The General is Pregnant: His Majesty Abstinence and Sexual Devotion Every Night

Chapter 287 Action

If they are really not sick, it is not a bad idea to let them in. However, this method was only barely settled last time when a sick citizen was found pretending to be healthy and trying to force his way into the city. He was eventually killed in public by the guards.

But even so, there are still many people every day who want to break in like the man they killed, as if with some twisted minds, as if they are wondering why this is happening to us in the east, west or north of the city, but you people in Chengdu are fine. This weird and unbalanced mentality has led to many sick people wanting to break in.

This gave Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou a headache. Every day they had to kill a demonstrator to threaten these psychologically twisted people, but they would be fine today and come again the next day. They had no idea what was going on with these people.

Some people were about to fall ill but insisted that they were not sick. They also wanted to go into the capital with others. However, they were clearly told no and were killed by the guards just before entering the capital.

Eventually, as there were more and more of them, they got annoyed and posted notices at the city gates, saying that people who were sick, about to become ill, or had signs of illness were prohibited from entering. If they were discovered by the guards, they would be killed without mercy.

This notice was quite useful, and within a short period of time the people were indeed much more well-behaved.

However, those civilians who did not have any symptoms were also taken to other places by the guards, namely, several rock caves in Chengdu. This was the idea of Yongning Hou. It is better to be safe than sorry. If one of these people is sick, then all the people in Chengdu will be ruined because of this one person. Wouldn't that be a big loss? !

But Zhang Wenlai didn't know whether to be happy or cry. After all, except for some sick people who claimed that they were not sick and wanted to fill in the numbers, the number of truly healthy people who came to the city every day was pitifully small, with no more than twenty people coming every day.

Zhang Wenlai collected his thoughts, and then couldn't help thinking that perhaps even ten people wouldn't be able to gather today.

As expected, at the end of the day, only eight people were left coming to Chengdu.

During this day, Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou did not go anywhere. They just checked from time to time in the city to see if anyone was sick with the plague.

It would not have mattered if they had not investigated, but when they did, a lot of people were found. When Zhang Wenlai and Yongning Hou found out, they looked terrified.

After sending people to deal with these people, they returned to the City Lord's Mansion with cold looks on their faces.

Sometimes he would look at the courtyard where Li Laile lived. It was said that he had not left the courtyard all day, not even for lunch, and was busy researching the antidote. But apart from Li Laile, there was only An Yu helping him, while the others were busy saving people or continuing to research the three medicinal herbs elsewhere.

The day just passed by, as if nothing had happened, and yet as if everything had happened.

The next day, the weather was not as hot and dry as in the past. Instead, it felt a bit cool and damp. The sun did not hang high in the sky. Instead, there was a dark cloud overhead, and it was so gloomy that it seemed as if not a single light could get in.

Looking at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to rain.

Zhang Wenlai thought this in his heart, and then focused his attention elsewhere.

Since they couldn't go out, they could only focus all their attention on Johto. Johto actually had so many sick people hiding, which made the two of them very worried.

Some of the patients who were diagnosed were afraid that Zhang Wenlai would kill them. They looked at the man who was looking down at them not far away, their faces turned pale and their eyes were full of despair.

After all, in the past, people who were infected with the plague were either killed by their superiors or cremated alive.

So when they were mentally prepared and were about to face death, what they didn't expect was that Zhang Wenlai did not send anyone to deal with them, but ordered his people to take them all to several caves in the mountains of Nanyu City.

The inside of the cave is relatively simple, but it has everything. Some poorer people, seeing the furnishings in the cave, might even think that this place is much better than their doghouse.

It is said that these holes were dug out by hunters who used to hunt in the mountains.

After all, hunters make their living by eating animals in the mountains.

The prey in the mountains are cunning and savage by nature. They can escape without a trace if you are not careful. And when catching prey, the most important thing is patience.

It would take several days to catch a prey. The last thing hunters lack is patience. After several days of waiting in the woods, there would be no problem.

But it is impossible to wander around the forest in the mountains for the next few days. What if a wolf or other animal that comes out to hunt for food at night sees the fire built by the hunter and walks over out of curiosity? If they see the hunter sleeping soundly, they will think he is food and bite him. Wouldn’t that kill him?

So the hunter just found a place in the mountains and built a simple, barely habitable dwelling.

Some like to build a simple wooden house, while others like to find a cave that looks safe, reliable, and hidden, and will not be discovered by other people or animals, as a simple shelter.

Although Zhang Wenlai did not know every detail about what was happening in his own city, he was well aware of some of the livelihood issues facing the people.

So he asked some hunters who were not sick and could be considered reliable about the cave and the wooden house. Fortunately, these hunters had been taken care of by Zhang Wenlai before, so they readily agreed to Zhang Wenlai's request to stay in the cave. After all, when Zhang Wenlai asked them to stay, he paid them a lot.

Zhang Wenlai didn't want to kill all these patients. What if they developed the antidote one day, but most of the people in the city had already died? Then what was the difference between Nanyu City and a dead city?

It would be better to keep people in the mountains in case of emergency.

After these matters were resolved, Zhang Wenlai came to the small courtyard where Li Laile and the doctors had been staying, wanting to find out the current situation.

However, at this time they were getting busier and busier. When they saw Zhang Wenlai coming in, they just glanced at him and then didn't even say hello. They continued to devote themselves to research and development. Now they are extremely busy.

Zhang Wenlai didn't care, he just glanced at them briefly, and didn't bother them anymore, he just turned around and left. Life was busy as usual, but Yongning Hou and Zhang Wenlai, who had been busy for so long, seemed to have forgotten one person, the one they had asked the people around them to keep an eye on at all times.

That is Qi'an Yi.
