Chapter 430: Pollution Spreads

The shout was timely, but Lynch forgot one thing.

The language was not intelligible.

Even if the farmers wanted to obey his orders, they could not understand what he was shouting with a distorted face.

So, he stretched out his right hand and shouted to stop, while watching the torches in the hands of several farmers fly out, circling in the air and drawing parabolas, and finally accurately landing on the piled grains.

As soon as the dry grains touched the flames, they burst into flames with a whoosh.

Damn, so fast.

Lynch's hair was about to explode, and he hated himself for being so slow to realize it.

The other party's purpose was so obvious, but he actually saw it now. If he could think more comprehensively, he would not let the other party succeed. He was really ashamed of the profession of detective.

Now everything is too late.

Through the tentacles of inspiration, Lynch could directly sense that the strange and mysterious filth was rising into the sky with the flames, but was blocked by the city's own isolation concept, unable to dissipate outward, and could only accumulate more and more in the city.

What a vicious gas attack.

Lynch grabbed Terry's arm and said, "Put out the fire quickly."

Terry was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Lynch suddenly changed his mind, but no matter what the reason was, it was very difficult. Unless he was prepared in advance, it would be difficult to put out the fire immediately.

Lynch actually understood, but he couldn't just watch the plague spread. He had to do something, even if it meant delaying some time for Dr. Swen to prepare. Otherwise, more than 8,000 citizens would be infected at the same time, and she would be exhausted to death and couldn't prepare so many medicines in a few hours.

The trust accumulated over the past few days played a big role.

At the critical moment, neither Terry nor his soldiers chased Lynch to explain. With a call, some soldiers stopped the farmer who was still setting fire, and the other part picked up firefighting tools to put out the fire.

Lynch felt a wonderful feeling in his heart when he was trusted by a group of plot NPCs, but he couldn't take care of himself at this time, because the fire could not be controlled.

Dry wood and raging fire, burning more and more vigorously, fully interpreting the meaning of a drop in the bucket.

No, there is not enough water.

Lynch clenched his fists tightly. In the face of natural phenomena, the power of several low-level soul-distracting people was still powerless.

We must think of a way. How can we find a large amount of water to put out the fire?

Lynch's brain was spinning rapidly, and various thoughts came to him.

But no one has the power of water. It would be great if the little deep diver was here. Unfortunately, there is only Judy now.

Wait, who said that water must be used to put out a fire?

Lynch grabbed Judy's arm fiercely: "Can you put out a fire?"

Huh? You find someone who can only set fires to put out a fire?

Several ladies showed puzzled looks, wondering if this person's morning medicine was ineffective and now he is starting to become mentally confused.

"You professional arsonists should have a way to control the fire, right? The problem now is that the fire is too big and too strong, and watering is not effective. As long as the fire is slightly... Hey, what are you doing."

Judy heard halfway, suddenly shook off Lynch's hand, and then drew strange symbols in the air with both hands.

Two strange flames immediately appeared on her left and right, floating in the air like two ghost fires, radiating scorching temperatures. Several people around even felt their lungs filled with scorching air and had to take a few steps back to relieve the heat.

But Judy seemed to be unable to feel the temperature. She easily inserted her hands into the two flames. The flames wrapped around Judy's hands and gradually condensed into lines of flames on the surface of her skin. The lines were not disordered, but combined into a strange pattern, exuding a heart-pounding oppression.

The next moment, the already scorching temperature suddenly rose, and invisible flames rose around Judy. The temperature of the flames rose steadily, and even the stone-paved square began to emit red light under the high temperature.

The opposite was the drying yard.

Originally roasted by the vigorous flames, the temperature had become quite hot, but suddenly the ambient temperature dropped rapidly. May in early summer seemed to have instantly entered the coldest winter. The people around shivered with cold, and even the flames could not covet their warmth.

[Power: Scorching, Ability: Heat Plunder]

Under the power of power, the surrounding heat was concentrated towards Judy at an alarming speed. The heat outside the range could not be transferred in time, so that the surroundings became colder and colder, and a thin layer of frost climbed on the ground next to the flame.

The loss of heat directly affected the fire, and the originally vigorous flame became weak and powerless, half-deadly wriggling on the grain pile, as if it could be blown out by a gust of wind.

"Why are you still standing there, put out the fire."

Lin Qi's roar awakened the soldiers who were stunned with their mouths wide open. Although they could not understand, as long as they were not stupid, they could guess what he was shouting. The soldiers who were shocked to stop resumed their actions again, and buckets of clean water were poured on the rapidly declining flames.

Sure enough, the loss of heat made the fire lose the power to struggle. In less than ten minutes, the fire was completely extinguished.

On the drying yard, there was only a pile of black and wet grain piles, emitting black smoke and a burnt smell.

Some of it was burned, at least half, so the situation is not optimistic.

In the perception, the mysterious filth became more and more dense, with black smoke rising up, and then blending into the air and spreading throughout the city. It did not spread until it was blocked by the city wall, but gathered inside the city wall, and finally formed a green sky curtain above the city, covering everyone in it.

Ordinary people cannot see it, but they cannot hide it from the eyes of the soul-discarding people.

The four of them looked at each other. There was no need to explain too much at this time. The appearance of the invisible sky was enough to explain everything.

Lynch is right, the contaminated grain is not for eating, but for burning. This is the final step in Old Swain's contamination of the entire city.

And it seems that this step only makes sense if the citizens personally light it. Otherwise, Old Swain and the others would have done it themselves, and there is no need to wait until now.

In real history, before this step was reached, signs of an out-of-control plague appeared in the city. Dr. Swain had to activate the final defensive measures and purify the entire city, so the testers did not experience this plague sky. But this time the progress was very fast, all the way to the point where the plague shrouded the city.

Lin Qi sighed deeply. This damn butterfly had nothing to do with its wings.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the process was interrupted at the last moment. I don’t know what the impact will be. Maybe everything is not over yet.

After telling Terry the current situation and asking him to deal with the problem of the drying ground, the four of them quickly returned to the fortress.

Dr. Swain was pouring the prepared medicine into a large bucket of water and distributing it. He was very busy.

But she still took the time to chat with the four of them.

Judging from her knowledge, the four people's efforts to stop the plague were actually very effective. The concentration of the plague sky was greatly reduced. The original effect should be about the same as eating grains or being bitten. The onset of symptoms would occur in three or four hours. However, after the concentration is reduced, at least It takes twelve hours for the onset of symptoms to occur.

However, once the disease occurs, everything will be out of control, and the final insurance measures will be activated. Although there will be no army to make up for the damage this time, the ghoul army will also enter the scene, and it will take less than twelve hours to purify everything, including Si Dr. Wen himself.

This time...

The four of them had a very strange feeling. This time coincided with the time in the strange object's memories. At noon on the fifth day, the city was completely purified. No matter whether it was sad or happy, everything would eventually come to an end.

Everything has its own destiny.

Lin Qi smiled bitterly. The fruit harvest outside the city will have to wait until tomorrow, but the epidemic will break out on a large scale tonight.

It's too late.
