The Lord is Addicted in Infrastructure

This sudden disease had a name, it was called the Black Death.

Because the skin will bleed extensively, show ecchymosis, and necrosis. After the person dies, the body will turn purple-black again, and the appearance of death is terrifying and frightening.

——After the name of the disease "Black Death" was announced by the Alchemy Tower, it seemed very "appropriate".

In addition to announcing the name of the disease, the Alchemy Tower also clarified that the reason why the Black Death occurred was related to rats.

This is a very dangerous plague.

The main route of disease transmission is the bite of rat fleas.

In this way, after the bacteria enter the human body, they will spread infection between people through saliva, sputum, pus from injured skin, etc. again.

Perhaps a little carelessness, you will be infected with the disease in the process of contact with the sick.

The incubation period for the Black Death ranged from one to six days.

If there is not enough medicine to provide treatment and care for the sick first... the sick will die within two days after being infected with the Black Death.

Pamphlets distributed by churches around the world contain methods to cure the Black Death.

——First of all, if you are diagnosed with the disease, you should be strictly isolated and treated with existing drugs immediately to reduce the harm of the disease.

Because of serious complications, patients need to maintain calorie supply, adequate water supplementation, and rest at all times.

Although the pamphlets are very detailed and specific in both the knowledge of precautions and the methods of immediate treatment, the existing medicines are not enough to completely cure the Black Death.

The medicine is wrong.

Existing drugs can only drag the suffering body of the patient, so that the moment of death comes a little later.

However, the sickle that took away life was still hanging on the side of the neck, and could be swung down at any time, splashing blood.

…………

This terrible disease emerged from Yami country, and then spread to other places.

At the very beginning, the horror of the Black Death was not fully revealed.

From being disapproving at the beginning to now everyone is in danger - countries blockade territories and prohibit outsiders from entering.

The land checkpoints are closely guarded by knights, and the big swords and spears are aimed at all outsiders who try to enter the territory.

And the port was also pulled a large trebuchet.

Huge and hard stones will be thrown towards the ships sailing on the river. They would rather sink than allow foreign ships to approach the port.

For now.

Because of the timely response to the disease, the immediate implementation of isolation, elimination of rats, fleas, garbage, etc., the spread of the Black Death in the Territory of Designia, the Territory of Achiayoli, and the Kingdom of Anas is not considered fast.

—The quarantine zone was established first.

All symptomatic patients were quarantined, and even those who did not want to go in would be forcibly taken away by knights who stepped up patrols and packed tightly, and no resistance was allowed.

The perimeter of the isolation area is tied with red ropes, one connected to the other, used to separate the area, and the ground will also be marked.

And some nearby residents dare not stay here anymore.

Even when they are homeless, they fear being so close to death.

Fortunately, because of the establishment of the quarantine zone, a lot of labor is required.

What's more, some families became fragmented due to the advent of the Black Death, and many people lived extremely difficult lives because of this...

The lord of Designia suggested setting up a rescue point in various places to help civilians or slaves who are living in difficulty.

——Homeless civilians or slaves can receive one meal a day, and exchange the allocated labor for money, etc...

The territory of Aqiyoli and the Kingdom of Anas implemented policies together with the territory of Designia.

Usually, when there is a new decision to deal with the disease in the territory of Designia, the other two parties in the alliance will immediately follow and implement it.

With such powerful and rapid measures, the severity and speed of the epidemic have been brought under control for the time being.

Although, there are still countless people dying in pain every day...

Compared with the situation of the tripartite alliance, the situation of the San Airo Empire is terrible.

First of all, the empire is the closest to the Yami country, and because of the king's decision-making mistakes and delays, he did not make a correct judgment in time to deal with the disease...

This has led to chaos even though the empire is strong - there is pain and death everywhere, and people are infected every day.

Even walking on the street, some people will suddenly fall to the ground and get up.

There are fires burning inside or outside the city every day, and thick black smoke curls up, polluting the sky...

Jack is 13 years old, one year away from becoming an adult.

His home is in the Imperial City, with his parents and two younger brothers. A family of five set up a stall in the Imperial City, relying on the sale of rye bread to maintain their livelihood and food and clothing.

Although getting up early and working late every day is hard work, the family is very happy.

Of course, this was before the appearance of the Black Death.

Now, because Jack's mother failed to survive the Black Death, she died in the early stages of the disease outbreak, and his father was taken away by patrolling knights, who put him in a quarantine area, and outsiders were not allowed to visit.

He and his two younger brothers are both lucky and unlucky.

They were not infected with the bubonic plague, nor did they show symptoms of it.

But after my father left, the family's stall could no longer be supported, and there was no way to fill my stomach without money and income...

And if he doesn't think of a way, he can no longer pay money to the quarantine area to ensure the supply of his father's medicine...

The quarantine zone of the empire was built outside the royal city, and corpses were thrown out every day.

Jack was terrified all the time.

He took a task to burn the corpse, wrapping himself airtight, especially the exposed parts such as palms and cheeks.

He and some people dragged the corpses with braided thorns, and dragged these horrible people to a place where they were burned.

Every time, Jack would force himself to observe their figures and faces, he was afraid that one day he would see his father in these corpses.

The flames rose, the surrounding heat increased, and the steaming Jack couldn't help sweating.

But he still didn't tear off any fabric.

After the piles of flames burned out, leaving behind ashes and wreckage, a knight came over and put a small amount of money on the ground not far away, and the copper coins were scattered.

