In a chaotic world of infrastructure development, a woman's path to survival after being reborn

These poisoned refugees are no different from ordinary people when the symptoms are not acting up, but once they do, they become like vicious dogs, biting anyone they can get their hands on, without any sense of reason whatsoever.

This situation was discovered just as the person was about to enter the city, because the person's illness had just flared up, causing them to act erratically, completely losing their reason, biting anyone they could get their hands on, which was quite terrifying.

The accident happened so fast that it caught everyone off guard. The soldiers guarding the city took immediate action, but some people were still injured, and the scene became chaotic for a moment.

After struggling for a while, they finally brought the people under control. The soldiers present looked at the people on the ground who were bound by iron chains but were still struggling. After seeing the scarlet in their eyes, they couldn't help but take a step back, wondering what kind of illness they were suffering from.

News of what happened outside the city quickly reached Su Li. Upon learning of the incident, Su Li immediately ordered the soldiers to close the city gates to ensure the safety of the people outside the city.

The commotion outside the city was quite loud, and some people even witnessed it firsthand. So when Su Li arrived with her people in a hurry, a large crowd of onlookers had already gathered at the city gate.

Seeing so many people gathered at the city gate, Su Li frowned and then ordered the soldiers to disperse them.

Only a small gate remained at the city gate for people to enter and exit. Su Li followed the soldiers out through this small gate and saw refugees bound hand and foot and thrown on the ground.

The refugees had bloodshot eyes and looked frantic, as if they had contracted some kind of strange disease.

Seeing this scene, Su Li's expression turned serious. She looked at Doctor Liu beside her and asked, "What kind of symptoms are these, and is there any way to treat them?"

Doctor Liu was the most skilled doctor in Lingcheng. She had originally thought that Zhao Zexuan and his men might take her with them when they went on their expedition, but Zhao Zexuan did not take Doctor Liu and chose other doctors to accompany them instead.

Having witnessed Dr. Liu's medical skills firsthand, Su Li trusted him completely, so she asked him directly.

Doctor Liu arrived a quarter of an hour ago, and his brows were furrowed deeply. After hearing Su Li's words, he replied, "Madam, their pulses suggest poisoning, but I have never seen anyone with such symptoms of poisoning before."

Su Li had never seen such symptoms of poisoning before, so she asked directly, "Is there any way to detoxify?"

Upon hearing this, Doctor Liu shook his head and said, "Not for now. I need to study it further."

There was no antidote! Su Li was puzzled and was about to speak when she noticed a refugee next to her who was clutching his arm and had a dark complexion.

Seeing that the man's face was getting darker and darker, as if he had been poisoned, Su Li immediately ordered the soldiers to take him aside and tie him up.

The toxin spread rapidly. Those who had just had a blackish complexion were now experiencing severe reactions. Like the crazed people, their eyes were bloodshot and their faces were contorted in rage.

Seeing this, the soldiers present all looked grim. Su Li had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, and asked, "These people were scratched, right?"

Upon hearing this, a soldier immediately nodded and said, "They were scratched, and the incident occurred less than half an hour apart. Moreover, the wounds were treated immediately, so how could they have gotten infected?"

No one could answer that question at the moment. Su Li only knew that this matter needed to be handled properly as soon as possible. In recent days, Lingcheng had recruited more than just this batch of refugees. If there were any sick people who had managed to sneak into the city, the consequences would be immeasurable.

Thinking of the potential consequences, Su Li shuddered and said to Mo Bei, who was waiting beside her, "Quickly find the list of refugees we've received recently. There might be patients with this disease hidden among them."

Upon hearing this, everyone present felt a sense of dread. If that were the case, the sky over Lingcheng would collapse.

The specific symptoms needed to be determined through research, so Dr. Liu and his men set up several tents outside the city to live in. Some refugees who were in good health and in normal condition and were preparing to enter the city could only stay outside the city for the time being.

The large-scale search within the city caused quite a stir, further alarming the already uneasy populace, who began speculating about what had happened.

To avoid causing excessive panic among the people, the news was blocked early on, so no matter how much the people speculate now, they cannot find out any information.

Things happened so suddenly, and there were so many things to arrange that Su Li didn't fall asleep until midnight. But she woke up early the next morning.

Just as she finished tidying up, Su Li noticed a noise outside and asked, "What's going on?"

The maidservant, who was waiting outside, immediately replied after hearing Su Li's question: "General Mo Bei asked me to tell you, Madam, that General Mo Nan has returned with his men."

"Mo Nan? Wasn't he with Zhao Zexuan? Why is he back now?" Su Li muttered to herself, then, as if remembering something, she said to the outside, "I know, tell them to wait a moment, I'll be right there."

……

In the main room of the front courtyard, Mo Nan was anxiously pulling Mo Bei aside to ask about the situation. He had noticed the commotion outside the city before entering and was worried that something unpredictable had happened.

Seeing Mo Nan's anxious expression, Mo Bei had no choice but to explain the situation in detail and ask Mo Nan why he had suddenly returned to the city.

After hearing what had happened, Mo Nan breathed a sigh of relief and slumped into his chair, speechless for a long time.

Seeing this, Mo Bei frowned. Just as he was about to ask another question, he saw the general's wife walking towards the hall.

Upon seeing this, Mo Bei turned and bowed, while Mo Nan, who had just been sitting in a chair, also stood up and bowed respectfully.

Upon seeing Mo Nan, Su Li didn't waste any words and asked what had happened and why he had returned to the city.

Upon hearing Su Li's question, Mo Nan then told her the whole truth and explained the purpose of his return to the city.

"So, all these patients are the work of the King of Wu. What is their purpose in doing this?" Su Li asked, frowning with some surprise.

Upon hearing this, Mo Bei shook his head: "We still don't know what the situation is on the King of Wu's side. The general asked us to return to the city to inform him of this situation. I didn't expect things to develop so quickly, but thankfully, things aren't too bad."

Su Li was also glad that she discovered the situation at the city gate, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable.

These few patients are already a headache enough. I can't imagine how many more patients Zhao Zexuan and his team will have to deal with. Thinking about the consequences of being scratched by those people, Su Li's brows furrowed tightly.

"Mo Nan, do you still need to go back to Zhao Zexuan's side?" Su Li suddenly asked.

Upon hearing this, Mo Nan nodded without hesitation and said, "After informing Madam of the news, I still need to rush back to catch up with the team."

Hearing Mo Nan's words, Su Li understood what was going on. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Then wait a few days, and I'll have someone make a batch of defensive tools for you to take with you."
