Chapter 282: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Plague, war, famine, and undead are the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse in the propaganda of the Light Church. Their arrival will bring the apocalypse.

The last one, the Undead Empire, firmly refuses to admit it. Their undead disaster is just a way of war, which is controllable and does not fall into the category of natural disasters, but whoever dares to disobey will definitely bring them the apocalypse.

Whether the Undead Empire admits it or not is not important. What is important is that everyone believes it. And the plague, war, and famine that are on par with the undead disaster are all very terrible disasters, among which the plague is the worst.

Once, a serious plague occurred in a region. Out of ten million people, a full two-thirds died. All the administrative systems in this region collapsed. In the end, only those closed villages and towns survived.

Since then, this region has formed a situation dominated by closed city-states, with autonomous territories everywhere. With millions of people, there are over 600 city-states and autonomous territories. The territory managed by each city lord and governor is not as big as a town in some large empires.

This region is now called the Bird Alliance, meaning there are as many city-states as bird nests.

The reason for this political characteristic is the plague.

The Light Church can expand in the main plane and become the main religion, and the plague is one of the most important factors, because the power of holy light has a special effect on purification, and the most effective way to deal with the plague is purification.

Clean food, water, clothing, bedding, and living environment can reduce the spread of the plague, and holy light can also kill the source of the plague. In this way, where there is the Light Church, the plague can be controlled, otherwise it will get out of control.

Under these circumstances, whatever Goddess of Redemption, Goddess of Harvest, God of Disease, God of Healing, etc., are not easy to use. To strangle the plague, the most important thing is isolation and purification, controlling the source, and preventing spread.

Over time, people converted to the Light Church one after another. Those who did not convert either hid in closed regions to form their own unity or died out.

Plague, war, and famine are often complementary. Plague leads to famine, famine leads to war, and war leads to plague and famine. Once out of control, the world will be in chaos.

Anthony tried his best to suppress the famine and not let it get out of control, at least not to the extent of triggering war and plague. However, it seems useless. The believers of the Goddess of Harvest were infected and even brought the plague to another plane.

The plague has another more troublesome point, which is unpredictability. No one knows what the next plague will be. It is not like war and famine, which can be predicted by preparing more food and equipment.

Just like now, the patient spat out a pile of bloody things and fell to the ground and died. Dakwen racked his brains and couldn't remember what plague this was.

Could this be a brand new plague? If so, then it's troublesome. Before a cure is found, many people may need to die.

At this time, the God of Knowledge needs to take action. Negris came over confidently and looked, and soon its face bittered: "What plague is this? Never seen it."

A plague that even the God of Knowledge hasn't seen must be a new plague.

"I don't recognize it, it must be a new plague. Does anyone recognize it? If not, I'm going to start researching," Negris looked around.

Looked at Luna, looked at Lisa, looked at Lamo, but didn't look at Ang, because this is not a problem of farming, Ang shouldn't know.

"Insect." Ang came over, took a look, and said.

"Insect? What insect? Do you recognize this plague? Go, go, go, don't make trouble. This is a plague, not fertilizer for you to farm," Negris said irritably.

This skeleton is obsessed. Everything is connected to insects. Is he short of fertilizer again?

Ang ignored it, stepped down with a footprint, and the pile of bright red mucus changed rapidly, appearing small dots one by one.

These dots are very small, smaller than mosquitoes, but they are alive, swimming rapidly, then crawling, crawling out of the mucus, and flying up. They flew less than thirty centimeters, and under Ang's Death Aura, they exhausted their lives and fell to the ground like raindrops.

Soon, a pile of corpses of small flying insects accumulated on the ground, each as fine as dust, but there were too many, densely packed and piled higher and higher.

Negris gasped, remembering when it encountered the insect-repelling master for the first time, the sand thief who was treated as an egg incubator.

When Ang broke that sand thief, a pile of finger-sized eggs burst out of his body. Could it be that this pile of bright red mucus is also eggs? Just because it's too small, it looks like a lump of mucus?

As the insects hatched continuously, the pile of mucus became less and less. When the last bit was left, Ang crushed the Death Aura.

Without the acceleration of the Death Aura, the hatched insects flew up, no longer dying, but began to look for fresh things.

However, Ang turned on the Death Aura, and the fresh things ran hundreds of meters away. Those left nearby were some that were not fresh. In the end, Ang fished a live fish from the waterway and threw it over.

The insects sensed the living thing and rushed up frantically, and the mouthparts pierced in.

Ang came over, pointed his finger at the fish, and after a while, the fish also spat out a pile of bright red mucus.

Negris's face changed greatly: "Can every insect hatch eggs? Doesn't that mean every one is a source of spread?"

The eggs in the bodies of those creatures treated as egg incubators were put in by insect-repelling masters, but now, every insect has the ability to lay eggs. After they spread, every living thing they bite is an egg incubator. The spread speed is not comparable to the previous insect disaster.

Moreover, the volume of these insect eggs is very small, even the naked eye can't see clearly, and it is easy to treat them as mucus. If they are not burned and killed on the spot, after a while they hatch, they will become new sources of spread.

Negris realized that the situation was not good. According to this situation, I don't know how many people who were teleported over have been bitten by insects. No one would care too much about being bitten by these flying insects smaller than mosquitoes. Then many people's bodies may have already been parasitized by insect eggs.

The believers of the Goddess of Harvest have already been infected with an unknown number. What about the main plane? In places where famine occurs, how many people have been infected?

If they cannot be treated before they spit out mucus, then the moment they spit out mucus is the moment they die.

In fact, before they spit out mucus, as long as they have symptoms of pale face, their bodies have already been damaged on a large scale. Even if they are cured, the injuries in their bodies have already become irreversible.

"What to do? When they are in the human body, your Death Aura can't kill them either, it will only accelerate their hatching. Is there any special medicine that can treat it? This is no longer an insect disaster, this is an insect plague. If it can't be cured, the main plane may die two-thirds of the people again," Negris said worriedly.

Ang tilted his head and thought, took out a bottle and said: "Try, this."
