Chapter 305: Parting Ways 1 (Part II)

"Leave it alone! It's going to be ruined here! Pandi pulled Xia Ruobing, the earth trembled even more violently, the floor of this royal tomb that had existed underground for more than 1,000 years was cracking, the stone statues were falling in the vibration, and the stones on the top fell down, and there was no time for Xia Ruobing to study those words.

"Sasha, get the plane to pick us up." Tchaikov and the others return to the frozen land, and he contacts Sasha.

"What the hell is going on?" Sasha asked, surprised.

"It's hard to put into words. Let the engineering team hurry up, there is a hole here to be sealed, and never let people come here again," said Tchaikov exhausted, "I don't think Dick will come back." The diamond mine is gone, no one cares about it anymore, and the royal tomb has been destroyed in the volcano......"

By the time Tchaikov and the others returned to the land, Dick and Chen Badai and Mr. Min had already driven away an all-terrain vehicle, and they had destroyed the rest of the vehicles, so that Tchaikov could no longer chase them.

Wang Xingguo had already collapsed, and at this time, he leaned on Xia Ruobing's arms and fell asleep deeply......

Sasha mobilized helicopters and immediately rushed to Tchaikov's location, accompanied by a control detachment, who would take initial control of the situation, close the hole, and wait for the arrival of the engineering team. The team would blow up the hole and pour thousands of tons of concrete into it, permanently sealing the hole so that the diamonds and the tombs would never be seen.

When Wang Xingguo woke up at the forward base, Xia Ruobing was lying beside him obediently, Wang Xingguo hugged Xia Ruobing lovingly, and Xia Ruobing woke up.

"Awake?" Xia Ruobing smiled sweetly at Wang Xingguo.

"Wake up. I had a dream, there was fire, there was darkness, and there was an ice banshee, cold as frost but as passionate as fire......" Wang Xingguo recalled his dream.

"What did she say to you?" Xia Ruobing asked with a smile.

"She said, I won't leave you......" Wang Xingguo also smiled.

Xia Ruobing couldn't help but hug the person in front of her tightly.

"Ahem...... I don't know when, Sherpa stood at the door, the two quickly separated awkwardly, Xia Ruobing sat up and asked, "Brother, why are you here?" ”

"The test results of the virus are out, and the situation is very optimistic, but it seems that we will have to wait a while longer and do a comprehensive quarantine," Sherpa said, "This is a mixed species of virus, bacteria and fungi, very old, but the strange thing is that the isolated samples contain virus genes from the East, Wang Xingguo judged well, this is something similar to a zombie ant fungus." ”

Sherpa handed the test report to Wang Xingguo, Wang Xingguo browsed it, the virus experiment of the white rat showed that after injection or inhalation, the virus took root in the body like a tree root, invaded the blood system of the organism, opened the channel for bacteria, and after the bacteria entered the blood, it would replace the red blood cells, replace the red blood cells to supply oxygen to the organism, and the fungus further developed, invaded the nervous system, and finally controlled the nervous system.

However, such a terrifying species, it is afraid of the cold, at about 10°, its activity will decrease, at about 0°, it will be dormant, and at minus 10°, the mortality rate is almost 100%.

But if it is not suitable for survival, it will be in a spore state and wait all the time, just like the larval polyp of the peach blossom jellyfish, which will become active when it encounters a suitable host.

"If they belong to the spore state, they can sleep in a dry and warm place for hundreds of years, and they are terrible vitality, right?" Sherpa added.

This terrible life force, but also fragile, it is almost impossible for it to survive the cold winter here, so they can only survive underground, which is not difficult to explain, when those living dead can't find a new host to infect, why they are driven by instinct to return to the warm ground.

"What about the devourers?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"Tchaikov said that the migratory royal family brought it from Loulan, and I remember that we had seen similar insects in the Coffin Mountain, and when there was no meat, they fed on aggregate spores. Theoretically, if you are bitten by an insect, you will also be infected with the zombie virus, but the person who is bitten has no chance to become a zombie. Sherpa said.

"And how long are we going to stay?" Xia Ruobing asked.

"According to the procedure, a one-month quarantine, but there is good news, some people naturally have antibodies to this spor, that is, they cannot be infected." Sherpa said.

