The group of three severely infected people was completely wiped out. Moreover, due to the stimulation of the Super Plague Bane, these three people's lives ended prematurely and were transformed into the Undead of Plague. According to Dr. Zombie's data collection, the most severely infected of these three people should be able to last for about three more days.
Li Shuyi said, "It seems that the antidote isn't a success. Although the other two groups look better, who knows if they will mutate again?"
Bernita looked at Dr. Zombie suspiciously.
Dr. Zombie waved his hand and said, "Mutate again? That's impossible. From a scientific point of view, the development of the Plague Bane can be considered a success. As long as the first two groups take the medicine according to the treatment, they will definitely be cured of the plague virus in seven days and recover their health. As for the premature mutation of the severely infected people, it's because the experimental subjects have weak willpower, and they can't withstand the pain caused by the Super Plague Bane. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Dr. Zombie is right. We can't completely deny the effects of the antidote just because of the incident with the severely infected group. Now, most of the residents of Maple City are lightly infected, so there's still hope of saving them. "
Prince Nicholas's heroic side mission, Part 2, [Fight the Plague], had two objectives. After Bai Xiaowen's investigation, for missions with multiple objectives, at least one had to be completed (at least one) unless there were special instructions. The completion rate of each mission was calculated separately, and finally, based on the ratio, the completion rate of the entire mission would be calculated.
Mission Objective A was to develop the antidote to the Undead Plague. The completion rate of this mission would definitely be based on the quality of the antidote.
How would they determine the quality of the antidote?
It was unreliable to rely on the scholars around Prince Nicholas to judge. It was obvious from the fact that they had yet to develop the antidote that they were far inferior to Dr. Zombie. How could they rely on elementary school students to grade college students' papers?
Then, as the person who issued the mission and awarded the reward, Prince Nicholas's evaluation criteria would definitely be based on the number of survivors in Maple City.
In fact, Prince Nicholas had mentioned this before, especially emphasizing that they couldn't lose control and create a situation where the city was full of undead. If that happened, Bai Xiaowen's title and fief would be stripped.
This could be understood as a "mission punishment."
As for Mission Objective B, which was to eliminate all the undead creatures in the north due to the undead plague, the difficulty of this mission was simply too high. The S-rank difficulty of the second step of the Hero Tier Side Mission was most likely due to this.
There were more than a dozen territories in the Northern Borderline. How many Spirits of the Plague were there? How many pseudo-undead had the plague virus lurking in their bodies but had yet to transform? No one knew.
According to Bai Xiaowen's estimation, in order to accomplish the mission, he had to obtain a higher position in the coalition army of human beings, which was as important as Prince Nicholas and Archbishop Arlo. Then, he would send an army to search the entire northern border arbitrarily, killing the ghosts of plague and feeding the virus carriers the antidote …
As for why it was called "arbitrary"? Because the entire Human Alliance Army would definitely not agree to it, everyone was defending the Black Rock Stronghold against the attacks of the Sin Domain Remnant Citizens, where would they be able to deploy so many military forces.
Therefore, Mission Objective B was basically impossible to complete. The final mission evaluation would definitely not exceed 50%. Failure. However, failing the mission was still better than failing the mission. There would still be a reward.
Even if the reward was reduced, the S-rank reward would definitely be generous. After all, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse.
Bai Xiaowen then came up with a plan for the next seven days.
The Zombie Doctor was in charge of expanding the production of the plague nemesis. At the same time, he was organizing the residents of Maple City to take medicine according to the degree of plague infection.
Those who were slightly infected needed a beginner plague nemesis. This was fine as long as they used the normal template of Plague Undead Antidote. However, those who were moderately infected needed an advanced plague nemesis. This required the elite template of Plague Undead Antidote, which was quite scarce.
As for those who were severely infected, they could only strategically give up. Previously, they had only used the antidotes of the Undead Boss in Maple City to create the super plague nemesis.
Based on the calculation that 14 super plague nemesis were needed to cure a severely infected person, these 40 super plague nemesis could only cure a few people, not to mention the ridiculously high rate of early mutation. Apart from those elites and leaders with strong mental fortitude and endurance, ordinary people would not be able to withstand it, so there was no need to waste them.
As for who to give it to first and who to give it to later? This was enough of a dilemma to make a moral choice, but it did not bother Bai Xiaowen for too long.
Bai Xiaowen first gave a course of plague nemesis to a few volunteers and their families who volunteered to be test subjects. Then, he put a price tag on the three types of plague nemesis and sold them throughout the city.
The price he set was quite expensive. With the gold coins that middle-class families saved up, they could at most buy one or two courses of treatment, which was enough to cure one or two people.
Bai Xiaowen had no choice but to do so. The gold coins from selling these drugs could not be brought out of this world. Although it was a considerable amount of wealth, it was not very useful.
The price was only set because there were fewer Plague Undead corpses to be used as materials in the early stages, so the production of the drugs was limited. In the disaster movie 2012 in another time and space, it cost one billion euros per ticket. Were the leaders of the countries who set the prices really short of money?
No, they were just trying to secretly draw a line without letting the public know the inside story, a line between those who were saved and those who were abandoned. When the end of the world came, euros were no different from scrap paper.
Of course, when the ark was being built, the large amount of euros collected through the sale of the tickets could be used to purchase construction resources more easily. But this was not the main point, so it was needless to say.
Bai Xiaowen did this to draw a line — if he did not set any conditions, and anyone could get the drugs, Maple City would definitely be in chaos.
Even so, Bai Xiaowen still ordered the bandit guards to patrol day and night, and focus on protecting the production site of the plague nemesis in the Lord's Mansion's research institute to prevent any disturbances.
Although the plague nemesis was expensive, it was a life-saving drug, so the citizens of Maple City still tried their best to raise gold coins to buy it. For a time, the value of gold coins in Maple City skyrocketed. The streets and alleys were filled with stalls hawking goods at cheap prices.
Bai Xiaowen could not suppress his exuberant brain cells. He ordered his men to secretly buy goods in small batches and store them at low prices. On his Lord's page, food, construction materials and other supplies were increasing rapidly by the hour.
