"That's right." Ye Feng nodded.
"Really?" Angelica turned her head to look at Lily, and she would only believe it if the deputy head of the Royal Knights nodded.
The ghost knows if Princess Black Heart deliberately frightened her for fun.
"Really." Lily's words shattered Anjelica's last chance.
In fact, Lily felt a shock in her heart at this time.
Because, she didn't know until now that the star meteor disease was actually a plague!
"This plague has an incubation period, and it won't break out for the time being," Ye Feng said.
Hearing this, Anjelica just let go of her hanging heart.
"As long as you know about the plague, don't make it public. After we return to the city, we will arrange relevant personnel to study the solution as soon as possible."
"That's right," Lily said.
"I know what to do." Angelica was calm on the surface, but her heart was in a mess.
She never imagined that the person she rescued with kindness was actually the source of the plague!
"Lily, we may not be able to return to the city until later." Ye Feng sighed softly, "If this trouble is not resolved, there will be endless troubles."
348 Sorry, we are late
Lily nodded, expressing that she had no objection. She was originally here to assist Ye Feng, so naturally she was the main one.
What's more, the plague is never a trivial matter. In some small countries, a plague breaks out, and the country may be wiped out overnight!
Even in a big country, an outbreak of a plague can cause serious damage to the vitality.
Thinking of the worst possible situation, Lily became a little uneasy.
Unlike Ye Feng, an outsider, this is the country she was born in, and protecting her own country is a matter of course.
Moreover, it would undoubtedly be excellent for Alicia if the harm of the plague could be minimized.
(Those who cause trouble to Alicia's sister will be killed without mercy.)
A coldness flashed in Lili's eyes, and she sentenced the mysterious man to death in her heart.
"Then, will that person really spread the plague in our village?" Angelica's face turned pale, and her clenched hands kept shaking.
Of course, she knew the horror of the plague. A village more than [-] kilometers away from Aoma Village had a plague outbreak a few years ago. In the village of nearly a thousand people, dozens of people died in the end.
The people who survived the plague are now living in Aoma Village. Every time they hear these people mention the hellish scene, Angelica will feel horrified.
She never imagined that the plague she was so afraid of would appear in Aoma Village!
And he is an infected person!
If she had known that the mysterious man was the source of the pathogen, she would have killed him with a single sword.
"Undoubtedly yes." Ye Feng said firmly.
Hearing this, Anjelica's face turned even paler.
(It's all my fault, if I'm not meddling...)
"That's not your fault. Even if you didn't rescue him, what should have happened will still happen."
Seemingly seeing that she was blaming herself, Ye Feng comforted her.
The opening of this weird dungeon is not something that a village girl can interfere with. It's the same with her or without her. The mysterious man will still survive and spread the plague.
"I..." Anjelica hesitated to speak, but she still couldn't pass the test in her heart.
Ye Feng ignored her, turned his head to look at Lily, and said calmly: "Lily, what means do you think that person will use to spread the plague?"
Blinking her eyes, Lily pondered for a while: "If it were me, I would start from the water source, for example, throwing plague-infected corpses into wells and pools."
"It's too much!" Anjelica looked over suddenly and shouted.
"It's just a hypothesis, why are you excited?" Lily gave her a blank look, and the latter immediately shrank her neck, trembling.
"Is it a water source? Is the efficiency a little low?" There are at least a dozen wells in a village, and it is definitely not efficient to get them one by one, and it is easy to be discovered.
Seeing a dead body in the well, who would dare to drink the water below?
Lily shook her head: "It's very efficient."
"Why did you say that?" Ye Feng was slightly puzzled.
"It's close to the sea, and the underground water is basically salty. It's only a matter of time before all the people get infected as long as the source of the pollution is diverted from someone else's place."
Lily said.
Hearing this, Ye Feng suddenly realized, and a flash of lightning flashed in his mind: "Yes, why didn't I think of it."
Villages near the sea are short of fresh water, because they are too close to the sea, the groundwater is basically salty, and it cannot be drunk without distillation.
The cost of distillation is not low, and it does not make much sense to drink this kind of water.
On the contrary, it will save a lot of trouble if it is diverted from other places.
"Yes, the drinking water in several villages near us is drained from Arashiyama through culverts." Angelica said.
"Where did you build the reservoir?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes..." Angelica nodded, and then thought of something, "Did that person go to the reservoir!?"
Her expression was full of anxiety and panic.
If the reservoir is polluted, the area is doomed!
"Very likely. Angelica, take us to the reservoir immediately!" Ye Feng said hastily.
Lily clenched her small fists tightly, murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
She will never let such a crazy person go!
When a group of people went out to the village entrance, they happened to see a beast cart and immediately requisitioned it, setting off for the Lanshan Reservoir.
