Chapter 343 Measures
Leopard Fu took a couple of deep breaths, knowing the situation was urgent, and said quickly, "I don't know the specifics either, but suddenly many orcs started vomiting and having diarrhea, and they developed fevers and rashes. It looked terrifying."

He quickly added, "I heard that Lord Su Mu was also vomiting terribly, his body was covered in red rashes, and he had a fever. The chief summoned the witch doctor and priest overnight."

Su Xiyue's expression changed drastically. This situation sounded too much like some kind of plague or viral outbreak.

She comes from the apocalypse and has a deep hatred for viruses, as well as a keen understanding of their dangers.

To make matters worse, her brother also got infected.

The thought of her father and brother living in the same house, eating and living together, made her face even more unpleasant.

"What about my father? Is he alright?"

She looked at Bao Fu and asked anxiously.

Knowing that his master was worried about the chief, Leopard Rich quickly said, "The chief is alright for now. The shaman is examining Lord Su Mu and says it looks like the plague from thirty years ago. Xuan Feng and Jin Yu have already taken the orcs to check the tribe's water source."

Upon hearing this, Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Bai Qi, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, and the others all changed their expressions drastically.

Although they had not experienced the plague thirty years ago, they had heard of it. The disaster swept across almost the entire lower region of the Beast World Continent, causing the deaths of countless beastmen and females.

Even some powerful orcs and rogue beasts were not spared.

Later, the plague disappeared without anyone knowing how; it suddenly vanished after a few years.

But many orcs died during the years when the plague broke out.

Although Feng Su and Xuan Yuanming had never been to the Lower Domain before and were unaware of the plague that struck the Lower Domain thirty years ago, they were still very clear about how terrible the plague was.

Throughout history, plagues have naturally broken out in the Upper Realm, and each outbreak has been extremely terrible.

Su Xiyue's face was extremely pale, and she felt her scalp tingle and a chill creep up from the soles of her feet.

She immediately called out to the system in her mind, "System, scan quickly, see if this is a plague, water pollution, or deliberate poisoning?"

Although the witch doctor said it resembled a plague, other possibilities could not be ruled out.

Rumors circulated that she possessed a rare treasure, but all the orcs who came to Skymist Canyon died.

The system replied almost instantly, "Host, it's not poisoning, nor is it a water problem. The scan shows it's a plague."

"It really is a plague."

Her last shred of hope vanished. She knew all too well what a plague outbreak meant, given the primitive medical conditions in the beast world. "How did it break out? Where did it originate?"

The system replied quickly, "The source is in the Winged Tiger Tribe and the surrounding area. All the orcs who were chasing Mu Han and seeking revenge against him were killed by him. The corpses are piled up like mountains, and there's simply no time to deal with them. The weather isn't completely cold yet, and the corpses are rotting. In addition, crows and vultures are feeding on them and flying around everywhere. The virus has already spread through the air."

The system paused for a moment, then continued, "The Winged Tiger Tribe and the surrounding Snake Tribe, Mad Lion Tribe, Leopard Tribe, Bear Tribe, Rabbit Tribe, Rat Tribe, and Pig Dog Tribe have all been affected. Some have fallen ill, and some have died. The Wolf Tribe is in a better situation because it lives deep in the Sky Mist Canyon, at a high altitude, and is protected by large areas of poisonous vegetation and forests. However, it still has to come into contact with the outside world and is inevitably infected."

Su Xiyue gasped. Mu Han, it was Mu Han who caused all this trouble again.

This madman never stops. For that scoundrel Chu Youyou, a once loyal and devoted man has become neither human nor ghost.

It's estimated that he owed Chu Youyou a debt of love in his past life, and he's destined to repay it in this life.

Although she knew that Mu Han killed those orcs in self-defense, she couldn't help but feel angry.

Moreover, airborne transmission is a million times more terrifying than poisoning; it's practically impossible to prevent.

She turned and ran back to the main room, then quickly went upstairs with a "thump, thump, thump".

He put Silver Blade, Black Fiend, Frost Flame, and the eight snake cubs who were sleeping in the children's room, as well as Xuanba and Xuanyan who were sleeping on another bed, into the space.

They still put the bed inside.

The babies are still young and have weak immune systems, making them most susceptible to infection.

The space isolates her from everything outside and prevents airborne transmission, making it safer inside than outside; it is her last bastion.

She just needs to be careful when she goes in, so she doesn't bring the virus in.

