Chapter 140

Baiye Town, which was gloomy just a moment ago, has been completely transformed with Ye Bai's return.

The [disinfection spraying aircraft] from the Alchemy School flew over the town. These alchemical creations, loaded with diluted potions, were the most extensive and fastest-acting of the three major schools' technologies in stopping the spread of the plague.

The potions inside can be replenished after they are used up, but the cost of each one is more than 10 gold coins, which is not affordable under normal circumstances.

"Come on, bring it in. Be careful with it. It's full of medicine. Don't break the bottle..."

The probability of contracting the plague is related to the individual's level. Now, those who still have spare strength in the territory are basically higher-level military units and professionals. At this time, all the soldiers in Baiye Town who were not infected with the plague came to the open space and were busy carrying the special medicine that Ye Bai brought back from Landu City.

The team of ground dragon knights responsible for escorting the supplies placed the supplies at a distance from the territory in advance because of Ye Bai's advance explanation and the situation in Baiye Town seen from afar, and then retreated a distance, waiting for the other party to take over.

At this time, the escort team's mission had actually ended, but the group did not leave immediately.

Large-scale transactions like Ye Bai's were rare in the Merchant Guild. Coupled with the magical "magic donkey", everyone had a deep impression of the employer. Now that they arrived at their destination and saw a territory hit by the plague, their curiosity was pushed to the peak.

Standing at a safe distance of a hundred meters, the group saw from afar that the boxes of goods were opened, revealing a large number of medicines in glass bottles.

Combined with the cheers and excitement of the people in the territory as they carried the goods, the Merchant Guild Guards quickly figured out that the boxes clearly contained special medicines that could quickly cure various diseases.

These special medicines are not cheap at all. One bottle is worth at least twenty silver coins, which is enough for a mid-level professional's entire monthly income.

"These potions...refugee camps?"

The guards looked in astonishment at these potions, which were once only available to nobles, and were directed to quickly carry them into the refugee camp.

Those are refugees who the adults can abandon without hesitation...

The entire escort fell into silence. They felt stunned, shocked and puzzled.

But they also saw that as those potions, which were extremely expensive for civilians, were used without hesitation, the people of the territory praised their lord as if they had been reborn. Even though they were hundreds of meters away, they could still hear the incessant sound.

Slowly, those emotions slowly turned into an indescribable admiration.

If they were in Ye Bai's shoes, they might not make the same choice as Ye Bai, but that would not stop them from admiring such people.

"Our mission is accomplished, let's go back."

After a long time, the captain of the guard gave an order and turned around and returned.

Miraculously, the knights soon discovered that on their return journey, the ground dragon beasts under them had become brisk and free-spirited in their steps, unlike when they came, when they were particularly quiet and well-behaved. They had all regained their former personalities.

In the refugee camp, Ye Bai, who was directing the treatment activities, suddenly heard a system prompt in his ear:

[The trade route between 'Landu City and White Night Town' has been opened. ]

[Foresighted Lord, you have successfully opened up your territory's fifth outbound route. Your territory gains an additional 2 productivity points!]

You have opened trade with a Chaos School capital (Landu City). Your territory will gain 3 additional production points per month, and your Chaos School tendency will increase by 10.

In addition to the prompt that the trade route had been opened, Ye Bai also received another series of favorability prompts.

[Markus, Senior Guard Captain of the Merchant Guild, has an impression of you +10]

[Sonia, a senior guard member of the Merchant Guild, has an impression of you +10]

Merchant Guild...

Ye Bai: Huh?

Although he didn't know the reason, an increase in favorability was certainly not bad news. Ye Bai was just surprised for a moment and then forgot about it.

There is a recognition of class differences among NPCs, but in the eyes of Ye Bai, a lord player, the value of every person is incomparable to game gold coins.

Lord players with the support of civilization can also drive many players to participate in territory construction. The only people Ye Bai can trust and drive are his own hardworking subjects, and of course no one can be left behind.

Fortunately, Ye Bai returned in time. Half of the town within the city walls was infected with the plague, and no one in the refugee camp outside the city was spared. However, the territory's previous medical and material support prevented the territory from reaching the worst situation - refugees died from the plague, and the town began to see residents migrating.

Even though almost 70% of the 1,000 people in the territory are now infected with the plague, a bottle of special medicine can eliminate the disease.

This is a fantasy world after all!

There is no need for progressive lifting of control and gradual recovery. When all disease carriers are cured, the plague will naturally no longer be able to spread.

Moreover, even after experiencing a plague, the loyalty of the residents of Baiye Town did not drop much, and was still above 90. In fact, because of Ye Bai's large-scale use of special medicines this time, there was further additional growth.

After Ye Bai fed Lucy the special medicine, he was satisfied to see that her condition changed from "infected" to "recovering". At this time, in the refugee camp, other patients were also fed the special medicine one by one with the help of herbalists and soldiers.

"Felix! Wear proper protection! If you get infected, you'll waste the precious potion the lord brought back!"

Hearing what the herbalist apprentice, Lida, said, the red-haired boy running back and forth in the refugee camp immediately replied, "My constitution won't be infected by the plague. That's what the Lord said!"

