Chapter 128 Someone is calling for help
Yu Wanwan was in the backyard with the housekeepers checking the sprouting of the sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Suddenly, soldiers came running over in a hurry.
With no fighting these past few days, the people's basic needs for food and clothing have been temporarily met.
Pei Yi then followed Yu Wanwan.
They were discussing future planting matters with the housekeeper on one side.
As soon as the soldier entered, he shouted, "General, General, something terrible has happened! A large number of people have come to the south gate. They are carrying things and banging on the gate, shouting that they want to enter the city."
Yu Wanwan stopped.
South Gate?
Those must be the people of this country.
Why would the people of their own country smash their city gates?
"Madam, I'll go with them to take a look."
After saying that, he prepared to leave.
Yu Wanwan followed without hesitation.
She also wanted to go and see what was going on.
They drove there in an SUV.
Soon they arrived at the south gate of the city wall.
Many soldiers surrounded the city wall.
Although the soldiers were still dirty, each of them had gained weight on their faces.
She has become a completely different person compared to when she first arrived in Luocheng.
As soon as they saw the car, they immediately stood on both sides to make way.
Pei Yi led Yu Wanwan up the stairs to the top of the city wall.
"General, Madam, please look down here."
On the other side of the city gate, tens of thousands of people rushed towards the gate.
Yu Wanwan seemed to see a zombie apocalypse.
It's just like the scene in a zombie apocalypse movie where all the zombies rush towards the only safe city.
It seemed that even this only safe city was about to fall.
"How is this going?"
Pei Yi frowned as he looked at the general guarding the city.
"These people all came from Taiping Town next door. There was a plague in their town, and several hundred people died."
The remaining people were afraid of starving to death if they stayed in the city, and they were also afraid of contracting diseases.
They somehow learned that we had grain in Luocheng, so they all rushed over, hoping we would let them into the city.
"General, look, more and more people are surging in from behind. If we don't stop them soon, our city gate will be breached sooner or later."
But these people might carry the plague; if they were allowed into the city, the people of Luo City would be in danger.
"General, what should we do now?"
If the enemy were below the city gate, they wouldn't have to be so conflicted.
Just find some explosives and throw them down to kill or injure them, or scare them away.
Yu Wanwan frowned: "Their city has also experienced a plague outbreak?"
Perhaps thanks to Pei Yi's good management, the people of Luo City, despite still lacking food, water, and medicine, were able to manage the situation.
Yet no one contracted the plague.
So much so that Yu Wanwan had forgotten that there was a plague in this dynasty.
I heard from the soldiers that hundreds of people had died.
Clearly, the plague in their city was out of control.
The rioting crowd outside the city gates has likely already contracted the disease.
Yu Wanwan took stock of the remaining plague-curing medicine in her space.
We're still a long way off.
Moreover, this is no longer just a matter of plague.
With so many people flocking here, a large amount of food and water is still needed.
We are all citizens of the Great Sheng Kingdom, so we can't just stand by and watch them die, can we?
Pei Yi turned to look at Yu Wanwan: "Madam, how many masks and gloves do you have left?"
Yu Wanwan left some masks and gloves in Beijing.
Because she was worried that the military camp might also be affected by the plague, she left some gloves and masks for Luo Cheng as well.
Upon arriving in Luocheng, they found that there was no outbreak of plague there.
Gloves and masks are not used much.
Yu Wanwan checked the inventory in the space and said, "There are still 500,000 masks and 200,000 pairs of disposable gloves."
"Are there any medicines left in the capital to treat the plague?"
"There are still dozens of boxes left."
"Is there any food left?"
"There's still some left. I can take out everything. The general can arrange it as he sees fit."
"Madam Xie, then please trouble you to take all the things out and put them in that house."
Pei Yi pointed to the house closest to the city gate.
That house had long been used by the military.
Soldiers were also going in and out of the main gate.
Yu Wanwan nodded.
"Okay, I'll go down and put the things away right away."
After Yu Wanwan came downstairs.
Pei Yi's voice came from behind.
"Everyone, please quiet down. I am Pei Yi, the general who guards Luo City."
I have heard about your situation. Don't worry, I will not abandon you.
"However, in order to prevent the people in the city from contracting the plague and wasting the medicine that could have been allocated to you, this general cannot allow you to enter the city."
In a moment, I will have someone place the masks outside the city gates. Please distribute them.
You should wear masks in this way. Those who are not infected can protect themselves from spreading the plague, while those who are already infected can also try to avoid infecting others and adding more patients who are competing with you for medicine.
After you have all put on your masks, please return to Taiping Town via the same route and go back to your respective homes.
Once you get home, close the door and don't wander around visiting other people's homes.
This general will have people drive behind you, delivering medicine, food, and water into your city.
We will also arrange for a doctor to go to Taiping Town to treat you..."
Yu Wanwan had told Pei Yi about the methods used to prevent and control the plague in the capital.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yi memorized it after hearing it only once.
Given the current situation, the most appropriate course of action is to have them return to their homes via the same route, and then arrange for someone to deliver supplies to them.
She hesitated for a moment, then turned back.
“I can go along to deliver supplies, so that there will be room in the vehicle to carry more people.”
That way, she wouldn't need to go down and release the items.
There's no need for all this unnecessary trouble.
Unexpectedly, Pei Yi rejected her.
"No, the plague in Taiping Town is out of control and too dangerous. You can't go there."
"You just need to release the items, and I'll arrange for someone to transport them over in a truck later."
Pei Yi rarely spoke to her in such an authoritative tone.
Yu Wanwan knew that Pei Yi had made his decision and she couldn't change it, so she didn't say anything more.
She continued walking down to the city gate to put her things down.
On the other side of the city gate, the people of Taiping Town spread Pei Yi's words far and wide.
"Really? The General really agreed to save us?"
"That's great, the general didn't abandon us to our deaths."
"Yes, we should hurry home after we get the masks. We can't go into the city and spread the disease to the people there, otherwise the general won't have enough medicine to save us."
"We must wear our masks properly later. Even if we are already infected, we must wear our masks so that more people can get infected and compete with us for medicine."
Yu Wanwan came up after putting away the supplies.
Seeing the people outside the city queuing up obediently to receive and wear masks, he obediently turned around and went back to Taiping Town.
She gave Pei Yi a thumbs up.
That's a brilliant move.
Now they are even more worried than the people of Luocheng about spreading the disease into the city.
But with so many people, there are bound to be one or two lunatics.
