Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    People were beaten, shops smashed, and robbed everywhere.  {,.  <Net> The riot quickly spread, spreading in all directions from this small neighborhood.  Liu Yi personally directed this scene and sighed slightly.  I hope that the crisis that emerges early will allow more people to leave this doomed city as soon as possible.  "But even Liu Yi didn't expect it.  The riots will intensify, and three consecutive days of riots will leave large areas of the city in ruins.  These mobs even took advantage of the chaos to set fires, but it happened that it hadn¡¯t rained in the past few days.  The chaotic layout of houses in the city adds a lot of convenience to the spread of fire.  However, no matter what, the riots spread to such an extent.  The biggest reason is the incompetence of the ruling council.  ¡°After all, this is just an autonomous governing council of merchants, and their efficiency is appallingly low.  Until now, we have not been able to control the situation.  They just get together and quarrel with each other.  There are not many police and troops in the city. This is a port city.  Although it has a powerful fleet, it does not have a powerful army.  The combination of various problems caused the riots to spread rapidly.  People in slums everywhere on the outskirts of the city, and even those in shantytowns, have been unleashed on the beasts in their hearts.  Then, they looted and destroyed everywhere in the city.  Even wealthy areas are not spared.  After even a certain ruling house was burned down, those people who gathered together to argue and argue realized the seriousness of the problem.  No longer dare to fight for power and gain, we must first control the situation.  However, at this time, the situation is not so easy to control.  The turmoil lasted for more than a week, and a large number of people died in it.  Many people began to flee the city in panic.  Nothing was beyond Liu's expectation.  Even the factory area was greatly affected, and many factories and timber were burned down.  At this time, ship prices fell further.  Especially after the riots subsided, it was discovered that the plague had become more severe and terrifying.  "This ship costs eighteen thousand gold coins. This is the lowest price." Haimut pointed bitterly at a ship in the dock.  This one is also a steamship.  It was much larger than the steamship that Lewis first saw.  It is almost two thousand tons in size.  It had just been built not long ago and still smelled like brand new paint.  This is not Liu¡¯s favorite boat, but it is the one he is most likely to get.  The boat that Lewis was originally interested in was still lying in the dock.  At the very least, workers need to be called in.  It took several months of work to finally complete it.  "Doctor Liu, you should know. Calculating the normal price of this ship, it will definitely not be less than 35,000 gold coins. If the situation hadn't been too chaotic recently, I was about to leave here. I would never sell it so cheaply." Liu Yi  He nodded and agreed with this statement.  But he shook his head and did not approve of the price.  It seems that the boss has not yet figured out the situation.  However, Hemut didn't understand the situation.  But there will always be smart people who figure it out.  Soon after Trek and Remag released the news, two or three shipyard bosses came to see them personally.  These people see the situation much more clearly than Heimut, and they even plan to sell the ship at a bargain price.  In other words, they are less confident about the situation in Melun Port than Haimut.     but.  There was no ship in their hands that Liu Yi could like.  Even if there is, it has not been completely completed.  At this time, gather manpower to start work.  It's not an ordinary difficulty.  Lewis only planned to buy a built ship.  But of course he would not reveal this directly.  He just looked very interested.  As a result, Haimut panicked first.  He also quickly understood the necessity of the situation.  Now it is not a question of whether to lose money or not, but a question of selling the ship as quickly as possible. If you can sell one gold coin, you can earn one gold coin.  Then take the money and quickly leave this place that has been cursed by the gods.  At this time of panic, it seems that no one except Liu Yi will buy a boat.  ?That is to say.  If Lewis doesn't buy it.  Then their ship is just a pile of broken wood.  You can't even make a penny back.  Especially after hearing that a certain boss quoted an outrageous price of six thousand gold coins for his ship.  Haimut could no longer remain calm.  Although the opponent's ship has not been built yet, it is just the last bit left.  Especially since their ships were bigger than his.  This made Haimut feel more and more full of joy.Yes, it's not that person.  But the whole world.  Soon, Hemut¡¯s offer was reduced to 10,000.  Liu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, this was the time he could accept the psychological price.  However, two military vehicles quickly arrived at the factory area.  This is a very weird-looking steam car, somewhat like a train.  Except it doesn't track.  The huge front of the car has a long trailer behind it.  A vehicle can carry at least fifty soldiers.  More than a hundred soldiers with loaded guns and serious faces got out of the two vehicles.  An officer came to Liu Yi and saluted Liu with a bang.  Said: "Our department is here to invite Dr. Liu on the order of Elder Clarkson." When the people around heard this name, they couldn't help but whisper.  This is one of the most powerful people in this city.  Could it be that he was also infected with the plague, so he eagerly invited Liu Yi to go for treatment? Anyway, I watched Liu Yi being taken into the car.  Everyone sighed, and they were even more pessimistic and disappointed about the future.  Even the most powerful people in this city cannot escape this plague.  What's more, others should sell the boat as soon as possible in exchange for some funds.  Good to escape the city.  At this moment, Haimut¡¯s intestines were filled with regret.  If only the ship price could be lowered earlier.  For example, six thousand, uh, eight thousand, has the deal been negotiated long ago? Clarkson met Lewis in his villa in the suburbs.  This is a holiday estate with a beautiful environment, surrounded by vegetation.  