Chapter 1678: Illness Comes from the Mouth
Margill's eyes widened, her mouth opened slightly, and her eyebrows were raised, looking overly surprised. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Did you think of something?"
The expression was clear, "Ah, I remembered, but it shouldn't be possible!"
So, Ms. Mercenary, what do you remember?
"Nope. Magel shook her head, "I don't know, it shouldn't be." ”
"Wouldn't it be better for us to refer to it together. ”
Magel bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before uttering two words, "Worm meat." ”
Vincent, who was in charge of the question, looked puzzled, not quite understanding what Magill meant.
"After being put here, I met a lot of zergs, except for me and Mike," Magel pointed to another mercenary and continued, "Everyone else has eaten freshly hunted zergs, and they have all gone crazy one after another, is it because of this?"
This is ridiculous!
Such a simple and unwinding answer may sound impossible at first glance, but when you think about it, it seems very possible.
Viral infection is nothing more than so many ways of transmission, and it is not impossible for the so-called disease to enter from the mouth, and it is not impossible to eat the source of viral infection.
"But they've tested it before they eat it, and the Zerg meat has always been eaten. ”
Mandel's scientist's head quickly got up to work, and a flash of inspiration flashed: "Maybe this is a latent complex cell, which does not cause any effect on the human body in a single case, and naturally cannot detect any problems, but when it enters the human body and reacts with certain body elements, it grows into a virus and causes serious damage to the brain." ”
Sometimes things are too simple and easy to overlook.
If this is true, it would be ridiculous that the Templars did so much to investigate this, and also cheated a lot of free mercenaries.
Eating insect meat is a very common thing for humans in the insect domain, as long as it can be killed, the meat is non-toxic and basically can be eaten, even if it is poisonous, it can still be eaten, whether it can be eaten or not is a matter of strength and financial resources.
Whoever makes the Zerg's flesh rich in energy can be called the best dietary tonic in the resource-poor Insect Domain.
But this is just a guess, and to confirm whether this guess is true, of course, it needs to be experimentally tested.
The best thing to do is to ....... Mandel looked at Mo Ye, "Let's catch a Zerg and test it." ”
Even though Mandel wore goggles that obscured most of his face, Ink Night could still tell the biologist's excitement.
If you understand this subtext more deeply, could it be that Mandel wants to taste worm meat?
Mo Ye just replied lightly, "Catch you and eat?"
Mandel was stunned, scratched his head, and looked very distressed, "Oh no, I forgot that there are no strange beasts to test subjects in this hellish place." ”
The tone was full of pity.
Magel and Mike both held their breath at the same time after hearing Mandel's proposal, and a chill and fear rose up their spines, to say that they were not worried that these people were taking them for experiments was fake, and it was difficult to control the idea of running away immediately.
"Master, the two mercenaries were terrified. ”
A shallow smile slipped through Mo Ye's eyes, Xiao Qi really learned badly, is it swollen with an attitude of watching people gloat?
11Although I can't see Mo Ye, but after listening to what happened and Mandel's speculation, I already have a rough idea in my heart, it is definitely not possible to catch people for experiments, in case it is troublesome to eat a good one, and it is not in line with the spirit of humanitarianism, but well, so many mercenaries have been put here, there are always people who can't help but eat meat, they just need to grasp their whereabouts and pay attention to observation.
However, Mo Ye did something that 11 didn't expect.
Ink Night asks Mager to reveal her suspicions and speculations through the bracelet's communicator.
11 was stunned and then suddenly realized, damn, I almost thought that today was the 'be a good person from today' mode.
As soon as this news is announced, naturally some people believe it and some people don't believe it, and if the believer doesn't eat the worm meat, if there is no violent mutation, then it is indirectly proved that the guess is half right, and if the unbeliever wants to eat it, then look at the results to know whether the guess is accurate.
That's great!
