Chapter 1249: Someone Died of Illness_1

At dawn, a woman's scream startled Bai Ruozhu and Jiang Yichun awake, and both sprang up instantly.

Fearing some emergency during the past two nights, both had slept fully clothed and therefore rushed out of bed at the first sound, heading towards the direction of the screams.

A woman's emotions collapsed, and as she wailed, she began to speak incoherently; other patients had also shrunk back into the corners, their eyes filled with both fear and despair, as the atmosphere of death once again enveloped the quarantine zone.

Bai Ruozhu quickly walked over, checking Old man Zhang's pulse only to find, indeed, he had died!
