The number of people poisoned by the Green Corpse Cold surged from 100,000 to 500,000.
Li Wei was stunned when he heard the news.
Lancelot, however, remained perfectly calm.
Soon after, the City Lord's Mansion and the Divine Hall of Light announced publicly that there had been an error in the initial count.
They claimed there had always been that many infected people.
It was just that their symptoms had been too mild.
That was why they hadn't been included in the tally.
By afternoon, the incubation period for the Green Corpse Cold had passed, and the potent poison fully erupted.
Only then did the numbers skyrocket.
They told the residents of Storm City not to panic, that the Divine Hall of Light would soon provide a solution.
The residents of Storm City suddenly noticed that not a single person under the Divine Hall of Light's jurisdiction had been poisoned.