Several beastmen caught up instantly. At first, they were confused, but when they saw this scene, they immediately realized what was going on.

Yue'er was worried that her baby would get infected, so she wanted to protect the baby first. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Qi's expression changed slightly when he realized that Zhuohua was still in his room. He quickly slipped downstairs and said, "Yue'er, Zhuohua is still in my room."

Su Xiyue immediately rushed downstairs and went to Bai Qi's room, where she also brought Zhuohua inside.

There were wooden cabins in the space, so Zhuohua slept in her older brothers' beds; she was still young, so it didn't matter. After settling the children in, they were all settled.

She forced herself to calm down, and combining her knowledge from her past life with the conditions of the beast world, she quickly issued orders to the men:

"Nightfeather, immediately isolate the orcs who show symptoms in a place far away from water sources and residential areas. Temporary shelters can be set up. Uninfected orcs should stay at home as much as possible and not visit each other."

"Mo Lin, take men to cut mugwort tonight, cut as much as you can, and when you get back, boil water in a large pot and have everyone wash their hands and faces with the mugwort water. Also, soak all the animal skin clothing in the mugwort water before drying it."

"Qingzhu, you are in charge of inspecting the tribe's water source to ensure it is not polluted. At the same time, organize people to boil water, and everyone must drink boiled water."

"Xuanming, go and inform all the orcs in the tribe that they are forbidden from going out to hunt or having contact with other tribes in the near future."

"Feng Su, you are in charge of leading people to spread lime disinfection throughout the tribe, especially in public areas."

"Xuanyuan Ming, come with me later to examine the patient's symptoms. I need to determine the specific illness."

She finished speaking in one breath, her gaze sweeping over everyone, "Any more questions?"

Ye Ling, Mo Lin, Qing Zhu, Xuan Ming, Feng Su, and Xuan Yuan Ming exchanged glances and replied in unison, "No."

They then got busy with their own tasks.

Seeing that he wasn't mentioned, Bai Qi's gaze immediately turned to Su Xiyue, and he couldn't help but ask, "Yue'er, what am I responsible for?"

"You come with me."

Su Xiyue pulled him into the house, took out a few pieces of plain linen that she had woven in her spare time, and then took out bone needles and fine linen thread to start sewing a mask.

Animal hides are not breathable, so linen is the best choice.

Bai Qi watched her cut the burlap into small pieces and asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Her fingers flew as she quickly sewed: "Masks. Animal hides are too stuffy and not breathable; this can block droplet transmission."

She looked up at Bai Qi and said, "Quickly ask about the situation in Beast King City."

Bai Qi shook his head: "It happened too suddenly, I haven't had time to ask yet."

Su Xiyue handed him the sewn mask. "Beast King City is densely populated. If an outbreak occurs, the consequences will be unimaginable. Go there yourself, take this with you, and handle it the way I tell you."

Bai Qi took the mask and gently hooked his fingertip into her palm: "Little Yue'er, are you worried about me?"

Her face flushed slightly, and at that moment, it seemed as if the barrier between them had disappeared. She gave him a playful glare and said, "Stop being so cheeky. Remember to wash your hands with mugwort water after contact with patients, and boil your clothes to disinfect them."

Bai Qi chuckled, then suddenly leaned down and stole a kiss on her lips: "Yes, my little Yue'er."

"Hurry up and go, don't dawdle."

She pushed him irritably and urged, "If anything happens, let me know. Don't worry, Zhuohua, I'll take good care of you."

Bai Qi gave a soft "hmm," glanced at her reluctantly, then turned and transformed into a ten-tailed celestial fox, disappearing into the night.

Two figures quickly appeared and followed.

These were the two Beast King City guards, hidden in the shadows, ready to obey orders at any time.

.........

Over here, Su Xiyue saw that Bai Qi had left, but she continued making masks without stopping.

There wasn't much hemp at home; it was mostly the stuff Bai Qi had brought from Beast King City last time.

Most of them were twisted into hemp ropes for building houses in the tribe, and some were used elsewhere.

Only a small portion is left, which is then processed and woven into linen.

Although the quantity is not large, it is enough to make masks.

Actually, the best material for making masks is gauze, and the best disinfectant is alcohol.

Unfortunately, this is the ancient beast world, where such things are impossible.

Su Xiyue worked through the night to make over a hundred burlap masks, keeping some for her own family.

The rest were distributed by Xuanyuan Ming.
