Chapter 129: Spreading Diseases

All this was carried out according to the plan, in full swing, and after a week, nothing went wrong, and there was nothing wrong. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

A week later, however, the little duke's worst fears came true.

On this day he was sketching on the ground, trying to make equipment for mining coal from the available materials.

Iron picks, miner's lamps, and carts are naturally indispensable.

However, the efficiency of traditional mining methods is really limited, if it is possible to build two railroad tracks and build a rail minecart.

Efficiency can definitely increase exponentially.

However, with the existing conditions of Blackfire Castle, it is not difficult to build a minecart, but it is difficult to be on the track.

Although they used beer to exchange a lot of iron ore from other tribes.

He also brought back a lot of smelting additives from Undercurrent Island.

However, to refine high-quality steel on a large scale, there is still a lack of sufficient conditions.

Just as he was trying to build a large steel-making furnace and discussing the feasibility with Eight Feet and Bard.

Fante hurried over with a look on his face.

"Link is not good, something is wrong!" he looked very anxious.

If it weren't for the urgency of the matter, he wouldn't have disturbed Lin Ye's discussion.

They're planning for the future of Blackfire Castle.

"Don't worry, what's wrong? Lin Ye handed him a glass of water.

Eight Feet and Bard also stopped discussing.

They all looked at the hurried little chubby mound.

Hasn't it been quiet lately?

What else could be a big deal?

"A lot of people, a lot of people are sick, Miss Yuffie is taking care of them, go over and have a look!" Van said, pointing in the direction of the makeshift settlement.

It will take at least three months for the town to be built.

During this period, people can only stay in temporary settlements.

But they don't complain about it.

After all, the food provided by Blackfire Castle is quite good, and this is also their new home.

They were very excited to see the town being built little by little.

I'm motivated every day.

But now you're suddenly sick?

"Sick?" Lin Ye frowned.

Population is the foundation of his industrial development, and if the foundation fails, no matter how splendid the high-rise buildings are, they are just empty shelves.

It can't withstand the slightest shaking, and it will collapse when touched.

After being suppressed by the five major tribes, he deeply understood this.

In order to dominate the Far East and achieve a career, it is necessary to have a sufficient population base.

You must have your own descendant army.

So there must be no problem with the population!

"Yes, it was all fine, but since last night, some people have been sick one after another, at first everyone thought it was a cold or something, and they didn't care, but after waking up this morning, they found that more and more people were sick, and there were nearly 200 people who were sick!"

Fant looked a little frightened.

Nearly 200 people fell ill overnight without warning.

And that number is constantly expanding.

This was a remarkable event in the feudal era, where the medical foundation was weak and superstitious.

Rumors are rampant.

Although Fante doesn't believe in those rumors, as the so-called three people become tigers, after hearing too much, it is inevitable that they will be a little suspicious.

"Let's go over and have a look, by the way, what do you all say about this?" Lin Ye asked.

He was well aware that it was impossible for this to happen suddenly and not cause panic.

Only by having a clear grasp of the situation can he stifle the rumors.

Otherwise, if the rumors are allowed to spread, all the projects will be paralyzed.

"Everyone says, everyone says......" Fant stopped talking, a little hesitant.

"Don't worry about it, but it's okay to say it. Lin Ye waved his hand.

He and Fante were hurrying in the direction of the makeshift settlement.

"Everyone said that it was Link that you cut down the woods and angered the forest goddess, and that's why you suffered the curse. Fant whispered.

"Since it's a goddess, how can it still be a curse?" Lin Ye sneered.

Judging by Fant's reaction, the rumor spread very quickly.

It must be someone with ulterior motives who wants to take advantage of it and want to create chaos.

Are it humans or orcs who are spreading rumors?

Lin Ye has no way to judge for the time being.

By this time they had arrived at the settlement.

A large number of men, women and children sat and rested with the support of their companions, while some of the more serious ones lay on simple bed frames.

Yuffie is cooling them down with cold water.

Lin Ye walked over quickly, and many people looked at him with flickering eyes.

Presumably influenced by rumors, he mistakenly thought that the governor was really cursed by the goddess of the forest.

"What's the situation now?Who are the sick people?What are the symptoms?" Lin Ye walked up to Yu Fei and asked concisely.

Yuffie was not sick and appeared to be in good health, but due to the overnight care of the sick.

Her face was not very good.

Lin Ye was also working all night making various plans and designing models of new equipment, and he had very little time to sleep.

There is no time to pay attention to the resettlement site.

At most, come over a few times a day to patrol.

It's all up to Yuffie to calm people's emotions here.

"All of them fell ill overnight, men and women, young and old, and sturdy soldiers, but neither the orcs nor the natives of the Far East fell ill, their symptoms were high fever, nausea and vomiting. Yuffie said worriedly.

She didn't believe the rumors, so many people suddenly fell ill in such a short period of time.

She just wanted to help him as much as she could.

"In other words, only the people who came back from Undercurrent Island with me are sick?, and are there any discomforts among the others?" Lin Ye turned his head to look at the other healthy people, trying to find out what was different between them.

"I haven't noticed it yet, they get sick very suddenly, often the last moment it was normal, but all of a sudden they fall ill. "Yuffie is really puzzling.

What disease can be so bad?

This kind of thing happens at such a critical juncture.

The construction of the Black Fire Castle is not good.

And the power of rumors is even greater than the disease itself.

The soldiers and the young men were all in a state of panic, and they were listless in their work.

I don't know if I will be tricked in the next moment.

"Suddenly, is there any difference between their food and water?" Lin Ye frowned.

If it's not adaptable, there's no reason why you would be so random.

His first reaction was whether someone would poison him.

"There is no difference, everyone eats the same food and drinks the same water, and so do I. Yuffie shook his head.

She carefully remembered if there was anything out of the ordinary.

But in vain.

"In other words, can it be ruled out that someone poisoned it?" Lin Ye's gaze swept over the crowd.

Everyone's eyes were terrified.

There is no doubt that this has greatly affected their production and life.

"It seems that if we don't find out this 'forest goddess', the construction of our Black Fire Castle will not be able to get back on track. Lin Ye fell into deep thought.

This will be the most serious situation he will face after returning to Blackfire Castle, except for dealing with the five major tribes!
