Chapter 51: The Savior

Packing up the psionic crystals, the agents of Zion began to study the corpses of the guides again.

Why do good people suddenly go crazy?

If you're crazy, you're crazy, and it's not one or two people in this world who suddenly go crazy, and I don't care about more of them. But why do they still chant incantations after they go crazy?

Recite mantras, just recite incantations, there are many fools who worship evil gods, and everyone can recite incantations. But why do others chant mantras just to hypnotize themselves, but they recite mantras to bring the dead back to life?

There are many similar problems, and you can't write them all on a single piece of paper.

Anhill, who knew biology, stayed behind to take care of the wounded and study the corpses. Electric Snake and Turin set out again to find a so-called "cure for the psionic-infected" in a long-abandoned city.

But the city was so big that it took them a day to search less than a fifth of the area.

It would take at least five days to search the entire city.

This was in the Zion's plan, and they brought enough food and water to feed twenty people for ten days. Now there are only seven people left, and it's no problem to save a little food for a month.

A month is enough.

The following days passed relatively peacefully, and everyone was busy with their own injuries, searches, and researches.

Pan Long didn't need to heal his injuries, he didn't know what to search for, and he didn't understand biology and psionic medicine, so he cultivated with peace of mind.

I got up every morning, had breakfast, and then found an open space to lie down, basking in the sun and practicing the Nine Turns Xuangong, refining the power of the earth in my body.

In addition to eating and sleeping, he spent almost all of his time cultivating.

The big horn who was recuperating from his injuries was curious about his cultivation method and offered to learn it.

Pan Long didn't hide his selfishness, and taught him the refining method of the Nine Turns Xuangong - it's not that he didn't want to teach the complete Nine Turns Xuangong, but it was really that there were too many exclusive concepts of Kyushu martial arts in this kung fu introduction section, what meridians, true qi, yin and yang...... After explaining these things one by one, he was afraid that he would not have to write a book specifically.

Moreover, he himself is actually not very proficient in the Nine Transformations Xuangong, and he is still in the stage of making progress while groping, where is he qualified to teach people in detail?

Just to teach the convenient method for refining the xenogeneous energy in his body, it cost him at least three catties of spit.

God knows why it's so simple, even obvious at a glance, but Big Horn doesn't understand it, so much so that he gives more than a dozen examples before he can barely make sense.

Bighorn looks pretty smart!

Fortunately, it took five days for Dajiao to finally reluctantly learn the refining method.

After learning it, he learned Pan Long and lay down under the sun to practice and refine.

Pan Long didn't understand what he wanted to refine, and he didn't have the power of the earth in his body......

After a day of good luck, at dinner in the evening, the big horn with sunburned skin was very red and said excitedly: "That method really works!"

Pan Long looked at him with a wink, not understanding what he meant.

"The spiritual energy in my body has been weakened!"

Pan Long still didn't understand, but the electric snake jumped up violently.

"Psionic weakened?" she asked aloud.

"That's right. ”

"Not 'consumed', but 'weakened'?"

"That's right. ”

"Are you sure?"

"That's right!"

The electric snake's eyes were almost glowing, and he dragged Franke, who had been in a coma for three days due to poisoning and was still sick: "Hurry up, hurry up, learn from the teacher!"

"What are you studying?"

"Of course, it's to learn this method of weakening psionic energy!" the electric snake exclaimed.

Franca sighed and said, "It's hard to learn. ”

The electric snake grabbed her by the collar and yelled almost face to face: "No matter how difficult it is, you have to learn! If you don't want to die, learn it quickly!"

Franke pushed her face away in disgust, wiped the foaming stars from her face, and sighed.

"Mr. Pan, do you mind having one more stupid student?" she asked.

Pan Long sighed: "Okay, if you want to learn, I'll teach you." ”

He really minded having one more stupid student, but after all, life matters.

After these days of getting along, he has come to understand what "psionic energy" is all about—people in this world are using psionic energy, or they are exposed to things that contain psionic energy, or for some other messy reason...... All in all, they are sometimes corrupted by psionic energy, causing their constitution to change, and they have the ability to create and control psionic energy.

This is known as a "psionic infection", and the infected person will have superpowers, some of which can be so powerful that a single person can rival an army.

But this is not a good thing, because the process of using psionic powers—a polite or kind term for "psionics"—will increase the degree of their infection. When the psionic infection reaches a certain level, they will gradually fall into madness, and some will turn into monsters, while others will simply explode and turn into a roaring psionic flame.

That kind of explosion is called a "psionic explosion".

Once caught up in a psionic outbreak, if not properly protected and lucky, it can be almost 100% infected. Even if you don't get involved in the psionic outburst and get along with psionics a lot, you can easily get infected if you don't have the right means of protection.

Therefore, the people of this world are very repulsive to psionics, and even often persecute them.

