(Some people say that the protagonist can take the initiative to infect the virus and make everyone believe that zombies exist. I won’t say whether this is unethical, but it is very likely that the book will be sealed.)
To be honest, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhao Yanxun’s proposal to close the city under martial law is reasonable.
However, "millions of water workers depend on their food and clothing". If the city is sealed off, the powerful people in the city will lose a lot of money.
What's more, the zombie outbreak has not yet occurred, and the truth of the matter for the powerful has yet to be verified.
Before the knife was placed on their necks, how could they easily cut off everyone's wealth just because of the words of a childish boy like Zhao Yanxun?
Don't say that Tian Jingtong can't make up his mind. Even if he orders martial law arbitrarily, there will be problems if he continues to implement it.
Power has always come from the bottom up, not from the top down. Tian Jingtong understands this truth very well.
Sitting in the sedan chair, Tian Jingtong looked worried. There were too many things worrying him now.
In addition to worrying about Zhao Yanxun's impeachment, he will also have to consider dealing with the monster he saw today.
Is it really necessary to close the city under martial law? This decision is undoubtedly difficult to make.
"Send someone to investigate outside the city to see if it is really as evil as King Yong said!" Tian Jingtong said solemnly.
Combined with the abnormal situation in the delivery of official documents in recent days, Tian Jingtong has already become seventy-eight percent convinced that the monster has caused disaster.
However, in terms of his understanding of the disaster caused by monsters, he still only believed in the severe plague.
At this moment, not only Tian Jingtong was worried, but the other officials behind his sedan were also worried at this moment.
These people have also bought a lot of properties in the local area. If Zhao Yanxun is really as evil as what Zhao Yanxun said, then their losses will be huge.
Everyone had different thoughts and soon arrived outside the door of He Zhengyang's mansion.
He Zhengyang's eldest son, He Wenlin, is already waiting outside the gate. As the eldest son, he has not served as an official.
"Welcome you all!" He Wenlin bowed and said. He had the honor of being a civil servant, so he didn't have to kneel down to salute.
Tian Jingtong walked in front and forgot about the lintel of He Mansion, and then asked: "How is your father?"
He Wenlin looked sad and replied: "Father, he was seriously injured. He is lying on the bed now, and the doctor is treating his wounds!"
"Take us in and have a look!" Tian Jingtong said solemnly.
He had many questions in his mind, especially about the situation outside the city. He Zhengyang must know something.
Under the leadership of He Wenlin, a group of officials entered the kimono one after another, while the police officers and police officers stayed outside.
Soon they arrived outside a room, where doctors were treating wounds, accompanied by He Zhengyang's screams.
The room was very large. Under the leadership of Tian Jingtong, all the officials entered the room.
"Is it...the Governor?" He Zhengyang answered, enduring the severe pain.
At this moment, he felt a burning pain from the wound, and he had violent thoughts in his mind, wanting to stab the doctor who treated him to death.
"Master He, what's going on with you? Didn't I ask you to go out to find King Yong?" Tian Jingtong asked in a deep voice.
Mentioning this incident brought back bad memories for He Zhengyang, so much so that he still felt scared at this moment.
"Sir... we didn't even get to Hejiazhuang when we encountered a large group of monsters and the entire team was scattered!"
"Monster? What kind of monster?" Tian Jingtong asked anxiously.
"A group of ferocious-looking, bloodthirsty and cruel monsters... They are not afraid of death and do not avoid the edge of a knife. They bite everyone they see and cannot even kill them!"
He Zhengyang's words corroborate what Zhao Yanxun said, and the existence of the monster has been proven in the minds of Tian Jingtong and others.
"Where are the others?" Cheng Wenguang couldn't help but ask.
"They were all bitten to death or fled in all directions. I was almost caught by a monster. Fortunately, my hands and feet were numb...and I only managed to survive by climbing up a tree!"
In the face of desperate situations, people can unleash unprecedented potential, as is the case with He Zhengyang.
"Then how did you escape?" Cheng Wenguang asked next.
"I stayed in the tree all night. At dawn, someone passed by the roadside. All the monsters left under the tree pounced on me. Only in this way did I escape with my life!"
At this time, the doctor tightened the bandage, and the pain made He Zhengyang scream again, and then he kicked him out.
"You bastard...don't you know how to be gentler?" He Zhengyang scolded him.
"Then you escaped back?" Cheng Wenguang frowned.
Looking at Cheng Wenguang, He Zhengyang raised his eyebrows: "Escape now? How easy is that?"
"Coming back from Zhuangzi, I encountered these monsters along the way. I was hiding all the way back!"
His line of work can be said to have a narrow escape from death. Not to mention other dangers, the distance of dozens of miles is a big difficulty for He Zhengyang.
At this time, Tian Jingtong said: "Is it possible that the situation has become so corrupt?"
"Sir, I don't know anything else. Anyway, I encountered a lot of monsters all the way back from my humble job... Fortunately, they are all sporadic, but these monsters are really scary!"
Even though he was safe at the moment, He Zhengyang was still frightened when he recalled it, as if he could smell the fishy smell emanating from those monsters.
"What's the matter with your injuries?" Tian Jingtong frowned.
He Zhengyang smiled bitterly, suppressing the restlessness in his heart, and replied: "I was scratched by those monsters, just a little bit...I became their prey!"
Being scratched? King Yong said that the way monsters are infected is by being scratched or bitten.
Thinking of this, Tian Jingtong and Cheng Wenguang looked at each other, and there seemed to be communication between their eyes.
"Okay...you keep it at home first, and we'll discuss how to deal with the monster!" Tian Jingtong said in a deep voice.
"Sir, the mission to capture King Yong..." He Zhengyang was a little lucky at this moment. He could take this opportunity to get rid of this difficult mission.
"You don't have to worry about this anymore, just take good care of yourself!" Tian Jingtong said with a slight smile.
"Yes!" Although he was secretly happy in his heart, He Zhengyang looked calm on the surface.
Then Tian Jing and his entourage withdrew. Instead of leaving in a hurry, they called eight police officers with knives from outside.
It's not a good thing for the police to enter the house.
But before He Wenlin could ask any more questions, Cheng Wenguang excused him on the grounds of being prepared for assassins, and then He Wenlin was sent into the room.
Slowly walking outside He's house, Tian Jingtong said: "You have all heard what King Yong just said. If He Zhengyang really turns into a monster... what should we do?"
Everyone was speechless for a while. They had never encountered such a thing before, so it was very difficult to deal with it.
In any case, He Zhengyang is a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Is it possible to kill him directly?
"Sir... how about putting him under house arrest first? How about that?" Cheng Wenguang asked tentatively.
After nodding, Tian Jingtong said: "That's fine...then let's wait for two days, and then put him under house arrest for slandering the prince of the clan!"
Such intensity of disposal is almost equivalent to no disposal, but it is still better than nothing.
Everyone was speechless for a while, but at this moment, they heard a scream from behind them.
Then there was a burst of noise, mixed with the sounds of broken objects and people running away.
"Ouch..."
When they heard this roar, Tian Jing and others' expressions changed on the spot. At this moment, they all finally believed it.
"No... Sir, let's evacuate the house first!" Cheng Wenguang said decisively.
Now it was time to rush, Tian Jingtong walked away directly, and the others were not far behind.
There were still a large number of officials outside. After they walked out of the door, they immediately had the door of the He family blocked.
After a while, there were "bang bang" banging sounds on the door and the frightened voices of men, women, old and children.
"grown ups……"
An official wanted to say something, but when he saw Tian Jingtong's indifferent expression, he swallowed his words.
