Gal frowned, and the cat Dodo noticed something was amiss.
She finally spoke up, "What are you worried about?" Gal didn't seem like the type to frown for no reason.
Gal sat in front of CatDodo, trying to express his concern through drawing. It was clear that White Tiger City also relied on this river. However, its location made it seem vulnerable to manipulation. If someone were to exploit this river, it would inevitably lead to the destruction of everyone in White Tiger City.
"It seems I'll have to arrange for a group of people to maintain it when I get back." As for how to make good use of this river, that's a problem Gal needs to solve when he gets back.
CatDodo looked at him with secret amazement. She never expected that Gal, who once looked like a rootless beastman, would grow so quickly and become such an outstanding city lord.
In response to Yu Jia'er's concerns, she had some ideas. In fact, it was about building a moat, which would further enhance the city's security and make it easier for everyone to draw water.
At the same time, she felt that the city's drinking water also needed some treatment... Right, she had to think about it; modern textbooks mentioned that drinking water needs to go through filtration, sterilization, and disinfection.
It seems there are some rather rudimentary methods to improve the cleanliness of drinking water. She'll tell Gal once she's figured out a solution; perhaps that will put people at ease a bit.
Although we're supposed to be going back to White Tiger City, it's actually quite a distance from here, so it'll probably take a few days to get back.
Seeing this, Maoduo decided to slow down for a few days and camp here, so the snake cubs could finally relax. Children are most susceptible to illness.
Of course, she wasn't quite sure how resistant these orc cubs were...
Night falls, and all is quiet. Many people are drifting off to sleep.
The barely perceptible footsteps were approaching a certain point with absolute certainty, and they knelt before Bai Na.
"It's getting late, let's make our move." Bai Na smiled, but his eyes were devoid of warmth as he looked at Bai Hu City, filled only with possessiveness and a desire to destroy.
There's no reason for anyone else to pick up something he doesn't want!
CatDodo and his group quickly returned to the city.
Two or three days, neither long nor short. Upon his return, Gal immediately threw himself into the work of city construction and other tasks, keeping him extremely busy.
As for Maoduoduo, he focused entirely on researching drinking water filtration and disinfection experiments, vowing to find a solution. He was also studying the layout of White Tiger City and considering the construction of its moat.
As for the snake cubs, they were allowed to play freely. Sometimes, when they were obedient, they would come over to help Mao Duoduo with chores, or learn to weave bamboo baskets as Mao Duoduo had taught them.
Yes, yes, they are such good cubs, they absolutely cannot cause trouble for their dear mother. Mother really likes the red soil in that cave, so if they make a few more bamboo baskets, Mother won't be in a rush when she goes to carry them.
CatDodo is also extremely busy.
The wait until it really stopped was because Snake Three was found to be sick and had developed a high fever.
Snake One and Snake Two, nervous and frightened, came over to call her. While Cat Duoduo was examining Snake Three, they were still in tears, showing none of their usual clever and meticulous demeanor.
"Mother, is Snake Three going to die?"
"I don't want Snake Three to die. Although he's clumsy and can't transform, he's often mistaken for a wild animal and people want to eat him. It would be too much trouble for me to protect him..."
Both Snake One and Snake Two were genuinely nervous and afraid of their younger brother.
Snake Three was delirious from the fever, but even so, he vaguely heard the voices of Snake One and Snake Two, who muttered unhappily, "Snake Three, you're not that useless."
"Yes, yes, you're the best. So, you must get better." Snake One and Snake Two carefully held each other's hands, which Cat Duoduo noticed.
She wasn't really sure about Snake Three's situation, so she could only ask Snake One and Snake Two what Snake Three had been in contact with.
Snake Three is currently bedridden with a fever, blisters on her body, and is extremely dizzy. She is simply brewing some herbal medicine to stop the fever and reduce her suffering.
To my surprise, when I asked around, I found out that two-thirds of the females in the city had developed high fevers and blisters on their bodies. The cubs were the same.
Suddenly, a tense and uneasy atmosphere permeated the city. Everyone was like a string that had been pulled taut, and one day it would completely collapse and fall into chaos.
CatDodo was genuinely worried. Seeing that the group exhibiting these symptoms was primarily females and kittens, she became uneasy and continued her investigation, discovering that some males were also affected.
Of course, this type of male is also relatively weak. To the average person, it seems like a fairly reasonable type of infection.
Even so, after the number of infections increased, Mao Duoduo arranged for people to brew fever-reducing herbal medicine, but it was to no avail. It could only alleviate everyone's suffering to some extent, but it could not cure the disease.
Such days lasted only three days before one of the orcs couldn't bear it any longer and smashed the medicine, saying in despair, "Give up on me, I'm afraid I'll infect everyone. Kill me, I don't want to hurt anyone."
This statement seems to be a warning sign.
Not only did he die, but in the following days, females and cubs also died one after another.
Among them, Qiao Wei's child, which she had given birth to with great difficulty, died. After struggling for several days, Sen, who was being comforted by everyone to protect the cubs, went insane. They found an opportunity to lock him in a cave. Although he seemed to be under control, his body was weakening day by day.
A beastman told CatDodo that if this situation continued, Sen would surely die.
Mao Duoduo didn't know what to say. The pressure suddenly became too much for her; just looking at the dead female and her cubs made her eyes sting.
Even the comforting words from Gal and the others couldn't calm CatDodo down. She chose to put pressure on herself, investigating day and night, considering all possibilities, and trying many different herbal remedies.
At best, the best we can do is reduce the pain and prevent people from experiencing more negative emotions, but even that is futile, as it leaves no sign of improvement.
As a result, White Tiger City, which had shown signs of revival, withered away in an instant.
The number of orcs venturing out of the city during the day is pitifully small. The number of people coming to White Tiger City to seek refuge is also dwindling.
Even the number of orcs originally assigned to various construction and hunting tasks gradually decreased. Gal even took matters into his own hands, shouldering a significant amount of work to ensure everyone's safety, much to the anxiety and worry of CatDodo.
In the afternoon, she brewed the herbal medicine again, hoping that this time the improved prescription could completely cure everyone and make the sick White Tiger City fully recover.
However, an accident still happened while she was waiting to deliver the medicine.
"I don't want your medicine, get out of here."