But the psionics are strong! strong! strong!

This is important, so it needs to be emphasized three times.

There have been many fierce conflicts between psionics and groups that discriminate and persecute them, and the heads of countries and organizations that have died because of these fierce conflicts have totaled more than 100 people, and the countries and organizations that have been destroyed are innumerable on both hands.

In the midst of repeated conflicts, several influential organizations have gradually formed among the psionics.

The "Zion" where the big horn is located is one of them.

This group is relatively modest, and their purpose is to contain and treat psionics, improve their living conditions, and ease conflicts between psionics and ordinary people.

Of course, "moderation" is only relative, and when confronted with such fierce extremists, whether the opponent is a psyker or an ordinary person, Zion's operators do not mind stabbing and shooting them and sending them to death.

It's better to die one person than a group of people.

It's better for a family to cry than for thousands of families to cry.

Compared to Zion, another well-known psionic organization, the United Crowd, is completely different.

The group proclaimed that psionic energy was the right direction for human evolution, and called on psionics to stand up and infect as many people as possible, with the goal of making all of humanity psionic.

As for the question of psykers eventually going mad, turning into monsters or even exploding, they say that progress is bound to go through the throes of progress.

This argument is incredibly tempting for psionics, especially those who are young or at the bottom of society. They will always be seduced by this set, and like moths to a fire, they will actively devote themselves to the "great road", and finally either die silently somewhere, or blow up into flames with a group of people.

But their sacrifice, strictly speaking, really makes sense.

After all, Zion is too moral—as a white organization, this is the principle they have to follow. Many times, for those countries and organizations that persecute psykers, Zion is really inconvenient to deal with.

The United Crowd is different, for whom all non-psionics are enemies. So they don't care about morality at all—or rather, although they preach morality to some extent, their morality is only for those who are willing to be friendly with psionics.

Therefore, this organization is actually the greatest deterrent to the psionics - those rulers have proper protection, and they are not afraid of psionic infection. But no matter how good their protective means are, they can't help but have a large group of supermen watching day and night, ready to die with them at any time.

Just as the deterrent power of a nuclear bomb lies in its ability to destroy chaebols and high-ranking officials—whether from the perspective of life or power—when the psionics prove in practice that "all beings are equal in the face of self-detonation", there is room for easing the contradictions between ordinary people and psykers.

...... After all, no one wants to deal with the congregation, so even if it is a "minutiae" to make concessions to Zion, it is acceptable.

According to this logic, it seems that Zion can live a very prosperous life.

But in fact, on the contrary, Zion's organization, from the "doctors", "queens", and "chimeras" at the top to the support staff at the bottom, everyone is busy every day, such as being too busy at work and lacking sleep, or losing hair due to too much stress...... It's just a daily routine.

It is said that the "doctor" has to work more than 20 hours a day, it is said that the "queen" has to rely on large doses of drugs to calm the water, and it is said that the "Chimera" has less than a year left to live because of extreme overdraft......

If these are just "said", then Electric Snake, Anhill and Turin are busy every day, which is a fact that Pan Long has seen with his own eyes.

Everything they are busy with is only for one goal.

Remove psionic infections, heal psionic infections, and restore peace to this world.

But until now, there has been no more efficient treatment for psionic infections.

The "Doctor" was a genius scholar who developed a variety of drugs that could alleviate psionic infections, and "Zion" became a world-famous pharmaceutical company.

But "relief" and "healing" are completely different!

Moreover, the drugs that relieve psionic infections are too expensive!

The "doctor" himself doesn't expect to make money from these drugs - he's an idealist, and if sacrificing himself to save all psionics, he'd definitely die with a smile.

But for Zion to function, it needs money.

And...... The production cost of those drugs is already very high.

In this case, once infected with psionic energy, unless it is a wealthy family, it is almost inevitable that it will slide in the direction of family ruin.

All Zion can do is save as many people as possible.

Every stranded fish on the beach wanted to be rescued, but the kid who saved them couldn't save all the fish, he could only save even a tiny part of them.

And now, the situation has changed.

A few days later, when Franca also controlled the deepening spiritual energy infection through the refining method, and even began to slowly weaken, she cried for the first time.

cried a lot, without a little calm and elegant appearance.

Then, the agents of Zion unanimously decided to leave for HQ immediately!

Could the ruins of Skolap contain ancient people's means of fighting psionic infection?

it! Who cares!

The means to combat psionic infection were in front of them at this moment, and even they had already obtained it.

"Mr. Pan, you may not realize it. On the night he left the ruins of Skolap, Big Horn said to Pan Long in a serious manner, "Your technology will save the world!"

"Is it so exaggerated?" Pan Long said embarrassedly by his words.

"Even more exaggerated than I said!" Bighorn's tone was extremely firm, "You are the true savior of this world!"