It was a little far away from Aoma Village, and it took 15 minutes for the animal cart to drive there at full speed.
"Then I can only walk with my legs." After getting off the car, Ye Feng looked up, and there was a big mountain there. Their destination was halfway up the mountain, and the road leading to the mountain was very small and steep, and beast vehicles couldn't pass through it.
Angelica led the way. As Hai's daughter, her strength is not bad, her physical strength is also very good, and she can climb the mountain very fast.
Ye Feng and Lili followed closely behind, these mountain roads were nothing to them.
Suddenly, Angelica stopped and shouted, "There seems to be a person lying there!"
Ye Feng and Lili looked around and saw something lying on the mountain road above.
After careful observation, the two decided that it was a person, at least a humanoid creature.
"I'll go and have a look." Ye Feng said.
"I'll go too." Lily was worried about letting her go alone.
"Yeah." Ye Feng nodded, with Lily following her, it was like an extra insurance.
The two proceeded cautiously, while Angelica stayed where she was and waited.
"He's dead." Coming to the humanoid object, Ye Feng finally saw Lushan's true face.
He was a young man in his late twenties. He had lost his breath and his body was stiff.
Not only that, but on the exposed skin, there are many black five-pointed stars.
"Anjelica, come here and see if it's that man." Ye Feng waved downwards.
The latter came up quickly.
Looking down, he couldn't help exclaiming: "Isn't this Dybala from the tavern!?"
"It doesn't seem to be the case. This person should have been hijacked here." Ye Feng half-closed his eyes, "The purpose is obvious, to find a water source, then pollute it, and spread the plague."
The easiest way for outsiders to find the water source here is to let the villagers lead the way.
This man named Dybala was obviously killed after being used by the other party.
"What a cruel guy..." Angelica covered her mouth, trembling slightly.
"Let's go there quickly, maybe there's still time."
Ye Feng said.
That is to say, but judging from the stiffness of this corpse, it has been dead for at least three to five hours.
That mysterious man probably succeeded in his plot a long time ago, and fled to nowhere!
Thinking of this, Ye Feng became anxious.
"Water, there are armed villagers guarding the reservoir, yes, it should be fine, right?"
Angelica said anxiously.
Ye Feng let out a breath, then looked at her: "Those villagers, eighty-nine out of ten are completely cold."
"No, it won't be, those villagers are very powerful!" Angelica was still lucky.
Ye Feng and Lili looked at each other, and were too lazy to say anything.
Some things are better to see than to believe.
It took 2 minutes for everyone to go up the mountainside, and they could see the large reservoir not far away at a glance.
As Ye Feng expected.
Beside the reservoir, there were more than a dozen corpses lying quietly.
349 I just have a brain problem
"How could this be..." Seeing the corpses with black markings on their bodies, Anjelica's pupils constricted, her face was pale, her legs softened and she knelt on the soft grass.
Inside the corpse in front were her childhood playmates and familiar neighbors.
These people were simple and honest, they had never done anything bad, yet they were killed just like that.
The person who killed them was the mysterious man rescued by her!
At this time, Angelica was suffering in her heart, and tears flashed in her eyes.
Although Ye Feng had already said that whether she could save the mysterious man or not had nothing to do with her.
However, that person was indeed rescued by her, and she was responsible for it.
Ye Feng and Lili didn't look at those corpses from just now.
They were looking ahead, at the center of the reservoir.
There is a dark red spar the size of a fist floating in the air, and below it is a large magic circle, scarlet and weird.
"This guy is not simple." Ye Feng originally thought that the mysterious man would use corpses to create plagues, but unexpectedly, he was very high-end.
Under the action of the magic circle, the dark red spar seeped out a scarlet liquid little by little.
These liquids fell into the magic circle, making the magic circle more scarlet and weird.
Immediately afterwards, there was a gloomy atmosphere and a gray-black liquid emerged from the magic circle, and finally dripped into the reservoir, polluting the water source!
"It's not good, this magic circle has been in operation for a while." Lily said with a nervous expression, her eyes narrowed.
"Is there any way to stop it?" Ye Feng said.
"Destroy the spar that is the core." The magic circle is not Lily's field of expertise, but there are still some formation foundations.
"I'm good at this." Ye Feng smiled, she likes sabotage.
With a raised hand, [Yang Yan] flashed out.
"Burn it clean for me." She drew her sword out of its sheath, and the flames rose.
The next moment, [Yang Yan] in his hand flew out with a whistling sound and violent flames.
The target is the dark red spar in the center of the lake.
Just when [Yang Yan] was about to enter the range of the magic circle, the magic circle suddenly flashed red, forming a semicircle barrier, trying to block the sword from the outside.
But how sharp Ye Feng's flying sword is, how can it be blocked by a mere temporary barrier!
