Infected people will die soon, and after death, they will turn into zombies.
Anyone bitten or scratched by a zombie will also turn into a zombie.
The plague spread like a beacon fire.
Things got serious and the Corpse Sect's whereabouts were exposed.
The whole city was shocked and people were panicked!
As for this epidemic, the city government chose to be indifferent and allowed the evil situation to develop.
When the time came, rioters appeared.
Rioters appeared and uprisings continued in various places, but the city lord's mansion, which had been standing by and watching, actually sent troops to suppress the rebels...
"Is that really the case?"
After listening, Zheng Zhi murmured softly.
However, there was not much surprise on his face.
Everything was not very different from his guess.
There is no doubt that natural disasters are terrible.
But what is more terrible than natural disasters are man-made disasters.
The plague must have been caused by the Corpse Sect, and the city lord's mansion must have something to do with the Corpse Sect.
"Did your Excellency already know this?"
Seeing Zheng Zhi's calm expression, Long Qie was extremely surprised.
"I guessed a little bit, the difference is not big."
Zheng Zhi smiled slightly.
"Then Sir, what should we do next?"
Long Qie asked quickly.
"How many rebels like you are there in the port city?"
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Zhi asked.
"Most of them have been wiped out, and there should be three or five more."
Long Qie looked helpless: "Your Excellency also knows that the gap between ordinary civilians and the army is really huge."
Zheng Zhi nodded: "Can I contact you?"
"able."
Long Qie said: "We are all rebels. We support each other and have contact information."
"If I step in and bring everyone together, is there any problem?"
Zheng Zhi asked again.
"Really?"
Long Qie was overjoyed: "Everyone has been waiting for this day."
"Leave it to them!"
Zheng pointed directly at the people around Long Qie, and then said: "As for you, are you interested in following me to Hong Kong City to explore?"
"What I wish for."
Long Qie agreed immediately.
Wang Cha's identity is different from ordinary people. If you can follow him, you will definitely learn a lot. Moreover, the Wang Cha in front of you is also a great swordsman...
A few people were ordered to retreat and began to contact the remaining rebels.
As for Zheng Zhi, he has led Long Qi and left.
At dusk, the two of them passed through several towns.
Everything he passed was lifeless, with no living beings to be seen.
After that, the two began to meet some refugees.
After a little inquiry, I found that these people came from various towns in the port city, and most of them were survivors of the plague.
Zombies are everywhere in Hong Kong City, and many towns are no longer able to survive. Only by escaping to Hong Kong City can you have a chance to survive.
As we get closer to the port city, the number of refugees increases.
The mountain road is rugged and there are countless places at a glance.
The elderly, women, children, and children are all among them.
"Damn Corpse Sect."
Long Qie clenched his fists tightly, his eyes spitting fire.
This is a young man who hates evil.
In contrast, Zheng Zhi looked calm.
Having also experienced suffering, my heart was as cold as iron, and I just shook my head: "How can the people not resist in such a situation?"
Not long after, a towering city wall came into view.
The word "port city" attracts special attention.
Zheng Zhi looked up and down and nodded secretly.
It is worthy of being the first city under the county city in Tianhai. It is truly magnificent and cannot be compared with Zaocheng.
"Listen, we are patrolling the city lord's palace. If you want to enter the city, you need to pay a thousand taels of silver."
At this moment, two warriors came on horseback and shouted loudly.
The flow of refugees suddenly stopped.
Many people turned pale, obviously unable to afford so much silver.
The usual city entry tax is only two taels of silver or one thousand taels, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Even the former port city was a rich place.
In the flow of refugees, two figures were mixed in.
"These lackeys are simply heartless."
Long Qie's face turned livid and he cursed angrily in a low voice.
Zheng Zhi patted the former's shoulder to comfort him.
He doesn't want to be exposed yet.
Zheng Zhi didn't say much. After paying the silver, he wanted to enter the city.
"grown ups……"
The dragon wanted to speak but stopped.
Looking around, it turned out that many old people, women and children were being whipped and expelled by the people from the city lord's palace.
Many people were directly beaten to death on the spot.
Such behavior is extremely cruel, no different from treating animals.
“The overall situation is the most important thing.”
Zheng Zhi shook his head gently.
Exposing it here makes no sense.
Long Qie didn't say much. He was a little disappointed when he saw the indifference in Zheng Zhi's eyes.
"Obviously the king of the county has issued a royal decree that in the face of natural disasters, refugees can enter the city tax-free."
"The City Lord's Mansion is making a fortune for the country, so no one cares about it?"
"Where is the law of heaven? Where is the law of kings?"
…
There were complaints among the crowd.
But such remarks were rewarded with a merciless whipping.
No one sympathizes with these lower class people.
The place where the refugees stopped was still several miles away from the port city.
A large number of garrison troops were stationed on the city walls and outside the city.
Their armors were shining brightly, and their spears emitted cold light.
In stark contrast to the refugees in rags.
The two entered the city along with the few refugees who paid silver.
Different from the impression, the city is also a purgatory on earth.
The prosperity of the past is gone, just like the clouds and smoke of the past.
Both sides of the broad street were lined with people in tattered clothes.
They were skinny as a stick and their eyes were wandering.
The one thousand taels of city entry tax was all their savings. After paying it, they would not be able to survive in the port city at all.
Some women hold infant children in their arms, even though the children in their arms are no longer alive...
Is this still the port city known as a coastal paradise?
"Selling children? Only girls."
A carriage passed by, it was a rich man from the port city.
Some parents sell girls at low prices.
There are also many young girls who take the initiative to follow rich people.
A rich man opened the curtain of his car and stuck his head out.
Perhaps out of fun or pity, he threw some steamed buns from the car.
Many refugees, their eyes shining brightly, swarmed over and started looting.
There were even fights during the robbery, which was extremely brutal.
Some refugees grabbed the food and ate it with the mud.
This scene made many rich people around burst into laughter.
Zheng Zhi and Long Qie walked side by side, taking in a panoramic view of the scenery in front of them.
Long Qie's eyes showed unbearability and wanted to help, but when he saw the number of refugees on the street, he sighed helplessly.
Even if he has some money, there is nothing he can do.
The power of one person is ultimately too small.
Zheng Zhi looked as cold as ice.
Unlike Long Qie, he does not have much compassion in his heart.
"Untouchables ahead, get out of here!"
However, just as the two were walking, a loud shout reached their ears.
Zheng Zhi frowned, looked up, and saw a luxurious carriage rushing towards him.
The person who spoke was none other than the driver of the car.
Hearing this, Long Qi was about to speak, but his expression changed.
I saw that the coachman had no intention of stopping, but instead drove faster.
The galloping horse roared towards Zheng Zhi with its two hoofs.
If it were an ordinary person, they would be killed or maimed in a collision at such a speed.
"It's too much to bully someone."
Before Zheng Zhi could take action, Long Qie was already furious.
Turning his palm, a long sword appeared in his hand.
The halo flickers and the sword roars, it is the dragon chanting sword.
"call out!"
The sword flashed, and the groom screamed and died on the spot.
And the horse traveling high in the sky was also split into two under the light of the sword.
The horse driving the carriage died, and the carriage it was driving split apart on the spot, revealing the panic-stricken owner inside.
This is a middle-aged fat man, with a shiny face and a rich look.
"You are so bold and unruly that you dare to commit murder on the street."
Two men in black appeared on the left and right of the car owner, their eyes like hawks showing murderous intent.
