Corpse! Corpse! In everyone's vision, there were all dead bodies, including strong men, slim women, and many elderly people and children. Unfortunately, all of them were dead, and they were found in Lu Wan and the others.

Outside this big city, there are stinking corpses within a few miles. Countless vultures and wild dogs are passing through the corpses, enjoying this rare feast of flesh and blood.

"Haha~" Lu Wan took the crew members to see the scene in front of him. Several young people couldn't stand it on the spot and lie on the side of the road and vomited. For the crew members, the bodies were nothing scary at all, and most of them even came to most of them.

Everyone has killed people with their own hands, but now they have seen so many corpses at once, densely packed together, which is no different from the legendary hell.

"How could this happen?" Even Lu Wan was very knowledgeable and was shocked. The dead bodies in front of him could not see at all, and looking at their appearance, it seemed that they wanted to enter a city not far away during their lifetime.

But because there are too many people, even the road is blocked.

But what Lu Wan and the others couldn't understand was why these people rushed to the city before their lives? Why did they die on the road? And so many people died together, it's simply unimaginable that these people were

If those who die at the same time are not at the same time, will the living person not escape?

With these questions, Lu Wan sent the doctor from the fleet to come forward and checked the cause of the deaths of these people. As a result, the doctor who sent it quickly escaped and said to Lu Wan with a look of horror: "Captain,

All of these people died of illness, and it seems that they should have died of smallpox!"

The doctor in Lu Wan's fleet was named Xu Fang. He was originally a scholar, but because he felt that there was no hope of taking the imperial examination, he entered the Tang Medical College and later came to Taiwan. He then went to Taiwan Medical College to study. His medical skills were very exquisite, so he was

Lu Wan hired as a fleet doctor with a high salary.

"Smallopsis!" Hearing this name, the crew behind Lu Wan almost turned around and ran away. This is a plague, and as long as you get infected, it will be almost dead for a lifetime. Few people can survive under the smallpox. No wonder the doctors in the fleet are scared.

Escaped back.

But Lu Wan was very calm. He thought for a while and said, "So that's it. I remembered that His Highness the King of Wu told me that because of our arrival, we have been in the natives of Australia and America.

Plagues such as smallpox broke out. These natives encountered this fierce epidemic for the first time, so the mortality rate was extremely high. Unexpectedly, we encountered it. And looking at the appearance in front of us, the number of deaths is probably more than the rumors!

”

As soon as Lu Wan finished speaking, Xu Fang, a doctor who was frightened to the point of being dissatisfied, suddenly slapped his head and said in surprise: "Haha. Seeing so many dead people, I suddenly forgot about the outbreak of smallpox in Australia and the Americas.

I have also heard from some colleagues that I didn’t expect the mortality rate to be much higher than expected.”

Xu Fang said this and suddenly saw that the crew members behind Lu Wan were all looking scared. He waved his hands to everyone and said, "Don't worry, everyone in our fleet has all grown acne. There are also smallpox.

With immunity, you will never get smallpox in your life, so this disease is useless to us!”

Although Xu Fang's medical skills are excellent, he is actually only in his thirties this year. This is the first time he has participated in an ocean voyage. Therefore, in terms of courage, he is even worse than ordinary crew members. So when he saw the dense corpses in front of him, he

I was scared and even forgot about the fact that I was not afraid of smallpox, so I seemed so panicked before.

When Lu Wan heard Xu Fang's words, his eyes lit up. He grabbed the other party's hand anxiously and said, "Doctor Xu, what you said is true? The cowpox we planted before is really effective. Don't you worry about smallpox?

?”

"The captain is relieved. It has been a day or two for smallpox in Australia and America. Many of my medical school students have also specially visited the epidemic area to observe the onset of smallpox in person and also to acne.

The actual effect afterwards was finally discovered with great certainty that as long as the person who successfully consumed acne, even if he ate and lived with smallpox patients, he would never get infected with smallpox!" Xu Fang replied with great certainty, although he was not very brave

, but the medical expertise is very solid.

"Okay! OK! Fortunately, our doctors in the Central Plains have come up with a method to vaccinate acne. Otherwise, we would not be able to escape the infection of smallpox!" Lu Wan patted his chest and said with relief.

So this is because when he was young, he encountered smallpox, and the tragic situation of those who died of illness made him still remember it vividly.

Although he is not afraid of infection, no one will feel comfortable when facing so many corpses piled up together. Therefore, Lu Wan and the others quickly returned to the boat. Doctor Xu Fang also boiled some medicine for everyone to take, although they are not afraid

Smallpox, but if you stay in the rotten corpse for a long time, you may get infected with some disease, so it is better to take some medicine to prevent it.

