Star of Civilization

  The old man who was half lying opposite him opened his eyes wide, staring straight at him, lowered his voice, and placed a finger on his lips to signal him to silence.

  The old man is the mayor of this town.

  A few years ago, the "strange illness" of some people in the town got worse, and nameless clouds soon shrouded this remote town.

  This disease looks like an infectious disease or a bad cold. Some people are caused by a virus brought by an animal.

  People who are ill will suddenly fall into a state of madness or delirium. Some people have a high fever, some people have skin ulcers, some people have metabolic disorders and eat food frantically, and some people claim that there are voices in their brains...

  In short, every Rao’s reaction is almost different. People who get sick have good health from time to time, and even some people have a high fever. Then a miracle happened, and they were able to go to work again!

  This disease was given over almost a few months ago, but at that time, people in the town thought it was a cold caused by the cold, so few people took it seriously.

  Until one, someone died suddenly because of the disease, and the patients appeared one after another, more and more, this attracted enough attention.

  The townspeople were very scared and sent people overnight to find a doctor in Cannery City, more than 300 kilometers away.

  But what disappointed them was that in the towns and villages near Cannery City, they also found many dead bodies that fell to the ground. Only then did they know that the situation there seemed to be worse than in the town.

  When they finally reached the Cannery City, they searched for doctors in the underground city, but found that the situation in the underground town seemed to be much better than on the ground. Although there are also people who are infected with the virus, they are all acquired from outsiders. Few people in this area suffer from this disease.

  They listened to the doctor, this disease does not look like contagious, it is very different from infectious diseases such as plague and flowers.

  This disease is an extremely complicated process.

  Under the interaction between the cause of the disease and the body's response function, various changes will occur in the morphological structure and metabolic function of the relevant part of the diseased body. This is an important basis for research and understanding of this disease.

Moreover, with the current conditions and time, it is impossible to use various methods to study the causes of diseases, and to study the occurrence and development of diseases under the effect of the causes, and the changes in the body's function, metabolism and morphology during the course of the disease. Its essence.

  The doctor also told them that through current observations, the patient’s family members and close contacts had almost no people who were sick.

  It can only be concluded preliminarily that this disease seems to be related to each immune function and resistance.

  So, so far, the cause of this "strange disease" is completely unclear. It is a disease that is difficult to recognize and grasp, and there is no cure at all.

  But the person who was sent begged the doctor for help, hoping to ask him to visit their town and find a solution.

  But unexpectedly, the doctor shook his head repeatedly.

  Don't be him and his clinic. After the occurrence of this disease, all doctors in the entire Cannery City were strictly guarded by the cluster of guards, and they would be controlled according to several connections.

  The townsfolk knew that the doctor was not lying, because they also saw that roadblocks were set up at every intersection, and the number of guards had obviously started to increase.

  At this time, an order came from the above to treat the local patients first, so there was no manpower available.

  Furthermore, the other party is obviously confused about this disease. No one knows the cause of the disease, its mechanism, the law of development, and the course of the disease. Even if the doctor is invited back, it does not make much sense.

  In this way, the townspeople had to bring some medicine back. Although everyone was depressed, they had to be dead horse doctors, and they had to think of other ways to treat them.

  The people in the town gathered the patients together, took turns to take care of them, and even invited witch doctors to exorcise evil spirits.

  The reason is that there are rumors that catastrophes are about to happen on the earth. This is because people have lost their faith and cast aside certain gods. Getting sick is the consequence of being cursed by the gods.

  These gods will punish people on the ground, curse them, turn sick people into demon spirits and monsters, and even send beasts to eat everyone.

  As a result, some of the townspeople had an idea, and they did not know where to invite some black-robed witch doctors. After a few rituals, there were people who had recovered from the disease and escaped from the disease.

  The good news spread quickly, and everyone was shocked, thinking that this was a curse. After praying and practicing sincerely, the gods removed the curse, and they will be cared for in the future.

  However, people are not as good as counting. The townspeople thought that they would survive the disaster if they took good care of the patients, but they never expected that just a few years ago, the number of people sickened more and the mortality rate suddenly became extremely high.

   What’s even more terrifying is that someone really saw a huge monster on the seaside of the gusty wind.

  Rumors and suspicions suddenly spread and spread wildly.

  Everyone fell into a state of panic, and their hearts became extremely scared.

  A terrifying roar came from the distance, and the earth seemed to tremble in the depths. Plus a few years ago, the sunlight completely disappeared, and a huge moon appeared in the sky, and the moon became bigger and bigger, and it didn't even fall for dozens of hours.

  Everything indicates the imminent disaster of the witch doctors.

  In order to eliminate the fear of the living people, everyone began to believe in the doomsday and curse, and they had to agree to immediately start processing their relatives' corpses.

  They burned the dead body in tears and panic, praying for the living to survive the terrible disaster.

  In order to avoid the unknown curses and monsters, these people are the only survivors in the town.

