Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

Chapter 121 Situation

Weapons capable of fighting the demons have been manufactured, and everyone knows that this is their best chance.

This time they knew the enemy's identity and killed at least a general-level character under the enemy.

In the past, they could only passively defend against this epidemic, but after nearly several weeks of hard struggle, they finally waited for the day to fight back.

Howard knew better than anyone that this was their first and only chance, but he didn't say it out loud in order not to undermine morale.

Because the portal to the warp has been opened, from the current situation it seems that the scale of this portal is not large, and the demons that mainly run over are cannon fodder soldiers at the level of Nurglings and Nurgling beasts.

But this does not mean that what comes into the real universe from that portal will always be this kind of thing.

Although the current situation is not optimistic, we can still struggle if we all work together.

If this portal is left unattended, one day, perhaps in the next second, something truly terrifying will come out of it.

By then, even if his pancakes could cure all diseases, it would probably be too late to save the situation.

However, Howard still has a question in his mind. According to his previous investigation and analysis, the source of the plague should be the upper nest, but why are there plague agents in the middle nest now?

And judging from the fact that Cecil knew that he was the "Messenger of Om Messiah", there should be a certain degree of information exchange between him and the difficult-to-kill psychic in the upper nest.

But the psychic in the upper nest wanted him to die, but Cecil didn't seem to have any intention of killing him.

Why do they have different attitudes towards themselves, and... which attitude is what the people who really have the say behind them want to see?

Howard couldn't think of the answer to this question, and perhaps the answer would only be revealed when all this was over.

The premise is that you can survive to the end.

After the weapons were distributed, everyone took the elevator back to the surface and began the deployment of this proactive war.

Several leaders gathered around the large conference table, including Char, Francis, the fat man Howard saw in the clock tower - he was the leader of the Corpse Guild, named Roderick; and a masked woman - she was the leader of the Water Guild, named Mavis.

When the plague started, they used their influence to sell water and food to Char's side at high prices. However, as the plague quickly became uncontrollable and Char brought out the pancakes that could cure the plague, they decisively joined Char's camp.

Normally they just exist as a background, coming to Char regularly to receive pancakes and equipment provided by William, and then going back to quietly maintain their own territory. But now that a counterattack is about to be decided, they have been summoned.

So, except for Adeline who ran away, the four leaders of the Middle Nest have already stood on the side of humans, and the remaining three leaders, except for Terrence, the leader of the organ market who supports Cecil and other psychics, who has basically defected to Chaos, the whereabouts and positions of the remaining two leaders are unknown.

In fact, it is not necessarily that their whereabouts are unknown. After the plague began, Char was still able to contact them intermittently, but the situation of these two people is not optimistic, because their sphere of influence is the farthest from Char and is the most isolated by the plague and infected areas.

On the fourth day after the plague broke out, a team broke out from the depths of the plague and came to Char's quarantine area. They told Char that they were subordinates of a trapped leader and came to Char for help.

Under normal circumstances, Char would probably consider carefully whether he should help them and how to help them in a way that would maximize his benefits, but this is a special moment.

So Char received them personally, and finally gave them half of the reserved pancakes and reinforced the team that had suffered heavy losses. After that, the reorganized team fought back with half of the pancakes, but Char had no idea what their fate was.

Because a few days later, the shortwave communications in the Middle Nest were interfered with, and the contact between Char and the remaining two leaders was completely cut off. After that, no one rushed out from the severely infected area to seek help.

So Char had to make a pessimistic analysis and thought that the territories of the two leaders had probably been lost.

Because Xia knew in his heart that the reason why he was able to hold on was very simple, that was because Howard was making pancakes for him.

If there were no special medicine like Jianbingguozi, the entire Middle Nest would probably have collapsed within a week of the outbreak of the plague, and perhaps in the end only a few people who were close to Ivan would have survived.

This was evident from the number of infected people. In the short span of just over ten hours between the attack on the Sky Elevator and Char's return to Middle Nest with the five hundred pancakes, nearly two-thirds of Middle Nest had become infected.

Of course, this does not mean that two-thirds of the residents are infected, because when the number of infected people in an area reaches a certain threshold, the healthy people in that area will begin to flee, and then that area will become an infected area.

But even so, at least one-fifth of the people in Zhongchao were directly infected at that time, and the number of infected and dead people was still increasing rapidly.

At this rate of growth, within three days, there will not be a single living person in the entire Zhongchao.

But when Char started using Jianbing Guozi to treat the infected, the rate of new infections and deaths was directly cut to the knees. After Howard and William reached an agreement and began to support Zhongchao, the number of new deaths per day dropped sharply from six digits to four digits.

It was previously said that William’s assistance saved tens of thousands of lives, which means that tens of thousands of people who were infected and should have died survived because of his support. These are the people he saved in the open.

The number of people who were spared from infection because of his assistance and are not counted in the statistics of infected people may reach hundreds of thousands or even millions.

Right before the attack, Char had already begun organizing his men to retake part of the infected area. According to his steady and cautious plan, with Howard's sufficient supply of pancakes, they would first retake the factory that could produce medicines, and then clear out all the infected people step by step. The whole process might take one to two years.

But the attack two days ago also made him realize that the real problem of this plague has never been the virus, but the evil people with ulterior motives who are exploiting the virus. If these people are not eliminated, the plague will never stop.

After figuring out the situation, Char spread out several pictures on the table.

The pictures show an area in Yodon, including aerial photos and close-up photos.

Everyone could recognize it; it was the central tower of Jotun.

At this time, the towering clock tower has been completely corrupted. The main body made of stone and steel has turned into ugly rotten meat, with blood vessels and pus all over the surface. Mosquitoes and flies are flying in the streets, and traces of Nurgling beasts and Nurglings can be vaguely seen.

And at the top of this tower of flesh and blood, behind the pointer that was locked by flesh tendrils and unable to move, a strange white light was faintly emitted.

Ohm Messiah had taken great pains to get these photos from those crazy machine spirits. With such serious corruption, combined with the words he had previously extracted from the Chaos believers, Howard was basically certain that the portal connecting to the subspace was most likely in the clock room at the top of the clock tower.