"Huh?" Lida choked, then she and Felix looked at Ye Bai for confirmation.

Seeing this, Ye Bai nodded with a helpless look.

The difference in physique can be seen from the fact that high-level warriors and professionals are not easily infected. However, Felix is ​​a "sunshine boy". After his burning blood was strengthened by the crystal of the Snake Demon Lord, any virus entering his body will be burned to death instantly, so there is naturally no question of infection.

After hearing this, Lyda relaxed her frown, while Felix continued to run around the refugee camp happily.

Everything was going on in an orderly manner. Seeing this, Ye Bai stepped out of the refugee camp and met the excited Carrie, Dilina and Blaise.

Suddenly, she showed a familiar smile to the three of them:

"Thanks to you all for your hard work during my absence."

The three of them paused in their excited steps, and came back to their senses after a moment, as if they had finally confirmed that Ye Bai in front of them was not an illusion.

Carrie's expression changed in a complicated way, and finally she smiled widely; Dilina waved her hands with an expression that said "don't be cheesy"; Blaise pounded his chest, and his tense face finally relaxed.

Accompanied by three confidants and followed by Ottophis, Ye Bai walked into the city gate of the territory which was already wide open.

"Come, let me see what happened in the territory while I was away..."

Since the outbreak of the plague in Baiye Town, all interstellar civilizations have entered a wait-and-see state. This wait-and-see level has gradually decreased as Baiye Town's score has been gradually approached by Ruilan Town and Luofei Town.

The term "epidemic" is not new to Civilization players.

In addition to the civilization-level territories that are being managed as a priority, there are also many organizations and individual lord players under these civilizations. These scattered lord players have helped the civilizations they belong to explore many useful experiences to a great extent.

For example, when expanding the population, you must pay attention to related medical issues. Once an epidemic breaks out, it must be controlled immediately, otherwise the entire territory will be infected. At that time, a large number of people will die and residents will migrate, which will be a devastating blow to any territory.

White Night Town, which has always been the fastest-growing town, has always been regarded as an important reference by interstellar civilizations. Interstellar civilizations did not expect that one day they would see White Night Town shrouded in plague.

Even though the agents operating in White Night Town deliberately moved around the town after discovering the plague, accelerating the spread of the disease, the expert group predicted that this would only bring some trouble to White Night Town.

Unexpectedly, the plague would eventually spread to the entire town, causing the lords who were planning to build refugee camps to increase the population to hesitate.

However, everyone soon discovered the fundamental reason, which was that Lord Bai Ye had not appeared for a long time.

Ever since a mysterious man who looked like Bai Ye appeared in Landu City last time, there has been no news that could contact this mysterious number one player in the game.

There were naturally many speculations at the beginning, but as Bai Ye continued to disappear, all interstellar civilizations were not optimistic about the future of Bai Ye Town.

Even with the rich heritage of the territory, Baiye Town was able to hold on much longer than any other territory. However, as time passed, the experts could easily judge that it was not far from a great decline.

This can be clearly seen from the Lords Ranking List, where the score of Baiye Town has increased from a few hundred a day in the past, to dozens a day later, and now to an imperceptible single-digit score increase every day.

Therefore, except for a small number of civilizations with abundant manpower on Blue Star, most civilizations' observation of White Night Town has evolved from the initial fixed and continuous attention every day to the current once-a-day check.

In the distance, a player who was about to complete his routine reporting task for the day came to the wilderness near Baiye Town, gazing at the town that was once prosperous but now beginning to fall into ruin.

Everything looked the same: the soldiers at the city gate, the refugee camp with smoke rising, and the busy herbalist.

Baiye Town has tried its best to take the most effective preventive measures, but it cannot cure the large-scale epidemic that has already occurred.

The agent, who was about to record that everything was normal, suddenly fixed his gaze... What was that mosquito-like dot flying over White Night Town?

Soon, not only this one player noticed the abnormal situation in Baiye Town, but players rushing over from other directions also noticed the changes and hurried forward to investigate.

Afterwards, all the explorers were stopped by the warriors of Baiye Town:

"Leave immediately. The Lord has ordered that White Night Town is not open to the public."

"Lord...Bai Ye is back?!"

It didn't take long for this news to appear on StarNet News and became the hottest news at the moment.

Even after a month, even though the territory was judged by experts to be on the decline, when Bai Ye appeared again, this mysterious and powerful man who had repeatedly shocked the civilizations of the universe still had the popularity he deserved.

——As long as the first place on the lord ranking list does not change hands, the attention on her will not decrease.

Everyone who saw the news was wondering: Facing a territory ravaged by the plague, what kind of changes would Bai Ye's return bring? Could she create another miracle this time?

Various investigative eyes once again focused on Baiye Town.

The territory is closed to outside players, but a lot of information can be obtained by observing from a distance, such as the alchemical equipment flying over White Night Town, which is very similar to a drone, and the refugees in the refugee camp who are beginning to be allowed to enter the inner city.

Of course, there is also the most obvious and intuitive one——

On the Lords' Ranking List, the score of White Night Town, which had been stagnant, began to move again.
