Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 51
The people who gave up their revolt were taken to a shabby wooden house outside the town. In fact, the so-called house is just a shack with rags and boards. Even cheese suspects that it does not need heavy snow or heavy rain. It only needs a gust of north wind to destroy these simple buildings. However, such simple buildings can be regarded as high-rise buildings in this refugee isolation area. Those places for ordinary refugees are even more dilapidated. The so-called residence is just a hole in the ground covered with a cloth. The fact that graves are better than dwellings seems to indicate the attitude of those in the town of turbidite towards these refugees. Ironically, on the border of the quarantine area, there are high log walls, which force the area apart from the outside world.
The people who led the way didn''t follow in at the gate of the exclusion zone. They just pointed to the area where the team lived and ran away.
"Before I left, I asked my men to build simple settlements for these refugees. But as far as I know, this is not the case with simple settlements. " Lyon said, frowning at the tragedy in the quarantine. Although the Knight Commander gave the order to isolate the refugees, his isolation was definitely not a hell like scene in the isolation area like this.
As the last one entered, the gate of the isolation area was closed fiercely. The guards could not wait to close the heavy wooden door, as if countless demons would rush out of the isolation area after a second delay.
"The real hell is never underground." The mage was not surprised at all this. Since the pharmacists never wanted to cure these refugees, it would be kind of them not to kill them all. Or maybe, the reason why they didn''t kill them was that they were afraid that they would be infected with this terrible plague in the process.
"Look Elsa pulled the sleeve of the cheese and whispered, pointing to a corpse on the ground.
The mage looked along that direction. Although it was still some distance away, the thick black hair on the corpse was clearly distinguishable. The corpse seemed to have almost the same appearance as the one they found near Xigu city! He didn''t care about the stink of corruption and the excrement on the ground that filled the whole isolation area. Seeing the valuable samples, cheese immediately entered the research mode. Regardless of the dissuasion of the people around him, he walked to the body and flipped it with his gloves.
"He, is it all like this?" Even Lyon had to cover his mouth and nose with his hands, and several young knights could not help vomiting. But looking at the cheese, which seemed to be completely unaffected, the knight could not help turning his head and asking the landlady. Although I have seen mages working in Lyon underground of Xigu city before, the lighting environment there is poor at most. Sober people have the same concept of health as human beings. Even because of their sensitive smell, the sanitary conditions there may be better than that of ordinary streets.
Elsa''s situation was not very good at this time. Even though she was strong in her character, as a woman, she was doubly uncomfortable with the squalor of the place. At this time, the landlady''s face turned pale and seemed to be enduring the desire to vomit, so she could not answer Lyon''s question. However, Mona, as a soldier, was much better than Elsa in her ability to accept here. Although her body also felt uncomfortable instinctively, the female soldier still resisted vomiting and answered the blood lion''s question.
"Although we knew that he was terrible to be serious, we didn''t expect that his professional level was not human I''m sorry... " Well, it seems that Mona didn''t resist vomiting because of her words. As she vomited, the landlady and Jack were lost one after another. Vomiting became a chain reaction. For a time, except Lyon could barely keep it, others began to vomit madly, until she vomited bile and stopped this instinctive behavior because of too much pain.
"Well, if you don''t do something, I''m afraid we won''t be able to make it to tomorrow." For the reaction of teammates feel helpless, even if the soldiers in the battlefield, in such an environment, it is difficult to play a role. The Knight Commander had to ask for help from a distant mage.
Cheese raised his head and looked at the people who could only support the wall. He frowned a little. He turned his head regretfully and looked at the corpse at hand. He was very unhappy that he could not finish his research. But he didn''t dare to say that. The mage went back to the crowd and took out a large cotton like thing from the inner lining of his robe. He tore the floc into small groups, and then forced it into Lyon''s nostrils, regardless of the knight''s objection.
For the mage''s action, the Knight Commander at first refused. But soon, as the floc was stuffed into his nostrils, he felt that the air he was inhaling was fresher. Although it can''t be said that the odor has been completely eliminated, it has greatly reduced the stink that made people nauseous before. He even felt that he had a lot of spirit. Seeing that the blood lion was back to normal, cheese took out another wadding, wrapped the large wadding with cloth, and then put it into the hands of the knight.
"Plug them in, too. This kind of wadding can act as a filter. But remember, don''t cram too much at once, it has a slight hallucinogenic component, and if you inhale too much at a time, it can drive you crazy. Once every two hours, it doesn''t have long-term side effects when it''s used as a filter. " As he said this, the mage also put cotton wadding into Elsa."You go to the residential area they have divided for us, and I''ll see the refugees here. Don''t worry about my safety. There''s no one here who has extra physical harm to me. "
He said hello to the others, left Lyon and Elsa to fill the others with cotton wool. Cheese went back to the body he had looked at before and studied it in silence. The blood lion and the owner''s wife have no objection to the master''s arrangement this time. Except cheese seems to be immune to the stench in the air, even if others have cotton wadding filtration, it is difficult to control their reactions when they see those disgusting scenes. Moreover, without the mage''s warning, the whole party also knew that the isolation area was much larger than Xigu City, which was full of rat people, in terms of the possibility of being infected with plague. As a result, the group could only go to the area specially designated for their use, which should have been newly expanded recently. There were no refugee bodies or other things around this wooden house.
With the coming of night, there is no fuel for heating in this isolation area. People either hide in small soil caves or crowd around each other to keep warm. Fortunately, the harsh environment of Longji mountain makes Elsa more tolerant of cold wind than ordinary people. Therefore, although it will be dark, the landlady can still watch the trend of cheese. Finally, when Elsa could hardly bear it, the mage came back.
"The situation here is not very normal. I need someone to follow me to see the situation in Zhuoluo town. Who''s going with me
