A plague that can turn humans into zombies?
Just as he started to read the nameless diary, Gu Jun's head twitched. "There are zombies in the foreign world as well? And there's been a plague before? "
Zombie, naturally, was a translated word, but Gu Jun could understand it. In the foreign language, 'zombie' was made up of two parts, 'zombie' and 'monster'.
The term 'zombie' also had the meaning of 'necrophilia' and 'corpse hider'.
In the foreign language, there were many words that could describe 'monster', and they could describe different characteristics of monsters. The term used by zombies included 'long claws and sharp jaws', and it could be used to describe beasts. However, the term used to describe the Necro-skins had the meaning of 'terrifying creature'.
Long claws and sharp jaws, Gu Jun recalled the zombie that he had just dissected. "This seems to be referring to the same species."
Sometimes, language could convey more information than the original. Obviously, in the eyes of the foreign people, zombies were not as scary as the Necro-skins.
At least at the time the diary was written, zombies were on par with ferocious beasts.
Was it because of this that there were two watchmen taking turns to watch over an infected house? Were there any infected patients in the house?
These thoughts flashed across Gu Jun's mind. Then he thought, 'When did this zombie plague happen? Before the hemoptysis, at the same time, or after? ' The diary did not specify the date, and even if it did, Gu Jun would not have been able to tell.
Furthermore, the paper looked old and yellowed, similar to the papers from Lenton and Payani.
"I guess I'll have to wait and see." Gu Jun continued to read with these questions in his mind.
"The plague spread from Laken City, and there were some very scary rumors about it.
Three months ago, the first infected patient was identified, and it was confirmed that he was a zombie.
Two weeks later, more than five thousand people in Laken City were infected. Rumor has it that a large grave was dug outside the city. It was so deep that it was dug until the underground water seeped out. The bodies of the patients were thrown into the grave and buried.
When they dug the first grave, they thought it would be enough to support the plague, but less than a month later, there were several similar graves outside Laqen City.
Everyone who came from Laken City had to go through a strict inspection before they could pass. When I was at the tavern in Old Wellin, I heard from a gravedigger named Laken that not all corpses were thrown in. Some infected people had yet to completely turn into monsters and still retained some of their human consciousness, so they were thrown in as well.
The gravediggers said that before they were thrown into the pit, some people wailed, some cursed, and some seemed to have gone mad. They did not need to be pushed. They shouted in a strange language and jumped into the pile of corpses at the bottom of the pit. Before the soil fell, they were already dead.
Just listening to this description, we felt terrified. Was there no other way?
"To control the epidemic, you understand," the gravedigger told us. "It's a group of Doctors Carlop who carry out these tasks."
The fact that Doctor Carlop would carry out such a treatment was another terrifying situation.
However, many people in the tavern said that it was fake news and that the gravedigger must have been talking nonsense after drinking. Because some people could not stand the gravedigger's slandering of Doctor Carlop, they got into a fight with the gravedigger. The sheriff came and arrested both of them.
At the time, no one thought much of it and just listened to the drama. Our town of Warsong is quite a distance from Larken, and this remoteness, to a certain extent, protects the town from the invasion of the outside world. Good or bad, nothing will come to us.
In Warsong, there was no Doctor Carlop, and there was no plague. There was only a bunch of country bumpkins.
Half a month ago, that was what we thought. However, half a month later, at night, I was in charge of guarding Mr. Child's house.
The plague came suddenly, but just like the rumors said at the beginning of the outbreak in Laken City, there was a mass delirium that night half a month ago. Many people in the town had the same nightmare. When they woke up, they started to show symptoms. "
"Nightmare …" Gu Jun's brows were deeply creased. It was another disease that originated from nightmares.
Another disease that would rapidly transform a person's body into another state, and there was the shadow of a zombie behind it …
"The transformation from human to zombie is very fast. The body is changing at every moment. According to reports, the transformation will be complete in half a month's time. Our town has been plagued by the plague for half a month already, but I have no idea what is happening inside the house that I am guarding.
After the patients are diagnosed, they are locked inside their own houses. We send them food every day, and no one is allowed to enter or leave the house.
We do not gather the patients together because the quarantine guide given by Carlop said that it would only speed up their illness. They are mentally ill, and it causes changes to their bodies. Gathering them together is the same as gathering their minds together, and that will only lead to more serious consequences.
Actually, the mayor has already led a group of people to start digging graves outside the town. Everyone is prepared for the worst. "
After reading the first entry, Gu Jun felt chills run down his spine. They were both Nightmare Illness, so the transmission mechanism of the two should be similar or even the same.
Currently, Phecda had isolated the patients of Nightmare Illness together to make it easier to manage and treat them, but based on what was written in the diary …
No wonder the epidemic continued to spread even though the old patients had been kept under control.
"We need to have Phecda separate the patients as soon as possible." Gu Jun was panicking. This was not just for the sake of each patient, he could not allow the 'more serious consequences' to appear in this world.
But was the situation in the foreign world confirmed to be like this? He needed to finish reading this diary first before deciding whether to call Commander Yao or not.
Gu Jun's reading speed increased, but he did not miss out on any detail. He was analyzing the situation in his heart.
He had a feeling that this plague happened before the hemoptysis, or else the people at Warsong would not have viewed the plague and Doctor Carlop in such a way. Even though the plague was spreading, they still had hope. They hoped that Doctor Carlop would help them.
Therefore, even with the shadow of death looming over them, there was not a hint of despair in the words of this diary.
This watchman had been responsible for watching over Mr. Child's house. Mr. Child was a young tycoon in the town. He once had the chance to study at Carlott College, but Mr. Child did not go. No one knew why, but they said that he was not ambitious enough and that he only wanted to live with the wealth that had been passed down from his ancestors.
Inside the spacious mansion, all the servants had left. Mr. Chandler was the only person left inside the mansion.
The tragedy happened that night.
