Chapter Seventy-Five: Drink plenty of hot water
The Guna River is a long river that runs through the grassland, and the creatures on the grassland have always been fed by this river. This river is also the holy river of the wolf clan, the mother river. Since there was no running water, people in this era drank water directly from nature.
The Guna River basin is rich in water and grass, and there are all kinds of beautiful pebbles on the river beach. These pebbles are crystal clear, and no one will be surprised that they are jade inside.
Wang Xika stood by the river and watched for a while, only to feel that the river water was clear and clear, and it was a good river, and he couldn't see anything else. After all, to detect whether there are E. coli and Yersinia pestis in the river water, a set of special testing equipment is needed, and these testing equipment is obviously not available in this era.
The soldiers who accompanied them were very happy to see this river, and rushed over to drink water to quench their thirst. Wang Xika shouted:
"Stop it! There's something wrong with this water, and no one is allowed to drink the water from this river!"
Elder Gallo asked confusedly, "My king, can you smell the toxins in the water?"
Of course, Wang Xijia can't smell viruses and bacteria, he just judges logically, if he wants to poison, the water source is a good choice.
Wang Xijia ordered: "Don't drink the water of the Guna River for the time being these days, the soldiers will first dig the water from the well, and if you are really thirsty and want to drink the river water, you must also boil the water before drinking." ”
In fact, Wang Xika himself doesn't like to drink hot water, and he only likes tea and coffee for hot drinks. But there's no denying that drinking hot water is healthier than drinking cold water, especially when drinking water wasn't sterilized in ancient times, and using high-temperature heating to disinfect drinking water can kill most of the bacteria.
After giving the order, Wang Xijia felt at ease. When you're doing something, you know in your heart that it's the right thing to do. Wang Xijia now feels like this that he is doing the right thing. Immediately afterwards, Wang Xika issued another order, the crowd must not gather, and people must keep a distance of about 5 meters.
In the absence of modern detection methods, the only way to stop the spread of the plague is probably enough. Wang Xika thought about it, but still felt that it was very likely that the water was poisoned, so he wanted to take Lang Naduo and Zach to carefully check the water source. Andy was also going to follow, Wang Xika thought about it and agreed.
The source of the Guna River is in the Nianqing Snow Mountain in the northwest of the grassland, which is formed by the melting of nearby glacial water. Wang Xijia and his entourage searched all the way along the water source, and finally found something strange:
As the Guna River was about to enter the grassland, the flow suddenly slowed down. The terrain in this area is steep, and the drop is also large, and the flow rate should be faster, but there must be something in the water blocking it.
There are no cheeks here, and the best water-based is Lang Naduo. Lang Nado transformed into a wolf, plunged into the river with a dog's plan, or rather, a wolf's plan, and said, "There are iron boxes in the water, do you want to take these boxes out and take a look?"
Wang Xijia shouted: "Don't touch that iron box, you come up first and rinse your face with wine." ”
Although he hadn't seen this iron box with his own eyes, Wang Xika had already sensed that this iron box should be what Dracula used to poison, and it was either dead rats or dead people, and it must be full of bacteria and viruses. If you don't have quarantine measures and rush to carry that iron box, you are likely to be infected.
Wang Xijia brought two heavy trucks up and pulled the iron box up. The box was about five meters square and was made of cast iron. Many holes were carved out of the body, and pus and blood came out of the holes.
Wang Xijia asked people to bring helmets, masks and gloves to open the iron box, although he had been prepared, but he still felt like vomiting when he saw the box open. Inside, there were countless corpses of mice, cats, dogs, and dead people, all of which were in a highly decomposed state, and it seemed that they had been left for a long time.
"This Dracula can also play biochemical warfare!" Wang Xika said fiercely.
Biochemical warfare is a way to use chemical gases, bacteria and viruses to wage war against the enemy. The human world basically did not become proficient in the use of this weapon until the First and Second World Wars of the 20th century, and it was used most during the Second World War. Later, because this method of warfare was too cruel and the sequelae it brought were difficult to deal with, it was banned by various countries.
In this era, there is naturally no "Convention on the Prohibition of Chemical and Biological Weapons", and even if there is Dracula, it is estimated that he will not abide by such a treaty.
Wang Xijia ordered someone to pour gasoline into the iron box and burn it completely for harmless treatment, eradicating the root of the disease, and his heart was a little more steady. Then I thought that the Guna River was nearly 2,000 kilometers, and it was 5,600 miles from the source to the werewolf grassland, and that there were other tributaries in the middle of the river to join me, even if this box was very toxic, it should be almost diluted. A single box will not cause so many people to be infected, and it is estimated that there is a source of poison.
