Chapter 868

Qi's brows jumped, "We are different from the beasts, if the beasts are sick, will we have the same disease?" ”

"This is the plague, a very contagious disease. The plague easily spreads from wild animals to humans, and people who are so sick will soon die...... It's scary. ”

Ye Qingxin explained earnestly, and suddenly asked again, "Qi, did any major disasters happen to the tribes of the forest before?" Is it the kind of death that has caused a lot of deaths? ”

"When my father was young, he said that once, many wild beasts in the forest died. The males could not hunt the living beasts, they were so hungry that they could only eat the dead beasts, and then they also died. ”

Kai frowned and recalled, "It seems that it is also summer, when the beasts are at their most, a lot of prey died, they had no food to eat, and many people starved to death.

People could only eat plants, and after eating plants, many people were poisoned, and at that time, there were very few people in a tribe who survived. ”

His words made Ye Qingxin even more nervous.

In ancient times, natural disasters could not be avoided at all, and savages did not even have the ability to resist natural disasters.

When Kai's father was a child, it wasn't necessarily the plague, but it was certainly a terrible infectious disease.

Ye Qing was worried, the hot weather was the season when the plague was prone to outbreaks.

Once it breaks out in the forest, the tragic situation that Qi's father experienced when he was a child is likely to be experienced by the Apocalypse tribe again.

Fortunately, bubonic plague occurs frequently in summer and autumn, and it is easy to prevent and resist through contact infection.

Pneumonic plague, which is transmitted through respiratory droplets, is more difficult to prevent, and is more common in winter.

The wolf herd encounters bubonic plague, and as long as you don't eat the sick beasts and cut off the transmission route, you can control it.

But it's not that simple, humans know the danger of viruses and can control the source of food, wolves and beasts are beasts, how do they know which ones can eat and which ones can't!

Qi looked at Ye Qingxin with a heavy face, and gradually sorted out his thoughts:

"When the beasts of the forest get sick and die, we will not get enough food, and without food, some will eat the dead beasts, and they will also get sick and die.

Either die of disease or starvation, that is, the Apocalypse Tribe will face a great disaster, right? ”

Ye Qingxin nodded heavily.

Hopefully, her prediction was wrong, and there wouldn't be a major plague in the forest.

In ancient times, the main source of food was the wild beasts of the forest, and the plague of the tribe could be prevented, but the absence of food was really a deadly thing.

"Kai, from tomorrow onwards, you must be careful when you take the males to hunt, don't shoot small beasts, only big beasts." Ye Qingxin said with a sad face:

"When you see a sick beast that is not fast running, do not fight it, let alone touch a dead beast.

If I can come back from hunting some more big beasts, I will make the extra meat into bacon or dried meat, and we won't go hungry if we can't catch the prey one day. ”

Kai nodded solemnly.

"Tomorrow, I will take Anon and some females to the forest to collect more edible plants and plant them in the ground, so that they can be used as food in the future." Ye Qingxin said.

Now it is necessary not only to prepare food in advance, but also to develop cultivation and breeding as soon as possible, so as to have enough food to tide over the difficulties when the plague breaks out.

It is also necessary to prepare drugs to prevent and treat the plague, and once found, even if treated, at least it can save life.

"Whew......"

Suddenly, a low wolf howl sounded outside the tribe's gates.

"The white wolf is coming." Ye Qingxin got up and went to pick up the white wolf.

The white wolf stood in front of the gate of the Apocalypse Tribe, waiting for Ye Qingxin to come over.

"Whew!" Seeing Ye Qingxin, it raised its head and shouted.

"White wolf, did you tell the wolf pack?" Ye Qing looked at it worriedly.