The same group of people are always in a situation where there is no signal, the picture is not clear, after all, it is not good, Xiao Qi will let Mo Ye and a few people appear in the storyboard of the monitoring from time to time to fool the people on the monitoring side.
On top of the satellite fortress, several officers who saw the live storyboard footage of various areas on the star ring through the surveillance footage had completely changed their faces.
While they were talking, there were already many surveillance footage showing that the mercenaries suddenly burst out and killed their comrades-in-arms, and the battle between them and the Zerg was even more inextricable.
"There has been an outbreak of infection. ”
"But how did it happen, why didn't there be any warning, these people didn't even have any lesion process, all the changes seemed to be completed in a matter of seconds, this, this... How can it be. ”
Major Rize shook his head and sat back in his seat, "Are you a stupid deserter from the wormhole, stupidly thinking that the Zerg are just a bunch of monsters who only know how to destroy the limited capacity of the brain?"
The Zerg are much more clever than humans in their research in specific fields, not to mention that after those bugs have absorbed a large number of scientists who have worked hard for them, in terms of biotechnology, the temple that has made a fortune from the legacy of advanced civilization is really not as good as the Zerg.
"Damn, how are these viruses infected, air, drinking water, food, human contact, etc., all aspects have been checked, all possibilities have been investigated, and their biological information is transmitted back every quarter of an hour every day, and before that, they have no signs of infection at all, and all indicators of the human body are very normal. The officer standing beside Ruize paced back and forth, marveling at what was happening in the frame.
In a few minutes, everything was as usual from the surveillance footage, and it was no different from their previous two days, but why did three of them suddenly go crazy.
"What about the commissioners?"
"It has been rushed over, and the infected person will be immediately brought to the quarantine area. ”
"Huh?"
"What's wrong?"
"The infected are gone. ”
"What?" Rize sat up straight and looked at the surveillance screen, "Where did you go?"
"Taken away. The officer waved his hand and motioned for the operator to bring up all the relevant surveillance footage.
"This is the mercenary who just sent over today. Leon checked the register, "The Undead Joan of Arc Mercenary Regiment." ”
"It's a bump. Frowning, he stared at the flickering of snowflakes in a rippling surveillance footage, and by the time the picture returned to calm, the battle was over.
The rampaging mercenaries had been restrained and tied up, and the team continued in the direction indicated on the map.
"They actually plan to take this team to move, so they are not afraid of being affected halfway. Several officers, including Major Razor, were amused by the bold behavior of the team.
"The information on the register shows that the members of this team are very young, and there are always young people who have an inexplicable sense of justice, but that's fine. ”
11 If you hear such an evaluation, you should laugh to death, how can you understand the purpose of their team so well, and see the essence through the phenomenon at once.
"What are they going to do with the infected people they are carrying?"
"Since they are willing to bring people with them, they should take them with them, just to see how these infected people will change without outside drug intervention, and tell the monitoring team to keep an eye on this team at all times. ”
"Yes, Major. ”
Leon stared at the surveillance footage and frowned.
"What's wrong?"
Leon shook his head and said no more.
"Alas, I know you don't like this mission, but if you think about our soldiers lying in the medical center, whether their lives can be saved, and whether there will be other soldiers infected with such a virus in the future, remember your duty. ”
After finishing speaking, Rize no longer paid attention to Leon, who was silent, this time the virus infection incident had occupied most of his energy, and the next battle with the Zerg needed to be prepared, and traces of Zerg activities were found in several stations.
During the general election of the temple and the change of power, these damn zergs became more and more active, and they obviously put a lot of energy into the battle on the other side of the wormhole, and they still had this idle time to make trouble for them, which was really hateful.
Leon was still staring at the surveillance footage of the Immortal Joan of Arc mercenary group, this team made him feel a little disobedient inexplicably, but it didn't seem that he had found any problems so far, and he couldn't find any other way to deal with it except for focused observation.
"Focus on this team. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
After receiving this order, in the following period of time, several soldiers on duty who were mainly responsible for observing and monitoring really understood what it meant to be confused.