However, after returning to the ship, several brave crew members suggested that the Mayan temples had a large number of gold utensils. The outside of the city in front of them was surrounded by dead bodies, and smallpox must have erupted in the city. It is very likely that the whole city will be in the city.

All the people died. Since that's the case, they might as well send people into the city and bring out the gold from the temple.

The proposals of these crew members have attracted a debate. A group of crew members who are bold or obsessed with gold have agreed, but another group of crew members led by Xu Fang firmly opposes. These crew members believe that the dead bodies in the city in front of them are dead.

It’s everywhere. Even if they are not worried about getting smallpox, what if they get infected with other plagues? So there is no need to take this risk.

In the end, this incident happened to Lu Wan, which made Lu Wan very embarrassed. He remembered that when he was in Qiaola City, the gold stored in the other party's temple weighed more than one ton. The size of the city in front of him was greater than that of Qiaola.

The city is bigger, and the gold in the temple must be more or less. Moreover, due to the smallpox, even if the people in the city are not dead, they will definitely not be able to transfer the gold, so they can watch so much gold without

It really made Lu Wan a little unwilling to take it out.

Another point is that when passing through the Atlantic Ocean, their fleet had to abandon its fleet's small and medium-sized ships when encountering storms, although these ships were loaded with ordinary cargo, such as cotton cloth, low-end

Porcelain and silk, but if these things were shipped to America, they would definitely be worth tens of thousands of yuan. In addition, the value of the ships themselves, so for the fleet, that storm had already caused heavy losses to the fleet.

It was also considered that Lu Wan finally summoned all members of the fleet to express his opinion. The results showed that the seafarers were indeed the most adventurous guys. In other words, they wanted money but didn't have their lives. In the end, the crew members who agreed to enter the city were absolutely

Win with the advantage. Seeing this situation, conservatives like Xu Fang could only agree helplessly.

Since the decision was made, Lu Wan quickly selected a group of bold crew members from the crew and entered the city with the epidemic prevention drugs prepared by Xu Fang for them. As a result, the people on the ship waited anxiously for a day, and these people finally brought them.

They returned with gold, and at the same time they brought back a surviving Maya.

After these people came back, they immediately took a bath with medicine according to Xu Fang's request, and all their clothes were burned. Then they were immediately isolated. People from the fleet were sent to designated locations for three meals a day. This was mainly concerned about doing so.

They are infected with other plagues, so they need to be isolated and observed for a period of time.

It was during the quarantine that the crew finally understood what was going on in this city and why all Mayans were desperately trying to squeeze into the city.

It turned out that half a year ago, smallpox finally spread from the west coast of America to the Yucatan Peninsula. This is the area with the most concentrated Mayans, so the infection rate of smallpox is extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, smallpox patients appeared around almost all cities.

.

The city in front of Lu Wan and the others is called Karu City, which is the largest city within a radius of 100 miles. Unlike Chora City, this city is completely controlled by the sacrifices of the temple, and the divine power is far higher than anything else.

Just when the sacrificial priests in Karu City learned that there was a smallpox around the city, the sacrificial priests in the temple were not prepared at all. They only realized when countless people died of illness in the surrounding villages. However, the Mayans did not have special doctors, and all diseases were

It is treated by sacrifices in the temple, and the treatment methods are also very primitive, mixed with a large number of witchcraft and sacrificial methods.

For example, the priests in Karu City believe that the cause of smallpox is that the disease is caused by the people who are sick there offended the gods, so they were brought down by the gods as punishment. If the gods want to terminate this punishment, they must

These patients sacrifice to the gods, and all those who participate in this sacrifice will receive the protection of the gods!

In the eyes of outsiders such as Lu Wan, this statement of sacrificial sacrifice in Kalu City is simply bullshit. Moreover, if they do not isolate smallpox patients, they will even transport them to cities with concentrated populations. This is simply a case of smallpox infection.

Too slow, I'll seek death!

Unfortunately, the Mayans around Karu City were very devout to the gods and believed in the words of the priests. So all the villages and villages who were notified rushed to Karu City, which was also the ones around Lu Wan and the others.

The reason why people cannot be found in the village.

All the patients with smallpox that can be found were sent to the temple in the city. On the day of the sacrifice, these patients were cut through blood vessels, and then dried up the blood of their bodies in amid the prayers of the priests.

The Mayans who came also prayed to the gods very devoutly, hoping to get the protection of the gods. Unfortunately, this is a famous saying from later China: Feudal superstition kills people! (To be continued, please search for astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster
