In recent days, there has been a solemn atmosphere in the city of Beates. The dwarven laborers who had been extending the dungeon up every day and expanding its subordinate structures were also gone. The chief of the rituals, Meslit, has issued a ban on ordinary citizens of the city to stay in their rooms. The only people who still operate in the city today are the soldiers on patrol and the aristocratic class who are busy at the bottom of the dungeon.

Most of the dwarven laborers don't know what's going on, except that many of their people seem to have been seriously ill lately. For three days in a row, the corpses of their clansmen were thrown into the well of the abyss, and rumors of the plague spread among the upper echelons of the city.

Plague, that's a taboo word. From birth to old age, the vast majority of the Underground people have a strong physique. Not to mention those snake women and scorpion men who have warrior potential since they were born, they are dwarven laborers and never get sick in their lives. But in the city of Pydes, there is such a legend. Legend has it that when the city of Pydess was first built, there was an outbreak of a plague.

In that plague, most of the strong warriors and laborers were killed and wounded. It was one of the darkest days in the city of Pydes, and every day the people were dying in agony, and the Grim Reaper seemed to be in the dungeon, and no matter how the chief of the priests prayed to the abyss, it could not prevent the continuation of the calamity.

No one knows when the plague ended, just as it happened quietly and then quietly disappeared. Since then, there have been no major outbreaks, and the Underworld have been given a chance to recuperate. From the miserable number of people who were almost wiped out after the plague, they have multiplied to a huge scale of 35,000 people. The chief of the sacrifice attributed this to the work of the Abyss, believing that it was under the protection of Naga, the king of the Underworld.

From then on, the rumor that the Naga would one day wake up from the abyss spread throughout the city.

But now, it seems that the city of Beates can't wait for Naga to wake up, but for the outbreak of the second plague.

As the lowest dwarves of the Underworld, they are born with a small stature that prevents them from being warriors and can only serve as coolies, so they are unable to share information with the nobles. The important resources and information of the city of Pydess are in the hands of the nobles at the bottom of the dungeon. In such a situation, suspicion and gossip spread, making the dwarves living above the dungeon uneasy.

It's not just the dwarves who are also feeling uneasy, and Mesriit has been restless lately. As the chief of the sacrifice of the underground tribe, it has several times the life of the people. Compared to other races, the life span of the Underlanders is very short. Strong warriors only live for more than ten years, dwarven laborers only have an average lifespan of five to eight years, and elite warriors can live up to fifteen years because of their initial transformation.

And only a life like Meslit, which has completed three transformations, can have a lifespan of nearly forty years. Along with Meslit, the Guardian Elder Huo Xian and the Revelation Elder Mo Sen, both of whom came from the warrior and toiling classes, but were also the best of the best. In particular, Mawson, who came from a humble background, but had the talent to come into contact with the elemental shijie, became the only outlier among the underworld who could communicate with the elementals.

Methriet, Hossen, and Mawson were all people who lived through the plague when the dungeon was first built. Methrite did not forget that dark memory, but what she didn't expect was that history would repeat itself.

In fact, after the plague disappeared, the disease did not end up far from the people of the earth. Every year, only about 100 people are infected with the strange virus. Although the Underworld can be compared to those humans who are at the forefront of the times in terms of technology, as a new intelligent race, they lack the thousand-year-old civilization inheritance like humans. Therefore, the coronaviruses that appeared in the old era are unknown to the underground people living in the new era, and their composition and causes are not known, and they cannot be eliminated, let alone eradicated.

The situation didn't improve until the first trade with Pavaric. At that time, the Underworld discovered black earth blood in the abyss, and through various attempts, it was discovered that it was a flammable energy source. This accelerated the development of the city of Pydes, and it also became an important currency for the dungeon's trade with the outside world. During his first deal with Parvarich, Mawson accidentally discovered that among some of the medicines provided by humans, a drug called aspirin had a very obvious effect on delaying the suffering of the sick people.

So in future transactions, the city of Beatis will specify some poop medicines. Although all they need is aspirin, in order to prevent humans from discovering their secrets, the wise Mawson points out that humans cannot be traded for a fixed drug. With the supply of Pavarich and the use of aspirin, the number of people infected with the disease is declining year by year.

Meslitt was relieved by this, and believed that his people would one day be freed from this terrible disease. But three days ago, since the first new illness of the clansmen, a succession of patients appeared. The plague was concentrated among the warriors and nobles, and to this day, the upper class of dwarven laborers have begun to be infected with the disease.

This made the city at the bottom of the city almost a mess, with people dying every day, and the number of deaths was so staggering that it was the highest average daily death toll since the city was founded.

"My king Naga, what the hell is going on. Could it be that the abyss has abandoned us?"

Between prayers, Methrite's beautiful face was full of melancholy. It gazed at the portrait of King Naga on the wall and sighed with great sorrow. At this moment, there was the sound of crutches tapping the ground behind him, and the chief of the sacrifice turned around, but it was the old dwarf Mo Sen who came with his hands in his hands.

"The situation is out of control. Mawson sighed: "Meslit, we are running low on our medicines. If this continues, soon we will run out of medicines. Moreover, this plague is very terrible, and even if the right medicine is prescribed, the intensity of control is far from enough. We have to find a way, or else"

The old dwarf didn't go on, but Meslitt didn't know the result. The Chief of the Priesthood closed her eyes, as if after some thought, she made an important decision: "Now we have to turn to Pavarich for help." By this time, we could no longer care about whether or not our people's weaknesses would be exposed to the noses of humanity. Doctors, we need human doctors, and a lot of medicines. ”

"Your decision is right, there is no way to do it. If we don't care about these things anymore, when the plague spreads to the whole city, we will be finished. Mawson struck his crutches and said, "I'll go to Pavarich now." ”

"No, I'll go!"

A rough voice came from outside the door, and Huo Xian, the chief of the tower-like guardian, lowered his body and came in from outside the door. It looked at Mesrite and Mawson and said, "If you talk about the footsteps, I'm afraid there is no one in our people who is faster than me." ”

Mesley nodded and said, "Then I'm sorry for you, Guardian." You can convey what I mean, as long as we can prevent this catastrophe, we will pay humanity accordingly. ”

"Cheap those greedy guys again!" Huo Xian said hatefully, "This time, they will definitely have to take more leyline blood." ”

"Even if the blood of the leylines is good, it is not as precious as the lives of our people. Go, Guardian, and may you return soon. Meslitt said lightly.

Huo Xian nodded and left.

The caravan needs to walk for a day, and at the feet of Huo Xian, it can be reached in half a day. It left the city of Beates in the early afternoon, and arrived in Pavarich in the evening. When the soldiers on duty saw Huo Xian's big lobster coming straight from the other side of the snowfield and pointing directly at Pavarich, they thought it was a monster invasion and immediately sounded the alarm. So the next moment, more than a dozen rifles greeted Huo Xian at the same time.

It's a pity that the rifle has limited power, not to mention the biological armor on Huo Xian's body, even if it is exposed to the cold wind, it can't shoot through the skin without any armor and stomach protection. If it was usual, the chief of the guardian would have smashed it with a hammer earlier, but now he has a request for someone, but he doesn't dare to act recklessly. It stopped out of range of its rifle, reached behind it with its large hand, and lifted a dwarf from its back.

This dwarf was the supervisor of the handover of goods with Old Rob that day, and was one of the few people in the city of Pydes who was proficient in human language. Huo Xian yelled at it, "Tell them that we are going to make a deal with them." ”

The dwarven supervisor had never been out of Beatis City in his life, and he was taken by Huo Xian to run wild on the snow field for half a day. Dwarves are much stronger than ordinary humans, but they can't withstand such a toss. Now that his face was blue from the cold, he was yelled at by Huo Xian, a notoriously unscrupulous guard, and he was immediately trembling with fright. As soon as Huo Xian threw it to the ground, the dwarven supervisor immediately shouted in a trembling voice in the direction of Pavariich, "Stop the humans, this is our esteemed guardian, but call your patriarch out and tell him that we are going to make a deal with him in the city of Bides. ”

Hearing the words "City of Bides", the soldiers in the watchtower finally reacted. They stopped shooting and called a soldier to report the situation to the current mayor, Sharon. Moments later, Sharon himself went out of the city to welcome the brave Guardian and the Dwarven Supervisor into Pavaridge.

Huo Xian had to admit that although humans were fragile, their food was very delicious. Especially that strange drink, when drunk in the stomach, it burns like a fire. Huo Xian liked this feeling very much, so he kept asking the dwarven director to ask the human to bring this drink.

In the assembly square, Sharon arranged a simple but lively dinner party for Huo Xian's arrival. The banquet was attended by some of the town's most prominent figures, as a sign of respect for the city's neighbors and long-time trading partners. Huo Xian originally didn't like Sharon's fat man, but as Sharon's wonderful flattery entered the ears of the chief of the guardian after the dwarf supervisor's translation, coupled with the delicious food and the drink that was very appetizing to it, even Huo Xian began to like this human like a ball.

On the other side of the square, in a small three-story house. The curtain of the window with zero down looked at Beonlis, who was sitting by the fireplace and flipping through a hardcover book: "The fish has been hooked." ”

Beonise closed the book, cupped the glasses on the bridge of her nose and smiled, "Thanks to your reminder." ”

Since discovering that the virus that caused the genetic collapse of the Underworld was actually a common coronavirus in the old era, Beonlise had a preliminary jihua. Jihua is divided into three parts, the first is to send the artificially created virus into the city of Bides, so that the underground people can be infected with the virus, the second is to design some of the underground people to move to the town when the Didi people ask Pavarich for help, and become hostages and hole cards on the human side, and Zuihou is to use the hostages as bait to provoke the side of the city of Bidess to lead troops to attack. In this way, the battlefield between the two sides will change from a complex dungeon to a flat snowy field, allowing the human side to take the initiative more.

And in this whole Jihua, how to send the virus into Beatis City unknowingly is the most critical and difficult part.

Originally, in Beonlith's Jihua, she had considered the route of airborne transmission, and had people secretly investigate the geography near the city of Pides, hoping to find natural vents to spread the virus in. But such vents are extremely hard to find, and in terms of efficiency, they are far from being as fast as the plague. If it weren't for the sudden outbreak of the disease, I am afraid it would be difficult to exert great psychological pressure on the alien races of Bedez City, thus forcing them to ask for help from humans.

For this reason, at the operational meeting, the officers of the three major families pondered over this issue. zuihou, zero thought of the water source. During his exploration of the dungeon, he found structures such as cisterns, and it was clear that the Underground people also needed to drink clean water. The city of Beatis is located in the belly of the earth, and the use of nothing more than the tributary of the mountain is the earth's water, so Beonlis's goal is changed from the original natural vent to the source of the leyline water.

Supplemented by state-of-the-art survey equipment, Beonrise's people soon found several sources of water. Next, the job becomes simpler. Beonise had the biochemists in the army mass-produce the coronavirus, and even in order to achieve a more haode effect, these biochemical maniacs artificially cultivated an upgraded version of the coronavirus. And when these viruses, which were even more terrible for the people of the underworld, were thrown into the water source, the city of Bides naturally broke out with a plague.

Everything is going according to Jihua, and the city of Beatis has sent an emissary to Pavarich for help. Judging from the information so far, the envoy who was eating and drinking in the small square still has a pivotal position in the dungeon. The requirements of Beates, on the other hand, were simple and clear, they needed doctors and medicines. The medicine was something Beonise expected, but as for the doctor, she didn't think of it.

When it comes to doctors, Beonlise or the other two families have military doctors. But in order not to arouse the suspicion of the city of Bides, Beonlise did not dare to use the military doctor, after all, they were not natives of the town. As for Pavarich himself, there are several doctors, and their list is now in Beonlis's hands.

Beonliz swiped the screen of the brain, and Zuihou's finger landed on one of the doctors.

"It's you. ”
