A miracle at the beginning

The mountain wind blew, rolling up the dead leaves on the ground. Qingyao gently stroked her long hair beside her ears and whispered, "Husband, in the face of natural disasters, are all the sisters okay?"

"Not very well."

Luo Yu shook his head and said, "The quality of the people in their territory is lower than that of Yu Country. People have already started to die, and birds and beasts have fallen in large numbers. If it weren't for the goddess's protection, I'm afraid there would be an epidemic."

"Alas..."

A dead leaf slowly fell on Qingyao's white palm. She sighed softly and said, "Heaven and earth are unkind, and treat all things as straw dogs."

"I hope that the people of this world are like these dead leaves in early autumn, falling alone."

"Husband, I want to take my disciples to support the territories of my sisters. What do you think?"

She asked this question and waited for a moment, but did not wait for Luo Yu's reply. She asked curiously, "Husband? What's wrong with you?"

"Dead leaves..."

Luo Yu was stunned on the spot, and a thunder flashed in his mind.

"Dear, what did you say just now?"

Qingyao's pretty face turned red when she heard this.

She heard Fang Yumeng mention her husband's habit of addressing people. He regarded the spirit girl, maid, and spirit as his family or daughter, and would call them "baby".

Only to his wife would he call her "dear".

This was the first time that Luo Yu called her like this, but it made her feel sweet. She blushed slightly and whispered, "I mean, the withered leaves of early autumn..."

"Early autumn!"

"By the way, early autumn!"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Luo Yu. He looked at the withered tree beside him, frowned, and walked over slowly.

Standing in front of the tree, he stroked the dry trunk with his palm, and the shock in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Qingyao and Long'er came up behind him. Long'er asked curiously, "Master, what's wrong?"

Luo Yu said, "Baby, the plants in our territory have been strengthened many times and have strong vitality. This camphor tree will only wither in the coldest days of winter, and new buds will emerge immediately when the weather warms up."

"It's only early autumn now, how can it wither?"

"Huh?"

Long'er and Qingyao said "Huh" at the same time. They are both very smart girls and immediately thought of something.

Qingyao pointed her fingertips, and a green light swept across. The withered camphor tree was uprooted. When they saw the scene in the mud hole left by the big tree, the three looked at each other with horror in their eyes.

In the mud hole, there was a pile of dead insects!

Luo Yu said three words in a deep voice: "Wilt disease."

Long Er suddenly realized and said: "Master, Sister Qingyao, I understand!"

"This mysterious element is condensed from the withering power in the law of withering and flourishing, and it targets all plants!"

"After insects eat the roots and stems of plants, they are infected with withering elements in their bodies and begin to die in large numbers. Small birds eat insects, which causes large-scale deaths of birds!"

"The carnivores and scavengers that follow eat the bird corpses, and gradually accumulate withering elements in their bodies, and then begin to get sick! And we, the people, eat vegetables and fruits, and withering elements accumulate in our bodies!"

"The root of everything is caused by the withering disease!"

Qingyao frowned and stared at the insect corpses in the mud hole, saying: "It should be so, but since the withering disease targets all plants, the withering elements in the bodies of herbivores should be more. Why are the birds that eat the insect corpses the first to die in large numbers?"

Luo Yu paced and explained: "This is related to the body structure and habits. , strength. "

"First, the intestines of herbivores can better digest plant cellulose. All things are born, and plants wither and flourish in order. There are inherent laws of withering and flourishing. After millions of years of evolution, herbivores should have a certain ability to resist the withering elements. "

"Second, our territory is extremely fertile and has sufficient food. Herbivores do not need to migrate. They have stayed in the territory for more than ten times, and their immunity has been outstanding. "

"Birds are more affected by the seasons. They habitually migrate across Lake Niga, so they are less strengthened and have a short lifespan. "

"It is precisely because of the strength of life that the plants in the territory are the main carriers of the blight, but they did not wither and die immediately in a short period of time, and their appearance remained unchanged. "

"In addition, autumn is the season when all things wither. Inertial thinking makes us think it is a plague or an enemy's curse, but ignores the plants that can be seen everywhere! "

"As the saying goes, one thing leads to another. Luo Yu explained it this way and completely understood the whole story.

"Yes, the event page of Tiandao World only announced the death probability of birds, beasts and fish, but deliberately did not announce the probability of insects, because once this data is made public, smart people can immediately solve the puzzle."

"Mu Qing has not spoken in the previous internal meetings. Everyone thought she was in seclusion again, but in fact she was silenced!"

"She is the queen of the Zerg. She immediately understood the cause and effect of the blight, but this event requires independent solution, so the moment she understood, she was silenced on the spot!"

"As for why the Yuan Palace's subordinates are not affected, it is because the Yuan Palace is the spokesperson of the continent's will, and the main body of the blight is the continent's land. Therefore, under the interference of the continent's will, they are immune to this disaster!"

As soon as Luo Yu finished speaking, the system interface popped up.

[Hint: It is detected that you have solved the mystery of this death event, and the success rate is uploaded to the event exclusive page]

[Tip: You have been banned from all channels. You and all your messengers, mechanical communication soldiers and other related personnel cannot leave for friendly or neutral areas. You and your kingdom are currently in a semi-isolated state. Please work hard to solve the blight incident! ]

The three people's eyes were retracted from the system page. Long Er showed a helpless look and said, "Master, we are also locked up."

Luo Yu nodded, and his fingertips quickly swiped the virtual page to switch to the event-exclusive channel.

[Current success rate of solving the mystery of the mysterious death incident: 7.933%]

Staring at the rising number, Luo Yu said: "This incident is actually not difficult. Many people have already solved the mystery. The reason why we have been trapped for so long is that the immune system of the creatures in the territory is too strong and confused us."

"Secondly, because there is no suspension of work and production, the officials and people are still focusing on economic construction and have not paid much attention to it, so the reaction is a little slow."

Qingyao nodded in agreement and said: "Even if there are all kinds of means of the mechanical race, in the event of an emergency, the huge and bloated state machinery cannot really be controlled at will."

"The transmission and execution of orders ultimately requires the implementation of grassroots officials. The cultivation of the grassroots team's action ability needs to be put on the agenda."
