.One Hundred and Eighty Two, Plague is the fastest way to solve famine

One Hundred and Eighty Two, Plague is the fastest way to solve famine

According to the old priest, in the desperate situation of extreme lack of magic users and unsuccessful despair, the government agencies have only one barely feasible countermeasure to this raiding plague: quarantine

——Isolate patients with good conditions, and isolate themselves with poor conditions... and no matter which choice, it is the same cold-blooded and cruel.

To isolate patients is to use stones and bricks to close the city gates, block all the patients and suspected patients in the city, arrange troops to build solid fortifications on the periphery, and conduct strict investigations, only entry and not exit. Allow people in the quarantine area to fend for themselves.

If a wealthy family still stocks up food, fruits, vegetables, firewood and wood at home, and there are clean independent wells in the yard. If you drink alcohol frequently during the plague and use wine to wipe it off, alcohol can also have a certain sterilization effect... In short, there is still a little hope to survive.

As for those poor people who have no food to stay in the house, they may have to drink raw water on their stomachs and wait for death... Therefore, many poor people often die of hunger and thirst before they get sick.

Even such cruel measures must be implemented in a "good year" of stability in the regime and peace in society. If there is no conditions or military power to isolate patients in the chaotic world of war, turmoil in all directions, and the country collapses, then the people in power will have to isolate themselves - let a few healthy people with soldiers and wealth curl up in a sturdy and quarantine area, abandon the remaining people outside the high walls and trenches, and let them die in pain in the raging disease...

Given the current chaotic situation in China, Kamakura is indeed adopting the latter approach.

——The army was withdrawn from all over the place, officials and their families gathered in Kamakura to live; checkpoints were set up at checkpoints and ports entering Kamakura, and patients were prohibited from entering; the transportation of grain and other materials that were still stranded elsewhere was accelerated, and if they were not able to transport them, they would be discarded...

Fortunately, Kamakura is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the sea on one side, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, land transportation is also inconvenient, which is conducive to preventing and blocking the influx of patients from the source of the disease... But even so, people have been suffering from illness in the city these days, and it is entirely possible to barely maintain the number of treatment techniques used every day and the severe suppression of the army.

As for the situation outside the city, everyone could only close their eyes and pretend not to see it. Feili walked along the way. The city of Edocho, which had a remnant population of at least 200,000 to 300,000 days ago, is now dead silent everywhere, and there is no trace of ghosts. And the once bustling and noisy towns and villages around are now left with only the pungent smell of corpses and the roaring and roaring of crows and wild dogs.

"... Judging from the current situation, the land of Kanto will not be able to recover from anger for twenty years. What's even more terrible is that the plague continues to spread rapidly in all directions... However, this plague finally brings one advantage, that is, there is no need to worry about famine anymore - although the food shortage this winter is terrible, the dead don't need to eat..."

Feili still vaguely remembered that before this reconnaissance, Miss Mitsui Ryuki said to him with a haggard expression.

And this is exactly the old saying that war and plague are the most effective ways for any country to reduce its surplus population.

Even the latter's killing efficiency is often far better than the former...

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

Walking through the quiet streets and towns, but there is still endless silence in front of you. There are only dead bodies in your sight, as well as crows pecking at the eyes of the dead, wild dogs tearing the broken corpses, and white maggots squirming...

One place after another, almost identical miserable scenes, which made Feili and others feel numb, confused, and confused in their minds.

Just like the thirst and sun-tortured in the desert, the travelers who were on the verge of overdrawn physically, dragged their legs as tired and heavy as if they were filled with lead. After finally moving for a long journey for a long time, they thought they could find an oasis for rest, but then they were shocked and desperate to find that what this long journey brought about was nothing more than returning to the original...or never left at all?

——In front, there are broken corpses everywhere; behind, there are broken corpses everywhere

The shrill aura that kept coming towards us with countless terrifying deaths penetrated into everyone's hearts and every capillary they had invisibly but truly...

"…This…this is so terrifying…how did it become like this? Are they all really dead? There is not even a single survivor?"

Fili finally couldn't help but mutter, and pressed his palm tightly against his leaping chest.

Although for professional soldiers like him, they have to be involved in killing throughout their lives, death and corpses have long been commonplace, and they are no longer surprising.

But in such a short period of time, seeing the rotten corpses in the whole city and town still made it difficult for Feili and his accompanying subordinates to accept it for a while. Many people even involuntarily covered their noses and mouths tightly, almost vomiting.

"... Logically speaking, there are always one or two or two people with strong constitutions who survive. Of course, they may have pockmarked skin, or even their entire nose may rot because of this..."

