[Oops, oops: Attention all tourists! In the near future, there will be a large-scale outbreak of viruses in key star fields in various countries, please transfer all visitors who don't want the character to die to a relatively safe star field in time, this time the world line has been changed too much, and the entire pan-universe will be affected, so don't take it lightly!! If you see this news, please forward it more so that more people know about it!! 】

[Oops, oops: I copied and pasted it when I saw it in other chat rooms, and asked if there was anyone in the group who knew the inside story? 】

[VTYIKH: It's funny, it's a large-scale virus, what age is this?] Is the believer retarded? 】

[No, no, no, no: I know a friend who works as an experimenter on the Ron Experimental Star, and he said that Ron will make big moves in the recent period, and the Experimental Star has been stepping up research on viruses, which may be true. (.Yes.)? (.meaning.)? (.think.)? (.book.)? (.Hospital.)】

[VTYIKH: Ront?] Are you sure? I'm in the central sector of the Cotesa administrative field, will there be a virus outbreak here? I finally bought this role, but I don't want to be reimbursed so early, should I find a reason to run away? 】

[No, no, no, no: Run, the place I'm in is not a core area, I plan to avoid it for a while, although it is very exciting to participate in person, but it is safer to watch from the sidelines if there is danger, God knows what the old madman intends to do. 】

[Beibei: How are the few people upstairs so sure it's Ronte's handiwork? Although he is the villain boss in the original work, the careerists who are enough to be villains in this world can't be counted on two hands, and the world line changes, and it is not necessary that a new boss will appear! 】

[No, no, no, no: What you said is very valuable for reference, but in any case, small fish and shrimp like us are not qualified to participate, and from a distance, you may be able to watch it! ] 】

[Beibei: Hehe, you can watch quietly, I try my best to participate in it, it is the first time that the world line has changed so drastically, and God knows when the next time will be if I miss this opportunity. 】

[Oops, oops: Is it okay for the god of Beibei to take me a!!] I want to get involved too! 】

[Beibei: Private chat.] 】

[Oops, oops: Okay! 】

【VTYIKH：……】

[No, no, no, no: ......]

[VTYIKH: I'm not going to run, my position is in the right place, why should I run.] Beibei, your private chat permission is not open, and I can't send my message. 】

[No, no, no, no: ...... Well, I'm timid, I'm waiting for good news from you. 】

……

Similar chat messages have occurred in many chat rooms, and various gossip is circulating in the shadows, and the viral version is just one of them.

Although the content of the chat room is seen by tourists, the characters played by tourists are connected to other people in the world, and it does not take much time for panic to spread from the chat room to all corners of the world.

Just when everyone was panicking, the virus really broke out.

The first star field where the virus was discovered was located in a strategic area near the no-man's land of Cotesa, and the virus did not appear out of nowhere, but was gradually discovered by people along with a strange mutated creature.

The creature was brought back by a team of four-star adventurers returning from an expedition to Arturisd, and according to the team members, after they survived a massive Arturisd attack, they found several of these creatures on the wreckage of a starship, and when they found them, they were put in isolation boxes and brought back to Kortesa for some reason.

After returning to Cotesa, the adventurer team chose a nearby auction house to auction the unknown creature separately, and as soon as it appeared in the auction column, it was quickly bought back by several research institutions.

One of the first to break out was none other than one.

The unknown organism caused the virus to spread, and several other research institutions immediately raised the security level, but it was unsuccessful, and within two months, these research institutions fell one after another, and the virus began to spread.

Discovering that the virus was developing in an uncontrollable direction, the Cottesa Federation reacted quickly and immediately used the most advanced star block technology to block all the star regions where the virus had broken out, and finally alleviated the situation.

But it's only relief.

The fish that escaped from the blockade area brought the virus to the safe area, and a new wave of virus outbreaks came surgingly, and what made the Kotesa people even more troubled was that the few hard-hit areas that were finally blocked did not know which force was destroyed, and the new virus that had been locked up and mutated for an unknown number of generations spread outward more rapidly than before.

In the military headquarters building of the Eighth Military Headquarters of the Hanhai Empire, Yang Qinglan, who was holding a plenary meeting of the military headquarters of the bus, glanced down at the terminal on his wrist and found that Old Martin had sent a brief message.

[I caught their tails!] 】

Yang Qinglan's eyes lit up, and she quickly replied, "I'll come over right away." Immediately ended the conference, which was nearing the end, and hurried to the experimental star.

At this time, there are already the shadow of viruses in many places in the pan-universe, according to monitoring, this virus named "ribbon fish" has evolved and upgraded to the thirty-fourth generation, and it has long been out of the controllable range of various countries, and countless researchers in the pan-universe have been studying virus antibodies together and cannot keep up with its evolutionary speed, so that many senior researchers can not bear the pressure and choose to commit suicide.

