This is not a paradise, it is just a human kingdom similar to the dwarves with a system and economy slightly better than the Empire.
In this way, Wendlow's feelings towards Zhendan were immediately dispelled. At any time, the moon in foreign countries is rounder.
Once I arrived at the local area, I found that the situation was very different from what I had observed.
In this way, you can look at all problems without any psychological burden and without any inferiority complex.
All the food in the entire market was infected by the vampire plague.
The main sources of infection are seafood and fish.
If ordinary meat and vegetables only have a layer of plague magic on the surface, then all the internal organs in the fish's stomach are purple-black plague magic.
With such a huge force, even an imperial businessman like Windlow who didn't know much about magic knew that the power behind it was definitely not just any nobody.
I can indeed absorb the plague magic here and then gather together.
But where can these plague magics be thrown?
It can't be landfilled.
The market investigation only made him realize the seriousness of the matter, but he had no idea how to deal with it.
"You mean all the food in the market is infected?"
The rat doctor has already taken all the preventive measures, including wearing a gas mask that fits his rat head perfectly.
His family, young and old, were all preparing various basic equipment and medicine prerequisites, but they stopped at this moment. It was too late to do anything now.
"Yes. Not only in all the videos, but I detected vampire magic on most of the people. This means that this city is being targeted. We need to leave immediately. There is no way to save it."
As Wendlow spoke, he called on Mousse to pack his luggage quickly.
It is the businessmen's duty to leave this troubled place as soon as possible before the plague breaks out.
"Why didn't the Jade Blood Taoist Temple notice such a severe vampire plague? I don't see any Jade Blood Taoist priests here either. This shouldn't be the case. This shouldn't be the case."
This rat doctor was actually immersed in self-blame, regretting that the situation was hopeless and there was no power to reverse it.
It was at this moment that a woman's scream was suddenly heard in the hotel, followed by the sound of pots and pans being broken one after another.
The screams of the crowd, the sounds of biting, and the sound of houses and wooden doors being smashed rang out almost at the same time.
The rat doctor immediately lay down beside the wall and saw the entire situation outside through a gap.
The plague broke out.
Those who were seriously infected turned into zombies almost in the blink of an eye, and then took advantage of the fact that their body functions were still intact during the transformation to chase after other ordinary people who had not yet mutated.
Bite, gnaw, dismember, and even lick the blood clean.
The ground was littered with all sorts of body parts and the cries of pain from people being eaten alive.
"Zombies? That's hard to deal with."
Mousse is quick-eyed and agile. As a dark elf, she has fought against basically any movable and immobile enemies.
It was not the first time that he had fought against zombies and vampires, so there was no need for him to be as frightened and horrified by zombies as other ratmen or Windlow were.
Instead of moving in a panic, he quickly pushed a cabinet in and successfully blocked the door. He also reinforced the doors and windows with various parts found in the house.
"Zombies don't have any offensive capabilities. Their nails and teeth have no way of penetrating armor, let alone hitting trained soldiers."
Mousse looked at Windlow and the group of ratmen.
"Even if zombies come to attack you, the chances of hitting and defending are very low. Considering that these are newly transformed zombies, their movement speed is not slow. If we go out now, I'm afraid we will be surrounded and killed."
"What we need to do now is to wait patiently for the zombies to disperse, or wait for the vampire controlling these zombies to be discovered."
The screams and shouts outside seemed to have nothing to do with the inside of this house. Only the rat man family was left hugging each other and shivering.
Whether in the Old World or in Cathay, whether it is the Cathay Ratmen or the Skaven, the morale is quite low, and once they encounter danger, they will be at a loss.
"It shouldn't be like this. It shouldn't be like this. The plague can't break out so quickly."
The ratman doctor had fallen into deep self-doubt. He judged that the plague would take at least a long time to go away, but why did it happen so quickly?
At this time, in the Zhendan Barracks in the city, most of the soldiers had turned into zombies due to infection by the plague. The most terrifying thing was that they were still wearing heavy armor during the transformation.
Some soldiers who were lucky enough not to change also found it difficult to break out of the siege and were slowly trapped to death.
At this moment, less than three hours had passed since the plague broke out, and there was no living person left outdoors in the entire city. The remaining survivors hid in their houses, waiting for the inevitable death.
Maybe he died from being bitten by zombies, or maybe he died of hunger.
Mousse looked at Wendlow helplessly, perhaps this guy was the culprit.
His ability to absorb magical winds is an uncontrollable passive skill.
It is very likely that when he arrived at the place where the crowd gathered, his passive skill was released, attracting the plague magic that had been lurking deep in the human body, causing the plague to break out prematurely.
Just as Mousse had judged, outside the city, a vampire army had barely managed to assemble.
They held muskets covered with barnacles and wore hats that only sailors would wear. Some of them had lost their arms and legs during the voyage and had replaced them with artificial legs and hook hands.
"First mate, first mate, didn't the captain say that the plague would last at least two months? Why did it break out so quickly?"
This vampire army obviously has not been fully assembled, and the highest position here is only the first mate.
The first mate was obviously also surprised by this scene, as long periods of sailing and commanding had cultivated his ability to adapt to changing circumstances.
"If there is an outbreak in advance, we should take action in advance! Let's go now and control the zombies! Then we can take over this city! We will have our pirate stronghold!"
