Chapter 495 - 495 495 The Filthy Undead

495: Chapter 495: The Filthy Undead 495: Chapter 495: The Filthy Undead The Undead Mage continued to move south, and the war in the North gradually came to an end.

Of course, the end only applied to the northern expanse of Zhao Guang’s territory and its nearby regions.

To the further east, there wasn’t any sign of cessation.

Nevertheless, upon receiving the news, many Undead Mages also started to migrate westward.

Many people sent inquiries, and some even came in person to ask.

Zhao Guang’s response was extremely straightforward, he simply said that these people had moved south from the Beastman territories, and he had no control over that area.

As for those who questioned why he did not eliminate the Undead Mages, Zhao Guang suggested they try to eradicate them themselves.

Zhao Guang knew he couldn’t defeat those Undead Mages, so anyone who thought they could was welcome to try.

Nobody had the right to discuss the matter with him unless they had attempted to eliminate an Undead Mage themselves.

Fortunately, there weren’t too many holier-than-thou individuals in this world, and his own status was not to be taken lightly either.

So, after a few days of such disturbances, things gradually quieted down.

The migration of Undead Mages to the west alleviated the pressure on their Human Territories.

They were reluctant to engage in war if it could be avoided, as the number of deaths resulting from conflict was far too high.

Even those who held little regard for human life couldn’t ignore the tremendous expenditure of wealth and resources that came with warfare.

In this manner, a period of relative calm slowly returned.

Yet, within this calm, certain problems still arose.

One day, Qiao Miya suddenly appeared before Zhao Guang, “Master, the number of our subjects who are falling ill is increasing by the day.

Judging by the situation, I fear we may be seeing the symptoms of a plague outbreak.”

“A plague outbreak?

Why didn’t you inform me earlier?”

Zhao Guang was somewhat irritated.

A plague was no trivial matter, neither on Earth nor in this world.

“At first, we thought it was just the aftermath of winter that was causing people to fall ill.”

It was common for illnesses to spread with the change of seasons, especially here in the North, which was inherently cold.

Most of their people had migrated from the South, so sickness was rife throughout the winter.

Were it not for some medicines he had brought along, many would likely have died from illnesses.

This time, the alarm was raised due to the sheer number of the afflicted, and the fact that their medicines were running low.

Moreover, Jeana, who was a priestess, noticed that this illness seemed different, which ultimately led to its discovery.

“It hasn’t fully broken out yet, has it?”

“Not yet, but given the situation, it’s only a matter of time before it does.”

“Then, what are their symptoms?” Zhao Guang inquired further.

“Similar to a common cold, but there are some differences.

For instance, some people are shivering—we initially thought it was just the cold weather.”

Those were hardly common symptoms, and Zhao Guang was at a loss himself.

“Alright, go and use the Penicillin I told you about, I’ve shown you how to administer it.”

He had not wanted to resort to it, but now it seemed necessary, since the medicine was intended for cattle.

A vial of Penicillin diluted in water was enough to treat thousands of cows.

However, since it required injection, many were hesitant to utilize it, as most medicines in this world were taken orally.

“I’ll take care of it right away,” Qiao Miya promptly left.

In fact, he had come principally to request permission to use those drugs.

Having purchased them, Zhao Guang kept them under tight control, forbidding anyone from using them without his express command.

How should I put it, if these things aren’t prepared in advance, they’re not easy to buy on the spur of the moment.

Thinking of his own subjects using veterinary medicine, Zhao Guang felt rather speechless.

It seemed he was on the verge of becoming a lord to beasts.

But then again, when you think about those Werewolves and Rabbitfolk, aren’t they quite similar to beasts?

Shaking his head, Zhao Guang simply decided not to ponder on it any further.

“Master, do you think this plague could be something released by those Undead Mages?”

Zhao Guang was startled, then shook his head, “Impossible.

They have no need to do so.

Besides, if they truly wanted to release a plague, the effects would certainly not be so limited.” Zhao Guang had come to understand this.

The books sent by the Undead Mages previously were not short on records of plague creation.

Although it was different from the microbiology he had studied, he could still discern parallel concepts.

Zhao Guang knew that if it were really the doing of those Undead Mages, the effects of this plague would absolutely not be so simple.

Even the most basic Undead Plague would be far more lethal than common diseases.

“So what’s going on then?”

“Because of the weather, the weather has already warmed up, you see, flies and mosquitoes have appeared.”

Zhao Guang helplessly watched these insects with indomitable vitality, which were the best vectors for spread.

Then thinking about those damned Undead across from him, really, why did they have to produce so many Zombies?

Wouldn’t skeletons be better?

Zombies rot and stink, and even if they aren’t carriers of the Undead Plague, they can breed all sorts of bacteria and viruses on their own.

It’s odd, those Undead Mages deal with these things all day long, how come they are unaffected?

Wait, could it be that they have become almost skeletal precisely because of these things?

“Dirty Undead,” Zhao Guang cursed under his breath, his thoughts gradually drifting away.

“Let’s not talk about this for now.

Once Qiao Miya collects more symptoms, I’ll see what other medicine to use.” For this kind of bacterial and viral infections, Earth was very skilled at handling them.

In this world, where viruses haven’t undergone selective mutation due to medicine, antibiotics could be used like miracle medicine.

“If we’re not talking about that, there are actually two other matters that need consideration recently.”

Xi Fei pulled out a notebook, having also learned to keep records like Zhao Guang recently.

“The first matter is that it’s about time to start thinking about spring farming.

But this is not urgent, we still need to wait a while before preparing, as the weather is still quite cold.”

Yes, there’s also the matter of spring farming.

It might be cold here, but back on Earth, it’s almost starting.

No, he had been too preoccupied and confused; he must go back and see how well the preparations were proceeding.

“And the other matter?”

“The other matter is about shipbuilding.

We’ve already produced a batch of ships, but right now, we cannot verify them.”

Zhao Guang nodded, knowing full well why; it wasn’t because of the ice.

In fact, the ice to the east had been mostly broken up by the lords using various methods.

But the war between the Undead Mages and them was still ongoing, with the Undead Mages using all sorts of small boats to navigate on the water surface.

Perhaps in comparison to the river, the boats were small, but the Undead didn’t know what fear was.

Even if some of the Undead fell into the water, they would find a way to keep crawling forward.

At this time, to experiment with one’s own ships was to either have them forcibly seized and pressed into service by either side or to simply court death.
