Chapter 1125: Bird's Beak Plague Doctor, coming out of the world again?
Grete squatted at the entrance of the research institute, passing and throwing bowling balls with Serira - or strictly speaking, playing curling and having a great time.
One research room was full, and Cerira took away the cold air, breathed out again, and laid an ice path. The ice path turned and extended to the second research room, and Cerira continued to throw lead boxes——
Outside the research institute, a dozen elves sat in a circle around Elder Fahim. On the outside, a large group of indigenous people sat quietly, pricking their ears and listening to the discussions of the elves:
"I think we should launch another cleaning operation." Yu Dian waved his arms and made a statement:
"When I entered the secret realm this time, I confirmed that as long as we wear lead armor and take medicine beforehand, the damage we suffer will be much less. In the past, we also had early warning methods for the danger of being suddenly injured when approaching the barrier..."
"Especially in the peripheral polluted areas, if you take precautions in advance, you will hardly be harmed. High-level warriors can completely ignore this kind of damage, and mid-level warriors only need a little rest."
"What about inside the secret realm?"
Ashe Yuesong was the first to shout back. Idian shook his head:
"We won't enter the secret realm for the time being. Clean up the monsters in the contaminated area and reduce their number, which will reduce the pressure on the surrounding forests. Then, we will start to restore nature -"
There were nods up and down. Most of the elves were thoughtful, or waiting for Elder Fahim to speak, while the indigenous people outside were already whispering to each other and whispering in agreement:
"Those monsters in the contaminated area are the most annoying! You can't eat them, wear them, or feed them to livestock!"
"If you throw it into the water source, it will pollute the water source! You can only find a place far outside the village, dig a hole deep and bury it. If you bury it close, the people in the village will get strange diseases."
"If a stronger monster comes, a village will be destroyed! If the distinguished Lin Xingmen hadn't been assisting us, we don't know how many more people would have died..."
"But if you go in for cleaning, will you get a strange disease? My father's father..."
"Hey! Didn't you listen to what Youdian Lin Xing said? As long as you protect yourself, there will be no problem!"
The popularity of the elves in this large forest is still very good. They have high levels and strong fighting power. They have always appeared in front of the local indigenous people as teachers and protectors:
Teach them to grow herbs, teach them to cast spells, and mentor the young and qualified warriors among them. Rescue the natives in distress, treat them, and escort them back to the village.
More importantly, the elves have a very small population and basically do not compete with the indigenous people for territory. Moreover, they have extremely long lifespans. An elf may have taught an indigenous warrior, as well as his father, his grandfather, and his grandfather.
Grandpa’s grandpa…
If the elves had not stopped them vigorously, it is very likely that all the indigenous villages would have enshrined their idols. At any rate, the elves made these indigenous people remember the name "Lin Xing"——
Walker in the forest, guardian of nature.
Of course, the elves have no control over how the indigenous people understand this title, whether they understand it as another name for "god".
As the strongest elf warrior in the Fertile Forest, Torrent Forest, and Yusong Forest, Illidan's reputation among people nearby is even more noble.
The indigenous warriors from various tribes in the forest were either taught by him or taught by the young elves he mentored...
If you just walk around, you can summon hundreds of villages and hundreds of indigenous warriors. Although the education level of these indigenous people is worrying, and their spellcasting skills are even more worrying, they can still help by helping to carry them, or helping to search and kill monsters.
There are a lot of busy people here.
Otherwise, how can we patrol an area of millions of square kilometers with just these elves? Even with a broken leg, we can't patrol. Even if we inform the people, the talking natives are more reliable than trees and monsters.
There are many scores.
"Are you going to clean now?"
Elder Fahim stroked his white beard, looked at the map hanging in front of him, and thought quietly. After being silent for a while, he beckoned Idian to him:
"How much manpower do you need for this cleaning operation? How many places will you clean? How much time do you plan to spend, how many wild beasts, how many monsters, and which famous monsters need to be killed?"
Idian set out to transport ore this month. On the way, he had made repeated plans. When asked by the elders, he immediately answered without thinking:
"The manpower I brought is enough. For the cleaning area, I suggest focusing on the area close to the rich forest and pushing 50 miles inward. It will take at most half a month to kill more than 20 mid-level monsters.
,Is it an important Warcraft..."
He talked nonstop. Elder Fahim nodded first and then shook his head:
"Iudian, we elves, everyone has magic to protect ourselves, and it is okay to move temporarily in the polluted area. But these natives - half a month, no magic, only relying on pills, how much damage will they suffer?"
"It won't be very big, right...?"
