The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 88 Infection Variation
(There is an easter egg at the end of the chapter, the whole picture of Prince Yong's Mansion.)
Entering the palace, Zhao Yanxun walked all the way forward, and the news of his return had already spread to the mansion.

After entering the second gate, the officials from the official office area of ​​the palace came out one by one, complaining to Zhao Yanxun one after another.

"Your Highness, the Dusi sent troops to monitor the palace..."

"The governor's yamen also sent people outside the palace to prohibit our people from going out to do business..."

"The two senior officials were taken away by the governor's yamen this morning. They are simply too crazy..."

Surrounded by officials, Zhao Yanxun walked up the steps outside Yong'an Hall, turned around and said to his subordinates: "Okay, I already know what you are talking about!"

"You don't have to worry about the rest of the matter, there is an important matter to give to you now!"

After Zhao Yanxun returned, the hearts of the people in the palace were stabilized at this moment, so they all bowed and said: "Please give orders, Your Highness!"

"You all know that a catastrophe is coming in this world, and now I can tell you... the end of the world, which I have been warning you about before, has come!"

Everyone held their breath and concentrated. After staying in the palace for so long, they were already very aware of the dangers of the zombies. Naturally, no one dared to be distracted and negligent at this moment.

"This king's trip, a large number of villages and towns outside the city have all mutated, and it may have spread to the city, and even people in our palace may be infected!"

Hearing this, the scene suddenly became commotion, and a strong sense of crisis burst out in the hearts of everyone.

"You are all officials of the Wangfu, and your family members have followed here together, so we share weal and woe with the Wangfu!"

No one would object to this point. The more they knew about the end times, the more they knew that they could only survive if they stayed together.

"For the sake of the peace of the palace, this king has decided to immediately impose martial law on the palace and the living quarters of the subordinates. Without this king's order, the forbidden area will be lifted within three days!"

The imposition of martial law within the palace means, to put it bluntly, isolation to separate those who may have been infected.

"During this period, all households must supervise each other, and if there is a mutation in that household, it must be reported immediately!"

Looking at everyone, Zhao Yanxun said in a serious tone: "Do you understand?"

"Of order!" All the officials answered.

In this palace, Zhao Yanxun has absolute authority, and no one dares to question his arrangements.

"How to operate it, you guys should discuss the regulations as soon as possible. After half an hour, the king will see that all districts of the palace are under martial law!"

The palace is so big, there are thousands of people, and the quarantine needs to be done by the officials of the palace. These people know the situation of each household better than Zhao Yanxun.

"Gong Zheng and the good doctor are staying, and the others can go on business!"

After the rest of the people left, Gongzheng Huang Zhongchang and good doctor Zheng Yang Deqiu walked down the steps, and saluted Zhao Yanxun: "What are your orders, Your Highness?"

Zhao Yanxun looked at Huang Zhong and said: "The walls that were planned before can now be built. Make sure to connect the palace and the residence of the subordinates as one!"

Huang Zhongchang thought it was a matter of making armor, but after hearing what Zhao Yanxun said, he quickly replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will arrange it when I go down!"

"Time waits for no one, you have to gather all the bricklayers, even if it lasts all night, you must build the wall as soon as possible!" Zhao Yanxun solemnly said,

Understanding the urgency of this matter, Huang Zhongchang said firmly: "I understand!"

"Go to work!" Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice.

After Huang Zhongchang left, Zhao Yanxun walked slowly into the main hall, and Yang Deqiu immediately followed.

Passing through the Yong'an Hall, Zhao Yanxun came to the courtyard of the Jinshen Hall, and then walked all the way into the Jinshen Hall.

Sitting in the side hall of the main hall, Zhao Yanxun asked: "I asked you to study the characteristics of monsters before, what achievements have you made now?"

Yang Deqiu guessed that Zhao Yanxun would ask about this matter, so he had already prepared a draft in his stomach, and now he talked eloquently: "Your Highness asked me to study the characteristics of monsters infecting humans and animals. After waiting, I have been experimenting!"

"I'll start with the smallest ant, dip the ant into the monster's blood, and the ant will die almost instantly!"

"Afterwards, the ministers went from small to large, and then caught bugs of different sizes from various places. After these things were stained with monster blood, they all died immediately!"

Seeing Zhao Yanxun's thoughtful face, Yang Deqiu continued: "Afterwards, I found something bigger and let the monster bite..."

"Rats, cats, chickens, ducks, geese, birds...these living creatures all died after being bitten!"

In other words, none of these animals will mutate, and it is safe to face them in the future.

"Later, I experimented with the wolf again. This guy survived after being bitten, and even mutated!..."

"The temper became extremely irritable, but only three days later... the three mutated wolves also died violently!"

It was hard to experiment to find that it could mutate, but it still died. Could it be that the zombie virus is only transmitted from person to person?
That being the case, how to explain the tiger and lion that mutated in the capital?

Frowning tightly, Zhao Yanxun couldn't help asking: "What do you think of this matter?"

After Yang Deqiu organized his speech, he said: "After discussing with all my colleagues, I think that these livestock are too poor... they can't stand the poison in the monster's blood, so they died directly!"

"Afterwards, the ministers chose cows and horses to be bitten by monsters, and all the test animals survived, which can also confirm the guesses of the ministers!"

Animals are too small and poor in physique, so they cannot withstand the zombie virus, and there is no possibility of attacking humans after infection.

After getting this news, Zhao Yanxun was relieved a lot. These small animals are precisely the most difficult to guard against.

"What happened to those bitten cows and horses after they survived?" Zhao Yanxun asked immediately.

"Except for being more irritable, nothing else has changed!" Yang Deqiu said in a deep voice.

Tigers and lions will mutate after being infected, but cattle and horses will not be infected after being infected. What does this mean?
The difference between tigers and lions and cows and horses, one is carnivorous and the other vegetarian, that is to say... the ones that can be infected by viruses are all large carnivores.

After getting this news, Zhao Yanxun felt more at ease.

"What are the habits of the monster itself?" Zhao Yanxun asked again.

"This... I have no conclusions for the time being. I only know that the monster rests at night and is active during the day. It is particularly sensitive to sound and living things!"

I only heard Zhao Yanxun say: "They don't eat or drink, how to maintain their physical strength is really puzzling!"

Yang Deqiu couldn't come up with an answer to this point, because the existence of monsters is extremely difficult to explain.

"Okay, you go down first... This time I brought back ten monsters, you can do more experiments!" Zhao Yanxun waved his hand.

After Yang Deqiu saluted Zhao Yanxun, he turned and left the hall.

Rubbing his forehead, Zhao Yanxun suddenly felt distraught, and the situation might suddenly get out of control, which made him feel extremely uncomfortable.

At this moment, a series of footsteps came from outside the hall, and the voice was soft, so it could be seen that it was a woman.

Entering the main hall, Xue Baoyun was the one who walked in the front, and she said with a bit of resentment: "My lord, you are back. Many things have happened inside and outside the palace these two days, and my concubine is worried to death!"

All along, Xue Baoyun has maintained a noble and capable image, this is the first time Zhao Yanxun has seen her like this.

Just as he was about to reply, Huang Rongrong appeared from behind, beaming with joy and said: "My lord, my concubine is also worried to death!"

No matter how bored he was, Zhao Yanxun smiled and said, "I'm back!"