The experienced old pastor touched his gray beard and replied, "...but, I think even if they survived the disease, they should not be willing to continue staying in this city of death. They may have fled to the distance when they still have the strength..."

“…gugurululu~~dong——”

At this moment, a sound similar to the sound of a vessel being knocked and rolled out in a relatively neat wooden house on one side of the street suddenly came from.

This was just a very slight sound. In the noisy environment on weekdays, no one would notice it at all.

But in the terrifying dead silence that was now, the air was suddenly dull but clearly shaken, and it was highlighted particularly harsh - it easily attracted everyone's attention in almost a moment.

As if they received a silent order at the same time, everyone turned their eyes to the house, but no one made any sound and no one made any moves. They just watched there nervously and subconsciously held their breath.

However, after a moment of silence, no sound rang out again.

Could it be that small animals such as cats, dogs, or mice were running around in the house that created this inexplicable sound?

Feili thought in confusion, but to ensure safety, he still gestured to a female Drow Elves warrior beside him and signaled her to go up and reconnaissance with his eyes.

The female warrior was stunned at first, then nodded knowingly, pulled out a cold dagger from her boots, raised her waist slightly, leaned over with her hands and feet, then flashed suddenly and disappeared into the dark door hole.

And the subsequent development is beyond everyone's expectations...————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"... Meow Meow Help, let go, let go, meow, meow, not a thief, said meow, don't catch others' neck, said meow, meow—"

After a crackling and messy sound, a crying sound finally broke out in the house. To many people's surprise, it sounded like a cute and cute voice full of childishness.

Then, the female drow warrior held something strange in one hand with confusion and slowly turned out from the room.

——Slim and petite body, with a round baby face, soft and shiny silver hair, messy and wrinkled white and red skirt, large pieces of fair skin exposed from the neckline... and two fluffy cat ears, and a long tail that was split in half from the front

After the identification, this is a silver-haired loli cat girl dressed as a witch

For a moment, when everyone looked at the cute loli cat girl, they were all embarrassed.

At this moment, the loli cat girl who was pulled up by someone's neck was still struggling and resisting desperately with tears in her eyes.

"...Don't catch the cat like this, which hurts meow. We are a god-like god, saying that the cat bullies me like this and will be punished by God."

While she cursed with a cute and cute voice, she also shaking her tail with a crackling sound, sweeping over and over from the chest and cheeks of the Drow Elf warrior...

Well, because her lower half of her tail is forked into two, she also needs attack power x2...

So, the dark elf female warrior who was annoyed by the cat's tail thrusting his face, threw the cat girl heavily on the ground, then bent a finger and knocked her in the head.

"Bang"

“… Meow”

A small bag suddenly swollen from the forehead of the loli cat girl, and even tears flew out of her eyes... Then, the irritable silver-haired kitten was completely crazy for a moment, and sharp nails popped out from her small palm. The long cat tail stood up straight, and each silver-haired stood up "swish" - as if saying: "The cat is very angry, and the consequences are very serious."

However, her grinning expression did not last long - because when the cat girl twisted her head, she noticed Feili and her group...

The expression that was originally a bit dissatisfied was completely annihilated in an instant, and instead was the terror flashing through his eyes. Even the cat's tail, which had already been blown away quickly, was put on its shoulders like a scarf - well, it seems that the cat is used to communicating with its tail...

"... Meow? What do you want to do? We are the great gods. You can't bully our meow..."

Faced with so many strangers who seemed malicious, I finally realized that I had become a prisoner, and immediately shrank myself into a small ball. Then, with a pair of standard star eyes that were shining as if they were sprinkled with crystal powder, I meowed pitifully, which made everyone's hearts throbbing...

Well, the man's expression just became a little vulgar. Several female priests and the female warrior of the Drow's elf could no longer help but their eyes shine, and they muttered to themselves, "So cute, so cute~ I want to take it home to raise~"...

——Well, the lethality of cute people taking the initiative to act cute is indeed strong. Soon, a large number of weird sisters are so cute...

Finally, Feili, who was also a cute creature, coughed a few times first, took out a small paper bag from her arms, and carefully met her.

"...Well, Miss Cat, do you live here?"

He walked slowly to the cat girl, slowly squatted down, keeping himself at the same height as the other party, and then asked softly, "...Come on, should you eat something to suppress your shock? Please rest assured, we have absolutely no malice towards you..."

As soon as he saw what Feili took out, the cat girl's eyes lit up instantly.

"... Meow is our favorite food to eat. Meow, you are such a good person. Meow."

Almost at a lightning speed, she stood up and grabbed the keen fish fillets handed over by Feili, chewed them with relish, and at the same time she had not forgotten to send Feili a good person card...

