The red moon returns

Chapter 406 Doctor Sven
The two sides chatted until midnight.

Dr. Swain revealed a great deal about her.

The crazy old man was right, she was a ghoul, but a mixed-blood.

Her mother was an ordinary human peasant woman. She and her father, Old Swain, gave birth to Dr. Swain and her younger brother fifty years ago. Ghouls have a lifespan of two hundred years, so she looks only about thirty years old in human form.

She had indeed seen the Book of the Dead, and after reading only five pages, she learned more than a dozen strange secret techniques. As for why she didn't go crazy, it was probably because the mysterious creatures' endurance was much higher than that of humans. But even so, she didn't dare to continue reading.

But she didn't mind telling Lin Qi and the other three her whereabouts. She didn't plan to touch him again anyway.

As for her returning to her hometown after the journey, it was not to take care of her father. In fact, her father was 130 years old this year and had just entered old age. He was far from needing someone to take care of him.

The main reason was that her brother died two years ago. It was a real accident, there was no doubt about it, and she didn't need to do anything. But the problem was that old Sven was the priest of the tribe, and her brother was the candidate for the next priest. Now that the next priest died, she had to come back to take on this responsibility.

The death of his brother had consumed many years of Swain's hard work, and it dealt a heavy blow to him. His temper became more and more strange, and he rarely left the farm. He was also bad to Dr. Swain, which made Dr. Swain very sad. He usually lived in the city, and would occasionally return to the farm outside the city to see the old zombie, and then come back after being scolded a few times.

It turns out that ghouls also have family discord and father-daughter conflicts. The four of them were very excited to hear this. If Lynch hadn't considered that the other party might not be able to beat her after transforming, she would have laughed out loud on the spot.

As for the four of them, Lynch did not dare to tell the truth. After all, the truth was too unbelievable. Perhaps only people like the old madman who played with time could accept it calmly.

But the relationship between the two sides has become much closer now, and Lynch didn't have the heart to completely deceive her. He told her that in addition to coming to discuss the Book of the Dead, he also wanted to grow human-faced fruits. It is said that the ones grown here are better than those grown in the Midway Continent.

As a result, Dr. Swen's answer made the four of them blush.

She said that's why, and she was also wondering why there were a few more human-faced fruit plants near her home. She thought that the mastermind was behind this and was going to search the whole city tomorrow and uproot them all when she found them.

Only then did Lin Qi realize that he had indeed underestimated the world of memories in the strange object. The people in it were not like the NPCs who would remain indifferent no matter what was done. Fortunately, he asked, otherwise this trip would have been in vain.

However, after a frank conversation that night, the two sides became closer, and the four of them also felt much closer to the female doctor.

As for Swain Farm and Old Swain, Lynch didn't care. They were limited to a 200-meter range of activities. It was impossible for them to contact Swain Farm, nor was it possible for them to meet Old Swain in advance. By the time he appeared, everything was over. For the four of them, he was only a little better than the background board like the dead Little Swain.
However, judging from the birth of the strange creature, the old ghoul is actually full of guilt towards his daughter. Unfortunately, fate never gives people the chance to regret.

As for what happened today, Lynch guessed correctly. One of the two zombies they met outside the east gate in the evening was Dr. Swen, and the other was a representative of the zombie tribe.

This tribe has four to five hundred people, and they live in an underground cave nearby. They never actively attack humans, and at most they help the residents of several nearby cities to pay their respects to the corpses of their ancestors.

Therefore, the two sides have been living in peace, but recently, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, the zombies that come out are frequently seen by humans, which has led to a series of incidents behind the scenes.

The purpose of today's meeting between the two parties is just as Lynch guessed. After understanding the characteristics of the plague, Dr. Swain is not sure whether he can find a solution before the situation gets out of control. Once the situation gets out of control and the plague spreads, the zombie tribe will also suffer a devastating disaster.

Therefore, she prepared for the worst and told her people all about the situation in the city, asking them to be ready to purify the entire city.

At the same time, he also asked his tribesmen to help send a letter to the capital. This time it was not a request for help, but an announcement in the identity of a zombie of what was about to happen here, so that the troops in the capital could be prepared.

The four of them became more and more frightened as they listened.

She didn't say what preparations the troops were making, but it's easy to imagine.

Everything was self-consistent. No wonder the ghouls blocked the city for three days before starting the massacre. They were probably giving Dr. Sven time to solve the problem. However, she failed in the end, and the situation came to the most tragic end. Moreover, the reinforcements arrived just after the ghouls left the scene. Neither side swung a claw or a sword. The so-called reinforcements probably came with a second clearing mission. Even if the ghouls didn't do a clean job, they would finish them off in time.

As for the final outcome of Novlan, it has long been lost in history, but the four estimated that the most likely possibility was that it was burned to as if it had never existed.

But this time may be different. Because of the two messengers, Dr. Swain realized the danger two days in advance, and used Knight Terry to control the initial spread of the plague.

And now she has four more friends willing to help her, so she is no longer fighting alone.

Even the female doctor herself was talking enthusiastically, helping Lynch to make up for a lesson that Ms. Nightingale did not teach in detail.

Those who often suffer from plague will definitely be familiar with the three elements of the occult plague.

Disease, replication, spread.

The core element is disease, which is why Dr. Swain said that the ghoul involved must be found.

To find a cure, you must find this ghoul.

It doesn't matter whether the person is dead or alive, or whether there is a corpse. You don't even need to have physical contact with the person. As long as you know the person's identity, you can get targeted information from a conceptual perspective. Of course, it's better to have physical contact, so that the concept will be clearer.

Compared with the plague in the real world of the Fifth Epoch, there is no need to find this core element.

It wasn't the Ghoul King Mordiggian. Lynch originally thought it was it, but in fact, when he asked Ms. Nightingale, the old lady smiled and took out a mirror and held it in front of him.

The guy inside looks really familiar.

Yes, the core element is not Mordiggian, but Lynch himself, which is why the four people ventured in to plant.

However, the core elements are only the prerequisites for the cure. To be a truly sufficient condition, we must also find the means of replication and dissemination in order to find a targeted solution.

As for the plague within this strange object, these two conditions were induced by occult drugs. There are many similar drugs, and the specific drugs used are only in the hands of the mastermind behind the scenes.

Therefore, finding the mastermind is not the key, the key is to find the information he has hidden. However, it is already very difficult for Lynch and the other four to provide an identity of a suspect, and the rest is not something they can help with.

At least in theory.

Doctor Swen also understood this, so after a night of discussion, they decided that the rest would mainly depend on her. Starting tomorrow, she would try to test the city lord's position. If the city lord was really behind this, she would try to find out the method of transmission and replication from him.

As for the core vegetarian zombie, there is no good way now, but what is certain is that it must still be in the city. Both sides should work together to try to catch it.

As for Knight Terry's position, it is still unclear at the moment, but he has his mission. He will be responsible for patrolling the city constantly and trying to nip all abnormalities in the bud.

Everyone does their part and races against the mastermind and the plague.

Whether the memories of the strange creature can be interrupted in time and everyone can escape alive depends on the developments on the third day.
