Chapter 257 The Situation Is Serious
After more than ten days, Shijia Village has completely changed.
After Tang Tian returned from Liangshui County, the army under his command expanded greatly, conquering all the big and small forces in Tianshui City, and moved most of the population of those conquered forces here. After several days of hard work, there is no longer any The depression after the monsters attacked here.
At the beginning, when Tang Tian upgraded the barracks, after the monsters attacked the city, it was in dilapidated condition, with blood and corpses everywhere, almost all the buildings were dilapidated, and there were not many people who survived. It was completely a dead city after the war. Same.
But looking at Shijia Village at this time, it is completely different. There is a large population now, at least hundreds of thousands of people are busy here. These people are the people who were captured by Tang Tian's first army and migrated here. Yes, without a sound, Tang Tian can be ranked in the top three in Tianshui City as the most populous force under its jurisdiction.
Shijia Village is located in a location surrounded by mountains on three sides, with a flat terrain and a river in front. It can be said to be blessed by nature. Even if Tang Tian established a huge foundation in Tianshui City, he would focus on this place.
In Tianshui City, there were already hundreds of thousands of people living there on Tang Tian's territory, but those were just means to confuse others. All the people living there were low-level or old and weak women and children. Young and middle-aged people with outstanding grades migrated here and quietly developed Shijia Village.
Many of the people who came to Shijia Village were recruited by Tang Tian as backup troops. Apart from going out to level up, they usually develop Shijia Village here.
at this time. The entire Shijia Village is in full swing, and countless people are busy.
Shijia Village is still divided into three areas. The center is a huge military camp, which stands in the middle like an old castle. Looking at the military camp, there is a thick and bloody smell, and people dare not approach it easily.
Now, the entire Shijia Village only has the military barracks. Others, such as the tavern and blacksmith shop, have been moved to Tianshui City. Everything here has been bulldozed and rebuilt, and more than 100,000 people are busy. Even if it is only relying on manpower, this place is changing day by day.
It won't take long for this place to become what Tang Tian imagined before. The outermost area is the place where ordinary people live, the middle area is the commercial area, and the central area becomes the residence of "nobles".
The entire Shijia Village is like a machine running at high speed. Countless people have a clear division of labor and understand what they should do. All of this is arranged by Tan Fei. His ability to coordinate and organize is really too strong, and he arranges everything in an orderly manner. There was no major disturbance.
The ground was not bulldozed, and the survivors who were involved in the design were not called together,
Plan Shijia Village, and then other people will build according to their planned drawings. The ground is full of building foundations. If this continues, I believe that it will not be long before the entire Shijia Village will become a brand new city.
In Shijia Village, everyone knows what they are going to do. And also willingly, this is not only because of the deterrent power of Tang Tian's powerful army and Tan Fei's coordination ability, the most important thing is that Tang Tian has a lot of food. With food in hand, these people have to be willing to serve Tang Tian. Work hard.
Working for Tang Tian here, he can eat enough without worrying about his life being in danger. In this cruel last days, who else is unwilling?
However, today's situation is different, and the air is filled with a tense atmosphere. Although everyone was immersed in their own business, the entire Shijia Village seemed lifeless, as if there was a cloud hanging over the sky.
Such a depressing atmosphere makes people feel breathless.
"People died again. Only a dozen people died yesterday, but more than a hundred people died today. Will a thousand people die tomorrow?"
"It's so weird and terrifying. Those who died were festered and covered with abscesses, and they died just like rotten pork that had been rotting for a month. What's going on?"
"I heard that there seems to be a large-scale plague. In the last days when there are not many medicines, the outbreak of the plague is really terrible. I don't know if it looks like this outside."
"Who knows, we are here, if we want to go out, we have to report. We don't know the changes outside. If the outside world is like this, then this world is really no longer the era of human rule. Is it? Is it true that human beings are going to perish and go into history?"
"Shh, stop talking, if those soldiers find us discussing this issue, and say that we are spreading rumors, then we will be punished..."
In the entire Shijia Village, there are whispering voices like this everywhere, no one speaks loudly, everyone's eyes are flickering with panic, the whole Shijia Village is highly tense, and there are patrolling people everywhere. The voice will be taken away, as for how to deal with it, I don't know, all of this is arranged by Tan Fei.
After Tang Tian received the report from General Huang, he didn't have time to rest, so he immediately came to Shijia Village through the teleportation array in Tianshui City. As soon as he came here, he felt that the atmosphere here was not right.
"Plague, how could there be a plague"? Observing silently in Shijia Village, Tang Tian secretly wanted to think in his heart.
