Chapter 110: Spreading Gu Poison
In the middle of the night, everyone in Group A sat around the campfire, eating barbecue and chatting about gossip.
Since gradually adapting to life on the battlefield, few people have complained anymore. At night, you can always see small groups scattered everywhere, and the topics discussed are always quite wide, like the dormitory meetings that are common in girls' dormitories.
"Everyone, have you ever thought of seducing the enemy female generals with your face? Women are the most emotional, once they are emotional, they must have disarmed and surrendered, right?"
"Okay, yes, I'm afraid that she will be an undercover agent at that time, you think you are playing with her, but in fact she is playing with you, and as a result, you honestly say everything. β
"Hahahaha, this is very likely!"
This group is just the delusions of a few ordinary boys. If you really want to seduce, they also know that they don't have that capital. But the more such people are, the more they like to gather together to dream, fantasizing that one day, there will suddenly be a beautiful woman who will throw her arms on her.
The other group, which is further away, is obviously more "high-end".
"Brother Xiao Liang, it seems that there have been fewer conflicts between you and Yan Yueque recently?" a young general asked curiously.
As a small transparent member of the team, some people will huddle together like the first few boys to keep warm, and it just so happens that everyone's status is about the same, and no one will look down on anyone. But there are also people who are trying to find ways to blend in with the upper class to "rub the heat". After all, where there are celebrities, the ratings must be the highest, and with them, you can barely make yourself familiar in front of the audience.
But what this man said was true. Thinking about it carefully, Rong Xiao and Yan Yueqian have recently quarreled as soon as they meet, and every time before the battle with Group B, they can discuss normally. Especially today, after Yan Yueque came to discuss the strategy, she stayed directly in City B, this kind of picture was never seen before!
Feng Boliang smiled and nodded: "Yes, because we found that although he loves to drill the horns, he is not a bad person." β
Rong Xiao also quickly agreed: "I used to argue with him for a few words, but now I think about it, it's not necessary." The more you are more serious about this type of person, the more he will have to be serious with you. But if you follow him in some small things, when it comes to big things, he will be able to listen to your opinion, which is much more effective than arguing. β
"Yes, he's just like Xiaowu, just a person who wants to fight seriously. Feng Boliang continued, "As long as you can make him feel that you are in the same way as him, then it will be fine." β
The two of them are in the same gear, full of tacit understanding, and they glanced at each other after the words and smiled. The audience was envious.
"You can really see it. Tang Duan also sighed. According to the current style of those young geniuses, what they believe in has always been "whoever has the big fist is the truth", no matter what kind of young master Tianxiao Pavilion you are, you can do it the same. Once you suffer a loss, it's like you're going to die. It is really rare to be able to "settle peacefully" like them.
At this time, a commotion suddenly sounded not far away, accompanied by the dull sound of fists and feet colliding. When a few people arrived, what they saw was a low-level trialist, frantically attacking several companions around him. The spirit skill that smashed open indiscriminately fell into the fire, and the flames exploded several feet and crackled.
Although the onlookers didn't know what to do, they all hurriedly stepped forward to stop them. In the chaos, Rong Xiao pushed the man's back with a palm, and under the vibration of spiritual power, he saw that the man's body trembled a few times, and he spit out a mouthful of blood. Although his face was a little pale, his eyes gradually became a little clearer.
In the blood water, you can also see a few wriggling Gu worms. Obviously, this is another similar case.
"What's the matter? Someone has been tricked again?" There were already more and more people coming around, and when they saw the Gu worms in the blood water, they were all shocked.
"He hadn't participated in the Gengcheng Battle before, how could he be hit by Gu?" Someone soon noticed a key point, "Could it be that the enemy has already lurked in?"
"Calm down. In the confusion, Tang Duan raised his voice, "Although he hasn't participated in the Battle of Gengcheng, he seems to have been very close to Fan Xin before, right?"
Facing everyone's gaze, he stepped forward step by step, "Just like a disease is contagious, Gu poison is likely to be contagious." Maybe Fan Xin was not the only one who fell into the Gu at that time, and there was more than one person who was infected in the later period. But during the incubation period, we can't tell who is infected. β
In this way, it is possible for everyone. Maybe now standing by their side...... It's a hidden infected!
