Campfire Shelter

"Let's go quickly."

Colin sniffed his nose and smelled various smells in the air. He could clearly feel that the scent of lycanthropy patients appeared everywhere in the city.

The number is increasing.

Moreover, due to the progress of the ceremony, the lycanthropy was much stronger than usual.

When they arrived at the original city lord's home, Colin immediately ordered that the clergy of the Holy Healing Church who had just escaped together be interrogated.

Soon, he got some news.

"The mechanism of lycanthropy infection is still unclear, but one thing is certain: it is likely to occur in people who are extremely hungry and cannot get food."

"So most of the time 'lycanthropy' occurs outside the city, and a small number of cases appear inside the city, because as long as there is a certain amount of food and a full stomach, there is a high probability that you will not get sick."

"And in this symptom of extreme hunger, if you are emotionally aroused, such as getting angry and angry, the possibility of an explosion is even higher."

Extreme hunger + more agitated negative emotions?

Colin didn't expect that the outbreak of symptoms was so simple. At the same time, he also understood why it was said before that it usually only occurs in groups such as the poor.

Because only those who are hungry will face corresponding troubles.

"This is just picking on the weak. No wonder the 'book of numerology' mentioned that there will be a large-scale outbreak of lycanthropy among the refugees outside the city tomorrow."

Colin sat in a room in the castle, sighed, and looked at the clergy of the Holy Healing Church who were tied up by the soldiers:

"Besides, what exactly is 'lycanthropy'? Is it spread by you?"

"No, we don't know where it came from. In addition to hunger, the body is contaminated with too much blood of lycanthropy patients. If it accidentally seeps into wounds and other places, it can also lead to infection. Father Laurentian said Infected for this reason."

"So, according to you, as long as you can eat enough, you can avoid a large-scale outbreak of lycanthropy?"

"Yes, as long as you are not hungry, the probability of being infected will be smaller."

Hearing this, Colin was silent for a moment, then turned to look at Calder: "How many days can the food in this city last?"

"If we collect all the food in the city and supply it only to these people in the castle, even if there are 10,000 more people, it will last at least half a month."

Colin waved his hand and interrupted him: "No, I'm talking about the refugees in the entire Blackstone City and outside."

"Then if the distribution goes smoothly, it will probably last a week."

After a pause, Warden Calder added: "But this is almost impossible. There are tens of thousands of people in the city, and there are nearly ten thousand people outside the city."

He secretly expressed that it would be impossible to do a good job on site with such a large-scale assignment.

Kalder, who has participated in various crusade battles several times and is responsible for logistics, knows that this kind of distribution is very difficult.

There will definitely be people hiding food, and there will definitely be uneven distribution.

If those people knew that their food was being distributed to poor people such as refugees outside the city, it would only trigger terrible riots.

Coupled with the constant panic caused by "lycanthropy", the situation will only become more chaotic.

"It's a bit troublesome. If we can't distribute the food well, we probably won't be able to handle it when all those people transform into lycanthropy."

Colin couldn't help but pinch his forehead. He was not familiar with this kind of thing and couldn't give any effective advice.

He also didn't expect that the biggest problem he had to face in dealing with these "lycanthropes" was not how to kill them, but the shortage of supplies.

If it is not handled well and famine occurs, it will directly lead to a large-scale outbreak of "lycanthropy".

One or two of these things may not be good

But as the numbers increased, and there was no way to escape, it was a dead end.

"Let's do our best while ensuring our own food supply."

After a pause, Helena added: "The conversations here are strictly prohibited from spreading. If I find out, I will hang anyone.

"Now, let those soldiers go out to collect food and use the most severe means to stop the greedy behavior."

"yes."

Warden Calder said nothing more. If it were normal, he would definitely find a way to push these troubles to others.

But at this time, he was also deeply involved, and he was really a "tall man".

Then he wouldn't trust others to hand over the matter.

He had also tried people outside the city before, but now the inside and outside are indeed closed and there is no way to escape.

"Don't worry, once this crisis is over, I will ask my father to convey your achievements to His Majesty the King for you, and let you become a member of the 'Knights of Virtue'."

"yes."

Kalder nodded, and after accepting the order, he quickly left here.

"I'll go too."

Colin was a little worried and followed them together, intending to see how they would deal with it.

If he stays still, he will feel a strong sense of unease.

It's as if he can feel that Holy Healing Church thing constantly staring at him

"Sir, are you sure that things will really turn around after seven days?" Calder couldn't help but ask. To be honest, he was doubtful about this statement.

Because he really couldn't think of any way to deal with the monster that was suspected to be summoned by the ancient god's summoning ceremony.

However, it seems that the person in front of me is the only special case since the emergence of "lycanthropy".

His case is just as mysterious.

After escaping from the dungeon, he returned for unknown reasons, and then turned back into a normal person.

Then he said like the savior that all crises would be solved in a few days.

To be honest, if Helena, the son of a great nobleman, hadn't vouched for it, he felt that Colin's suspicion was the real big one.

Because according to him, after a few days of delay, under completely unrestricted conditions, the thing in the church might completely descend.

At that time, there was nothing that could stop it.

Everyone dies, no exceptions!

It's better to take advantage of now and try to fight.

"I can't tell you the specifics, but you just have to believe that the problem will be effectively resolved by then."

To be honest, Colin didn't dare to speak too fully.

He didn't know how the Campfire Company planned to deal with it, whether it would solve it directly, or use its own hands to solve it.

The only certainty is that after a few days, I will be able to return to reality.

When the time comes, I have to go out and ask my colleagues in the company: In the era of cold weapons, how to deal with a ground creature that is likely to be larger than a blue whale.

Then take advantage of those seven days to speed up the upgrade, maybe you can get some lethal weapons.

Not long after, the thousand soldiers in the castle were divided into more than a dozen teams and moved towards various places in the city.

Their only purpose is to collect food.

On the other hand, Ke Lin led a group of people with a lot of food and went straight to the city gate, intending to see if he could solve the problem of refugees outside the city first.