"As for you talking about wearing lead armor. - Intermediate warriors, how many of them can wear full-body lead armor and still move without hindrance? Not to mention carrying a tree on their backs, how many of them have the ability to communicate with ancient trees?
"
Idian scurried away under the elder's reproachful gaze. The elder shook his head and smiled as he watched him go away, sighing softly. Next to him, Aneri Linge said softly:
"Teacher, actually after so many years, it's time to organize another cleaning operation. The last cleaning was fifty years ago - even if there were losses, their manpower has recovered after so many years."
"I'm not saying you shouldn't clean."
Elder Fahim shook his head gently. The old man's eyes swept over the elves in front of him one by one, and with a wave of his hand, a simple map of the secret realm of the elves appeared in front of him:
"I just want to focus my limited manpower on more important places. What's the big deal about killing a few monsters? As long as the contaminated area exists, there will be monsters who run in there out of instinct, or humans in order to advance...
"
He clicked a few points with his fingertips, and the damage on the outer barrier of the Elf Secret Realm was particularly eye-catching:
"These damaged places cannot be repaired, or in other words, the burning mineral veins inside are not extinguished. Cleaning on the outside will always treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Besides, even if you go in to clean, you must try to protect them..." Idian had already rushed all the way to Gretel. Seeing Gretel and Serira shoulder to shoulder, having fun playing curling, he leaned in and squeezed in:
"Hey, hey, hey! Don't just play around! - Little Grete, help me think of a way. Is there any way to prevent people from getting hurt as much as possible in the polluted area? The lead suit is too heavy, let's change it.
Here’s a solution! Don’t enter the secret realm, just stay in the outer polluted area!”
Yes, there is one more task. Gretel dragged a box of lead boxes, released Onegold, asked him to pass the box to Cerela, and then took two steps away:
"Are you only operating in contaminated areas? Are they the first few boxes of samples you carried for me when you came out?"
"That's right!" Idian nodded loudly:
"Isn't that what you said? Three boxes in the contaminated area and three boxes in the secret realm. It's best to sample those with more readings and those with less readings separately. I've marked them all for you and posted them on the boxes!"
Gretel tested the soil swept out from the contaminated area, the broken branches, and the chopped monster horns from a distance. The conclusion was that there was indeed radiation, but it was much smaller than in the Elf Secret Realm.
Probably, maybe, maybe, this is the difference between the Chernobyl reactor core and the Chernobyl peripheral tourist area? Because the reactor core is still burning, radioactive dust will float out from time to time, but radioactive dust also has a half-life...
…
"Without equipment, it will definitely not work just by taking potassium iodide pills." Grete thought slowly:
"Udian, let's do another experiment - this time we won't use rabbits. You can help catch some mice. Hundreds or thousands of mice will be enough. Then, let's see if there is any way to prevent them from being harmed.
…”
According to Gretel's request, the indigenous people in the jungle each contributed their own clothes, cloaks, mats, reed fabrics, linen fabrics, deerskin skirts, snakeskin waistcoats, and various other items. They were piled together and smelled bad.
Xuntian.
Gretel pinched his nose and accepted these gadgets, standing far away, using one hand to throw bubbles to himself, and the other hand opened:
"Cleaning! Cleaning! Cleaning! How long has it been since I washed these wretched things!
!”
He really couldn't bear it without losing the cleaning skills. After losing the cleaning skills, it was the turn of these natives to do the next work:
"You! Cut these things into small pieces! Spread them in the cage, spread them tightly, and don't allow any light to pass through!"
"You guys, cut these things into small pieces and make clothes for the mice! - Am I not clear enough? Make clothes for the mice, cover their torsos, and don't let them bite them off!"
"You guys, cut these things into small pieces and make clothes for the mice! Leave a layer between them, and put a thin layer of lead in each piece of clothing!"
The natives wailed. However, under Gretel's order, and more importantly, under Idian's close gaze, they still picked up knives, scissors, and bone needles, one by one, and started working honestly.
.
As for Grete, she held her chin on the side and thought:
"What else can be used...Gum? Rubber? Idian! Do yourself a favor and get a batch of rubber for them to experiment on!"
If it is entering the periphery, then by strictly isolating the radiation dust and doing a good job of decontamination, you can resist most of the damage. Taking potassium iodide tablets in advance can also resist a large part of the damage.
If this is not possible, if you wrap your skin tightly, wear a gas mask, and a lead vest, you should be able to carry it...
I just don’t know how insulating the indigenous people’s clothes are… Gretel shuddered when he thought of marching wearing a full-length rubber raincoat, rubber boots, and a gas mask:
Do you want me to take out the plague doctor's equipment again?
That’s so tiring!
