Dark Mist Mountains, Iron Wall High Cliff

After obtaining the Reveal Powder that can detect the hidden "Grey Mud", the station began to operate nervously and orderly.

First, under the commander's arrangement, sick and unwell personnel were separated into 20 different areas, and no movement was allowed between them.

Daily catering food will be delivered to various areas by hanging baskets. The personnel who prepare the food are all members who are not infected with "Grey Mud", and the kitchen and central medical room are strictly spreading "Reveal Powder powder" to find and clean "Grey Mud" to prevent the spread of infection.

After first stabilizing the situation and preventing repeated infections, "Blazing Sun" Aspect Power Transcendent in the station began to disinfect and clean various areas and spaces of Iron Wall High Cliff.

After each room or corridor is cleaned, they will temporarily seal off the area. After three days, if there are still no traces of "Grey Mud" after spreading "Reveal Powder", it means that the area has indeed been cleaned.

Just like that, because of the powder that could find "Grey Mud", the entire station began to stabilize the situation little by little and gradually cleaned up.

The team led by Sylutia stayed in the camp for two days and had a good rest. After the members recovered, she led her people to the camp of "Iron Wall High Cliff" again to participate in auxiliary work.

Considering that Sylutia and others are all second-level, the commander arranged them in the logistics area and asked Sylutia to assist in dispatching.

Four days later, a new batch of grain was shipped from Lantern Town and arrived at Iron Wall High Cliff to supplement the consumption here.

A week later, support from the Woodland headquarters finally arrived. This was a team composed of doctors and Purifier, most of whom were from "Holy Lamp Association", "White Scroll Herb Pot", and "Ash Rose".

"Sending "Holy Lamp Association" who is good at light identification and "White Scroll Herb Pot" who has many doctors, I understand, but what happened to "Ash Rose"?" The commander looked at the documents and letters given to him, his voice unhappy.

""Ash Rose" means that if we can't control it, the entire station will be cleaned up by them." The scholar consultant on the side pushed up his glasses and answered clearly.

"Those "Ash Rose" members wearing gray robes and stationed on the cliff mountain road are the last line of defense. If we cannot eradicate and prevent the spread, they will perform the "Death Ash Annihilation" ritual and raze the entire station to the ground."

"The Association is really well prepared. I guess the announcement to help us deal with the aftermath has been written in advance." Another Knight shook his head and complained.

"It was almost announced that Dark Mist Mountains's stronghold suffered an unknown attack and was completely destroyed. Then they sealed the place and found another location to establish an observation station."

"Although I understand, I still feel uncomfortable with this feeling."

"Okay, let's not talk anymore, the representative of "White Scroll Herb Pot" is coming." The commander knocked on the table to make the conference hall quiet for the time being.

A few minutes later, led by a silver-haired girl, a group of doctors dressed in white and wearing white bird masks arrived.

These members are all shrouded in white robes, and their faces are covered by white bird masks. There are Purification filtering herbs rolled in the beaks, which can prevent "Grey Mud" from penetrating into the body.

"... This is the conference hall." Sylutia introduced these new doctors.

Because she can see the subtle hidden "Grey Mud", she is not afraid of the damage from these things, and she is also the first person to participate in and create "Reveal Potion Powder". She is particularly familiar with the strange life of "Grey Mud". When the supporting medical team arrived this time, she introduced the situation on behalf of the staff in "Iron Wall High Cliff".

This group of members wearing "White Scroll Herb Pot" came to the hall and stood still. The leader bent slightly and saluted the commander sitting at the top.

"I am Zelalin·Cuifeng, currently the patrol envoy of "White Scroll Herb Pot". This time I will lead the team to support "Iron Wall High Cliff"."

This doctor Bai is "Fifth Order" and Aspect Power is "Radiant Moon·Emerald Nectar". He is knowledgeable and experienced. When he said his name, the commander sitting at the top also stood up quickly.

"So it's you, please sit down."

The name Zelalin Cuifeng is known and circulated by many people in the Woodland. He has rich experience in medical treatment. Healing participated in the battle against the evil dragon in the cave forty years ago. He treated the warriors who were corroded by the evil flames of the poisonous dragon and eliminated toxins. He is good at resolving various toxins and curse corrosion.

The white doctor nodded slightly and sat down facing everyone, while the white bird doctors behind him continued to stand beside him.

In the subsequent meeting, the team of doctors led by him inquired in more detail about the spread of "Grey Mud" within Iron Wall High Cliff, as well as the origin and time of first discovery of "Grey Mud".

"... It seems that this should be a brand-new monster that mutated from the depths of the Twilight Sea." After gradually understanding the situation, he analyzed.

"Because "Distortion" has polluted Twilight Sea, the creatures growing and living there are subject to mutations and Distortion all the time, and there are always things that we don't know and have never seen before."

"Presumably, this is also a brand new species that escaped from it."

"Now that the situation is understood, please rest assured. I will work with the members to develop a special therapeutic agent as soon as possible."

"In addition, "Holy Lamp Association" who comes with us will also bring more detection methods and methods of isolating infection to ensure that the entire process proceeds effectively and stably."

The other side inside Iron Wall High Cliff.

Accompanied by Dorothy, members wearing masks and holding candles shuttled around the fortress.

They placed special candles in the aisles and doors, and pasted notes filled with words.

"We worship the eternally radiant spirit and the eternally blazing God. May your eyes be fixed on you, and no evil and wicked person will be allowed to step through this door."

Candles were placed on the threshold. They emitted a faint halo, illuminating the surrounding walls and the notes on the door frame. Then a blurry halo of eyes opened above the threshold, looking inside and outside.

[Candle Gate]; Through the door lit by this ritual, no invisible, Ghost, evil shadow, or tiny creature can enter or exit. Unless they recite the words on the door frame, they can pass through safely.

"Grey Mud" does not understand human language and has no intelligence, so naturally they cannot pass through this door. If they follow human clothes through the door, they will be burned and lit up by Bright Flame, revealing their physical shape.

With the assistance of "Holy Lamp Association" members, the entire Iron Wall High Cliff began to be blocked and divided. Even if there was "Grey Mud" infection in the body, they had the means to identify it.

In the snow-covered fortress, lamps and candles were lit day and night, Burn, any tiny dark corner was illuminated, flowing golden flames poured out from the candles, flooding the rooms and corners like water, and began to clean up the environment here.
