The place where the body of the little werewolf Serezo was burned was on the edge of the desert, and further on, you reached the werewolf grassland.

This is a land that belongs to Wang Xijia, but Wang Xijia is not very familiar with this place, because this is only the second time he has come here. When I first came, I only stayed in this grassland for a day or two.

The grassland is still the same boundless grassland, and everywhere you see it is turquoise, occasionally dotted with some small red and yellow flowers. In the distance is a meandering river.

If you use a song to describe the beauty of the grassland, the most appropriate one is undoubtedly:

The vast end of the world is my love, and the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green mountains. The crooked river came from heaven and flowed to the sea of purple and red......

The scenery is undoubtedly beautiful. But perhaps it is a psychological effect, although he has not lived in the grassland for a long time, Wang Xijia always feels that the current grassland is different from the past, and the atmosphere has changed - there seem to be some subtle elements in the air.

It was the werewolves' fear of the plague, or Wang Xijia's own fear of the plague.

Garrincha called out the wolves with a wolf howl, and the wolves appeared in the grassland. The number is much less than when Wang Xika first came, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled werewolves, all of whom look listless and sick. Wang Xika couldn't help but think of two poems:

The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. The people are left behind, and the thought breaks people's intestines.

Under the leadership of Sessions, the wolf clan prospered, once cornering the Dracula family, and had the ability to run to the upper estuary to do something. In less than a few months, the werewolves went from the apex of prosperity to the brink of extinction. It can be seen that the world is impermanent, and the rise and fall are all in an instant.

As the domineering president who crossed over to the mouth of the river, the ruler of the craftsman and the hairy man, and the wolf king on the grassland, Wang Xika also wants to save face. Seeing the bleak scene of the wolf clan, he desperately felt that he needed to do something, no matter what, he couldn't let the wolf clan destroy in his hands.

First of all, it is necessary to restore the faith of the people, which is more precious than gold. Wang Xika took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "Brothers and sisters of the wolf clan, as the wolf king, I, Wang Xijia, swear to let the wolf clan return to glory! No, it will be more brilliant than before! Please believe me!"

Wang Xika's impassioned speech did not receive much feedback, everyone did not have deep feelings for this new wolf king, and they had been scared of the plague recently.

Wang Xijia also knew that what the wolf clan needed at this moment was not inspirational chicken soup or painting flatbread, what they needed was real safety and health. It's a pity that he doesn't have a special medicine to treat the plague at present, so he can only calm the emotions of the wolf clan first.

Grand Elder Garo stepped forward and asked calmly, "My king, how do you plan to restore the wolf clan to its glory?"

The Great Elder did not transform into a wolf, but in human form. It looks like his beard and hair are white, and he has a very temperamental temperament, and he does have the demeanor of an elder.

The wolf clan has always been a strong race, the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled will be excluded, and only the young and strong will be respected.

But it is such a strong race, but the Great Elder Gallo has great respect for him, which shows that Gallo's wisdom has been recognized by the clansmen, and there is still something.

That is, this great elder broke the custom that the wolf clan must be buried in the burial place, and let the werewolves practice cremation, which to some extent prevented the continued spread of the epidemic. Speaking of which, he can be regarded as the wise man of the wolf clan.

"The first thing is, of course, to control the epidemic, cut off the source of infection, and then go and destroy the Dracula family and avenge the werewolves. Wang Xijia replied.

"If there is one person in this world who can save the wolf clan, I believe it is you, my wolf king. Elder Gallo pressed his hand to his heart and bowed deeply to Wang Xika.

Wang Xijia likes this elder very much, as the saying goes, there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure. To dominate the wolf clan, you need to rely on the wisdom of this great elder.

"How old are you?" asked Wang Xika politely.

"I don't remember exactly, maybe more than a thousand years old. The Great Elder said.

Wang Xika was a little speechless, he had never seen anyone who could live more than a thousand years old. Although this great elder looks old, he is only 7 or 80 years old at most, and it is nonsense to say that he has lived for more than a thousand years.

But Wang Xijia did not refute Elder Gallo, but instead took over the conversation and continued to ask, "In your memory of more than a thousand years, has there ever been such a serious epidemic?"

The Great Elder thought for a moment and said, "There have been plagues before, but they don't have such a large scope, and the corpses are generally burned, and everyone lives a little more and it's fine." It can be said that there has never been such a large-scale disease like this time, and perhaps this is God's punishment for the wolf clan. ”

Wang Xijia was quite touched after listening to it, and suddenly remembered a computer game called "Warcraft" that he had played before, and there was a plot in it about the plague.

When the Scourge spread the plague to Stratholme, the Prince of Arthas ordered the city to be slaughtered in order to stop the spread of the plague. Eventually, he himself was shrouded in darkness and became the Lich King.