   Soon, a huge shadow struck young Rao’s cheeks.

   Through the window, he saw that the opposite house was shaking, and half of the wall flew into the air silently, but it had not fallen for a long time.

  There seems to be an invisible big hand clutching something.

   "Mine! There is really something terrifying outside!" The young man muttered, swallowing and foaming.

  He looked at the old man, then retracted back to the corner where he had been.

  The floor in the house was damp and cold, rain water leaked in from the roof, but several people were lying on the ground. They were willing to endure the torment of the wet and cold floor, but they did not want to stand up.

  There are various packages and utensils scattered on the ground, which contain almost moldy bread, nearly rotten fruits, vegetables and various foods.

  It seems that they have obviously not left the room for a long time.

  Among these people, there are men and women. They are all wrapped in torn clothes and rags for heating, and cotton wool can even be seen in the torn bedding. Everyone is dressed as an escape from famine.

  But who would have thought that this is their former home, and they are the residents of this town?

  The screams of the thugs before they died still echoed in the ears of the survivors.

  At this moment, they didn't even dare to make a sound of the atmosphere, all the eyes were staring at the window, their ears carefully pricked up, listening to the movement outside the house.

  "Tick, tick..."

  The leaking of the roof never stopped, and the accumulated water on the floor quickly gathered into a large beach, flowing along the root of the wall to the crack of the door.

  Just like when the huge shadow came, there was no sound when it left, just like invisible gas, it disappeared out of thin air.

  No one knew what it was, everyone was frightened, only thinking it was a terrifying demon in their hearts.

   "It, has it gone?" asked another thin young man, stretching his neck and looking out the window.

   "Huh? That was..." He seemed to see a few red dots floating in the air, and he was suddenly startled.

   "I don't know, it's better to wait."

  The thin young man began to mutter to himself, and quickly turned his head and asked the person next to him, "Hey! What was that just now, did you see it?"

  The thin young man was almost lying on the floor, pointed his finger, and looked into the distance.

   "What did you see?"

   "Light spot? Red, I don't know what it is..."

"light spot?"

   "Uh, yeah, but maybe I read it wrong."

   "Why are you, do you have anything on it?"

   "I didn't see that thing clearly... It seems that a few red spots of light flew past, flashing." The thin young man stammered with a look of horror.

   "Well, I seem to hear it. It's a buzzing sound. My ears work well. Maybe... it's something like a flying machine. Didn't you hear that sound just now?"

  A man with a torn steel helmet took a long breath, lowered his voice, and cautiously said to the other people.

  "Aircraft?" The old man suddenly showed a puzzled look.

  This chicken does not lay eggs, birds do not shit, and what kind of flying machine is there in the poor country?

   "Hmm...water...water..."

  At this moment, there was a moan in the corner behind everyone.

  There was still a person lying there.

   is a woman, she is 40 or 50 years old, her face is haggard, her upper body is wrapped in a yellow bandage, and blood is leaking from the bandage.

  There were some shocked blisters on her arms, her veins protruding from the skin, and her chapped lips were making noises.

   "Wife, wife, are you finally awake?" The old man hurriedly crawled to the corner with a strange surprise on his face.

  His wife’s only patient is left. During this period of time, the strange disease has aggravated, the fever has not gone away, the body has been abnormal, and he has been in a coma.

  Although everyone thought it was inappropriate to take her with her, she was allowed to stay and take care of her because she was the wife of the mayor and the stationmaster was very persistent.

  Unexpectedly, she actually woke up at this critical moment.

   "Feed her some water, don't let her make a noise!" a middle-aged man hurriedly said to the old man.

  The other person took out a kettle from the cabinet ~www.ltnovel.com~ and handed it to the old man.

"Okay thank you."

  The old man was so heartbroken that he quickly dipped the towel in zero water, twisted it with his hand, and slowly dripped it to the lips of the woman.

  Perhaps the movement was a little bit too big, a stream of water actually flowed into her nostrils and was sucked in by the woman's rapid breathing.

   "Cough cough—" The water apparently choked in the trachea, and she coughed suddenly.

  The coughing startled the old man. He hurriedly reached out his hand to cover her mouth, and when he stretched it back, he saw that his hand was covered with blood.

   "She will kill us!"

   "Old! It's a curse! Look, she is coughing up blood too, she, she will become like that!" The thin young man covered his mouth, stretched out his fingers, and pointed at the woman in horror.

   "It's a demon spirit! She will also become a terrifying demon spirit!" Someone shuddered, shrinking back as much as possible, and the tone was full of fear.

  Everyone was completely pale, and fled the woman like a frightened bird and beast, for fear of being infected by an inexplicable curse.

   "Don't! Don't make any noise!" The old man panicked at once, stretched out his arm and waved at everyone, but he also started to panic and then backed away.

  At this moment, the young man sitting by the window looked sideways at the window as he stepped back, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.
