Chapter 88 Plague City

The dark red blood kept flowing out of the veins, and the person who was black all over the bed was not conscious at first, but after losing a lot of blood, his breathing soon became weak, and he was about to die.

"The disease lurks in the blood, and bloodletting can effectively save people infected by the plague." Dr. Niaozui said to Chu Yangbing and Lu Fei who were watching.

Before Chu Yangbing entered this story, Lu Feishen had popularized information about the great plague in Europe in the Middle Ages, and it was mentioned in it.Because medical technology was underdeveloped in the past, doctors at that time believed that the disease was lurking in the blood, and the way doctors treated patients was bloodletting.

Cold and cold, bloodletting; fracture trauma, bloodletting; headache and brain fever, bloodletting... The more serious the condition, the more bloodletting.Bloodletting therapy has been popular for thousands of years, but the more advanced method of bloodletting is to use leeches to suck blood.It is said that in the 19s, the annual consumption of leeches in Paris alone was as high as 30 to 500 million.

But bloodletting obviously does not have a therapeutic effect, it will only make people die faster. Even King Charles II of England and President Washington of the United States died of bloodletting therapy.

On the other side, Dr. Bird's Beak took out a tool similar to a hand pump from the toolbox on the side. He connected the hand pump to some kind of container, and then connected the hand pump to a copper tube to pump the liquid in the container into the body of the person on the bed. .

"As you know, generally speaking, the plague will cause a patient's body fluid imbalance." Dr. Bird's Beak explained: "At this time, we need to inject additional fluid to restore the system balance in the human body."

Body fluid balance is also an important theory of some doctors in the Middle Ages. Some doctors would put leeches, frogs and other animals on the patient's lymph gland swelling to "rebalance the patient's body fluid".

The more Chu Yangbing looked at it, the more he felt that the bird beak doctor was not saving people at all, but killing people.

Even if the person lying on the bed was not a patient infected by the plague, but a normal person who was bled and pumped with an unknown liquid, he might not be able to survive.

Dr. Bird's Beak took out something similar to an electrode stick, and after connecting the electrodes, he tapped on the limbs of the person on the bed.

Where the hell did he get the electricity?

Chu Yangbing frowned, suddenly, he saw the curtain hanging next to him move, and a small and weak sound leaked from it.

"Someone..." Chu Yangbing pulled Lu Feichen, signaling to him that there was something behind the curtain.

"Huh?" Chu Yangbing tried his best to lower his voice, but he didn't expect Dr. Bird's Beak to hear it. He turned around and said to Chu Yangbing, "Human? I won't have anyone here, it's just a cat."

As he spoke, Dr. Niaozui opened a hole in the patient's chest with a scalpel, and inserted the electrode rod into it.

Something unbelievable happened, the patient on the bed suddenly let out a gasp, and his chest began to vibrate with his heavy breathing.

The strange and powerful agitation made Lu Fei feel vigilant, taking advantage of the doctor's beak being distracted by the patient on the bed, he pulled Chu Yangbing and moved towards the stone house door calmly.

The patient on the bed who had been transformed by Dr. Bird's Beak suddenly became active. His muscles and limbs began to twitch and twist to varying degrees. After that, the man suddenly sat up.

"Aha, look, he is cured." Dr. Bird's Beak leaned on his cane, and said in a low magnetic voice with a little joy, "Although it is still not perfect, it has improved."

The person on the bed, no, it cannot be called a person, but something that can only be called a monster suddenly stood up, and it began to walk unsteadily, trying to move stiffly.Electrodes were inserted into the hole in his chest, and his chest seemed to be jumping 'boom' under the action of the current.

Seeing this, Lu Feishen immediately pulled Chu Yangbing out of the door, and took Chu Yangbing to the agreed rendezvous point with Lilith and Jiang Zhirou.

"How is it?" Lilith asked.

Lu Feishen said: "The man wearing the bird's beak mask claims to be a doctor, and he is trying to heal people infected by the plague."

"No, it can't be called a cure." Chu Yangbing still remembered the monster that started to move, he said: "That can only be called transformation. Doctor Bird's Beak transforms a dying patient into another monster."

Lu Fei sighed deeply, and said: "But he at least claims to be a doctor, and I hope we won't be infected by the plague and go to him for treatment when we have nowhere to go."

Jiang Zhirou asked again: "Did you find anything else?"

Lu Feishen said: "We went outside the city. There is indeed a river clogged with corpses outside the city, but we didn't find any other strange people except Dr. Bird's Beak."

"But I found a black cat on the pile of corpses." Chu Yangbing thought about it for a while, and said, "That black cat was scarred and eating corpses, and it was very hostile to humans. I heard a faint noise in my apartment, I'm not sure what it was, but Doctor Bird's Beak said it was a cat."

"There is no witch..." Jiang Zhirou pondered for a moment, then suddenly said, "Could Dr. Bird's Beak be a witch."

According to Lu Feishen's description of Dr. Bird's Beak, his whole body was covered in a large black robe, with a mask on his face, and his voice could not distinguish between men and women.

