The next day, the rain had stopped, and the sun instantly scorched the earth. Swarms of mosquitoes flew everywhere, enveloping Longnan County Government in a hot, humid air, and the number of citizens suffering from diarrhea increased again.
Qi Yue worried that the pathogen had mutated, so she tested again in haste. Fortunately, her luck wasn't too bad—the virus hadn't upgraded or mutated. It was just that some citizens were disobedient, thinking they were cured, and continued to drink raw water as usual.
And some people were confused and used water from places that were not designated.
After sharing the situation with Chu Yuntian, he immediately ordered soldiers to beat the gongs through the streets in warning, informing the citizens of the severity of the diarrhea.
But it was already too late.
By nightfall, a large number of citizens were in unbearable abdominal pain; some even died on the streets on their way to the hospital.
