Above The Sky (Yin Tianshen Yin) Chapter 224: Traces of life (1/4)
Six years ago, the aborigines relied on the spread of plague sources in the northern colonies of the South Ridge, causing a widespread plague called 'Flash Mosquito Disease' to appear in the Moldor colony, the Odor colony and the Midra Autonomous Region.
Although this plague was cut off from the source of infection by the bishop of the Huaiguang Church, "White Fog" from the very beginning, and it ended when all the infected were cured.
But in the early stage of the infection, the strange symptoms and high contagiousness did slow down the pace of the second-level ascetic monk, preventing him from rushing back to Port Harrison immediately to assist the viscount in fighting the totem lord.
According to subsequent analysis and sources, doctors found that flash mosquito disease is a parasitic disease transmitted by mosquito larvae.
The infestors poured infested water containing a large number of diseased larvae into wells and shared water tanks, resulting in the infection of many colonists.
Although the use of water as a medium is a common feature of many parasites, Yin En still couldn't help thinking about it a little bit.
——After all, the South China Sea ruins group is a sacred place for the indigenous people.
Since this is the case, isn't it a matter of course that some of the parasites in the holy land were kept by the natives and cultivated as some kind of plague poison?
Thinking of this, Yin En couldn't help but diverge a little more: "The flash mosquito disease back then is nothing more than that - the reason why Feiyan agents have appeared frequently in the recent period, the purpose of cooperating with the indigenous people... is really just Do you just want to use the natives to contain Harrison Port or Nanling Province?"
According to his thinking, strengthening the indigenous Gu poison and fighting biological warfare in Nanling is the most suitable method for Feiyan Land's strategic goals.
After all, they are dry and hot there, which naturally blocks most viruses and parasites, so there is no need to worry about backlashing the local area.
But the empire is in trouble, even if it can be cured, it will cause extreme instability in the local area.
Writing these down and putting them in the notepad of the silver chip, Yin En felt vaguely uneasy: "Although I don't know whether this parasite is naturally like this, or it was distorted and evolved by nuclear radiation or the spiritual energy field. It looks like this now, but this kind of strange creature is enough to explain the danger of the ruins."
"If this parasite is made into a biological weapon..."
——The native great shaman is indeed dead, and the crocodile is gone with him.
But the natives accepted the firearm assistance from Feiyandi, and there must be special agents behind them... Whether the opponent has been weakened or not is really unknown.
If this kind of parasite is discovered by Fei Yandi and made into a weapon, it is definitely not just a Nanling that is in danger.
There are really many things to worry about, Yin En shook his head slightly: "I hope, that Baiwu Bishop of Huaiguang Church really wiped out the flash mosquito disease back then."
"Otherwise, things would be much more difficult."
Stepping over the corpses of the lizards, Yin continued to move forward.
Walk through the solid stone bridge, and in front of you is the dark and unfathomable entrance passage of Sequoia Base.
This passage is quite wide, with a width of more than ten meters from left to right and a height of about twenty meters. It is obviously not a portal for humans to pass through. At least ordinary armor can enter and exit without any pressure. Even large siege equipment can easily pass through. access.
The ground and the walls on both sides are paved with large solid white rocks, and the top presents a semicircular dome structure supported by some kind of alloy skeleton. Although it has been thousands of years old, it is still very strong.
However, because of the karst cave waterfall in front and the small blue river next to it, it is also very humid here. The ground of the passage is full of slowly surging water, and there is also a weird smell of decay and rust in the air, which should be some kind of corrosion of iron. The smell of bacterial metabolites.
It smells bad, but it's not a miasma, so it doesn't affect breathing.
Walking through the passage, Yin En came to a rather bright hall.
It can be seen that this hall was originally a natural cave, and most of the decorative reliefs on both sides of the wall are slightly carved and reconstructed from the original calcified rock walls of the cave, with many strange star pictures engraved on it. And some giant flying ships...
If the natives of the Terra world came here, it is estimated that they would generally classify it as 'ancient fantasy murals of pre-epoch civilization', but Yin En knew that these murals were nothing more than some A view of an oddly shaped spaceship flying into the starry sky.
Sighing slightly, Yin En is now 100% sure that Sequoia Base should be the central base responsible for controlling the space elevator and orbital accelerator here. The nuclear fusion energy supply group responsible for supplying energy to these two giant structures should also be under the control of this place.
Of course, it must have other functions, otherwise, it would not be a general 'base', but a 'space engineering control center' or something.
"No wonder Mr. Hilliard has been looking for the door to enter this place... The big storm in the South China Sea is essentially a natural disaster caused by heat dissipation problems. If you don't make adjustments here, no one can solve it from the outside without damage. Heat dissipation in nuclear fusion power plants.”
Yin En nodded slightly and looked around the interior.
The interior of the hall is not empty, there are many messy bones and light sources here.
The skeletons include humans, as well as wild beasts and monsters. All of them have decayed into skeletons, and their clothes have turned into ashes. Only some stone and iron utensils at the bottom of the skeleton are still intact.
It is worth noting that these bones, even the bones of wild beasts, are very different from normal. They are either twisted and curled up into a ball, or the bones are scattered all over the place, as if they were brought to life by some kind of huge force. break up.
There are even some skeletons that seem to be sitting calmly on one side, but they are holding their own heads in their arms. Crushed like that, obviously experienced very extreme pain before death.
Yin En frowned and looked at the skeleton. He keenly noticed that there were many hypertrophic bone spurs on the skeleton that shouldn't exist.
The light source is some luminescent algae on both sides of the stone wall, which emits cold light without temperature, and still has a strong brightness after thousands of years.
Or, from the very beginning of the design, these algae lamps have taken into account the things that will happen after a thousand years?
And it looks a bit like fluorescent algae, but a little primitive...
In addition, there are many erected iron coffins in the hall, with transparent glass windows on them, and it can be seen that the iron coffins are filled with some kind of dark liquid.
It's just that these liquids are too turbid, even with Yin En's eyesight, he can't see the built-in contents clearly for a while.
In the vision of foresight, there are no other creatures in the hall, which is why Yin En can rest assured to observe carefully.
And he also noticed that there are creatures living here.
Part of the hall is filled with skeletons, and part of it is those strange iron coffins, but the other part, located in the corner of the hall, is some bonfires that have not been extinguished, and some scattered and chewed animal bones are placed beside them. Judging from the skull that has not been gnawed clean on one side, it should be some kind of giant rat.
In the sheltered place on the inner side, you can still see a few grass beds piled up with dry moss, with some dark traces beside them.
It appears to be blood.