Tang Tian, who couldn't get the answer, immediately went to the barracks to find that old monster Zhong Shan.
"Mr. Zhong, you have been here and never left. May I ask if you know how this plague was sent?" Tang Tian asked Zhong Shan, Zhong Shan has always been here, presumably from his perspective, everything here cannot escape his keen intuition.
Regarding Tang Tian's question, Zhong Shan replied directly: "It happened three days ago, someone died suddenly at night, and the next day his body was almost completely a pile of rotten flesh, no one was alert at first, but Three people died again that afternoon, and things rotted like that in the evening, and it got worse the next day. More than a hundred people had the same situation. Until yesterday, more than 300 people died, and they were all in the same situation. , Today's statistics have not yet come out."
Said here. Zhong Shan paused and continued: "Tan Fei has been suppressing this matter all the time, and the news released has been compressed. Those people don't know the real situation at all, but you need to deal with it as soon as possible. In this way Sooner or later, something big will happen if you go down, but it’s entirely up to you, I can’t help you, hehe, go find Tan Fei, he’s always been in charge of this matter.”
Zhong Shan didn't get any substantive news here. Tang Tian got up and was going to find Tan Fei.
"Wait..." At this moment, Zhong Shan said behind Tang Tian.
Tang Tian turned around and asked in confusion, "Mr. Zhong, what other suggestions do you have?"
"Hehe, I don't have any suggestions, but I suggest you look in that direction, and you may find that nothing is certain," Zhong Shan said, pointing to the north.
Looking in that direction, Tang Tian was startled, thoughtful.
When Tang Tian found Tan Fei. Tan Fei was very busy with this matter, Tang Tian left him to take care of all trivial matters. He can be said to be busy all day.
"Secretary Tan, is there any solution?" After finding Tan Fei, Tang Tian asked directly, the outbreak of the plague is a major event, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible, otherwise it may cause the entire Shijia Village to become a dead city again in just a few days.
"Lord Tang Tian, this matter has no clue. I don't know where the source is. I can only isolate those suspicious people for observation, but it will have no effect at all. If this continues, the situation will get out of hand." Tan Fei's face was full He said haggardly, it seems that he has been worrying about this matter for the past few days.
Tang Tian had expected this result a long time ago, so he was far from disappointed. He asked, "I heard that you gathered all the experts and scholars among the survivors to form a research team. They didn't come up with any results?"
Tan Fei shook his head and said: "There are no corresponding tools and equipment at all. Although they have extremely rich knowledge and theories, they are completely blind guessing without equipment. If they had the equipment before the end of the world, they would have come to a conclusion long ago. ".
After thinking about it, Tang Tian couldn't help it. Before the end of the world, people relied too much on various high-tech equipment, and now they can't do anything without those things.
"Take me to see those who died of the plague," Tang Tian said finally.
Tan Fei immediately agreed, but said: "It's okay to go, but you must do a good job of protection, otherwise it won't be fun if you get infected with the virus."
"No, I have a sense of proportion", Tang Tian therefore doesn't need those.
"Well, since I don't insist on not using protection, I won't force it, but if you really accidentally contract the plague virus, don't blame me for not reminding you," Tan Fei kindly reminded.
Follow Tan Fei to the side of the mountain behind Shijia Village. There is a big pit filled with dead bodies. No one can get close to it for hundreds of meters. There are troops stationed hundreds of meters away, imitating someone running to come here.
The only thing that haunts here are the troops who transport corpses here from time to time.
In this big pit, there are no less than a thousand corpses. Without exception, these corpses are rapidly decomposing, turning into puddles of pus, which is extremely smelly.
Tang Tian observed those corpses that hadn't died for a long time at close range. Without exception, there were large and disgusting abscesses everywhere on those corpses, oozing yellow and yellow liquid.
Looking at these corpses, there was nothing to gain. Tang Tian even looked at them with the evolved eyes of reality, but still found nothing.
But just when Tang Tian was about to leave, his pet mutant demon vine jumped out and took root on the edge of the big pit.
Tang Tian didn't stop it, because he knew that the mutant demon vine was going to absorb those corpses to evolve itself.
Finally, Tang Tian left here. At this time, it was already dark, and today's results came out. As many people expected, thousands of people died during this day. Of course, the data reported to the outside world has been reduced. ten times.
"It seems that I should go there to have a look tomorrow, presumably there should be the source..." Under the night sky, Tang Tian muttered to himself...
(Shitou sincerely wants to say sorry to everyone. I have been really busy these days. I work overtime every day until 11 or 12 o’clock. Brothers and sisters of Shishi, don’t worry, this book will definitely not be a eunuch. Well, there is only this chapter today...)
