Xu Zuyin had been stationed at the border for many years and was highly respected. In addition, with soldiers maintaining political order, the vaccination process went more smoothly than expected.

The people of the border town deeply resented the Quanrong, and they wouldn't find it strange what those beasts did.

Since the general is offering the detoxification to everyone for free, what is there to doubt?

The relationship between the military and civilians in the border town is incomparable to that in the bustling capital; it is a true one-family relationship between the military and the people.

After all, recruiting soldiers from other places is extremely difficult in this desolate place, and more than half of the original Beirong Pass soldiers were locals.

General Xu deliberately spread more rumors.

It is said that if it weren't for the war, the imperial court would not have been willing to transport such good medicine to the border, which further encouraged the people to get vaccinated.

This is human nature.

You say the court does good deeds, but everyone is suspicious.

You said that it's because of special reasons that people can take advantage of others and are happy to do so.

If the registration process weren't so strict, some people would try to take advantage and get vaccinated twice.

While vaccinations were in full swing in the city, those who went out to search for smallpox patients finally had a lead.

This is much farther than going to find a cowpox shed; the round trip alone takes almost ten days.

They were originally a family, but unfortunately, one of them, an old man and a young child, fell seriously ill and did not make it through.

They brought back even the corpses, and promised to give the others one hundred taels of silver if they survived.

The family was both regretful for not realizing these men were soldiers and hopeful that they would receive the money.

There were no major incidents on the road. A small blue cloth cart quietly entered the city under the cover of night and was immediately sealed off at the designated courtyard.

At this time, vaccination was basically completed in the city, and even the army from the capital had been vaccinated.

Xiao Yuan persuaded his wife to seize the opportunity to continue promoting smallpox vaccination, and he sent someone to deliver the finished vaccine and its production method to the capital at full speed.

Seeing that the Quanrong had not launched a major attack these days, Jiang Xinyu also felt that Xiao Yuan's words made sense.

With Beibei and General Xu around, there shouldn't be any major trouble. She can take this opportunity to do something more meaningful.

Bao Beibei also tried to persuade her.

Xiao Yuan's reputation was bad in the past and it's still not good now, so this is a good opportunity to win back public support.

In ancient times, reputation was still a very useful thing.

If someone's achievements overshadow their master's, they can still be purged because their achievements weren't significant enough.

When a person truly benefits all living beings and 80% of the country's population, the emperor will not easily touch him.

Not only would the losses outweigh the gains, but there was also the fear of being condemned for generations to come.

Xiao Yuan didn't care much about his reputation, but Jiang Xinyu did.

She felt this was the best opportunity to find a get-out-of-jail-free card for Xiao Yuan and immediately responded.

Don't be fooled by Jin Zeyu's intelligence and closeness to them now; it's hard to guarantee that he'll stay true to his original aspirations when he grows up.

People change. The old emperor who ascended the throne as a young man and worked diligently could be considered a wise ruler.

However, as they grew older, they became increasingly power-hungry, eventually turning into tyrannical and unscrupulous individuals.

Even the crown prince, whom they once cherished and pampered, was cruelly imprisoned in the end, showing no regard for their father-son relationship.

Jiang Xinyu couldn't really expect an ancient emperor's sincerity to last long.

Besides, her husband wasn't exactly a good person in the past; there were plenty of flaws in his past.

Many people would probably applaud if the emperor decided to settle scores with him.

But if it's thanks to smallpox vaccination, then it's a different story; the benefits are immediate and lasting.

It is likely that many ordinary people will spontaneously worship him as the god of smallpox.

With such strong popular support, even if the young emperor has any ideas in the future, he will have to think twice.

Jiang Xinyu immediately put the war behind her and only wanted to find a protective charm for Xiao Yuan.

Without much persuasion, they pulled him on a smallpox vaccination journey that stretched from the border into the interior.

They kept it a little secret when they were inoculating the city of Linguan, but when they arrived at the next city, they directly said that they had found a miracle cure to prevent smallpox.

Jiang Xinyu understands marketing.

Upon arriving in a city, instead of immediately posting notices to encourage the people to get vaccinated voluntarily, they first gathered all the doctors together to teach the techniques.

Then, officials and wealthy merchants were gathered together to see the effects and were collectively vaccinated. Only after these people had finished getting smallpox did their families begin to be vaccinated.

At that time, the general public felt that good things wouldn't happen to them.

Jiang Xinyu's act of pushing people down from the upper floors creates the impression that vaccines are extremely rare.

Furthermore, the deliberate spread of rumors and incitement of emotions made the people restless.

Since it's something the imperial court is giving away for free, we can't just let the rich take advantage of it. Why shouldn't they get it too?

There's a reason why the tactic of scarcity marketing has been used for so long and is no longer effective.

After everyone's emotions have fermented for three to five days, it will be time for Xiao Yuan to step forward.

The Marquis of Zhenguo assured everyone that he had already taught the doctors in the city how to administer the vaccine, and that he could not give everyone the vaccination for free.

The list was then published, specifying which doctor was responsible for which township and village.

Then, the township head and village head will work together to supervise each person to ensure that no one takes advantage of the system.

People often do things they don't realize, even without thinking.

The more you guard against him and fear that he might take advantage of you, the more those people believe it's a good thing, and the more actively they cooperate.

By taking advantage of people's desire to get a good deal, the group made it increasingly easier to promote the vaccine.

Unbeknownst to them, they had already been away from the border for two months, and were even going further and further away.

Xiao Yuan intentionally kept Jiang Xinyu from all outside information, so she knew nothing.

They were happily busy every day making vaccines, conducting research, administering them, and checking maps, completely unaware that the Quanrong had become a living hell.

Bao Beibei's ruthlessness has always surpassed Jiang Xinyu's. Even though Jiang Xinyu was in logistics back then, it didn't mean her supernatural destructive power was weak.

Rather, she often couldn't be as inhumane as Bao Beibei.

It was also her best friend's deliberate protection that indirectly deprived her of the opportunity to transform.

It's not like we lack combat power. As long as Little Raindrops doesn't show mercy or have a saintly heart towards the enemy, that's enough.

There's no need to add another freak to the team.

As for the differences...

If they were hiding in one place and another team wanted to come in, Jiang Xinyu would never agree to it for the safety of her teammates.

If they try to force their way in, she will treat them like zombies and slaughter them without mercy.

But if there was already a woman with a child in this place, Jiang Xinyu would probably test the waters first.

If the other party is gentle enough and has no hostility, she will most likely be wary and keep her distance.

But Bao Beibei and the others are different.

Since they intend to hide here, they will never allow any creature other than their team members to survive.

Even a two- or three-year-old child would readily deliver the final blow.

So what if it's a child?

Children can also turn into zombies.

Children's crying and noise can attract zombies or expose them.

Children can also do bad things if intentionally guided by others.

In the face of the apocalypse, survival is paramount, and all dangers should be nipped in the bud.

They might still have some humanity in the first year after the apocalypse, but it has long been worn away over time.

Once a person's style of doing things is formed, it is difficult to change. Jiang Xinyu would not advise Bao Beibei and the others to be lenient when possible.

They would also deliberately avoid letting Jiang Xinyu come into contact with these things.

It's a tacit understanding, I suppose.

For example, this time, Bao Beibei deliberately sent Jiang Xinyu away, and a plague war directly destroyed the Quanrong Kingdom.

The two sisters, one saving lives and the other immersing themselves in a city-wide massacre.

Under the same sky, it seemed as if two worlds had been formed.
