How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 604: It’s Good to Have the Princess Consort Here

Chapter 604: Chapter 604: It’s Good to Have the Princess Consort Here
Even though Pei Shu’er was startled by these people’s ruthlessness, she remained quite rational.
"Then what else can you offer us?"
Another man said, "We can lure Ye Kai out, allowing you to kill him at the right moment."
Tang Zan replied, "Alright."
Pei Shu’er said, "To be safe, I want to place a Puppet Gu on you. If you have even a hint of betrayal, the Puppet Gu will warn me."
Several people gritted their teeth, but there was no resistance.
"Yes, Princess Consort."
The process was incredibly smooth.
Those people left, carrying with them the design diagram of a malfunctioning cannon.
About half an hour later, Ye Kai was indeed lured out of the tent.
Ye Kai asked, "Where is the design diagram?"
Before finishing his words, he looked sharply around.
Suddenly, he took the knife and launched a proactive attack on Tang Zan.
Tang Zan and Ye Kai got entangled in a fight.
Ye Kai’s martial skills were unusually high; otherwise, he couldn’t have subdued a whole army.
Initially, Tang Zan was suppressed, but his endurance was renowned, and gradually, he turned the tide of defeat.
Finally, Tang Zan thrust his sword through Ye Kai’s abdomen, and Ye Kai collapsed onto the ground.
To ensure Ye Kai couldn’t revive, Tang Zan stabbed him several more times.
Before dying, Ye Kai looked at Tang Zan with hatred in his eyes.
"Just wait, I won’t let you off even as a ghost."
Tang Zan stabbed again, and soon, Ye Kai was completely dead.
However, after Ye Kai was buried, it wasn’t long before someone came by to dig him up, treating his wounds and removing the Fake Death Gu from his body.
Ye Kai was then placed in the Earth Evil Pavilion to recuperate.
He also met the woman in the black cloak.
"Rest well; soon, you’ll be useful again."
At this moment, Tang Zan and Pei Shu’er were among the rebel army.
Any rebels who still wanted to fight were killed.
Pei Shu’er looked at these people in the rebel army, feeling a chill down her spine.
These people hardly resembled humans anymore; calling them monsters wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
Everyone’s body was covered with large boils, the most terrifying being the ones oozing pus.
The rebel army knelt before Tang Zan.
The ones who had previously cut off their little fingers led: "We’ve long been tired of fighting and just want to live normal lives now."
Lin Xue also said, "It’s Ye Kai; he won’t release people, and anyone who tries to escape is treated ruthlessly. Over time, no one dares to flee."
Thinking of this, everyone shed a tear of bitterness.
Pei Shu’er sighed, "If you want to live normal lives, it’s very difficult now."
Everyone understood Pei Shu’er’s implication, but many shook their heads.
"We have no habit of eating... people; we’re simply starved, about to die."
This special group of people now numbered eighty thousand.
Wherever they were placed, it was a tricky number to handle.
They must be prevented from making a comeback.
Pei Shu’er asked, "Have you decided where to go?"
Lin Xue said, "We’ll scatter, and ask the War King to help us separate. As long as we have land and water, we’ll survive."
"Many of us still have seeds; we’ve not given up on farming."
Upon saying this, many wiped away their tears.
Pei Shu’er sighed and looked at Tang Zan, feeling deeply heavy-hearted.
Pei Shu’er asked, "Does your group have a doctor?"
Lin Xue nodded, "Yes, we do."
"Have your doctors classify your ailments. Then we’ll group similar patients together, allowing me to prescribe accordingly."
"Once I cure you, I’ll assign you accordingly."
Upon hearing this, everyone’s spirits soared.
They had prepared themselves to quietly await death, not expecting Pei Shu’er to say this.
Pei Shu’er aimed to treat people, considering the strong contagiousness of their diseases—it couldn’t be allowed to spread any further.
Otherwise, it would turn into another plague.
It would be incredibly frightening.
During the treatments, those addicted to cannibalism were restrained and specifically rehabilitated.
Only once they successfully quit could they be released; otherwise, they’d be confined for life, or face humane destruction.
Once illnesses were categorized, Pei Shu’er saw the myriad of symptoms and felt her scalp tingling.
No wonder the ancestors forbade cannibalism; damn, these diseases were terrifying.
Some illnesses were utterly untreatable.
Even someone as experienced as her hadn’t seen such cases.
Pei Shu’er first treated those who could be cured, but for severe cases, she was powerless.
It wasn’t until then that Tang Zan looked at Pei Shu’er.
Pei Shu’er raised an eyebrow, "What’s up?"
Tang Zan kissed Pei Shu’er.
"Just thinking, having a Princess Consort like you is wonderful."
Many decisive advantages were created by Pei Shu’er.
Without Pei Shu’er, they would have had to gather all these people, not letting them disperse, leaving them to fend for themselves.
However, now there were still so many people remaining, despite the ongoing daily deaths from the plague; in the end, fifty thousand were cured.
And these fifty thousand had relatively mild symptoms.
As for those addicted to cannibalism, their symptoms were the worst, and they mostly ended up killing each other before treatment could begin.
Thus, quarantine and rehabilitation were unnecessary.
Afterward, the cured people were dispersed to different places to live.
However, in essence, the drought issue remained unresolved.
The drought had lasted so long that the underground water Pei Shu’er previously dug out was already depleted.
Thus, Pei Shu’er turned her attention to artificial rain.
This task was much more difficult than using the water finder, but still easier than in her past life.
According to the original text’s records, this drought was set to last for another year and a half, potentially causing more deaths.
Even if no one died, a new Ye Kai or rebel army would arise.
Then, things might become even worse.
Currently, even the soldiers were unpaid.
Without her mysterious grain store in town, many would be starving.
However, she arrived in a time when artificial rain was still theoretically viable only under ideal physical conditions.
Artificial rain was scientifically termed as artificial rain enhancement.
Given the current circumstances, saving Dayan still required artificial rain.
She recalled a lesser-known experiment from later times — one involving artificial rain.
So, Pei Shu’er began searching for video materials again.
Luckily, electronic searches were very fast, and Pei Shu’er soon found them, watching the entire experiment from start to finish.
After watching, she inevitably felt a bit disappointed.
From nothing to something, but the rainfall was astonishingly small.
It utilized the moisture in the air.
Given this weather, how much moisture could be in the air?
