The wind stopped and the rain stopped. The whole city was devastated, collapsed houses, garbage on the streets, and dead rats everywhere.

There was no smile on the faces of the common people. They were already poor enough, but it was raining all night long. The heavy rain fell for a whole day and washed away all their few things. It would be nice to laugh, not cry to death...

When many ordinary people think of that rumor, they feel even more distressed. Will there be even more terrible disasters waiting for them?

The soldiers of the Immortal Legion took action as soon as the heavy rain stopped, cleared the silt, cleaned up, and sprinkled the amount of quicklime on all streets.

"What are you doing? I don't allow you to do this." The man stopped the soldiers from sprinkling lime.

"We are disinfecting, please don't disturb us." The soldiers were very polite. Before they came out, they had received orders. No matter under any circumstances, they could not argue with the people, and even more so, they could not use a knife.

"What's disinfecting? I think you are cursing us. Only dead people have white. They make the whole city white. Isn't this cursing us to die?"

"This fellow villager is not what you think. This is quicklime, which can be disinfected."

"Get out, I don't believe your nonsense. In short, they just can't do it if they want to make Jincheng white."

"That's right, these Mandala people must be unhappy."

"Mandala people, get out of the Chi River!"

At the same time, almost the same situation was encountered on the other side. These were not sprinkling lime, but distributing medicine. As soon as the rain stopped, Hu You sent a large number of people to put out the cooked medicine soup. He wanted to advance as much as possible to the people's anti-toxic ability before the outbreak of the epidemic.

"We are not sick, so why should we take medicine?"

"That's right, I think they are uneasy. These hateful Mandala people. I said, how could they have such a kind heart to open a porridge factory? They must have had a conspiracy."

"Fight, hit them."

"The Mandala people get out of Jincheng, get out of Chihe Empire, and return my rivers and mountains!"

In various places in Jincheng, a large number of people used various reasons and various excuses to prevent the Immortal Legion from acting. Whether it was dispensing medicine, sprinkling lime, or even cleaning the streets, they were charged with other intentions. A large number of ordinary people who did not understand the truth were also incited to stop the soldiers' actions and even besiege the soldiers.

Before all the soldiers came out, they received orders from their superiors and they must not fight with the people. The soldiers did it. But the people were too much. They did it, and they did it without any seriousness. Some soldiers were even beaten to death by them.

************************************************

"Bang!" Ouyang Shuixian punched the table hard.

"It's too much. We helped them like this. They actually killed our soldiers. I'm going to kill them!"

Ouyang Shuixian had three subordinates beaten to death by the common people, which was so angry. It was the duty of soldiers to die on the battlefield. But what was it that the common people were beaten to death? Ouyang Shuixian couldn't swallow this breath.

"Rou'er, stop!" Hu You stopped Ouyang Shuixian and said, "This is obviously the reason behind Tianchi Palace. If you go to revenge on the people now, wouldn't that make Tianchi Palace succeed in the trick?"

"So what? These fools let them die. We disinfect and deliver medicine. Not only did they not appreciate it, they killed and injured our soldiers. How do you tell me to explain to the soldiers and how do you explain to the soldiers' families?"

Ouyang Shuixian was so excited that she burst into tears. She had never suffered such grievances before when she grew up. She was beaten by others. What is this called?

"Okay, please calm down first and don't do this. Didn't you tell me not to lose to Tianchi Palace? Don't worry about your business, let me deal with it." Hu You felt very uncomfortable at this time. Bai Suxin's approach was so poisonous. She wanted to tie the entire Jincheng people to her chariot.

"Brother Hu You, why don't we just withdraw from Jincheng. If we stay here, our soldiers will also face great danger."

"It is absolutely impossible to withdraw." Hu You shook his head. For a moment, Hu You really had no good idea.

After the heavy rain, it was sunny, and the whole of Jincheng was filled with a strong and pungent stench. As long as people with a little knowledge could predict that a warm epidemic would break out in Jincheng. But the people didn't think so. They didn't realize that the terrible danger was getting closer and closer to them.

Under the protection of more than a hundred soldiers, Hu You came to the streets of Jincheng. After a short while, he knew that this would be absolutely impossible.

"Young Marshal, are you here to check again? You are such a good person and a good official." A man's voice came to Hu You's ears. Due to rumors, the people in Jincheng are now very cold to Hu You. Unexpectedly, someone would publicly say hello to Hu You and say he is good.

"Thank you, uncle." Hu You bowed.

"It should be that I thank you. We will remember what you did for Jincheng. Oh, Young Master, you are busy, I still have some things to deal with." The man said and shook his head and left. He also heard the rumors about bad things about Hu You. But he would not believe those things, and only those brainless people would believe them.

"So someone understands me." Hu Youting sighed comfortably.

"There is a way, Wang Yiyou, you go and take someone to control the East District. Sprinkle all the lime there. Let the people in the East District keep everything they want to keep, and let them drink medicine. If they don't drink it, drive them away!"

"What about you who don't drink medicine and don't want to leave?" Wang Yiyou asked.

Hu You gritted his teeth and said, "Then let them die!"

***************************************************

Hu You seized the East District and killed people, and went viral in Jincheng. Many people were scolding Hu You, but this time, Hu You ignored the scolding. He sent a large number of people to promote that Jincheng would soon have a terrible epidemic that would break out, and only Dongcheng could prevent it. Let the people go to Dongcheng to take refuge.

After all, Hu You still has a certain popularity in Jincheng. Some people believe Hu You's words, but when they come to the East District, some people don't believe it. They are obviously in the East District but they have to leave. Hu You's order is to leave and let them go. Those who want to come must obey all arrangements, otherwise they will be driven away.