So I searched all the way along the river, and sure enough, I found more than 100 iron boxes. Each box was filled with sick cats, sick dogs, rats, dead people, etc., and the whole river was turned into a poisonous river by Dracula, which really surprised Wang Xijia.
It can be seen that Dracula has been preparing for a long time, not to mention preparing those corpses, and the production of these iron boxes alone cannot be completed in a day or two. After making the iron box, you have to secretly transport the iron box to the territory of the werewolf to put it, so that the germs are covered in the whole basin, and the workload is quite huge. Perhaps Dracula's several attacks on the werewolf tribe were just to cover the act of placing iron boxes in the river.
What surprised Wang Xika even more was that Dracula should not know what a virus or bacteria was, but he could come up with such a negative tactic. Vampires can't make glass, let alone microscopes that can look at cells, and naturally can't know about bacteria and viruses. Dracula had only relied on his years of experience to observe that mad dogs, rats, and sick carcasses could make other people sick, and he had come up with these iron boxes that almost wiped out werewolves.
It can be seen that Dracula, a vampire, is still very smart, but it's a pity that his cleverness is not used on the right path. If he had been born in later life and had applied his ingenuity to study, he would have become an excellent chemist or biologist, and maybe even win a Nobel Prize.
But now is obviously not the time to give Dracula an award, as the commander of the werewolf clan, Wang Xika must erase Dracula from this world for the sake of his people. This is the first time he wants to "erase" an enemy, whether it is Lianshan of the Craftsman Tribe, or Sessions of the Werewolf Tribe, although Wang Xika has also fought with them and almost died at their hands, but their actions do not make Wang Xijia feel "evil".
This Dracula who has never been in a certain way is different, and his set of "tactics" exudes a disgusting atmosphere. It is normal to fight a war and kill a person. But if you want to fight in this way, you're kind of crossing the bottom line. Wang Xijia felt that he couldn't bear it.
Hundreds of tin boxes were doused with gasoline and burned, and a raging fire broke out in the grassland. This group of fires is the fire of the revival of the wolf clan.
Wang Xika jumped on a truck in the firelight, stood on the front of the car and delivered a speech to the wolf clan: "The source of the plague has been cut off, as long as everyone maintains the habit of eating cooked food and drinking cooked water in the future, and pays attention to personal hygiene, our wolf clan will be invincible!"
There was silence on the grassland, and the werewolves did not agree with the wolf king's concept of hygiene, and always felt that it had destroyed the werewolves' long-standing traditions and was too troublesome. It's just that since this is an order issued by the wolf king, it's not good to oppose it directly.
You think, if you and your friend hunted a deer with great interest, shouldn't you eat it at once?
When you are thirsty, shouldn't you rush into the river and drink it with great pleasure? Do you have to go into the river and stir up the water, boil it in a kettle, and then drink it when it is cold?
Seeing that everyone's interest was not high, Wang Xijia understood that popularizing health knowledge is an arduous task with a long way to go, and it cannot be completed overnight.
What werewolves need most at the moment is to boost their confidence, and then gradually develop the habit of eating hygienically.
So Wang Xika raised his voice and roared loudly: "Although the source of the plague has been found, too many of our werewolf compatriots have died because of this plague. Werewolf blood will not be shed in vain, and we will definitely be able to take revenge!"
Speaking of this werewolf, he is not sleepy. Everyone came to the spirit, and they all looked up to the sky and howled, and the grassland resounded with wolf howls.
Wang Xijia saw that everyone liked to hear this, so he picked what the werewolf liked and said, "We want to make the vampire pay tenfold, a hundred times the price!"
"Pay the price!"
"The price!"
There was a wild shout in the prairie, so loud that it could tear over the roofs—if there were roofs on the prairie.
Seeing that the werewolf's interest had been stirred up by himself, Wang Xika struck while the iron was hot again, and this time he began to carry private goods:
"To defeat vampires, you have to have a good body, you have to be healthy!"
"Body!"
"Healthy!"
Friends who have read "The Rabble" know that once the crowd enters this stage of shouting slogans, they will believe whatever you say.
Wang Xijia finally took this opportunity to shout what he wanted to say the most:
"If you want to destroy Dracula, you must eat cooked food and drink hot water!"
"Destroy Dracula!"
"Eat cooked food! Drink hot water!"
"Delicatessen!"
"Hot water!"
Seeing that he had successfully instilled this hygiene concept into the minds of the wolves, Wang Xika poured himself a cup of hot coffee.
I took a sip and smiled with satisfaction.
Of course, the establishment of the health system is a long process, and in this era, even the most skilled doctor Nikolai did not have the concept of bacteria and viruses. Eating cooked food and drinking hot water are just a small step on the road to medicine. But this small step was enough to free the werewolf tribe from the plague.
