#83 - Chapter 83 Secret Planning
"Is Wu Wei crazy!"
Li Sinuo said, looking at the countdown on the Heavenly Dao System panel.
"Does he even know the consequences of doing this?"
"He will be torn to pieces alive by all the lords of the trial continent!"
Hearing Li Sinuo's words, Su Yingxue finally recovered from her previous daze and said calmly.
"Of course he knows the consequences of doing this."
"So from now on, we must be careful!"
"Wait... you said we."
Li Sinuo wondered if she had misheard.
Because what Su Yingxue just said seemed like they had to be careful, the subject being the two of them, not Wu Wei.
"Why do we have to be careful? Shouldn't Wu Wei be the one who needs to be careful?"
Faced with Li Sinuo's question, Su Yingxue said decisively.
"Because Wu Wei is very clear that he absolutely cannot win this war head-on with his own strength alone, so he will definitely choose some unconventional means to help himself win this war against the entire trial continent."
"Unconventional means... such as?"
"I don't know."
Su Yingxue shook her head, but then said firmly.
"But I can be sure that Wu Wei's methods will be much more terrifying than we think!"
—————————
On the other side.
Just as Su Yingxue thought.
"Lord, you... the plague you wanted, I have cultivated it."
In the former dwarf king city, which had completely become a city of plague.
Plague Breeder Mara crawled out of her brother's body, holding a white egg in her mouth.
And Mara's brother held the egg and brought it to Wu Wei.
"Lord, according to your request, this new type of plague will be the most contagious of all the plagues I possess."
"Moreover, I have also achieved what you requested, that it can be spread on other small creatures."
"Its transmission routes will be as high as fourteen, and basically any form of contact will infect creatures with this plague."
Speaking of this, Mara shrank back into Hel's body, seemingly not used to the outside air.
"But I must remind you that because of the overemphasis on contagiousness, the lethality of this new plague has been greatly reduced."
Wu Wei glanced at Hel and asked.
"In that case, what will the final lethality be?"
"It's about 30% to 60%, and many stronger creatures can be completely immune to this new plague."
When she said this number, Mara was obviously a little embarrassed.
Among all the plagues she had cultivated, this lethality rate was one of the lowest.
But Wu Wei was very satisfied with this number.
"30% to 60%? That's enough. Little Mara, you did a good job."
Hearing her lord's praise, the shy Mara also smiled in the holes on Hel's body.
"However, Lord, humble me wants to ask you a question."
"Ask."
"Why did you specifically ask for this special plague strain?"
"Although it is very contagious, it is obviously not as good as other types of plagues in eliminating enemies."
"I guessed that you wanted to use the disease to interfere with the operation of the entire trial continent and wanted to eliminate the enemy as much as possible, so why didn't you choose other more effective plagues, but instead chose this one?"
Faced with Mara's question, Wu Wei gave his answer.
"Because we only have one chance to release a large-scale plague!"
"All the lords already know that I have the ability to create plagues, so they will definitely be very vigilant about this."
"Although the highly lethal plagues you mentioned can kill a large number of enemies, the spread of this plague does not meet our requirements."
"Once a lord discovers that there is such a highly lethal plague raging in his territory, then they may take extreme measures to eliminate the infected people, thereby cutting off the subsequent spread of the plague."
"They may even unite to jointly block the spread of this plague."
"And in this way, our last chance to release a large-scale plague will be wasted."
"Therefore, I asked you to give up those highly lethal plagues and instead cultivate this new plague that is extremely contagious but has a slightly weaker lethality."
"The main purpose of this new plague is not to kill the enemy."
"Killing the enemy's soldiers is just an incidental goal. My real purpose is to cause large-scale chaos in all the lords' territories on this continent because of this plague!"
"Only this new plague, which has reached the extreme in contagiousness, can create as much chaos as possible on the entire trial continent."
"Because it can greatly harm the enemy's civilian units, and these civilian units are precisely the cornerstone for those lords to launch wars."
"In the history of ancient humans, there was a plague similar to this new plague, and the lethality rate of the two was also very similar."
"Although its lethality is not as good as many diseases in later generations, it took away more lives than those diseases."
"Even because of its appearance, a dark period appeared in the entire human history."
"At that time, people were even so afraid that they treated it as some kind of demon's curse or witch's magic."
"And it is also the well-deserved king of plagues in ancient human history!"
Hearing this, Mara finally understood her lord's thoughts.
"I understand, Lord."
Mara said in a weak voice from the hole.
"I will try my best to practice your will, and I will also try my best to let this new plague spread throughout the continent."
After speaking, Mara and Hel took back the fly egg from Wu Wei's hand and returned to the nest to incubate the original pathogen.
In less than a day, this new plague will gradually infect the entire trial continent, starting from Wu Wei's territory.
The entire trial continent is still unaware of this.
And those busy creatures will not think that this new plague will accompany them throughout the war!
——————————
"Huff..."
Seeing Hel and Mara leave, Wu Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Just one plague is not enough..."
Faced with this twenty-day countdown, Wu Wei is also doing his best to prepare.
Because he knows that as time goes by, the counterattack forces on the entire trial continent are also gathering rapidly. Once the power they gather reaches a certain level, then his plan to drag the trial continent into the endless abyss will be completely bankrupt.
So Wu Wei looked at the abyss incubation pool in the abyss.
Over there, countless demon cocoons are hatching...
