Chapter 150: Dark Clouds Overcome the City
In the evening, the city gates of Chang'an were closed.
Due to climate reasons, the desert area is dry all year round, and it is rare to see cloudy days like today. The ink clouds that want to destroy the city are pressing on the sky above Chang'an City. The low air pressure plunders the oxygen content in people's blood like a beast, making people feel depressed and breathless in their chests. The whistling wind blew up the flying sand, mixed with dry grass, and hit the face as sharp as a blade.
Luo You stood on the city tower with a serious expression, looking at the exile on the west side, as if he wanted to penetrate the wind and sand, the horizon, and look at a more distant place. Of course, this could not be done.
Soon, Hongying came to report: "General, Lancelot has been detained to the exile."
Luo You nodded and asked, "Or that?"
Hong Yingen said, "It's still the same, keep shouting 'They are coming', crazy."
Luo You looked up at the gloomy sky. The rolling dark clouds formed a wind eye above Chang'an, like a wild beast opening its huge mouth, trying to swallow the entire city in one bite. Suddenly, he felt a pain in his face, and subconsciously reached out and touched it. He found that there was some blood on his hand, and it was the sand brought by the wind that cut his face.
Luo You's beautiful eyebrows became tighter and tighter. He rubbed the blood stains on his hands, watched them penetrate into the skin ferociously, and said in a deep voice: "The number of patrol personnel in Chang'an City has increased by three times, and there is no interruption for 24 hours. If you observe any situation, report it to me immediately."
"Affect the order."
...
The night is very dark, without the moon and stars, and the darkness is spreading wildly.
Because of the unique climate of the desert, the temperature difference here is extremely large. The hottest time during the day may be high temperatures of more than 40 degrees Celsius, and it may be directly below zero at night. Not to mention this kind of winter now, it can reach several dozen degrees Celsius at the coldest time at night.
In the labor camp, the Eagle Banner soldiers on the evening shift returned to their rooms. In order to give these laborers some room to relieve their emotions, things like poker will still send a few pictures to each person to relieve their boredom, and most of the night is the "entertainment" time for these people.
Just as the few people were bored playing cards, an Eagle Banner soldier rushed in and said nervously: "Stop playing, come quickly, something happened!"
Several people looked at each other and followed the soldier in the labor camp. There were many people involved in the middle and finally ran to a remote single room where several Eagle Flag soldiers gathered here.
This single room is Mo Gu's room. Luo You arranged a single room for her so that she could have a good rest at least at night. The General still has the power to do so.
At this time, Mo Gu was shivering in the quilt and shivering, his hair was wet with cold sweat, and he stuck together on his forehead, coughing and wheeing from time to time, and coughing a lot of blood.
"I sucked too much sand and her pneumonia was offended again..." The Eagle Banner soldier in the innermost part was anxious, and his pockets were empty. He hurriedly asked his companions, "Hey, whoever you hides antibiotics, take them out quickly!"
Antibiotics are controlled drugs and are issued on demand. They are the second life here. In order to stock up on antibiotics, many soldiers often deliberately develop some problems. They ask doctors to take antibiotics and do not take them. They force themselves to resist them. The antibiotics stored in the store will be used until the real emergency moment. For example, at night, there is no doctor at night, and if you get sick, you can only wait for the next day to find a doctor. At this time, antibiotics are very useful.
The soldiers around looked at each other and shook their heads. One soldier said, "The twelve antibiotics I stocked up this year have given the black bones."
"Me too."
"Me too..."
Many soldiers stock up on antibiotics not only for themselves, but also for Mo Gu. She was originally disabled and was injured. After being exiled here, she became seriously ill and became sick every now and then. In order to protect her, many soldiers would rather resist when they were sick, and would leave some antibiotics for Mo Gu in case of emergency.
The soldier who took care of Mo Gu suddenly became anxious: "What should I do? The doctor will not come tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, how can she endure this?!"
Someone looked at Mo Gu's quilt, feeling it was not thick enough, so he immediately took off his cotton jacket: "Keep her warm first, don't let her freeze. Come on, come on, take off all the things I took off."
Everyone took off their cotton jackets, and a few soldiers were also proud of their strong body and were not afraid of cold, so they went back to the house and took their quilts over to cover the ink bones.
The symptoms of pneumonia will not be relieved because of this, but at least Mo Gu's body will not shake and he can sleep for a while in a daze.
Seeing Mo Gu fall asleep, the soldier responsible for taking care of her breathed a sigh of relief.
The bedroom was very quiet, and you could still hear the sound of even breathing after falling asleep. The Eagle Flag soldier looked at the blood on the Mogu pillow, and suddenly his face became ferocious. He hammered his chest hard, lowered his voice and said unwillingly: "How come the Eagle Flag Army has fallen to this point!"
A soldier who used to serve in the kitchen shook his head and sighed: "Stop talking, what's the use of saying these."
"Hey, Liuzi, go and have some food. If Mo Gu wakes up later, feed her some food, so that the disease will be cured quickly."
The sixth son of the cook said vaguely: "You are dreaming, where can I give you some food?"
"Don't pretend! I smelled it when I passed by your house last time, and it smelled like baked naan!"
Liuzi suddenly laughed, pointed his fingers in the air, and said unhappily: "Your nose is more fucking effective than a dog. Wait, I'll take it all over, you can eat something, and you will have strength in the second half of the night."
Liuzi ran back to his house, turned on the bedding, found the baked naan that was placed at the bottom, and lifted up layers of oil paper. He sucked the fragrance deeply, and was so hungry that he took off one piece, but after hesitating for a long time, he pursed his lips and still didn't put it into his mouth, muttering: "Forget it, let's leave it for them."
Liuzi ran out of the house with a naan in his arms, and was about to rush to the Mo Gu's house when he suddenly heard a chewing sound.
Liuzi quickly let go of his pace.
"Which dog day, I'm stealing food in the middle of the night and eating so loudly." Following the sound of chewing, Liuzi walked carefully against the wall, poking his ears out of the corner and listening for a while...
"Hu..." In addition to the sound of chewing, it is also accompanied by heavy breathing, which looks very enjoyable.
Liuzi called out three times in his heart, rushed out suddenly, and said, "Okay! I've hidden something delicious, give it to me..."
Liuzi's voice stopped abruptly. Three meters away in front of him, a broken corpse of an Eagle Flag soldier fell there. The corpse's arms were tightly stretched, as if he wanted to ask for help from outside. The fish stared at Liuzi's eyes unbiasedly in the direction where Liuzi was standing, as if saying two words: Run quickly.
Above the corpse, a huge figure covered with fully enclosed armor squatted there, and the half-opened face armor revealed a ferocious bloody mouth and fangs, and was gnawing at the corpse bloodily. The red eyes, like wild beasts, instantly moved upwards to Liuzi, as if they were watching the delicacies delivered to their mouths.
"They are coming..." In the cold wind, Liuzi seemed to hear Lancelot's collapse cry under the dungeon.