After the knight left, Jack quickly ran forward, took his share of the money, and then ran away quickly.

He suffered a loss and never wanted to fall behind.

The Black Death brought not only sickness and death, but also disorder and chaos.

——No one will care how difficult your life is...Maliciousness is magnified, the crime rate in the royal city increases, some people rob property, some people enter and plunder, and morality is corrupt...

Still others desert each other because of illness.

After some patients entered the isolation area, they were equivalent to being abandoned.

Because medicines, etc. are not provided free of charge, after all, the merchants

If the loss is too large, it will not be able to continue.

Before, with the lead of the Lord Designia, the price of medicines dropped again and again.

But even so, some poor people still can't afford continuous drug use.

Once the medicine is cut off, the sick person will be on the verge of death within a day. Most of the people who have entered the quarantine area will not be far from death if they have not continued to spend money to buy medicine.

Of course, not all sick people will enter the quarantine area.

Some families who do not want to abandon their family members are automatically quarantined.

The house they live in will be surrounded by patrolling knights with red rope, and a large letter P will be circled with red paint on the wall.

That way, no one else in the vicinity can approach without knowing it.

Jack's father entered the quarantine voluntarily.

He told Jack to leave him alone and take care of his two younger brothers at ease, but Jack couldn't help it. The family still had some savings before, but it has already been used up now.

The inside of the royal city is very desolate, the doors of every house are closed, and people are rarely seen shaking on the street.

Jack ran home panting all the way.

The gate of his house has been nailed to death, and there is only a half-meter-high gap on the side that is covered by wooden boards. Jack knocked on the door and whispered——

The two younger brothers heard the sound and moved the wooden board to let him into the house. They were thin, their faces were sallow, and their stomachs gurgled several times...

As usual, Jack asked if they had gone out, if there was a stranger knocking on the door, etc., and he told the two brothers to stay away from him and not to approach.

There is always a basin of clean water by the door.

Jack took off the tightly wrapped cloth, and while washing his palms carefully, he listened to the two younger brothers' answers.

They didn't go out, and no stranger knocked on the door...

After a while, the older brother asked softly, "Brother, how is Dad?"

Jack's face was as usual: "Dad is fine, and he will come out of the isolation area after this disease passes."

But the Black Death is not so easy to pass.

The two younger brothers felt relieved when they heard this.

Before the little brother was restricted from leaving the house, he once heard the patrolling knights chatting in the past. He said: "The territory of Designia is safer than the empire."

"Brother, why don't we go to the Designia territory?"

He was too young to understand the horror of the Black Death at all, nor did he know that various places had restricted the entry of outsiders.

Jack heard that a ship that was trying to get close to the Kingdom of Anas was almost sunk recently.

The people on the boat even jumped into the water and tried to swim to the port, but they were forced back to the boat by the spears stabbing down mercilessly from the shore...

Jack poured out the sewage, distractedly thinking about the bits and pieces of news he had heard in the past few days—the Yaya Kingdom was on the verge of extinction.

I heard that the Black Death has killed two-thirds of the population of Aya.

The Designia territory can be regarded as the safest place besides the Powell country.

In addition, it is the territory of Aqiyoli and the kingdom of Anas... These places can be called safe, all thanks to the lord of Designia.

The lord of Designia sent a letter of caution to the disease and early prevention to the San Airo Empire as soon as possible.

But it did not get the attention of His Majesty the King.

Now almost everyone in the royal city is cursing the king, blatantly spitting in the direction of the palace, Jack also scolded a lot.

Because of the timely response, the Holy Church distributed protective pamphlets and conveyed the protection of the Creator God to everyone, and now it has become the spiritual sustenance for people to overcome the Black Death.

Jack prayed to the Creator God, but he also prayed to Lord Designia.

Because the reason why the Holy See has acted so quickly in various places is also due to the accurate judgment made by the lord of Designia.

Jack had heard no less than ten people praying to Lord Designia as the bodies were burned.

——The Creator God is far away, and the devil is coming to the world.

He thought that if Chuangshi Shen was busy, he hoped Lord Dexinia would bless his father and brothers.

The empire is full of despair and nightmares caused by the black death.

Three days later, Jack looked blankly at the place where many corpses were piled up.

There, there was his father... and the boy who burned the body with him a few days ago...

He moved forward on stiff legs.

When the flame touched the kerosene sprinkled on the cloth, it jumped upwards, and clusters of flames climbed along the corpse... Finally, the fierce flames stung Jack's eyes, causing him to stagger back two steps , fell to the ground.

However, the nightmare is not over yet.

The youngest brother fainted due to lack of water and hunger... The other brother was also as thin as a walking skeleton.

Although Jack's health is not much better.

The clothes he used to wear on his body can now be wrapped twice...

— If only after committing suicide had he not gone to see the devil.

Jack thought silently.

Jack let the eldest brother stay at home to take care of the youngest brother, and then ran out of the house clutching the remaining five copper coins. There was a fire burning in his heart, just to grab...

When he ran to the main Boulevard of Blow, Jack stopped abruptly, staring at those strangely dressed and a little scary people with wide eyes.

They were all dressed in tightly wrapped black robes, and the cloth seemed to have been soaked in some liquid, with a faint luster.

On his head he wore a hat with a rounded top and wide brim.

The eyes under the brim of the hat are covered with transparent glass, and the face is covered with a black mask shaped like a bird's beak...

They carried a large box in white-gloved hands...
