Walking into the upper epidemic area, Chino saw all kinds of patients, some of whom had deformed bones like a walking tumor.

Some of their limbs are not properly proportioned, and their skin is covered with hardened keratin and burrs, and they look like beasts in human form from a distance.

There are also mild lesions, but some parts are distorted, such as flattened palms, longer and sharper nails than ordinary people, and so on.

Chino also noted that there were different trends in bestiality among different patients, ranging from mammals such as wolves, tigers, dogs, and pigs to birds, reptiles, and even fish.

For example, Chino just saw a patient with bulging eyes, fish scales and keratin all over his skin, covered in a layer of mucus, a gurgling sound in his throat, and even a crack in his gill opening.

This makes one wonder if the infected person will not drown if he is thrown into the water.

In addition, there are some traces of destruction of the buildings in the upper epidemic area, such as the huge paw prints on the wall, the low wall that was half broken by the huge force, etc., which should be related to the fact that the infected became irritable on the night of the double moon volley.

On the side of the road, an infected person with a sharply curved spine and almost folded upper and lower body folded kept scratching the skin diseased area, shedding some fluff, he recognized Chino, climbed two steps forward, and smiled dryly: "Appreciate some moon coins, Lord Civil Officer." ”

Paladin kicked him back, holding on to his saber and threatening, "One step closer, I'll let your head fall to the ground!" ”

The infected laughed miserably: "That's good, at least I'm free." ”

Chino ignored the small episode here, continued to make his rounds, and asked silently, "How much does their blood treatment cost?" ”

Without hesitation, Paladin replied, "Purified blood is also divided into qualities." The highest quality blood can degenerate the infected site, so that the patient looks like an ordinary person, I heard that it will be settled in gold month, and the specific price is not clear, I have not seen it. The lowest quality blood can only be used to eliminate infectivity, and if you want to think about it, the course of treatment is once a month, the price is 160 iron month, and this blood is used in the upper epidemic areas of our town. ”

Chino glanced at the infected who were eating and waiting to die, and had nothing to do: "They are locked up here, where does the income come from?" ”

"Some bestial infected people have more strength than ordinary people, and they will be sent to the mining area to mine, and they can earn 5 to 7 iron months a day, and if they are diligent, they can earn more."

"What about the infected, who are incapacitated?"

"If you have a family member, you can pay for it on your behalf."

"I don't have any family, what should I do?"

Paladin was silent for a moment, knocked his forehead, and said in a deep voice, "Then they can only pray to the gods to eradicate the plague of beasts as soon as possible." ”

"The royal family doesn't care if they live or die?"

"The number of infected people is too large, and the war with the Far Eastern Dynasty has also made the royal family unable to take care of every life."

The words "Far Eastern Dynasty" were seen in the history books the night before, but he read the general history, and the introduction was not detailed, only that there had been large-scale battles between Doguland and the Far Eastern Dynasty in history.

Chino continued walking.

Today's weather is not bad, the population density of the upper epidemic area is also very small, many neighborhoods are empty, the long alleys are quiet and silent, the bluestone slabs are high and low, spliced together to lead the road to a new corner, gently step on it, the crisp sound seems to let people hear the time of the years, the occasional breeze blows, quite a kind of comfort like a world away.

At this moment, a fluffy kitten jumped down from the tile wall, stretched, and looked curiously at Chino and Paladin.

Chino crouched down and looked at the kitten from afar: "Will it spread the disease?" ”

Paladin replied, "Listen to the doctors, cats are harmless. These little creatures are very smart, they can sense the breath of the plague, so they never enter the lower plague area. ”

Among so many animals, Chino likes cats the most, this small animal will regularly clean its fur to ensure that its body is clean, even if it is a wild cat, there is no odor, and even the smell of grass.

Dogs are different, they always like to drill into the dirty places, never clean themselves up, and they will stink if they don't bathe for a week.

Not to mention pigs, cows, sheep and whatever.

Chino stretched out his hand to the kitten, smiled and opened his lips, and made a sweet sound: "Meow~"

Paladin listened directly, this must have been too similar.

For processors, onomatopoeia is an essential skill, and mimicking animal sounds comes naturally.

When the kitten heard the sound, it pricked up its ears, thought it had met its own kind, and meowed happily, and it ran to Chino's side, making a purring sound, rubbing its head against its hands, and looking at him curiously, as if to say: How did you become human?

Chino picked it up, rubbed, pushed, scratched, and stroked it with his slender fingers, and came directly to the full set of massages, which looked like an old cat slave.

The kitten purred so loudly, and there was a nice smell on Chino's body, which buried its head in his arms and kept rubbing, like a coquettish lover.

Just as Chino was petting the cat, the kitten suddenly tensed up, as if noticing something, and the cat's pupils looked to the side vigilantly.

"Hah!" The kitten's back hair stood on end, and the milk let out a fierce sigh, and broke free from Chino's arms and fled, nowhere to be found.

Chino glanced at the cat hair on his body, and couldn't help frowning, the only bad thing about petting cats is that the hair on it is difficult to clean up.

Paladin looked in the direction of the kitten, held the saber, and said, "Don't come any closer." ”

What scared the kitten away were two ragged men, judging by their age and size, they should be a father and daughter.

The father was a burly man, one arm had been completely animalized, the joints of his limbs were as thick as a rock, and his explosive muscles bulged out like a hill of gray-brown hair, which looked very oppressive and terrifying from a distance.

He was holding a childish little girl, in her early tens, with a pair of beautiful big eyes, and her thin and slender eyelashes were as soft as black feathers, but her mental state was relatively poor, and her skin was sickly pale, which should be caused by long-term malnutrition.

The presence of the little girl here means that she is also infected with the epidemic.

However, her infection level is relatively low, and the location of her bestiality is also subtle. The rest of her body was normal, except for the pointed ears, which were covered with fluff and turned into two animal ears, which trembled from time to time.

"Your Excellency," the father stopped at a distance, bowed to Chino, and said in a trembling voice, "My name is Ramos, and this is my daughter, Luca." ”

Luca's ears pressed back softly, and she whispered, "Hello, Lord Civic. ”

Chino smiled back politely: "Hello, my name is Chino." ”

Suddenly, Ramos knelt on the ground with Luca in his arms and pleaded with Chino, "My lord, please make sure to save my daughter for me." ”
