The sound of thunder penetrated into Shi Jin's ears, making him startled. The palm of his hand that was uncovering the corpse also trembled. Before Shi Jin could see the true appearance of the human body after the corpse was transformed, suddenly behind him
He stretched out his arms. Immediately, someone hugged Shi Jin from behind and dragged him back, as if he was afraid of being contaminated.
While Shi Jin was being dragged back a few times, he turned around to look at the person coming, and it turned out to be Li Baicao.
"You are so brave. If you can't lift this sheet, you are really seeking death!" Li Baicao looked at Shi Jindao anxiously.
Shi Jin didn't seem to be as cautious as Li Baicao. He still wanted to open it and take a look to see if it was really as scary as the rumors. However, Shi Jin took a few steps forward and didn't open another one.
Li Baicao took three steps at a time and rushed in front of Shi Jin. He held down Shi Jin's hand that wanted to lift the shroud, and the other hand was already holding a thick gauze to cover Shi Jin's body.
Enter the mouth and nose.
"Be careful of corpse poison!" Li Baicao was anxious, pulling him into the house and saying: "Do you know how terrible corpse poison is! I just sealed it with white wax, and you opened it. The corpse breath will be exposed
It’s amazing to come out!”
"I just want to see..."
"Alas -" Li Baicao didn't care about Shi Jin, and hurriedly said to several young men who were new to the drugstore: "Quickly cut down more peach trees, erect wooden towers, and burn those corpses quickly!"
The two young men who took the order murmured and walked away quickly. At this time, Li Baicao's expression softened slightly, and he faced Shi Jin like this. Because the matter was too complicated, he didn't know where to start.
Speaking of.
However, Shi Jin had many questions in his mind, so he couldn't bear it and said first: "Where is Chen Da?"
"He is recovering from his injuries in the secret room in my backyard. Boss, if anything happens, just ask me to come." Li Baicao pointed to the back and lowered his voice and said in Shi Jin's ear.
Shi Jin shook his head and said: "I also heard the report from the boy that Chen Da ordered the well to be closed. I thought he didn't recover well and started struggling again. He is still recovering from his injuries, so that's good. But
…What’s going on with this corpse transformation?”
Speaking of this, Li Baicao's brows tightened again, and he said seriously: "This is not called corpse transformation, it is corpse poison!"
"You mean, this is a poison?"
Li Baicao nodded and continued: "Yes, I tested it with a silver needle. The source of this poison is in the well in Kong Ji Dyeing House. Anyone who drinks the water from this well will be poisoned in any degree or depth."
At first, several people came to seek medical treatment. I thought it was ordinary rheumatism that blocked the smooth flow of meridians and caused edema all over the body. I was busy treating the wounded and didn’t pay much attention to it. But..."
Li Baicao sighed, and seeing that Shi Jin was listening carefully, he continued: "However, it didn't take long before several families came to seek medical treatment one after another, and some even brought patients directly.
With these same symptoms, I thought they were some kind of disease caused by the corrosion being buried too shallowly. But when I saw that the patients' whole bodies were stiff, I suddenly remembered that my master had once talked about a strange and terrible disease, which was this.
Corpse poison."
"Baicao, will you turn into a zombie if you are poisoned by corpse poison?" Shi Jin was also worried, and those things he had heard from hearsay again came to Shi Jin's mind.
Li Baicao shook his head, but the sadness on his face still persisted, and he sighed: "Zombies are not made like this, but people infected with corpse poison will eventually have their whole bodies fester and die of pain and itching. What's even more terrifying is that,
This poison can be spread by water or wind, and its onset is very fast..."
"Ah——!" Shi Jin was secretly surprised when he heard this. No wonder Li Baicao was so panicked just now, and no wonder Li Baicao wanted to use a thin layer of wax on the outside of the shroud to seal it. Now something like this happened in the city
Horrible things, not to mention shaking the morale of the army, are contagious like this, and if the vicious cycle continues, this city will become a dead city full of corpses.
"Baicao, do we have an antidote for this corpse poison? Is it because we are short of medicinal materials and can't prepare it?"
Li Baicao nodded, shook his head, and said: "The medicinal materials are almost out of stock. Not to mention the medicine to detoxify corpses, even the Marching Pill is almost out of stock, but..."
Li Baicao said this call in three steps, and every "but" affected Shi Jin, making his heart hang in his throat again and again.
At this moment, when Shi Jin heard "but" one after another, his heart beat faster. He knew that this "but" meant that the difficulties he was facing were not just the lack of medicinal materials, but also bigger ones.
Trouble lies ahead.
At this time, Li Baicao paused and said: "However, I have never cured this corpse poison, let alone how to prepare the antidote for this corpse poison."
When Shi Jin heard this, his beating heart suddenly became colder. He gritted his teeth and said: "In this case, we must take the overall situation into consideration and be cruel...burn all the poisoned people."
!”
"Dead people must be burned, but how can we do it to people who are still alive? Originally, my master left me a book called "Shun Tian Shu", which covers all kinds of difficult and complicated diseases.
On weekdays, whenever I encounter any confusion, I will ask for this book to seek remedies."
When Shi Jin heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Baicao, could it be that the solution to this corpse poison is also in this "Book of Shuntian"? Hurry and bring it to me, and I will find a way to collect the necessary medicine for you.
"Shi Jin said, and put his hand on Li Baicao's shoulder to go with him to get the book. However, Li Baicao had no intention of leaving. Shi Jin looked sideways and saw Li Baicao's expression of embarrassment. Shi Jin was so embarrassed.
I was a little confused and asked hurriedly: "Isn't it possible that this book can't be read to outsiders casually?"
"It's not that, but... I usually put it on the bookshelf in the middle of the back room for easy reference, but when I went to pick it up today, I found..."
"But what?" Shi Jin was once again so frightened by Li Baicao's words that he did not dare to speak out.
Li Baicao sighed deeply and said, "But he's gone!"
"Ah! How could this happen..." Shi Jin's eyes widened in shock. He finally heard a breakthrough, but was dismissed by Li Baicao with the word "but".
Although Shi Jin had a gloomy look on his face, he had an intuition that made him feel that these accidents all happened for a reason, and they were not all connected by simple turns one after another. The strange things among them were all an organic whole, and they were all linked together.
There must be some conspiracy behind it. At this moment, there must be a person, or a group of people, quietly watching in the dark, watching innocent people fall one after another, watching the city becoming more and more chaotic.
, looking at Shi Jin and the others without a clue, struggling in this increasingly worse situation.
They must be smiling happily at this moment...
However, your complacency will not last long!
Shi Jin secretly clenched his fists and said to Li Baicao: "Let's go to the well at Kongji Dyeing House and have a look!" After that, he led a group of people to get on their horses and ride quickly in the direction of Kongji Dyeing House.