"I saw the body of old Citchell and he didn't seem to be infected." Wang Xingguo remembered the dried corpse curled up on the stone chair.

"Is the House of Zacher really cursed?" Xia Ruobing asked.

"While I was hoping it was a curse, the test results seemed interesting." Tchaikov and Pandey appeared at the door.

Xia Ruobing and Wang Xingguo looked at the test report, which was the DNA monitoring report of some Dick's hair samples that Tchaikov had taken from the flagship.

"Actually, I also sympathize with the Zacher family, maybe that's the price to pay for greed." Tchaikov said, spreading his hands.

Dick's DNA test contains a genetic defect that dooms Dick to low fertility and has extremely low sperm X chromosome activity, so it is almost impossible for him to have a daughter.

"What's going on?" Wang Xingguo asked, this disease is very rare.

"Radiation! In order to mine diamonds, we have been in the ground for too long, and we have tested the diamonds taken from the ground, and they all have trace amounts of radiation, although they are not harmful to the human body, but who knows ......what will happen in such a radiation environment for a long time," Pandey interjected.

"But why don't the people of the Tchaikov family have such a hereditary?" Xia Ruobing asked curiously.

"I forgot to tell you that my ancestors were not from the Loulan royal family, although one ancestor married a princess, barely it can be regarded as such, and my ancestors were in the Loulan royal family, who were in charge of the royal family's diet, and did not have many opportunities to mine diamonds," Tchaikov said lightly, at this point he had to thank his ancestors for their humble origins, "This genetic defect of the Tchaicher family makes it difficult for them to have children, and their lifespans are not too long, I have checked the lifespans of all men after old Tchaicher, The longest one is only 57 years old, and the average life expectancy is only 41 years! ”

"In other words, most of them finally had children in their 30s, and their life spans are coming to an end?" Sherpa asked.

"Yes. But more precisely, they don't have only one child, it's just that this genetic defect makes it difficult for their children to survive, Dick actually has three older brothers, but two of them are stillborn, and one died less than a week after birth. ”

"It's a miracle that Dick is alive until now," cried Pandey, "but I'd rather he was the one who died!" ”

"This is a report of 200 years of underground activity in this area, and I have worked it." Tchaikov handed Wang Xingguo a report and said.

"Every 20 to 50 years, underground activity intensifies, and this year happens to be a ......period of frequent underground activity," Wang Xingguo said, looking at the charts and data on the report.

"Yes, that's the Red Dragon Disturbance," Tchaikov winked his eyes at him, "If I'm not mistaken, the Blood Falls has something to do with this geological movement." According to the ancestors, diamond mines and royal tombs were most exposed in years of intense geological activity, but now it is finally over, and thousands of years of worries are over......"

"In the midst of frequent lava and earthquakes, as well as the interference of insects and viruses, the underground royal tombs that the Loulan people spent hundreds of years building in that era of low production efficiency were ultimately unsuccessful." Wang Xingguo said with a smile.

"Haha! But I prefer to believe that my family has paid so much to protect the red dragon, Wang Xingguo, there is no royal tomb here, only the red dragon ......" Tchaikov smiled heartily.

"Tchaikov, do you think it makes sense to guard an underground lava for so many generations?" Wang Xingguo asked.

"No point," Tchaikov laughed, then clenched his hands into fists and added, "But we saved a lot of people." ”

"We've been through so much of the incredible as a group." Wang Xingguo said with emotion.

"Wang Xingguo, I think you can be a good defender." Tchaikov laughed.

"Guarding the Red Dragon, or the Tomb?" Wang Xingguo asked rhetorically.

"There are no royal tombs, only red dragons, and I must stress this again. But whatever, maybe in the face of disaster, those who are greedy will wake up, so we have spent hundreds of years enriching all kinds of legends. In the face of greed, there has to be something to stop the crazy people. ”

Wang Xingguo smiled but did not speak.

"Oh, where's Chen Badai?" Sherpa asked.

"He's not the same kind of person as we are." Xia Ruobing shook her head and said.

Wang Xingguo sighed and said, "Sherpa, Chen Badai and Dick are gone. ”