There is no way to do this, after all, this is not the Mandala Empire. Hu You does not have such a high prestige here, and he cannot make every common person believe his words, and he can only save those who believe in him.

Jincheng is the largest city in the Chihe Empire, with a total population of more than one million. Due to the war, many ordinary people have reached about 500,000. After three days of hard work, about 50,000 people have lived in the East District. These are all things that are barely believed in Hu You, and the remaining more than 400,000. Some do not believe in Hu You, some do not like Hu You, and some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not believe in it, some do not have the intention to come to the East District.

Life is his own. Everyone must be responsible for their own choices. At the beginning, Hu You was already prepared for this result. Apart from pitying those people's ignorance, Hu You didn't feel much sad.

On the third day after the heavy rain, Hu You had already received information about someone in the city getting sick. Hu You knew that a terrible disaster was coming soon.

"Isolate the entire East District, and all people in the East District are allowed to leave and not enter."

Hu You finally issued an isolation order. He hoped that more people would come in, but those people obviously made the wrong choice. Now that they were thinking about entering, it was impossible to let them in again.

On the third day, only a small number of people became ill, but on the fifth day, the number of people who got sick increased a lot, and on the seventh day, a large number of people began to die. In the entire Jincheng, people were dying everywhere except the East District.

Now the people finally understand who is right. They found that the East District is the safe place. They wanted to come in, but it was too late.

"Everyone retreated immediately, otherwise we will use force." At the entrance of the East District, a captain of the Immortal Legion loudly warned the people in the distance.

Now that I want to come in, what have I done long ago?

Under the shadow of death and the driving force of survival, the common people ignored the shining arrows of the cold. In their opinion, they could survive by rushing into the East District.

Yes, the East District can keep them alive, but unfortunately they have missed the opportunity.

"Shoot the arrow!"

*********************************************

"How is the situation?" Hu You asked, rubbing his red eyes. He could understand the feelings of the people who wanted to come in, but he could not joke about the lives of the 50,000 people in the East District and the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers. If they were asked to bring the virus in, the East District would be over.

"After shooting more than 2,000 people, they all retreated. But they may come, and the number will be even greater." Wang Yiyou said with a worried look on his face.

Hu You was silent for a moment and said, "You can't let them come again. You can send me orders and put the cannon on me. If you see a figure, you can fire me."

"Young Marshal, isn't this too much hatred?" Wang Yiyou hesitated. Using cannons to bombard ordinary people will probably have a great impact on Hu You's reputation.

"Only if they are afraid, they dare not come back and go. I will be responsible for all the consequences." Although I know that my decision is right, it is still painful for Hu You to issue such an order.

The people outside wanted to take refuge in the East District, but they didn't know that the East District was not so peaceful.

Compared with the large-scale outbreaks in other areas, although this situation has not occurred in the East District, there are still people who are sick. After all, no matter how well prepared it is, the conditions here are still too poor. It is absolutely impossible to have no problems with 200,000 people.

"More than a hundred soldiers fell yesterday," Ouyang Shuixian said with a sad face.

"Yeah." Hu You nodded and said that he already knew. Most of the fallen soldiers went out to promote the people to come to the East District before.

"Brother Hu You, it's probably not possible to continue like this. There are so many people who have died outside. Even if there is no problem in the East District for the time being, it will not last long. We must find a way, otherwise all sacrifices will be in vain."

"What should we do according to your opinion?" Hu You knew that this would not work. He has been thinking about this issue these days, but now he has not thought of a better idea.

"It must be leaving." Ouyang Shuixian said without hesitation: "Only by staying away from this place can we escape this disaster."

Of course, leaving is the only way, Hu You had known this for a long time. But the question is where they are going. In order to help the people of Jincheng, they have missed the best time to leave. Now they have no place to go.

Ouyang Shuixian said: "I thought of a place."

Ouyang Shuixian knew what Hu You was thinking.

"where?"

"Huangcheng." Ouyang Shuixian replied.

"Huangcheng?" Hu You was stunned. He had never thought about this place.

Huangcheng is also a city, but it is an abandoned town.

Huangcheng was once a town in the Bauhinia Dynasty. Eighty years ago, a major earthquake occurred there, and the entire town turned into ruins overnight. Because the cost of reconstruction was greater than that of a new city, Huangcheng was abandoned, and the new town was built twenty miles away, which is now Jincheng.

"Although most of Huangcheng has been destroyed, the water source there is complete, and there is still no problem with temporary residence." Ouyang Shuixian said her reason.

Hu You nodded and said, "And if we don't have ordinary people, we won't bring the virus over even if we go there. Well, it's Huangcheng. Rou'er, you take 10,000 people to go there first and sort out the places where you can live as much as possible. In addition, strengthen your combat readiness and you must not be able to get close to you."

Do it as soon as you say it. Since you have made a decision, you must seize the time and ask for bigger problems if you continue.

After Ouyang Shuixian left, Hu You immediately found Wang Yiyou and other generals. There are so many people in the East District now, and they are definitely not allowed to leave just by saying that they can leave. To evacuate them, a lot of preparations will be required.

"Huangcheng, Young Marshal, can people live there? I heard that there was that kind of thing at that time..."

The legend of ghosts in Huangcheng has always been circulated in the Chihe Empire. Many people have heard of it. It is no secret.

Hu You waved his hand and said, "Even if there is a ghost, it is not as terrible as the warm epidemic in front of you. Ouyang Narcissus will arrive in advance, everyone will prepare."

Hu You grew up in the world since he was a child, so he would not be afraid of those things. (To be continued...)