Is this team from the Snowflake God Sect, they know that the signal interference in this area is strong, and sometimes the change in the magnetic field, especially at night, will cause the image transmission to be unstable, but there is no team whose signal interruption is frequent to this extent.
Whenever there is a conflict with the Zerg or other mercenaries, it will inevitably ripple and shake and turn into snowflakes, and sometimes it will even be pitch black.
It can't be said that they are always blurry, most of the time their monitoring is normal, but they are doing the same thing normally, hiking, hiking in the desert really has no ornamentation at all, it looks like it has not moved.
This is a pain for the staff, and every time they report, they have to suffer from the attention of the superiors.
There has been no news, and Ruize has paid less attention to this team, but Leon has added a little more attention in his heart.
If it must be classified, it can only be said that he is a battle-hardened soldier with extremely keen intuition.
......
The difference between day and night time in the third ring of the Bellifer star ring is huge,
The long night also meant double the danger, and after a night of encounters, all the mercenaries who were thrown in understood one thing, all the Zerg in this place were nocturnal creatures, and they did not move until dark and were difficult to detect.
As soon as the night comes, it will be rejuvenated and start to act with friends.
This is the third day that the mercenary team has been put into the star ring, and the number of mercenaries who have been put into the first batch of mercenaries in the previous two nights has experienced a surge in the symptoms of rage and murder, and some of them have severe physiological reactions at the beginning of the symptoms, and there are not a few who have died violently.
The legion operators who have been lurking in the shadows without the mercenaries' knowledge have already disposed of many corpses and infected.
The corpses were disposed of on the spot, and the infected were brought back to the quarantine area, and many of the mercenaries in the same batch as Mo Ye didn't even know what kind of danger they might face.
The scorching heat bakes the earth, making the entire desert feel like a giant oven.
Rustling!
Rustling!
The gravel floor makes a continuous sound due to the rapid friction.
A group of people blessed with light spirit skills quickly swept over the sand and stones, and they thought they were flying when they looked at it casually.
It's hard not to be affected by too much movement speed at night, and it's much more suitable to rush during the day, there is no other interference except for a little heat, and the Zerg in this place are as if they are dead during the day, and they can't be angry at all.
Two tall mercenaries, a man and a woman, walked at the front of the way, dragging behind them a stretcher made of frozen ice, and on the stretcher lay three bound unconscious people.
Fortunately, these two people are both physical practitioners, so they can't do such a little physical work, and even their speed doesn't have much effect.
The ice board slid rapidly across the gravel floor.
Whether to bring those three people or not is the choice of the two mercenaries, and whether their teammates want to bring them or not is of course up to them to decide and bear the trouble.
"It should be cool to sit on. Berhart wiped his sweat and moved closer to the ice board, wanting to feel the cold.
They wanted to be closer to the ink night, and the cold air was not too comfortable, but no one had the courage to get close to the deputy group.
Berhart and Vincent sandwiched Moye and Mandel in the middle.
Mo Ye glanced at the time numbers on the bracelet that were still beating, she didn't think that this countdown was a joke, if the virus event was real, then this time limit was probably the last time limit for the Templars to tolerate the possible virus source on the third ring.
As soon as this time passes, I'm afraid that there will be a virus purge here, and the so-called cleaning will probably not be a gentle way, if you can't break it one by one to find a solution, then you have to kill it from the root, the final outcome of the third star ring is to disappear into scattered space junk and return to the beginning.
Mo Ye looked at the moving ice board in front of him, and then retracted his gaze and continued to maintain the iceberg's indifferent face.
It was less than a quarter of the way to the meeting point shown on the map, and the non-stop encounters with the Zerg at night delayed the journey.
Mo Ye raised his head and looked left and right at the sky, his eyes narrowed slightly, if it weren't for these people who followed all the way, the team's marching speed would not have slowed down like this. (To be continued.) )
