The fast-traveling girl has no feelings for her

Chapter 298 The Blood-sucking Duchess ([-]) (Part [-])
It has been less than three months since the news of the mysterious disease spread in the imperial capital, and the death population in the capital has risen to half of the total population.In other words, almost every ten households died from the disease.

In this critical situation, the qualified nobles in the city fled early.

The king of the empire also fled outside the city with his ministers and concubines, and came to live near the Vatican City, not far from the Pope's residence, in order to seek the asylum of some kind of divine power.

As a result, the formerly prosperous capital suddenly turned into an empty city with ten rooms and nine empty rooms.

On the street, there are piles of black and purple corpses stacked one on top of the other, and there is no end in sight.

No one came to collect these bones, because too many people died.

Even some priests who stayed behind to collect and bury the dead based on the belief in their hearts were also infected with the terrible black death and had to fall one by one.

The disease started a new round of spread with the flow of people.

And the panic in people's hearts has already spread wider than the disease.

Although His Majesty the King has ordered to summon the best doctors in the entire empire, let them try to figure out the source of the disease and come up with a treatment plan.

But the doctors racked their brains and couldn't find the cause of the disease.

Because at this time, according to the regulations of the Holy See, no one can conduct anatomical research on the human body without authorization.

But even if doctors can figure out what causes a disease, they won't be able to develop a cure for it.

Because the treatment of plague requires antibiotics, mainly streptomycin, and it needs to be combined with penicillin and cephalosporins for adjuvant treatment.But with the technology of this era, these antibiotics cannot be extracted at all.

In order to curb the spread of the disease, doctors also came up with measures to reduce contact between people, wear cloth towels to cover the mouth and nose, and soak the coins used in vinegar water, etc., which also achieved certain results.

Yet the most important problem—that of the staggering mortality rate of the disease—remains unresolved.

Linye Province, the backyard of the Duo Lilan family's manor.

There is a secluded two-story building here.

The passages between the first floor and the second floor of the building have been opened up, creating multiple rooms.

Each room is isolated and sealed with stained glass windows, and there is a lot of space inside.

People who enter these rooms can find that there are all kinds of petri dishes and glass instruments.

Among these glass instruments flowing with various liquids, Lin Shu, wearing a homemade mask and a simple homemade loose white coat, was staring intently at a small test tube in front of her.

The liquid dripping from the mouth of the upside-down flask into the test tube looked clear and bright, and it was unknown what it was used for.

When a bottle of purification solution was about to be filled, Lin Shu sealed the test tube with a stopper as quickly as possible, and then put the test tube containing the liquid back on the row of test tube racks behind her.

She started from looking for suitable strains, then fermenting suitable strains, and then extracting and refining the fermentation broth, and doing ion exchange and elution, and after a series of refining, she finally got a little bit of water injection.

This process of experimentation and production is really time-consuming and labor-intensive.

In order to get such a little bit of liquid or a little bit of white powder, Lin Shu had not had a good night's sleep in the past three months.She only sleeps for three or four hours almost every day, and the rest of the time is spent working in her laboratory.

Now that she has finally made some finished products, she plans to go out for a walk to catch her breath.

After taking off her white coat and mask and coming out of the small building, Lin Shu, who hadn't seen the blue sky and white clouds outside for several days, couldn't help taking a deep breath.

At this moment, the sky above her head was as blue as a piece of pure sapphire.

Not far away, the Doriland family's manor castle still stands on a large green grassland, surrounded by flowers and green trees.

If you only look at the scene in this manor, you can't believe that the world outside the manor has become a hell on earth.

Not long after Lin Shu came out of her experimental building, the old Marquis and his wife rushed towards her with their eldest son after receiving the news that she was out.

The three of them brought some bad news to Lin Shu.

The first news came from her ex-husband, the Duke of Edward Malle, who had publicly announced that he had divorced Dorilan Lynch, and that he was about to marry a woman named Cady Louise to be himself the new Duchess.

The second message came from the Duke of Mahler.

Rumors that the Duchess is a vampire have spread in several nearby provinces, and some people even directly accused her of being the devil who brought this terrible disaster to the people, and asked the Holy See to consecrate her. trial.

Lin Shu had also heard about this incident, so she asked the old Marquis and his wife to spread the word, telling people that she was working hard to find an antidote for this disease, and the messages outside stopped a little.

But a few days ago, doctors from the empire who were summoned by the king announced that they were helpless against the disease.

At this time, I don't know what kind of psychology the Duke of Mahler had. He even stood up and mocked Dorilan Linshu, the daughter of the Marquis, who is absolutely impossible to research the antidote for the disease.

And he also confirmed that his ex-wife had the habit of drinking fresh human blood and washing her face with it.

To this end, he also collected the cases of missing girls that had occurred in his own province over the past 20 years.

The Duke of Mahler said that these poor girls were all captured and bled by Dorilan Linshu. It was he who kindly couldn't see it anymore, so he secretly released these girls, and that's why he had this list.

As soon as such shocking news came out, many people couldn't sit still.

Ordinary civilians, deliberately fanned by some people, asked the king and the Holy See to punish such a vicious woman. They demanded that Dollyland Lin Shu be executed immediately.

At present, such calls are getting more and more intense, and the higher authorities may send people to the manor to arrest Lin Shu at any time.

The old Marquis and his wife, who are always paying attention to the outside world, can't sit still for a long time.

They hope that their daughter will find a way to escape quickly, don't stay here, and escape as far away as possible.

But Lin Shu had repeatedly emphasized before entering the small building that unless the Dollyland family was about to face annihilation, no one could enter the small building to find her until she walked out of the building herself.

This caused them to come to Lin Shu until today and tell her what happened these days.

After listening to the old Marquis and his wife and the original owner's brother, Lin Shu said calmly, "Don't worry, these people can't kill me."

Because she has developed a drug that can cure the Black Death.

However, after hearing this, the old Marquis and his wife looked at each other in surprise.

Could it be that her daughter already knew the ancient legend about the family?
