Chapter 68 Imperial Capital Reinforcement
In just one day and one night, nearly 10,000 corpses died in Lanyin City.
Even though most of the corpses were old men in their twilight years, it was still a bit chilling when they were all blown down by a terrifying existence overnight.
After the situation gradually stabilized, the bodies were cremated and burned, and each household took back the pale ashes. Even if Xuan Yi knew that the truth of this epidemic was not a disease or a germ, but the curse from the necrotic magic and the misty dead aura, such a huge dead body would still become a huge hidden danger if it was not dealt with.
Fortunately, the Lanye Empire has been slowly promoting cremation for nearly a thousand years, so such large-scale cremation has not been resisted too much, especially with the full support of the Xie Bang and the Lanyin City, which are still operating government agencies, public security has been basically controlled, and large-scale vicious incidents have not occurred under such a tragic atmosphere.
Xuan Yi, who was taking a break from her busy schedule, went to see Yaoyao who stayed in the apartment, but she didn't expect that it was Zhao Xueyi who was accompanying her personally.
But Yaoyao never left the apartment and waited in Zhao Xueyi's room, so the person in charge of Lanyin City in the West City could only stay in her room with Yaoyao until Xuan Yi knocked on the door himself.
Afterwards, Xuan Yi and Yaoyao also took the time to look at Liu Sisi. Liu's powerful magic barrier showed trustworthy strength at this time, and the dead spirit did not penetrate into Liu's house at all, so even Jimmy, who was in twilight years, could be safe and sound, which surprised Xuan Yi a little.
Of course - Liu Zhai was originally the base camp of the [Death Sacrifice], and it was expected that he would not be attacked at this time.
He comforted Liu Sisi and gave her some ingredients to stay at home and not run around. Then Xuan Yi went to a few pharmacies for on-site inspections.
He had the perception of spiritual medicine, so most of the medicinal materials could not escape the boy's nose. However, after actually checking the spot, he found that as reported before, there were quite a few other medicinal materials in all pharmacies and warehouses. Only a few of the most appropriate medicinal materials were bought in advance by the City Lord's Mansion, especially because the buyer was special, so he didn't even dare to ask about the selling points.
Yaoyao followed Xuan Yi, and the situation has basically stabilized, but the plague is still spreading and raging. Xuan Yi has received the heavy responsibility of thanking him and naturally cannot set up a stall to live, so the turtle shell was thrown in the apartment. Yaoyao was only wearing the clothes like a treasure bag, silently acting as Xuan Yi's little tail.
At this moment, a loud bell suddenly came from the sky above Lanyin City.
The bells were clear and echoed in this somewhat lonely city, which shocked a few jackdaws and rattled through the air.
Xuan Yi rarely heard the ringing of the Lanyin City bell, but he roughly understood that ringing the bell means gathering in the whole city. This is a privilege that is almost exclusive to the city lord. Of course, after leaving the Lanlan Emperor Capital in Jibeihai and entrusting most of the powers to Xie En, Xie En can do this. However, because the plague is rampant now, it is not a good idea to let the crowd gather, so Xie En did not consider ringing the bell at all.
But since this bell was not knocked by Thanksgiving, who could knock it?
Xuan Yi quickly had his own answer in his heart, and he turned around and took Yaoyao's hand: "Let's go to the city square to take a look."
...
...
The afternoon in Lanyin City was much quieter than usual. The sun emerged from the clouds, sprinkling sunlight that was nearly untemperate, but it also dispersed the white mist that made people feel gloomy in the city.
Lanyin City has just ushered in a terrifying plague, so not many people are willing to go out under such circumstances. However, it seems that the priority is very high after the bell in the city rings. There are still tens of thousands of people gathered in Lanyin Square, which is quite impressive.
Xuan Yi and Yaoyao were mixed in the crowd. They were actually not in Lanyin City for a long time. Although Xuan Yi now has the title of commander-in-chief of the front line, many of his previous orders were directly issued to members of the Xie Gang. There were almost no acquaintances in the entire Lanyin City. The advantage of not having any acquaintances is that not many people actually knew them.
The square is very large, and the official residence of Lanyin City is conveniently located in front of it. Most officials work in it. In the past, some vendors sell food and gifts. However, now, the epidemic is rampant, and the second is that the officials are directly recruited, so the idle merchants seem to have been removed from the market.
Xuan Yi looked at the high platform of the square and saw the slightly bleak figure of Jibeihai at a glance. He had a very good eye and was mixed in the crowd, so he was not afraid of being discovered by the other party. It was only seen that overnight, the city lord, who had always had a very good reputation in Lanyin County, seemed to have grown a lot older, and some white hair could be seen in the temples.
After Jibeihai came out, buzzing talk came from the entire Lanyin Square. The city lord coughed gently and said calmly: "Sujing."
It rolled past the square like thunder, and no one could hear the words of the person opposite them, so after the sound, the entire square instantly became quiet.
"I know there is an epidemic in the city." Ji Beihai said deeply: "Everything is negligent and I feel guilty."
As soon as this said, there were waves of discussion coming from below. Xuan Yi was in the crowd and could hear clearly. He was basically saying that this was a natural disaster rather than a man-made disaster. The city lord should not blame himself too much. It seems that Jibeihai has always had a good reputation in Lanyin City.
The discussion this time was smaller than before, but there were even more painful and depressing crying sounded in the corners. Even though this plague mostly killed the lives of elderly and weak people, many families still lost their relatives forever.
Ji Beihai quietly listened to the all-encompassing voice below. He waited until people's emotions were almost vented, and he spoke gently. The sound filled the four fields, echoing lightly but clearly in everyone's ears, with depression and sadness.
"I'm sorry."
"But I can't do anything."
"For this reason, I asked Lan Landi to ask for the first time for assistance, and I also received the treatment team sent by Ye Ye Academy. In the next days, we may have to fight an arduous battle."
Although Xuan Yi didn't want to believe a word about Jibeihai's words, Jibeihai's words were hard to help but pay more attention to them.
Ye Ye Academy?
And the crowd around him had already become excited.
The hope of people in despair is the most valuable, not to mention that the hope that Jibeihai brought this time is the most reliable hope.
Lan Landi Capital and Ye Ye Academy sent reinforcements to the city at the same time. This was something I didn’t even dare to think about before. I’m afraid that only the amazing energy of the city lord can bring the attention of those big names.
After all, no one hopes that such a terrible plague will spread in the Lanye Empire.
Xuan Yi thought so, then casually turned his gaze back to the high platform, but saw a familiar blue hair.
His body suddenly became stiff, and even Yaoyao behind him felt the boy's strangeness. He couldn't help but pull the corner of his clothes and asked softly: "What's wrong?"
"Xuan Yi."
Xuan Yi shook his head, lowered his head to hug Yaoyao, and then slowly retreated out of the crowd.
“Nothing.”
