That summer seemed exceptionally long.
The weather was scorching, and autumn showed no sign of arriving.
Perhaps unable to endure the endless blazing summer, one of the three ponies that Song Shufu had implanted with Corpse Horse Plague pathogens over a hundred days ago finally fell ill.
It was the one that had been implanted with the heated tissue fluid.
Then, as if this were some kind of signal, the remaining two sick horses also fell ill in succession.

Thus, a brand-new spirit-array tunnel scanning microscope was delivered at once.