Originally, it was just a leisure place built outside the city by powerful people like Clarkson to escape the summer and winter.  But since the plague broke out in the city, Clarkson has never been to the city again.  In fact, the elders of the current ruling parliament are all similar.  Rich people cherish life, and people with money and power cherish it even more.  He is rarely seen.  And everyone who is to be summoned by him.  It has to go through heavy disinfection before it can finally be found in front of him.  Of course, Lewis was an exception. The elder of the ruling council in front of him did not suffer from any plague.  He just sat tiredly behind his desk.  He rubbed his eyes helplessly.  "There are a total of seventy-two elders in Port Mailun. Thirty-six came during the meeting five days ago, which was just over halfway." This was the first thing the elder said when he saw Liu Yi.  "Three days ago, when the parliament convened again, no one was present. Because the janitor of the parliament died on the bed. His room was not far from the parliament hall. Everyone was afraid that they would be infected." "Port Myron  There are eight departments in total, and none of them are open for business now. Even if the order issued by the council is in vain, for me, how to bury all the dead is more important than anything else.  "The dead people are rotting in this city." "Starting yesterday, the army at the port has sworn allegiance to me, because several other qualified senators also fled the city, but I persisted until the end.  But I can't issue an order to let the soldiers dispose of the corpses. Otherwise, they will rebel at any time." "These are the things caused by the damn plague. If this continues, this city will become a complete city.  Dr. Liu, I think I have made my words clear enough. Now it is your turn to tell me whether you have the ability to stop this plague." Liu said simply and neatly: "I am very confused, if I have.  I don't mind being a savior. But now, I just want to run away. As a big shot, you should know more about how this plague came about.  And all this is just a precursor." Hearing these words.  Clarkson's eyes narrowed slightly.  Then it was filled with disappointment.  He shouldn't have placed any hopes. ???????? In fact, it¡¯s not just him.  Those senators who escaped actually knew what this plague meant.  Those devils¡¯ eyes were fixed on a continent rich in light film.  Li Ying is the name of this continent.  This is a continent colonized by the powerful Aziman kingdom.  The Port of Myron is one of the largest ports in this colonial land.  But Lash is a continent colonized by the Kingdom of Aziman earlier.  It was much more developed and prosperous there than here.  This piece of Liying continent has come out??A port city.  Most of the place is barren.     However.  But it was also after a plague.  Those demons began to appear, eventually turning Rush into a ruins and a ghostland. "Are you a Dachu from across the sea?" Clarkson suddenly asked.  Liu Yi nodded, thinking that indeed Da Chu had contact with this place.  "Then you should know that we Aqiman and Dachu are allies. We call them the devil's enemies, and you call them the enemies on the other side. This is our common enemy. I think you can stay and help me." Liu Yi said: "  Sorry, I can't cure their disease." "I know, but you can at least give the people confidence. Don't worry, I won't let you help in vain. I know what you need. You own a first-class battleship.  """Lewis didn't know what to say.  "I guess you are an elite student from some university where you came out for training. You should know that you are commanding a warship like this back. What kind of treatment can you get? Can you become a noble? Even if you don't plan to take this ship  If you transfer the ship, you can even get more benefits. This is no better than buying a shabby merchant ship with all your hard work. Don't worry, I won't let you die in this city.  I will just do my best. After all, these are my people. If things are really bad and cannot be supported, I will run away. But at this time, I have to shoulder my responsibilities from yesterday.  From the beginning, I have become the most powerful person in this port." Lewis nodded, slightly moved: "So, what can I do?" "You can do a lot, believe me" Clarkson showed a relaxed smile.  Come: "You can bring a little hope to these desperate people now" "False hope" "Yes, but it is better than being desperate all the time" So, Liu got on the pirate ship.  He is not an overly greedy person.  What impressed him was not just the first-class battleship.  On the second day, all the newspapers in Port Melun published a news on the front page.  The ruling parliament hired the miracle doctor Liu as the city¡¯s minister of health.  It is said that this minister is likely to develop a specific medicine for the plague.  Then, the following is a large-scale interview and report about Liu.  After what happened in the previous period, many people already knew Liu Yi¡¯s abilities.  Knowing that he is the only doctor who can cure the plague.  Therefore, this report caused an extremely strong response.  Even those boring and formulaic interviews that no one would read before were read with gusto by everyone who got the newspaper. ? In the newspaper, Lewis pointed out.  Dirt is how the plague spreads.  Therefore, this port must be clean and tidy.  And those corpses are the source of the disease.  Soon, in line with Liu Yi¡¯s speech.  Officials came forward to organize manpower.  Half are well paid and half are volunteers.  Together we start cleaning up the entire city.  Also, mugwort, an inconspicuous weed, should be hung in front of every house, which quickly becomes worth a hundred times.  So much so that one can buy a gold coin.  Whenever, life is more important than money.  Isn't it fortunate that the officials soon started distributing this kind of stuff door to door without charging money?  Kicked back the price.  What Clarkson wants now is not to scrape the last copper from this city.  But to stabilize order in the city.  For something that grows in many places outside the city, it only requires a little labor to harvest.  It doesn't cost much.  Lewis recruited the person he was most familiar with, Trek or Remag, as his assistant.  In fact, he thought he was just a mascot to stabilize people's hearts.  However, he soon discovered.  What Clarkson said was not a lie.  Most of the bureaucrats in this city have fled.  To be continued.
