My Post-Apocalyptic Shelter Levels Up Infinitely! Chapter 794: The prelude to the tide of corpses, the countdown to the return!
Chapter 797 The prelude to the tide of corpses, the countdown to the return!
The mighty Longxian River runs through the entire wasteland.
The weather in December is already slightly cold, and the breeze blows on the river, blowing the chill that makes people shrink their necks.
As the most unsuitable season for travel, it is also the winter when all creatures subconsciously rest.
On the surface of the Longlin River.
A fleet that stretches for several miles is moving forward firmly, and the crew members everywhere have put on thick and warm cotton clothes.
Hundreds of small boats take the lead, and hundreds of large ships hang down.
Compared with when the fleet first set off three months ago, the large and small ships in the Yuan Fleet are now constantly sailing and fighting, and they have lost their previous brand-new appearance.
Most of the exterior of the ship can already see undisguised patches and scars.
Even the tail of the main cruiser in the center of the fleet can see an obvious dark gap, which has not been repaired yet.
But it was precisely because of this that the entire fleet lost a bit of glitz and became more calm.
It lost the elegance of the past, and added a frightening ferocity.
The upper deck of the ship.
Su Mo picked up a cup of hot **** tea sent by the guards, leaned against the railing and took a sip, the tea with a strong **** taste went straight down his throat, raising a pleasant puff warmth.
There is no reference for the time during the voyage, and it passes extremely quickly. It often takes three to five days to reach the destination in one voyage.
After more than three months, the Changlong Xianjiang that goes down the Tianyuan Territory has been leveled by him for two-thirds of the way by various means.
Now it is not far from the destination of this trip, the Longwei River at the end.
It will take at most another month or so before all the missions of this trip can be completely completed and this business route will be opened up.
And.
Along the way, whenever he went to a new place, the first thing he did was try his best to find out all kinds of news.
From the most common information about the refuge of the predecessors, to the excavation information of ruins with some value, to various mineral resources, natural resources, and energy resources.
It doesn’t matter whether it has been excavated by someone, whether it has an owner in this time period, or even whether it has lost its previous value.
Relying on trading points and materials to open the way, Sumo has collected hundreds of pieces of information about the ruins alone, and there are even more about minerals, rare treasures, and so on.
Not only that, relying on the increasingly powerful influence of the fleet during the journey, he will also see novel technologies in large and small territories along the way, and use various means to exchange, buy, and **** them.
Anything that is beneficial to the development of the territory, and any potentiality, Sumo will accept them all, and print out a copy of all of them without missing a single one, and keep them in his pocket.
Today, the number of these technologies is close to 50, involving hundreds of categories.
Although these technologies are still not enough compared to the bottom-pressing technology of the Yusanjia Territory.
And the game may not necessarily let him bring back all the gains at the end of the relic quest.
But this level is already the limit of what he can do.
The next step is to complete the various tasks assigned by the game, try to pile up the scores as high as possible, and strive for better rewards.
The hot tea in the cup was about to be sipped one by one, and Sumo withdrew his thoughts. He let out a mouthful of hot air, forming a pale white circle in the air.
Compared with the collected information, he is actually more concerned about how adventurer terminals are made in the Adventurer League.
After learning about the power of the sea, and further testing with Xing Yue along the way.
As for the adventurer terminal, he is now 100% sure that this ten times, definitely uses a power similar to the power of the ocean.
Only this kind of power can open up the space and store items in it.
According to the news that Sumo has been trying to find out from the headquarters of the Adventurers Alliance during the past three months, the production of the terminal is actually not the same as the place where the task is released.
A place that cannot be found in the three major territories, he wants to find the production site of this device and get the production materials in it.
Extremely difficult!
Unless the other party comes to the door by himself!
Crackling.
There was a sound of the hatch opening on the deck, coming from the left side, which attracted Somo's attention.
"Master Su, our Tianyuan Fleet is already approaching the Fu'an United Territory. According to the news from previous investigations, although a pier has been spontaneously built here to accommodate our berthing, the blood epidemic in their territory is already very serious. Seriously, it started to spread outward. Do you think we should avoid it?" Zhang Long, director of the Fleet Data Integration Department, came over with a thick book.
Behind him, Liu Neng, the minister in charge of personnel coordinator, was not slow, and also flashed out from the opened door.
“The Fu’an United Territory is actually a temporary camp, with a current population of about 30,000. 60% of the people are suffering from blood plague, the situation is not optimistic, the threat level is currently judged as orange-red"
"Is it already this serious?"
Along the way, Sumo left most of the voyage tasks to Lu Yongyi because he needed to collect all kinds of information.
Including the blood plague that was gradually raging, he only heard about it, and didn't really take it to heart.
Now listening to the report of the two, he began to frown and take the information, and sat on a raised place on the deck to read it.