Chu Yangbing shook his head. Although he didn't know why, Chu Yangbing intuitively believed that Dr. Niaozui was not a witch.

But Chu Yangbing was very concerned about one thing, that is, when he realized that there was a possibility of someone hiding behind the curtain, Dr. Bird's Beak said casually, 'People?I won't have anyone here, it's just a cat'.

It's weird, and that's the weirdest bit.

The archbishop is advocating the relationship between black cats, witches and demons in the city. Dr. Bird's Beak can say that there are other patients hiding behind the curtain, but he says that there are cats behind the curtain.

Cats had almost become a taboo in this city, saying that it was a cat would indeed make people feel scared and stop exploring, but wasn't he afraid that they would tell the archbishop about it?

When Dr. Bird's Beak said it was a 'cat', he also emphasized that there would be no one there. In other words, Dr. Bird's Beak probably hides people there.And that person has a very close connection with the cat. This connection made Dr. Bird's Beak subconsciously think of the cat when he wanted to cover up the person's tracks, so he would naturally say 'it's just a cat'.

Just as Chu Yangbing was about to express his conjecture, Lilith stopped him suddenly. She turned her head and shouted at a stone house with red letters on it, "Come out!"

The stone house next to it was silent, Lilith sneered and said, "Why, do you want me to catch you?"

There was a chuckle from inside the stone house, Liang You walked out, and said with a smile: "Ms. Lilith is really sharp."

Chu Yangbing was startled when he saw Liang You. He didn't realize that there was anyone around here at all. Chu Yangbing glanced at Lu Feichen suspiciously.He didn't notice it, so didn't Lu Feishen notice it?

"What are you doing with us?" Lilith asked coldly.

Liang You said: "I act alone, so I naturally want to go wherever I want, but I didn't expect the two ladies to join hands with the two men... This..."

"Aren't you afraid of being sold by them?"

Lilith took a deep look at Liang You, and she said, "You don't have to worry about that, but I don't want to 'chance' meet you again in the city."

Liang You still had that half-smile expression on his face, and he said, "Of course, of course..."

Li Lisi led Chu Yangbing and the others to turn around and leave. Liang You looked at their backs and suddenly said, "I got in touch with those who sprinkled holy water. Witch trials happen every three days at sunrise... in this city The women are almost dead..."

"Be careful..."

Liang You's last sentence, be careful, has a lot of meaning.

They wandered around the city all day, and now the sky has darkened. Neither the person who threw the holy water nor the body collector disappeared. Only four people stood on the empty street.

Lilith said: "Look for an empty stone house to stay overnight, and then continue the investigation tomorrow."

The three of them were hungry and tired, so they found a stone house that looked clean.There was a well in the courtyard of the stone house, but after learning about the situation of the river outside the city, Chu Yangbing and the others really didn't want to drink it.

But there is no way, people have to drink water.

Lu Feishen and Chu Yangbing went to other unoccupied stone houses to find a lot of sundries. Lu Feishen used curtains and other fabrics with little contact with people and chopped wooden chairs as fuel, and used the found oil to support the combustion. There was a fire.They also drew water from the well and boiled it on the fire. First, they used boiling water to clear out a place to live in the stone house, and then used boiling water to boil tableware for drinking.

The four of them still had the food they had obtained in the city during the day, so they ate some of the boiled water.

As night fell, Jiang Zhirou and Lilith were laying the floor in a room, while Chu Yangbing and Lu Feishen were laying the floor in the living room and guarding the door of the stone house.

In the dead of night, Chu Yangbing couldn't help but asked Lu Fei, "Did you discover Liang You a long time ago, why didn't you tell him directly, and let him hear a lot of information."

Lilith can find Liang You who is hiding, but can Lu Feishen not find it?Chu Yangbing didn't react at that time, so he asked him only then.

Lu Fei looked at Chu Yang's watery eyes in the icy night, and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you let him listen, Doctor Bird's Beak is not safe, so let him go and explore the way."

Chu Yangbing leaned against Lu Feichen's body. Although the two of them were wrapped in airtight cloth, Chu Yangbing still had a sense of security that their skin was close to each other.

"Do you think Dr. Bird's Beak is a witch?" Chu Yangbing asked again.

"What do you think?" Lu Feichen asked back.

Chu Yangbing paused, and told Lu Feishen his conjecture, he said, "I don't think it's that simple, Doctor Bird's Beak doesn't look like a witch."

But if the beak doctor is not a witch, who is the witch?Although the people in the city are dying, there are nearly ten thousand people left. How can we find a witch among only ten thousand people?

"I suspect that Doctor Bird's Beak is covering up or helping witches." Chu Yangbing still suspects that Doctor Bird's Beak is related to witches, Doctor Bird's Beak's strange treatment, the living creatures hiding behind the curtain... Chu Yangbing kept thinking about the scene during the day , but what impressed me the most was the corpse floating on the river outside the city and the skinny and scarred black cat.

Lu Feishen looked confused, he slid down Chu Yangbing's back, kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I'll think about it tomorrow, let's rest first."

Why should the words body and fluid be shielded... JJ is really...ORZ...