Could it be that this scene will be repeated in the werewolf grassland, and he will have to slaughter his own subjects?

This nonsensical thought just flashed in Wang Xijia's heart, and it passed. He didn't believe it was God's punishment for the wolf clan, it was just a contagion. Infectious diseases are not invincible, and the most important thing is to cut off the source of infection.

"Do we werewolves usually eat mice, or marmots?" asked Wang Xika. Rats carry Y. pestis and are susceptible to plague if they come into contact with it. Wang Xijia has raised dogs, and knows that dogs like to catch mice and eat them the most, the so-called "dogs are nosy with mice", dogs and wolves are close relatives, and werewolves may also eat mice.

As for eating marmots (marmots), it is more common, this marmot is chubby and delicious at first glance, but it is this marmot that is most likely to carry Yersinia pestis. In the era before Wang Xijia traveled, there were cases where someone was idle and had nothing to do, and ate marmots raw and became infected with plague.

"Rats eat occasionally, but not much. Gallo replied.

Werewolves generally eat cooked food in human form, but occasionally become wolves to play and eat some prey raw, such as wild asses, wild deer and so on. Prairie dogs have plump meat, and there are indeed some werewolves who are good at this.

Wang Xika solemnly said to Elder Garo: "In the name of the Wolf King, I issue an order to the Wolf Clan: From today until the end of the plague, no one of the Clan shall eat raw food, especially marmots. Each food must be cooked before it can be eaten. This command must be conveyed to every werewolf. ”

"I obey the order. After receiving the order, Gallo asked, "So do you think it's a matter of eating?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Wang Xika said. There are countless diseases in human history that have been caused by predation on wild animals, and groups such as werewolves, who often eat raw meat, should be among the groups with a high incidence of infectious diseases, perhaps this is the reason why this race became extinct in later generations.

"I always feel that it's not because of the diet, we wolf people have eaten raw meat for thousands of years, and occasionally one or two people get sick, and there are never so many people who get sick at the same time. Gallo voiced his doubts.

Wang Xika was about to refute, and suddenly felt that what Gallo said was reasonable. Werewolves live far away on the grassland, and it is possible to say that one or two families have cluster transmission, but some werewolves have not seen each other for a year, but they have contracted the same disease, indicating that there are other possibilities.

Either there is a superspreader, or someone is poisoning. A "superspreader" is one person who infects more than 10 people. Such superspreaders are either immune to viruses or bacteria, carry germs with them but do not get sick, and others who come into contact with them will be miserable. Either this type of spreader has a particularly large range of activities and contacts a large number of people, and can contact enough people in a short period of time to cause large-scale infection.

Since there is no medical equipment and no nucleic acid testing, Wang Xika does not know who the asymptomatic carrier is. As for the well-connected werewolves, there don't seem to be any professions such as courier brothers, takeaway brothers, or taxi drivers in this group. The werewolves who often go to other places are Lang Naduo, Garrincha, and Carlos, could it be that these people are infected?

If you talk about poisoning, Dracula has poisoned, but he sent mad dogs to spread rabies, which is not the same as the symptoms of distemper and plague. Besides, even if Dracula wants to poison them, how can he poison so many werewolves at the same time? Wang Xijia suddenly flashed in his head and asked, "Where do werewolves usually drink water?"

As the saying goes, "disease comes from the mouth", and in addition to diet, drinking water is also a major source of infection. And infection through drinking water is more likely for a scattered race like werewolves.

"What's wrong with the Guna River? Would you like water?" asked Elder Gallo.

"No, I suspect someone poisoned the river, I'm going to check it out. Wang Xika said. If you want to poison the grassland, it is most convenient to poison the river. No matter where you eat, everyone has to drink in this river.

"No, the Guna River is undefiled, it purifies all living beings. "Elder Carlo apparently has a bit of an almost superstitious worship of the river. This Guna River is considered a sacred river for werewolves. Werewolves only take three baths in their lives, which are birth, marriage, and childbirth, and are generally carried out in the Guna River. Werewolves all believe that the Guna River is capable of purifying filth, both physically and mentally.

"That's not good, you'll have to see it until you know it. Wang Xika smiled and walked straight to the Guna River. He knew that in later generations there was a "Ganges" that was also regarded by the locals as a holy river that could purify everything, but with the development of industry, that holy river was seriously polluted and was the source of many diseases.

Although there was no industrial pollution in this era, if you want to poison it, you can theoretically do it through the Guna River. Historically, the Mongol army once threw the corpses of plague into the enemy's river, causing the Black Death to rage in Europe, almost destroying the whole of Europe.