The atmosphere changed instantly, and everyone stared at the people around them with vigilance. Nothing is known today, whether it is the identity of the infected or the number of infected people. And the most terrible thing is that if they are allowed to continue to mix in the crowd, then the infection will still spread -
Originally, I thought that the crisis that had ended after the poisonous Gu in Fan Xin's body was expelled had just begun.
Following Group B, the current Group A has also entered a state of mutual suspicion!
As stated in the mission document, perhaps the most dangerous thing in this trial is not your enemy. The only one who can really defeat you is yourself.
β¦β¦
The atmosphere of panic continued for several days, during which time anyone who behaved in the slightest suspicion was branded as a "suspected infected" and pulled out for quarantine. Everyone is already a soldier, and they are completely with an attitude of "I'd rather kill the wrong than let go".
Although some people have pointed out that such paranoia itself is a pathology, perhaps the loudest slogan is actually the real infected person, who is dividing us in this way. But such a voice was quickly silenced, and he was branded as an "infected", completely blocking his mouth.
Because, it is the majority that contributes to this behavior, and the "majority" can never be wrong.
Another night.
In the past, there were often people sitting by the fire and chatting at night, but now in this extraordinary period, except for the vigil, basically no one comes out again. The empty camp, darkened by the lack of firelight, was a bit desolate in the moonlight.
It was such a late night, but Yi Qingli was asked by a boy in the team to meet outside the camp.
The boy's name is Weng Kan, and he is also a member of the "Little Transparent". Usually, Yi Qingli has almost no contact with him, the two are not familiar with each other at all, and they don't know what the purpose of his late-night invitation is.
Originally, she didn't plan to go to the appointment for this kind of trouble-seeking thing. But it would not be good to think that if the other party was waiting for her alone in the woods, it would not be good to be attacked by an infected person. Or, the person himself was infected, and he was planning to ask her out to do itβ
To be honest, she was more expecting the latter possibility. It's better to get the infected out sooner rather than let him quietly blend in with the team. With her own means, she believes that at least safety is worry-free.
After coming to the agreed place, Weng Kan was already waiting there early. As soon as I saw her, I greeted her warmly.
"Qingli, I gave you the ...... before Have you seen it?"
"What?" Yi Qingli frowned. When she got closer, she saw that this Weng Kan had pimples on his face, and most of them usually didn't pay much attention to hygiene, and he looked quite sloppy. At first glance, she was already disgusted.
"Love letters!" unexpectedly he also emphasized enthusiastically, "I have written you a lot of love letters!"
Yi Qingli endured the nausea that quickly swelled up, and said lightly: "I'm sorry, I never read other people's love letters, and I never planned to fall in love." If you don't have anything else to say, I'll go back first. β
Before she turned around, Weng Kan grabbed her arm.
"What are you pretending to be? I don't believe you can really go without falling in love for the rest of your life?"
"Besides, aren't they all lightning love now? let's try it for a few days first, if it's not suitable, we can divide it!"
Yi Qingli struggled irritably: "It's still live now, you have a little respect, don't destroy your future!"
"What's wrong with the live broadcast? The live broadcast can also be happy with each other!" Weng Kan said confidently, "Don't worry, everyone will bless us!" As he spoke, he had already leaned over and kissed Yi Qingli on the face.
Yi Qingli finally couldn't bear it anymore, and slapped it with his backhand. She really didn't expect that the person who could pass the heavy assessment of the Tiangong Gate would have such a little rascal with no quality!
Weng Kan obviously didn't expect her to resist, and was beaten with a "snap", and on his face, he quickly burst into anger, making his face full of pimples even redder.
After a while, Weng Kan's eyes changed slightly, revealing a sinister meaning. Before Yi Qingli could react, he had already shouted at the top of his voice: "Come on! Qingli seems to be infected! Come and help!"
Yi Qingli was shocked and angry, she saw through Weng Kan's plan, and his shamelessness in changing his face was even more unexpected to her!