"The transmission channel of the blood epidemic is currently unknown, and there are three known channels"
"First, through blood transmission, once a small amount of blood exchange occurs, the disease will immediately take root in the new host"
"Second, through gas transmission, dead bodies infected by blood plague cannot be burned, but can only be buried. Once burned, blood plague gas will be produced, and the disease will be infected by inhalation of the mouth and nose"
"Third, liquid transmission, drinking a large amount of liquid mixed with the blood of infected people will also be called the target of the epidemic"
The beginning of the material introduces in detail the general infection route of the blood plague and its manifestations after the onset.
In the early days, the infected will only have an impulse towards flesh and blood, and have an irrepressible desire to hunt.
In the middle stage, the body of the infected person will decline rapidly, and a large area of organ failure will begin to occur, followed by complications.
In the later stage, the blood of the infected person will gradually decrease, and gradually degenerate into a mummified corpse until death.
"So scary?"
Su Mo was shocked, and hurriedly continued to read the information below.
It is already early December, and there are still about five months before the tide of corpses arrives.
But before this, why did a blood plague suddenly appear? Isn’t this
etc
Looking through the various cases collected later, a thought flashed through Su Mohu's mind.
"Could it be?!"
People infected with blood plague will not be able to restrain their desire to attack and try to attack their own kind.
And after being attacked for blood exchange, the same kind will also be infected into new blood plague receptors.
This point is similar to the so-called main force zombies in the upcoming zombie tide crisis.
And if you look at the mid-term and later stages aside, this so-called blood plague is just like the prelude to the corpse wave!
If you don't control it, I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for the tide of corpses to arrive.
The number of human beings must be reduced by at least half first!
"Over there in the territory, what about the research on blood plague?"
"The blood plague cannot be cured. Unless the infected individual is replaced with blood in a short period of time, and all the old blood is replaced, there is a slight possibility of recovery. Other methods can only delay the time and pain of the onset"
Being stared at by Su Mo, Liu Neng felt a little hairy.
"But a few days ago, the Academy of Sciences has researched and formulated a blood plague inhibitor, which can greatly delay the life time of the infected person and reduce the pain caused by the disease. After we received the formula and made it, the infection on the ship People have also verified the treatment effect, it is indeed very good"
"Take me to see" Su Mo stood up without hesitation.
If the blood plague is really the prelude to the outbreak of the corpse tide, then keeping these infected people on board will turn into bombs at any time.
It is unclear where Connie, who was assigned by him to study the virus, has gone for the past eight years.
There is no way to see and hear what kind of disaster happened in the wasteland two years ago, and whether the so-called zombie disaster broke out.
Su Mo was extremely cautious, and soon followed the two to the medical room in the cabin of the cruiser.
"Please also ask the commander to put on this protective suit, just in case"
It is said to be a medical room, but it has actually become a small prison, with arm-thick steel bars outside to tie up all possible places to escape.
Put on the black heavy protective clothing handed over by the medical staff, Su Mo coughed lightly, and strode in.
Into the nose, there is a strong smell of disinfectant.
There are quite a few beds in the medical room, and a quick glance reveals that there are over a hundred people.
Taking so-called inhibitors, these people are still in good spirits. Before they noticed him coming in, there were still many people playing poker and chatting.
It wasn't until the door opened that he stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"How do you feel about your body? Do you have any strange feelings?"
Walking to the No. 1 hospital bed where the infection lasted the longest, Su Mo sat down and looked at the middle-aged man with a sallow complexion.
It's better than expected. Compared with the zombies I saw on the train before, these people obviously still have complete rationality.
This made Su Mo feel a little relieved.
"Commander, apart from... being very thirsty and wanting to drink blood, I have no other feelings"
"Yes, yes, I still want to fight with someone, and I always feel dissatisfied with the other party." He touched his head embarrassingly, and the man did not dare to lie, and honestly explained all his symptoms.
"How about you, how do you feel?" Su Mo looked at the second hospital bed again.
The infected person is a muscular woman. Compared with the middle-aged man, his complexion is much better, and there is a slight blush in it.
When asked by Su Mo, the woman shook her head again and again: "Commander, I don't have the same feelings as Lao Liu, I just do."
"Just what?" Seeing the woman shy, Su Mo asked repeatedly.
"Uh, uh, my desire is wrong, because the demand in that area has increased a lot"
hiss.
Through the protective clothing, seeing the woman's bright eyebrows, Su Mo immediately shuddered and walked to the hospital bed at the back.
This blood plague is too strange, isn't everyone's symptoms different?
"Commander, I also want to drink blood, and I have always had an irresistible urge to run out and jump continuously. You look at my legs, they have grown stronger recently, and I feel like I can jump three meters now High!"
"Commander, I want to eat meat. They said that my metabolism has become very fast, so I have to consume high calories all the time. But look at me, my strength has become great now, let me give you a 60kg Dumbbells are easy"
"Commander, I want to drink blood and eat meat. The changes in my body are not obvious, but I feel that my brain is much smarter than before. Do you think my head is much bigger than before? "
"Commander, I'm so thirsty, I need to drink more than ten or twenty liters of fresh water every day, I used to only have one hundred and ninety catties, but now it's three hundred and ninety catties, and my skin, It's getting rougher and thicker."
