Chapter 101: Morgan
"The purpose of our trip is to find Morgan and the plague samples, not to go deep into them."
Standing in front of everyone, Yang Bai said loudly.
Compared to the interior, Neupera does not have a strong plague miasma, so as long as you are not in that environment for a long time, you will not be infected by the plague.
But if you want to find the truth, then going deep into Neupera is inevitable.
So before that, an antidote has to be made. In response, Krent said he was confident that as long as there was the right sample, he would be able to make it.
And he felt that as long as he could find Morgan's clues, Morgan's ability would probably have created an antidote......
Of course, although the plague is powerful, it is actually very low for a person of Yang Bai's strength level.
But in the face of Di Ruiji's phantom in this way, Yang Bai himself was not sure to be honest, so he still decided to make an antidote according to the plan first.
Enter the Shallow Habitat, the outermost part of the town of Neupera. Because this is also near the Necropolis of Neupera, it looks lifeless.
After a short time of advancing, the unexpected happened.
Every now and then, body robbers would crawl out of the ground and attack the crowd.
In this regard, there is no need for Yang Bai to make a move, Lines and Sharon can easily deal with these monsters.
According to Krent's analysis, this kind of corpse thief is a special one, and it belongs to the special person who has been infected with the plague.
After being infected with the plague of Neupera, there are two results, the first is immediate death, and the cycle of their death will be between three days and a week, and the whole process will be extremely painful.
The second type is more cruel than the first, they will first have memory problems, and then they will gradually forget themselves and become powerful and irrational corpse robbers.
After studying the corpses of the corpse robbers, Krent found that the body of the person who became the corpse robber must contain an antibody that can resist the plague toxin, so it will not die immediately.
But because the antibodies are not strong enough, it will become this miserable appearance.
If you want to start building a vaccine antidote, you have to find a powerful corpse snatcher and start studying it with its corpse as a sample.
"Mr. Yang Bai, I feel a little uncomfortable."
As we go deeper and deeper into the shallow habitat, the first person to feel discomfort is Isa, who is the weakest.
After thinking about it for a while, Yang Bai decided to let only Paris and Boken stay, just to be on the safe side. Isa, on the other hand, left here under the protection of Sister Elisi.
The remaining six continued to go deeper, and soon after encountered new enemies.
Resentful spirits are people who have died because of the plague, because they have absorbed the residual energy of the apostles, and they have transformed into energy bodies.
Compared to the corpse thieves who crawled out of the ground, the resentful spirits are even more elusive, and they will always sneak up on Yang Bai and the others in unexpected places and times.
However, this problem was quickly solved, as Yang Bai summoned the phantom ghost.
As the nemesis of the resentful spirits and ghosts, from the moment the phantom appeared, no resentful spirit dared to approach Yang Bai and the others.
Because if they do, they will always end up being devoured by Yang Bai's phantom ghosts.
β¦β¦
"Krent."
Stopping suddenly, Krent looked around, but saw nothing.
Thinking that he had misheard, Krent hurriedly continued to walk a few brisk steps to keep up with the team in front of him, but at this moment, the voice seemed to ring in his ears again.
"Krent ......"
This time, Krent was nervous, so he could hear clearly. It's hard to describe what kind of voice it is, it seems to contain emotions such as unwillingness, resentment, pain, and so on.
"Wait a minute!" Standing still, Krent shouted to stop Yang Bai and the others in front.
"What happened?" Paris wondered.
Waving his hand and not speaking, Krent closed his eyes, and sure enough, he heard the voice again.
"Krent, you're finally here!"
"Boom-"
With an explosion, a figure suddenly popped out of the ground, gasping for air and screaming in pain.
Its hair was almost gone, its body was bloated and disgusting, and its tall body gave it a strong twilight aura.
"Krentβ"
Eyes widened without pupils, it shouted the name it had been waiting for.
His eyes widened as he looked at the dagger hanging from the figure's waist, and Krent immediately knew its identity.
couldn't help but sit on the ground with his legs weak, although Crent had already been mentally prepared, but when he saw his best friend become like this, he still couldn't suppress the pain in his heart.
This corpse snatcher was none other than Morgan, the alchemist.
ββ
Krent...... Even if I die and become a corpse thief before I see you, please be sure to find me.
If you are disgusted with the corrupt and ugly body that roams me, if you can't stand my screams of pain accompanied by blood, please at least kill me with your own hands.
But after you see my eyes full of sorrow and pleading, after you see them shed tears of pain and anger, I hope you will understand...... Then, I hope you will be able to find my diary......
ββ
With bloody tears in the corners of his eyes, Morgan hissed, but did not immediately attack the others, as if struggling with something.
"I see!"
Gritting his teeth, Krent pulled out the long sword at his waist and rushed to Morgan not far away with his red eyes.
The sword pierced Morgan's throat, but instead of falling, it punched Krent next to him.
Because its throat was pierced, its howl became more poignant and painful, and Yang Bai couldn't stand it at all.
Drawing his Shadowless Sword, he lunged at Morgan, dodging and swinging his sword to decapitate it.
"Painful...... It's over. Yang Bai sighed deeply.
The head fell to the ground, and Morgan finally stopped howling, and its body collapsed with a dull sound in the silence of the shallow habitat.
Everything comes and goes fast.
Krent got up from the ground, and without time to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, he quickly ran to Morgan's corpse and fell to his knees.
Tears couldn't stop coming out of his eyes, although he had already realized it, he was just a mortal after all.
The former partner, the former only, the once living person, was tortured into this picture, and no one would not cry.
Yang Bai and the others looked at him silently, but they didn't know how to comfort him.
But Krent was strong, and after crying for a while, he stood up again, wrapped Morgan's head in a cloth, and put it in his bag.
"Let's move on, Morgan has a habit of keeping a diary, and I'm sure I'll find his diary around here!"