Soon, everyone rushed over. Under the threat of the inhabited, they didn't seem to sleep well, and they all had a lot of anger.
Yan Yueque first asked, "What's the matter?"
Weng Kan stepped forward a few steps and described it vividly: "Just now I saw Qingli sneaking around here alone, I kindly went over to remind her that it is not safe for you to be alone at such a late hour, do you want me to send you back, but she suddenly hit me!"
"Of course, I believe that Qing Li will definitely not be intentional. She must have been infected!" In order to deepen the credibility of his words, Weng Kan continued to nod his head sharply as he spoke.
After Yan Yueque heard this, a sharp gaze swept over: "Yi Qingli, what do you say?"
"I don't have anything to say. Yi Qingli sneered. Anyway, the wicked will always sue first.
"Then you admitted to attacking your companions?" Yan Yueque accentuated her tone.
"I didn't attack my companions. This time, Yi Qingli retorted unexpectedly.
"Because there are some people who don't deserve to be called companions at all. A flash of light in the corner of her eye, she threw it to Weng Kan, and her words were full of mockery.
"I don't have time to listen to your nonsense here. Yan Yueque was too lazy to analyze the meaning of her words, motioned for Yan Dong to hand over a bowl of medicine, and then sent it to Yi Qingli: "Drink this bowl of medicine." β
It was a medicine that was urgently researched by an alchemist after the outbreak of infection, and once a suspected patient was found these days, he couldn't help but give him medicine. However, due to the limited ability of the trialist, the formula used was rough and harmful to the human body, so after drinking it, it would reduce the health bar to a certain extent.
But as long as the potential crisis can be stifled, even if innocent people are cut off from their lives, these people will not take it to heart at all.
"I refuse. Yi Qingli just glanced at the medicine bowl and raised his head, "I'm not infected, why should I drink medicine?"
"Whether there is infection or not, it's not up to you to decide. Yan Yueque's tone was strong, "For everyone's safety, you must drink." β
"Yes, and Qing Li can still speak so rationally now, he doesn't look like he is infected at all, maybe it is because the Gu poison has evolved after it has multiplied!
"I don't think it's necessarily Gu Poison Evolution. Rong Xiao, who had been watching coldly so far, finally spoke, "I'm afraid it's because people's hearts have degenerated." β
"Qingli, you go back first, I'll deal with the rest of the matter with Ryoko. In front of Yan Yueque, Rong Xiao pulled Yi Qingli past and motioned for her to leave this place of right and wrong first.
Yi Qingli knew that he was at a loss for words now, and even if he stayed, it would only make things more complicated. After glancing at her gratefully, he buried his head and hurried out of the crowd.
Yan Yue didn't stop it, and soon, he gloated at Rong Xiao: "Okay, I want to see, how do you want to solve this trouble?"
Rong Xiao was unhurried and replied calmly: "In fact, Tang Duan is working on a procedure that can detect abnormal concentration fluctuations in the blood, and it will be completed in a few days. When the time comes, we will be able to know who the real infected are, and we will no longer have to be so suspicious of each other. β
"Theoretically, it's completely doable. Tang Du also nodded in agreement.
If that's the case, it's really a great favor! Everyone looked at each other in surprise and joy, and they were already tired of this atmosphere, and they had to keep an eye on whoever they were dealing with, beware of him suddenly having a poisonous attack...... If this continues, they haven't been defeated by Group B, but they will first become a pot of porridge!
"Yan Yueque, have you considered another possibility. In such a festive atmosphere, Rong Xiao continued, "Maybe it was actually him who fell for Gu and attacked Qing Li, so Qing Li could only be forced to fight back. Although he seemed quite sober, didn't he also say just now that Gu poison would evolve?"
"No......" Weng Kan obviously didn't expect him to hit him like this, and he waved his hand again and again: "I'm not infected!"
"Just now, Qingli also said that he was not infected. Rong Xiao replied lightly.
"That's right, medicine can't be wasted, someone always has to drink it. Yan Yueque glanced at Weng Kan, and slowly showed a hideous smile.