"Commander"
Time passes by little by little.
Somo kept walking backwards, listening to these people's expressions of their symptoms.
Compared with the people suffering from the blood plague in the data, most of the people treated in the medical cabin are in good condition.
Neither one died from the treatment, nor did anyone suffer so much that they couldn’t get out of bed.
But the more he heard about these different symptoms, the colder Sumo felt when he mentioned that he was in mid-air.
No other.
Once the symptoms of the epidemic are more diverse, the possibility of complete treatment is lower.
Hundreds of people, more than 30 different symptoms.
This alone already shows how difficult this blood plague is.
And if these people acquire different abilities, they will become members of the corpse tide in the future.
Su Mo walked out of the medical cabin with a gloomy face, took off his protective clothing, and walked towards the cabin where Lu Yongyi was.
Sure enough, I still underestimated the game's description of the difficulty of the zombie tide in the mission.
This kind of world-destroying disaster will obviously not come in five months.
But now, a clue has been revealed.
Based on the remaining time of the voyage, at least three months will be wasted in the remaining five months.
With only two months left, even though it was already close to the upper limit of human biology, Su Mo was not sure of researching a way to restrain the blood plague in such a short period of time.
"It seems that I have to return early, I must find the technology of the adventurer terminal as soon as possible, and return to the territory to study the way to fight the blood epidemic"
"Complete the task and get the reward, and I can bring back the things I found"
"I can't finish it, I only take the subsistence allowance, and I can barely take the battle armor away, and it's too bad if I can't take the rest"
Go all the way up.
Sumo's first thought was to find a way to find Anzi Connie, who was researching the fight against the zombie virus.
On the surface, he established a laboratory underground in the Magu Refuge, and asked Yan Xiaqing to be in charge of researching the antidote.
But in fact, Connie, who was secretly sent out, was not idle, and she was also tasked with research.
If it is determined that this blood epidemic is related to the previous zombie virus, then there must be something in common between the two, and a lot of research procedures can be omitted.
Just searched the territory in the game panel now, but couldn't find any information about Connie.
There is no accurate information on where the remaining alien races fled.
If you want to find it, everything is still necessary
"Adventurer Alliance, it seems that it is necessary to take another risk!"
"Fortunately, there is old Lu here, and he is responsible for the rest of the fleet. I can rest assured that I can drive without delay."
Su Mo was sure, pushed open the door of Lu Yongyi's cabin and walked in.
Fu'an Great United Territory.
Temporary dock.
Earlier, when the Tianyuan Fleet was going all the way down the Changlong Xianjiang, it actually needed to send people to build a dock.
Few territories will send manpower and material resources to build facilities in order to welcome the arrival of this obviously aggressive fleet.
But with the settlement of the three major battles.
Tianyuan Fleet broke up six large territories with its own strength.
The situation has gradually changed!
When more and more people saw the strength of the Tianyuan Fleet and saw the changes in the interests of those territories they passed along the way.
From being afraid of the arrival of the fleet to looking forward to the arrival of the fleet.
It only took a month, and most civilians even spontaneously went to build the dock, hoping that the Tianyuan Fleet would come over soon.
"Brother Xun, do you think we can be the first to trade with Mr. Su?"
Watching countless ships approaching from a distance, the group of children led by Zhou Xun crowded nervously at the front of the pier.
They looked at the mighty Tianyuan cruiser, and their eyes radiated anticipation and envy from the inside out.
"Of course, I have collected a lot of information, Mr. Su will definitely be interested!"
Zhou Xun spoke confidently, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.
Different from ordinary people in the camp, his way of getting information is not limited to word of mouth.
Relying on the device he obtained by accident, he can even communicate with people from a long distance, and he has already figured out Master Su's preferences.
As long as the fleet stops, he will rush up immediately, there is absolutely no problem.
unless
"Brother Xun, the speed of the fleet doesn't seem to be slowing down, they"
Pointing at the small ships that passed by in front of them, some people couldn't help but roared from the air, their eyes excited.
However, many people suddenly discovered that the route of the fleet is still on the center line, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
"Don't worry, they must have reserved space for Mr. Su's car~IndoMTL.com~ Zhou Xun comforted the people around him, and also comforted himself.
Along the way, the fleet stopped in the territory of thousands of people. There are 30,000 people in their Fu'an United Territory, so there is no reason to stop!
As long as the Tianyuan cruiser stops, as long as it stops.
Staring at the tall ship with the blue and red military flag, Zhou Xun kept talking and praying in his heart.
However.
When the ship sailed past the dock without any hesitation, maintaining a high-cold posture.
When more and more people around shouted "stop", some even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to beg each other to park.
He suddenly found out.
Fate, made a joke with everyone present, hoping that it did not belong to anyone present.
Everything he did, everything he worked hard for.
Facing the cruel reality, it is like ordinary people facing a blood plague, and there is nothing they can do!
