After ushering in the new city lord, An Jin also gave the city a new beginning!
She changed the name of [Beast Slave King City] to [Refinement City], which means rebirth and tempering, and at the same time placed her expectations and imagination on it.
……
The orcs were lying like dead bodies on the street.
Coughing, moaning, and crying came from the corner, and the air was filled with the smell of blood and rancidity... This city riddled with holes is full of hunger, poverty, and disease.
An Jin led people from the west of the city to the north of the city, his face was uncontrollably stained with sadness.
But the distant water cannot save the nearby fire. Her city is too far away from here. Even if she sends someone to notify her, it will still take less than half a month to go back and forth.
Ze Sheng offered to send some orcs from the Unicorn King City to support some food and medical supplies to solve the urgent need.
"No! Don't take him away! He's not dead yet!" The female's bitter cry attracted An Jin's attention.
She turned her head and saw that the city cleaners she arranged were dragging away a "corpse", but they were obstructed by the orc companion.
Seeing An Jin not far away, the orcs seemed very helpless to the female's crying and obstruction. They quickly walked over, "My lord, look, what should we do? This man is already infected. Will infect more orcs..."
After these three days of getting along with each other, An Jin brought them food and medical potions, and the orcs spontaneously and respectfully called her the Lord of the City.
"He's not sick, he's just fainted from hunger, and he can wake up as long as he is given some food!"
The slightly older female pointed at the dying orc on the ground and wailed loudly.
Her eyes were red from crying, she wiped her nose indiscriminately and said fiercely, "I only have him as a partner, I am so old and I can't find a young male who can hunt, what should I do if he dies ? You can’t take him away and burn him with fire!”
An Jin said expressionlessly, "He is beyond treatment. If you don't want to become like him in the next few days, hand him over to the staff for cremation."
"What do you mean?" The female stared at An Jin in fear.
Her tears hadn't drained yet, mixed with the mud on her face, she looked like a fleeing refugee, and subconsciously rubbed her itchy arms.
Although it was covered by mud, the red marks on her arms and chest were still very obvious, and the itching forced her to scratch harder, almost bleeding out.
"You've been infected."
Ignoring the female who instantly collapsed on the ground and screamed, she raised her head and said to the orc behind her, "Take her partner outside the city to be cremated, and put her in a concentration camp for isolation. See if her symptoms have improved." It's been going on for a while. Send someone to keep an eye on it and remember to take the medicine on time..."
"Yes!"
The orc said respectfully, with anxious eyes, and started working quickly.
They took the struggling female and other sick orcs into a makeshift concentration camp.
After taking over the city, An Jin realized that the poverty and dilapidation on the surface of the city were only the most superficial governance difficulties.
I don't know when, the plague has actually started to spread in this city, and what's even more frightening is that no one knows how long the plague has been spreading.
——Insect plague, dysentery, red rash...
Most of the orcs are infected with these plagues.
Each of these plagues is more contagious than the other.
Mi Yin and the others are king beasts whose bodies have strong resistance. The reason why An Jin was able to detect the plague so quickly was because she had already started to show initial symptoms on the first night.
If she hadn't used [Strong Body], I'm afraid she would have become sick.
In the following time, she spent a lot of gold coins in the system mall to buy relevant prescriptions, and took a group of orcs to search the surrounding areas for medicinal materials. After spending three days without sleep, she finally successfully produced the first batch of medicinal materials. And urgently distributed to the sick orcs under the city.
But the number of patients in the city was too many, and most of the orcs were already terminally ill. For these patients whose chances of saving were too slim, she offered to give up and save the few medicinal materials to save other patients.
Although this approach is not very humane, it is already the most sensible choice at present.
Sick orcs will be sent to concentration camps for isolation, so that they can manage their condition at any time, and she will send someone to deliver meals for treatment.
As for the seriously ill orcs who have been abandoned or the rotting corpses piled up in the corner of the city, they will be taken to a place outside by the management staff of the city and cremated to prevent more orcs from being infected.
Orcs have this instinctive resistance to cremation——
"Our bodies were born from the earth and should be returned to the earth. This goes against the will of the beast god! It is also not in line with the long-standing beliefs of our race!"
"Perhaps we can also bury them in the soil, build a deep pit, throw all the corpses down, and then bury them in the soil, so that they will not infect other people!"
"No." Facing many elders who appealed, An Jin shook his head with a firm tone that could not be questioned, "The corpses of these sick people must be cremated, and cremation can only be done! Burying a pit will not solve the problem!"
"Just bury the pit, and when the rainy season comes, all these corpses will be washed out of the ground and exposed, and the polluted rainwater will gather in the rivers we usually drink, causing the plague to spread again! And there is a great possibility that it will be worse than this time." It's even more ferocious and serious!"
Her black eyes flashed with coldness. She tapped her finger on the stone table and said sternly, "If this kind of consequences really happen, can you afford it?"
Her patrolling eyes swept over the orcs in front of her who were trying to convince her.
"You, you, and you... even your relatives, partners, and offspring may die because of this. Is this the result you want?"
She could understand the orcs' difficulty in accepting cremation, after all, it conflicted with their primitive totem beliefs, but!This ruined city must never return to the pre-liberation because of this mistake!
Everything has to be accepted bit by bit, isn't it?
Many people lowered their heads in shame, hearing the hidden anger in her cold questioning. They looked nervous and said, "We are willing to carry out cremation..."
"The city lord is right. Cremation is indeed the only available method until other solutions are found. None of us want this city to return to its original appearance..."
This sentence brought back the most hated memories in everyone's mind.
So no one questioned cremation any more.