There have also been many disaster areas in the Hanhai Empire, but they have not affected the administrative star field for the time being, and the situation is quite stable in terms of sorting out, but no one knows how long this stability can last.

Seeing the virus spreading day by day, Yang Qinglan was a little anxious.

The initial virus was her handiwork, but it was just a bait for the conspirators she drew out of the side quest.

As she expected, the conspirators really took the bait, but the speed of their actions caught her by surprise, obviously the mother virus was produced by the experimental star, and as a result, even old Martin was helpless against the current virus.

In addition, although the conspirators bite the hook, they are still hidden deep under the water and do not show their true faces, even if they are confident in their strategic layout, Yang Qinglan always has a feeling that he has escaped.

Fortunately, old Martin finally caught the conspirator's tail before the situation completely got out of control, and she still had a chance to turn the tables!

In Old Martin's secret laboratory, Yang Qinglan saw a miniature creature that looked like an octopus but was only the size of a palm.

Staring at the mollusk that was just food no matter how it looked, Yang Qinglan turned her head to look at Old Martin.

"What is this?"

"You want a tail!"

“…… What does it do? ”

"Come on, come on, I'll show you something, don't be fooled by its appearance."

As he spoke, Old Martin pulled over an instrument from the side, stretched an observation glass in front of the half-dead "Octopus", and then turned on the display screen to enlarge the picture.

"See these spikes hidden in the tentacles?"

"Hmm."

"These spikes are nerves that can grow, and they are directly connected to the brain of this little thing, and in addition to this soft outer skin, its whole body except for the nerves is the brain."

“…… Please be plain. ”

"Let's put it this way, when I grabbed it, it was already halfway into the Arturisid hatchling beneath our feet, and if it was too late, it would be able to burrow in, replace the hatchling's brain, and connect the nerve centers with these spikes."

"You mean it's a parasite?"

"Understandable, though I prefer to call it a puppet bug, even though it's a bit bigger."

"It's a little bigger than the average parasite, but for Arturisd, something so small can replace their brains?"

"They may not be able to do that on their own, but the people who make them can."

Old Martin pushed the observation instrument away, dragged a new instrument from the side, and opened the display screen to show Yang Qinglan.

"This is the control chip I stripped off from it, and I've only stripped out seventy-two pieces so far, and if you come a little later, I might be able to strip it off."

"Seven...... How many pieces are there? ”

"I reckon it might be a hundred and eight."

"Can you crack their technology through these chips?"

"I'm doing it, and it's not just technology, give me a little more time, and I'll be able to chase it backwards and dig up all the people who made them!"

"Hurry up on this work, since our one is almost controlled, then the other hatchlings hidden in various parts of the pan-universe may have been successfully controlled, and I don't want to dig out the people behind the scenes after the destruction of the world."

"Hehehehe, if someone outside knows that you are trying so hard to stop these conspirators, I'm afraid they will lose their eyes, right? In their eyes, you are the number one dangerous person to watch out for. ”

"In the past, I never thought that one day I would be a savior, after all, 'Ront' is an old madman who implements 'egoism' to the extreme, but now I look at it, it feels pretty good."

"Hey, hey, what you want to do has nothing to do with me, I just want to experiment."

"Come on, I need to get the data as soon as possible."

"No problem."

……

With an initial piece of data, Yang Qinglan left the experimental star, and then through this time, Lofeel, who had become much more honest, contacted Suoso, who was still stranded in Kotesa.

As soon as she turned on the holographic display of real-time communication, Yang Qinglan didn't say a word of the greeting she had prepared in advance, staring at the face covered with silver-white tiny scales, her expression was so heavy that she could drip.

"What's wrong with your face?"

On the other side of the hologram, Suo Suo looked very relaxed, and raised his hand to scratch his face, and the thin scales fell like snowflakes, revealing the bloodshot skin inside, which looked particularly terrifying.

"It's nothing, it's just a 'hairtail', except for a little itch and always want to scratch, it's not a big deal for the time being."

But with a word, the part that had just been scratched off the scales quickly grew new scales, covering the bare skin, and Yang Qinglan was chilled when he saw it.

She couldn't hold back a punch and slammed it on the table, causing the communicator to shake violently, and Suoso's hologram was incomplete for two or three seconds.

"Nothing?! The mortality rate of 'hairtail fish' is infinitely close to 100%, and the longest time of death is only one month. ”

Suoso raised an eyebrow and let out a soft "hum" from his nose.

"I don't think you contacted me to show your grandfather's care, to be blunt."