—————————————————————————————————————————————————

"...I was originally a cat god cat god from Misaki Town in the north (ah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah wooah woo

A few hours later, the small living room of the Captain Xiangrui suite was in the small living room. Feili and Renee sat side by side on the small sofa, holding their chins and looking at the super cute cat girl Loli in front of them, while listening to the rice grains sticking to her mouth, describing her experiences over the past few days intermittently, and then Feili wrote and recorded them in the notebook.

For Lord Cat God who has been hungry for several days, the officer package rations personally delivered by Major General Ferry Taylor is really rich.

The chowder soup made with clams, shrimps, fish and kelp was delicious at first glance. The golden and crispy fish steak was fried just right, and the rice filled with wood-fish fillets and honey milk served with meals made her smile. She completely forgot all the ladylike etiquettes such as "don't eat or sleep" and even the cat's tongue was afraid of being scalded. Because she was eating too hard, the rice in the bowl suddenly splashed out like sprinkling water. Whether it was her hair, cheeks, or the witch's uniform on her body, they were covered with rice grains and oil stains...

Such a wild way of eating was completely inconsistent with her soft and cute voice and delicate appearance, which made the two owners shocked.

Well, by the way, this cat seems to be characterized by excessive curiosity and naughty nature of playing.

Through the bribery and bribery of this sumptuous meal, Feili easily found her origin from the unintelligible Cat God.

——This cute cat girl seems to be the patron saint of a market town near Edo, and has her own small shrine, enjoying the worship of the residents of the town. She is considered a rich woman among the eight million gods in Japan.

However, after the Edo chaos not long ago, a group of scattered soldiers looted the town and burned down her shrine. The weak mana of Cat God was displaced for a while and met an old woman in the ruins of Edo Castle Town, and then she was regarded as a strange item to worship.

Since there were many patients injured by fires in Edo at this time, and the plague was gradually emerging, the old woman dragged the cat god around to practice medicine and made money, thus she accumulated a lot of wealth from the refugees who were eager to seek medical treatment...

Unfortunately, this plague is really fierce. With the ability of a little cat, it cannot save several patients at all, nor can it reverse the trend. The epidemic is getting worse and worse. The old woman either feels it is unsafe to stay, so she slips away alone with money; or unfortunately she is robbed by a mob and suddenly dies tragically somewhere...

So, no one raised the cat girl, so she had to run to the neighborhood full of dead people, and worked hard to find something to eat from house to house... until she was caught by Feili.

Of course, according to Lord Cat God, this is not stealing, it's just taking. Because the original owner has died of illness and no longer needs to eat... Fortunately, this guy is a god, otherwise he would have eaten food from the house of the plague deceased, and he would have been infected long ago...

——Fili frowned and pulled a small package that was originally placed in the cat girl's sleeve. The rice ball inside had already smelled bad, the cakes were covered with green mold spots, and the radish, corn and sweet potatoes were also rotten... It really doesn't matter if you eat this kind of thing?

According to the experience of Lord Cat God not meeting any living person in the past few days, Feili can basically confirm that Edo Castle Town, which once lived with millions of citizens, has now completely become a desolate ruin that is empty and cannot even live in the gods...

Looking back on the bustling scenery in the city not long ago, with crowds of people, bustling cars, buildings, rich and intoxicated, and singing and singing, it makes him feel like he is a different world...

War and plague are indeed the most effective ways to reduce population

The latter's killing efficiency is far better than the former...

Just as he sighed so much, he turned around and found that Renee had already found the teasing stick and the yarn ball from somewhere. She was eager to try to stretch the teasing stick and swing the fluffy ears against the cat god's nose.

"~~Come~~Kid cat~~ Have you finished the meal? Is it okay to play with my sister?"

"Meow~~I'm not full yet and I'll play with meow later~~"

The cat god didn't raise his head, so he slapped the teasing cat stick off with one claw, and then continued to attack the next golden and crisp fish steak...

——Hey, now we are discussing the heavy topic about the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. Even if it is not your own, we should be more serious. Don’t act so heartless, okay?

Feiri couldn't help rolling her eyes and roared in her heart... but she didn't roar in the end.

After all, no one can save so many people from the plague now. Even as a candidate, I can only give priority to the officers and soldiers of the Giant Bear Legion. Since they are all desperate to save them, why bother with their attitude?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look out the window. Between the green mountains surrounding Kamakura city, the golden roofs and pagodas of ancient temples were vaguely visible.

I hope that the whimsical countermeasure proposed by the old monk Jingshui Youhu recently can be miraculously implemented... Otherwise, more than 10 million people would die in his miserable motherland...
